Study: Proper Levels of Vitamin D will Prevent COVID – Vaccine not Needed


Quote:

Dr. Michael Holick, professor of medicine, physiology and biophysics at Boston University School of Medicine, is an expert on Vitamin D, and we have featured his work on Health Impact News in the past. Much of Dr. Holick’s previous work on Vitamin D has been in the area of “brittle bone” diseases, which often lead to false charges of Shaken Baby Syndrome and wrongly accusing parents of committing child abuse based on radiology reports showing bone fractures that have healed in young children, who are basically Vitamin D deficient. A recent study conducted by Dr. Holick and his associates looked at samples from Quest Diagnostics of more than 190,000 Americans from all 50 states and found that those who had deficient levels of vitamin D had 54% higher COVID positivity compared to those with adequate levels of vitamin D in the blood. The Boston Herald reported on the study:

Stop waiting for a miracle drug: A Boston University doctor says a sufficient amount of vitamin D can cut the risk of catching coronavirus by 54%. “People have been looking for the magic drug or waiting for the vaccine and not looking for something this simple,” said Dr. Michael Holick, professor of medicine, physiology and biophysics at Boston University School of Medicine. Holick and his colleagues studied blood samples from Quest Diagnostics of more than 190,000 Americans from all 50 states and found that those who had deficient levels of vitamin D had 54% higher COVID positivity compared to those with adequate levels of vitamin D in the blood. The risk of getting coronavirus continued to decline as vitamin D levels increased, the study, published in the Public Library of Science One peer-reviewed journal shows. “The higher your vitamin D status, lower was your risk,” Holick said. Many people are vitamin D-deficient because there are only small amounts in food, Holick said. Most vitamin D comes from sun exposure and many are deprived, especially during winter months. But the sunshine vitamin is easy to find and relatively cheap in drug stores, and taking vitamin D pills comes at no risk. “It’s perfectly safe,” Holick said. “It’s considered to be, by many, the nutrient of the decade,” Holick said. COVID-19 positivity is strongly associated with vitamin D levels in the blood, a relationship that stayed the same across different races, sexes and age ranges, the study states.

So now we can add Vitamin D to the list of simple, effective cures for SARS-CoV-2, joining hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin C, ozone treatment, among others. Of course Big Pharma and the government health dictators will continue to deny these treatments, because the ramifications for their effectiveness would prove they are criminals and mass murderers, and that a COVID vaccine and new COVID drugs are just simply not needed. Then they would have to give the government back their $1 TRILLION + in funding to develop these drugs and treatments, and face charges in a court of law for mass murder by preventing these treatments, and attacking doctors who use them to save patients’ lives. Real cures are just simply not profitable for Big Pharma and their Wall Street bankers who control the government, and they cannot be allowed.

Unsurprising. People who live on junk food and or avoid the sun will have low levels of vitamin D and have always been more prone to illness. But its a little more complicated than simply taking a vitamin D pill, its about holistic  health. I can guarantee you than most people deficient in vitamin D are deficient in other essential vitamins too.

hi there nail.

ive already posted on this topic but unfortunately there is not 1 cent to be made by any company doing double blind crossover trials so they wont be done.

best to wait 12 months for an uber expensive ineffective vaccine that big pharma can make a trillion off

Who said something about not being a scientist?

lets look at astra zeneca, the biggest pharma in europe and one OZ is sneding 100's of millions for a vaccine

52-wk high      10,120.00
52-wk low      5,871.00

nearly doubled in price since january .

every other business, hairdressers, garden businesses, small resturants...bankrupt.

but not big business.

why are the lefties so devoted to big business.
why are they so intertested in corporate profits?

they are either naive, stupid or hypocrites .
probably all 3  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

In a new report published in The Lancet, a team of researchers discussed the possibility that vitamin D could offer protection against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials performed from 2007 to 2020. The studies revealed that vitamin D has protective effects against acute respiratory infections.

Vitamin D and severity of COVID-19
Previous research investigated the link between circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), which is a biomarker of vitamin D status of the body, and the incidence and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Two studies have shown inverse relationships between national estimates of vitamin D levels or status and the incidence of COVID-19, including the mortality in European countries.

The study has shown that when there are lower concentrations of 25(OH)D, the risk or susceptibility to COVID-19 increases. Also, the study revealed that COVID-19 severity increases when there are low levels of Vitamin D in the body.

Also, airway diseases are tied to dysregulated vitamin D metabolism, increasing the possibility that vitamin D deficiency may become a complication of inflammation in the respiratory tract.

Other studies highlight the potential for reverse causality, which means that low levels of vitamin D may lead to a higher incidence and severity of COVID-19.

