It's starting
Nov. 2nd, 2005 12:40 pmAs it turns out, Adam is the first person in the house to catch a cold for the season. This bothers me slightly, only because my husband has a superhuman immune system: either he gets a few mild symptoms and then the illness is gone in a day or two; or it's something big enough to knock him down and keep him down for several days, which therefore means that if anyone else got it, it would probably send them to a hospital. This must be a particularly nasty cold virus -- he's all congested and sneezy and completely miserable. He stayed home yesterday because he was so dizzy he could barely stand. He started feeling better later in the day. But this morning when I woke up he looked awful. He's home resting again. I put a bottle of water, tissues, and a huge bottle of vitamin C tablets, 1,000 mg each, on the night table. He loves vitamin C. But he prefers to eat, drink, or chew tablets instead of swallow pills, so I will see if I can pick up the chewables.
Speaking of... Eric, can you explain your personal theory about the really high doses of Vitamin C again? I hear as much controversy about it as I do benefits. Of course, with any vitamin, supplement, or treatment, you're going to get a bunch of people saying it's bullshit and it's dangerous, and another bunch of people saying it's perfectly fine and in fact beneficial. Remember when people thought tomatos were poisonous?
