This article is amazing! I use 100% vitamin C (ascorbic acid ) powder and mix in water since I'm not good at swallowing pills. It's tart but manageable! I haven't done 30 to 40 g at once yet but will certainly try it if one of my kids comes down with the flu and I feel it coming on.

That's what I did many years ago. Just mixed the powder in water and down the hatch. It's quick and easy. I'll try it again tomorrow morning.

I drink lemon juice right out of the bottle 😁

I found over 15 years ago that vitamin c was a daily must for me. I have been taking 1000mg a day and rarely get sick. If I feel something coming on, I up the dosage to 4,000 or 5,000 mg a few times a day, which usually takes care of it in a day or two. I will add that in 22 I got covid pneumonia and spent 19 days in the hospital. I refused remdesivir and ventilator. Since then, I still have some lung damage at the bottom and it seems that sinus issues have gotten worse. I will try upping the dose even more next time something tries to come on me.

Did you take NAC? It has affinity for the lungs.

I did take NAC for awhile. I didn't feel any difference really.

you saved your own life bec remd and vents in hospital and the dye contrast via IV for MRIs also killed my aunt who was perfectly fine they forced her to stay in hospital against her will . she didnt get sick until they started giving her anti virals. . She was stupid enough to get the covid shots bec family forced her. Did you get the shots? bec that or other pharma made you sick or did you just take the fake test? bec there is no virus on misdiagnosis by test. www.VirusTruth.NET

Thank you Dr. Haider, you are a kind and a bright light. My daughter, a type-1 diabetic, would experience blood sugar drops from taking Vit. C. Certainly an appealing idea for management, now that we have learned the insulin is so adulterated. ( I am not an MD and am not giving advice, just sharing my experience.)

Great article- thanks! I was very sick with mononucleosis at age 17- after feeling exhausted for a year I began to read up on nutrition and natural health remedies. Linus Paulings info about vit c as well as his previous accomplishments encouraged me to try supplementing as well as eat healthier! I believe 1-2 grams of vit c crystals taken daily mixed with water brought me back from the abyss and has kept me feel well since. I’m 59 now, active, still blessed with good health and never found without a bottle of C crystals in my purse! I’ve since added B complex, as well as many recommendations you’ve offered since covid.

Super good info! Why not liposomal C?

Dr Levy recommends Lip Vit C in his book “Curing the Incurable”. It’s what we usually use. We buy from Mercola because there are lots of choices and we trust the quality.

Dr Suzanne Humphries also recommends lip Vit C.

Thank you Dr Haider. I will keep this article for reference.

Interesting insights. I never would have thought to try high dose ORAL Vitamin C. I've done IV C, but assumed most of the benefits of oral would be lost due to improper absorption.

thank you

Thoughts:

1. My current brand of Vitamin C has magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide, so thanks for the info on a good brand to use that do not include these ingredients.

2. I have had tinnitus since 2004, so I will consider trying to see if this helps at the dosing recommended - and I have no idea how long it might take if it does work - but I want to look for any possible side effects first before dosing at these levels (keeping in mind that some of the literature is purposely gamed.)

3. Fascinating that Vitamin C and ivermectin increase good bacteria in the gut per Dr. Sabine.

4. I haven't had a cold in 3 years, but if I do, I will definitely try dosing up to the max limit.

5. If we had an actual medicine, all of these types of interventions would be thoroughly studied. Our system is choking on greed and corruption.

6. This Substack is great.

Tinnitus…. Might be reversed by drinking Fiji water

Fiji water contains silicate (silicic acid) which binds with aluminum in your brain.

Mr aluminum, details

And all his links…

Remember the ear is an extension of the brain

https://open.substack.com/pub/drchristopherexley/p/a-little-help-from-mywebsite?r=1ky86t&utm_medium=ios

Tinnitus is because loud noice caused inflammation of the brain cells that control ear, then macrophages that have absorbed aluminum are called to those brain cells by helper T cells

The macrophages die in those ear brain cells depositing their toxic alcohol cargo into the mitochondria of those ear brain cells, thus those ear brain cells can no longer convert glucose into atp. With no atp thst brain cell is like a car on the side of the road with no gasoline

Fiji water removes aluminium which is root cause, but you also have to eat less aluminum , that is you want to remove more aluminum from your body then you consume

Many coffee pots have aluminum heating elements and add aluminum to your water as 1 example. Dennis n Crouse details sources

Sources of aluminum

A short term treatment is ketones

See my above comment that mitochondria that control tinnitus are damaged by aluminium and can not make atp

But coconut oil, a ketone might be converted into atp by a damaged mitochondria.