The researchers noted that further studies are needed, involving well-powered randomized controlled trials of vitamin D supplementation in preventing and treating COVID-19 patients.

i have demonstrated big pharma have doubled their share price since january.
i have demonstrated big pharma would never promote a study on vitamin d.

how else will this get done?

are you saying it is the right who are saying "lets lockdown and wait for a vaccine" and it is the left who are saying "we need to get the economy going to look after the little people".

if so, i would say it is YOU who are FITH because thats not whats happening

Holick has also been criticized by other physicians because of his testimony, defending accused child abusers by asserting that Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a cause of non-traumatic fractures in infancy (rather than abuse).[52] Experts in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, as well as pediatricians specializing in traumatic bone injury, refute Holick's position, which is completely unsubstantiated by the medical literature. In over 300 criminal cases Holick has never concluded that the child who suffered broken bones had been abused. In one case of a child who had suffered broken bones in which Holick defended the accused parent, the child later went on to suffer severe brain injury, for which the parent has been indicted


His promotion of Vitamin D has been called extreme, even speculating that the extinction of dinosaurs caused by a lack of it in reduced sunlight.


So makes sense he'd call for it COVID? Hey have impotence take Vit D.

No, congrats on the misinterpretation. Besides getting the economy going only favours all the non-pharma big businesses.

More good advice from people who understand it better than the stupid pollies who just parrot big pharma. Show this to Greg C.nt and I bet you he will just turn his narrow arse back on you and walk away !! The same stupid poli who would endorse chemo as a prospective cancer cure  :(

During the COVID-19 pandemic Ayyadurai used social media to spread various conspiracy theories and misinformation about the pandemic. In January 2020 he claimed that the coronavirus was patented by the Pirbright Institute, but the patent he referenced relates to avian coronavirus, which infects birds, not SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the pandemic.[50] Ayyadurai defined COVID-19 as "an overactive dysfunctional immune system that overreacts and that's what causes damage to the body", and claimed that vitamin C could be used to treat it.[51]

He alleged that the coronavirus was spread by the "deep state" and accused Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, of being a "Deep State Plant". Ayyadurai called for Fauci to be fired[52] and his supporters lobbied for Fauci to be replaced by Ayyadurai.[53]

In March 2020 he published an open letter to president Donald Trump where he wrote that a national lockdown was unnecessary and advocated that large doses of vitamins could prevent and cure the disease.[54] In April 2020, Politico and Vanity Fair reported that QAnon supporter DeAnna Lorraine recommended that Shiva be included in coronavirus discussions at Donald Trump's White House.[55][56]

While living in Japan for years I developed horrible respiratory infections, they got more and more frequent and the doctors said the condition would only worsen with age. When I moved to the USA the infections continued. No physician ever, ever suggested I get my D-levels tested. But I did. And they were in the low range. So I began to supplement. And today the respiratory infections are very rare - once every 3-4 years instead of 4 times a year.

some interesting stuff here

BMJ 2020; 368 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m1101 (Published 19 March 2020) Inhabitants of Swedish-Somali origin are at great risk for covid-19 In Editor’s choice of 19 March Fiona Godlee writes, “With the covid-19 pandemic we have entered extraordinary times, when some things are known but many more are not and where decisions must be made nonetheless.”[1] We fully agree. Among the first 15 deaths due to covid-19 in Stockholm County, six were reported, by the Swedish-Somali medical society, to be of Somali origin (March 24). Considering that only 0.84% of the Stockholm County population was born in Somalia (n=8,178 by December 2019) this is an astonishing high rate. Socio-economic factors, e.g. cramped housing accommodation, high rates of smoking and poor understanding of the Swedish language (which in turn leads to poor understanding of health information on covid-19 provided by the authorities) may explain the situation. Another possible explanation is Ethnic benign neutropenia - the most common form of neutropenia worldwide and very common among East African populations. [2] A risk factor that we want to highlight, however, is the low vitamin D levels found in the Swedish-Somali population. Vitamin D status is strongly related to low sun exposure and dark skin. In two different studies, the great majority of Swedish women of Somali origin had very low levels of S-25(OH)-D (< 25 nmol/l).[3,4] In Finland, Somali women required more than twice the amount of vitamin D in order to maintain recommended vitamin D status. [5] In addition, vitamin D deficiency was twice as common, regardless of gender, in immigrants from Africa compared with those from the Middle East. [6] There is evidence that vitamin D is involved in our defence against respiratory tract infections. According to a meta-analysis, vitamin D supplementation (daily-weekly dosage) prevents acute respiratory tract infections, especially in those with 25(OH)-D below 25 nmol/l (NNT = 4) [7]. In a randomised trial on individuals with frequent respiratory tract infections, treatment with cholecalciferol 4000 IE/day reduced the need for antibiotic treatment [8]. The mechanism is debated; however, modulation of the renin-angiotensin system has been implicated in animal studies of acute respiratory distress syndrome,[9] and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 is a well-established receptor for the SARS-CoV virus.[10]

So essentially if you're deficient, take a supplement. Wow thats Nobel stuff right there

Even if that’s true (and I doubt it is, correlation isn’t causation) that’s not enough to give us herd immunity, we are still going to need a vaccine
