This is outrageous.
I will tell you what someone posted on the Virus thread.
Someone who had it said Mucinex DM saved her life.
You might try it.
And I will chime in...try Lipsomal C. It can’t hurt and there are some studies in China trying to figure out if C helps.
Good Luck
A perfect example why we should not go in public when sick and should shelter in place. Of course, it sounds as if this person got sick before we knew much. Meanwhile, it is true that the Chinese are testing high dosage intravenous Vitamin C. and there may be efforts to prevent us from hearing about it. My military son says that Google took some You-Tube videos regarding the Chinese testing off the “air.” At any rate, here is the link.

“Participants in the experimental group will receive 24 grams of IV vitamin C per day for 7 days. That’s more than 260 times the Daily Value (DV) for vitamin C for adults and children age 4 years old and up, which is 90 mg per day.
“In a series of YouTube videos released within the last two weeks, Richard Cheng MD, PhD, Chinese Edition Editor of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service states there are at least three clinical trials in China studying the effects of high-dose IV vitamin C for the treatment of COVID-19. He mentions the Shanghai Medical Association has released an expert consensus statement on the comprehensive treatment of COVID-19 where they endorse the use of high-dose IV vitamin C for the illness.”
THey are also considering testing for oral high dose C. and say that C is anti-inflammatory. Probably different from medical anti-inflammatory substances which might be a problem.
If you use too much C you get burning urine or acid farts, and then need to reduce the amount you take.
I have used as much as 24 grams spread out over 24 hours for a bad flu without getting the above symptoms. I once helped a woman at a MASH tent who was swollen and choking after 3 yellow jacket stings. It was a large camping scene. She had forgotten her bee sting kit. I immediately crushed 10 grams (10,000 mg.) C in a glass of water and had her drink it. In 20 minutes her swelling was down, and her eyes and throat were open. I spent a total of 8 hours with her giving 5 grams every hour. That was 50 grams over 8 hours. She had NO urine or gas symptoms. She felt better and wanted to sleep, so I left her with a small bottle of C tablets. I heard she walked out 3 miles the next day. Some US doctors have used 100 grams intravenous or more per day for snake bite, black widow, and deadly type viruses.
Your body excretes excess Vitamin C in 5 or 6 hours. So taking 3 or 4 times a day is good. Animals our size make 2 to 4 grams of C a day when NOT under stress. I have used 3 to 6 grams a day for over 45 years depending on my allergies. I am now a healthy 81 year old. If you do use very large doses of C, you should taper down the amount over several days as it apparently destroys a body chemical that needs several days to regenerate. Big Pharma will not make money if this is a good treatment. Good luck and avoid crowds.
