The vitamin supplement companies must really like you.

There's no controversy that low D levels are associated with poor covid outcomes and there's some, not much, but some evidence that high dose C moves the needle.

Both are cheap and totally harmless. I had the D because my daughter actually got a low D reading last winter, I never usually take C so bought it.

Open all your windows you need good ventilation so you don't rebreathe virus.

Get everyone out in the sun if you have a backyard.

Zinc is essential for healthy immune system. 6 oysters give 370% of RDI so eat a few of them. Zinc supplements are water soluble so they have a difficult time getting past lipids in cells water and oil don't really mix so oils in oysters help cells absorb zinc.

well done gordon.

natural immunity has been shown in 140 studies to be superior to vaccine immunity.

and it looks like it induces memory cells and will last for years.


interesting that israel is currently onto pfizer jab 4 and has a higher death rate then surrounding palestine which has very low vaccination rates.

you can kick back with a beer and watch the rest of australia confront the sniffles.

pfizer will be very disappointed they cant monetise you anymore, they might get their mates at google and facebook to ban you if you post that it was no big deal. cant have their bottom line compromised

move out of the Coffin-Apartment City lifestyle for starters and you might find some fresh air to breath without the need for a ventilator.

I just shooed girlchild into the backyard which is now mostly shaded, she's lying on the trampoline with her laptop watching Cobra Kai S4.

BTW, we didn't catch it in Siddy.

It's actually good timing for Omicron to let rip in Australia.

We're all recently vaxxed, Omicron and reportedly milder and doesn't attack the lungs as much. Vaccination + exposure = best immunity.

I agree.
Apparently Zinc is absorbed through the gums.
So let zinc tablets or mussels stay in your mouth as long as reasonable.

There are no health dangers with high Vitamin D levels. Supplements can take a few days to build Vit D levels up so best to sunbake without using sunscreen don't burn as that is too much sun. Strip off as much as you dare for best results.

Studies show Vit D levels over 50Ng/Ml might result in sniffles when levels drop below 20 Ng/Ml and below 10 Ng/Ml you're at risk of severe covid.

Not sure about Zinc being absorbed through gums i think it's absorbed in digestive system. Natural sources are always better than supplements.

It's possible to have too much Zinc in diet so eat your leafy greens to help your body process it.

The vaccine doesn't fight this virus your immune system does all the work so you need Vit D and Zinc for good immune system response.

Vitamin D toxicity, also called hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but potentially serious condition that occurs when you have excessive amounts of vitamin D in your body.

Vitamin D toxicity is usually caused by large doses of vitamin D supplements — not by diet or sun exposure. That's because your body regulates the amount of vitamin D produced by sun exposure, and even fortified foods don't contain large amounts of vitamin D.

The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause nausea and vomiting, weakness, and frequent urination. Vitamin D toxicity might progress to bone pain and kidney problems, such as the formation of calcium stones.

What is vitamin D toxicity?

Zoom in on the bottle of vit D, it's 1000IU. I got everyone (not the 4 year old) to take x6 and that's it for the week. Yes you can take a week's allowance in one go.

Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity. This level is many times higher than the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for most adults of 600 IU of vitamin D a day.

So the 4 year old got a stonking temp of 39.5 mid afternoon. Got some panadol into him and by bed time it was down to 37 and he's back to being a frog in a sock.

15 year old is copping the worst for some reason. She had a temp of 39 early this morning and her oxygen saturation was a bit on the low side. Got some panadol and aspirin into her and all good.

I'm nearly asymptomatic, only tied as I hardly slept last night from checking the girls every 2 or so hours.

60,000 Iu would be taking 60 tablets a day how many are in the bottle and would that be a bottle a day?


