It seems like I'm always sick, the past few months I have had spinal meningitis, strep throat, then a sinus infection, then bronchitis and another sinus infection now! What the deal? I've been taking vit c for the past week, but i still got a sinus infections somehow!

Your immune system is down due to all the infections you have had. Bacteria looks for a chance to invade your body and it's had the perfect one with you. Keep taking the vitamin c and get plenty of rest.

Research has shown that Vit C only works if it has Echinacea and Zinc with it. My local Henry's or Wholesale Foods have this combination all in one disolvable pill.
Only take it every 4 hours though because the zinc can make you feel weird if taken too much.
Try exercising, take your multivitamins, and get a Juiceman Juicer with a recipe book to juice immune boosting drinks!

Vitamin C will not cure anything, but that doesn't mean you should stop taking it because Vit C is generally very beneficial. What you need to do is talk all this stuff out with your doctor. It seems that your immune system is under-functioning.

that happened to me. i missed over 24 days of school last year.
i would have toncilitis atleast 3 times a month..
after going to the doctor about 6 times .. they decided that i should get my toncills out.
my surgeon said those were the worse toncills he ever saw.. they were full of bacteria. i know that sounds gross haha.
so maybe you should have your's checked outt.
