The news media are not reporting this, or any other, significantly positive megavitamin news.
Loving the photo, but needing authentication, I consulted my physician correspondent in China, Richard Cheng, MD. He confirmed it, saying: "This was reported in the Chinese media about 2 weeks ago." Another translator has also independently verified the accuracy of the translation.
DSM, by the way, simply stands for Dutch State Mines, the Netherlands-based parent of DSM Jiangshan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The Chinese division has been recognized as a "China Enterprise with Outstanding Contribution to Social Responsibility." https://www.dsm.com/countrysites/locations/jiangshan/en_us/home.html There is another DSM factory in Scotland, which also manufactures vitamin C.
We are so used to being lied to that the truth is like a diamond in a five-and-dime store: you can't believe it is real because it is mixed in with the fakes. News of nutrition-centered treatment of COVID-19 has been branded "fake news" and "false information." I say that what is "false" and "fake" is the deliberate omission of any news of health-saving, life-saving measures already underway to help the people of China and the rest of our planet. .
Here is more verified but still unreported news of high-dose intravenous vitamin C against COVID-19 in China:
Summary
1) Three repeatedly confirmed vitamin C for COVID-19 research studies are going on in China now. https://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n12.shtml
2) Confirmation has also been obtained that 50 tons (yes, tons) of vitamin C has been donated by a major C manufacturer and trucked to Wuhan.
3) The concerned public is receiving only "be-scared-until-we-vaccinate-you" news.
4) Sharing information on COVID-19 vitamin therapy research has now been systematically blocked by Facebook and other social media giants.
5) The news media are not reporting on any of this. Therefore, I ask that you take it upon yourselves to do so and share all this with everyone you can.

You all need to look into liposomal vitamin C. The absorption rate is even higher that I.V. , although in severe crisis type intervention the IV method skips the gut and is preferred for direct, immediate results.
But....for those of us whose health care is DIY, and you have a good sense for when your coming down with something ( l.e....before your gut gets compromised), you can get a 'mega-dose' far beyond the 'bowel tolerance'(BT) limitations of your normal ascorbic acid (AA) supplements. For each 1g (1000mg) cap of standard C, your body will only absorb 15-20%, so your peeing out 800mg and absorbing 200mg. Most people who haven't pushed the BT limit can maybe only handle 3-4g's a day, so out of 3000mg's your gut only allows you to get 600mg in ya.
The liposome encapsulates the C molecule allowing it to get past the guts blocking action. The absorption rate is said to be around 80%!!!...i.V. tops out at about 75%,( though, as mentioned earlier, it has it's place in critical interventions.) So you can get WAY, way more C into your body without the BT limit being a problem. (some report 10-12g's without a problem...so, a 12,000mg dose gets 10,000mg in you!....in the battle against the bugs, you just went from a platoon to a division!)
It is considerably more expensive that your standard AA vit. C, if you buy it ready made. But again, there is a way for the financially challenged...you can make your own! DO YOUR HOMEWORK! There is lots of 'recipes' on the web, some probably don't encapsulate as much as others, so do the research. I made my first batch yesterday using this guys method...[Link] I substituted sunflower lecithin for the soy extracted lecithin that he used... i haven't tested it yet to see if i get the runs because it wasn't properly encapsulated...(i have a 220lb lab rat, that looks exactly like me, i test on...:-)
For those who need details and cites,....here is the patent, [Link] of info there.( PS LiveOn Labs bought the 'simple method' patent presented here to eliminate competition for their product....standard issue business butt-heads they be.)
Good luck, and stay well.
Some tips:
1. Sodium ascorbate is much easier to dissolve in water (and in alcohol) than acid. Since both of them don't dissolve in ethanol readily, it's possible to make a mistake by adding too much alcohol to solution, or before the vitamins are dissolved. This precipitates the vitamin, or prevents it from being dissolved at all.
2. Given mass of sodium ascorbate (for example 100 g) contains about 90% of vitamin C present in the same mass of ascorbic acid - because sodium weighs slightly more than 10% of mass of ascorbic acid. Not big difference, but the powder in acid version is more "concentrated", so to say.
3. Sodium ascorbate is salty when in solution (less than the same amount of table salt), ascorbic acid is sour as hell and may be bad for your teeth, plus it's much harder to dissolve. But, after I used my 1 kg of ascorbate, and didn't want to throw away 1k kg of ascorbic acid I had, I've found a way to alleviate these problems - I mix acid with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) then add water and it dissolves easily. This creates a solution known as "soda", i.e. sparkling water, only slightly salty and not acidic at all. After you find a proper ratio it's actually quite tasty, you may add some juice if you wish.
This way you can supplement bicarbonate too, some people believe it helps with maintaining pH of blood or whatever. I think it's a misconception, but at least you will disinfect your throat a bit.
By the way, this process creates sodium ascorbate (that's why it dissolves easier), plus CO2, you can make powder of sodium ascorbate by precipitating it from solution by adding ethanol (or other alcohol), decanting water, and then evaporating alcohol, if you want it for some reason.
4. I couldn't find a source of egg lecithin, so I used sunflower lecithin. I don't like soy lecithin, because it's almost certainly from GMO, so who knows what pesticides it has in it ("lecithin" here is actually a mixture of many different lipids, and it isn't very rigorously purified when prepared, so any lipid-soluble substances present in/on the plant could still be found there at least in trace amounts).
Good luck buddy!!
I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner yet, so i used a high speed hand blender...kind of a pain in the...wrist, doing 3-4 min of mixing every 2 hrs....8 times in 16 hours. With the cleaner you just set the timer and turn it on....i think its well worth the $150-$250 to get a decent one with heat and timer (another amazonian nightmare....too many options!!)
My batch sat over-nite in the fridge with no separation, so i think the encapsulation process worked. I gotta eat some breakfast, before i try a 6-8 gram dose.... if i took that much of the standard AA C it would cause a "liquid sit-down", so i should know by tonight or tomorrow in the A.M.. Lucky for me, my home office is right close to the can. :-)
Spread the word my friend...it could literally save the life of someone in your circle of family and friends.
To those thanking me, your welcome...best thanks would be to pay it forward.
Saiko, the combining of the alcohol, water, and ascorbic acid, @ about 90 degrees F was no problem. See the recipe in the first link in my comment...seems your making things more complicated than necessary, IMO. Theres so little alcohol in even a 10,000mg mega dose, i can't understand why you would worry about that...unless your very small and have 0 tolerance for alcohol...(i wish one shot of vodka gave me a buzz, as I'd be a much cheaper date on a nite out. :-)
Also, the liposomal will get the vit.C to places that the gut just won't allow, so even if you hate alcohol, your throwing out the baby(way higher protection) with the bathwater( the alcohol).
