LOL...medical evidence, are you a doctor now?? ROFL. I guess my nursing texts and instructors are all wrong then.

If you really need to see proof, I'll gladly dig up some evidence from peer reviewed journals.


hmmm that sounds reasonable

see my last post though, I googled an article that says Vitamin C is a placebo

I genuinely would like to see anything from a peer-reviewed journal that says vitamin C has a measurable effect on fighting sicknesses and/or reducing symptoms, above and beyond the normal amount of vitamin C in a proper diet.

If it's just being used to fight vitamin deficiencies because of a poor diet then, well, that's another thing. If there's evidence that it works in other ways then please, put it up, I'd love to be able to confirm that I'm not wasting the $5 a month or whatever it's currently costing me.

I think that what you're saying is theoretically true, about affecting white blood cell counts (haven't actually checked that), but controlled tests are essentially the only accepted form of evidence in the medical community (no, I'm not a doctor, but there's about 10 of them in my immediate or next-to-immediate family).

Good, I will get some articles and then you can shut the fuck up, know-it-all.

Hey now, I can admit when I'm wrong, when I'm wrong. As for shutting up, I only do that when it's no fun to argue anymore.

It could be 7 times, I've stopped counting... Fevers, sick, coughing, blah blah blah. As soon as I'm over one, another one starts.

Am I the only one who really notices it since January?

I don't find it necessary to argue just to be right. I don't need some jackass know-it-all who thinks he knows what he's talking about simply because he's RELATED to doctors (lmfao), questioning my knowledge as a nursing student. I trust what my instructors say, and I trust what my text books tell me.

I don't have time to dig around for articles right now. I found one that's in .pdf format and I'll post it when I'm at school tomorrow.

Well, someone's got ants in her pants. I'm not questioning your knowledge as a nursing student, I just equate a higher level of credibility to practicing doctors, who also had to learn all of these things and then some. I would equate even higher credibility to peer-reviewed studies that aren't contradicted by other peer-reviewed studies, seeing as how they represent the input of many practicing doctors and medical scientists, but at this point I haven't seen any. I don't inherently trust anyone who doesn't back up their claims, whether they're a doctor, nurse, student, or university professor.

And while I'm sure you trust what your textbooks tell you, I really don't know what your textbooks tell you and what you're just assuming/extrapolating, now do I?

Besides, that wasn't what the snappy comeback was supposed to be for.

LOL...oh god. I should have known better than to acknowledge your posts!


Posted by DigiNut on Feb-21-2007 03:18:

Bahahaha, that's a perfect ending, I love it.

I'll be waiting for those studies, I'll blow you after I see them.

I have been healthy this year so far... maybe the ocational runny nose, but i dont count that. Also i havent partied or went out much this year. I think the two are positively related.
