I knew going fishing had to be good for something!
So, how much vitamin D? I take 50,000 units twice a week.
We’ve known this about respiratory viruses and vitamin D3 blood serum levels for a long time.
Obese people have lower blood levels of vitamin D, since it is fat soluble. There is more storage area for vitamin D, so less circulates.
Obesity is also connected with blood sugar issues and diabetes, all of which are connected to covid risks.
You can take too much D which causes calcium issues. It is suggested you supplement D3 with K2. Best to get your blood level and adjust accordingly.
Also, there is the “D hammer” which is 30,000 units or 10,000 units 12 hrs apart x3. It saved my bacon back in 2020 when something hit me like a ton of bricks.
I am not a doctor, the above is synthesized from the many threads on the subject. Do your own research.
Also note that the D mentioned in the article is part of the MATH+ Protocol.
We take 4,000 units of D3 daily with K2 and zinc.
Vitamin D deficiency, obesity, and diabetes.
The CCP/CDC/WHO are not incorporating these pre-morbidities into their statistics. The proletariat can’t be trusted with this information.
K2+D3 is better, it’s one pill - plus take zinc.
Vitamin D is a miracle vitamin. I have been taking daily doses religiously since reading about it after mom died of pancreatic cancer. I add zinc with it now to help ward off any covid cooties.

In other words... Go Outside!
Good article, thanks for posting.
Truth: you can be religious about keeping your vitamin d above 70 in bloodstream in winter (it takes for me about 5000iu a day for that test result) or during this covid thing, and still get quite ill with covid.
I did. I’m very healthy, work out, eat right. I was great on my supplements, especially D3 k and mag. Still got this thing. 13.5 days after exposure to it.
However, my doc said I could take 10,000 to 20,000 IU a day of d once I was sick, which I did, and only one week did I have the fever and pain. The second week of quarantine I only had weakness and fatigue. It’s still worth taking.
For sure, if you are deficient in d, you will get a much worse case than if you aren’t.
I knew this. There were studies back then too!
How many taking Vitamin D have their blood levels tested? And if you’re tested, what blood level have you achieved with the dosage you’re using?
My Vitamin D story. Started taking a table of k2/D3 in 2007, which contains 1,000 IU of D3. First had a blood test about four years ago and blood level was 38.
Decided I wanted a higher level, then added a 5,000 IU softgel and took that all during the cold months. Achieved a level of 55. Since Covid, have been taking the 5,000 IU year round and my blood level has remained 55-60 the past three years.
Take a 10 minute walk everyday. Quarantining WELL PEOPLE was probably one of the worst thing the “scientists”....like Fauci caused.
Article says “New Study” and then a few sentences later says “some information may be out of date”. No fooling. They put patients in the sun during the Spanish flu to boost D.
Dr. Zelenko’s protocol:
Protocol for Low and Moderate Risk Patients:
Elemental Zinc 25mg 1 time a day
Vitamin D3 5000iu 1 time a day
Vitamin C 1000mg 1 time a day
Quercetin 500mg 1 time a day until a safe and efficacious vaccine becomes available
If Quercetin is unavailable, then use Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) 400mg 1 time a day
Protocol for High Risk Patients:
Elemental Zinc 25mg once a day
Vitamin D3 5000iu 1 time a day
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg 1 time a day for 5 days, then 1 time a week until a safe and efficacious vaccine becomes available
If HCQ is unavailable, then use the Protocol for Low and Moderate Risk Patients.
56 posts, many on how much vitamin D to take.
Google search on vitamin D and covid found these:
Original article by Healthline has one study with 489 hospitalized patients, deficiency was 1.77 times higher to test positive for virus.
Another study by TrustedSource from University of Grenada in Spain has 1/50 with vitamin D treatment admitted to ICU, 13/26 without treatment admitted to ICU.
AARP references a September 2020 study by Meltzer has deficient people more likely to test positive. Page also references Spain study, and Brazil study that one high dose doesn’t affect severity.
https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/vitamin-d-covid.html
A study in PLOS ONE by Dr. Michael Holick of 235 patients had vitamin D sufficient patients 51.5% less likely to die than insufficient patients.
https://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm/2020/09/25/adequate-levels-of-vitamin-d-reduces-complications-death-among-covid-19-patients/
webmd says one study of those with low levels found a 7.2% chance of testing positive. [Worldometers as of 9/4/21 has 40.7M cases out of 591.5 tests = 6.9%, so about 5% higher.]
Black people who were just over the normal limit were two times more likely to test positive than those with “even higher levels”.
Another report suggests higher levels don’t lower risk of infection, hospitalization or severity.
A third study found that giving vitamin D to hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 didn’t help their condition or reduce their hospital stay.
webmd doesn’t provide links to their studies