Quote:

The Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board's old 1997 recommendations suggested that 2,000 IU per day of vitamin D is safe for adults and that 1,000 IU per day is safe for infants up to 12 months of age. Many observers expected a drastic increase in the IOM's 2010 update. That didn't exactly happen. The IOM committee did increase its "upper level intake" -- that is, the boundary at which it feared vitamin D would become unsafe. That dose is 4,000 IU/day for adults, 3,000 IU/day for kids ages 4-8, 2,500 IU/day for kids ages 1-3, 1,500 IU/day for infants ages 6-12 months, and 1,000 IU/day for infants ages 0-6 months. But some recent studies suggest that healthy adults can tolerate more than 10,000 IU of vitamin D per day. John Jacob Cannell, MD, executive director of The Vitamin D Council, notes that the skin makes 10,000 IU of vitamin D after 30 minutes of full-body sun exposure. He suggests that 10,000 IU of vitamin D is not toxic. According to the National Institutes of Health, 25-OHD levels that are consistently over 200 ng/mL are "potentially toxic." https://www.webmd.com/osteoporosis/features/the-truth-about-vitamin-d-can-you-get-too-much-vitamin-d

15 minutes on your back followed by 15 minutes face down in the sun while nearly naked gives you 10,000 IU a day it's cheaper than supplements. Most people can handle 10-12 minutes easily without burning.

For best protection you need just over 50 Ng/Ml.


Quote:

Recommendations on optimal vitamin D levels vary, but research suggests that levels between 30–60 ng/mL are likely optimal and may help protect against illness and disease Most cases of vitamin D toxicity are caused by inappropriate supplement dosing and prescription errors. For example, in a 2020 case report, a 73-year-old man developed vitamin D toxicity after taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D per day for many years In another 2020 case report, a 56-year-old woman who took an average of 130,000 IU of vitamin D per day for 20 months in hopes of improving symptoms of multiple sclerosis was hospitalized for symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and muscle weakness. Her vitamin D levels were discovered to be 265 ng/mL (11Trusted Source). Note that 130,000 IU is over 30 times the generally recommended safe upper limit of 4,000 IU per day. Keep in mind that people who are low or deficient in vitamin D typically need to take much higher levels than the current Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 4,000 IU per day to reach and maintain optimal vitamin D levels. a 2015 case study reported that an older man with dementia who received 50,000 IU of vitamin D daily for 6 months was repeatedly hospitalized with symptoms related to high calcium levels In another case study, an 18-month-old child who was given 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 for 3 months experienced diarrhea, stomach pain, and other symptoms. These symptoms resolved after the child stopped taking the supplements In a 2021 case report, a 64-year-old man accidentally took 200,000 IU of vitamin D per day because he misunderstood medication instructions. He showed altered mental status and other serious symptoms related to hypercalcemia Vitamin D deficiency is generally recognized as serum vitamin D levels less than 20 ng/mL. People who have levels that fall between 21–29 ng/mL are considered to have insufficient vitamin D levels Healthcare professionals may recommend people who are very low in vitamin D take very high weekly doses of 50,000 IU for 8 weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 2,000 IU per day after their levels reach 30 ng/mL Make sure to avoid excessive doses of vitamin D. Generally, for people with adequate vitamin D levels, taking supplements of 4,000 IU or fewer per day is considered safe. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin-d-side-effects#The-bottom-line

You have to take a shitload of Vit D tablets for a long time to have problems.

Thanks, Sprint.

The things that have been most appreciated by the two sick girls is the coconut water and Calypo iceblocks :)

Also make sure you grab a pulse oximeter for peace of mind.

So based on your family, 1 in 4 will feel "hit like a truck".  If that holds true to the rest of the infected, that's quite serious i would think.  And this hit some young and healthy.  So could be lot worse for those on a poor starting point.

Not to mention, would you take a 1 in 4 chance for your loved ones of "being hit by a truck", if a vaccine which has about 1 in 2 or 3 million chance of very bad side effects?

incorrect.

yes, a few people will die from omicron.

but not 100's of 1000's.

we have 40 % reductions in screening for breast , bowel and prostate cancer over the last 2years.
they kill , between them, 40,000 people per year.

so that alone  will result in more deaths then omicron.


i have relatives in the health system.

covid testing clinics at the biggest local hospital are staffed by nurses from that hospital.
thats pulling resources , cash and expertise out of the hospital to achiveve what exactly?

