VITAMIN C

Boatman,
good protocol with the Vitamin C. A very very good book to read on the subject is: ASCORBATE: THE Science OF VITAMIN C by Dr Steve Hickey who has a PhD in Medical Biophysics from the University of Manchester, and his co author Hilary Roberts.

About the only side effect is diarrhea if taken in excess for your needs. Anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000mg are just fine unless you get the runs that is (the bowel tolerance test).

I know someone who was cured of Eisenmenger Syndrome from taking 24,000mg three times per day.

Hi Boatman,

Like you, I have the same issue, I get colds and flus all the time, someone sneezes on me and there I go. Like you, I have also tried everything for years and years, too many to think about, anyhow I found out about 10 years ago that I have primary immune deficiency, lack of producing adequate antibodies. Have you had your antibody panel checked? It might be an idea. So I have tried antibody therapy numerous times but I always go off and do my thing in the natural world but now I am back getting them again. However, I never ever give up my healthy lifestyle, I continue to do all and everything but if the antibodies aren't there they aren't there...not much choice.
I can tell you that if I have a cold/flu in the making or full blown that after I get the IVIG that my body kicks in and flushes it out very well within a few days. Otherwise, like you, I think the vitamin c is the most effective so when you say that I think you might have deficient antibodies as well...it's a thought and at least checking out. I typically take 2000 to 5000 mg a day. Not enough for kicking out something but enough in the scheme of daily intake.
Eating well and all that is so important but it won't clean it up completely, unlike people who have an immune system that is struggling but not deficient they can build it up really well to get their immunity and find peace. In my case that isn't true and it sounds like you might have something similar going on.
Hope this helps.

I had a 6 month virus, well doctor said it would take 6 months before it went. I was weak, like having ME i suspect.

I did the vit C thing, just bog standard ab sorbic acid , high doses every hr, and i got worse, sweating and shaking etc, and then was better, kicked the viruses ar.. out of me, lol

I think for very short periods taking high c isn't going to hurt.
