Dr Coimbra mentions here at frame 25:00
That very high doses of vitamin C may cause oxalosis.

Yes, it is true.
My doctor here in Argentina said that I can't take vitamin C supplements. I mean high doses of vitamin C.
But the restriction of vitamin C isn't so extreme as the calcium restriction.
Coimbra Protocol needs to be applied by a certificated doctor.

Hi Lionel,

The doctor wasn't specific about how much vitamin C I can take.
He said that, if I don't take any vitamin C supplement then I don't need to pay attention to it.
Only to pay attention to my calcium intake.

Hi mrtmeo,
Second my brother's doctor:
If you take something nearly the current recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin C - 60 mg/d. Then you don't need to worry about it.
You only need to worry if you exceed 1g/d of vitamin C.
There are people that take vitamin C supplements. However, they do it with a physician supervision.

Hi Antonio,
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I usually give my mom 250mg C, but if she has a herpes flare, I give liposomal 2gms every 12 hrs and liposomal is more powerful than IV C.

So 2 grams per day of vitamin D would be a problem?

Hi zjac020,
Yes, definitively.
If you take 2 grams/day of vitamin C you really need to have a certified doctor guiding you. At least, at the beginning of the treatment.
It can mess up your results with high doses of vitamin D.