we know that it is everywhere, so what does all this testing prove.

they say they are exhausted from all the testing and the public calling the hospital non stop , asking about where to get a test and the admin staff put it thru to the charge nurse. they cant do their job.

they get one positive case and they have to spend hours moving 170 kg people from room to room in face masks and sticky gowns.

of course they are exhausted!!!

a lot of them just call in sick from exhaustion

exhaustion caused by doing all this rediclcuous posturing from the bureaucrats on high.

it is nothing to do with lots of sick breathless people.

it is all to do with crazy protocols that have made the system grind to a halt.

and the solution from the desk jockeys?

oh well, we really need you nurses , so even if you have it come to work!!!

now is that consistent?

and we have the public all fronting up for tests they dont need and to casualty when they dont need to and calling ambulances they dont need


and the media that caused this with their panic mongering, benefit off this by further panic mongering.

its a vicous cycle of panic and diaster that is causing panic and disaster.


the media should go out to gordons and he could do a sober explanation of how you can deal with this and not stress the system when the system is already hyper stressed.

but the media wont do that.

that wont attract eyeballs

everyone is in the media hypnosis that a diseas which, for the vast majority will cause  gordons type symptoms is really a species ending event.

its going to cost lives unless people start to unwind the hysteria.

and people who want to wind up the hysteria are reprehensible.
they are the ones who are selfish.

not the fine people who take personal resonsibility and look after themselves.

It's going to get thru the community eventually, always was.
So what is better, letting it get in before the majority are vaxxed or after?

The people for whom it won't be beer and skittles need to take personal responsibility and adjust their lives accordingly.
Both my parents are very ill and are doing just that.

Yup. She felt incredibly tired with body aches, temp was high but not scary high and oxy levels were fine. Hardly any coughing. Omni is much more upper than lower respiratory.

And I checked on her and wife every 2 hours because I'm a doting dad but more so the scare factor of being the dreaded covid.

All 3 of them are much better today with normal temps, just feeling a little tired, thanks for asking.

No contradiction. None.

Wife rated hers as a bad cold/mild flu

Daughter was tired, aching, bad headache, said she felt like she was hit by a truck but a total absence of lung involvement. More like a bad but quick head cold.
She's had worse colds than this.

Oh so now it's what she said.

Fascinating.

Yes, she said she felt like she was hit by a truck, I said she had a total absence of lung involvement.

It's interesting that rather than wanting to learn from my first hand observations of 3 covid patients you just want to be argumentative.

For all that are actually interested in what you may experience with Omi,
It comes on quickly and strong with a bad headache, fatigue, body aches and high temps and sweats.

The acute phase seems to be 24 hours.

Best relief is panadol, aspirin, iceblocks and coconut water.

Pseudo-science. Based on your own prejudices.

It is far more complicated than that.

And your apparent healthy teenage dughter was "hit by a truck".

Caught out nothing. All three of them were hit hard and it passed in 24 hours.

And contradicting all personal experience, however manufactured it was, Gordy's back to shaming people.

What a guy.

You're daughter is not fat Gordy. surely, You wouldn't allow her to be. How come she was "hit by a truck"?

Or were you perhaps taking liberties with your descriptors?

nah, gordons an honest poster

ive been that sea sick i thought i would rather die

hop off the boat and 3 minutes later, doing cartwheels

seen people with migraines who looked in agony.

took an immigran wafer and hey presto, all good.

gordos daughter felt awful but recovered almost immediately because gordo feeds her a good diet, makes sure she exercises.

its the parents who dont take such responsibility who are now clogging up the hospital system

teenage obesity is a "massive problem", pardon the pun.

its child abuse.

instead we have facebook banning people who call someone fat and the mainstream media pandering to it to make $$$

disgraceful stuff

this sort of craziness is what is filling our hospitals
thank god for people like gordon

Pain and suffering usually brought on by disease, the registration of which is completely dependent on the person using the expression and their pain tolerance.

Like i need to get my first hand experiences from you, Gordy.

