I caught a video about vitamin D3 (20M units a day) being a natural steroidal anti-inflammatory.
Any info on that?
Its NOT unclear as the article says.
Vitamin D is a master hormone that affects and works on 29,000 genes in the human body.
Its so important we make it by exposure to sunlight. Because its used by so, so many processes in the body.
We all need 15 minutes a day in sunshine WITHOUT sunscreen. That should do the trick (longer if in northern states like MN or ND etc).
So I should get sun at least 15 minutes a day
Big Med's just having all kinds of revelations, ain't they?
It is important to note this study was done in UK, which uses the measure for blood Vitamin D as bmol/L (nanomol per liter). In the US we use the measure ngm/mL (nanograms per mililiter). In comparieng studies in the US with those overseas divide nmol/L by 2.5 to get ngm/mL. Thus 25 nmol/L equals 10 ngm/mL. According to US govt authorities this is a dividing line between deficient and severely deficient. The 50 nmol/L figure equals 20 ngm/mL. US authorities consider this the dividing line between deficient and normal. US endochrine professionals consider this figure is too low. They consider figures between 20 ngm/ml and and 29 ngm/mL as insufficient. And 30 ngm/mL and above as normal. My health provider Kaiser Permanente considers between 50 and 80 ngm/mL as OPTIMUM.
The study below performed in Turkey and published Nov. 2021 Was valuable for several reasons. First of all it used the original Dr. Zelenko 3 part early Covid treatment of zinc, HCQ and Azithromycin. It added Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C in 2 strengths. A gram (1000 mg) a day of C for the controls, and much higher amount of C given IV (intravenously) for test subjects. The goal was to see if IV C would reduce time spent in the hospital. It did, spectacularly, compared with $3000 a treatment Remdesivir.

Then the doctors examined the blood tests given to study participiants before the trial began. They were ASTONISHED to discover that NOT ONE patient had an optimum level of blood Vitamin D. They were using the relatively low figure of 30 ngm/mL (75 nmol/L) or more as their measure of OPTIMUM. Only 3 of almost 240 subjects were insufficient, and the rest divided between deficient and very deficient. The one person who died had 3 ngm/mL.
Thus I think it is very reasonable to say, test your blood, talk with your doctor, and get your BLOOD VITAMIN D LEVEL TO THE OPTIMUM LEVEL. This should make it unlikely you will end up in a hospital. At weight 145 lbs, and 18 months of taking 2000 IU of D in summer, and increasing gradually to 5000 IU the 4 winter months, when KP tested me I was in the OPtIMUM range at 66 ngm/mL.
That’s because they don’t get enough sun.
That’s why they look all pasty except for the ragheads
I’m taking big amounts of vitamin D. I’ve taken many different supplements, D has been the biggest bang for the buck.
Read later.
Does sitting in a chair right beside a closed window while on the computer mean anything?
Thanks.

Association between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 infection and mortality
Interesting side note...
After the lockdown ended I got in for an annual physical. Got to the lab for my usual bloodwork and found that, for the first time in my life, a Vitamin D level test was on it. Never had one done before. Didn't ask for it. Wasn't having any issues. Asked my doc and never got an explanation for why the test was ordered. Mine was fine, BTW.
Here's what I would like to know: After March of 2020, has there been seen at any time an increase in Vitamin D level tests ordered in the US? If so, when, how many, by whom, for whom...
What did Deep State, Big Med, Big Pharma know and when did they know it?
And Rand Paul, why the hell aren't you curious? Cat got yer tongue...?
The problem with Vitamin D is that it is cheap (as a supplement) or free (as in sunlight).
Anything cheap can’t be effective, right? /s
