Vitamin C used for COVID-19
Intravenous vitamin C is already being employed in China against COVID-19 coronavirus. I am receiving regular updates because I am part of the Medical and Scientific Advisory Board to the International Intravenous Vitamin C China Epidemic Medical Support Team. Its director is Richard Z. Cheng, MD, PhD; associate director is Hong Zhang, PhD. Among other team members are Qi Chen, PhD (Associate Professor, Kansas University Medical School); Jeanne Drisko, MD (Professor, University of Kansas Medical School); Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD; and Atsuo Yanagisawa, MD, PhD. (Professor, Kyorin University, Tokyo). CLICK HERE to read the treatment protocol information.
Direct report from China
OMNS Chinese edition editor Dr. Richard Cheng is reporting from China about the first approved study of 12,000 to 24,000 mg/day of vitamin C by IV. The doctor also specifically calls for immediate use of vitamin C for prevention of coronavirus (COVID-19).
A second clinical trial of intravenous vitamin C was announced in China on Feb. 13th. (VIDEO) In this second study, says Dr. Cheng, “They plan to give 6,000 mg/day and 12,000 mg/day per day for moderate and severe cases. We are also communicating with other hospitals about starting more intravenous vitamin C clinical studies. We would like to see oral vitamin C included in these studies, as the oral forms can be applied to more patients and at home.”
And on Feb 21, 2020, announcement has been made of a third research trial now approved for intravenous vitamin C for COVID-19. (VIDEO).
Dr. Cheng, who is a US board-certified specialist in anti-aging medicine, adds:
Vitamin C is very promising for prevention, and especially important to treat dying patients when there is no better treatment. Over 2,000 people have died of the COIV-19 outbreak and yet I have not seen or heard large dose intravenous vitamin C being used in any of the cases. The current sole focus on vaccine and specific antiviral drugs for epidemics is misplaced.”
He adds that:
Early and sufficiently large doses of intravenous vitamin C are critical. Vitamin C is not only a prototypical antioxidant, but also involved in virus killing and prevention of viral replication. The significance of large dose intravenous vitamin C is not just at antiviral level. It is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that kills most people from coronaviral pandemics (SARS, MERS and now NCP). ARDS is a common final pathway leading to death. We therefore call for a worldwide discussion and debate on this topic.”
News of vitamin C research for COVID-19 is being actively suppressed
Anyone saying that vitamin therapy can stop coronavirus is already being labeled as “promoting false information” and promulgating “fake news.” Even the sharing of verifiable news, and direct quotes from credentialed medical professionals, is being restricted or blocked on social media. You can see sequential examples of this phenomenon at my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/themegavitaminman .
Indeed, the World Health Organization (WHO) has, literally, met with Google and Facebook and other media giants to stop the spread of what they declare to be wrong information.
Physician-directed, hospital-based administration of intravenous vitamin C has been marginalized or discredited. Scientific debate over COVID-19 appears to not be allowed.
Ironically, Facebook, blocking any significant users’ sharing of the news of approved vitamin therapy research, is itself blocked in China by the Chinese government. As for the internet, yes, China has it. And yes, it is censored. But, significantly, the Chinese government has not blocked this real news on how intravenous vitamin C will save lives in the COVID-19 epidemic.
Medical orthodoxy obsessively focuses on searching for a vaccine and/or drug for coronavirus COVID-19). While they are looking for what would be fabulously profitable approaches, we have with vitamin C an existing, plausible, clinically demonstrated method to treat what coronavirus patients die from: severe acute respiratory syndrome, or pneumonia.
And it is available right now.

TTAC Comments:
Three research studies in China have approved vitamin C for treating COVID-19. Confirmation has also been obtained that 50 TONS of vitamin C has been shipped to Wuhan province, and on March 3rd, the Shanghai government officially recommended Vitamin C for COVID-19.
Sharing information on COVID-19 vitamin therapy research has now been systematically blocked and censored by Facebook and other social media giants and labeled as “false information” or “fake news.” However, all OMNS releases are duly referenced to the research literature. Since when is properly referenced medical literature “fake news”?
Case in point — Rob Schneider merely tweeted a screenshot of the scientific studies, and his tweet was blocked!
Thank YOU @Facebook
for finally taking
A STAND AGAINST VITAMIN C,
the scourge plaguing America, and for STANDING UP FOR FEAR!

I wish you all would look into using ionic / colloidal silver via nebulizer to treat virus outbreaks because it works on so many including the corona group.
Doesn’t that massive dose induce serious diarrhea? Is it administered slowly?
no its (vit C) is water based and what does get used flushes out in waste.
