The Simple Cure for Coronavirus: COVID-19 - 03/13/20 12:52 PM

The cure: Vitamin C in large dosages

Doctors have found that vitamin C is more effective even than a vaccine, if taken in high doses. Because it is acidic, the stomach can tolerate only a certain amount at a time, but if one gets sick with a virus, taking up to 2000 mg. of vitamin C every fifteen minutes WITH WATER, will kill the virus. For more serious cases, IV (intravenous) vitamin C can be given in higher dosages, but for most people, just taking some vitamin C, along with water, every few minutes throughout the waking day, will be enough, for example, take 500 mg. every five minutes. The idea is to trickle it in through the stomach, a little at a time, throughout the day.

I had a similar experience when I was in college. At that time, the Texas A Virus spread among many of the students at my university. (This was before the internet era had fully developed, and one will be hard-pressed to find any information about this particular virus online now.) One of my good friends got it. He was unable to attend classes for a week. Then I got it. I took my temperature, then I called him and asked him how high his temperature had been. Mine was the same. Other symptoms were the same. I asked him what the doctor had given him. Then I called my doctor. My doctor told me that instead of those other medications that the local doctor had prescribed (which included an antibiotic that would be ineffective against a virus), it would be better for me to take 500 mg. of vitamin C every fifteen minutes, with water, as long as I was awake. This was nearly 25 years ago--and now the recommended dosage is higher. I followed my doctor's advice. That day I took over 10,000 mg. of vitamin C, and made frequent trips to the toilet as the water also cleaned out my body. By the end of the day, the fever was gone, the runny nose was gone, and I felt much better--only tired. That was a Sunday. The next morning, on Monday, I chose not to attend my classes because I still felt tired. I just needed a day to rest. On Tuesday, I was back in classes. So I missed one day of class, whereas my friend, taking prescription medications, had missed a whole week.

If I were to get this new illness, I would follow this same regimen, except for increasing the dosages. I am not afraid of the virus. I don't think it would last more than about three days with me. In fact, I think I may already have gotten it, as I had a very severe cold during the Christmas/New Year break, the worst of which lasted about a week. There were times I could taste blood I was coughing so hard. Unfortunately, as I was traveling and away from home, I had only limited supplies of vitamin C with me at the time, but those did help. I think if I had been able to take 500 mg. every five minutes, the cough could have been cured much faster. The part that really worried me, and made me feel like I was dying, was the breathing difficulty. There were times I could not inhale, as if something caught in my throat. I had never experienced this before. It may have been my own vocal folds, or a mistakenly triggered swallow reflex, but it would constrict my throat so that I could not take a breath. It seemed to happen at random times. It may have been a separate condition unrelated to the flu, but once I was well, this symptom went away.

Some people think that so-called mega-dosing on Vitamin C is dangerous. It isn't, so long as adequate amounts of water are taken with it. As a water-soluble vitamin, any extra gets flushed out of the body. What most people don't realize is that many animals make their own vitamin C. Humans do not, so for us it is an essential vitamin. Goats, for example, make an average of about 13,000 mg. of vitamin C every day. There are documented cases of a goat making about 27,000 mg. of vitamin C in a single day. If it were dangerous for us to have that amount--why is the goat safe with it?

High-dose vitamin C is considered the best treatment option for viruses in general, the coronavirus included. High doses of vitamin D3 come in as the next best option. In any case, I will certainly not be first in line for a vaccine when it emerges.

For those interested in some scientific studies and/or news/documentation to back this up, consider the following links:

https://www.wakingtimes.com/2020/03...min-c-treatment-of-covid-19-coronavirus/

Here's a portion of that article, in case it vanishes, but this portion does not include the many links to further documentation--so check out the article itself for a more first-hand source of information.

Quote
(OMNS Mar 1, 2020) First of all, the naysayers are too late. Vitamin C is already being used to prevent and treat COVID-19 in China and in Korea. And it is working.

