Whats going on with my body?!
Question: okay. for about a month or so i was taking a combination of vitamin c and niacin. My skin turned whitish, and i was told that it was because I was taking too much VIT. C and that i was producing too much white blood cells. That happened when I stopped taking the niacin with the vitamin c.
NOW, my nurse told me to do a colon cleanse to get the extra vitamin c out of my system, but my skin color hasnt come back yet. I STILL have no pigment in my skin. WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT CAN I DO?! Ive already gone to get checked out and the doctors said nothing was wrong except I was producing a little more biribulin in my liver.
and whats even more weird is that when i drink water, my skin turns white? Is that because the toxins are coming out of my skin. the depigmentation is ALL OVER MY BODY.

Here is a link that may answer your question:

In this article (under tropical treatments
section and also Vitamin C section) it mentions about Vit C inhibiting melanin
production. Melanin is what causes
pigmentation of the skin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_whiten...
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin. That
means it can easily be washed out of the
body through the kidneys. IT may take
a little time for this overdose to be removed
from the body and the melanin to build up again.
If your doctor says your bilirubin level is
going higher, then I would watch to see
if your whites of the eyes or skin turns
a yellow color. This is the first sign of
problems with the liver.
The white blood cells don't really have
much to do with the color of the skin, they
have a lot to do with repairing the skin
when it is injured.
I hope this info is of some help.
