Wow. I read every word of every page. I really hope I do not ask something that was already asked.
So taking into account the oxolate issue that came up for another user, yet the overall concensus (I have the books mentioned on hold, I will read them) that supplemental Vit C/sodium ascorbate in the powder form is a good thing for your entire system, it makes sense to me to start taing it, perhaps not in the uber high maintenance dose, but still in a dose on the high side of things.
okay. I can do that.
I don't drink juice, or smoothies. Just water and tea. So is mixing it in water still a decent option, and won't taste horrid? if I mixed it WITH some Emergen-C for the kids, in water, to mask any SA taste, would that work do you think?
Next, I recall MT saying that if she feels an illness coming on , she waits to see if it's mucosal, a cold, or not. If it's NOT a cold, she loads on the extra SA, but if it IS a cld she backs off on the SA until it's finished in her system.
Why? Is this a practice that makes sense, in your understanding of SA?
To get all my questons out at once, I've also read the first 20-odd pages of the mmunology 101 sticky . . . but it just bowls me over, I cannot get a firm grip on any of it, as it so complex and ALL so specific and new to me (and I used to work in supplements and nursing). Is there another way I can start, just start, to get a handle on this sort of immune system information? A book? I understand, purely in a nursing degree way, how the immune system works. but in terms of testing my soil and adding missing nutrients and knowing what's low in the farms in my area where I buy our foods, whoa. I'm already lost.
With all the food aversions and varied dietary needs of our household of 5, I need to supplement for some things, in addition to having a healthy, whole foods (but not TF) diet. I want to get a rasp on how to give our bodies what they need to have the strong immunity they need.
Oh and, a page back or so, a user said this thread is like memory lane, 'back when you could buy supplements made in China without worry'. Okay, I avoid MIC foods etc . . . so is there guaranteed NA sources of SA out there? I have access to the natural factors chews that MT refers to for travel, but I want a daily powder that is safe also.
Thank you in advance for your help. I am so glad I am able to ask this of such knowledgeable people.

Believe me we are all confused in some way most of the time.
But even there are issues with his foundation WAPF being complex and open to interpretation. And of course there are issues with dealing with a damaged body, interventionist medicine and toxic world many generations later that perhaps needs much more support than a whole foods TF diet is able to offer.
