You know, this brings back memories. Years ago, a doctor prescribed an antiviral for my son (amantadine), hoping it may help him. Instead, it worsened his livido reticularis and I saw that this side-effect was not uncommon for amantadine. Livido reticularis is often a sign of vascular inflammation, and I do not believe it should be taken lightly. Too many of us end up with blood clots, phlebitis, antiphospholipid syndrome, etc. My response to ANTIoxidants (when I was especially sick) was undeniable. Vitamin C is critical, of course, and I found N-acetyl cysteine to be especially helpful. I had to hit it hard for about a month and found dietary antioxidants to be insufficient. After some help with antioxidant supplements, what a change! So at the risk of beating a dead horse 😉 again I would caution everyone about the risks of oxidation (such as ozone), and the vascular and tissue inflammation and blood clots that can result from these proposed treatments. I’m a believer in ANTIoxidants because of my dramatic personal response, and because of the vast amount of research out there. It all makes sense when I look back at it all now. Gentle hugs…
