It’s mostly sugar and large doses of Vit C has only only been shown to improve immunity in very specific circumstances. It’s not likely to do much and certainly no reason to take it every day

I take it at least 2-3 times a week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ costco bulk purchase lol

They make a sugar free one! And there are actually many studies on mega doses of C showing incredible results, you would need too many packets tho to actually get a megadose, just plain C capsules can do the trick

funny

I would urge you to start with research on studies done by Frederick Klenner and R. Vargas-Magne before making any concrete statements

Yes, you can take it every day. Like most placebos, it’s pretty harmless.

Hi All,
Just want your suggestion on this to help me decide.
I've been working in QA team for big data project and recently I've got offers from Startup and service based MNC as data engineer for the role of Data Engineer.
I've not worked on the actual development of ETL batches till now but I want to learn and grow gradually.

What kind of organisation would be best for me considering my mental health as well because I take too much stress ?

Thanks 🙏

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

Have you ever felt uncomfortable treating a patient? I don't feel unsafe, and the patient isn't making me uncomfortable physically or anything, I am just seriously disturbed by the discussions we're having about what they're going through. I've been working at this hospital 4 years and this is the first time this has ever happened. Is it wrong to consider asking for a transfer?
