I've been waiting for that explanation although a I might have missed it. Thanks
The last thing posted about it came mainly from here:

Sodium ascorbate is suggested because it is alkaline and thus it doesn't "burn" the rectal mucosa. Just like IV vitamin C, you use an alkaline version.
For oral ingestion, plain ascorbic acid would do. In case of severe sickness, you can combine oral ascorbic acid plus oral liposomal vitamin C and if results are not good enough, you can add the sodium ascorbate enema.

Thank you Gaby!!! The enema to cleanse and then proceed next to the 15 to 30 grams of ascorbate? I'm wondering how long the vitamin c will continue to be effective at this dose? Can this be a boon of sorts, and that we've done all that can be done and for how long until this needs to be repeated to maintain dynamic flow?
I know this might seem somewhat out there but I'm very concerned and could give a tinkers dam about what other people think because they don't. Not here of course.

I don't think anyone can give you a cut and dry formula. It depends on the disease and the person. Reading about past experiences is useful, you get an idea of what to expect on how much was used in which condition. There are articles posted in this thread. For instance, here is a summary:
http://www.health-matrix.net/2013/06/22/vitamin-cs-historical-and-miraculous-record/
Vitamin C enemas were explained within the context of IV access unavailability, i.e. kids. In theory, you start with oral vitamin C and then move unto IV access or enemas if the disease is serious and/or oral intake is not possible due to unconsciousness or vomits.

I'm wondering if drinking apple cider with vitamin c added is an effective way to boost your vitamin c levels? I'm trying to have a vitamin c drink at work that l sip through out the day. The real thrust of this question is, does the sugar within the drink eliminate the effectiveness of the added vitamin c? I remember reading that sugars displace vitamin c uptake in the receptors. This answer would help alot, mainly because l've been adding vitamin c to different drinks for a while now.

If you want a vitamin c drink that you can drink during work you could mix it with water, add a few drops of Stevia and some lemon or orange extract as a concentrated "syrup" and then dilute it with soda water. It makes a great tasting soda.

I'm wondering if the liposomal vitamin c is some what protected by being ensconced within the fat molecule of the lecithin? Doesn't that mean the liposomal travels to the liver because of the fat, therefore carbs or sugars in the stomach are a mute point in it's digestion?

That would make sense considering that the encapsulation increases the bioavailability of the Vit-C, though I'm not sure what exactly it is being protected from.

The liver secretes the bile necessary for fat digestion into the small intestine, but it doesn't break down the fats within itself. However, vitamin c absorption is modulated by glucose, so yes carbs are definitely a bad idea to include with a dose of Vit-C.
