How-to: Mega-Dose Vitamin C for Infection

Posted September 24, 2007, by peter

Any time I feel I'm coming down with a viral or bacterial infection, one of the first things I do is start taking mega doses of Vitamin C. This always seems to mitigate my symptoms.

Ingredients:

  • pure ascorbic acid cystals (not Vitamin C buffered with anything)
  • a teaspoon
  • clean, pure water

Steps:

  1. Start this protocol at the earliest possible onset of symptoms
  2. Dissolve one teaspoon of asorbic acid cystals (should contain 4g or 5g of ascorbic acid depending on your source) in a glass of pure water and drink it down
  3. Wait 1 hour and repeat step 2
  4. Stop steps 2 and 3 for the day when you feel your belly starting to "bubble". This is the ascorbic acid loosening your bowels. Taking more ascorbic acid at this point would push you over into diarrhea.
  5. The next morning, repeat steps 2-4.
  6. Stop the protocol when symptoms are gone.

@anne: We give our toddler liquid Vitamin C purchased from Whole Foods. Give her hundreds of milligrams at a time. Seems to work well enough. She definitely wouldn't take the ascorbic acid with water.

Any suggestions on how you could modify this for children? Their throats are tickling but I don't want to over-dose them!

to drLove: Sounds reasonable drLove. But what if you end up taking 50g on a really sick day. If you're taking it in a buffered form, might not that end up putting too much of the buffering substances in you?

4 -5 G of vitamin C in my opinion is too high to take in a non-buffered form. It's hard on the digestive tract, mucous membranes, teeth enamel and can cause canker sores. I would recommend to add baking soda to it or bite the bullet and spend some money on a good quality buffered form with many different kinds of minerals.
