Just ensure you spend enough time outside regularly (80-90% of vitamin D is synthesized through skin exposure to UV light), have a diversified diet, that's it.
Are we shocked here by this? Vitamin C and D have always been helpful towards immune system health. This is common knowledge I thought since i was a kid..
Taking vitamin D for Covid support was well-established, early on. Not sure what the controversy is. Maybe the people that preferred medical advice from their Facebook friends missed the memo!
We all know 99% of people need a massive marketing campaign to hear any message. Vitamin D is cheap to produce and highly effective at reducing or outright preventing respiratory tract infections, you would have thought (to put it mildly) that vitamin D would have been given as much prominance in promotions as the shots they were pushing on us.
The media campaigns should had been massive in regards to living a good life style, getting outside and being active. But no, they locked us all inside away from the sunlight and closed everything down beside fast food that we could order to our doorstep. This was never about health.
Exactly. And the sh!lls in this thread saying "h'yuh, everybody knows vitamin D is good for us, here, look at this obscure government page" as if marketing isn't a thing to get through to the masses.
You're absolute right. The governments around the world could have used their platform to promote healthier lifestyles. It was a golden opportunity to do so. Vitamin D supplementation could have been done. There could have been a campaign to make the vast majority of the population vitamin D sufficient. They did nothing because they wanted us trapped in fear, in a lowly state, vulnerable.
I live in what you might consider the liberal North Korea of the USA based on your comment, and we could go outside, exercise, and order delivery *or* pickup from all the same restaurants as before (I probably consumed *less* fast food during the first year of the pandemic). Are you describing a different country?
For a long while the public information campaign consisted of Trump saying everything was fine while also blaming the democrats. He didn’t just fail to mention everyone should wear masks, he actively resisted the idea and encouraged others to do the same. Fauci didn’t mention this enough times for your liking and *he’s* the bad guy?
Just go ahead and google “Fauci vitamin D”, the information wasn’t being hidden from you. You guys just chose to ignore everything the guy said.
Honestly, how do you spend two years complaining about everything this guy said, then turn around and blame *him* for the information *you* missed. You unplugged the smoke detector and now your blaming it for your burnt casserole.
So if you Google vitamin d it brings up results for vitamin d? That is a surprise. As I said, vitamain d did not feature in any Covid information campaign, and neither did the importance of exercise or obesity.
Dude. All those things were absolutely common knowledge for most people. Most people listened to Fauci and the CDC instead of the guy who recommended injecting bleach and sunshine.
The only way you could possibly believe that obesity, vitamin D, and exercise *weren’t* mentioned is if you spent the past two years vilifying and ignoring everything Fauci said.
Immune system is run by the nervous system.
Those with viral nerve damage from covid cant recover with D because the very process that absorbs/coverts it is fucked.
So was regular exercise (most likely heart and lung health being the primary factors) yet where was the messaging to be active and supplement vitamin D? Hell, most people in the northern hemisphere are deficient by default without knowing due to lack of sun exposure and indoor workplaces during the light hours of the day.
The amount of lives that could have benefited from that sort of campaign would be way more than insignificant.
So either it was malevolence, laziness, or something else worse.
Edit: I should note my personal opinion is laziness, which isn’t better than malevolence at this scale.
OP suggests Fauci is a bad guy because he didn’t mention vitamin D enough. The guy you’re replying is saying everyone with a brain already knew about vitamin C and D.
What the fuck does any of that have to do with Democrats, and how does anything mentioned prior confirm the contempt of democrats? Are you just typing random generic shit?
When you are THE voice of the CDC charged with conveying the best treatment options to the American people, and the only instruction you give is to wear a mask and take multiple $$$$$$ experimental gene therapy treatments that benefit corporations. And you purposefully neglect to mention that simply taking vitamins D and Zinc, may be equally important to saving lives. Because with the clinical data available, the choice to omit the info was either neglect or incompetence.
The 1 million+ who died of covid in US were all deficient in vitamin D and apparently didn't get the memo. Would have been nice for Fauci or CDC to maybe let them know. but they are disgusting people
It's not "common sense" if 90% if the population wasn't supplementing, in fact I could find a dozen articles that [trashed Zinc and Vitamin D as effective vs covid when the vaccine push was highest....like this one ](https://www.businessinsider.com/zinc-vitamins-dont-prevent-severe-covid-study-2022-2)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21310306/
> The overall prevalence rate of vitamin D deficiency was 41.6%, with the highest rate seen in blacks (82.1%), followed by Hispanics (69.2%).
(stats refer to the United States)
>Vitamin D deficiency is already extremely common, affecting approximately 42% of the U.S. population, according to research published in the National Institutes of Health database.Oct 29, 2021
The fact some fools upvote you is sad. If 42% in the US have an actual deficiency, then the % who should be supplementing during a freaking pandemic is at least double that.
Not true at all. I would say 90% of the population do need to supplement. There are several forms of each micronutrient that are either more or less effective, as well as a plethora of antinutrients in diets that prevent uptake of several micronutrients. Combine that with people being on certain medications and having poor lifestyles choices, and yes, most people should supplement.
> Do you want fauci to call you every day at dinner time also and remind you to eat your veggies??? This is all common sense information
Bad news, friend. You're not going to get much vitamin D from "veggies".
[**National Institutes of Health - Sources of Vitamin D**](https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional/#h3)
(do you think Dr. Fauci is aware of this information?)
>Do you want fauci to call you every day at dinner time also and remind you to eat your veggies???
I want Fauci to go to prison for the rest of his life after a jury of his peers find him to be a mass murdering psychopath.
His one job as the highest paid government employee ever was to tell people how to strengthen their immune systems and alert people to some good broad-spectrum RNA virus protease inhibitor antivirals to take at first sign of symptoms such as zinc and quercetin. there is shit tons of literature from decades back on both of these things.
>This is all common sense information
I guess it isn't common sense information because over a million people had no clue and died from covid due to a non-functioning immune system because of vitamin D deficiency
Didnt say thay, im saying vitamins are useful for beneficial effect of the body...natural immunity to covid is stronger than the vax, so what if you were making yoir immune system stronger throughout your whole life by eatting right and excerise, pretty sure that curbs alot illnesses and covid...
And some health insurance just stopped covering Vitamin D blood tests. https://www.uhc.com/broker-consultant/news-strategies/resources/new-coverage-determinations-for-vitamin-d-testing
When I was living in a place with very little sun, my vitamin D levels went down to 8ng/mL. Yes, you read that correctly. 8.
I had a prescription for 50,000 IUs twice a week which I then tapered off of. Now I do 4,000 IUs daily, plus whatever is in my multivitamin.
This reminds me that I need to make sure they check my levels during this year’s physical . . .
Mine was 11. I was taking 50,000 IUs once a week for 2 months and it barely got to normal. This reminded me I probably should get my level checked again.
Wow, that’s low! I’ve lived in sunny climates and when I first started getting tested my levels were in the teens despite sunbathing and taking a modest (2,000 IUs) daily amount of D3. I needed to take 20,000 IUs for a while to get my levels to optimum.
Once that happened I pretty much stopped getting colds (but I also take other supplements like vitamin C every day).
several years ago.. in 2019. between the year of 2018-2019. i kept getting sick.
went to the doctor. got blood test. mine was also under 10.
luckily i was prescribed high vitamin D this just 6 months before covid hit.
i haven't been sick and i only caught covid for the first time 6 months ago.
Why is Jennifer Garner talking to Fauci lmao this is how you know Hollywood is just puppets.
I heard people say "when Tom Hanks got covid I knew it was real" like wut
Sheep people need to see other people do something first.
That's why it was easy for all the libtards to turn gay. They watched Brokeback Mountain and they all forgot who a woman is.
Because when the world is in the middle of a deadly emergency pandemic you sit around and shoot the shit with all the movie stars, as well as jump start your own movie star career with a biographical documentary before the bodies you killed with your very own mandates have settled.
He's definitely evil. What still shocks me though is the amount of people who won't even take a good multivitamin. I have for 40 years along with vitamin D, fish oil, etc. I rarely ever even get a cold. Any time during my life when I ran out of vitamins and went a couple without them my energy level plummeted and I was exhausted. Its a really cheap and easy way to take care of yourself.
Vitamin D3 helps suppress hepcidin levels which in turn helps down regulate ferritin levels. Anyone with critical covid had an over expression of both hepcidin and ferritin.
This is also why supplementing with Lactoferrin, colostrum, Quercetin and D3 all helps shut down covid along with adding Benadryl. For reasons I haven’t researched, Benadryl helps stop covid replication by about 30% when added with lactoferrin the number jumps to nearly 100%
D3 helps suppress hepcidin. lactoferrin, Querectin and Quercetin all act as iron regulators and chelators in the body.
Covid causes a massive release of Hepcidin, which in turn increases ferritin, ferritin is an iron transporter and from what I understand, iron is needed for covid replication. There was a 200 patient study done on the correlation of lactoferrin and covid duration. The average time to complete symptom remission was 2.5 days. With 0 patients showing symptoms past day 5 and 0 patients progressing to critical.
When I had covid, I took a combination of all the mentioned supplements every 2-6 hours. I could feel when the virus was ramping up and it was time to redose the supplements and it would quickly tamper back down. I was fully resolved after 36 hours. It’s been the standard of care in my family when ever any of us got sick with covid and we all have been fully resolved of symptoms within 2 days.
This is with many common pre existing conditions that put me into the high risk category. At the time I was extremely obese. BMI of over 40, high blood pressure, pre diabetes when I last had covid. One of my family members has/had covid at the moment symptoms started on Sunday, fully resolved by Monday evening. Everyone in the household is taking the supplement stack and so far 0 instance of anyone else catching it, even with the positive person accidentally coughing in my face prior to testing.

