| Seasickness
In the Nov issue of Yachting World magazine I noticed a rather interesting 'letter to the editor'
C for seasickness
Sir, I read with interest but also some amazement the great report on seasickness (Yachting World, October). The illness which in fact is not an illness, is caused by histamine produced by the brain when disturbed by 'illogical' movement.
Histamine production can be cut by high doses of Vitamin C; one has to take three, four, or even five grams when feeling the onset of seasickness. Recovery comes immediately.
The link between seasickness, vomiting, and histamine was discovered by German Professor Dr Jarisch.
My wife, who suffered severely on every sailing trip, tried out our remedy on our last trip in Croatia. She took three grams. Shortly after drinking the Vitamin C cocktail she felt great.
