In the frantic dash to discover an effective treatment for the novel coronavirus, Dr. Mehmet Oz reveals that one possible thing that can help is vitamin C.
Chinese medical teams are now adding vitamin C to their list of potential therapies in several clinical trials. ZhiYong Peng, MD, of the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, is conducting a stage 2 clinical trial to test the effectiveness of vitamin C infusions for the treatment of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) associated with the COVID-19 virus, according to MedicineNet.
Their trial data reveals that if you are deficient in this essential, water soluble vitamin, you are at an increased risk of contracting a more severe case of influenza. In addition, there are several other clinical trials in China testing the efficacy of vitamin C therapy on COVID-19. The Shanghai Medical Association recently released a report that their experts endorse the use of high-dose IV vitamin C for the treatment of COVID-19.
Data published in the U.S. Library of Medicine shows that the powerful antioxidant properties of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, helps prevent the destruction of the alveolar capillaries in the lungs and helps control the severity of the disease that can progress to potentially deadly pneumonia. In a recent trial, 85% of the 252 people treated with vitamin C experienced a reduction in symptoms.

Myself being a non medical Hi school flunky has always know a virus does not like an acidic environment or host, aka me. So I have stayed loaded up on mass quantities of C for about 50 years
Liposomal C is on my protocol list to take at the first sign of anything. HOwever, all Liposomal C is not the same.
Dont care if people say it doesnt work.
Dont care if Harvard hasnt done a study that concludes it helps with Sepsis as Dr Marik claims.
I am going to use it
So you never got the flu or cold for that time, 50 years?
We always do C in my house in some form.. Oranges and the pill. Love oranges...
thanks
I’m in at 3(Bell Peppers), 4 (Strawberries) an 7 (Broccoli)
Mehmet is the Turkish form of "Mohammed" and I've always thought that dude was about half gay.
This a good article, particularly because they actually list the recommended dosages. A lot of articles don’t do that. From the article:
Vitamin C: 3,000 milligrams in divided doses
Vitamin D3: 2,000 International Units daily
Magnesium: 400 milligrams daily
Zinc: 20 milligrams daily
Selenium: 100 micrograms daily
L8R.
I never trusted Dr. Oz. To me, he’s 10% physician and 90% carnival barker. But this article is good anyway. It’s not his ramblings, but actual information from other doctors, doctors who aren’t pushing some book.
Nothing yhat took me out of service
Thanks Jim, I just took some Airborne again
Selenium,zinc and C have been know to be Virile fighters
Go read an Air Born label
For those of you who can’t take Vit. C, try Ester-C. It won’t bother your stomach. I’ve been taking it for years.

I second Liposomal C’s value in this fight! Take some Zinc along with it...
