Vitamin C is an absolue cure for COVID-19 when given intravenously. It can can also be administered via the oral route and if enough is taken it will produce the same effect (liposomal C is much more potent than ascorbate crystals or pills). C prevents cytokine storms and sepsis, the inevitable end result of viral pneumonia, and it repairs cells. The body is largely made of collagen and collagen is made from C. It is needed in over 1000 different chemical reactions in the body.





ibuprofen

ibuprofen should not be used for managing symptoms, say doctors and scientists

The minister, Oliver Veran, tweeted on Saturday 14 March that people with suspected covid-19 should avoid anti-inflammatory drugs. “Taking anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, cortisone . . .) could be an aggravating factor for the infection. If you have a fever, take paracetamol,” he said.

His comments seem to have stemmed in part from remarks attributed to an infectious diseases doctor in south west France. She was reported to have cited four cases of young patients with covid-19 and no underlying health problems who went on to develop serious symptoms after using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the early stage of their symptoms. The hospital posted a comment saying that public discussion of individual cases was inappropriate.

But Jean-Louis Montastruc, a professor of medical and clinical pharmacology at the Central University Hospital in Toulouse, said that such deleterious effects from NSAIDS would not be a surprise given that since 2019, on the advice of the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products, French health workers have been told not to treat fever or infections with ibuprofen.
