Ascorbic Acid:
This preparation is derived from corn so some corn allergic sufferers will not tolerate it.
This product is non-GMO.
Humans, guinea pigs and fruit bats are the only mammals that cannot make their own vitamin C. Scaling up from animals, humans need at least 2 grams (2,000mgs) daily and arguably much more. Vitamin C is protective against infection. Sufferers of scurvy die from infections.
Ascorbic acid is the cheapest and best form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is toxic to all microbes and is a helpful part of treatment of the upper fermenting gut. Vitamin C is poorly absorbed which, for this purpose, is ideal! Microbes are present in the upper gut in millions, and in the lower gut in trillions. The idea is to gradually increase the dose until there is mild diarrhoea, i.e. one starts to kill lower gut microbes, then reduce. This is called taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance. Taken last thing at night on an empty stomach is an efficient way to use vitamin C.
There is increasing evidence that many bowel tumours are driven by abnormal gut flora and fermenting microbes in the upper gut.
Ascorbic acid is acid, so rinse the mouth well with water after drinking.
If ascorbic acid is too acid, then swap to magnesium ascorbate which is neutral, but more expensive.
This preparation is derived from corn so some corn allergic sufferers will not tolerate it.
MANUFACTURER’s NOTE:
Although the product does not contain Gluten we do not label the product as 'Gluten Free' as we would need to guarantee the product has been kept away from Gluten at every stage of the supply chain or test the batch for Gluten content. We would expect the product to be tolerated by coeliacs.
Hemp Oil:Manufacturer: Nutiva
Per 1 tablespoon (15 ml):
Omega 6 linoleic acid - 7 g
Omega 3 linolenic acid - 2.5 g
Omega 9 - 2 g
Omega 6 gammalinoleic acid - 500 mg
Omega 3 gamma linolenic acid - 250 mg
No Hexane, Non-GMO, Non-BA, Non-hydrogenated, No trans fat
Hemp oil is an inexpensive and delicious source of omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids in an almost ideal proportion. Avoid in cooking, use ad lib in salad dressing. All oils must be served cool.
Multi Mineral Mix (MMM's):
The idea of this preparation is to provide essential minerals in decent amounts, assuming one gets nothing from the diet. The dose is one gram per 2 stone of body weight up to a maximum of 5 grams. However, once a stoneage diet is established then half this dose would be more than adequate. It also contains vitamins D and B12 because these are so often lacking in standard preparations.
All these minerals are salts and so should be taken with plenty of water - at least 1/2 pint (250ml) per gram.
MMMs can be used with sea salt or table salt as a rehydration mix for gastroenteritis or dehydration in the proportion: one litre (2 pints) of water with a half teaspoon of salt (i.e. 2 grams), 1 scoop of Multi mineral Mix (ie 1 gram) and 4 grams of ascorbic acid (2 scoops) taken ad lib. Drink at least 2-3 litres (4 or 6 pints) over the 24 hours, more if diarrhoea is severe.
Ingredients per ONE gram of MMM
- Calcium (as calcium chloride) — 60 mgs
- Magnesium (as magnesium chloride) — 70 mgs
- Potassium (as potassium chloride) — 40 mgs
- Zinc (as zinc chloride) — 6 mgs
- Iron (as ferric ammonium chloride) — 3 mgs
- Boron (as sodium borate) — 2 mgs
- Iodine (as potassium iodate) — 0.3 mg
- Copper (as copper sulphate) — 0.2 mg
- Manganese (as manganese chloride) — 0.2 mgs
- Molybdenum (as sodium molybdate) — 40 mcg
- Selenium (as sodium selenate) — 40 mcg
- Chromium (as chromium chloride) 40 mcg
- Vitamin B12 — 1,000 mcg
- Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) — 1,000iu
Contains NO other ingredients.
MANUFACTURER’s NOTE:

Calcium chloride occasionally will not dissolve very well and may resemble small, clear shards.
After manufacture the product looks a light yellow; however, due to manufacturing conditions at different times of the year it can be affected by the weather, e.g. high humidity. This can cause the product to appear 'claggy' and darken so the appearance of the B12, which is red, stands out more. This is not detrimental to the product in any way.
