Linus Pauling recommended taking 1000 milligrams of vitamin C a day to prevent and/or treat colds. Almost everyone who has taken 1000 mg of vitamin C to treat and/or prevent colds is quite ill to very ill and would not have incidences of colds reduced.
Megadosages of vitamin C are 1000 mg. of vitamin C a day or more. Megadosages of vitamin C are a slow poison. 1000 mg is now the most common dosage in pills of vitamin C.
Megadosages of vitamin C decrease synthesis of RNA and DNA through decreasing synthesis of uridine monophosphate. Subsequent to RNA and DNA synthesis being decreased protein levels are not reset to default levels as synthesis of uridine monophosphate is not reset to default levels as proteins needed to synthesize uridine monophosphate are at low levels.
Stopping megadosages of vitamin C does not stop difficulties as proteins can not be reset to default levels. Difficulties can even get worse though megadosages of vitamin C have been stopped. Megadosages are vitamin C are an extreme epigenetic insult.
Individuals who have taken megadosages of vitamin C would be tempted to take supplements as individuals who take megadosages of vitamin C are quite ill to very ill. Taking supplements only worsens difficulties.
Where supplements, for example, pyridoxine, are taken enzymes are upregulated but as countervailing steps genetic loci closely connected to such enzymes become hypermethylated decreasing synthesis of such enzymes. Levels of such enzymes do not return to default levels even where supplements are stopped where megadosages of vitamin C have been taken. Individuals can land up having symptoms of nutrient deficiencies even where nutrient blood levels are normal.
There is a treatment where megadosages of vitamin C have been taken. See this post. Here is a photo of Linus Pauling who did not take megadosages of vitamin C but who pushed megadosages of vitamin C as an almost universal panacea for decades.
