Would Vitamin D Have Saved Half of Covid Deaths?

By

I launched an information campaign to raise awareness about the use of vitamin D for COVID-19 back in June 2020. My own vitamin D review was published October 31, 2020, in the high-impact, peer-reviewed journal Nutrients.1

At the time, 14 observational studies suggested vitamin D levels are inversely linked with the incidence or severity of COVID-19, and my paper concluded, “The evidence seems strong enough that people and physicians can use or recommend vitamin D supplements to prevent or treat COVID-19.”2

I was widely vilified and discredited in the media for bringing attention to vitamin D’s potential for COVID-19. The New York Times, in their July 2021 front-page hit piece,3 even dubbed me, “The most Influential spreader of coronavirus misinformation online,” in an attempt to minimize my efforts. The reporter claimed she could not verify my published study on vitamin D, even though I sent her a link to it, and it’s easy to find online.

Now, however, as is usually the case, the truth is being set free. An increasing number of studies are confirming what I said in 2020 — that vitamin D is a potent and highly effective intervention for COVID-19. Continue reading “Dr. Mercola: Would Vitamin D Have Saved Half of Covid Deaths?” →

How Can You Strengthen Your Mind with Vitamin D? Listen In!

A recent study by Ghahremani et al. looked at data from 12,388 participants who were dementia free at the beginning of the study to determine the effect of prescribed vitamin D supplementation on the risk of developing dementia over the ten-year study period. The study found a 40% decreased risk of developing dementia among those taking vitamin D supplements.

Dr. John Campbell: Vitamin D and Diabetes — Reduced risk for diabetes by 76% (>50 ng/ml vs. <30 ng/ml blood levels) — Big Pharma says nothing!!

Risk reduction by blood levels:

Vitamin D reduced risk for diabetes by 76%

Dr. Campbell is only taking 4,000 iu of D3, but suspects he should be taking more. Unlike the US, UK won’t allow vitamin D blood tests, so Dr. Campbell can’t check his D blood levels. Dr. Berg and my naturopath recommend 10,000 iu for most people. Obese and people with chronic illnesses can often do better with more than 10,000 iu. Lots of data at VitaminDwiki.com.

Health benefits of vitamin K2 | Foods highest in K2

On By Jeff FenskeIn Health, Vitamin D

“..vitamin K2 supports calcium transportation. Vitamin K2 works with vitamin D. Vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 are important to take together. Vitamin D raises calcium in the blood, but vitamin K2 pushes calcium from the blood into the bone.”

The health benefits of vitamin K2:
• It supports healthy bones
• It supports strong teeth
• It helps prevent calcium from building up in the arteries, cartilage, and joints
• It helps support healthy blood sugar levels
• It helps generate ATP (energy)
• It supports healthy testosterone levels
• It supports the brain

Vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 are fat-soluble—low-fat diets may lead to a vitamin K2 deficiency. Cheese, especially hard cheese, is a rich source of vitamin K2, with Muenster cheese at the top of the list.

Other foods high in vitamin K2:
• Grass-fed butter
• Goose liver
• Duck liver
• Duck fat
• Eel
• Beef liver
• Lamb’s liver
• Ground beef
• Grass-fed hot dogs
• High-quality bacon
• Pork
• Sauerkraut
• Cod liver oil

Breast Cancer Risk ~70% Lower with Higher Vitamin D (60+ ng/ml) – Part 5

In a previous post we summarized an analysis published by GrassrootsHealth that showed women with vitamin D levels at or above 60 ng/ml (150 nmol/L) had an 80% lower breast cancer risk compared to women with levels less than 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L). In another post we discussed a study that found the same result among women in the United Kingdom — an 83% lower breast cancer risk with vitamin D levels above 60 ng/ml. In today’s blog we will summarize the findings from a third study, a 2019 meta-analysis by Song et al. which analyzed data from 70 observational studies.

Breast Cancer Risk Declined as Vitamin D Level Rose

The dose response relationship between vitamin D level and breast cancer risk is shown on the chart below. Specifically, the researchers found a 6% decrease in breast cancer risk for every 2 ng/ml (5 nmol/L) increase in vitamin D level. This translates to a 71% lower risk from 20 to 60 ng/ml (50 to 150 nmol/L).

Dr. Zink wants massive surveillance, admits officials made Covid policy ‘without the data’

On By Jeff FenskeIn BIG Pharma, Covid-19 Truth, People, Police State, Vaccines, Vitamin D

Dr. Anne Zink TOTALLY IGNORED the peer reviewed studies that proved high enough VITAMIN D levels REDUCED the SEVERITY of Covid by 1,000-1,500%! The first such study was published early in the pandemic in April 2020.