People take it in divided doses throughout the day, which reportedly increases absorption/ bioavailability. The usual instructions say to start with a relatively low amount (or the amount you already take), and take an additional 500 mg. or 1,000 mg. more per day (in divided doses) until you reach “bowel tolerance” (when you start to get very soft or slightly loose stools). That is said to be your body’s personal proper dose, and it can change depending on your health and your diet. Liposomal vitamin C (by mouth) and intravenous vitamin C (by vein) reportedly don’t cause diarrhea, as they are apparently absorbed by the body differently than other types of vitamin C. That’s why people like to use them if a higher dosage is preferred or necessary. The good thing is that it is widely reported that you cannot overdose on vitamin C. Google “Dr. Andew Saul” and/or “Dr. Suzanne Humphries” on YouTube. TTAC, much MUCH love and many thanks! Stay strong and composed, everybody. Fear not. xoxo
Another excellent resource on learning about Vit C is Dr. Thomas Levy’s book “Primal Panacea”. It’s like The encyclopedia of Vit C. Over 1100 footnotes throughout from published articles on Vit C research. A must have book in the times we are facing. We personally have had much experience with Vit C over the last 10 months as my wife went though endometrial cancer and was receiving High dose IV Vit C therapy for boosting her immune system. Receiving up to 300 grams per week of various Vit C orally along with the IV therapy, along with other supplements, now all her labs came back normal. The advice above is accurate on discovering bowel tolerance.(BT) Simply stated, your tolerance level is indicative of your body’s deficiency. If you can take a lot and not bump your BT then you are “that deficient of Vit C”. When taking Vit C orally, take small doses multiple times throughout the day rather than all at once. Regular ascorbic acid has a short life in your body. Like 5-8 min. So taking small amounts more often is better to build up to your BT. Once your internal Vit C is built up to what your body needs, you will find that your BT will gradually get lower and lower. Your reserves are being replenished. It will eventually cease to drop and will balance out. This is a good sign. I seem to hang around 8-10 grams a day. Using Liposomal Vit C 1000 mg (1 gram) in effect is equivalent to 2-3 grams of regular oral Vit C due to its not being water soluble and absorption is totally different. Anyway hope this helps. Stay well! Be smart! Educate yourself to give wise answers when people ask. The book I mentioned above is invaluable to that learning. And it might just make you mad at what has been kept from us.
Not if taken intravenously (IV).
I have done 15g and on up with no issue via IV.
Now if you try taking anywhere near that amount orally, then Yes, stomach issues will have you running towards the porcelain god/goddess.
Thanks Ty for this lifesaving information. If nature can control cancer and many other life threatening Illness why not corona virus. I take a combination of Zinc and vitamin C pills plus turmeric garlic cinnamon and ginger. A delicious way to keep the nasties at bay. God Bless
Sounds like an amazing regimen! Thank you for sharing, John.
Typically disgusting response from Facebook, Google, CDC and WHO all of which seem to be beholden to Big Pharma, as well as the Gates Foundation and others. Mercola.com published an article today about the origins of the virus, treatments for it and blockage of properly researched treatments. We truly need more voices like yours to try to educate the public in spite of all of the attempts to block the truth.
Thank you so much for your continued support of us, William. God bless.
Thank you Ty and Charlene! This is awesome. I will share as widely as I can.
Thank you so much, Marsha. Our community never ceases to amaze us by their support!
Thanks for the timely information. It doesn’t surprise me that the medical establishment would try to block its dissemination and Big Pharma can’t make “big bucks” off Vitamin C.
I have volunteered for many years for the rights of people to alternative medicine and different modalities of the “healing arts” — including IV Vitamin C and IV EDTA chelation therapy.
How much to vitamin C should adults and kids take for prevention from Corona Virus and to cure if needed?
Would u have a brand in mind that dose not have all the fillers and garbage in them please thank w!
Hello Ghmok, unfortunately, we can’t recommend anything specific. We can only share what trusted experts and medical professionals are reporting. According to Dr. Cheng, “They plan to give 6,000 mg/day and 12,000 mg/day per day for moderate and severe cases. We are also communicating with other hospitals about starting more intravenous vitamin C clinical studies. We would like to see oral vitamin C included in these studies, as the oral forms can be applied to more patients and at home.”
Thank you for reaching out.
I’ve been taking Vitamin C Infusions monthly since September 2019 to help prevent the Flu. I have a immune comprised system that makes the Flu shot attack me rather than helping. So far, the IV infusions work very effectively against the regular flu, so I assume they will also protect against this new viral outbreak! It’s rare you can get them from an MD or internist here in Arizona though, I must go to a Naturopathic MD for mine and they are a bit pricey and no insurance will cover them when administered by a Naturopath.
i am glenn dumanig from philipines i want to be part as volunter this pandemic corona virus, if you have new discover medicine, thise may contact info on may facebook GLENN DUMANIG or you may call us 09456696923
I’ve had pneumonia twice since the 90’s. The most powerful combination intravenously is 50000mg vitamin C with DMSO. Dmso combines sorts out respiratory problems and inflammation. I found it a far more powerful combination than intravenous Vitamin C on it’s own.
