As far as I’ve got (reason 14 but unfortunately have to go out) this is a really excellent piece with loads of really useful links and well worth the 20 mins read time!

There’s a link to ‘Plandemic 2’ in this testimony, which is also well worth seeing. The whole thing - this piece - is excellent. Thanks for finding and posting R! Notice how his experience of having covid mirrors mine - except he suffered a small fraction more from minor flu symptoms whilst I didn’t because - presumably - he doesn’t know about the vitamin C panacea. I suffered less even than him because of it, despite being nearly twice his age; but it did go on for three days rather than two, so perhaps he won on points!

I had about 4 days of mild symptoms last year - dry cough (on 1st day only) a higher than normal temp, I’d say about 100 or a bit more and my eyes felt weird all the time (although not weird enough to test them by driving around in the car!). I’ve had far worse. I remembered your tip about the vitamin C - (And thanks a bunch for that Rhis!) and upped the dose from 2g per day to around 8g spread throughout the day. I reckon it really helped a lot - it certainly felt like it did. I’d bought a kilo of the powder a few months earlier and mixed a gram at a time in a glass of water. Woke up one morning and the symptoms had vanished.
Then the tiredness started. I’d get up at around 7.30am feeling fine but would suddenly feel really tired by midday or 1pm. I’d crash out for a couple of hours and feel fine again but by 9-10pm I’d be knackered again. This went on for 5 weeks and I’d sort of got used to it. Then it suddenly disappeared and never came back.
Thanks for the Pandemic 2 nudge an’all - I watched the first 10 mins some time ago and parked it on my watch-list and forgot about it - will find time in the next few days for sure.
O/T – while I’m here did you catch Dmitry Orlov’s recent piece on the Ukraine? His solution for the Donbass flashpoint is brilliant. Long and well worth the time and the money IMO.
Putin’s Ukrainian Judo (Paywall):
Yep, already got Dmitry’s piece, because I’m on his subscriber mailing list. Also linked here at 5F today to an unpaywalled copy on Saker. I presume both he and Andrei think that the issue is urgent and important enough to let it out from the paywall, a few days after it was first mailed out.
Interesting report on what happened with your bout with covid. I would really recommend going much higher in dose - by mouth - if you’re trying to integrate a particularly potent exosome message (aka virus) into you immune library. I always recommend ten times the daily prophylactic and dietary-supplement dose of two-to-three grams a day, in slow-release form: 30 - sic! - grams a day, stirred into water and sipped in divided doses every little while, round the clock.
You can trust C to be benign, it seems: an essential supplement to our diet, since hom-sap’s internal C-making mechanism is broken because of a genetic fault; and also a potent, wide-acting helper against all manifestations of infective sickness. As I keep harping on, it has no record at all of bad effects, even in very large doses, much larger than we would ever take normally, even when damping down symptomatic distress.
Hi Rhis
I know you mean well with this and it has been useful for you but Vitamin C is not harmless for everyone…
PROVIDED you do not have undiagnosed haemochromatosis, a relatively common genetic blood disorder which causes the body to absorb too much iron from food - and Vitamin C dramatically increases the body’s capacity to absorb iron from food so even 1g/day in people with haemachromatosis can result in skyrocketing blood iron levels which can rapidly become dangerous.
The disease is generally silent as the symptoms are non-specific (fatigue etc - or nothing) often until it gets to quite an advanced stage. In families without a history of someone being diagnosed so they know to test for it (like my husband’s family), the first indication that something is wrong can be when the person starts to experience severe symptoms such as liver damage. People taking huge doses of Vitamin C without knowing they have haemachromatosis could result in a rapid progression to organ damage.
It is caused by two different mutations and the iron overload occurs in between 1:50 and 1:200 people depending on your genetic make up.
Anyway - just thought I’d pop this in here as I’ve seen you recommending taking very high doses of Vitamin C before and in our family, taking even small doses of Vitamin C continually (and large doses even for a short time) could have extremely serious consequences

Thanks for this. First time I’ve heard of any contraindication about C. I’ll look into it, and pass it along to Andrew Saul at 'Doctoryourself.com, if it seems substantive. Never had any trouble myself after many years of regular use. But - well, it could be so.
No worries. If you don’t have haemachromatosis it is probably not an issue but it most definitely is if you do have that condition. It is a well established nutritional fact that Vitamin C increases iron absorption so if you are already absorbing too much iron due to a genetic disorder, taking Vitamin C will exacerbate it. We have seen the effects personally through blood tests showing suddenly increased iron loads after taking a daily multivitamin containing only 1g Vitamin C for a few months when that was the only thing that had changed (ie no other dietary change etc). Normal dietary Vitamin C obviously contributes to iron absorption but adding a supplement makes an immediate and obvious difference, particularly at the dosages you have recommended. Here is a Healthline article that specifically recommends avoiding Vitamin C supplements for those with haemachromatosis.

Thanks again, J. Clearly a caveat to be added: get tested for haemachromatosis before choosing C therapy. I’ll include this warning in future. Seems that I’m not susceptible myself, having been using substantial-dose C therapy for decades with no noticeable ill effects, but vital good effects. Just as well all refinements of treatment are pulled together, though.

Very good crib sheet to pass on to the straight narrative subscribers; thanks. .

Hay fever has been very predominant over the last few years, at least in my neck of the woods (the plants chucking out all this pollen at the moment might have something to do with the solar minimum; but I’m not going to get into all that).
Hay fever can make you very ill.
Just a thought.
