That solves it everyone. Science is wrong, Franky1 is right. There certainly is no incentive for the medical industry to sell everyone expensive pharmaceuticals when simple natural and unpatentable treatments are available right? I mean just look at marijuana, the government says it has zero medical value, and they would never lie to you right?
the way you word it is as if vitamin C prevents the flu
sorry it does not
the study which was stated had nothing to do with people who never got the flu
the study was about people who had the flu AND THEN given vit C to see how it reduced the severity of symptoms
you are the one that tried to highlight a small extract that said it reduced or prevent symptoms
and then you went on some campaign to make it sound like vit C prevents the flu
you wanted to emphasise 'prevent' and then you assumed it ment prevent flu
but the real emphasis is reduce symptoms. double emphasis on symptoms
one more time
reduce the symptoms
is no where near the same as
prevent the virus
prevent the flu
cure the flu
and also vitamin C does not store in the body.
so its not like if you dose up on it a week before a local outbreak of the flu. it will act as a shield to prevent you getting the flu for a month
i said it a few times before so lets make it clear
if you have the flu taking vitamin C can help boost your system to not feel as unwell as possible
but dont expect to feel 100%
it can help but it aint a cure/preventative method of the flu
its just a support aid to reduce the risk/harm/severity
same goes for water
drinking 10litres a week before the flu wont help much when you get the flu. it wont cure or prevent it.
however once yo have the flu. and yes everyone will get it.
however one you get it staying hydrated while you have it will help give you a boost so that you dont feel as sluggish as some people with more severe symptoms who dont hydrate
it all about perspective
and also marijuana has positive AND negative health concerns
and no cannabis does not cure cancer
it can though help you be more relaxed and less stressed when getting other treatment
lets word it this way. if you have toothpain and need a tooth extraction. and given pain relief. the pain releaf is not the cure of whats happening in your mouth. keeping the tooth in an just taking pain killers just hides the symptoms but doesnt mean the rotton tooth just goes away. you still need it extracted.
however by not extrating it yo could then just become dependant on painkillers and then start having other mouth issues like ulcers and gum rot and other things.
so even if not inpain our not curing the problem in your mouth.
and thats the issue with trying to think these symptom aids are cures. they are not. they just make the symptoms less recognisable/severe but they dont solve the underlying cause.
so please atleast grow some morals and stop trying to promote vit C as if it will prevent someone getting a virus.. or what you will get is people walking round with oranges selotaped to their mouth thinking they are immortal from the flu.... but then get it anyway
pain killers reduce or prevent toothdecay pain
does not mean painkillers prevent tooth decay
does not mean you will be 100% painless.
does not mean 1 pill will shield you of all pain forever
do you understand yet?
Actually, it is you who doesn't understand yet [Why do I even suggest the possibility of change by using the word "yet"?].
Linus Pauling and his researchers found out years ago that vitamin C + L-lysine + L-proline cures heart disease... heart disease, often considered the #2 killer.
Why does this work? Because Pauling found that all heart disease really is, is a form of scurvy. And most people know from the severe scurvy in sailors who didn't get enough fresh fruit years ago, these bad cases of scurvy were cured by eating a lot of oranges.
