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.
I can see why..................
it certainly won’t hurt to try it if God forbid you get a flu- if it doesn’t work- oh well- no big loss- if it does- Yay- Try to Vit D hammer too- see my post above for that info- it certainly won’t hurt anything- and may just knock a flu or cold on it’s butt-
One source suggested 6 grams a day as optimum. The C acted in a synergistic fashion with thiamine supplementation.