But you said, and i quote, that your 15 yeaqr old daughter was "hit by a train". Now you're saying she was fine the very next day. After a night of you checking her every 2 hours to make sure she was still alive.

All i'm saying to you is to extend a similar consideration to others, as opposed to writing them all off as fat buggers ... as you have been doing. I wished that your experience had taught you humility and compassion. You seem resentful of this,

All in all i'm not overly surprised. You're a particularly reprehensible person.

unbelievable that mothra somehow is trying to shame gordon for having a healthy family.

it just shows how absolutely f'ed in the head thinking has become

if the fat chodes had lost 10 kg each (easily done over a 2 year period since covid began), there would be 1/2 as many hospital admissions.

instead they selfishly chose to gain weight

they are costing lives.

people with other medical conditions may miss out because of their selfishness.

they need to be called out on it.

why is this not happening.
the data are crystal clear.

the cruel hatred of the unvaxxed is promoted but even suggesting someone lose weight is offensive.

freaking rediculuous and totally illogical

Horseboy's a fan. Gordy. Go you.

gordon should be congratulated that thru his love of his family,
his daughter was able to bounce back to good health so rapidly.

well done gordon.

we need more people like you who love their kids.

dept of family services should remove morbidly obese kids from hateful parents.

parents taking obese children to macdonalds should be fined , on the spot.
get the covid police onto it and stop the hypocricy

Logical analysis? Let us know when you're planning to do one of those, will you? I'll have to set my alarm clock so I don't miss it.;D ;D ;D

Blood on their hands for not promoting exercise? The only ones with blood on their hands are the politicians (and the business 'leaders' pulling the pollies' strings) who have knowingly allowed this Covid catastrophe to happen.

I'm sure you must be a part time (probably armchair) politician in between selling those $2 bags of horse manure.

It comes on fast, hits hard for a day or two then is mild.

And this is why anecdotes and testimonials are meaningless as evidence
especially when given by an anonymous person on the internet
Of course Gordon is going to claim anything that supports his argument, and none of us have any way of verifying it

Notice how Nails, Yadda, Aqua and Baron pretty much exclusively use anecdotes to support their arguments because in a world of 7 billion people you are always going to be able to find someone claiming an anecdote that supports an argument.

Hit by a truck but fine the next day. Anyone besides me thinking Gordy may have been a little poetic with his descriptions of his families response to Covid? I wonder why? And this is why anecdotes and testimonials are meaningless as evidence especially when given by an anonymous person on the internet Of course Gordon is going to claim anything that supports his argument, and none of us have any way of verifying it Notice how Nails, Yadda, Aqua and Baron pretty much exclusively use anecdotes to support their arguments because in a world of 7 billion people you are always going to be able to find someone claiming an anecdote that supports an argument.

Most fully vaccinated people with Omi report exactly what I have.
One day mild
One day feeling like crap
One day mild

What argument am I trying to support other than get vaccinated, keep healthy otherwise?

And hit by a truck.

"Hit by a truck". And requiring checking throughout the night, 2 hourly.

Oh i think it's enough.

You grossly exaggerated your daughter's symptoms to garner sympathy on here, then when it was pointed out to you that your claims were in direct contradiction to your established stance, you went on the attack.

Typical Gordy behaviour.

Hi Gordon

Finally read all this topic,

so you and all your family got this latest variant of covid (Omicron)

Glad to hear you are all OK.

Any idea how it was picked up?

Can never be 100% sure. We just got back from a week in Byron then a week in the GC.

In Byron, we had the requisite PCR test to get the QLD border pass.

The day we checked out to go to QLD we hadn't got our PCR tests back we drove up the coast a bit to wait and cross fingers. By lunch all bar my wife's test came back, so I bought a couple of RA tests and did one on her (neg) and thought the border police may allow show some discretion. We had no clue how the border was being managed and we were close to the 72 hour window. So would they turn us back if we crossed outside the 72 hour window? Anyway, not long after that her test finally came back. The border was a joke anyway, not stopped, waved right thru. Thanks, Anna!

In Byron, we hardly went, only ate out once, a few drives and the beach was a few steps from our rental.

In QLD, we ate at the surf clubs every night, hit Pacific Fair a few times. GC was busier than Byron!

First symptoms appeared when we got home, 8 days after we entered QLD.
Omi is now the dominant strain and has an average incubation period of about 3 days. So odds are GC but I don't care because we're all Aussies, and this disease came from CHINA.

A bad hangover?
Hypoglycemic?
The flu?

Feel free to search those for "hit by a"...

Perhaps you should ask how hard they were hit and how fast the bus/truck/etc was travelling before asking what images it conjures up?

I think she tied one on last night and woke up feeling hit by a bus.

Sorry for not understanding "hit by a truck".  If i got hit by one, i would probably be heading to a hospital.

I'm so glad someone has posted about this.

I personally have yet to come across ANYONE who has had Covid19.

So it's true then ... Omicron isn't as awful as the other strains?

The symptoms are pretty much those of a normal flu. Yes?

Even then Yahoo's dumb arse Frodo aka Smith BORROWED that phrase from the Groggy cyber troll.

Scientific truths are usually counter-intuitive and therefore often contradict lived experience.

With these 'default' Vaccines spreading the Corona variations far and wide - suddenly my part of the country has people masking up quick smart.

Vaxed or not - people don't want to get sick from it, wether seriously or not.

Covid is a Political disease - if you get infected by it, you turn into a Politician denying the world is polluted like a sick person from a disease.

Not at all. The profilers spend a fortune collecting data on the old boy and his ilk. If we didn't have the old boy here, we'd have to make him up.

Why didn't you just stay the farq home?

What is it with all you Sydneyites wanting to spread shyte to everyone just because you have it?

You didn't catch it in QLD & if you did it was from the other Cockie tourists that bought it here as soon as the borders opened.

Yep.

Sydney-siders and Melbournians travelling far and wide with their vaxed 'infections' of Covid, not wearing their masks because ScoMo said they 'legally' don't have to... spreading the Virus around like a Wild Fire.

Primitive city-people spreading the virus for ScoMo.

Lock em all up back in their polluted cities.

gordon is to be congratulated for "moving out with a spirit of adventure"

you, jim, should stay home

as a drink driver you may put someone in ICU and those beds are needed for our covid patients.

gordon and myself have maintained dietary discipline and so wont be needing those beds.

you should be thanking us.

While not denying that a healthy diet and lifestyle without question leads to better outcomes when resisting disease, it does seem that innate religiosity is just under the surface of many if not all of us.

It's not hard to imagine a future with enforceable dietary laws that will bear a significant resemblance to religious dietary laws; and laws that will morph with the times and the science.

This is the way of human reaction to diseases of all intensities, be they epidemics, pandemics or plagues.

And sometimes the instinct is not even triggered by an immediate threat of death by disease. If we were still believing the received wisdom of 70s dietary fashion, we would likely not be eating butter or eggs today because one day it may have a detrimental effect on our heart.

As for vitamin supplements they have, over the decades, become as sacred as consecrated bread and wine after the Christian rite of transubstantiation has been performed.

Crypto-religious instinct, it seems, has cloaked itself in science.

Veganism is almost identical to diet regimes common within Asian religions including ancient Judaism.

It may occasionally cloak itself in science, but it is much more at home cloaked in a many times more potent motivator - morality.

It was noted by early Christian church scribes that James (known as James the Just) 'the brother of the Lord' was a strict vegetarian and not in contravention of Mosaic law.

Come on Gnads, we're all double or triple vaxxed. What was the vax for if not so we can resume our lives? I have a low risk profile, people who don't should take a level of personal responsibility they feel comfortable with.

Thanks to New Years. A lot of people I know, ringing me to tell me they have now tested positive to Covid. Some are not feeling well at all already.

Remember those Anti-Vax/Lock Down marches in the cities?
Where ScoMo called them 'Selfish'.
Well selfish ScoMo - putting Politics before Health in a Pandemic Crises era, has now allowed the Virus to spread rampantly and made all those previous efforts a waste of time.

Australia: once looked up to by many nations in regards to Covid, now is a laughing stock and looked down upon.
But I did say that Politics would let this country down, back at the start of 2019/20. Pandemics don't dissapear in a few years like a fad in the Media. They last as long as World Wars can.

People taking weeks off work because, although vaxed, they still get very sick. Not good for the Economy.
The idea of staying Locked Down on the mini-outbreaks and keeping the Virus out of this country, until it weakens globally and blows past, obviously didn't sit well with the Political dim-wits.

Australia was doing so well - being Covid Free, Mask Free, just cruising in 'choice' about being vaxed, waiting for better vaccines to come along, buying Australian, out and about in a disease-free nation, etc.

Then ScoMo of the Nostromo - let it in.

During the lockdown Gordon was at home
Swinging his kettlebells
Eating his nutritious salads
Preparing for the day
That he could unleash his awesome healthy body on the world   

Gordon was like an elite World war 2 soldier
He used the lock down to do brutal training
So that when the time was right he could storm the beaches at Normandy

Fat Steve on the other hand use the lock down as a time to become slovenly and lazy

My message to Steve is

Poor preparation leads to piss poor performance

Steve should have been like Gordon
A coiled spring of awesomeness

Instead of storming the beaches of Normandy
Steve and his mates were loaded in the landing craft
And they sank on the spot

You overlook, Horseboy, that Gordy's daughter was hit by a truck! I imagine she was directed through the preparatory time by the Coiled Spring Of Awesomeness that is Gordy, yet still, she was hit by a truck.

You know, hospitalisation, ventilators, ICU. Hit by a truck.

Unless Gordy's daughter was just a little unwell for a day and then fine?

Self-entitled piece of poo, no, not everyone needs to get it. And just because you are low risk (despite your daughter being hit by a truck) doesn't mean all of the people you come into contact with through your over-entitled travels are.

No hope for you. Even concern for your own daughter couldn't teach you empathy.

Gordon was driving around Sydney during lockdown, videoing Boongs drinking in parks and spreading contagion. He spied on the chaps with the kettle bells like an old perv. Does that hurt? How heavy are your bells? Nice abs, dear. I bet you can bounce a medicine ball off that.

Miam miam, no?

So odds are GC but I don't care because we're all Aussies, and this disease came from CHINA. Why didn't you just stay the farq home? What is it with all you Sydneyites wanting to spread shyte to everyone just because you have it? You didn't catch it in QLD & if you did it was from the other Cockie tourists that bought it here as soon as the borders opened. Come on Gnads, we're all double or triple vaxxed. What was the vax for if not so we can resume our lives? I have a low risk profile, people who don't should take a level of personal responsibility they feel comfortable with. If you live in a remote cabin and live off the land, you may avoid it, everyone else WILL get it.

 
Not every one in QLD is/was vaxxed x 2 or those that were hadn't had their boosters(I haven't yet had booster) ....

& again I'll say ... you didn't give a toss about anyone else.

Were your children all double vaxxed & had a booster?

We are running low on supplies for testing & for boosters in QLD .....

Queues 2 blocks long to get a booster in a city of 27,000.

And the interstate tourists are in all areas of regional QLD.

btw do you recall that I mentioned a Victorian couple trying to get into a pub here a week ago? ...

and they told the bloke on the door they were unvaccinated...

do you see why there is concern?

I imagine she was directed through the preparatory time by the Coiled Spring Of Awesomeness that is Gordy, yet still, she was hit by a truck. You know, hospitalisation, ventilators, ICU. Hit by a truck. Unless Gordy's daughter was just a little unwell for a day and then fine?

She's okay, Mother. Gordon's hot babe wife took care of her.

That's the thing with the Superior Race. They look after their own. They train the mind and the body, with a fat-free diet consisting largely of raw vegetables and additional vitamin supplements.

Every day, in every way, things keep getting better and better, no?

Bonus thought: 21/ Most people are fairly compassionate and have good intentions (this is good)

As a result, most people deeply struggle to understand that some people, including our 'leaders', CAN have malicious or perverse intentions (this is bad)."
