I didn't think I would actually get a cold since I have been on 15grams of C per day and 10000iu D3 and E and A, etc.etc and I also play golf a lot so I get lots of sunshine. This is the first week it has been too cold to play golf so I have been inside with little access to sunshine. Even though I am still taking 10,000iu of D3, I think the lack of sun is what allowed for this.
For two and a half years, I had not one cold or even a sniffle. I woke up this morning at 4:30am with that scratchy and sore throat. It was hard to swallow and feeling a bit chilled. I immediately mixed up 6grams of AA powder in some OJ and did so again every 20minutes until 6am. After just the second dose, I was already able to swallow easier. I woke up around 9:30 and feel great.
For the next 7-10 days I am going to increase my usual 15grams of C to 20grams or more per day.
