Normally I don't even bother to get involved in these "snake oil" arguments. But I told you once already what I think of vitamin C.
Some 40 years ago they were hawking it to cure the common cold and flu..... it failed failed..because the promises and the research was BS
Ten years or so after that they started with the high dose therapies for everything from the flu to cancer and they have been doing it ever since.
Interest continues to be difficult to come by so they have to continually mine the population for new suckers, and you want to know why? Because it's does nothing for those who need something to be done and they continue with the same promises and the same inferences that it's a wonder drug and now they do it as a add on treatment to other drugs which we do know has effect. Might as well claim that saline is a wonder drug and you will still get good results the way they do the research.. All you do with that stuff is pee it right back out and for anyone who's kidneys or liver have been abused by other necessary FDA approved therapy's, it can actually do more harm. The drugs we have been using in this country from anti-biotic's to cancer therapies, to over the counter pain and other OTC meds are all taxing the renal systems of the people who take them, including me. Some are necessary as no other options are available but at 10$ per pound it does not make them more effective or less dangerous.
I would not touch C with a ten foot pole, nor Tylenol, Zocor, or anything that I did not absolutely need that day. It's all snake oil, as far as I am concerned. Take with caution, and that "well tolerated" BS is just that....Bull Shite.. For pain I still use aspirin...It works.. but like anything you have use as necessary and not as a habit. However it is about 10 bucks a pound as well. Like anything else that you eat too much of it will hurt you.
I would never megadose any foreign substance. Nor should you or anyone unless it was the last resort.
Cold
I’m not forcing you to do anything in fact it doesn’t matter at all what you do or don’t do.
What counts is real doctors in real hospitals are now doing this routinely and without the adverse effects.
Which is what the article says if you were to actually read it
