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.”
I’ve done the vitamin D Hammer twice.
Worked both times.

Thank you so much for this! I have had been having trouble with hives during the summer and fall for 3 or 4 years now and it has been an embarrassing mess, intense random itching.
