This is so funny because of how long a chain of telephone it is. The starting point is that grapefruit juice SPECIFICALLY can interact negatively with several mental health medications (notably, not amphetamines). Then this tumblr post* and MULTIPLE NEWS ARTICLES got popular, stating that consuming anything acidic (including vitamin C) within an hour of taking your ADHD meds would render them ineffective. In reality, a large dose of vitamin C taken directly with an amphetamine-based ADHD medication has the potential to cause a minor dampening effect, but has no effect on other ADHD meds. 

These presumably got filtered/combined into the idea that vitamin C is bad to take with ANY mental health meds, which then got turned into the idea that if you have mental health problems, scurvy may be right for you!

no actually i think v*tamin c is very bad for me and i will continue to abstain from it

shopping carts are pathetic little herd animals and when you don’t bring them back to their corrals after they’re done helping you they scream and cry and wail because they’re alone and scared and exposed to predators. you have the power to prevent this

Poe’s Law is so real man. I genuinely can’t tell if this is satire or not

Ahoy matey! Welcome ablog! You've found yourself on a real, genuine scurvy-haver's blog! I've been generally nutrient deficient since the early-mid 2010s (starting easy with iron, then onto calcium, then v*tamin D) and over the years worked my way up to an official scurvy diagnosis in 2021! I don't know if I'll ever be able to commit myself to a v*tamin B deficiency since I love monster energy drinks so much, but I might manage v*tamin A eventually!

Fact #1

Scurvy was the deadliest killer on the seas and was the result of vitamin C deficiency. Because of this, bodies could no longer maintain connective tissue. The effects of scurvy include: bleeding from the gums, gums turning black and spongy, teeth falling out, bruises forming beneath the skin, and old scars/old broken bones becoming unhealed and opening up again. Pirates, however, generally did not suffer as horribly from scurvy because they rarely went on long journeys across the ocean. They usually had a home base somewhere nearby, would go out and capture ships, and then come back home.
