I don't care.
I take Liposomal C at the first sign of illness. I don't take it daily because it is way to nasty for me to deal with..almost puke every time I do it.
I drink a 12oz glass of OJ every morning. I do get sick, but not often, and am usually over a cold fairly quickly.
Vitamin D vs vitamin C
Vitamin C and D are just a requirement if you live in far northern states. That and a “SAD” light.
I have a lot of experience with this one. I have been taking 2000 mg a day for 5 years or more and then 1500 mg for about 15 years before that. It doesn’t prevent colds or sinus issues but it definitely reduces the severity.
The headline is misleading. Just taking Vitamin C is not going to beat a cold much less coronavirus but again it will reduce severity.
Also Vitamin D is another to take upon getting any cold symptoms. I take 5000 mg a day anyway and when sick I’ll double it.
There were a few treatments of cancer with IV after IV of vitamin C.
The people actually did very well.
I double dose Vitamin C for a couple days....and the sniffles disappear.
Vitamin C may help, but it’s global warming that will save us all.
Folks, it’s simple.
Ever notice viral infections get going during the months where there is not as much sun? Why is this? Your vitamin D blood levels crash, taking your immune system down.
D,C,E and the build immunity with Elderberry.
It works.
Thanks for posting. Yeah, I heard massive doses intravenously can do many wonderful things. I dunno. I’m not a doc and didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
HEALTH/LIFE BUMP! Take care. It goes by fast.
Just don’t take it all at once by mouth. The digestive system can’t process too much at one time.
Single super large doses (~5,000 mg or so) need to be taken IV, I believe. ‘Miracle’ cures of terminal sepsis have been reported anecdotally after super- or mega- doses of Vit. C taken intravenously
Yes, I know there are health care professionals hear that poo poo the idea of Vitamin C helping with sepsis.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not this doctor/hospital. Also, the vitamin C HAS to be used in conjunction with steroids - two separate biological tests proved that vitamin C and steroids were effective against sepsis — but only when used together.
BTW, Vitamin C, antibiotics, antidepressants, birth control pills, blood pressure medicines, cancer drugs, among many others are made in China and sold in the United States. Book: China Rx by Rosemary Gibson.

Vitamin C is good..so is Tumeric..just dont take too much Vitamin C it can mess up the liver..actually taking too much of anything can mess up the liver
I eat a cabbage salad almost every day + take a higher dose of Vitamin C. Did not stave off the thing I had last week, but the THING was not respiratory.
Sat outside yesterday and today and soaked up some Vitamin D.
Check out zinc and Vitamin C. Good immune system is good for you.
Megadoses of intravenous vitamin C is the ideal - the referenced study in the linked article was from JAMA last October. Its title was “Effect of Vitamin C Infusion on Organ Failure and Biomarkers of Inflammation and Vascular Injury in Patients With Sepsis and Severe Acute Respiratory Failure: The CITRIS-ALI Randomized Clinical Trial” (JAMA [JAMA] 2019 Oct 01; Vol. 322 (13), pp. 1261-1270.). DOI: 10.1001/jama.2019.11825.
The double-blind study’s scope was limited and wasn’t intended to examine the mortality differences. But what it showed is enough to warrant serious notice. It’s unfortunate it was a one-time treatment of 96 hours and wasn’t continued for several weeks.
I urge everyone to watch the YouTube video of the lead researcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3_aYNT1KNA
This is a BIG deal. Given that COVID-19 kills by ARDS, anything that combats ARDS, especially in the early stages should be encouraged. and megadoses of intravenous Vitamin C does precisely that.
I’ve just reordered acerola cherry power (one of the best sources of natural vitamin C) from Nuts.com (5-lb bag) - I blame my month-long flu earlier this year on not using this product after I ran out a while back. While oral vitamin C is nowhere near comparable to intravenous, I’m hoping I can saturate my blood to such an extent that COVID-19 won’t debilitate or kill me if I become infected.
I’ve been looking into this.
The vitamin C that’s now all made in China?
