Re: Vit C? - yes - 25 years without a flu.

"researchers must get a partial lobotomy before they can receive grant money to perform a study"

I would not refute that!!!

Thanks for the post - I was also enraged by this "study", especiallty the 80% reduction in doseage that they used.

I sent angry e-mails to some of the news stations that ran the story, and told them that 200mg was not enough. No replies, lol.

Personally, I take from 2 grams a day, and up to 10 or 15 grams [15,000mgs] a day, not every day tho, just as I feel I need it.

I have not had a cold or flu for at least 20 years, maybe 25 now [I am 50yrs].

When I started Vit C in about 1980, it was because I was having so many colds and flu ordeals, and they were getting really nasty too. None since starting Vit c!!

I heard Woody Allen say "when gettting a cold, take one gram of Vit C an hour until you feel better" - which was not a joke, I found out, when I looked into what Linus Pauling was recommending. So I tried it, and that was the first helpfull thing I had found for a flu or cold.
