You gave the vistide a fair chance and it didnt work.
I just took like 35 grams of non acidic vitamin c (sodium ascorbate) over 3 days along with about 3 grams of Taurine and Im seeing a big improvement in my mood, nerve function, hormones...I think anti virals (arvs, nexavir, etc) help improve the situation, but maybe we have to help our bodies, out of their "antiviral exhausted" phase also.
Its so werid, I had a couple seconds of extreme nerve pain yesterday so much that I screamed, but it was like my nerves were being reactivated from numbness...and I felt much better afterwards.
Edit: Took another 20 grams of vitamin c, another gram of taurine, and a bit more pregnenolone today.
Take care Charles.. from your post, you appear to be unaware about facts on Vitamin C (I studied nutrition and vitamins for 2 years at college). Just cause its usually a safe vitamin doesnt mean that it cant cause more serious issues. It can.
My own bowel tollerance to to it is only 5-6g of vitamin C per day (I cant take any more then 3mg at a time).
With vitamin C it is a water soluable vitamin and hence will not stay in ones system for long, you basically pee it right out again. For this reason to get stable vitamin levels of it it is best to take twice a day or more, some take it hourly for very stable levels.
Taking large doses can give kidney stones.
Ones body also adjusts to how much Vit C one is taking eg the higher the dose you take.. the less your body absorbs once you take it past 500mg. eg 80% of 250mg will be absorbed, that 80% drops after 500mg.
Due to body adaptation to the amounts being taken.. ones body absorbs less and less from its foods. A sudden stoppage of large doses of vitamin C can actually cause scurvy due to this.
(in women who are pregnant... this rebound scurvy can affect their babies and give them scurvy).
I strongly suggest you change the way you are taking your C and when you decide to stop it.. it the amounts should be SLOWLY reduced over 2-3 weeks (due to the possibility of causing rebound scurvy issues).
I too find vitamin C helpful... probably cause its an antioxidant.

Daff.. sorry to hear that things arent going so well for you right now. You do thou appear far less depressed then you used to be.
