How you know the official Corona response was never about saving lives, part 2. Vitamin D.

My previous post discussed the importance of zinc in immune function. It was really part 1 even though I didn't title it that way.

The importance of vitamin D in immune function, just like the importance of zinc, has been known for decades. What with the release of the Fauci funded lab creation of Coronavirus 2, whether accidentally or intentionally, many more studies of vitamin D and zinc have been done, and the results show the same thing. Being deficient in vitamin D is a risk with many illnesses, including Corona.

From the abstract of my first study example, with my bold and italics:

https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/23/15188

Evidence from studies in the general population suggests an association between vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency and COVID-19 susceptibility and disease severity. ….

Low vitamin D levels were detected in symptomatic but not asymptomatic COVID-19 patients compared to healthy women (p = 0.0227). In addition, 20 (45.4%) pregnant women in the mild COVID-19 group and 6 (60%) in the severe group were vitamin D deficient (p = 0.030). On the other hand, lasso regression analysis showed that 25-OH vitamin D deficiency is an independent predictor of severe COVID-19 with an odds ratio (OR) of 5.81 (95% CI: 1.108–30.541; p = 0.037). These results show the relationship between vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women and the severity of COVID-19 infection and support the recommendation to supplement with vitamin D to avoid worse COVID-19 outcomes during pregnancy.

In reading the latter part, you can see that the words “suggests” is far too weak. The correct word is “indicates”.

Moving right along:

Vitamin D deficiency has long been associated with reduced immune function that can lead to viral infection. Several studies have shown that Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased risk of infection with COVID-19. ….

In the population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills were associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection of 28% and 20%, respectively [(D3 Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.80, [95% CI 0.77, 0.83]), D2 HR = 0.72, [95% CI 0.65, 0.79]]. Mortality within 30-days of COVID-19 infection was similarly 33% lower with Vitamin D3 and 25% lower with D2 (D3 HR = 0.67, [95% CI 0.59, 0.75]; D2 HR = 0.75, [95% CI 0.55, 1.04]). We also find that after controlling for vitamin D blood levels, veterans receiving higher dosages of Vitamin D obtained greater benefits from supplementation than veterans receiving lower dosages. Veterans with Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection following supplementation. Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions with supplementation than White veterans. As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.

So just by supplementing with vitamin D3, no zinc involved, no vitamin C or anything else, ONE THIRD FEWER PEOPLE DIED!!! And the people who started out with the greatest deficiency benefited the most! Yet here again the study authors use the words “may help” in the last sentence. That tells you again how much pressure there is against challenging the big pharma narrative.

Next up, it’s not just respiratory illnesses that have better outcomes from proper vitamin D levels, and even so called high doses are not a problem:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30611908/

Vitamin D3 is a secosteroid hormone produced in the skin in amounts estimated up to 25,000 international units (IUs) a day by the action of UVB radiation on 7-dehydrocholesterol. Vitamin D deficiency is common due to both lack of adequate sun exposure to the skin, and because vitamin D is present in very few food sources. Deficiency is strongly linked to increased risk for a multitude of diseases, several of which have historically been shown to improve dramatically with either adequate UVB exposure to the skin, or to oral or topical supplementation with vitamin D. These diseases include asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, rickets and tuberculosis. All patients in our hospital have been routinely screened on admission for vitamin D deficiency since July 2011, and offered supplementation to either correct or prevent deficiency. During this time, we have admitted over 4700 patients, the vast majority of whom agreed to supplementation with either 5000 or 10,000 IUs/day. Due to disease concerns, a few agreed to larger amounts, ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 IUs/day. There have been no cases of vitamin D3 induced hypercalcemia or any adverse events attributable to vitamin D3 supplementation in any patient. Three patients with psoriasis showed marked clinical improvement in their skin using 20,000 to 50,000 IUs/day. Analysis of 777 recently tested patients (new and long-term) not on D3 revealed 28.7% with 25-hydroxyvitaminD3 (25OHD3) blood levels < 20 ng/ml, 64.1% < 30 ng/ml, a mean 25OHD3 level of 27.1 ng/ml, with a range from 4.9 to 74.8 ng/ml. Analysis of 418 inpatients on D3 long enough to develop 25OHD3 blood levels > 74.4 ng/ml showed a mean 25OHD3 level of 118.9 ng/ml, with a range from 74.4 to 384.8 ng/ml. The average serum calcium level in these 2 groups was 9.5 (no D3) vs 9.6 (D3), with ranges of 8.4 to 10.7 (no D3) vs 8.6 to 10.7 mg/dl (D3), after excluding patients with other causes of hypercalcemia. The average intact parathyroid hormone levels were 24.2 pg/ml (D3) vs. 30.2 pg/ml (no D3). In summary, long-term supplementation with vitamin D3 in doses ranging from 5000 to 50,000 IUs/day appears to be safe.

This time the abstract is longer than the other two studies, and this time I included the whole thing because it’s all relevant. Read it two or three times If you need to. Here are the key points:

1. Vitamin D deficiency is STRONGLY linked to many diseases.

2. Many diseases improve DRAMATICALLY with sun exposure and/or D supplementation.

3. Thousands of patients got D supplements, yet none suffered any adverse events from the D. Compare this to the adverse events from the “vaccines”.

