1,000 mg. of C. I have a couple boxes myself.
My mother was recently in the hospital for flu and then pneumonia (viral and bacterial). Yeah, she nearly died. She had no sleep to speak of for over 2 west, and wasn’t eating due to stomach upset. I asked the doc about an IV drip of vitamins, and the fucker nearly laughed at me. Refused to give it, and when the weekend passes I basically demanded it as her medical POA. He said he would and then gave her amino acids and electrolytes. When I found out, I fired his ass - and let the new doc know. She got several “banana bags” (because they are yellow) over the next few days and (not surprisingly) that’s when she stopped getting worse and began to improve.
Docs get little instruction in nutrition, so you have to be all over their ass about it. It cannot hurt, so I don’t understand why so many of them are against it.
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.
