Preamble
This was originally published in as part of the post 'Science Making A Monkey Of Itself' under the subheading 'My Solution When I Catch The Common Cold' and is now being published as a standalone post. This is because this specific discussion in that post is an integral part which is both complimentary as well as supplemental to the discussion for the post 'My Covid-19 Episodes' as an aspect of it.
It was the reason I caught Covid-19 twice within a space of two months (first I caught the Delta variant then some two months later the Omicron variant) and survive without any serious illness. I was (through no fault of mine but due to bureaucratic red tape) unvaccinated, but is was not because I am a nutcase anti-vaxxer but I was unable to register (despite numerous attempts) for an appointment to get the shots (you can read more about this in the post, 'My Covid-19 Episodes').
The post 'Science Making A Monkey Of Itself' because my current condition and situation (where I can barely do any work) many parts (i.e. sub topics) in that post have been left hanging for many years. As such I have decide to take that post offline for the time being until such time when I am able to more fully work to complete them. Is my intention once I am able to, to separate out the discussions on the Covid-19 pandemic into a post by itself as that discussion has gotten quite massive and it is only ten percent done.
My Common 24 Hours Cold Cure
I have come into the knowledge of a cure for the common cold which had worked for me every single time I caught the common cold. I do not have this knowledge because I am incredulously and ingeniously intelligent nor someone great with supreme andor divine knowledge. I am not any of these things (except for my Christian calling and my being ordained by GOD to be a watchman and messenger for which reason I wrote all these Christian topics blog) but just a very average and ordinary (in intelligence and other physical and mental attributes, not necessarily physiological and pathological which sad to say I am quite the miserable specimen of a) human being living on this planet earth.
An unbeliever would have attribute this knowledge which I come by, as a chance or 'luck'. But being a Christian via the Everlasting Covenant, I totally, absolutely and completely believe that it is by providence (of GOD) that I gained this knowledge. This is because I tend to have very bad episodes with the common cold suffering severe cases every single time I caught the common cold before. Each episode lasting ten to twenty days with the severe symptoms of runny nose (of two to three days) followed by total blockage of the nose (i.e. nasal congestion) with the accompanying inflammation of the sinus (i.e. sinusitis) with accompany headache and other facial distresses (extreme pain around the nose, eyes, cheek bones, front part of the head, etc.) lasting the remainder of the episode.
Why 6 Gram, Not 5 gram, Not 7 gram
I came by this Common Cold Cure one day when I was on an excursion in the forest. On the first night I was there in the middle of the night, I woke with a bad sore throat and fever. Since I did not want to spent the rest of my trip being sick I took 6 tablets amounting to 6 g (or 6000 mg) of vitamin C. Don't asked me why I did that (took 6g of Vitamin C) because I have no clue, but that is what I did and by the next morning all the symptoms were gone as if I have not been sick at all.
And to this day this cure have continued to work (for me) and (which I considered as) a great blessing. I have tried (just out of curiosity) 5 g (or 5000 mg) and it doesn't work at all. While to this day, 6 gram works every single time. But bear in mind that I am not a medical professional and do not have the means to determine how much vitamin C needed to be maintained in your bloodstream (of taking 6 g of vitamin C) over the course of the treatment, as that is of course the ultimate determining effectiveness of the treatment.
My weight has been between 50 kg (the lowest I ever weigh) to 65 kg (the heaviest I ever weigh). Now I am in the region of 50 to 55 kg. So if you are 75 kg or heavier, it is conceivable that you might need 7 gram or even 8 gram (or more). But if you are planning to take 7 or 8 gram (or even 6 gram), I suggest breaking them into two separate time (like 4 gram first and another 3 or 4 gram) maybe half an hour to one hour later so that you don't end up having diarrhea (which is a side effect of overdosing on vitamin C) and none of the vitamin get absorb into you blood stream.
From that time onward, every time I contracted common cold I would take 6 g of vitamin C every ten to twelve hours, up to 4 times (i.e. 4 doses) in forty eight hours. And it had worked every single time (the last six to seven times I caught the common cold in these past ten years) within a couple of hours the symptoms would subside and by the second dose ten to twelve hours later all symptoms would be gone. I take an additional 2 doses (in another twenty four hours period) just as additional precaution.
