Strangely, this does not appear related to calcium “hard” plaques. No calcium scan (CT or Ultrasound) was performed.

It was in a group of people unlikely to have calcium, due to age.

So it appears Vitamin D helped either with removing soft plaques or with the innate flexibility of the vessels, regardless of plaque formation.

It looks like we definitely need to supplement with more than 600 IUs, which was so little that it increased stiffness.

I suspect vitamin D deficiency is a much bigger problem than previously realized, and not just for black people. I have been taking 2-3000 IU for three years and have not been ill once.

Vitamin D deficiency is also a big risk factor for severe covid.

Another sign of Fauci’s malfeasance is his failure to inform and educate the public about Vitamin D3 supplements

Ironically, vitamin D production from sunlight is actually related to skin color. Are we sure it’s not culture?

" more than six times the daily 600 IUs the Institute of Medicine currently recommends for most adults and children -- received the most benefit."

The FDA always recommends concentration camp ration amounts of vital nutrients. Good for business.

.

"Sensible sun exposure, especially between the hours of 10:00 am and 3:00 pm produces vitamin D in the skin that may last twice as long in the blood compared with ingested vitamin D. [4] If sun exposure produces slight pinkness, the amount of vitamin D produced in response to exposure of the full body is equivalent to ingesting 10,000-25,000 IU."

Vit D3 is being recognized as more important every day:

Vit D3 helps with chronic urticaria (hives) - dose is 4,000 IU daily. I have this issue - take 5K daily. This usually keeps hives away, but if they do occur, another 10K generally resolves the issue without an antihistamine.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dr. Zelenko recommends 5,000 IU daily for his COVID prohylaxis protocol.

The Vit D “Hammer” -
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4463890/

” 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. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.8 We urgently need a study of this intervention. The cost of vitamin D is about a penny for 1000 IU, so this treatment costs less than a dollar.”

There is always a lot of discussion about how much vitamin D (D3) people take. However, the amount a person takes is not the issue. The issue is what is the vitamin D level in your blood?

We need to supplement with whatever amount we need in order to maintain an optimal vitamin D level. A person who is very deficient may need to take large amounts to build up the vitamin D level in his/her blood. Someone who is mildly deficient may be able to bring the level to optimal by supplementing at a lower level.

I supplemented with 5000 IU per day for several years. Finally I got my doctor to have my blood level checked. I discovered that I was STILL borderline low! My wife and I are now taking 10,000 IU per day (when not out in the sun for prolonged periods), and our levels are optimal. (BTW, we are elderly, we are not sick, and haven't been sick for years).

Is Vitamin-D racist?

Why doesn’t it rapidly reduce arterial stiffness in overweight/obese, vitamin-deficient white folks too?

Blacks have by far America’s worst diet. That puts them in extreme disadvantage when they get sick with things like Covid, flu, bronchitis, COPD, etc. They have by far the highest rates of heart disease, diabetes, etc. SO MUCH of how long you will live and your quality of life is just what you eat.