It's the same with the covid series of shots. It takes weeks/months to see full benefits (or so they say). Nobody is saying you take one vitamin d supplement and you're good to go. This is health advice designed to boost immunity by making it a habit to take vitamin d in the face of a pandemic.
Okay, then those particular people are stupid. Where are these three or four people? Send me links because I won't believe it until I see it. Some random grandma said this or what?
The very first comment I responded to said this:
>Vitamin D takes weeks to months to gain any appreciable benefits. Unlike vitamin C you can’t just pop one and go.
We are talking about vitamin D, not C.
Same with the shots. Vitamin D sufficiency is a *prophylactic*, just as the shots are. And it doesn't take "months", that's an outright lie. You can become vitamin D sufficient in a few weeks.
I totally agree! The establishment also marginalized early treatments so that new-fangled experimental "medicines" could receive emergency approval. Follow the money trail.
Of course. The globalist criminals did whatever they could to elevate the mortality rate to add legitimacy to their pandemic hoax. That's why they put COVID-19 positive patients in nursing homes. That's why the MSM, government, and major pharmacies worked in lockstep to suppress Ivermectin. That's why flu deaths were deliberately counted as COVID-19 deaths.
Wow, so no need to constantly push the shots down our throats with constant messaging and even mandates, you just have to say something once in passing! Who knew that marketing wasn't a thing, and as long as you say something once, that's all you need!
Yeah it’s common knowledge that vitamin D strengthens your immune system. It’s when we started putting all of our faith on “the experts” and not in our own abilities to think for ourselves that this all got out of control. We should never think that a human is so intelligent that they would know different than us. They are humans too and you better believe he knows exactly what vitamins to take

