With the constant media coverage of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), most people aren't just wondering if they will contract it or not, but if they do, what can be done to effectively treat it.
Well, finally medical science has offered us an effective solution to kill the virus and treat the symptoms. Discover exactly what you need to do to help with preventing and treating the Coronavirus.
Is IV Vitamin C Effective Against The CoronaVirus?
The government of Shanghai, China has announced its official recommendation that COVID-19 should be treated with high amounts of intravenous vitamin C.
Effective Dosage recommendations
Dosage recommendations vary with severity of illness, from 50 to 200 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day—max 200 mg/kg/day.
Earlier this year, the Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy (JCIT) also recommended intravenous vitamin C (IVC) 12.5/25g (12,500 - 25,000 mg) for acute viral infections (influenza, herpes zoster, common cold, rubella, mumps, etc.) and virus mimetic infections (such as idiopathic sudden hearing loss, Bell's palsy).
Usually, when adults present with mild symptoms, IVC 12.5g is given during early stages of illness and IVC 25g for moderate to severe symptoms.
IV Vitamin C is usually administered once or twice a day for 2-5 continuous days, which can be given along with other natural viral treatments as well per the specific symptoms of the patient.
Why Does Vitamin C Work So Well To Fight Viral Infections?
When patients present or are diagnosed with acute viral infections, they usually also exhibit a depletion of vitamin C which triggers increasing free radical damage and cellular dysfunction.
These patients should be treated with vitamin C, oral or IV, for neutralizing free radicals throughout the body and inside cells, maintaining physiological functions, and enhancing natural healing.
IV Vitamin C provides systemic absorption throughout the body and mitigates the GI upset symptoms that come with high dose oral loads of Vitamin C.
What is the CDC Saying about the CORONAVIRUS?
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory disease.
-
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
-
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
-
Stay home when you are sick.
-
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
-
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
-
Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
-
CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
-
Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
-
-
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
-
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
