你们大概都看过那封在网上流传的信了吧？ An email from pathologist James Robb. 他在信里说 “Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY “cold-like” symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available.”
查的时候还随便看到有另一篇文章说“ The treatment seems to work when at least 75mg of elemental zinc is taken within the first 24 hours of cold symptoms developing, Dr. Buensalido said. He said the improvement was not seen in children.
"Zinc has also been associated with faster resolution of nasal congestion, nasal drainage, and sore throat, as well as improvement of cough," Dr. Buensalido said.
But be careful. More than 150mg/day of zinc may lead to zinc toxicity, with side effects including reduced immune function, according to the NIH. That could leave you worse off than when you started.”

我今晚在网上查了下，这封信的确是那位病理学家写给自己亲朋好友的，结果在网上流传了出来。 下面我给了网页链接，可以进去看细节。

当时看了那封信，我就上亚马逊定了一瓶GNC的 Zinc Logenge. 还以为可以吃很久呢，结果今天看到这篇文章才知道，这瓶只够吃6天。 更遭的是，现在网上已经没有了，卖光了。上亚马逊定了之后，我怕我定的这个牌子不够好， 就又到药店里去找 Cold-Eeze 这个牌子， 买了两盒，每盒三天的量。 现在真后悔没有多买， 因为网上也没有了， 亚马逊l上抢钱的现在两盒要卖$99. 当时药店里才8块钱一盒。 更遭的是，因为我前两天嗓子痒，其中一盒已经被我吃光了。 我家里的那位就说我吃多了， 说我把库存都吃少了。 他说我太小气， 买东西太少， You need to think of months, not days. 我就是本能地不喜欢家里东西太多了， 所以买一点就满足了。
加上大蒜咖喱姜黄啥的辅佐，应该无忧了
记得GG美眉建议过家里备VC冲剂。。。
今年冬天刚开始，我就感冒了，老大建议我冬天每天喝VC，我买过一盒。不好喝，就停了。
前些日子一个同事说，他在感觉要感冒的时候，喝很多VC，会减轻症状。我就又买了几盒，和herb 茶一起喝，还可以。
也给老二一盒，她昨天才说，当年她上学的时候，冬天里好多同学都是每天一包，都信可以防感冒。
不过，和herb 茶一起还可以。Airborne 的味道还可以。它家还有chewables和gummy， 就是要吃好几粒。麻烦。
不如喝一包省事，我从来都记不得吃多种维生素。
前些日子，Emergen-C在CVS有deal。大概是流感季节快过了，还是鼓励大家囤货？
