Covid and Vitamin D

I came across this the other day and wondered if anyone else had seen it?
Credible medical studies are presented......


Our local doctor came to visit my mother this week and the first thing he asked was if we were both taking vitamin D?
If doctors know that vitamin D is advantageous in helping to bolster immunity, to help resistance to the virus, and to lessen the symptoms of C19 if we do contract it....why aren't we being told? Its a simple thing surely....?
I'm always skeptical about someone claiming a silver bullet
that's being kept secret from us. Hydroxychloroquine was
one miracle cure. Then bleach. There's always something.
Best to let some research be done by multiple parties, &
then see what works.

Who could not like the Beatitudes Christian or not.
:) Beautiful, I love Christian chanting

Religious people better sing instead of fight. Then we would have Peace on Earth very soon

I spend 10 years in an Ashram in India. Devotional singing was a major part, I loved it
I like below mantra to overcome fear "Sri Narasimha Bija Mantra | ABHAYAM"

We have been told, repeatedly, for over a year. There have been countless stories about it.

In the UK vulnerable people were even given free Vit D supplements to take.
Then you are getting better advice than Aussies are.....I have not heard any mention of vitamin D for help in building immunity to C19.....except in passing from the family doctor, and he never mentioned Covid except to encourage vaccination.

Never take health advice from a vain orange chimp....though he seemed to recover very well from the malady he didn’t think was real, or needed a mask for......:oops:

You literally quoted an example of you being told. :cool:
I am talking about mainstream media. We are bombarded with Covid and vaccines all day long on our TV screens......but little to no mention of the things that increase the risk of this virus gaining ground....such as low Vitamin D levels poor vitamin and mineral intake, and obesity being apparently high on the list.....then autoimmune problems and other chronic health disorders. Those who are left with chronic health problems after C19 is initially over, usually have unidentified underlying issues, or are left with autoimmune problems as a result. A crippled immune system is hard to repair.

There are numerous conditions that can complicate recovery from covid, but none of them get even close to getting one of the vaccines according to the research and the medical reports.

You rely on the WHO and the CDC to tell you the truth? Sorry but I have no faith in either. Big Pharma has deep pockets and there are many who find a place in them. The health system who produces and recommends the vaccines, dictates to them both. That to me means that the fox is in charge of the hen house....


That was an interesting article, but again what is the harm of taking more Vitamin D if it helps your immune system. We need all the help we can get.....don't we?

Why do some get Covid that brings them near death, whilst others barely know they have it?
It was stated in the article that those who were worst affected by Covid had low Vitamin D levels......

"Aurora Baluja, an anaesthesiologist and critical care doctor in Spain" . . . .stated that "vitamin D deficiency was a "well-established risk factor" among people who die in intensive care". There is a clear correlation between Vitamin D and survival indicated there.....so why not recommend taking supplements? How can it hurt?

True

Money and Power rule the world, hence they rather censor other things. It's as simple as that. Hence I don't trust those imposing coronavirus vaccines and what not
Regarding vitamin D, and vitamin C, and other supplements we can take. Yes, of course it’s nice to take a reasonable (but not overdose) amount of these items.
General healthiness has been shown to allow one who is infected with Covid to have a higher chance of recovering after being infected. Many studies have already proven this. In particular not being obese and not having any pre-existing heart or lung damage makes your chances of surviving the Covid infection much better.

However, the improvements seen in the various studies are only a matter of coming into the range of significance. i.e. After you have gotten this infection, instead of having a 3% chance of dying (average)….if you have been eating right and getting your vitamin supplements or ….let’s say…receiving Ivermectin treatments….then you now have an average chance of death all the way down at 2.8% or even 2.6% of death.
Note that these studies find it hard to see statistical differences between the “treated” and non-treated. But there does seem to be some positive effects. Yay!! :) Truly.
But still, if you are over 75 years old, are obese, and/or have COPD, then your chance of death after you’ve been infected is as high as 10%. :(

On the other hand (assuming you don’t buy into the unfounded conspiracy theory that all of the research scientists around the globe are part of some sinister and greedy cabal of uncaring and hate-filled monsters)**, if you get the vaccine (particularly the Pfizer and Moderna versions), then your chance of getting an active infection in the first place, even if an infected person coughs in your face while you’re inhaling goes from approaching 100% to a percent in the single digits at best (these studies are also still ongoing).
But more importantly, if you are not obese or very elderly (I.e. you’re in average health), then as a vaccinated person, your chance of death is nigh zero %, and even spending time in a hospital is also nearly zippo. :):)



** I mean, just LOOK at them. So clearly bought out and malign! Never have you seen such a heinous den of corruption and villainy.

According to those around him (other than his doctor) it was worse than what was projected. His oxygen levels were said to drop low enough to need oxygen a couple times, he was lying down to try to make breathing easier, and him going to the hospital was for necessary observation because he was already that bad (his age, weight, diet, and lack of exercise probably also weighed heavily in getting him to a hospital).

That's most ailments, surgery recoveries, and health in general. Kind of a given that we can generally expect those in better health to have better chances against covid.
But I wouldn't relly on that alone. Even young, healthy people with no known preexisting conditions have fallen severely ill and have died.

True, if you are not already in trouble (obese, elderly, average health), then when vaccinated, you are quite safe is my experience. That's how it worked with all my vaccinations I had thus far. Vaccinations work "miracles". Without vaccination I always got sick, with vaccination I did not get sick

Precisely.

Be careful with anything that claims to boost your immune system. It just might work.

Remember that your immune system involves things like fever, inflammation, and of course mucus. Do you want to increase these things? And by how much?

Just do your research and think carefully.