Here is a verified official statement from China?s Xi?an Jiaotong University Second Hospital:

?On the afternoon of February 20, 2020, another 4 patients with severe coronavirus pneumonia recovered from the C10 West Ward of Tongji Hospital. In the past 8 patients have been discharged from hospital. . . [H]igh-dose vitamin C achieved good results in clinical applications. We believe that for patients with severe neonatal pneumonia, and for critically ill patients, vitamin C treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after admission. Numerous studies have shown that the dose of vitamin C has a lot to do with the effect of treatment. High-dose vitamin C can not only improve antiviral levels, but more importantly, can prevent and treat acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress (ARDS).?

Here is a report from Korea:

?At my hospital in Daegu, South Korea, all inpatients and all staff members have been using vitamin C orally since last week. Some people this week had a mild fever, headaches and coughs, and those who had symptoms got 30,000 mg intravenous vitamin C. Some people got better after about two days, and most had symptoms go away after one injection.? (Hyoungjoo Shin, M.D.)

There are at least three high-dose intravenous vitamin C studies underway in China. Literally by the truckload, tons of vitamin C has been sent into Wuhan.

Here is a report from a physician in China:

?We need to broadcast a message worldwide very quickly: Vitamin C (small or large dose) does no harm to people and is the one of the few, if not the only, agent that has a chance to prevent us from getting, and can treat, COVID-19 infection. When can we, medical doctors and scientists, put patients? lives first?? (Richard Z. Cheng, MD, PhD, International Vitamin C China Epidemic Medical Support Team Leader)

News media attacks on vitamin C are centered on false allegations of dangers with megadoses. This tactic lets the media ignore the truth that even LOW doses of vitamin C reduce symptoms and death rates. Do not let the media spin this issue. Advocates of vitamin C are medical doctors, not spin doctors. They are experienced, credentialed clinicians who have read the science, a small sample of which follows:

Even small supplemental amounts of vitamin C can keep severely ill patients from dying.
[Hunt C et al. Int J Vitam Nutr Res 1994;64:212-19.]

Infants with viral pneumonia treated with vitamin C had reduced mortality.
[Ren Shiguang et al. Hebei Medicine 1978,4:1-3]

Moderate doses of vitamin C shortened ICU stay by 97% in a subgroup of 1,766 patients
[Hemil? H, Chalker E. Nutrients. 2019 Mar 27;11:4.]

200 mg of vitamin C reduced duration of severe pneumonia in children. Oxygen saturation was improved in less than one day.
[Khan IM et al. J Rawalpindi Med Coll (JRMC); 2014;18(1):55-57]

The Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, and its editorial board of nearly four dozen physicians, academics and health professionals (listed below) feel it is necessary to report on what the advertiser-supported, corporate-controlled commercial media refuses to acknowledge: even small amounts of vitamin C dramatically decrease severity of symptoms, and increase survival rates, among severely ill viral patients. Large doses work better. Intravenous large doses work better still.


Here's another great link to similar information:

http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n16.shtml

And, according to this article...

http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n13.shtml

...China had 50 tons of vitamin C shipped in to Wuhan to help deal with the coronavirus, something the mainstream media--which is closely linked to and supported by the pharmaceutical industry--has not reported. Wuhan is passed the crisis point already now, and the vitamin C should take its due credit.

God bless,

Is this any particular brand of Vitamin C, or is any brand OK?

Re: The Simple Cure for Coronavirus: COVID-19 - 03/14/20 01:49 AM

Most any brand should be fine, but get the purest form possible, i.e. skip the orange-flavored, sugared-up chewables. Vitamin C crystals (powder) may be available in a more bulk form at your local heath food store. Puritan's Pride markets some of this which weighs in at 5000 mg. per teaspoon. The crystals can easily be mixed in with some fruit juice, or even in just plain water (makes it nice and sour). It's basically pure ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).

