Vitamin c helps with Ivy reactions? I've read that you need to suppress your immune system to clear it up and that it hitches a ride on T cells and spreads throughout your body like that.

Vitamin c is an anti histamine. Posion ivy causes an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions are histamine rushes. Stop the histamine rush, stop the reaction.

2 g can reduce histamines in the blood by 40%

Last time I was sick I took 40 grams over a 24 hour period and should have taken more. So that's close to where I'd be for severe reactions.
