I am not sure where I insulted you.

How about this ? Are you a field Vole ?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...y-quarter.html Excessive Vitamin C (or E) could reduce Vole life expectantcy by 25 %

WebMD lists a bunch of vitamins and supplements here and The results of studies on their effectiveness. No sign of vitamin C. Vitamin D seems effective. But excess vitamin D intake can have serious issues.

I searched and could find no good research regarding using excessive vitamin C to help psoriasis (except from the vitamin C foundation website).

How about the science behind vitamin C absorption ?

Quote:
Oral vitamin C produces tissue and plasma concentrations that the body tightly controls. Approximately 70%–90% of vitamin C is absorbed at moderate intakes of 30–180 mg/day. However, at doses above 1 g/day, absorption falls to less than 50% and absorbed, unmetabolized ascorbic acid is excreted in the urine [4]. Results from pharmacokinetic studies indicate that oral doses of 1.25 g/day ascorbic acid produce mean peak plasma vitamin C concentrations of 135 micromol/L, which are about two times higher than those produced by consuming 200–300 mg/day ascorbic acid from vitamin C-rich foods [10]. Pharmacokinetic modeling predicts that even doses as high as 3 g ascorbic acid taken every 4 hours would produce peak plasma concentrations of only 220 micromol/L [10].
Essentially the majority you are taking is being excreted via urine.

Finally. My wife suffers from Psoriasis and really struggled with it until she was prescribed this http://www.clobex.com/ . it seems extremely effective for her and others we have talked to.
