Well, below is the protocol for starting a regimen of high dose vitamin c.
If you just want to dose for a little boost when sick, take 2g a few times a day for a few days. It may not be the optimal amount for your body but it will certainly help.
Anyway, here's the source and some info I grabbed from it.
http://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/high-dose-vitamin-c-protocol-for-cancer/
The USRDA for Vitamin C is only 75 mg. That’s MILLIGRAMS. A normal healthy person can absorb and use between 4,000-15,000 milligrams per day. So the USRDA is way off on this one. 75 mg is basically what someone decided is the absolute minimum amount to keep you from getting scurvy. This is not an amount that promotes health and optimal body function.
High Dose Oral Vitamin C Therapy is taking the maximum dose your body can tolerate before you get the runs. This requires finding your threshold and then backing off a little bit for your daily dose.
The simple way to find your tolerance is to take 2-3 grams of Vitamin C powder or crystals (ascorbic acid) every two hours mixed in 8 oz of water. That will give you about 12-18 grams the first day. Make sure you keep track of your doses.
The goal is to find your 24 hour limit, not your single dose limit.2 -
Tea with lemon and then straight, brown liquor of your choice, followed by something cooked in butter.
Then more tea with lime and then the straight, clear liquor of your choice, followed by, well, liquor.
You should be pretty comfortable by that point!
This is an excellent plan, Dr. Lott.

When it was hot I ate it straight from pot with a towel on my chest to keep from getting burned. On keto now, can't have noodles.
You can use zucchini noodles instead of regular noodles. If you use carrots in your recipe normally, just use less carrots or only use them for making the stock, they aren't so keto friendly. Here's a great low carb recipe: http://genaw.com/lowcarb/lc_chicken_noodle_soup.html (Lindas low carb site is one of my favs!)
Beware of Nyquil and any other liquid medicine as those got me during my flu - they are loaded with sugar. Halls and Ricola both make sugar free cough drops. Get well soon!0 -
Funny thing... Either it was allergies or just a small cold. Just a few sniffles. Hate the way I sound when talking. Like a goose. Thanks for al the tips.0
