Did you notice that the article did not even list milk as a source of vitamin D ?

[[[All the cases were mild and the worst symptoms were a slightly scratchy throat for a couple of days and a stuffy head for about 4-5 days after. I’ve had far worse colds.]]]

The amount of people who have had it and never knew it must be incredible by now.

Milk is extremely low in vitamin D.

Also do a saline nasal rinse at least once a day.

“My personal limit is 3000 IU daily without experiencing hypercalcemia.”

Mine is somewhere above 5,000. I also take vitamin K.

“Vitamin D promotes the production of vitamin K-dependent proteins, which require vitamin K for carboxylation in order to function properly. The purpose of this review is to summarize available evidence of the synergistic interplay between vitamins D and K on bone and cardiovascular health....Current evidence supports the notion that joint supplementation of vitamins D and K might be more effective than the consumption of either alone for bone and cardiovascular health.”

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5613455/

“No strong evidence proves that moderate amounts of vitamin D are harmful without an adequate intake of vitamin K. However, research is ongoing, and the picture might become clearer in the near future.”

There was an old dairy farmer in the small town I grew up in that they put on a low cholesterol diet at 90 years old. It was probably good for him because every day he would drive as far into town as he could without a license and walk to the local diner and have his hotcakes and eggs with lots of butter. Bob Mac would make him anything he wanted but his wife wouldn’t. 😀

If that happens to be what I’m eating, yes. I add it to every meal.

That’s interesting and it could be true.

I am a big believer in keeping your protein up....and all those foods have plenty of protein. The trick is of course not eating until you’re gonna bust...unless you want to weigh 300 lbs..

"I’m 77. Still drink whole milk...with good stuff like oatmeal, tuna and noodles, tomato soup...and try to get out every day. Sunny or overcast, you still get the Vit D. We’re not talking sun bathing....we’re talking 10 minutes."

Me too.

But, I also take 10,000 IU of vitamin-D and 100mcg of vitamin-K daily and take a 'high-speed' one mile walk daily.

I’ve been taking D for years, so I hope I was ahead of the game. So was my daughter who lives with me.. I also check my temperature every morning. I’m elderly and at high risk, altho am in good health.

You need more than just Vitamin D. It takes a cocktail of several supplements. See Marik Protocol.

Take it with food. It absorbs better with fat.

Re vitamin K with D3. What would be a good dosage? K is in my regular adult multi-vitamin, but it might not be enough. Thanks for the tip!

At this time of year being in the sun doesn’t help unless you are very far to the South.

Vitamin D is added to whole milk just like any other milk to help with absorbing the calcium.

It would make sense with the other two gifts. Natural products with medicinal uses were probably as valuable as gold. And all three came from the east.

I love the meaning one can give to it: all the gifts were healing gifts, and more important than wealth.

Makes one wonder what the Magi had been told, about the child being born.

Too much protein can tax the digestive system too, but you need enough in your diet on a regular basis for good brain function.

Along with coffee of course.
