That 'debunking' is silly really, as mentioned studies used radically lower doses (even that is understatement). Anyway, I never had common cold since I started following Pauling protocol (more precisely, never longer then a single day of mild discomfort). Its 10 years now. Taking 5-10g daily and when I sense it coming doing bowel tolerance which usually ends up somewhere between 20-50g. Before I started doing this I had it 3-5 times a year lasting usually 2 weeks. It works equally effective for my daughter. Keep in mind that you need to be on lowish carb if you want C to be effective due to the fact that one of the transporters (GLUT4) is shared with glucose. Timing is also crucial, taking it to late and it doesn't help much, it must be started on first signs of illness. I wonder why people love to hate vitamin C vs common cold that much given that C is cheaper then water, you don't have side effects and the worst thing that can happen is that it will not do anything for you. Comparably, nobody hates 8 glasses of water per day even tho there is 0 proof that you should do more then your body asks of you. Because, you know... its just water. One of the things that people often forget is that even if C does not stop common cold, it sure as hell makes complications less probable. Some of those can turn to chronic disease, such as arthritis.