Green Cochoa,

What you describe that you had over Christmas almost certainly is not covid-19, but is a coronavirus that causes what is called the respiratory syncytial virus, which can cause the vocal cords to slam shut, blocking your ability to breath in air. It is especially dangerous to babies, but can sometimes be dangerous to adults as well. And you can get it again as the immunity to it does not last.

Vitamin C in such high doses as 30,000 mg given by the IV route is potentially deadly in some people. It can block the placement of sugar receptors on the surface of cell, which in turn can cause the body to change to burning fat, which in turn can lead to high ketone production and that then causes acidosis, which you can die from. Most are not at risk from it, but if a person has insulin resistance, then this can happen and they can die from the treatment. In such a case, it would be better to reduce the dose, which may not cure the covid-19, but it should reduce the severity of it to a tolerable level and one that won't kill you, at least, this can be done for most who have this problem. And the treatment won't kill you either.

China is testing a number of things to see what works. The covid-19 virus use the same receptor to get into the cells as the SARs virus, so whatever works on SARs should work on the covid-19 virus.

I'm no expert regarding what I had at Christmas. My doctor recommended selenium as a treatment for possible Hashimoto's disease, which would have been entirely unrelated to the virus, and merely a coincidence that they occurred simultaneously. I don't know. I did go to the hospital and had a camera inserted to my throat, which saw nothing--but by that time, thinking I was in a serious way, and feeling near to death, I had gone on a total fast from solid foods for two days, and so I almost chalked it up to having healed by then. After the doctor's visit, I ate at a local vegetarian restaurant, and that evening once more experienced the constriction. But it seemed to gradually lessen afterwards, and I haven't had any issues for awhile now.

Relative to the 30,000 mg. killing someone--I totally disagree with that. Someone is trying to badmouth natural medicine in favor of conventional drugs, methinks. I've seen firsthand what vitamin C IV can do for someone, and in much higher doses. I know what it did for someone suffering from snakebite who took a 50,000 mg. IV of vitamin C and found that it was at least four times as effective as the $5,000 dose of antivenin had been. He got a second dose of 50,000 mg. of Vitamin C the next day, and the swelling and pain were almost completely gone by then, whereas before the vitamin C IVs his arm had been completely swollen and purple, not to mention in great pain.

Naturally, if you have some special medical condition, anything is possible. For example, a G6PD patient could be harmed by an excessive dose of vitamin C because their genetic condition leaves their blood cells less protected. On the other hand, G6PD is rather uncommon, and a child with it could die from eating a bowl of Lima beans--but I don't think anyone here would say we should never recommend eating Lima beans.

Nor do I agree that ketosis is especially dangerous. When fasting, everyone experiences it. But fasting is recommended in the Bible. If you are a diabetic, and cannot safely fast, then know your own body and limit yourself accordingly. But because some people might die from eating a peanut does not mean we should ban peanuts for everyone.

When I was in Taiwan, I came across an interesting one: A woman was selling green vegetables in the market. Because those vegetables were nearly sold out, and knowing that the aged lady would have to sit there until they were, the vegetables were bought--largely to help the lady, since they were not at first recognized. Once home, I looked at them and realized they were nightshade leaves. Shocked, knowing that they are poisonous, I went to the internet to figure out how in the world anyone would eat them. I discovered that certain genetics can tolerate the solanine in the leaves which is pure poison to most of us. Evidently, those living in Taiwan know if they are able to eat them or not.

Again, if a goat can make 27,000 milligrams of vitamin C in one day, I don't think 30,000 milligrams would prove fatal to the average person. In fact, I believe it would be very beneficial to 99% of those who try it. If you know you can't handle it, don't go against your doctor's orders. But I'd be careful of believing just any doctor these days.

God bless,

Green Cochoa.

The best thing to fight Covid-19 is to build up the immune system.
A good immune system will fight off the virus.

A separate website confirms this, as copied below.

Quote
Chinese e-commerce giant, JD has reported that sales of vitamin C dietary supplements on its platform were up five-fold, after the announcement of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Sales of health products including vitamin C effervescent tablets, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) brand Banlangen, and Xiao Chaihu (herbal formula) saw big increases.

