Alaska Medical Lab Services has first-class low-cost Medical Lab testing at a fraction of the costs that other Medical Labs offer.
As of October, 2021, the cost of vitamin D, 25 hydroxy test is $75, including blood draw.
NOTE: The ‘reference range’ on their report is 30-100 ng/ml

LABORATORY
Vitamin D: What Level is Normal vs Optimal?
… When testing with ZRT, you will receive a result that is reflective of your total 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D status (vitamin D2 plus Vitamin D3) in blood. This is the storage form of vitamin D, which is converted by the kidneys to the biologically active form, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. …
Reference Range
The reference range, a term often used in conjunction with laboratory testing, is a set of values that include the upper and lower limits of a lab test based on a group of otherwise healthy individuals. For a laboratory to determine the appropriate reference range for their testing population, often hundreds to thousands of normal, healthy patients are tested. To date, ZRT has tested over 60,000 patients to assess their vitamin D levels. When looking at the patient results, we determined that the majority of patients tested have total vitamin D levels between 20 and 80 ng/mL; that is, 86% of patients tested fall within this range. Based on years of patient testing and data analysis, we have updated our laboratory report reference range to reflect that values between 20-80 ng/mL are representative of a normal patient population.
Normal versus Optimal
This raises the issue: is normal the same thing as optimal? Not necessarily. The Vitamin D Council places the ideal level between 40 and 80 ng/mL with levels below 20 ng/mL as deficient. The Endocrine Society has a Clinical Practice Guideline on the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of vitamin D deficiency. This guideline recommends a minimum vitamin D level of 20 ng/mL, but to guarantee sufficiency they recommend between 30 and 50 ng/mL for both children and adults. In contrast, the Vitamin D Council states that even levels between 30 and 40 ng/mL are still not quite sufficient. On the other end of the spectrum, results that fall between 80 and 100 ng/mL are not achievable naturally; that is, they are only reached with some form of vitamin D supplementation. So, while they are not harmful levels, they are instead reflective of supplementation and therefore not what would be detected in a “normal” patient population.
The Flexner Report (which discredited all forms of medicine except allopathy) was the tool by which John D. Rockefeller used the AMA to dominate Western Medicine with Big Pharma drugs.
After the Flexner Report, the AMA only endorsed schools with a drug-based curriculum. It didn’t take long before non-allopathic schools fell by the wayside due to lack of funding.
How John D. Rockefeller Used The AMA To Take Over Western Medicine
The Flexner Report was a very useful tool commissioned by oil magnate John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller had made a massive fortune with Standard Oil and was setting his sights on gaining a monopoly in the drug and pharmaceutical industry.
However, first he had to get rid of the competition, which consisted of natural non-allopathic healing modalities – naturopathy, homeopathy, eclectic medicine (botanical and herbal medicine), holistic medicine, etc.
Hemp was also a threat to his plans, since cannabis has tremendous medical benefit – it can be used to alleviate pain for numerous diseases and even has anti-cancer properties.
I’m not going to finish this post for now. I’m so disappointed with the ending, a pastor teaching the false doctrine of OSAS, “once saved, always saved,” taking verses out of context — what I believe is the main problem in America — very few pastors even actually abiding in Christ so we’re salt and light.
Otherwise, the film is mostly excellent.

Another preprint study, published September 25, 2021 [Now published in Nutrients doi: 10.3390/nu13103596 – ed.], shows the correlation between low vitamin D levels and the risk of getting COVID-19.
In this retrospective examination of one population study and seven clinical studies where vitamin D3 levels were measured on the day of hospitalization, researchers said, “The two datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than a side effect of the infection.”
They suggested that it may be possible to “prevent or mitigate” new COVID outbreaks by simply raising people’s vitamin D3 levels to 50 ng/ml or above. Even though they said they believe vaccination is part of the fight against COVID, they added that the ongoing evidence of the part vitamin D plays in the risk for contracting the infection is especially important because the virus continues to mutate, which challenges the effectiveness of the vaccines.

