Then I read Linus Paulings book "How to Feel Good and Live Longer. There he --------- pointed out that vitamin C was a natural aid to regularity and that the amount of C we needed each day could be determined by the amount needed to produce a normal stool. As he suggested, I began mom on 1 gram the first day. Not enough. Two the next. Not enough Finally worked up to 6 and "bingo", normal movement without strain. Now she takes 3 grams in the morning in juice, 2 at noon and 1 later in the evening if she hasn't had a movement. No more enemas, laxitives, bran or other bulking agents. I urge lots of water, fruit, whole grains depending on her appetite. But the C is what does it! Carol Brow Lake Leelanau, MI [log in to unmask]