These supplements are used to help prevent fever, cold, and other respiratory symptoms. JD said the virus outbreak was the cause of the surge consumption, and its higher online sales was attributed to consumers preferring to order delivery online instead of going to supermarket to purchase products.

Suppliers receive strong demand

As retailers like JD saw a spike in sales of vitamin C and immunity products, suppliers of these products also saw higher demand.

One such example is DSM, a manufacturer of vitamin C which operates a production facility in Jiangshan, China.

Dr Jiang Weiming, DSM China's president and group vice president told NutraIngredients-Asia: "Demand has been robust as Vitamin C plays an important role as immune system booster. A strong immune system is not only an important defence line to prevent infection, but also the key to controlling disease development and restoring health after infection."

The Jiangshan site has a Vitamin C production capacity of approximately 25 kilotons. The products are for both domestic market as well as exported globally.

While many firms shut down operations during the extended Chinese New Year break combined with the coronavirus outbreak, Dr Jiang said DSM?s operations were fully operational during this period.

The firm also has a vitamin C manufacturing facility in Scotland. "Our Scotland plant has been producing regularly with high-level output and has (also) received strong demand for our Vitamin C products," said Dr Jiang.

Early in February, DSM shipped 50 tons of its Vitamin C from its Jiangshan plant to Hubei, to help fight the outbreak.

Clinical trial

On the topic of vitamin C and its effect on immunity, China is conducting clinical trials to investigate the effect of vitamin C on affected patients with COVID-19.

The Chinese Clinical Trial Registry records two such interventional clinical trials. The trials will be conducted by The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University and Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University.

The former will recruit 56 patients and investigate clinical efficacy and safety of high-dose Vitamin C in the treatment of severe and critical patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. The study will last one year, from February 18, 2020 to February 28, 2021.

The latter will recruit 30 patients and evaluate the efficacy and safety of diammonium glycyrrhizinate (150mg) enteric-coated capsules combined with vitamin C tablets (500mg) in patients with COVID-19 infection. The trial is planned to run three months from February 12 to May 12, 2020.

Good find. One might nearly wonder if he had read my posts here. Ha!

I've known something of the effectiveness of vitamin C for decades already. It's good to see such ideas getting a little more press.

Dr. F., though, is probably a J..... who has an agenda beyond the claims he puts forward.

"Vitamin C and N acetylcysteine

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a precursor of reduced glutathione that has the ability to quench hydroperoxides.

Anything that interferes with the virus, whether blocking, or inhibiting it especially in the cells, seems to be helping delay its spread so the body immune system reacts and fights the virus.

Benefits and cautions in Vit C supplements
Posted By: Green Cochoa

Re: The Simple Cure for Coronavirus: COVID-19 - 05/02/20 01:01 PM

jackson,

That guy is ignoring some additional factors and is even off on some of his mathematical logic. For example, just because the body will fully absorb 200 mg. of vitamin C taken per day does not make that the ultimate level for dosage. The body has feedback mechanisms in place to help put everything in balance, and it is a little bit, perhaps, like charging a capacitor: if you have a completely empty capacitor, it will take the full amperage of the electrical current charging it. Once it is half full, it will draw much less amperage--does this mean that the capacitor is "too full" already? Hardly. It simply takes it longer to top up the last half than it did the first half. The same principle applies to a battery. If you charge your battery without a modern "smart" charger, from having been completely dead, it will charge quickly at first--as it hungrily soaks up the amperage. As it fills, it is less hungry. Should you, then, unplug the charger as soon as you notice that it is not taking so much current? Of course not.

When the vitamin C dosage was increased to around 1300 mg. per day, according to the video, the body accepted 46% of it. That means that the body accepted over 500 mg., which puts 200 mg. as only 40% of what the body felt it could use when given more. The body is complicated. The math is more nuanced than the video would suggest. The gentleman appears not to have thought things through carefully.

