Hello Owen,
The Vitamin C Foundation gave me your e-mail in hopes that you could help me with some info. I just ordered the powder form that they sell and should receive it in a few days. My first question is does it work on a bacterial infection. I read that it works for viral infections.I've had a serious bacterial infection in my sinus for almost three years now. I've had three operations and done 14 rounds of anti-biotics but nothing got rid of it. Meso-silver in my sinuses combined with taking it internally seemed to make it better for quite a few months. But just in the past 12 days it is back pretty bad again. 12 days ago I caught a cold and at this time I doubled my dose of vitamin c from 1000mg.a day to 2000mg.a day. I'm not sure if it was the cold or vitamin c that made the infection come back.The cold has been gone for about 5 days now but the infection is still just as bad. If vitamin c doesn't work on a bacterial infection do you have any ideas on what will. I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrom, so my immune system is always weak. I need to find a way to build my immune system back up to be strong. How do I go about finding a naturalpath in my area that could help me with these nagging problems.Like any doctor I'm sure there are good ones and poor ones.Anything you could tell me to try would be a big help.Thanks,Dan

You could try Oil of Oregano which you can get at most health food stores. Read label and make sure it's made from vulgare variety and has at least a 70% cavacrol rating.

I would follow Owen's Advice and you could also try this.



This is a known antibiotic, From what I read on it, it works pretty good on sinus infections.

Good idea but how would you "try" it. Certainly not up the nose!

Hello Owen,

Thanks for your response to my questions. I'll try to answer some of the questions in the forum. I've tried oregano oil from " Essensial Oils". I didn't notice a difference from using it alone but maybe along with Vitamin C and Meso-Silver it would help. I live in central Vermont near the capital Montpelier .I found a Naturopath that administers intravenous vitamin c but it's quite a long drive for me to do everyday. Another option is to try high dose Liposome capsules. I've heard that they can be close to a s effective as intravenous therapy.But in the book "Primal Panacea" Dr.Thomas Levy says basically if you have a root canal that nothing is going to reach the infection. So I'm in the process of researching this to see if I should have that tooth extracted. He co- wrote a book on exactly that subject and I intend to buy it as soon as I finish Primal Panacea. I have tried some mushrooms but not sure about the one mentioned in your forum.

I thought it was an interesting concept that someone in your forum said about fatigued adrenal glans. It could be just that since I get colds many times a year now. For some reason all the supplements and anything else I've tried will not build my immune system back up to where I can even fend off colds.I'm racing with time to try to find an answer for this because with a weak immune system it's only a matter of time before something serious like cancer gets a foothold.Thanks for your help.
