Vitamin D is an immunoregulatory hormone and potential #lifesaver. A recent meta-analysis published by #FrontiersIn suggests exactly that. So, why don’t politicians and media demand to provide the world’s population with this non-experimental hormone?

Another paper showing that vitamin D deficiency has an adverse effect on both infection and mortality rate of Covid (https://bit.ly/2ZUSteO). The only explainable reason why governments are not supplementing everybody with vitamin D is that it is, in fact, not about our health.

I discovered i have a yeast infection. Problaby Candida, not sure cause no testing available here where i am.

I started with 25 days Zeolite to flush metals that could be binded with Candida. Then did 10 days of high dose D/65.000 IU per day in combination with C, K2, Magnesium and B12.
Now on day 8/30 of high dose grape fruit seed extract.

I havent felt that good in ages!!!
All yeast related symptoms gone, more energy, faboulus mood ect. I look younger..

VITAMIN D is the answer for soooo many issues and you simon should push more Information. People need to know🙏

Vitamin D is a game-changer...

... it's a shame governments and media are denying and discrediting it.

"Both datasets show a strong correlation between the death rate caused by SARS-CoV-2 and the vitamin D blood level. At a threshold level of 30 ng/mL, mortality decreases considerably. In addition, our analysis shows that the correlation for the combined datasets intersects the axis at approximately 50 ng/mL, which suggests that this vitamin D3 blood level may prevent any excess mortality. These findings are supported not only by a large infection study, showing the same optimum but also by the natural levels observed in traditional people living in the region where humanity originated from that were able to fight down most (not all) infections in most (not all) individuals."

Background: Obesity is a rapidly growing health problem in most developed countries. Excess body weight is a risk factor for many somatic and even psychological disorders, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis and several cancer types. Recently, overweight and obesity have been shown to be related to low vitamin D status.

Materials and methods: The 25(OH)D3 status was analyzed in a population of 2,126 patients registered in a Metabolic and Medical Lifestyle Management Clinic in Oslo, Norway. Seasonal variation and prevalence of vitamin D deficiency were assessed in different body mass index (BMI), sex and age categories.

Results: For both sexes and both age groups (<50 years and > or = 50 years) there was a significant decrease of serum 25(OH)D3 levels with increasing BMI. Surprisingly, not only were the 25(OH)D3 levels negatively correlated with BMI, but the serum 1,25(OH)2D3 levels were also. The seasonal variation of serum 25(OH)D3 was highest in young (<50 years) non-obese men. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was highest in individuals with BMI > or = 40, being as high as 32% among women and 46% among men.

Conclusion: The 25(OH)D3 level, as well as its seasonal variation and the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, are all dependent on BMI, and age separately. The results of the study suggest that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men with BMI > or = 40 are vitamin D deficient.

Comment from Dr. Simon @Goddek: The paper concludes that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men with a high BMI is vitamin D deficient. The statement is misleading as they define deficiency as 50nmol/L, which is 20 ng/mL serum 25(OH)D3. There is sufficient evidence that the blood serum level should at least be 40 ng/mL, so I cannot agree with the conclusion as it is written in this paper. In addition, we know that most people who die with or due to Covid showed a blood serum level < 15 ng/mL. Nevertheless, the key role key role of vitamin D in having a functioning immune system is widely being ignored.

A recent study shows that people with dark skin have a 15 to 20-fold higher prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency. Lower levels are associated with a higher grade of disease severity.

This also explains why there are more immigrants dying with Covid (in the UK and elsewhere) than their white fellows.

Vitamin D3 and K2 and their potential contribution to reducing the COVID-19 mortality rate

The attached paper addresses the immunoregulatory effects of supplementing vitamin D3. In addition, it explains why vitamin K2 and magnesium should also be supplemented to prevent long-term health risks such as calcification of the arteries or kidney stones.

I, Dr Simon @Goddek, wrote this publication about the potential of vitamin D last summer. Since then, it has been cited 20 times, and more than 150 studies have confirmed my hypotheses, which are as follows:

👉 Vitamin D serum levels above 35 ng/mL seem to correlate with the mortality rate of COVID-19 patients.
👉 The immunoregulating function of vitamin D is promising and might decrease the global epidemic mortality.

PubMed Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32768697/

You can find more information about vitamin D on my Telegram channel @Sunfluencer.

The website vdmeta.com provides a meta-analysis of all clinical vitamin D trials regarding Covid.

It can be seen that early treatment with vitamin D significantly prevents death, ventilation and severe cases.

However, the overview also has a downside. It does not tell anything about the initial and achieved vitamin D blood serum level and the type of admission (as in oral vitamin D3 or intravenous calcifediol).

Calcifediol Treatment and Hospital Mortality Due to COVID-19: A Cohort Study

"Among patients hospitalized with COVID-19, treatment with calcifediol, compared with those not receiving calcifediol, was significantly associated with lower in-hospital mortality during the first 30 days."

Seasonality and Supplementation of Vitamin D

👉 As already evidenced by previous correlation studies, a low 25(OH)D concentration should be considered a contributing factor to COVID-19 severity.

👉 Europe and the northern USA are starting a long COVID-19 crisis this autumn, as they will return to a level above the October sun UV daily dose only at the end of March 2021.

👉 Measures to reduce the pandemic severity during the coming winter using controlled preventive vitamin D supplementation should be considered.

"There are a growing number of data suggesting the link between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and COVID-19 infectivity and severity. Although the results from randomized clinical trials aiming to prove the benefit of vitamin D supplementation for these purposes are pending, there is no downside to increasing vitamin D intake and having sensible sunlight exposure to maintain serum 25(OH)D at a level of at least 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L) and preferably at 40 to 60 ng/mL (100-150 nmol/L) to achieve optimal health benefits of vitamin D and minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection and its severity."

"Vitamin D deficiency was found in 82.2% of COVID-19 cases and 47.2% of population-based controls (p<0.0001)"

Study Results: A total of 537 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19 (317 males (59%), median age, 70 years), and 79 (14.7%) received calcifediol treatment. Overall, in-hospital mortality during the first 30 days was 17.5%. The odds ratio of death for patients receiving calcifediol (mortality rate of 5%) was 0.22 (95% CI, 0.08 to 0.61) compared to patients not receiving such treatment (mortality rate of 20%; p < 0.01).

Remark Dr Simon @Goddek: The findings are even more impressive as 87% of the treated individuals had comorbidities compared to 68% in the control group.

Denying the importance of #VitaminD is quackery. Millions of lives could most likely be saved with only a tiny fraction of the money currently spent on undermining our freedom.

And again, it's not about our health!

NEW STUDY: Correlation of Vitamin D Levels with COVID-19 Severity and Outcome

As can be seen in the attached tables, patients with a vitamin D blood serum level of >30 ng/mL didn't die at all. Even though the sample size was limited, the findings are still statistically significant and provide a strong indication that vitamin has the potential to save millions of lives with respect to any viral infection.

Always take your Vitamin D together with Vitamin K2.

I was like: wow, the CNN is talking about vitamin D and Omega-3 until I got to the part where they said that one shouldn't exceed 600 IU per day, which is super low.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/27/health/vitamin-d-fish-oil-autoimmune-wellness/index.html

This study is an eye-opener. By supplementing 2000 IU vitamin D per day, autoimmune diseases were reduced by 22%.

Imagine what an adequate dosage, leading to vitamin D blood-serum levels of 60-80 ng/mL, could achieve.