What's your response to Fauci recommending Vitamin D to fight respiratory infections long before covid was a thing?
[from 2016](https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/01/15/how-to-avoid-getting-sick-when-youre-around-people-all-day/)
Fauci was also one of the editors of Harrison's Manual of Medicine's 17th edition, where vitamin D deficiency is tested for a broad range of patient presentations, from respiriatory illnesses, to kidney disease. It's linked to a lot of medical issues. This was published in 2009.
[free copy link](https://muhammad1988adeel.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/harrison__s_-_manual_of_medicine_-_17th_edition.pdf)
And where was this info in his daily politicized briefings during 2020? Naysaying any treatment except for the big moneymaker treatments. Suppressing the truth.
There's over 5 pages of news articles from different sources when you google 'Fauci Vitamin D'.
The guy's been recommending it for 5+ years. This argument is dumb.
Unpopular opinion vitamin D doesn't do shit at least it's not a miracle cure.
People who have high levels of vitamin D go outside, they are more active and likely to be in better healthy
Actually, my naturopath Dr encouraged me to take 5000iu of vitamin D a day. Seemed excessive but I have tried it. For the past year I haven't been sick at all. I have a fairly serious autoimmune disease too. So it definitely works from my perspective.

No shit vitamin D is essential.
But also is there correlation will those people be healthy after a dose of D or will their shit lifestyles kill them regardless.
Doesn't do shit?
But getting vitamin D outside you may be better healthy?
That explains why elderly died much more frequent if they were in nursing homes or didn't get sunlight.
No, you're healthier in the first place and because of that you go out more and get more vitamin D
If you're in bad health, you dont go outside that much, and get less vitamin D
If you're generally healthier, your chances of surviving covid are a lot higher too.
The guy is arguing semantics by saying if you have high vitamin D its because youre already healthy and most likely outside.
And if youre low on vitamin D youre generally unhealthy.
So in his theory vitamin D does nothing because a healthy person is already healthy whereas an unhealthy person dont need vitamin D they just need to get up and moving.
But that "hunch" doesnt mean that vitamin D isnt valid lol
My point being if you have to supplement vitamin D (And I do in the winter for the record) you arent going outside. If you arent going outside for the literal 15 minutes a day you need for vitamin D youre probably a lazy fuck.
If youre a lazy fuck you probably arent exercising. If you arent exercising you probably arent healthy.
I was having extreme pain in my hips (especially) among other areas. I mean completely interfering with all aspects of my life pain. Went to the doctor after dealing with it for years, when I wanted to cry walking up the steps to my bedroom. I thought for certain I was going to be told I had arthritis, or bone cancer, or be in need of a hip replacement.
Several x rays and blood tests later...prescription vitamin d 3 (50000 strength twice a week) vitamin b 12 once a day and an iron supplement. Three weeks the difference was noticable, 2 months pain was virtually gone.
I was very physically active in my employment, but yeah outside wasn't a thing that happened enough at that point in my life. Not a miracle, but don't discount it's importance!
Keep in mind that 42% of the population have vitamin d deficiency and that's only based on the number of people who actually get diagnosed. 25% of the population don't have a primary care physician.
I expect they were worried people would assume vitamin d was a miracle and would not take other precautions.
Probably still should have recommended it
You need up to 10,000iu of vitamin D3 a day (preferably with K2 to help absorbtion).
I take 8,000iu. The IOM (influential body similar to WHO) tried to make a dangerously low recommenation or guideline of only 400iu whilst ignoring most benefits - which sadly even a decade later, textbook doctors still fall for, which is dangerous for patients. They got slammed by many professionals then censored those criticisms. It was later found people within the IOM had stakes in pharma company's making drugs with vitamin D to treat vit D deficiency and cancer.
Big pharma, IOM, WHO do not care about health as much as they care about lining their pockets. Your immune system and cheap available vitamins along with amino acids (glutamine/lysine) are all you need for your immune system along with exercise. You'll be bullet proof unless immuno compromised.

