Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We use this for a long-term treatment of whooping cough. All of my kiddos (from 9 years old to 6 months old) ended up getting it this year. My doctor actually tried to diagnose my oldest with RAD. He never even tested him for pertussis because he never had that telltale whoop. This is so much easier on the stomach than ascorbic acid!!! We have used this and the NOW brand of vitamin C. I like that the dosage for this is smaller (NOW has slightly more vitamin C per dose but is 1/2tsp instead of 1/4tsp). I mix it into the baby's food and into juice for the older kids. I even put it in my coffee in the morning and can't tell it's there at all. The only ill side effect of any vitamin C in large doses is needing to run to the bathroom. But that's how you know your system is flooded with it. In the case of pertussis, this is a good thing! This didn't just help with WC, though, for us. My youngest actually had a clogged tear duct that was getting worse instead of better. Her doctor told me that she might need to have it surgically corrected once she was a year. Within TWO DAYS of using this vitamin C, it had completely cleared up! It hasn't returned since! How many parents put their children through an unnecessary procedure when just adding more vitamin C to the diet could help??? I'd highly recommend it for that purpose! For any who need to use it for that reason, this is a great resource: http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org/2012/09/07/vitamin-c-for-whooping-cough-updated-edition-suzanne-humphries-md/ Modern medicine has no treatments for whooping cough. Your doc will likely give antibiotics, which will wipe all the good gut bacteria your child has and further weaken the immune system, an inhaler (likely albuterol), and steroids. Vitamin C and essential oils have no ill side effects and actually WORK. The pertussis vaccine is not very effective, which is why we're seeing such a widespread resurgence. My dad even contracted it. He had taken everything the doctor had given him and was still coughing all night long. Once he started taking this vitamin c, within one DAY, he could tell a difference! His first dose was 17,000mg. ;)