Vitamin C has other reasons, too, why it may be especially helpful, given in high dosages, for fighting cancer, viruses, or other diseases. The acidity of the vitamin changes the chemistry of the blood, which has a similar effect on the immune response and/or the viability of the disease as spiking a fever might have. This effect has little to do with the vitamin C itself, and more to do with the oxidative and pH factors of the blood. A doctor once explained this to me, but I have forgotten the details, so there may be a clearer description of this you might find.

I still think that the fact a goat regularly makes 13,000 mg. of vitamin C every day (in its liver), which can go up to 27,000 if the goat is a little stressed, and case reports have indicated as much as 100,000 mg. in a single day for an extra-stressed goat, tells us that vitamin C is not nearly so much to be feared, even in so-called mega-doses, as many seem to think. Unfortunately, humans don't make vitamin C like many (most?/all?--I don't know) other mammals do.

Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
 
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Acts 28:5-6 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. (6) However, they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

APL,
Do you think Paul would have been spared if he had been bitten while presumpuously playing with the snake?


Quote
Many have expected that God would keep them from sickness merely because they have asked Him to do so. But God did not regard their prayers, because their faith was not made perfect by works. God will not work a miracle to keep those from sickness who have no care for themselves, but are continually violating the laws of health and make no efforts to prevent disease. When we do all we can on our part to have health, then may we expect that the blessed results will follow, and we can ask God in faith to bless our efforts for the preservation of health. He will then answer our prayer, if His name can be glorified thereby. But let all understand that they have a work to do. God will not work in a miraculous manner to preserve the health of persons who are taking a sure course to make themselves sick, by their careless inattention to the laws of health.

jackson, I agree. I would also point out that none of the following have anything to do with the laws of heath:

1) Face masks
2) Social distancing
3) Sanitizing hand gel
4) Quarantine
5) Absence from church assembly

We have become like sheep without a shepherd--and the shepherds have done worse than merely abandoning the sheep. They have locked the church doors so that the sheep could not even assemble amongst themselves shepherdless!

Face masks hide the Christian's smile, which is both a privilege and a duty to lift the spirits of those around. Social distancing runs contrary to the words of the angel: "Press together. Press together." Hand gel, while seeming to many to be a good idea, isn't. When alcohol or antibiotics are frequently placed on the skin, it kills all of the natural bacteria and makes room for fungal infection to take its place. Quarantining is not a law of health; it is a law of sickness. And sick people should be as welcome at church as anyone--perhaps more so, as the brethren can then become acquainted with their needs and minister to them. The elders of the church can pray for their healing.

We serve the God of Psalm 23 and 91. We serve the God of peace, and not of fear. We need not be afraid of the pandemic--we are told, instead, to be afraid of the fear!

"The Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. . . . Bind up the testimony, seal the law among My disciples. . . . To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:11-20. {7T 153.2}

Green Cochoa,
I agree wholeheartedly with your statement:
Quote

However, we have inspired cousel that we should obey the laws and customs of our society as long as they do not conflict with the Law of God - as uncomfortable and illogical as they may appear at times.

Quote
When Principle Is Not Violated, Follow Custom?When the practices of the people do not come in conflict with the law of God, you may conform to them. If the workers fail to do this, they will not only hinder their own work, but they will place stumbling blocks in the way of those for whom they labor and hinder them from accepting the truth.?The Review and Herald, April 6, 1911. { 2MCP 560.1 }

Great care should be exercised not to arouse bitterness or unnecessary prejudice, that would cut us off from influencing those for whom we labor. We are warned against making harsh or denunciatory statements regarding opponents of truth, or against rulers and statesmen; and we are advised ?to conform in all things to the laws of the state,? even to the extent of waiving some of our rights, ?when we can do so without conflicting with the law of God.? { RH March 9, 1911, par. 3

