Vitamin C Eased Hives

Q. In a message on your site, the mother of a 14-year-old boy with chronic hives suggested vitamin C. I’ve been searching for a cure for hives, as they have been plaguing my husband for years now.
We can’t believe the results he has gotten within just a few days from this simple remedy. He takes 500 mg of vitamin C twice a day.
He used to get huge welts all over and scratch and itch terribly. I want to thank that mom for sharing her great information. If it weren’t for that, my husband would still be keeping me up at night and, worst of all, suffering needlessly.

A. We are always delighted when a remedy one reader has found useful also helps others.
