Dr. Rhonda Patrick on Joe Rogan podcast. Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses interesting data about Vitamin D and COVID 19.
The data around vitamin D should raise eyebrows and it meshes with something that was discovered during the Spanish flu outbreak.
They discovered patients had better outcomes on average if they were kept outside as opposed to inside. The assumption then was fresh air was cleaner and the reason, but may have been the boosted vitamin D was the cause for the noticed improvements in outcomes
If you don’t spend any time outside...
I take Vit D3, K2, and zinc.
Wow, that is 200,000 times the RDA and about 500 times the toxic level! Hope you're doing OK ...
Note that around 60% of the continental USA is above 37° North latitude.
We have a Doc friend who is a well known immunologist/allergist. He has been preaching about Vitamin D for 3-4 years. He takes 50,000 I.U. twice a week. You must take it with some form of fat to increase absorption. He tests every patient who goes to his office. Every single ( POC) person of color who he has tested has been deficient in Vitamin D, some severely so. He has had a few patients who have tested positive for Covid all are asymptomatic, all were on D before the virus.
That RDA is garbage...
Now you tell me.
Never have a pandemic in an election year. /semi-sarc
Have people seen Laura Ingraham’s last evening (Wed. 7-15-20) air time questioning masks?
The Truth Behind Wearing Masks
I am still questioning if some people have gotten virus from their own masks which they probably handle with contaminated hands and probably don't regularly soap-and-water their masks. Their underwear might be cleaner than mask in my non-expert opinion.
Other mask analysis mentions that cloth masks don’t cover the eyes like shield masks do, the eyes a possible entry point for virus.
I’m hearing more and more that the packaging that masks come in not only say “Made in China,” but also say not proven to stop transmission of virus. (Why don't they at least say reduces risk of getting infected with virus?)
“Orange Man Bad,” desperate Democrats have arguably weaponized masks to try to get rid of PDJT. “Trump owns the virus!"
Noting that vitamin D3 disappeared off the store shelves like toilet paper did when lockdowns started, people need to start building an inventory of vitamin D3, vitamin C too, for next winter in my non-medical opinion, particularly artificial lighting urbanites.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
Oh. We didn’t have to do that ?!?
Um, well.
Can I haz it back ?!?
Two nightly gin and tonics - natural source of Quinine as in hydrochloroquine.
Yes! I take 10,000 of D & 50mg minimum of Zinc...
For over 20 years.
NO issues!
I am for everything but a full lockdown.
Costco has a large bottle of Calcium, Magnesium, D3 and Zinc supplements. I take 2 daily.
How much B12 do you take for tinnitus? I think I’ll give it a try.
“If you don’t spend any time outside...”
True, but that’s one of several variables that affect serum levels (and occasional exposure to a limited area of the body will not produce therapeutic levels). Testing in many sunny climates, surprisingly including those near the equator, has shown widespread Vitamin D deficiency. Of course, the definition of the “right” level is also a factor in the discussion. “Modern” medicine says at least 20 ng/ml of (OH)D, while many researchers say at least 50 ng/ml.
Have you ever had the flu?
” In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with the vitamin D hammer, as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50 000 IU dose of vitamin D3 or 10 000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours.”
I’ve done this for flu and it is knocked out within 2-3 days. Few symptoms.
Exactly what did with covid. Gone in 2.5 days. Added nebulizer with Respiratory Relief for two days. Gone.
Over 40 Years ago while in the Army, taking a Flu Shot was mandatory. So, one year when I took the Flu Shot, I promptly got the Flu. It wasn’t fun. Since then, I never took a Flu Shot again, AND I haven’t had the Flu since then.