In fat soluble vitamins, they use something called IU’s or International Units, which is the potency or concentration of something. You don’t really need to be alarmed if you see large amounts of IU’s. Take vitamin D with vitamin K2 which works with D3 to help mobilize calcium and keeping it from going in the wrong place. Hypercalcemia is not very common and it is too much calcium in the blood. [“And it’s so simple to fix it and reverse it.”]

Some Anchorage doctors dispute New York Times story on Alaska’s Covid crisis
The New York Times says doctors in Alaska are now having to make a choice about who lives and who dies. … Must Read Alaska has reached out to doctors in Anchorage who are disputing that care is being rationed in Alaska. …
Another doctor…. “A quasi elective heart surgery can be (and often was) delayed if it looks like there won’t be staff to cover what is likely to be a 2-3 day stint in the ICU recovering. Covid has complicated this because these patients, once intubated and vented, rarely get better and often take a month to die,” [because they don’t use the inexpensive, proven treatments that cure Covid – ed.] he said. …
“’We have the most highly sophisticated medicine [$3000+ Remdesivir that’s shutting down patients’ kidneys and death-sentence ventilators, but no inexpensive, fast acting vitamin D (calcifediol), zinc, Ivermectin, ozone or nebulized hydrogen peroxide – ed.] and advanced training in the world, and we’re having to ration care,” Dr. Javid Kamali, an intensive-care doctor at Providence, told the Wall Street Journal.” …
Starting at 34:15:
“Here in Anchorage, we have the good sisters of Providence, the Catholic charities of Providence Hospital, a national chain. I’m picking on them because they are a greedy, selfish organization that I resent on such deep levels for what they’ve done in my state.” … They’re taking up to $100 million a year in profits out of Alaska per year, and in Alaska, we have the highest medical insurance cost in the world. … This non-profit hospital and its chain, when Covid began had over $100 billion in their cash reserves. … Then they took $573 million of yours and my tax money to add to that reserve during Covid. … Is that right? They’re a non-profit 501(c)(3) doing charitable work, but they don’t pay a penny in taxes. … This is a corrupt operation.”
Non-profit laws need to be changed. EKGs 10 times more expensive here than in the Mayo Clinic. Prices should be posted. In some countries, they can tell us how much a surgery will cost. Not here. Billing codes.

The best way to know how much vitamin D you need is to have your levels tested. Data from GrassrootsHealth’s D*Action studies suggest the optimal level for health and disease prevention is between 60 ng/mL and 80 ng/mL, while the cutoff for sufficiency appears to be around 40 ng/mL.
“Right now, what is plaguing this country is the spirit of fear.”
O’Malley said it is more important to shine a light on corruption than to fear retaliation from the powers that be:
James O’Keefe, Project Veritas founder: “What would you say to people who are in a position where they can do something?”
Jodi O’Malley, Insider and Registered Nurse, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: “I say that we have to do something. Right now, what is plaguing this country is the spirit of fear.”
O’Keefe: “Are you afraid?”
O’Malley: “It’s my career, you know? It’s how I help people. But am I afraid? I wouldn’t necessarily say I am afraid because my faith lies in God and not man. So, I have two older kids that are on their own, and I have a twelve-year-old at home that I care for on my own, but you know, what kind of person would I be if I knew all of this — this is evil. This is evil at the highest level. You have the FDA, you have the CDC, that are both supposed to be protecting us, but they are under the government, and everything that we’ve done so far is unscientific.”

Serious threats of violence against Mayor Bronson for not supporting the Assembly’s proposed mask mandate, because Big Pharma, Media and Government has falsely convinced them that everyone wearing masks protects them, when masks don’t work, and often cause harm.
Dr. Farr responded to Dan Fagan mentioning the widespread claim that 70-90% of those in hospitals today are non-vaccinated:

People should NOT wear masks when exercising, as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably.
Sweat can make the mask become wet more quickly which makes it difficult to breathe and promotes the growth of microorganisms. The important preventive measure during exercise is to maintain physical distance of at least one meter from others.

