Anything with vitamin C. The English are known as limeys because they brought large amounts of limes on board their ships, these limes had a lot of vitamin C which prevents scurvy. BTW scurvy is a vitamin deficiency, so the best treatment for any vitamin deficiency is to give the person that vitamin.
