If so, Dr Damien Downing in the latest post from Orthomolecular.org thinks you should be feeding yourself, and/or your children, Vitamin C. Plenty of it. And ideally combined with Vitamin D3, magnesium and zinc.
This is because orthomolecular medicine believes that if you feed the body the nutrients that it needs it will not get ill. ‘Orthomolecular medicine describes the practice of preventing and treating disease by providing the body with optimal amounts of substances which are natural to the body.’ Based on the works of two time Nobel Prize laureate and molecular biologist Dr Linus Pauling, orthomolecular medicine advocates the use of high doses of Vitamin C, along with other vitamins/minerals, to combat all viral and bacterial infections – including COVID and, maybe of more relevance at this precise moment, flu and Strep A.
Given that the worst that can happen if you take more Vitamin C than your body needs is loose stools, maybe there would be no harm in trying.