Use carrington farms liquid organic coconut oil,

or a c8 c10 c12 MCT oil,

And start with 1 teaspoon with food at each meal, increase slowly you do not eat diarrhea.

Coconut lady dr Mary newport explains, not for ear brain cells, but for memory brain cells (Alzheimer’s)

Same concept.!!! Brain cells damaged by aluminum and mitochondria no longer produces atp.

Dr Mary Newport says ==> Coconut oil will

Give Alzheimer’s patients a reprieve from the disease

And would delay you from getting it.

https://youtu.be/Dvh3JhsrQ0w

Finally

Cocount oil only gives you 0.4 milli moles of ketones per liter of blood, and only lasts 6 hours.

Consider learning about ketogenic diet from dr Eric berg on utube.

He would also suggest vitamins that are good for nervous system…

Try the ideas, then in 3 months come back and tell me about your results

Good luck

I always thought this was bunk, but I remember a patient in hospice was using this for her cancer. I guess she wasn’t using a high enough dose . This was 20 years ago.

I take airborne close to daily since I heard a pharmacist friend recommend it. I feel like I don’t get sick that often at all. Was never diagnosed with Covid although I am vaccinated as well. I swear by it but no one listens to me either.

Thank you, for the confirmation and the extensive areas covered. I’ve been mega-dosing C since reading the research work of Linus Pauling a number of years ago (40 or so). Not always at the 10,000mg recommended in his work but 2000mg to 5000mg twice a day. So not too far astray and have only a few times that for whatever just lapsed but never more than a couple of weeks. Moreover, I've exceeded the 10,000mg always when I felt a cold coming on or had been exposed to someone who was down with a nasty bug. For the entirety of Covid 19, I took only one jab and a follow-up booster but had reservations from the beginning as it seemed too much like, for lack of a better word… Bullshit. Never wore a mask, just my C with Zinc and D. Never got as much as a runny nose. The thing that's most pronounced when I'm around my age group. Their skin is flat… Or maybe my skin is a good deal more elastic. And they do appear noticeably older. Not that Im a spring chicken but when other try to guess my age they're off by 10-20 yrs or just perhaps being gracious. The fact of the matter is that can't remember the last time because just do not seem to get sick. Besides the C I take a couple of multivitamins, Glucosamine Chondroitin, Tumeric, Acidophilus and an Asprin.

I have gout in one finger joint (even though I'm only 40+) which seems to be triggered by high carotene foods like pumpkin or carrot soup, so I avoid those, which helps a lot.

More recently I developed joint pains in hand, foot and one knee (not diagnosed; for my finger doctors only said they cannot do anything, so now I don't bother going!).

The last 2 months now I discovered vitamin C (before that I basically thought we all get enough through diet, ha!). Vitamin C _very_ reliably helps with all my joint pains, within a day. I only take 250-500mg per day so far, buffered with baking soda. My skin also feels much more silky, nice!

I'll experiment with higher dose, especially since I just caught a bad cold.

Well, this is timely. Was just discussing with my son how there must be something wrong with our genes. We can take 20gms of C and absolutely nothing happens. I've taken methylene blue as it's said to be an equivalent antioxidant but I have no way to gauge if it is working as I add vit c to it to keep my mouth from turning blue.

I shall try the 40gms at once and see if that works... I use the powdered Drs Best as it is made in Scotland. Some years ago there were zero companies in the US making ascorbic acid - not sure if that still holds true but most of supplement ingredients are sourced from abroad like our meds.

I learned about using C for viruses from a P.A., and learned how to dose myself to bowel tolerance (5 grams per hour is my limit when sick). I remember the P.A. said you have to dose high enough, frequent enough, and long enough. This came in very handy when covid first hit in March 2020, and I came home from the store where people were coughing. When my throat started getting scratchy, I took 5 grams C every hour. I went to bed, though woke up several times, taking 5 more grams C each time. Symptoms were gone when I got up the next day.

It worked again when I had Delta, but Delta replicated much faster (and now Omicron even faster) so that the hourly C got rid of the symptoms but I did not get over it until I found an online doctor who gave me ivermectin.

In the 1940's Dr. Klenner treated patients who had polio. The vitamin C even reversed the paralysis in a girl. Amazing!
