Now we have SARS-CoV-2
The Chinese have released statements that IV Vitamin C is helping those who have COVID 19 ARDS. It is also recommended that people keep their Vitamin C levels up at this time to help your body fight of SARS-CoV-2
There was some information published a few years ago showing Vitamin C was not all that helpful for viruses and then the info that Vitamin D was super helpful. China is recommending IV Vitamin C for COVID 19. Vitamin C is an antiviral. The IV route is very effective while oral is less helpful.
IV Vitamin C can shorten the stay in the ICU which will help save health care dollars and resources and make more room for the 20% that are getting very ill from SARS-2. Most people get very mild symptoms and some have none. Those with no symptoms are one of the reasons the virus spreads so easily.
Vitamin C Can Shorten the Length of Stay in the ICU: A Meta-Analysis
The first time I saw just IV Vitamin C in high doses used was in the 1990s by Dr. John Kennedy, a nephrologist in Tacoma Washington. Lots of banana bags or IVs filled with vitamins were beginning to be used back then.
Vitamin C does not work as well taken by oral route but by IV is much more effective. I take both Vitamin C and vitamin D3 daily due to my immune system problems.
"On the afternoon of February 20, 2020, another 4 patients with severe new coronaviral 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 critically ill patients, vitamin C treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after admission. . .[E]arly application of large doses of vitamin C can have a strong antioxidant effect, reduce inflammatory responses, and improve endothelial function. . . Numerous studies have shown that the dose of vitamin C has a lot to do with the effect of treatment. . . [H]gh-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)."
Vitamin C and Immune Function
The most vulnerable people in our country to viruses are those staying in homeless shelters with the crowding, the poor hygiene of some, the filth and the places people go during the day such as libraries where viruses are exchanged in many ways. The homeless are also compromised by lack of sleep, poor nutrition, constant trauma including by police, predatory sociopaths in the shelters and shelter staff. I highly recommend using resources to supply each homeless person with vitamin C and Vitamin D3 previous to and during this possible COVID 19 pandemic. Anything that can be done to increase nutrition and sleep for the homeless population will be very beneficial. Both of these supplements are relatively cheap and could be ordered in bulk to help lower costs. I also recommend this for nursing homes and others who have a high risk of exposure due to crowding or depressed immune systems. Children are not as a whole getting very ill with this virus but will certainly bring it home and give it to adults who could become very ill from it...or not.
A subset of the homeless population are disabled, some take medications that depress their immune systems or have illnesses that cause this, then due to a country that apparently wants large numbers of disabled, elderly and mentally ill people to die they are placed in horrific conditions and psychologically tortured which further depresses their immune systems. Rather than using gas to kill people in the homeless concentration camps horrible conditions are employed. The deaths are slower but generally 20 years are taken off the life of a person who is homeless for a long period of time.
I tried to get the Interfaith Sanctuary to increase hand washing years ago and as per usual was bullied and gangstalked. I even found a free source of hand washing signs. Nothing happened which is SOP. But the city of Boise, the state and Ada County had plenty of resources for gangstalking me while traveling to and from Continuum of Care meetings.
The day shelter, Corpus Christi which is known as the non-profit that does care deeply about the homeless has a huge problem, if they use paper towels people will flush them and their pipes will be plugged, it will also increase their operating expenses even without the pipe problems. They use Dyson hand blowers unless something has recently changed which spread germs on anyone and anything in the bathroom. All blowers do but Dyson blowers are the worst. They are not allowed in health care facilities. I don't know what the solution is for the day shelter as they can't use paper towels. Maybe something has changed I do not know about. All public bathrooms are high risk for transmission of viruses.
Using a Dyson hand dryer is like setting off a viral bomb in a bathroom
I'm homeless but live in a car which provides social isolation for my immune system problems. I nearly died the first year I was staying at the Interfaith Sanctuary as men would just come up and put their hands on me, they allow women in the dorm to hang their clothing on my bunk, many did not bathe or wash their hands, women intentionally kept coming and putting their hands on the bunk assigned to me, some intentionally coughed and sneezed on me (people do this at libraries as well.)
There was almost no supervision but plenty of time to harass me, you know kind of like a lot of other things in Boise.When I went for health care I was medically bullied. They try to force all homeless into the Terry Reilly system. I went there and things were odd, then I was misdiagnosed within 5 minutes with totally false DXs, Twice I've tried to have them removed from my record and gotten no response. I was very ill and went to an ER. What I needed was an Albuterol inhaler to survive. They refused to write a prescription because I was to be funneled to Terry Reilly. I had Medicare insurance at the time. This abuse began at the front desk so it was likely gangstalking and that particular health care system has participated in other gangstalking activities. Fortunately the other system does is not abusive to targets and provides high quality health care and their providers are professional.
Imagine being very ill and rather than health care you get abuse which of course will further depress your immune system. When I worked as a nurse I could never have imagined anyone would be allowed to do this to a person seeking health care. All health care workers can make mistakes but to intentionally seek to harm a patient should result in consequences.
I wrote this in 2016 after leaving Alaska about my fight to try and prevent an outbreak like this one which was as far as I am concerned intentionally caused because who the hell would allow these kinds of conditions. This is what goes on in homeless shelters all over the country.
