I can't help but marvel and all the misinformation regarding vit.D over the years. The media was full-tilt on convincing people that it was a waste of money, maybe even harmful. I've watched that for years and just shook my head. We really are living in an environment of gross misinformation. It's fascinating to watch...like we're in some sort of matrix...

Vitamin D is a cornerstone of my regimen. Haven't been sick for 15 years now. (knock on wood)

Heliotherapy has been a keen interest of mine for the last few years. Recently, I started posting on Facebook a small fraction of the scores of articles I have been seeing about the benefits of Vitamin D (some relating it to Covid-19). I have been amazed at the push-back I’ve been getting. Most of my liberal friends are so fixated on the coming “vaccine” as the only solution. The partisanship and close-mindedness going around is astounding.

There have been people pointing out that many second- and third-world nations aren't being hit near as hard by COVID-19 as the developed nations. Normally, this is just exactly the opposite as malaria, tsetse, and others still afflict much of Sub-Saharan Africa. So what would the relevant factor be in reversing the outcomes? This report actually makes a lot of sense now.

It also correlates well to the fluctuations we've been seeing from Winter to Spring to Summer when it comes to infection rates in the hottest States in the Union. In the winter, people tend to stay inside because its cold. Then they start to get out more to enjoy Spring and being outside in the sun will result in higher levels of Vitamin D (as the skin can naturally manufacture the daily amount with only 15 minutes of sunlight). When summer rolls around, however, these places like Arizona and Texas get too hot to stay outside during the day and so people retreat to their air conditioning and their daily exposure to the sun - and consequent vitamin D generation - drop accordingly...

It's kind of funny but so many of the traditional ways to stay healthy and remedies for disease have been not focused on medication near as much as simply living a healthy life: taking a walk in the sun everyday, eating healthily, etc. I often wonder if we've become so overly dependent on taking a pill for everything and all we really need is just 15 minutes a day outside...

It is essential. The body gets very little from food. It is generated in skin by sunlight so in winter / cloudy dark weather take a supplement, cheap.
If a 'non-reflective' person (we say here) take up to double. Do not take a bottle a day but there is a big safety margin.

Also look to Casebier's post "Texas Doctor..."

We see a lot of Vitamin D deficiency here in sunny Colorado. Most of my patients are over 65, and most are Vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D is more like a hormone than a vitamin, and has multiple beneficial effects, including helping the immune system fight viral infections. A level of 30 is not adequate, should be over 60.

Adding more proof to the vit d link. I have been telling my patients and their families to supplement to correct low levels for months now

Me too. I take 3 a day, (15,000 IU) 4 in the winter.

Thank, kddr. 👍