There should be no just occasion to our enemies to charge us with being lawless and defying the laws through any imprudence of our own. [See Testimonies for the Church 9:232-238,

?Sunday Labor.?] We should not feel it enjoined upon us to irritate our neighbors who idolize Sunday by making determined efforts to bring labor on that day before them purposely to exhibit an independence.... { 3SM 395.2}


The one sticky point is the prohibition of assemblies greater than 10 people- as is the "law" here in Oregon. This does infringe on our constitutional right of freedom of assembly and right to worship together

Our church has decided that we will use Zoom for our Sabbath School classes and church meetings. We also has a television station connected with our church so our Sabbath services are live streammed .on the internet.

We conduct the Sabbath service with10 or less people, including the camera man, and we make sure that those on camera stay 6 feet apart from each other. If two or more are singing together they stand apart , as well.r. It is all rather silly . but it lets us have a "virtual" church without violating the" laws" of the state.

Jackson,

Just here is where you and I may disagree. I believe that by closing our churches we ARE violating the law of God. This is the time to obey God rather than man. God's Word says we are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). Now, if God's word had said that we should not forsake the assembling of SOME of ourselves together, you would be correct in your less-than-ten-person assemblies. But it doesn't. That word "some" is not there.

The online "communion" service was about the most ridiculous thing I've heard of in a long, long time. I am alone in my house, having no church to attend, and no family nor friend present with me. Am I to wash my own feet? Bake my own bread? Bless it all myself? Break it myself? Pass it out to myself?

Most worldly people who drink do not drink alone. There is no joy in doing so. Communion service, without "communion," is what?

Ridiculous.

And it's against Jesus' command to His disciples--incidentally, of whom were 12 present at that time, enough to break the ten-person rule.

When we worship together, it is altogether different from private devotions in some very fundamental ways. Some enjoy listening to recorded ("canned") music. I don't know of anyone who similarly listens to recorded prayers. Do you? It just wouldn't be the same, would it? And yet our music, Ellen White says, is as prayer to God. When we pray collectively, gathered together in one place, we sense a different spirit and power to it than when we are alone.

"Greet the brethren with an holy kiss." So much for the six-foot rule.

Not one of the world's principles for dealing with the current situation aligns to God's principles. Not one. They all seem diametrically opposed to Christian living and to the work which we must do as Christians. There is, of course, a reason for this--and it is the very reason we must be awake and sensitive to our duty in these troublous times.

We might have to move this particular discussion to its own topic, but it is certainly an important one.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

But it is sure nice to have a building to go to on Sabbath morning, where people can gather together in Christ's name.

What building did Christ go to? The early Christians? Where was the Lord's Supper first held? What are house churches?

APL -- the problem isn't building or no building.
The problem is ordering people NOT TO GATHER TOGETHER, PERIOD

You can't even gather together in your house or in the park.
Why are laws ordering people NOT to Gather together for worship.

Why even those who stayed in their cars and met together in a "drive in" service had problems with law,

Selfish. You didn't gather with me. You left me alone, isolated, without family or friend, and therefore having no quorum with God as you seem to think you have.

I'm less certain you have it either. Jesus said a man and his wife were "one flesh." One isn't two.

Originally Posted by Holy Bible
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Genesis 2:24)

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (Matthew 19:4-6)


You and your spouse are not two anymore. Just one. According to Jesus.

APL, we are sanctifed by the truth, not by what we choose to believe. if one waits for Heaven to find the truth, he will find no entrance there

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. John 17:19

The truth and the glory of God are inseparable; it is impossible for us, with the Bible within our reach, to honor God by erroneous opinions. Many claim that it matters not what one believes, if his life is only right. But the life is molded by the faith. If light and truth is within our reach, and we neglect to improve the privilege of hearing and seeing it, we virtually reject it; we are choosing darkness rather than light

We need to know the truth about God. Many don't know the truth. Many have Erroneous options about Him. do you?

As for the Corona virus, please tell the truth. Can you? i don't want darkness, and neither do you.
