DWQA QuestionsCategory: Healing ModalitiesVitablosom offers a supplement that is a liquid formulation of Liposomal Vitamin C. It contains 2000mg in a 2 ml volume. It seems like that would be enough volume to swish around the teeth and gums, and could be added to an equal volume of water if more convenient or necessary to soften the taste. Would using this supplement daily be an effective way to get enough topical antiviral activity to counteract viral gum disease significantly?

You are finding an excellent supportive measure for those unable or unwilling to take the full Antiviral Regimen, with or without the three-week course of prescription antivirals we have recommended in response to your questions, and getting a clean-out for chronic virus infections. In the case of gum disease of viral origin, the problem is, indeed, local at the outset; although, as you have received confirmation from us, it can spread body-wide and take root in more than one additional location if left for too long without countermeasures. So this can be highly effective, it is a question of user preference and diligence to keep it in place long enough to reduce the severity of provocation caused by viruses with immune responses. And that is when the true damage begins, from immune counterattack more so than actions of the virus particles themselves. So, the exposure needed will vary as a function of particular viral strain differences and the state of the illness itself and how far advanced and deeply penetrating it might be. There are many variables given people's personal habits, their schedule, how frequently they will be taking fluids and food orally, which will dilute and flush away the vitamin C in solution coating the gums. So, it is a question of coverage and duration as to how effective and consistent the benefits will prove to be in individual circumstances, among the many other variables. So there needs to be some thought given to this to ensure there is a persistence of the topical vitamin C for as much of the day as possible. That certainly argues for nightly application, without any further oral intake before bed. So at least overnight there will be vitamin C in residence coating the gums and that is the most important element in tipping the balance in your favor. But this is a very worthwhile avenue to take and will be of value to your dear wife for her long-standing struggle with gum disease.
