What about Vita C?

[Guest guest]

What about plain old vitamin C?

 

It's hardly discussed anymore but still an effective means to treat

viruses or bacterial infections.

I have had runny nose and its full spectrum of

complications ever since my childhood (now I am

65)e.g., hay fever, sinus, cough with yellow sputum,

wheezing, insomnia, acute attacks of bronchitis. Past

two days I am on a special experiment using ascorbic

acid and soda bicarbonate. I will wait for one more

day before drawing my conclusion. That will mean three

days in a row of data collection in terms of frequency

of my sneezes.
