This is my feeling too. Adamantly so.

But I suspect in the US there would be a fight to get the hospital to do it as your loved one lays dying.

Already had some Harvard dude on here say he doesnt believe this Dr and wont believe it until Harvard or Mayo or some of the other bigs ones say it is so.

"Vitamin C and D are just a requirement if you live in far northern states. "

Not true. Maybe back in the days of farming and outdoor rural living, but with most of us being indoors most of the time, we simply don't get the solar exposure necessary to get the required dose.

I used to have MANY colds/year. Had blood work done and showed "low D3". Now take 5000 IU/day. No colds......

"There were a few treatments of cancer with IV after IV of vitamin C. The people actually did very well"

Seems to me Lefty Ed Asner did a made for TV movie 30+ years ago about treating a disease / malody with high doses of Vit C. that Doctors at the time scoffed at. True story of sorts.

You have to start at 1000mg a day...and add 100mg a day (spreading it over a day)...work up to bowel tolerance. ..then back off a little. That’s how much you need.

They may claim Vitamin C doesn’t help with prevention, but seeing is believing. I literally only get about 1/10 of the number of colds I used to get since I started taking Vitamin C daily along with zinc periodically several years ago. (And that was years before I found out my Vitamin D was low and started taking that too.) In fact, the only time I got the flu since then was a time I forgot to take my C for a few days in a row.

Nicotinamide Riboside would be much more effective since the immune system heavily relies on NAD+

I take liposomal Vitamin C daily and haven’t caught one cold this winter. I know this sounds like a post hoc fallacy, but I’ve caught one or two every winter before.

This time, nothing. (knocks on wood)

Vitamin C. Lots of it. Add Vitamin D3 ̀000 to 10000 units a day and L-Lysine. All have antiviral properties. D3 especially, or sunshine in the summer in the non tropical climes may just be the magic bullet for this virus. It prevents flu and colds and a massive dose can end the worst flu in 8 hours. I suspect it is effective against respiratory viruses in general. I have had no viral infection in the 14 years I have taken the D3 (I work nights and sleep days so sunshine is not a factor). In any event it at least may prevent this WuHan crap and certainly does no harm and is cheap.

Vitamins A,D,E and K are fat soluble so they stay in the body longer. Overdosing on those four is not good. The others are water soluble and can be flushed out. Daily doses are needed.

Blueberries are a good source of Vitamin K, too.

Fasting (when done safely without nutrient deficiencies present), intermittent fasting, calorie restriction, and vigorous exercise also boost NAD+, strengthening the immune system.

I went to get another bottle and saw a much cheaper Walmart brand version. When I looked at the contents it was missing one component. So I opted for Zicam because I don’t want to mess around right now.
