COVID-19 is airborne.
That means, “in the air, everywhere”.
It is ENDEMIC.
We will ALL get exposed..over and over.
MANY of us will “test positive”, mostly without symptoms.
SOME of us will be “symptomatic”, and a subset will be really sick.
And (unfortunately) a FEW of us will die.
This is NOT the Bubonic plague.
This is NOT the Spanish Influenza.
Tear off that face diaper.
Breathe deeply. Inhale some COVID.
Build up your immune system.
And LIVE!
Fast acting vitamin D is can "stop it".
In a new study, 76 patients with Covid-19 were treated: 26 with "standard of care" and 50 with "standard of care" + a high dose Vitamin D analog (calcifediol ).
For the group receiving calcifediol, only 1 (of 50) had to go to the ICU, and none died.
For the group not receiving calcifediol, 13 (of 26) went to the ICU and 2 died.
Given the proven effectiveness of Vitamin D against respiratory infections in the past, one physician was appalled that the CDC had not already done a similar study. We can expect the bureaucrats to ignore this study. The reason is now clear: their Chinese masters want the fear porn to continue so as to lift Jo and the Ho into power.
The study:
“Effect of calcifediol treatment and best available therapy versus best available therapy on intensive care unit admission and mortality among patients hospitalized for COVID-19: A pilot randomized clinical study”
Here is an analysis of the study:
Vitamin D, First clinical trial
Here is another analysis of the same study:
New Study - Vitamin D High Dose and COVID-19
Calcifediol raises blood levels of Vitamin D quickly. This is because it is the same as what the liver produces from regular vitamin D. Processing by the liver introduces days of delay, which might have been fatal for some of the Chinese Virus patients in this study. It is probably a good idea to get a prescription for Calcifediol and have some handy in case you develop Chinese Virus symptoms.
The only real side effect of using Vitamin D is that it is incredibly cheap compared to the drugs in the patent royalty competition. The retail cost of the amount of
calcifediol used in the study is probably less than $2000 per patient (assuming a 2-3 week course). If people became aware of the effectiveness of Vitamin D against the Chinese Virus, they might start taking preventive doses of "ordinary" (slow acting
cholecalciferol) Vitamin D, and that would be disastrous to the Covid fear porn royalty derby. A good preventive dose is 10,000 IU per day, requiring 13 bottles of 60 5,000 IU softgels per person per year at less than $100 ($7.50 per bottle from lef.org, cheaper elsewhere).
Fauci said in an email (as reported on a website, and not refuted) that he takes 6,000. I would guess that he weighs no more that 140. I am a more "normal" 200 and I take 8,000. I will have to increase to 10,000. The amount required to reach a certain blood level depends on your volume as well as your percent body fat, since Vitamin D is fat-soluble (my personal opinion of Dr. Fauci is that he is a bit scrawny)
The important questions are what is your vitamin D blood level and what is your calcium blood level. My Vitamin D level is only 40, and my calcium level is normal.
There is an article on NIH by a Canadian physician (Dr. Gerry Schwalfenberg) who works in nursing homes. He has developed a protocol for reducing flu like illness among his patients. This should be tried against the corona virus in US hospitals:
"A colleague of mine and I have introduced vitamin D at doses that have achieved greater than 100 nmol/L in most of our patients for the past number of years, and we now see very few patients in our clinics with the flu or influenzalike illness. 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. 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."
Vitamin D for influenza
There is a presentation by Dr. Robert P Heaney on the healthful effects of adequate vitamin D levels:
Vitamin D Sunshine Optimal Health: Putting it all Together
There is an article by Beata M. Gruber-Bzura on NIH that describes the mechanisms by which vitamin D works with the immune system:
"There are a few arguments which support vitamin D as a likely candidate for the abovementioned “seasonal stimulus”. In summary, most important is the 1α,25(OH)2D-stimulated production of AMPs, such as defensin and cathelicidin. As mentioned, these endogenous antibiotics act directly, destroying not only microbial pathogens, but also viruses, including the influenza virus [24,48,49]. The production of cathelicidin is dose-dependent on the serum level of 1α,25(OH)2D. "
Vitamin D and Influenza—Prevention or Therapy?
Please contact your Senators, Congressmen and the President and ask that the CDC be required to duplicate this study for a larger group. Such a study would be inexpensive and would not take long (on the order of weeks, less time than we are being asked to wait for the vaccine). The CDC should also be told to test the Vitamin D level of all Covid-19 patients.
