First it was vitamin D, now it’s vitamin C. Make up your mind!

[Scarpetta]

Right. 1000 mg. taken twice a day is my plan.

You definitely have to be your own and loved ones’ health advocate. So many physicians are smug and dismissive, especially male doctors. I’m liking female doctors more and more.

Glad you fought for your mom and she got better.

Please, don’t we have enough hoarders.

Yard sales this Fall are gonna be real interesting. All TP, hand sanitizer and vitamins I reckon.

The regimen is based on experimental treatments administered to people with the coronavirus in Shanghai, China, Weber said.

Shouldn't the media be condemning this and the governor of Nevada be banning it? This all based on anecdotal evidence after all.

I did read years ago about a guy who died from drinking carrot juice (vitamin A).
Seems he drank so much that he got cirrhosis of the liver and died.

[faucetman]

WHY? I heard/read that vitamin C does NOTHING for COVID-19.

Can’t hurt, won’t help.

Vitamin C, another thing the ChiComs have cornered the production of.

[combat_boots]

Because the ChiComs are our...….frens, right?

Do the ChiComs pollute/weaken the vit C they export, a la
“The Third Man”?

If DJT doesn’t mention it, then he’s “KILLING PEOPLE BY BEING SO STUPID HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON!”

he can’t win, so he just keeps on pushing through.

drs finally thinking outside the box....maybe the one good thing this covid will do is bring back free thinking and innovation....

Good sources of vit c, aside from those we ordinarily think of are tea made from white pine needles and rose hip tea. Both these can be scavanged if you live in an area where they grow. Other types of pine are toxic tho! You can download apps to identify trees.

Roses are known by all I hope. Hips are the fruit ball formed at the end of the stem below the flower/sepals. Hips on bushes may not be widely available this time of year but I know a few places where they've gone wild and last year's hips may be still hanging on the bushes. Not sure of the C content in an overwintered hip but the flavor would have the tart flavor if C is present. Plus, pretty sure teas with rose hips are still plentiful.

Also look for teas with hibiscus as a top ingredient. Very high in C as well. Many peppers also have a high vit C content. A quick online search would give info on the content in specific peppers. I overwinter pepper trees and harvest year round.

check out Wneighbor post upthread # 73 iirc

A quick review on Liposomal Vitamin C. The type of C taken is important.

I search for more technical articles if requested.

1st question...

Is the … 1,500 milligrams … accurate information ?
( i thought previous 2 wks ago were saying much higher..??!)

[matthew fuller]

Quali-C is from Scotland.

It’s 1,500 milligrams 3-4 times a day.
Not sure of the purpose of that much. I was taught that the body could only absorbed 250 mg at a time and the rest was excreted in urine.
250mg tabs are hard to find. I have been chewing 500mg Vit C twice a day for the past 2 wks.
For many years, I’ve chewed one or 2 a day every time I feel the 1st signs of a sore throat or cold symptoms. It’s worked for me.

[9YearLurker]

Interesting. Thanks.

[9YearLurker]

Interesting, thanks. Clicking through further on their site I see they synthesize their C from corn (granted, Euro, non-GMO). As if we don’t have enough corn here!

[dennisw]

Exactly! For maximum effect take a little bit of C throughout the day. And in my book this way of taking C is the best defense for anyone worried about the corona virus.
