Actually too much Vitamin C can cause damage to the kidneys. Also your heart, DNA and other organs can be effected by oxidative damage. However oxidative damage wont occur from eating natural vitamin C through fruits and veg. I really dont understand how people have trouble getting natural vitamin C when fruit is probably one of the best tasting, cheeper, and easily available natural foods out there. Strawberry's and pineapples are very high in Vitamin C and my favorite. So indulge and enjoying eating good foods when your sick.

Also, I personally find pineapples and fresh pineapple juice to be the most soothing fruit on the planet.

Yeah, my chiropractor got me on this regiment I recommended whenever I was sick, and it really works well. It's true that taking more that 1000mg or so wont be any more beneficial bc you can't absorb and use it, but 1000mg 3x a day seems to be a good dose/time ratio.

all about the vitamin C ... and i have to agree with the chicken noodle soup.... must be all that sodium!!! mmmmmm.....sodium

oh ya and i dont know if this will help your throat but it will help you get better over all... take a hot bath with epsom salt and soak for as long as u can... up to 20 mins.. it draws out a lot of toxins from your body

Also just upping the core temperature of the body tends to help as well. Clears the sinuses as well as makes it a wee bit more unpleasant for viruses to propagate in your body.

I like taking a hot shower and then just slowly up the temp to just past your comfort level, and then let your body adjust. If you can do a little mind-over-matter thinking to deal with the discomfort, you'll feel exceptionally relieved for like an hour afterwards. Slowly pushing up the temp as your comfort level adjusts works too. Just make sure you don't push too hard - don't want any skinburns or anything.
