We have a saying in medicine about viral illnesses: “Without treatment, a viral illness will typically run its course in about 7-10 days. With treatment, a viral illness will typically run its course in about 7-10 days”.

I wonder how much vitamin D3 with K2 helps.

These studies are as corrupt as polls done by the DNC on conservative voters.

Just out of curiosity, what is the “standard care”?

If you show no/mild symptoms stay home. Standard calls for nothing to be given until you get worse.

May not fight symptoms, but may improve chances of not becoming symptomatic.

I flew cross country once sitting next to a woman pediatrician. She said that most of the sick children who come into her office need nothing but letting the body deal with the cuurent illness. BUT MOMMY’S will DEMAND she prescribe medicine. If she says they don’t need any the MOMMY’S will threaten to go elsewhere.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE!

That's why urgent care doctors are much more likely to prescribe medication, than non-urgent care doctors. Urgent care doctors depend more on, "making the customer happy."

Doctors who prescribe antibiotics when unnecessary are making it worse for all of us.

Not quite. Vitamon c is not fat soluble so it is a waste of money. There are only few fat soluble vitamins. C is not one of them

The overuse of antibodies is a real very damaging PANDEMIC.

The destruction of gut flora leads to a whole host impaired functions.

Premise of study seems flawed, they gave these treatments to persons already diagnosed as carrying the virus, while people take the vitamins and zinc to avoid catching the virus.

This study could not test the hypothesis of whether taking them helped avoid catching the virus, since everyone in the test group had the virus already.

I’m aware that vitamin C is water soluble

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4915787/

When it’s encapsulated with liposomes it’s more readily absorbed & has increased bioavailability than standard vitamin c

How does that make sense? Taking a large dose, even if half is absorbed, makes more sense than paying three times more for the liposonal brand.

Nobody has reasonably claimed that zinc by itself is a solution—particularly for patients who are already sick.

This crap is the med study version of the “fact checkers”.

I would add Pepcid AC to that list and vit D plus melatonin.

I don’t use melatonin but I do use the rest.