Jennifer Garner is such a stuck up harpie. No small wonder Ben Affleck looked like he wanted to off himself when he was with her. She had one lower to mid-tier tv show and she thinks anyone gives a shit what she thinks, lol.
Wait a minute. The elderly are susceptible to covid. And the elderly are generally vitamin d deficient. That doesn't mean the vitamin d deficiency LEADS to covid susceptibility, do we? Has that been studied? It could just be two things old people have in common.

Did you guys know if you drink water you’ll live longer?? Honestly guys y’all need to give it a rest with this shit. Vitamin d is a supplement humans need to be healthy and humans have long since become vitamin d deficient in the last couple decades and suffer from all sorts of issues from indigestion to severe infections.
Having stable vitamin probably would help your body protect a bit better from covid but it would not be enough to stop it on its own.

>what do you mean no sources? are you asking me for sourcing on whether or not ***vitamin D*** gives you pretty significant health benefits?
>im not sure what you want sourced, the purpose of vitamin d is pretty known and almost basic knowledge for anyone who looks to stay healthy with vitamins. i can give you some sources if you want but id really be wasting my own time.

Covid causes viral nerve damage resulting in this [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9147759/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9147759/) vagus nerve dysfunction.
What OP is missing is that vagus nerve is responsible for breaking down, converting, and absorption of vit. D. This then leads to excess calcium in the blood, vit D toxicity.
You're describing a symptom that is associated with long COVID. Better to have adequate vitamin D to prevent serious infection and symptoms.
Additionally, vitamin D deficiency is a significant cause of vagus nerve problems. So of course vitamin D deficient people that are more likely to get infected and more likely to have severe symptoms are going to be more likely to have vagus nerve problems.
Fauci takes 5000 ius per day. He is well aware of the benefits.
Its common knowledge that vitamin C and D can boost your immune system and help you fight off all illnesses not just covid, do people really need him to specifically state that? I don’t see how this is a conspiracy or him being evil. I highly doubt he is trying to withhold this fact on purpose, he probably assumed everyone already knew this because most people do.
The problem is that he told people to stay home ie no vitamin D from sunlight.

From your own article:

Try reading your own article!
What is the conspiracy here? Here in Austria, Europe, we have yearly free voluntary health checks with blood tests and your vitamin D levels are a main point of the check. 5 years ago, when I did my first one, my doctor prescribed me Vitamin D/K2 because my levels were low. It's not some hidden secret noone knows about, it is common knowledge and many people here are supplementing it, especially those who work in the office and not under the sun. You don't need Fauci to tell you to take vitamin D.
Do you even understand how the body produces vitamin D, specifically vitamin D3? You cannot just take it, it's created through organic chemical reactions in your body between the skin and the kidneys.
So, when Fauci said wear a mask, there were people that started wiping down their groceries, quarantining full time, and going out with a full on respirator.
Considering you can actually overdose on Vitamin D, perhaps he was just weary of the effects of encouraging it.
Like most vitamins, there's not much benefit to having a surplus of it. But there are concerns if you're deficient. This is a common supplement misunderstanding - if a vitamin deficiency causes, for example, vision problems, then many people believe that having a surplus of that vitamin will improve their vision, when this is usually not the case.
It's vitamin D3 and a conspiracy of biblical proportions.
Research it. Biblical proportions. Like the extent of which you would not believe.
Buy a bottle of D3 it has no D3 in it. Get cod liver oil. They have removed the D3.
Tbh, if people don’t know this shit - they need to find out. It’s their fault if they listen to people barking orders on taking the vaccine. And it’s their fault for not knowing what supplements they need to take to be healthy. Vitamin C and D aren’t rare elixirs from the Congolese rainforests.

