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 re-administered three or four times a day, he said.

If there was any orange juice left on store shelves, it’s gone now. At least OJ won’t kill you. Oh, wait . . . .

The sound of stores being rapidly emptied of Vitamin C and anything remotely close to it.

So, Linus Pauling was right after all!

thanks for that

from the article:

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

"The vitamin C is administered in addition to such medicines as the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, the antibiotic azithromycin, various biologics and blood thinners, Weber said"

If these are administered together, how would they know which\isn't working?

that right there is Hillaryeous.

Vitamin C therapy. ...it’s been around a long time. Saturate your cells. ..it can’t hurt.

Vitamin C Overdose. Side effects from too much vitamin C are very rare. This is because the body cannot store the vitamin. Studies have shown, however, that vitamin C amounts greater than 2,000 mg/day can lead to nausea and diarrhea.

Vitamin C has been used successfully to treat rhino virus, h1n1, hep c, hep a and rabies. It will work here as well if administered correctly.

Next up: doctors hoarding high-potency vitamin C for personal and family use only.

Vitamin C probably made in China

That’s why my uncle’s rarely got sick after they turned 50. They ALWAYS have a 5 fruit blender for dinner.

[newzjunkey]

They don’t. They are throwing things at the wall to see if anything sticks.

You’re not kidding.

I went to a big box store Monday and the shelves were wiped clean of OJ.

Anything that might have Vitamin C was gone.

What a crock, written by some executive at Pfizer, probably.
I’ve taken up to 10 -15 g daily for a cold and had NO issues.

Honey can you stop by the store and pick up some toilet paper and vitamin c?

Said 100K times tomorrow.

[Steve Van Doorn]

Day one of the panic. about 2000 people where in line for toilet paper and water. The Vitamin C bottles had one other bottle missing from the shelf when I picked it up.

Intravenous vitamin C. Sodium ascorbate and water. Very high dose, like 100g:
