OK.
The question remains why it is not standard orders from medical personnel for just about every person to get their blood levels of vitD up in the range of about 75 ng/mL. It is a no-brainer, not just for flu and cv19, but also for cancer.
AAP once said that ~75% of children were vitD deficient. How do they know this? And if so, why not make the blood test both annual and standard? I understand the Scandinavians do this.
There simply is NO reason not to encourage D3 and K2 for every man, woman and child and to verify that it is working. Except that is will reduce illness and disease and take money out of the pockets of Pharma.
I rail against Pharma not because they have no value. They obviously do. One cannot treat emergency conditions and trauma with a multivitamin or Co-Q10. I do because they obviously would rather ppl be sick and ignorant than healthy and well-informed. Health care should not be big business, for the most part. But it is what it has become. And cv19 was the most extreme illustration. Horrifying, actually. I hope the predictions from those on my side end up being very wrong.
You’re not a murderer, personally. I assume. You cannot help that you are an allopathic MD. Vx in conventional medicine is religion. I dealt with ex-inlaws extensively on these matters. Ego and arrogance go hand-in-hand with many professions, but the power of life and death seems to make it more extreme in MDs.
75 ng/mL for D3 when I got my blood test 6 months ago. I think I am 85 now and will get another blood test soon.

Thanks I appreciate what you said. I don’t disagree with some of what you said. Yes I am an allopath so I take an organ based approach. Early mom in covid I said iwe spent all of half a day in medical school on vitamins and nutrition. I did revise my treatment and i actually to check D levels on most people i have and still give zinc and vitamin D to most of my critically ill. I might take a little exception with K because it is procoaguable and often disease buts you in a prothrombotic state. I do use vitamin C in the acutely ill as well
Yea big pharmacy is quite a business and their offering is extending life so easy to fall into certain shall we say noncritical thinking pathways. That being said I also know R&D for new drugs is incredibly expensive so the margins are pretty tight occasionally. If we want to have the best meds all through life the there is a trade off in terms of sales to promote R&D.
There is no doubt that some of my brethren are shills and use their rifle to promote expensive crap. Personally I am pretty cheap. I always looks for the best and then where there are Multiple choices I then give the cheapest.
You are also correct about medicine should be local. I fight city hall everyday about just taking the right care of the patient. If you do this everything else falls into line. Unfortunately I think the most evil ever perpetrated on the health care system was the advent of nonclinical administrators. They just don’t get it. However if my brethren weren’t to some degree greedy POS then we would have taken care of our profession instead of abdicating our leadership role within it. That’s why docs are now employed and not autonomous. It’s. Or so much the state boards although there was some of that in covid which was scary to me. It’s the fact that lazy and very mediocre MDs chose to become employees of losers systems and the minute they did that, they lost autonomy.
Because I am not an employee of a system, there really isn’t much they can do if i engage in a treatment course that is off label. The thing that keeps me in line there (the check and balance I suppose) is that if I do something crazy it’s the malpractice tort that I have to answer instead of getting dragged into some idiot administrator and told what I can and cannot do if I wish to remain employed
Anyway, I have learned a lot from covid. Including the horror of seeing some very mind numbed mediocre employees simply toe the line in terms of medicine instead of doing what we are supposed to do — ask questions, modify treatment plans based on what we are seeing and taking care of a patient instead of a metric.
The vax shills are acting like receiving the Covid vax is the natural order for life and living until suddenly one day a bunch of conspiracy theorists showed up and started questioning something people had been safely doing for thousands of years until a bunch of kooks decided it was not safe after all.
In reality, the natural order of things is to let your immune system take care of immunity and do what you can to prevent the illness from taking a bad turn. The vax is a manufactured bioweapon imposed on us under duress by those who do not have our best interests at heart.