Being the friendly and graceful person that I am, very naturally I shared it with all those I know. Invariably, everyone (including all my siblings) is skeptical, with most worrying about kidney and liver damage. So I do not expect anyone reading this to be not skeptical. If you (the reader) are skeptical, be skeptical then and please do not try this Common Cold Cure of mine least you suffer some great harm like kidney and liver damage or even die from overdosing on vitamin C. You have been explicitly warned.
To date, there are only two persons (who too were skeptical when I told them, until they tried it out when in the due process of time they also caught the common cold) I know of who had tried this Common Cold Cure of mine and both have confirmed to me that it works (for them as well). This was several years ago before the current pandemic.
Here is what I do (which may not apply with others at all, so don't take this or treat this as a medical solution or worse a miracle cure) whenever I catch the common cold (i.e. the cold virus is also a coronavirus) noticed by a beginning fever or a runny (water mucus) nose. I take 6 gram (1000 mg x 6 tablets) of vitamin C (not the buffered or time release types which I would never use as these are just health scams) twice (morning and evening, some 10 to 12 hours apart) a day, for two days for a total of 4 x 6 g doses, spaced out over forty-eight hours (drinking two to four cups of water a couple of hours before each subsequent dose, but less water than normal after each dose for at least 8 hours) and I am well in 24 to 48 hours (the second day is just additional precaution to ensure the recovery is complete) without any after effects such as stuffy nose (nasal congestion) and cough that normally followed from a cold infection.
It is important to drink plenty of water before each subsequent dose. This is to ensure that I don't overdose on vitamin C as these water soluble vitamin are removed from our system whenever we 'pee' (i.e. urinate). So two to three hours before I take the next dose (of 6 g vitamin C) I drink two to four full cups of water (approximated 240 ml per cup). In between that I drink less water so as to keep the blood level of vitamin C high (as that is the point of that it).
Also (this is important) be sure to drink between one glass (approximately 240 ml) to one and a half glass of water each time you take 6 g vitamin C to avoid having diarrhea. This is because drinking too little water on taking 6 g of vitamin C will result in reverse osmotic pressure leading to the vitamin C drawing water from your bloodstream through your intestinal wall thus leading to diarrhea.
If you are a person who don't drink much water, you definitely should not be taking high dosages of vitamin C as among the side effects (especially of prolong taking high doses even just 1000 mg daily) is possibly kidney stone, aside from other side effects.
People with some medical condition that could lead to their body storing too much vitamin C also should not be taking high dosages of vitamin C. People with hemochromatosis are in danger of a vitamin C overdose. This condition causes your body to store excessive amounts of iron, which is exacerbated by taking too much vitamin C. This condition can lead to body tissue damage.
Likewise if you are an alkaline water nutcase, you should not be talking high doses of any vitamin.
Typically if you drink plenty of water most of the vitamin C in your blood stream (and body) will be excreted after you pee (i.e. urinate) two or three times, at most. So short duration of high dosing of vitamin C are seldom harmful as long as you drink plenty of water each day.
If you want try this Common Cold Cure please first seek medical advice (especially if you have kidney, liver or other related diseases) as I am not a doctor nor a medical professional. Do your own due diligence looking up on Vitamin C toxicity and overdosing, before you decide to try out my Common Cold cure (insert below are some samples).
Here is a medical website info on Vitamin C dosage:

I just do what I do, which is to share what I have learned through personal encounters and experiences. But hey, what do I know, I am just a no account nobody, so please don't quote me as some sort of expert which I totally am not.

It should be noted that some hospitals have tried (see inserted image above this) intravenous dosing with high dosage of vitamin C with varying (just not for everyone they tested on) results but ultimately most showing no differences. Most of these cases the patients were already in critical care so if you want to try this Common Cold Cure of mine please do so as early as possible on the detection of a Covid-19 infection.
Also (just my personal opinion) I think they need to maintain a higher blood serum level of vitamin C at all times in the body for the cure to work. Remember talking 5 g of vitamin C did not do a thing (i.e. did not work at all absolutely) with the common cold whereas with 6 g, in a matter of hours my cold (the runny nose symptom) was gone (i.e. cured). If you want to try it don't wait until you are in critical condition in the hospital to try it.
You can read about my Covid-19 episodes (yes I contracted and tested positive for Covid-19 Delta variant at the end of October 2021 and again with the Omicron variant at the end of December 2021) and survived without serious harm, in this post, 'My Covid-19 Episode'. Yes, twice within a space of two months, just how unlucky can one gets?