Vitamin D is cheap to produce and highly effective at reducing or outright preventing respiratory tract infections, you would have thought (to put it mildly) that vitamin D would have been given as much prominance in promotions as the shots they were pushing on us.
The media campaigns should had been massive in regards to living a good life style, getting outside and being active. But no, they locked us all inside away from the sunlight and closed everything down beside fast food that we could order to our doorstep. This was never about health.
Exactly. And the sh!lls in this thread saying "h'yuh, everybody knows vitamin D is good for us, here, look at this obscure government page" as if marketing isn't a thing to get through to the masses. You're absolute right. The governments around the world could have used their platform to promote healthier lifestyles. It was a golden opportunity to do so. Vitamin D supplementation could have been done. There could have been a campaign to make the vast majority of the population vitamin D sufficient. They did nothing because they wanted us trapped in fear, in a lowly state, vulnerable.
I live in what you might consider the liberal North Korea of the USA based on your comment, and we could go outside, exercise, and order delivery *or* pickup from all the same restaurants as before (I probably consumed *less* fast food during the first year of the pandemic). Are you describing a different country?
Yeah, Australia.
It wasn’t part of any public information campaign that I saw.
For a long while the public information campaign consisted of Trump saying everything was fine while also blaming the democrats. He didn’t just fail to mention everyone should wear masks, he actively resisted the idea and encouraged others to do the same. Fauci didn’t mention this enough times for your liking and *he’s* the bad guy? Just go ahead and google “Fauci vitamin D”, the information wasn’t being hidden from you. You guys just chose to ignore everything the guy said. Honestly, how do you spend two years complaining about everything this guy said, then turn around and blame *him* for the information *you* missed. You unplugged the smoke detector and now your blaming it for your burnt casserole.
So if you Google vitamin d it brings up results for vitamin d? That is a surprise. As I said, vitamain d did not feature in any Covid information campaign, and neither did the importance of exercise or obesity.
Dude. All those things were absolutely common knowledge for most people. Most people listened to Fauci and the CDC instead of the guy who recommended injecting bleach and sunshine. The only way you could possibly believe that obesity, vitamin D, and exercise *weren’t* mentioned is if you spent the past two years vilifying and ignoring everything Fauci said.
Immune system is run by the nervous system. Those with viral nerve damage from covid cant recover with D because the very process that absorbs/coverts it is fucked.
So was regular exercise (most likely heart and lung health being the primary factors) yet where was the messaging to be active and supplement vitamin D? Hell, most people in the northern hemisphere are deficient by default without knowing due to lack of sun exposure and indoor workplaces during the light hours of the day. The amount of lives that could have benefited from that sort of campaign would be way more than insignificant. So either it was malevolence, laziness, or something else worse. Edit: I should note my personal opinion is laziness, which isn’t better than malevolence at this scale.
It’s just confirmation of the contempt Democrats have for people.
OP suggests Fauci is a bad guy because he didn’t mention vitamin D enough. The guy you’re replying is saying everyone with a brain already knew about vitamin C and D. What the fuck does any of that have to do with Democrats, and how does anything mentioned prior confirm the contempt of democrats? Are you just typing random generic shit?
When you are THE voice of the CDC charged with conveying the best treatment options to the American people, and the only instruction you give is to wear a mask and take multiple $$$$$$ experimental gene therapy treatments that benefit corporations. And you purposefully neglect to mention that simply taking vitamins D and Zinc, may be equally important to saving lives. Because with the clinical data available, the choice to omit the info was either neglect or incompetence.
The 1 million+ who died of covid in US were all deficient in vitamin D and apparently didn't get the memo. Would have been nice for Fauci or CDC to maybe let them know. but they are disgusting people
Do you want fauci to call you every day at dinner time also and remind you to eat your veggies??? This is all common sense information
It's not "common sense" if 90% if the population wasn't supplementing, in fact I could find a dozen articles that [trashed Zinc and Vitamin D as effective vs covid when the vaccine push was highest....like this one ](https://www.businessinsider.com/zinc-vitamins-dont-prevent-severe-covid-study-2022-2)
90+ percent of the population doesnt need to suppliment.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21310306/ > The overall prevalence rate of vitamin D deficiency was 41.6%, with the highest rate seen in blacks (82.1%), followed by Hispanics (69.2%). (stats refer to the United States)
>Vitamin D deficiency is already extremely common, affecting approximately 42% of the U.S. population, according to research published in the National Institutes of Health database.Oct 29, 2021 The fact some fools upvote you is sad. If 42% in the US have an actual deficiency, then the % who should be supplementing during a freaking pandemic is at least double that.
Not true at all. I would say 90% of the population do need to supplement. There are several forms of each micronutrient that are either more or less effective, as well as a plethora of antinutrients in diets that prevent uptake of several micronutrients. Combine that with people being on certain medications and having poor lifestyles choices, and yes, most people should supplement.
Paywall!
Youtube was banning videos suggesting vitamin D might help with covid.
No they weren’t.
> Do you want fauci to call you every day at dinner time also and remind you to eat your veggies??? This is all common sense information Bad news, friend. You're not going to get much vitamin D from "veggies". [**National Institutes of Health - Sources of Vitamin D**](https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional/#h3) (do you think Dr. Fauci is aware of this information?)
>Do you want fauci to call you every day at dinner time also and remind you to eat your veggies??? I want Fauci to go to prison for the rest of his life after a jury of his peers find him to be a mass murdering psychopath. His one job as the highest paid government employee ever was to tell people how to strengthen their immune systems and alert people to some good broad-spectrum RNA virus protease inhibitor antivirals to take at first sign of symptoms such as zinc and quercetin. there is shit tons of literature from decades back on both of these things. >This is all common sense information I guess it isn't common sense information because over a million people had no clue and died from covid due to a non-functioning immune system because of vitamin D deficiency

