Pat, vitamin C is good, but respiratory issues are nearly always associated with low glutathione, the body's master antioxidant and detoxifier that also functions to recycle spent vitamin C and other antioxidants. What this means to you is that you can continue to use the relatively low vitamin C doses you are now with increased benefit, as all of the vitamin C you do take can be used many times.
The research has been there for many years. The lungs are the third biggest users of low glutathione, and even people with COPD respond remarkably well. Been there, done that, several times. I mention this because even when all the other antioxidants are adequate, glutathione depletion results in illness, increased infection, cancer, and degeneration or even death, and is depletion is incredibly common. Glutathione is made from dietary precursors that are very plentiful in cold-processed whey and in trace amounts in most raw food. Sometimes inadequate nitric acid production is an issue but it's nearly always low glutathione. Cold-procesed whey supplies nitric acid prcursors as wel as glutathione precursors. My reference section provides some very interesting studies and a long list of links into the references on PubMed.
