Wow! cold went away quick.

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.

I have noticed the same thing - that vitamin D3 pills are not as protective as sunlight (or even as a reptile UV/B light for 20 minutes). An interesting research project would be to try and find out if this is simply dosage related, (but 10000 iu seems like a lot!) or if there are other anti-infection "factors" or by-products created by sunlight, but that are not in the vitamin D(3) pills.

We already talked here about other factors produced on sunlight.

Schigara, OJ is not the best way to use AA, because its full of [natural] sugar.
