I posted to you a few weeks ago about my experience (the conjunctivis/illness). The day that I woke up & couldn't breathe (or stay conscious for that matter), I took 5000 mg of Vit C (actually Emergen-C which also contains Zinc & Alka selzer ingredients. The next day the breathlessness was gone; continued taking 3-4000 mg for a few days after. Not sure that it means anything...but putting it out there.
thanks...I wondered about the Alka seltzer part her treatment.
