“Don’t read this book if you want someone else to think for you. Do read this book if you want to think for yourself. If you were in any doubt about media propaganda or bias, this book arms you with the facts to make the choice for yourself and your family. The information in this book is just what we ALL need right now. Patrick shows us the overwhelming truth about what these simple, inexpensive but nonetheless essential nutrients can do for supporting our immunity. But it’s not just about a single vitamin. You’ll learn it’s about a team of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants & plant extracts with which we have evolved to provide synergistic immune support and to combat viral infections. What a difference they make!”
Antony Haynes, Nutritional Therapist, Functional Medicine Practitioner/teacher/author.

“This expert deep dive into the inner workings of vitamin C explains why claims it is a natural defender against viruses such as COVID-19 make perfect sense. They have been long dismissed as quackery. Time for ill-informed sceptics to line up for humble pie. Listening out for sound of trucks piled with vitamin C to start trundling to hospitals around the country.”
