Recently, a lot of patients have been asking us about the coronavirus and what they can do to prevent it (or reduce its affects) if they were to contract it. There is a lot of concern and fear associated with this virus for obvious reasons. You can’t turn on the TV, listen to the radio, or open your email without seeing something about the coronavirus.
Recently, a lot of patients have been asking us about the coronavirus and what they can do to prevent it or reduce its affects if they were to contract it. There is a lot of concern and fear associated with this virus for obvious reasons. You can’t turn on the TV, listen to the radio, or open your email without seeing something about the coronavirus.
One thing I know for certain is that you should do your best to be prepared. I suggest building up your body before you begin to feel symptoms, this is the best way to prevent any future illness like the coronavirus.
What can you do to protect yourself?
When people get infected with this virus, it’s not the virus itself that kills them, but the resulting inflammation caused by the virus. So how do you prevent this collateral damage (this inflammation) from turning into something more? Let me explain.
When the immune system attacks a virus, it’s like a small war is occurring. Debris and waste from the immune system attack, results in the accumulation of free radicals. These free radicals bounce around and cause damage to the bodies surrounding tissues. Imagine throwing rocks at the side of a car. These free radicals cause lots of micro traumas to the body (somewhat like rocks would impact your cars surface). This results in damage that leads to inflammation. The body responds to the increased free radicals by using vitamin C, one of the bodies most powerful antioxidants, to help clean up the extra “debris” (aka the free radicals/rocks).
You can prepare your body for exposure to this virus by making sure you have enough vitamin C. Studies have shown that vitamin C is effective against these types of viruses.1,2,3,4 If you get a virus and your vitamin C is low to start with, it will only go down from there. Once the infection starts you will lose even more vitamin C as the body attempts to sweep up (and remove) the free radicals that were created.
Humans cannot make their own vitamin C, and therefore we are dependent on getting the proper requirements from diet or supplementation. The older we get the less vitamin C we store in our bodies. This increases the likelihood of an elderly person getting seriously ill from the inflammation created from this infection. If the inflammation is bad enough, it will damage the cells in the lungs and cause fluid to fill into the chest, essentially drowning the individual.
With the coronavirus we see a lot of concern that it has a high fatality rate. The latest data shows that people who are 50 years old and younger are at the same risk of dying as from the normal flue. However, as we look at older groups, we can see the virus becomes more dangerous and is consistent with the common pattern of the typical flu.
It doesn’t matter if you are young or old. If you don’t have enough vitamin C when you get sick, you will increase your risk of suffering from much more tissue damage from the immune system’s inflammation. If you are too low in vitamin C, and then you get a bad virus like Corona, you can develop scurvy. Scurvy is caused from a deficiency of Vitamin C. Guess what the main cause of death for people who have scurvy? It’s pneumonia! And this is how people are dying from the coronavirus.
The coronavirus is causing people to become critically ill and die from the exact same problem that happens when people become deficient in vitamin C. Please protect yourself and your loved ones by getting a good quality source of vitamin C.

Daily maintenance dosage – Adults and children over 12 years old take 1000mg or more per day; Children under 12 should take 250-500mg per day. This can be continued daily indefinitely all year long.
Acute viral support dosage – Children under 12 should take 1500-3000mg per day;Adults and children over 12 years old should take 3000mg per day. You may increase the dosage higher than 3000mg per day as vitamin C is safe even a t10,000 or 15,000mg per day. However loose stool may develop if your dose is too high; if loose stools occur lower the dose to the highest dose you can tolerate without causing diarrhea. This high level of vitamin C can be continued for days and weeks if needed to support the body’s recovery from infection.
