The varicella vaccination is effective in varicella prevention, but the incidence of HZ increases after vaccination. HZ has a stronger association with temperature and UV than with seasonality while varicella risk associated with temperature and UV is diminished.
While a majority of acute viral syndromes will rapidly resolve with properly-dosed vitamin C of any kind, resistant cases need to be subjected to a multi-pronged approach to vitamin C administration. Such a regimen can include, but not necessarily be limited to:
- 1,000 to 5,000 milligrams of liposome-encapsulated vitamin C orally daily
- Bowel tolerance doses of vitamin C as sodium ascorbate orally daily
- 1,000 to 3,000 mg daily of fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate orally daily
- Intravenous vitamin C, 25,000 to 150,000 mg per infusion, depending on body size, as frequently as daily, depending on the severity of the infection
