I don't go to conventional doctors either except for accidents when my guts are spilling out. I'm in exceptional health because I do the opposite of their suggestions, for real. Mega doses of vitamin C to bowel tolerance (to the tunes of 35 grams/day during the healing period only), vitamin therapy and nutrient dense diet helped me heal a complete fracture without surgery. Never had any pain. Proved it!
There is this
Although vitamin C can be well tolerated at doses well above the RDA recommendations, adverse effects can occur at doses above 3 grams per day though overload is unlikely. Possible adverse effects of megadoses include diarrhea, increased oxalate excretion and kidney stones, increased uric acid excretion, systemic conditioning ("rebound scurvy"), preoxidant effects, iron overload, reduced absorption of vitamin B12 and copper, increased oxygen demand and acid erosion of the teeth. In addition, one case has been noted of a woman who had received a kidney transplant followed by high-dose vitamin C and died soon afterwards as a result of calcium oxalate deposits that destroyed her new kidney. Her doctors concluded that high-dose vitamin C therapy should be avoided in patients with renal failure.
