High Dose Vit C In Covid 19 Cytokine storm
It was a sheer accident that in spite
of all proper preventive management, I developed covid and landed up into a
severe Cytokine storm.
Nobody in Goa
had ever used HDVC in such a condition. I was being treated with very high
doses of steroids, Remdesivir, antithrombotic, anticoagulants, antibiotics, Zn,
oral vitamin C, vitamin D ,vit A, and a other supportive treatments for other
systems.
I was constantly worsening. I
had a good medical team. We were in touch with other covid teams in the
country. Dr Anande and Dr Lenny managed to convince my team to start with 25
Gms of vit C IV every 6 hourly. This makes it to 100 Gms per day. We learn
today a large number of Covid centres use high dose vit C with great results
and minimum side effects.
My first
dose was started at 8pm on the 7th day of admission ……2nd dose at 2am....3rd
dose at 8 am next day.....
By the time 3rd dose ended I was smiling and
I knew I was on the recovery path. I took IV Vit C for 5 days. There were absolutely
no side effects and I kept on improving. It was vit C that saved my life.
Vit C was safe ...had no side effects like steroids, remdesivir,
anticoagulants etc. Vit C is a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulation
and also has antiviral action.
I recommend High dose vit C to be used at the
beginning of covid storm so that, we will have to use very low dose of
steroids. This will give a better recovery post Covid.