4. A large majority of people not taking supplements are deficient in D.

5. Even at blood levels well above the claimed “optimum range”, there were no problems with hypercalcemia.

Study four is here:

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/23/5029

In this study they used a vitamin combo of C, D, and zinc, and they used rather small “doses” of each compared to recommendations. For D they only used 2,000 IU, which isn’t even half the lowest level they used in the previous D only study. And it’s only 5% of the max level used.

For vitamin C they only used 500 mg. While that’s about all I ever take with C, most doctors who believe C is beneficial will recommend a minimum of 1,000 mg, and many will suggest 2,000 to 5,000 if you can tolerate those higher levels without bowel symptoms. For zinc this study only used 20 mg, and the only potency I’ve been able to find in local Walmart stores is 50 mg, and 50 mg is what I take each day.

Perhaps the most interesting finding noted in the study is that eating foods said to be rich in these three ingredients did NOT seem to help:

However, increased uptake of vitamin C and vitamin D-enriched foods was not significantly associated with a reduced rate of infection…

Taking them as supplements is a different story:

The impacts of the increased as well as unbothered dietary and supplementary intakes of vitamins and minerals as medicines were both observed. Vitamin C was prescribed and taken as a vitamin C 500 mg tablet one time per day, vitamin D was taken as cholecalciferol (D3) 2000 IU single tablet per day, and zinc was taken as zinc sulfate monohydrate 20 mg single tablet per day. After controlling for the confounding variables (sex, hospitalization and health facility), the logistic regression analysis revealed that the uptake of vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc as medicine was significant to reduce the risk of infection among the participants (OR: 0.006, (95% CI: 0.03–0.11) (p = 0.004)). Vitamin uptake as medication was associated with the reduction in infection among the participants.

Perhaps it is simply the case that it is difficult to get adequate quantities through diet alone. In any event this finding deals a serious blow to the anti-vitamin/anti-supplement mantra where a healthy diet is all you need. Of course the VAST majority of people on this planet do NOT get anywhere near an optimum diet.

I’ll finish with one of the many bits of advice from doctors. Do a search with a non left wing option such as Metager and you’ll easily find many of these. You’ll find them with far left wing evil fascist Google* too, but you’ll need to scroll down through more results and you’ll need to overlook dozens of big pharma shill links that downplay or even deny the importance of getting the proper vitamins and minerals.

The story is from 2 years ago prior to the “vaccines” being available, and is found here:

https://www.fox26houston.com/news/studies-suggest-4-vitamins-to-prevent-severe-cases-of-covid-19

After dozens of studies have recently shown the importance of Vitamin D when fighting COVID-19, Dr. Peter Osborne with Origins Nutrition Center suggests, you consider a blood test to check your vitamin levels. ….

So far, here's what we know: people with low vitamin D who get COVID have a greater tendency toward dying, have a greater tendency toward hyper-inflammation in the cytokine storm that comes with COVID, and have a greater tendency toward getting on ventilators, which are very bad because ventilators don't work very well for COVID. When a person's on a ventilator with COVID it's not a good thing. So, the outcomes aren't great, so if we can keep people off of ventilators and we can keep their immune system supported really well with nutrition, that ideally that makes the most sense…

He also says the most recent studies show that nine out of 10 COVID-19 deaths could be prevented if people had adequate Vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D in our bodies often goes down in the wintertime, because fewer people are outside and not soaking it up from the sun. You need at least 20 minutes of sunlight every day to get an adequate amount, which is why a supplement is often needed to get to a healthy level.

Some hospitals around the country are even using vitamins as a treatment for COVID-19, not just prevention.

Think about that “9 out of 10 deaths could have been prevented” for a bit. Even if it’s only 6 out of 10, that’s the majority of deaths. Also note how “ventilators don’t work very well”, and ponder all that B.S. early on from left wingers like Andrew Cuomo blaming Trump for there not being enough ventilators. In truth ventilators were and still are a death sentence for most people with Corona, so they never should have been pushed at all.

The article goes on to mention much, MUCH higher levels of vitamin D for a short time:

With vitamin D, there's a therapy that can be done that I recommend, and it's 1000 international units (IU) of vitamin D per pound. So if you're 100 pounds, you would take 100,000 international units of vitamin D for three days. After that, you don't have to keep taking those higher doses, but three days of high dose vitamin D will elevate your serum vitamin D levels to adequate levels," states Dr. Osborne.

If you have a condition called sarcoidosis – Dr. Osborne says this many vitamins would not be safe for you.

I suggest checking out the whole article. If the link between vitamins, minerals, and disease is at all new to you, or if you’re at all skeptical, take the time to do your own additional reading. It may save your life.

* When I put all those negative adjectives in front of “Google” I’m not kidding. Not one iota. Google is one of the most evil companies on the planet, staffed with thousands of anti-American, anti-truth, full on evil fascists that would have happily worked as minions of Hitler in the range of 80 years ago. Never, ever, forget this. And never delude yourself into thinking that their leftism isn’t infused into everything that they do.
