Boost your immune system with a Vitamin C flush

Over time, your body collects toxins, or poisons, that can damage your health. They collect in your lymphatic system and this can affect your body’s ability to repair itself.

The lymphatic or “lymph” system is an important part of the immune system. It’s made up of vessels, organs, nodes and ducts that help maintain fluid balance in your body. Plus, the lymph system makes, stores and carries white blood cells throughout your body.

Toxins can pile up in your lymph nodes. Two-thirds of your immune system resides in these lymph nodes. If they are full of toxins, your body will not respond correctly to new stresses. Also, allergies and autoimmune diseases can start with these nodes when they are full of waste. A process called a “Vitamin C flush” can help your body get rid of this waste.

The Vitamin C flush can help stimulate your lymphatic system and help you calculate the maximum amount of Vitamin C that your body can use every day.

Because Vitamin C is water soluble, it must be taken every day. It is an important antioxidant that helps protect cells against damage caused by free radicals (unstable atoms or molecules). It also supports the body’s immune system and plays a role in healthy gums, skin, vision and connective tissue. Here’s how the flush works:

1. Start your flush in the morning on an empty stomach; set aside at least 4 hours. It will not take that long but you want to have that time to comfortably recover from the flush.

2. Take 1 teaspoon of TriVita Non-Acidic Vitamin C Crystals in 4 or more ounces of water every 15 minutes until the lymph system "flushes."

   Important Note: Some people report loose stools or even diarrhea with large amounts of Vitamin C. The lymph flush is not to be confused with diarrhea. Lymph fluid is plasma – mostly water. You will know your lymph system has flushed when you release large amounts of fluid through your bowels. This is the point where your body can no longer absorb Vitamin C.

3. Multiply the number of teaspoons of Vitamin C it took to flush by 0.75. This is the maximum number of teaspoons you can use in a day.

   Example: 8 teaspoons to flush x 0.75 = 6

   Take no more than 6 teaspoons of Vitamin C per day

4. Divide the number of daily teaspoons by 3; this will be your serving in the morning, midday and evening.

   Example: Maximum of 6 teaspoons

   6 ÷ 3 = 2 teaspoons

   2 teaspoons in the morning

   2 teaspoons at midday

   2 teaspoons in the evening

5. Finish the bottle of Vitamin C at this reduced serving. You may continue taking this amount daily for several months if desired.

The average person can flush 1-4 times per year. In time, and after several flushes, you may see that your daily Vitamin C needs go down to what may be considered a more normal serving – one or two teaspoons, twice a day.

Success Stories

Since I started taking TriVita’s Vitamin C Crystals I never get a cold, and I’m usually the first one to get it. I’ll stand behind it… this stuff works. It’s the best Vitamin C I can buy. I’ve tried other brands, and they don’t work. The people in my family that don’t take it get sinus colds, flu and other viruses. My brother and I both take it and don’t get sick. I used to have five or six colds a year, but last year I had just one small one all winter long. It’s amazing to me.

I’ve been taking TriVita’s Vitamin C Crystals and I haven’t gotten sick for a long time. If you had known me before, you’d know how quickly I’d get sick with Bronchitis, which would leave me with a bad cough for up to six weeks. Since I added the Vitamin C crystals, I’m feeling even better. I like them because they release slowly in your system. I take them year round, and need just ¼ teaspoon a day. I add a bit more if I feel I’m getting a sore throat, but then it goes away! I am a homecare nurse. I am around a lot of germs and sickness, yet I am not getting sick!

I was reading other members’ success stories in TriVita’s catalog and thought I’d like to share mine. Four years ago I started taking TriVita’s Sublingual B-12 and Vitamin C Crystals. I work in construction, in the rain and dampness. Every year I’d get two or three infections in my chest, plus the usual colds. Since I’ve been taking the Vitamin C crystals I have not had a cold or been sick in four years. The only times I felt a cold coming on was when I wasn’t diligent about taking the crystals. Once I add them back to my regimen it goes away. It’s been such a help to me. I can’t afford to be sitting at home nursing a cold! I can’t hold back-when something works so well, I have to tell people! I’m sold on TriVita products. I’ve referred others and seen how these products help them!

• A report in The New England Journal of Medicine indicates that the overall cancer death rate has increased substantially since 1950. And, some studies are showing Vitamin C treatment therapies are showing promising results.
• Scientists involved with the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) found that low blood levels of Vitamin C, a marker of poor fruit and vegetable intake, may result in a higher risk of heart attacks and stroke in men and women, and some cancers in men.
• A new study finds that a diet rich in Vitamin C could reduce the risk of lung problems. Researchers from the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom found that an increase in Vitamin C can promote higher levels of lung function and lung health.
• A Finnish study finds that men who have the lowest concentrations of Vitamin C in their bloodstreams are nearly two and a half times as likely to suffer a stroke as those who have the highest concentrations.
