Whole Mom

My daughter, Abigail, is teething.  If you have ever had a teething child… you know that it is no fun for the child, and no fun for the parents!  Generally a good night sleeper, last night Abigail was up for about 1 1/2 hours during the middle of the night.  This random act of teething put my sleeping time at 1:30am-5:30am… 4 hours… you got that? FOUR.  Now, there was a time in my life when I regularly, and willingly, stayed up until 1:30am… but that was before I had a small child calling for me at 6am.

I’m getting off track… but the purpose of this post is to tell you how ok I felt the next day.  I am the type of person who likes, and needs, my sleep.  I have not done well with the whole “now I’m a mommy and tired all the time” thing.  If I don’t get 7 hours of sleep at night, I usually have a tough(ish) time functioning the next day.  SO… when, after getting only 4 hours of shut eye, I actually felt ok and was able to function like a semi-normal person… I knew that something had affected me in a very positive way.

A couple of days before, I had done a Vitamin C, ascorbate calibration, or “flush.”  Basically you take a ton of Vit C ascorbate every 15 minutes throughout the day until toxins literally “stream” out of you (*smile*).  My body had accepted a whooping 34,000mg of Vit C ascorbate (that is a LOT!).  Since then I have been taking 18,000mg+ of Vit C ascorbate per day.  Vit C ascorbate has been shown to be very beneficial and can help you with everything from just generally feeling better, to severe illnesses. 

Please read my nutritionist friend Jessica Forbes’ blog at the Marilyn Farms Company website to learn the details on how to feel better with VIt C ascorbate!   (I DO recommend that you begin the flush in the morning as is recommended… I started in the late afternoon and  paid for it all night).

Enjoy!  Let me know if you try it, and how good it makes you feel!  Thanks for reading!