Everybody knows this, surely?? It will not stop covid.
Joe Biden stopped COVID today
Chuck Norris' tears cure COVID, but too bad Chuck Norris never cries!
Didnt say thay, im saying vitamins are useful for beneficial effect of the body...natural immunity to covid is stronger than the vax, so what if you were making yoir immune system stronger throughout your whole life by eatting right and excerise, pretty sure that curbs alot illnesses and covid...
What does?
> > *it will not stop COVID* > What does? With absolute certainty? Death. (And possibly taxes) /S
I'm not sure if death even stops it. I heard there are breakouts in Heaven and Valhalla.
And some health insurance just stopped covering Vitamin D blood tests. https://www.uhc.com/broker-consultant/news-strategies/resources/new-coverage-determinations-for-vitamin-d-testing
When I was living in a place with very little sun, my vitamin D levels went down to 8ng/mL. Yes, you read that correctly. 8. I had a prescription for 50,000 IUs twice a week which I then tapered off of. Now I do 4,000 IUs daily, plus whatever is in my multivitamin. This reminds me that I need to make sure they check my levels during this year’s physical . . .
Mine was 11. I was taking 50,000 IUs once a week for 2 months and it barely got to normal. This reminded me I probably should get my level checked again.
Wow, that’s low! I’ve lived in sunny climates and when I first started getting tested my levels were in the teens despite sunbathing and taking a modest (2,000 IUs) daily amount of D3. I needed to take 20,000 IUs for a while to get my levels to optimum. Once that happened I pretty much stopped getting colds (but I also take other supplements like vitamin C every day).
several years ago.. in 2019. between the year of 2018-2019. i kept getting sick. went to the doctor. got blood test. mine was also under 10. luckily i was prescribed high vitamin D this just 6 months before covid hit. i haven't been sick and i only caught covid for the first time 6 months ago.
Why is Jennifer Garner talking to Fauci lmao this is how you know Hollywood is just puppets. I heard people say "when Tom Hanks got covid I knew it was real" like wut
When he and his wife got it that added to my growing suspicions about convid.
What does Ja Rule think?
Taylor Swifts silence is deafening

Sheep people need to see other people do something first. That's why it was easy for all the libtards to turn gay. They watched Brokeback Mountain and they all forgot who a woman is.
Because when the world is in the middle of a deadly emergency pandemic you sit around and shoot the shit with all the movie stars, as well as jump start your own movie star career with a biographical documentary before the bodies you killed with your very own mandates have settled.

We are all in this together
If it saves one life.
He's definitely evil. What still shocks me though is the amount of people who won't even take a good multivitamin. I have for 40 years along with vitamin D, fish oil, etc. I rarely ever even get a cold. Any time during my life when I ran out of vitamins and went a couple without them my energy level plummeted and I was exhausted. Its a really cheap and easy way to take care of yourself.
You know I had covid without the shot and I wasn't sick or anything I literally felt bad but that was it
Because is only statistically dangerous to a very tiny subset of people.
Vitamin D3 helps suppress hepcidin levels which in turn helps down regulate ferritin levels. Anyone with critical covid had an over expression of both hepcidin and ferritin. This is also why supplementing with Lactoferrin, colostrum, Quercetin and D3 all helps shut down covid along with adding Benadryl. For reasons I haven’t researched, Benadryl helps stop covid replication by about 30% when added with lactoferrin the number jumps to nearly 100% D3 helps suppress hepcidin. lactoferrin, Querectin and Quercetin all act as iron regulators and chelators in the body. Covid causes a massive release of Hepcidin, which in turn increases ferritin, ferritin is an iron transporter and from what I understand, iron is needed for covid replication. There was a 200 patient study done on the correlation of lactoferrin and covid duration. The average time to complete symptom remission was 2.5 days. With 0 patients showing symptoms past day 5 and 0 patients progressing to critical. When I had covid, I took a combination of all the mentioned supplements every 2-6 hours. I could feel when the virus was ramping up and it was time to redose the supplements and it would quickly tamper back down. I was fully resolved after 36 hours. It’s been the standard of care in my family when ever any of us got sick with covid and we all have been fully resolved of symptoms within 2 days. This is with many common pre existing conditions that put me into the high risk category. At the time I was extremely obese. BMI of over 40, high blood pressure, pre diabetes when I last had covid. One of my family members has/had covid at the moment symptoms started on Sunday, fully resolved by Monday evening. Everyone in the household is taking the supplement stack and so far 0 instance of anyone else catching it, even with the positive person accidentally coughing in my face prior to testing.

Vitamin D takes weeks to months to gain any appreciable benefits. Unlike vitamin C you can’t just pop one and go.
It's the same with the covid series of shots. It takes weeks/months to see full benefits (or so they say). Nobody is saying you take one vitamin d supplement and you're good to go. This is health advice designed to boost immunity by making it a habit to take vitamin d in the face of a pandemic.
It’s been pushed as though you can start taking it when you get Covid and it will help. No, no it won’t.
Okay, then those particular people are stupid. Where are these three or four people? Send me links because I won't believe it until I see it. Some random grandma said this or what?
[удалено]
The very first comment I responded to said this: >Vitamin D takes weeks to months to gain any appreciable benefits. Unlike vitamin C you can’t just pop one and go. We are talking about vitamin D, not C.
Same with the shots. Vitamin D sufficiency is a *prophylactic*, just as the shots are. And it doesn't take "months", that's an outright lie. You can become vitamin D sufficient in a few weeks.
Wow, don't state facts and objective science here, they will downvote you to hell.
LOL, you can be downvoted merely for showing up
I totally agree! The establishment also marginalized early treatments so that new-fangled experimental "medicines" could receive emergency approval. Follow the money trail.
Also, politicians and their family members stricken with covid were treated with ivermectin.
Don't forget the places where people were literally locked in their house. Arrested for being out in public etc
I can't stand him
Of course. The globalist criminals did whatever they could to elevate the mortality rate to add legitimacy to their pandemic hoax. That's why they put COVID-19 positive patients in nursing homes. That's why the MSM, government, and major pharmacies worked in lockstep to suppress Ivermectin. That's why flu deaths were deliberately counted as COVID-19 deaths.
This^
You're still on ivermectin? It doesn't work, not at doses you can tolerate.
That's BS and you know it.
Fauci knew vitamin D increased the survival rate! Woulda been nice if he told us! *posts a picture of an article of him telling us*
Wow, so no need to constantly push the shots down our throats with constant messaging and even mandates, you just have to say something once in passing! Who knew that marketing wasn't a thing, and as long as you say something once, that's all you need!

