i think taking the Vit D had like around a 19% calming effect on the out of control Cytokine storm reaction if i recall right-

19% doesn’t sound like a lot- but it kinda is- Chemo mop up treatments are only around 5-7% effective in ‘cleaning up’ left over cancer cells- but doctors always recommend it- i guess only because the person taking it won’t have to think in their mind later if cancer comes back that they didn’t do everything [possible to try to combat it- When combating something deadly- you want to throw everything at it you can for the best possible chance to beat it- at least most people do

The extraskeletal actions of vitamin D are legion as befits a molecule (1,25(OH)2D, the active metabolite of vitamin) whose receptor is found in nearly all cells, many of which also contain the enzyme (CYP27B1) that can produce 1,25(OH)2D in the same cell. Indeed, thousands of cellular and animal studies indicate that vitamin D signaling has a profound effect on most physiologic processes, including cancer prevention, improved cardiovascular function, diabetes prevention, prevention of obesity, improved muscle function, enhanced barrier function of the skin, hair follicle cycling, and prevention of immune related diseases. Indeed, association studies in humans have linked vitamin D deficiency to diseases resulting from disruption of these physiologic processes. However, large RCTs that clearly demonstrate the promising potential of vitamin D in the prevention and treatment of these diseases have either not been done or have produced mixed results. Part of the problem relates to lack of pharmaceutical support for large RCTs involving a drug (i.e., vitamin D) that cannot be patented, or the inability to give high enough doses of the active metabolite or its analogs to get an effect without serious side effects, such as hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. However, several large government supported RCTs are ongoing and the results from which are eagerly awaited.
