The pollutant dioxin is a powerful tumor-promoter and nerve toxin. Yet, in a cell-culture study, researchers found that several antioxidants BLOCKED the tumor-promoting effects of dioxin. The antioxidants used were vitamins C and E and mannitol, a type of sugar that also scavenges hydroxyl free-radicals.
A vitamin C flush is the method of taking appropriate large doses of vitamin C within a 24-hour period to detoxify your body, protecting the body from chemical toxins and infection.
It’s simply introducing high amounts of vitamin C into the body at regular intervals until the intestines flush themselves carrying along toxins in a watery stool. This method of detoxification is cheap, quick and easy.
In the early 70s, nursing school first introduced me to the cell-cleansing properties of Vitamin C —that was when this knowledge was not censored.
Vitamin C (supplemented as ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate) is the body’s primary preventative antioxidant agent of free-radicals damage. That’s what makes it so anti-aging.
Research has shown that people with high levels of Vitamin C in the blood live longer than those with low levels. High Vit C levels also decrease lead levels.
Vitamin C recycles vitamin E, therefore, its deficiency lowers vitamin E status. Notice that Vit E is mentioned above in the study as one of the antioxidants needed to block the tumor-promoting effects of dioxin.
Getting To Bowel Tolerance
Dosing Vit C to ‘bowel tolerance’ means taking the highest divided doses possible in 24 hours without causing loose, watery stools.[1]
Bowel tolerance in adults occasionally occurs as low as 4 grams per day but often takes more than 10 grams daily. Pregnancy requires much more.
Babies and children need far less. In a minute, we will discuss babies and children.
If you’re taking vitamin C with the goal of troubleshooting constipation, then you’ll want to exceed your bowel tolerance – that is, you want to take so much that you have a loose stool (caused by osmosis of water into the intestines).
But if your aim in taking these nutrients is something other than a bowel movement, then it is typically advisable to keep dosage within your bowel tolerance.[2] This isn’t just to spare yourself an urgent run to the bathroom: it’s also to ensure proper absorption of the nutrients you take.
Bowel tolerance varies from person to person, and can change over time, as well.
Vit C For Babies and Children Under 9 Years
Using this chart, you can determine what your young child needs for daily protection.
Double or triple their dosages during times of illness. If they experience loose or soft stools, lower the dose and spread it out further.
Vit C can be mixed in no-sugar-added juice, breastmilk, a smoothie, mashed foods, made into gummies, or given directly off the finger to the youngest baby in the appropriate amounts listed.
Dr. Suzanne Humphries recommends these 3 Vitamin C brands for her young whooping cough patients to keep them out of the hospital. See Dr. Suzanne’s comments on these products in the red text here.
- NutriBiotic buffered, powdered sodium ascorbate
- Liposomal sodium ascorbate
- Sufficient-C brand ascorbic acid
Determining Bowel Tolerance With Vit C For Age 10 and Up
It is important to use buffered sodium ascorbate powder as your source of Vitamin C, while buffered ascorbic acid powder is somewhat less effective.
For 10 years and older, this is one common method for determining “bowel tolerance” for Vitamin C:
- Take 2 grams (2,000mg) of sodium ascorbate.
- 15 minutes later, take another 1 gram (1,000 mg) of sodium ascorbate.
- 15 minutes later, take another 1 gram.
- Continue taking 1 gram of sodium ascorbate every 15 minutes until you experience diarrhea.
- Take note of how many total grams it takes to cause the loose stool(s). Then calculate 75% of that amount to determine how much vitamin C to take daily, in divided doses.
- If loose stools occur again (which sometimes happens after about a week), reduce the total daily dose by another 25%.
For example, if it took a total of 10 grams of vitamin C to stimulate diarrhea, 75% of 10 grams is 7.5 grams (or 7,500mg). Splitting this up over the course of the day could mean taking 2.5 grams three times daily, or 4 grams in the morning and 3.5 grams at night.
Once the Vitamin C Flush is completed with high doses of Vit C, you can continue taking smaller doses of ascorbate acid every four hours for the next couple days, trying to maintain a thicker, tapioca-like stool. If diarrhea occurs again, lower the dosage. This can be done for a more-thorough detoxification, but is not required.
In the case of any ongoing toxic event, you can administer that dosage daily as prevention.
Bowel Tolerance Increases With Illness
It has been observed that the sicker a patient is, or the more deficient they are in Vit C, the higher their tolerance is for Vit C.[5] You may therefore find that if you get sick with a cold or flu, or are wheezing through allergy season, that your bowel tolerance of vitamin C increases.

“Vitamin C is NEVER a poison in the body, because so many functions of the body require it, and whenever you take too much, you will have an episode of loose bowels, as the excess is removed from the body. This is how you know you’ve had more than enough.” ~Dr. Suzanne Humphries
“All heroin withdrawl patients reported a loss of craving for drugs while taking large doses of Vitamin C, during detoxification. Of the first 30 carefully monitored heroin addicts, 30 successfully withdrew from their addiction with no more than minor discomfort. None of the 30 were reported to have relapsed.” ~Irwin Stone on this study
