    Appears I was not specific enough.
    I take the vitamin C mega-dose only once. No need for dysentery; that weakens you when you need it.
    Like in the petri dish, it only takes one "dusting" to kill off the virus, so it is in your body.
    Rare occasions, with a particularly tenacious flu virus - I follow it up with a second mega dose.
    I take a maintenance dose of vitamin C of 1000 mg. daily all winter as a preventative measure.
     
    Justrucking2 and Oldironfan Thank this.

    2000 mg vitamin C and 1000mg lysine daily. Don’t get sick. I may get a mild sore throat and sniffles for a day or two. -But that’s it. For a couple years now. Yes, you read dosage correct. 200mg is daily allowance! My cholesterol has dropped from 220-240 to 180. Been high for many years. Just what I do anyway.

    You must be a Linus Pauling fan also.

    I was sceptic at first.- My numbers don’t lie. Privistatin for years and it kept stable at 220. The lysine and c dropped it. Also I was always sickly :( Not any more.

    Yes; good for you, Short Fuse!
    Just read that article; all good stuff and some benefits I was unaware of!
    Thank you for posting that!

    Went all way to end and saw "underwritten by a Grant from Bayer."
    That burst my bubble; no fan of Bayer, look into that horror story.
     
    Oldironfan Thanks this.
