Well, the vitamin C may not do anything to slow the virus down, but the diarrhea might. ;)

“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”

I’m eating 2-3 chewable vitamin C tabs a day in addition to drinking a glass of tonic water.

Many brands of vitamin C are “currently unavailable” on Amazon. It does boost the immune system, along with vitamin D and zinc.

Nothing wrong with that.

It is far more useful for your health than 900 rolls of TP.

Intravenous vitamin C and oral liposomal vitamin C do not cause the digestive upset regular ascorbic acid does in high doses.

People are too darned stubborn to do it. Dr Marik has been saving sepsis patients that normally die with Vit C and something else,, don’t remember what but the info is available on internet.

Those “anecdotal” cures are not approved by the government. Are you allowed to even ask that question? Stay there - the authorities are on their way.

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

Your excellent post made me happy. It works on so many levels.

👍

I bought a stash of high potency Vitamin C last week, when I first heard about this treatment.

Fauci will say it is anecdotal and he wants to study it for the next two years.