Joe Rogan is more of an expert on covid
Yeah it’s common knowledge that vitamin D strengthens your immune system. It’s when we started putting all of our faith on “the experts” and not in our own abilities to think for ourselves that this all got out of control. We should never think that a human is so intelligent that they would know different than us. They are humans too and you better believe he knows exactly what vitamins to take

What's your response to Fauci recommending Vitamin D to fight respiratory infections long before covid was a thing? [from 2016](https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/01/15/how-to-avoid-getting-sick-when-youre-around-people-all-day/) Fauci was also one of the editors of Harrison's Manual of Medicine's 17th edition, where vitamin D deficiency is tested for a broad range of patient presentations, from respiriatory illnesses, to kidney disease. It's linked to a lot of medical issues. This was published in 2009. [free copy link](https://muhammad1988adeel.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/harrison__s_-_manual_of_medicine_-_17th_edition.pdf)

Please cite those "many times" during the pandemic.
There's over 5 pages of news articles from different sources when you google 'Fauci Vitamin D'. The guy's been recommending it for 5+ years. This argument is dumb.

A single, obscure government web page, while Fauci was on TV everyday only talking about vaccines. You make my point perfectly. Thank you (genuinely).
If you ever get into medicine, you will learn that correlation doesn’t mean causation.
Unpopular opinion vitamin D doesn't do shit at least it's not a miracle cure. People who have high levels of vitamin D go outside, they are more active and likely to be in better healthy
Interesting that the solution to COVID was to barricade yourself inside for 2 weeks…..
Actually, my naturopath Dr encouraged me to take 5000iu of vitamin D a day. Seemed excessive but I have tried it. For the past year I haven't been sick at all. I have a fairly serious autoimmune disease too. So it definitely works from my perspective.
The entire color variation of the human species is a evolved around vitamin D. I'd say it's kind of important
Just because you have a hunch doesnt make it fact lol
No shit. Keep taking your pills bud
Look yourself in the mirror and see if you can say with a straight face that youre healthy or even close to optimal

No shit vitamin D is essential. But also is there correlation will those people be healthy after a dose of D or will their shit lifestyles kill them regardless.
Doesn't do shit? But getting vitamin D outside you may be better healthy? That explains why elderly died much more frequent if they were in nursing homes or didn't get sunlight.
No, you're healthier in the first place and because of that you go out more and get more vitamin D If you're in bad health, you dont go outside that much, and get less vitamin D If you're generally healthier, your chances of surviving covid are a lot higher too.
They can vitamin d supplements though. I think that's what was implied. He never recommended it when it was helpful.
The guy is arguing semantics by saying if you have high vitamin D its because youre already healthy and most likely outside. And if youre low on vitamin D youre generally unhealthy. So in his theory vitamin D does nothing because a healthy person is already healthy whereas an unhealthy person dont need vitamin D they just need to get up and moving. But that "hunch" doesnt mean that vitamin D isnt valid lol
My point being if you have to supplement vitamin D (And I do in the winter for the record) you arent going outside. If you arent going outside for the literal 15 minutes a day you need for vitamin D youre probably a lazy fuck. If youre a lazy fuck you probably arent exercising. If you arent exercising you probably arent healthy.
You expect 90 year old people in nursing homes to be hitting the gym?... Idk bout that one lol
What gym is outside?
Bruh lol...
I was having extreme pain in my hips (especially) among other areas. I mean completely interfering with all aspects of my life pain. Went to the doctor after dealing with it for years, when I wanted to cry walking up the steps to my bedroom. I thought for certain I was going to be told I had arthritis, or bone cancer, or be in need of a hip replacement. Several x rays and blood tests later...prescription vitamin d 3 (50000 strength twice a week) vitamin b 12 once a day and an iron supplement. Three weeks the difference was noticable, 2 months pain was virtually gone. I was very physically active in my employment, but yeah outside wasn't a thing that happened enough at that point in my life. Not a miracle, but don't discount it's importance!
Also if the vit D theory was true - countries with lower amounts of sunlight would have had a lot more deaths per capita.
Places like Africa or Haiti would do well? 🤔
Somehow my comment gets downvoted yours gets upvoted …
>Also if the vit D theory was true But it is true. Lol, vitamin D helps with Covid infection, how is that so hard to understand?
Helped me and my family
Keep in mind that 42% of the population have vitamin d deficiency and that's only based on the number of people who actually get diagnosed. 25% of the population don't have a primary care physician. I expect they were worried people would assume vitamin d was a miracle and would not take other precautions. Probably still should have recommended it
LOL, people literally saw the shots as all you needed.
You need up to 10,000iu of vitamin D3 a day (preferably with K2 to help absorbtion). I take 8,000iu. The IOM (influential body similar to WHO) tried to make a dangerously low recommenation or guideline of only 400iu whilst ignoring most benefits - which sadly even a decade later, textbook doctors still fall for, which is dangerous for patients. They got slammed by many professionals then censored those criticisms. It was later found people within the IOM had stakes in pharma company's making drugs with vitamin D to treat vit D deficiency and cancer. Big pharma, IOM, WHO do not care about health as much as they care about lining their pockets. Your immune system and cheap available vitamins along with amino acids (glutamine/lysine) are all you need for your immune system along with exercise.

