Some practical aspects of taking Vit C

Practicality is important when taking Vit C on a routine basis. So, you could take tablets or capsules, totaling about 1 gram, with each meal, and use ascorbic acid powder between meals and for taking massive doses when you feel like you're coming down with something. 

Do whatever works best for you, but you should take about a gram every 3 or 4 hours, and to take a lot in a short amount of time if you feel like you're coming down with something. I'd also take some before going somewhere, and take some tablets or capsules along to ensure that I'd have some if I couldn't get home, which is when you'd be most likely to need it in your system. 

I use a timer to remind me when to take it (it would have to be something with at least a 3.5 hour range), and a cheap little timer to let me know that 3 minutes have passed after mixing it, and that it's time to take it. If I didn't use these timers, I'd forget to take it. I leave both timers in the kitchen to force me to go in there to shut them off, so that I can't just shut off the timer, procrastinate, and forget to do what I'm supposed to do.

I realize that it's an inconvenience, but it's important to keep your levels up with such a dangerous virus in circulation, and to take a lot quickly when you feel like you need it. Trust the science - if you feel something coming on, take a lot of ascorbic acid in the form of powder mixed 2/1 with baking soda in just enough water to allow them to react at a high rate, to neutralize the acid quickly. (Also use warm water to speed up the reaction.) Don't delay - hit it hard and fast, as if your life depends on it, because it might.

Fortunately, it won't be long before a vaccine is available. If the medical establishment would recognize the value of Vit C, we wouldn't need vaccinations because if we developed a severe case, we could get IV sodium ascorbate to cure the disease, and our immune systems would recognize the virus from then on. Obviously, those who develop relatively mild symptoms would also develop antibodies. Interestingly, Vit C isn't mentioned on TV in the context of the anti-vaccination movement, although they recommend its use. My concern about vaccinations is the possibility of being given a "custom" vaccination instead of the standard version.
