Vitamin C | Benefits and important information.
|
Vitamin C empowers the immune system and can directly denature many viruses.
There has never been a documented situation in which, a sufficiently high dose of vitamin C has been unable to neutralize or kill any virus against which it has been tested. This approach has been used for decades as a way of treating everything from the common cold to influenza pandemics.

How Does Vatamin C Fight Infections?
Cliff notes from the following study. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29099763
- Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient, deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections.
- It is a potent antioxidant and a cofactor for a family of biosynthetic and gene regulatory enzymes.
- Supports epithelial barrier function against pathogens and offers protection against environmental oxidative stress.
- Contributes to immune defence by supporting both the innate and adaptive immune system.
- Enhance differentiation and proliferation of B- and T-cells, likely due to its gene regulating effects.
- Accumulates in phagocytic cells and can enhance generation of reactive oxygen species and ultimately kills microbes.
- Clearing spent neutrophils from sites of infection by macrophages decreasing necrosis and potential tissue damage.
- Infections significantly impact on vitamin C levels due to enhanced inflammation and metabolic requirements. Furthermore, supplementation with vitamin C appears to be able to both prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections.
- Prophylactic prevention of infection requires dietary vitamin C intakes that provide at least adequate, if not saturation of blood plasma levels (i.e., 100-200 mg/day), which optimize cell and tissue levels. In contrast, treatment of established infections requires significantly higher (gram) doses of the vitamin to compensate for the increased inflammatory response and metabolic demand.
How Much Vatimin C Do I Need?
A supply of 300-400g per person will be more than enough for the coming 3 months.
Normally, only a small amount of Vitamin C is required to saturate the blood (200 - 500 mg per day).
As your body uses up the supplies dissolved in the blood, more Vitamin C will pass from the digestive tract into the blood stream and right now we want to keep the blood levels as high as possible. There is an upper limit where the body simply can not or will not take up any more vitamin C from the digestive tract, if you hit this limit you will induce diarrhoea.
If you are very sick you will find that your body will use Vitamin C as fast as you can take it.
The exact dosage rate is dependent on how sick you are, the worse the problem is the more Vitamin C is required a the more your body can tolerate.
The idea is to keep the levels of available Vitamin C as high as possible without needing to use up all that toilet paper...

Can I Take Too Much Vitamin C ?
You cannot Over-Dose on Vitamin C.
Our bodies do not store Vitamin C, they simply use what is required and then excrete the rest. When you hit the maximum intake that your body can tolerate (blood saturation level) taking more oral doses induces diarrhoea. If this happens stop taking vitamin C for 12 hours and then restart at a lower dose. Reducing the intake by 30 - 40 % should allow you to continue with the treatment program.
This does not mean you should take enough to induce diarrhoea, that happens when taking far too much Vitamin C.
From personal experience taking a dose of 3000 mg per day induced diarrhoea (while not showing signs of infection).
Don't get paranoid and start taking 3, 4 or 5000 mg doses just because.....
It is a waste of time, money and precious material that you will need later. Once your supplies are gone you will not be able to replace them. There is now a major shortage of essential life saving materials like Vitamin C, share your spare's with other.

Which Vitamin C Is Best & When Should I Use Them?
Vitamin C comes in various forms, they will all work but some forms are easier on the body than others and some are for general daily use while other are for emergencies. It is important to use the right things in the right way.
- Ascorbic acid | What you find in the drug store.
General / daily use as a preventative and for mild to serious symptoms.
High doses over a prolonged period can and will result in stomach upset and excessive toilet paper consumption.
Very high oral doses are needed to over come the limited absorption capabilities of your body and other co-factors.
Other vitamins and minerals are needed to go with all that vitamin C, this information will be available soon.
Treating a serious case with oral vitamin C alone, is like trying to push a Melon through a letter box.
Its possible, but it just not going through there without making a mess.
- Intravenous Vitamin C (Hospital use only.)
This is the best way of achieving high levels of vitamin C in the blood, but it can only be administered by a professional. The reason that the case fatality rate in china has fallen, is due to the hospitals administering intravenous vitamin C.
Like wise, the total rate of infection is down due to the entire population being on a low but steady dose of oral vitamin C. - Liposomal Vitamin C | A halfway house.
This orally taken form of vitamin C is encapsulated in a way as to negate or bye pass some absorption cofactors.
As a result you can achieve much higher blood levels and it can be self administered, it is also easier on the stomach.
This hard to find material is in short supply but it can and will save lives in your area very soon.
If you have a stock of Liposomal vitamin C only use it when absolutely needed.
NOT FOR DAILY INTAKE UNESS YOU HAVE A PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITION THAT REQUIRES ITS USE.
CoVID-19 | Vitamin C, how to proceed.
Take vitamin C on a regular daily bases.
Begin with a small and moderate dose and then increase your intake as required.
Begin with a small and moderate dose and then increase your intake as required.
- Maintenance & Prevention dose | 500 - 1000 mg/day (1g) either in one dose or in small amounts taken over the day.
- Treating a fairly sick person | Increase their intake up to a maximum of 3 - 4000 mg / 3 - 4 g per day.
Give this high amount in several rounds over the day, not in one go. - Extreme Situations | Increase the dose to a maximum of 10,000 mg 10g per day or until inducing diarrhoea.
When giving 10,000 mg or 10g over the day, how much are you giving per hour?
Divide 10,000 by number of hours you are awake, (assuming 10 hours)
10,000 / 10 = 1000 mg per hour. - LIFE & DEATH | If you are giving someone who is extremely ill 10g a day, and they are not getting better.
Switch to Liposomal vitamin C and seek immediate medical assistance, assuming you have not done so already.

Three Intravenous Vitamin C Research Studies Approved For Treating CoVID-19

In one study showed that just 200 mg/day vitamin C was given to the elderly patients with respiratory problems resulting in 80% fewer deaths in the vitamin C group. Physicians from the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service review board, recommend at least 3,000 milligrams (or more) of vitamin C daily, in divided doses when treating a CoV or N1H1 type infection.
Dr. Robert Cathcart advocated treating influenza with up to 150,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily, “often intravenously.” You and I can, to some extent, simulate a 24-hour IV of vitamin C by taking it by mouth very, very often. When I had pneumonia, it took 2,000 mg of vitamin C every six minutes, by the clock, to get me to saturation. My oral daily dose was over 100,000 mg. Fever, cough and other symptoms were reduced in hours; complete recovery took just a few days.
Dr. Cathcart writes:
"The sicker a person was, the more ascorbic acid they would tolerate orally without it causing diarrhoea. In a person with an otherwise normal GI tract when they were well, would tolerate 5 to 15 grams of ascorbic acid orally in divided doses without diarrhoea. With a mild cold 30 to 60 grams; with a bad cold, 100 grams; with a flu, 150 grams; and with mononucleosis, viral pneumonia, etc. 200 grams or more of ascorbic acid would be tolerated orally without diarrhoea. The process of finding what dose will cause diarrhoea and will eliminate the acute symptoms, I call titrating to bowel tolerance
