I Have Something To Say About Coronavirus / Covid19

Please remember to take a lot of Vitamin C.
This is one of the best cures for everything.

SW-User
I agree. 👍️ Also everyone should be taking zinc, vitamin D3, eating only healthy foods and drinking a lot of water.
@SW-User seems a lot of people are already aware of this, which would explain why I can't find supplements

Best not to take it with birth control pills containing ethinyl, mestranol and estradiol. With meds like ferrous gluconate , Coumadin, and deferasirox

Drinking alcohol makes absorption more difficult.

When you have too much vitamin C, oxalate can increase in your urine and increase your risk for kidney stones and urinary infections.

You might end up in the hospital, which is something you should avoid during the crisis.

And in some conditions like hereditary hemochromatosis, it can cause an iron overload and lead to heart, pancreatitis, lungs..etc damage.

@Miram Where did you read this?:

"Best not to take it with birth control pills containing ethinyl, mestranol and estradiol. With meds like ferrous gluconate , Coumadin, and deferasirox"

and

"too much vitamin C, oxalate can increase in your urine"

and

"And in some conditions like hereditary hemochromatosis, it can cause an iron overload and lead to heart, pancreatitis, lungs..etc damage."

@sunlight

From courses and field training, pharmacology, pathology, hematopathology, genetics. Through a lot of overlapping disciplines and research.

Couple of credible articles and studies you can access:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2507711
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2507711
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1093379

The list of interactions I provided is not full but it is accurate. You should ask your own doctor about other medications.

Nuno shows foods that will give you vitamin c. Humans cannot make it.

He did not say to consume high doses of supplements so much of the criticism here is unfair. Additionally not all supplements are any way near the same.

Stress and use of many medications will deplete vitamin c.

Please be awake and remove posts, trying to associate coronavirus pandamic with race and faith. Regards
@Reflection2 I agree. This should be against TOS

@Reflection2

That has been an annoying problem.
Reflection2 · 41-45, M
@Miram It is. The fact people in general around the world showed carelessness with social distancing. How race or faith fits in. I don't know

Vitamin D is also very helpful

@sunlightSome people do not want to know and Pharma is happy for that.

@Miram "High doses do have side effects." who has proven that?
From what I read all research was done on low doses of vit C which is the problem from what Andrew Saul is saying, because only high doses have results.

Of course people should ask for advice form someone who studied these kind of things (because regular doctors not even not much about nutrition), before taking high doses of anything.
Or do proper reaseach themselves.

If funny how people are not same as concerned about vaccines even when they are given in massive amounts (and contain aluminium linked to alzhimers, thimeresal/mercury which can bypass the brain's blood barier bringin in with it the pathogen too etc all hughly toxic), mixed with various underlying conditions or meds that people may have/take.
But lets freak out about vitamin C 😂

Vitamin C is studied over 80 years and many people, including myself, I have used it when in need with good results.

Also is highly important to use the full and natural vitamin C.
Usually they sell just ascorbic acid, but that is not the whole vitamin C(there should also be bioflavonoids and other components) and wont have the same results. The doctors to whom I listen say that syntetic vitamin C can be created even from petrolium, because all they care is having the molecular structure of ascorbic acid, doesn't matter from what they make it, and that kind of vitamin C does not treat scurvy, so you're just throwing your money and your health down the toilet.

Is like getting estrogen from plastic bottle chemicals, they are not the same hormone but attach to the same receptors.

Supplements should be plant based, raw, non-GMO, the least processed.

Take good care!
@SW-User Well Andrew Saul, from his research and experience, talks about examples of people using high doses of vitamin C successfully. Vitamin C is studied over 80 years, the problem is that many studied only low doses of vit c which don't give the same results. Which begs the question of why none studied high doses. Are they stupid or was it intentional to keep this infromation away from people?

@sunlight Ever heard of physician nutrition specialists?

They are real doctors, not alternative medicine anti-vaxer wakos 🤷‍♀️

There is plenty of research about high dosage and interactions. Why haven't you responded to the links I provided in the previous days? Did you care to read them at all?

[quote]Take care[/quote]

I doubt you're the sort of fanatic who actually stops there, seeing that you're pushing someone who is possibly an ex-patient of renal transplant to take mega-dosage that can lead to tissue damage???

This is very insane.

Some of us spend their entire lives not just reading research but being a part of it.

But somehow you sitting on your butt all day watching YOUTUBE videos makes you an expert by proxy. 🤭

You can love garden of life all you want.

You are still not in a place to give medical advice to anyone else.
This is the first new group I've seen on here since I've been on SW.

Stress burns up vitamin c. Many people are short on it.
AbbySvenz · F
Except Vitamin C overdose
Hasmita · M
@AbbySvenz Unlikely since it is water soluble and excreted. However if you are taking high dose supplements then best taken hourly rather than all in one go🙂
Wiseacre · F
@AbbySvenz can't od on c..
AbbySvenz · F
From the Mayo Clinic [quote] Although too much dietary vitamin C is unlikely to be harmful, megadoses of vitamin C supplements might cause:

Diarrhea
Nausea
Vomiting
Heartburn
Abdominal cramps
Headache
Insomnia[/quote]@Wiseacre

Wiseacre · F