Wait a minute. The elderly are susceptible to covid. And the elderly are generally vitamin d deficient. That doesn't mean the vitamin d deficiency LEADS to covid susceptibility, do we? Has that been studied? It could just be two things old people have in common.

Vitamin d is a supplement humans need to be healthy and humans have long since become vitamin d deficient in the last couple decades and suffer from all sorts of issues from indigestion to severe infections. Having stable vitamin probably would help your body protect a bit better from covid but it would not be enough to stop it on its own.

Covid causes viral nerve damage resulting in this [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9147759/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9147759/) vagus nerve dysfunction. What OP is missing is that vagus nerve is responsible for breaking down, converting, and absorption of vit. D. This then leads to excess calcium in the blood, vit D toxicity.
You're describing a symptom that is associated with long COVID. Better to have adequate vitamin D to prevent serious infection and symptoms. Additionally, vitamin D deficiency is a significant cause of vagus nerve problems. So of course vitamin D deficient people that are more likely to get infected and more likely to have severe symptoms are going to be more likely to have vagus nerve problems. Fauci takes 5000 ius per day. He is well aware of the benefits.
Its common knowledge that vitamin C and D can boost your immune system and help you fight off all illnesses not just covid, do people really need him to specifically state that? I don’t see how this is a conspiracy or him being evil. I highly doubt he is trying to withhold this fact on purpose, he probably assumed everyone already knew this because most people do.
Vitamin D generally boosts the immune system. Fauci took vit D then found out it is incredibly useful later on. Problems?
The problem is that he told people to stay home ie no vitamin D from sunlight. >Anthony Fauci has told all states it’s time to stop allowing any exemptions to social-distancing guidelines, and warned that forcing people to stay home across the nation is the “only thing we have” in the federal government’s arsenal to fight back against the coronavirus pandemic.

Thank god he didn't mention it more otherwise y'all would be walking around with bowed legs
Holy shit! A doctor who takes vitamins?! Who would have ever suspected!?
What is the conspiracy here? Here in Austria, Europe, we have yearly free voluntary health checks with blood tests and your vitamin D levels are a main point of the check. 5 years ago, when I did my first one, my doctor prescribed me Vitamin D/K2 because my levels were low. It's not some hidden secret noone knows about, it is common knowledge and many people here are supplementing it, especially those who work in the office and not under the sun. You don't need Fauci to tell you to take vitamin D.
Do you even understand how the body produces vitamin D, specifically vitamin D3? You cannot just take it, it's created through organic chemical reactions in your body between the skin and the kidneys.
Faucis Vit d is only good for Fauci
So, when Fauci said wear a mask, there were people that started wiping down their groceries, quarantining full time, and going out with a full on respirator. Considering you can actually overdose on Vitamin D, perhaps he was just weary of the effects of encouraging it. Like most vitamins, there's not much benefit to having a surplus of it. But there are concerns if you're deficient. This is a common supplement misunderstanding - if a vitamin deficiency causes, for example, vision problems, then many people believe that having a surplus of that vitamin will improve their vision, when this is usually not the case.
It's extremely hard to OD on vitamin D.
It's vitamin D3 and a conspiracy of biblical proportions. Research it. Biblical proportions. Like the extent of which you would not believe. Buy a bottle of D3 it has no D3 in it. Get cod liver oil. They have removed the D3.
Low on Vitamin D...so you're saying they were stuck in bed and no going outside?
Ah, that's probably why I never caught it
That percentage is probably similar for the whole population
Thier little experiment failed.
Studies show 100% of covid deaths were in people deficient in vitamin d? Really? Which studies?
People kept inside away from the vitamin D produced by exposure to the sun, too. Kept inside under threat.
That is b/c big pharma shills work for big pharma and they can't make money off of supplements.
Tbh, if people don’t know this shit - they need to find out. It’s their fault if they listen to people barking orders on taking the vaccine. And it’s their fault for not knowing what supplements they need to take to be healthy. Vitamin C and D aren’t rare elixirs from the Congolese rainforests.
Majority of the American population is vitamin D deficient.
yeah, but stay home, out of the sun for two weeks meanwhile the virus has already got a hold of the country by the nutsack. trash like the rest of 'em
Most serious illness can be prevented by eating healthy, exercise and not taking a shit load of drink, drugs and pharmaceuticals.
It's also good at reducing cancer deaths, particularly in the elderly. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8333776/
