Vitamin C Infusions During COVID-19
As we are all well aware of the pandemic going around known as the coronavirus, or COVID-19. What we all know in particular is how dangerous and life-threatening this virus can be. So what is the best way to treat it, you may ask? Vitamin C.
I don’t mean just taking some supplements. The most effective way to get the vitamin C your body needs to stop the virus is through IV Therapy. The Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy (JCIT) recommends intravenous vitamin C (IVC) acute viral infections and virus mimetic infections. This treatment is performed for a few days to replenish the body’s depleting vitamin C to naturally heal. Besides, the vitamin C, the protocol includes other essential vitamins and minerals that are administered intravenously to fight the infection.

Not only does Covid-19 affect the heart, lungs, stomach and kidneys, but it is now known that the virus affects the brain. In a study done with 128 Covid Patients, 10 weeks after patients had the virus and had tested negative, they still reported a persisting, debilitating fatigue. Those with the post-covid persisting fatigue both came from groups that dealt with both more severe forms of Covid-19 and less severe forms of Covid-19. In another study done with 3,792 Covid patients from around the world, 7 months after contracting the illness, 78% reported fatigue, 57% reported cognitive dysfunction, and 68% were still unable to work. These patients are now known in the medical world as “long haulers” due to their persistent symptoms long after contracting the virus and no longer testing positive. These long-term effects of Covid can also lead to other infectious diseases and make those more prone to contracting illnesses. As of now, the only treatments that are available to help with the symptoms of Covid-19 long haulers are physical therapy, to restore fatigue and help patients get back to work and being on their feet; as well as IV therapy, which can restore the vitamins and minerals missing from your body to restore cognitive function and possibly minimize fatigue Rosebank medical center has all of these options available to you, so if you have had covid and still suffer from symptoms such as fatigue, weakness in the muscles and bones, and impaired cognitive function.
