Seriously sick coronavirus patients in New York state’s largest hospital system are being given massive doses of vitamin C — based on promising reports that it’s helped people in hard-hit China, The Post has learned.
Dr. Andrew G. Weber, a pulmonologist and critical-care specialist affiliated with two Northwell Health facilities on Long Island, said his intensive-care patients with the coronavirus immediately receive 1,500 milligrams of intravenous vitamin C.
Identical amounts of the powerful antioxidant are then readministered three or four times a day, he said.
Each dose is more than 16 times the National Institutes of Health’s daily recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C, which is just 90 milligrams for adult men and 75 milligrams for adult women.
The regimen is based on experimental treatments administered to people with the coronavirus in Shanghai, China, Weber said.

“It helps a tremendous amount, but it is not highlighted because it’s not a sexy drug.”
A spokesman for Northwell — which operates 23 hospitals, including Lenox Hill Hospital on Manhattan’s Upper East Side — said vitamin C was being “widely used” as a coronavirus treatment throughout the system, but noted that medication protocols varied from patient to patient.
“As the clinician decides,” spokesman Jason Molinet said.
About 700 patients are being treated for coronavirus across the hospital network, Molinet said, but it’s unclear how many are getting the vitamin C treatment.

NYC must ban this highly inappropriate, unstudied, approach to treat COVID.
I agree with the mayor of New York City—we can’t let anyone out of a NYC hospital alive.

This just in: the FDA has outlawed the direct sale to the general public any product containing vitamin C.

Yeah, a sarcasm tag is missing. You are going to scare folks who don’t know how to read sarcasm.
There is a guy who posts here who ran an ER that refuses to believe Vitamin C can help with Sepsis until Harvard or Mayo does a study on it.
I guess his viewpoint will be the same on this use

To which she responded, without missing a beat, "I'm a retired nutritionist and there is more than ample data if you know where to look!"
Exactly. And someone might DIE from it, and then will have to blame POTUS for some reason.
Oh Airborne has been gone for some time as has Coldeeze and Nature Maid’s Vitamin C with Zinc

The fitness person who was hooked up to those tubes and had a hard time breathing didnt have red eyes if I remember right.
