hey your in the UK too, my son has just had it, + I have been exposed all the time and have managed to stay OK, without the need for Tamiflu, I have just upped my natural anti virrals, I am supplementing Vit c in soluble form every 3 hrs at 1000mg, and taking additional vit b, garlic and ginger, and eating lots of carrotts. Certainly upping your vit c will speed up your recovery and boost your immune system.

best wishes

I really hope you get better soon.

Hey not the subject... stop hijacking Gridlock's thread!

Oldfella taught me everything while I stayed with him down under...

 

[railslave]

had it in march. not bad considering

 

[pumpt73]

Damn bro!!! Get well soon. Fortunately I haven't had this, and hoping I don't get it. A few close friends contracted it, and it didn't do anything more than a regular flu did. Stay strong bro!!!

I've just had a terrible case of some crap as well.It started with a cold for 2 weeks,then I thought it was gone.I went back to the gym for 2 days and it come back 3 x as bad,I developed bronchitis and throat infection then pneumonia.
Nine weeks later and I'm still recovering.I have never been so sick in my life.
This is the longest period I have not been touched a weight for over 21 years.

I've been taking Mucuna Pruriens as a supplement to boost my immune system.It seems to be great for inducing sleep.

Best wishes bro.

Stay away from me for about two months, then it's ok. I'll have my H1N1 vaccine that probably won't work......so better stay the hell away for now!

Overview

In 1986, Professor A. Stewart Truswell of the University of Sydney, Australia concisely summarized the results of 27 trials conducted since 1970. [8] Of these, five were treatment trials with vitamin C or a placebo given only at the onset of a cold and for only several days and all of which found no benefit. The other 22 were double-blind controlled trials giving daily vitamin C or placebo before and during colds. Of these, 12 trials showed no prevention and no reduction in duration or severity, five trials showed no prevention and only slight, statistically nonsignificant lessening of severity, and the other five trials reported no prevention and a small but significant in reduction of duration of the colds. Dr. Truswell concluded: "It is now fairly clear that for preventing colds, vitamin C has no worthwhile effect," but he believed that: "There is thus a little more evidence for a small therapeutic effect of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). However, as Dr. T.W. Anderson's second trial in 1974 revealed 250 mg of vitamin per day reduced severity as much as did 1,000 mg or 4, 000 mg [16].

Does it make sense to supplement with vitamin C? If so, should it be done daily or only at the first sign of a cold or other infection? And what dosage should be used? The many studies done in the last 30 years clearly prove that daily vitamin C supplements, whether 100 mg or 5,000 mg, do not prevent colds and provide, but only for some people, only a slight reduction in duration and severity of colds. Dr. Thomas Chalmers concluded in 1975: "I, who have colds as often and as severe as those of any man, do not consider the very minor potential benefit that might result from taking vitamin C three tines a day for life worth either the effort or the risk, no matter how slight the latter might be." [5]

If you choose to supplement when a cold strikes, there is no reason to take more than 250 mg per day, as shown in the 1974 Anderson study. This amount is easily obtained from the age-old "remedy," fruit juices. Supplementation with larger amounts of vitamin C has not been shown to be more effective, and it may cause diarrhea or have other adverse effects.

Not going to bother pulling up the studies because you didn't, opinion isn't fact, but Vit C has been shown to be beneficial in maintaining a healthy immune system in Active individuals.
