Why vitamin C won't 'boost' your immune system against the coronavirus; It poses little risk but is very unlikely to help.

Vitamin D3 in a multi-vitamin along with vitamin K2 is the best defense against flu bugs.

Here’s why: if this virus doesn’t go out of control, they’ll have to think up something else to get rid of trump, and they’re on a roll right now.

Halfwit 27-year-olds giving their pre-programmed talking points. I read one of the studies "refuting" Pauling: it gave less than have the dose he recommended, starting later than he said, and continuing for a shorter duration.

Vermin.

For supplements, yes.
Otherwise, self-quarantine helps.

I read they were using intravenous Vitamin C in China with good success. Don’t have references, though I believe I’ve seen them.

I also wonder about vitamin D and A. As well as NAC.

I ordered the sublingual Vitamin C 3000mg liquid. It is now out of stock and they don’t know when it will be replenished.

All I know is that when I was in my teens, when I was diagnosed with mononucleosis and the doctor told me and my mom that I would have it for about a month, mom megadosed me with Vitamin C and garlic and within a week I was retested and had no trace of the disease in me. The doctor was absolutely flabbergasted.

Anecdotal, but it’s possible that my body reacts well to Vitamin C. These tests often fail to take into account the wide variety of reactions any particular human body has to certain chemicals.

...mom megadosed me with Vitamin C and garlic...

I can see why..................

I make sure I get plenty of sunshine when I am sick. It definitely helps me recover more quickly. When I got sick in Hawaii with the flu last year I was over it in 2 days. I was out in the sun every day (usually morning and late afternoon, so I wouldn’t need sunscreen) and even swam in the ocean. Bam, cured quickly.

I saw that vitamin C was wiped out at Walmart the other day.

I got the last one. A box of Ester C with citrus compounds. They didn’t know what they were buying or that should have been gone first.

Yes, garlic is VERY good when you’re sick! The rawer the better. I figure if I’m laid up anyway apart from people, I won’t kill people with my odor :-)

Exactaly. I have been taking 20k IU of D3 and 12k IU of k2 daily since my chemothearpy and triple bypass. Works great for me, 6 years later.😎

[9YearLurker]

They’ve done that with a lot of the D studies too. Low supplementation, then declaring it ineffective.

Garlic will kill infection bacterias...............

I should take out my homemade vitamin C I.V. drip then

I C what they are trying to do.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

But Corona is a virus.
