OK, I know some of you are going to roast me for this, but I'm sharing what I've just been told and you can do with it what you will. Some of it sounds pretty crazy, I'll admit.
First I'm going to tell you the part that I know for an absolute fact, before I get into the content of what was just relayed to me.
When I was young, one of my best friends was a Chinese kid whose family had immigrated here. Mother, father, 2 sons, all born in China. Father attended what amounts to the military academy over there. He was basically a special forces type bad ass. I went to work for that family's business for about 18 months when I got out of college and was trying to work in the day and go to grad school at night. Company was importing AK-47's, SKS rifles and parts, ammunition and accessories for same. All of this was being imported from communist China. This was in the 1980's when very little was coming from China (not Taiwan) and you had to be CONNECTED to do business there. My friend actually has a picture of his wife's family with Chairman Mao. I'm talking about CONNECTED and this family continues to do business in China to this day although they obviously don't import AK-47's and SKS rifles anymore.
Well the older brother who is maybe 56-57 years old I'm guessing, a GT grad, just called me. He NEVER calls me and I generally only call him when I'm trying to find out whether his younger brother (my college roommate) is in the country or not. He called and asked how I was handling the COVID-19 thing. I figured he was asking how it was affecting my business but he meant in terms of trying to keep from getting the disease. This guy doesn't do social media AT ALL and I have never known him to be any kind of conspiracy theorist at all. OK, everything up to here is absolute fact that I can swear to. The rest is what he just told me. He said that he has been in contact with his best sources (sources I KNOW he has) in China and is being told that the Chinese military is having their troops take 20mg per pound of body weight per day of Vitamin C. He further stated that this is a biological weapon developed by, I think he called it the PLA (army) in China. I know it sounds crazy. He said that this is a long term situation as you do not gain immunity over time. He insisted that there is no immunity from previous exposure/infection. He said that the Chinese military firmly believes that you will not get COVID-19 if you take the 20mg per pound body weight of Vitamin C per day.
Someone on here previously floated the idea of taking very HIGH dosages of Vitamin C as possible protection from this thing. I wish I could remember who and in what thread. Anyway, whatever DawgVenter said that also said to stay near a toilet if you try it. So I asked this guy if there were any side effects like diarrhea and he said that he did not experience it but his wife did. He said it is temporary though and your body will adjust. He said it will similarly take a day or two to begin protecting you. I don't know what to do with this and I don't blame you if you think my friend is off his rocker. But he never calls me. He didn't call me when his father died. And I've never known him to be full of crap and I know he has legit contacts over there. I think I'm going to go buy a bunch and try it. I can't say that it will work, I only know what I've been told by someone who has a lot of contacts over there.
You can check my post history. I don't come on here and spread BS and conspiracy theories (unless you believe that Auburn doesn't cheat and GT doesn't Lie and Cheat). That doesn't mean that what I'm telling you is medically accurate. But I know that the guy who told me has got sources over there that I'll never have. I was in the import business for a long time and we imported a lot of furniture from China (we were a wholesaler/assembler here). We probably sold furniture to your favorite furniture store/chain/department store. But I have no existing contacts over there. But he legit does. So I don't know. Maybe what he is hearing is just hysteria from China, I don't know. But if it turns out that it works, I would feel badly for not sharing it with you.
