Jones answers a listener email regarding use of Vitamins C, D3, E, nebulizing silver and N-A-C [again important to stress these are vitamins and supplements and not Rx drugs, and anyone taking them should always follow the suggestions provided on the labeling. that being said... -ed] Vitamin C and Vitamin E together reduce flu mortality in mice. The doses in mice were vitamin E (60 mg/kg b.w.) and vitamin C (80 mg/kg b.w.). This would be equivalent to approx 6g / day Vitamin E and 8g / day Vitamin C. 30 IU vitamin E = 20mg, so I’d say the adult dose of vitamin E during a pandemic is at least 3000 IU (2g/day). I think these doses would only be necessary if there was already a lung infection. Prior to lung infection, the doses could be much smaller. Also Vitamin E is fat-soluble so you could probably use much lower doses of E if there is not an active deadly infection spreading in society. Neither of these vitamins are toxic so you can take high doses with only mild side effects. So to summarize, as a preventative, take a high but reasonable dose (1 400IU vit E pill 2x day, 500mg vit C 3x day). To treat pneumonia, the doses will probably need to be 10-20x the preventative dose, perhaps even higher. D3 – adults need 2,000IU a day to maintain immune status. Children I am unsure. I would feel fine giving my own child 500IU / day. Generally, you can normalize doses for children by body weight. So any medicine dose for a 200lb man must be divided by at least a factor of 4x for a 50lb child. For bioactive compounds, generally the more times per day they are applied, the better. 3x a day is usually better than 1x a day, because it maintains more stable blood plasma levels. On the other hand, it is a bit of a pain in the neck to take pills 3x a day. Generally, I go for 2x a day as a compromise. So I’d say at least morning and night during an epidemic. Better still, you can take a supplement with each meal if there is a really nasty flu going around. Prior to an epidemic, you don’t need the super-high doses, you just need enough to maintain your body’s immune system in good shape. In terms of nebulizing silver treatment, I’d say at least 3x a day during an epidemic. During times like this, prior to the arrival of a pandemic virus, 1x a day is probably more than sufficient. If someone contracts a viral illness, I would nebulize silver more or less continuously while awake. You can do this while watching movies or listening to internet radio etc if you contract a lung infection. Hope this helps. Also don’t forget N-acetyl-cysteine. This is a great antioxidant for lung infection. You can get it in bulk from http://go2.wordpress.com/?id=725X1342&site=labvirus.wordpress.com&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpurebulk.com%2F. It’s a fantastic treatment for pneumonia as it will prevent lung cell death. I would give NAC at 20-50g/day to anyone with active pneumonia. NAC easily dissolves in water for administration of higher doses. 1-2g/day in divided doses is sufficient as preventative. You can also get NAC pills online or from GNC. [I prefer the Jarrow brand, found at either Rainbow Grocery or Whole Foods -ed]
Poster Comment: NAC is N-Acetyl Cysteine and is useful for expeling phlegm from the body during an infection. There are two other chemicals with the acronym NAC.

More than 1200 interferes with heart function. Children I am unsure. Wise, as D has some hormone-like effects. I don't supplement my kids with D besides what's in their multiple. 400IU vit E pill 2x day, 500mg vit C 3x day For an adult? E sounds right, a little low on the C IMO. My (almost) 3-yr-old gets a gram. I'm not aware of any issues in taking it to bowel tolerance.
Col. Wilma Dearing: That's a rather insulting way to begin an alliance based on good faith. Selenium is a co0factor with E si I take them together. That study in Finland was designed to show bad results for E because Finland has no selenium in the soil. I take 2600 D3 daily.
