What are the quickest ways of ridding your body of vitamin c?!


Question: What are the quickest ways of ridding your body of vitamin c!?
My nurse told me I overdosed on the vitamin c chewables!. I took 3200% dv daily for about 3 months!. and now my skin is a darker color from the vitamin c, which turned into toxins floating around in my bloodstream!.

I know psyllium husk and drinking water is one method, but is there another!? can I go to the hospital and have it cleaned out my system!? I've been doing both for about 5 months, and my skin isn't back to its normal color yet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Speaking as a GRADUATE NURSE, I will be happy to answer your question and correct others who are misinformed!.

The truth is you DID take too much, hence, the term "overdose" used!. Overdose does not equate to "death!." Nobody needs to take such excessive amounts of vitamins!. Get it from nutritious foods, not a pill!.

You have already flushed out the extra vitamin C, so no need to worry about that component of your problem!. As others have said, it is a water soluble vitamin and the excess is excreted through the urine!.

As far as the darkening of your skin goes, there are a few possibilities with that!. I know that Vitamin C increases absorption of iron!.!.!. and I wonder if there is a connection there!. I know iron injections if done improperly can stain the tissue!. The other thing off the top of my head I think of is your adrenal glands going into overdrive!.

Either way, you ought to seek out a doctor, and not strangers on a website that are "guessing" as to what could be wrong, expecially those with no official training!. Even a physician (and other nurses) who would read this would recommend that!.

As a word of advice to you- do not get caught up in self medicating with vitamins or herbs because of something you read off the internet!. The internet is full of potentially harmful, sensational, WRONG information!. If you want to help yourself, learn about how your body works!. Get a good anatomy and physiology book and take biology!. You will be able to distinguish sensational information from that of a reliable source!. You will conclude that if a little of something is good then it does not mean that a lot of something is even better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your nurse partied too much when she went to college!.

Vitamin C scavenges free radicals which is the exact opposite of causing toxins to be "floating around in your bloodstream!."

Edit: The niacin can do weird **** to your skin!. Vitamin C is absolutely irrelevant even though you sense a correlation!. The niacin could be completely irrelevant as well!.

It's not iron absorption like naughty nurse said, because too much iron doesn't manifest that way, and symptoms wouldn't persist for 5 months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Jessie K is right!. Your body cannot store vitamin C, so it's impossible to "overdose" on it!. Any extra you've taken will just be passed through in urine!. Also, vitamin C cannot magically turn into toxins--totally ludicrous!

It sounds like a better question might be, "How can I find a better doctor's office for my medical needs!?"Www@Answer-Health@Com

vitamin c is water soluble and you will pee out the excess!. it doesn't store in your liver like some vitamins!. so don't take it any more!. and drink lots of water and pee it out!. You could have too much potassium, that makes your skin darker, do you crave salt!? thats another symptom of too much potassium!.

**I love nurses, but they are not doctors and dont know as much!.** she is wrong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drink water and pee it out!.

Really, Vitamin C doesn't stick around in your system, you might want to get a second opinion from a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

IM SORRY TO LET YOU KNOW BUT IM LOOKING AT A MEDICAL BOOK!.!.!.YER BODY GETS RID OF ANYTHING OVER 100% SO SOMETHING ELSE IS CAUSING YER CHANGE IN SKIN COLORWww@Answer-Health@Com

Who told you that!? What a quack! Your body cannot store Vitamin C! You just pee out anything over 100%!

Just eat a normal amount of citrus, your skin color has a different cause!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've had my fair share of bruises!. I was the kid who got beat up on the playground a lot, so I know what it's like to have bruises you don't want people to notice!. What causes a bruise!? Bruises are most often caused by broken capillaries (small veins of blood near the surface of your skin) after a sudden impact!. These broken capillaries then allow blood to go where it usually doesn't, which is what you see when the bruise starts to turn red and then purple!. Now, we're not going to get into how to prevent bruises here because that should be left to someone who knows something about children, child safety products, and child proofing a home--or adult proofing a home if you're particularly clumsy or suffer from a blood clotting deficiency like Hemophilia!. I'm here to tell you how to get rid of that bruise!. Getting rid of a bruise isn't really possible!. Well, it is and it isn't!. Your body does most of the work itself, but there are some things you can do to help speed your body's natural healing processes!. Read on if you want to know how to get rid of a bruise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