Zink hasn’t said one word about the truth about vitamin D, which makes her RESPONSIBLE — lying by omission and commission. Few Alaskans would have died if their vitamin D levels were above 50 ng/ml, if people would have tested their D levels instead of lining up for the unreliable PCR tests that didn’t cure Covid.

The majority of Alaskans are still deficient or insufficient with levels of about 10-20 ng/ml. And Zink still says NOTHING about the main key to Covid and a main key to many health issues, longevity and DEPRESSION!

Fast acting D, calcifediol could have been used in hospitals to treat Covid late too, saving many who entered the hospital low in D.

Big Pharma is “love of money” driven, not wellness driven. They can’t patent and make $billions from vitamin D. The American Medical Association was started by John D. Rockefeller to make medicine a business model, not a wellness model.

If Pharma had told the truth about vitamin D, they couldn’t have gotten emergency use authorization for their jabs that damaged many, so they destroyed many lives in order to make ~$100 billion for Pharma.

Dr. Zink wants massive surveillance, admits officials made Covid policy ‘without the data’

By AlaskaWatchman.com

Dr. Anne Zink is a formidable and controversial player when it comes to directing public healthcare policy both in Alaska and across the nation. As Alaska’s chief medical officer, she has enthusiastically and relentlessly pushed pro-Covid jab messaging. Now, as the new leader of a powerful left-leaning public policy organization, she is poised to step onto the national stage as a leading advocate for massive expansion of government health surveillance and crackdown on so-called “misinformation.”

Appointed in 2019 by Gov. Mike Dunleavy to advise him on how to create and implement health policy across Alaska, Zink quickly became a polarizing public figure for her largely uncritical support of experimental Covid shots, the downplaying of natural immunity and a refusal to publicly acknowledge the benefits of early treatment methods like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

Low Vitamin D Linked to Depressed Teens – Simple Solution to a Very Big Problem — Many put on antidepressants instead

1:50 “This is a very simple solution to a very big problem. Unfortunately, a lot of kids are put on antidepressant medication, when I think they should just take some vitamin D.”

DATA: Depressed adolescents in a case-series were low in vitamin D and depression was ameliorated by vitamin D supplementation
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22372707

A study I read recently talked about how vitamin D levels could be linked to depressed teens. A few symptoms linked to a vitamin D deficiency are sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest, loss of concentration, and even thoughts of suicide.

Potential causes of a vitamin D deficiency in teens:
• Not getting enough sun
• Not consuming enough vegetables (not enough magnesium)
• Snacking (insulin resistance blocks vitamin D)
• A high carb diet (fructose blocks vitamin D)
• Obesity (increases the need for vitamin D)
• Darker skin blocks vitamin D absorption

Other symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency:
• Achy joints
• Low back pain
• Lethargy
• Insomnia
• Anxiety

Natural remedies:
• Vitamin D (10,000 IUs)
• Magnesium
• Vitamin K2

Dr. Berg: 7 Ways to Boost Vitamin D — 10,000 IU/day average person; many need more

On By Jeff FenskeIn Health, Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential to support a healthy body, but most people are low in vitamin D.

The RDAs for vitamin D are 600 IU. These RDAs are based on preventing bone loss. However, vitamin D has many other functions that go way beyond bone health.

I believe the average person should have around 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily. This could be a good maintenance dose, but if you have certain conditions, you may need more.

It’s nearly impossible to get the amount of vitamin D you need from your diet alone. You have to be largely dependent on the sun for vitamin D.

Factors that can negatively affect vitamin D absorption:
• Low stomach pH
• Gut inflammation
• Kidney problems
• Liver problems
• Bile deficiency
• Insulin resistance
• Polymorphism
• Obesity
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Low diversity of microbes
• High stress
• A low-fat diet
• Certain medications
• Inability to swallow large capsules
• Darker skin types
• Age
• Living further from the equator
• The winter months
• Low magnesium, zinc, or K2
• Not spending enough time outdoors

The best ways to boost vitamin D:
1. Get one hour of sun per day [if sun angle is above 45°]
2. Take vitamin D with fat or a meal that contains enough magnesium and zinc
3. Do keto and intermittent fasting
4. Consume more fatty fish or cod liver oil
5. Take vitamin D in liquid form
6. Consume more vitamin D (if a genetic factor is preventing absorption)
7. Increase your bile

FLCCC is including calcifediol (fast acting D) in their early Covid treatment protocol, which the body can use right away if sick from Covid, unlike Vitamin D3, which can take many weeks to build up to high enough levels, and can be hard to digest if seriously ill from Covid; though, extra high doses of D3 can be used if calcifediol isn’t available for those seriously ill from Covid.

They also say in their Covid prevention protocol:

Dosing recommendations for Vitamin D…. The optimal target is over 50 ng/ml; at this level the risk of dying from COVID-19 is extremely reduced. It may take many months or years to achieve optimal levels in patients who are extremely Vitamin D deficient.
