I noticed you said you take one vitamin C pill per day. Just to climb up on my soap box, I ought to mention that vit C only stays in your blood stream about 12 hours, so you should dose twice per day. In human dosage terms, animals that still have an undamaged gene that makes vit C from blood sugar produce about six grams (6,000 mg) per day when well. 35,000 mg per day when under attack from a virus. After years of experimenting, I've decided that six grams per day makes me mostly immune from viruses, and eight grams per day even more so. There is a timing window that lasts a few hours in the beginning of a flu or cold virus attack that enables you to defeat the virus by taking a 35,000 mg dose and then going to bed. I've successfully used that tactic numerous times. The only time it's failed is when the virus snuck up on me with few symptoms, and that never happened with flu.