Discussion
This study investigated the correlation between vitamin D levels as a marker of a patient’s immune defense and resilience against COVID-19 and presumably other respiratory infections. It compared and merged data from two completely different datasets. The strength of the chosen approach lies in its diversity, as data from opposite and independent parts of the data universe yielded similar results. This result strengthens the hypothesis that a fatal outcome from COVID-19 infection, apart from other risk factors, is strongly dependent on the vitamin D status of the patient. The mathematical regressions suggested that the lower threshold for healthy vitamin D levels should lie at approximately 125 nmol/L or 50 ng/ml 25(OH)D3, which would save most lives, reducing the impact even for patients with various comorbidities.
This is – to our knowledge – the first study that aimed to determine an optimum D3 level to minimize COVID-19 mortality, as other studies typically limit themselves to identifying odds ratios for 2–3 patient cohorts split at 30 ng/ml or lower.
Another study confirmed that the number of infections clearly correlated with the respective D3 levels, with a cohort size close to 200,000 [115]. A minimum number of infections was observed at 55 ng/ml. …
Scientific literature and health experts assert that 50+ ng/ml, not 30 ng/ml, is the optimal serum vitamin D level we should all strive for to support our health and well-being.

Is Taking Too Much Vitamin D A Real Concern? (Hint: Probably Not!)
Vitamin D is a vital nutrient involved in immune support, bone health, muscle function, and more.* … To reach optimal levels of 50 ng/mL (the true goal for vitamin D sufficiency), food alone just doesn’t cut it; you would need an unreasonable amount of vitamin-D-rich foods (like six servings of trout) to even make a dent.
That, folks, is where supplements come into play: Trusted nutrition and medical experts recommend 5,000 I.U. of vitamin D3 (the body’s preferred form) per day to help you get to—and stay!—above that 50 ng/mL threshold.
This study was cited by Anchorage’s chief medical officer Dr. Savitt in the Anchorage Assembly meeting on 9/13/21 at 3:21:45. It’s clear now that Dr. Savitt’s explanation of this study was misunderstood. In assemblyman John Weddleton’s 4-minute justification for voting for the mask mandate (while touching his mask 21 times in 4 minutes), he claimed this “10% effectiveness” of mask would be helpful. BUT THE STUDY DIDN’T SAY “10% EFFECTIVENESS.” They were measuring “EFFICIENCIES.” The 3-ply cloth masks stopped 10% of the viral particles, allowing 90% to go right through, of which many particles could be measured at 6.5 feet.
Dr. Savitt said the cloth mask is “about 11% effective.” The article stated that the cloth masks were 3-ply, and were 9.8% effective in stopping particles from releasing through the mask. That means 90.2% of the particles went right through, not that the masks were 9.8% effective in stopping people from getting Covid, which some misunderstood, because Dr. Savitt compared it to Assembly Person Crystal Kennedy’s Bangladesh study, which was trying to quantify overall effectiveness also using 3-ply masks. The Bangladesh study is not peer reviewed, and has many problems that they actually admit in the study. They were claiming about a 5% benefit from 3-ply cloth masks.

Experimental investigation of indoor aerosol dispersion and accumulation in the context of COVID-19: Effects of masks and ventilation
July 2021 The Physics of Fluids 33(7)
DOI:10.1063/5.0057100
IV. CONCLUSIONS The present study experimentally investigates the dispersion and accumulation of aerosol particles in indoor environments in the con- text of the guidelines proposed by national health agencies to control the transmission of COVID-19. Experiments were conducted in a controlled laboratory environment with a test manikin in a seated position mimicking relaxed exhalation through the nose, typical of an average adult. The manikin was equipped with five different commercially available masks that have seen widespread use throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both near-field flow visualizations and far-field particle concentration measurements allow for a holistic investigation of the effect of masks and ventilation in the test room, and provide a quantitative measure relative to aerosol concentrations and mask efficiencies of interest for transmission risk assessment, model development, and implementation of adaptive health and safety practices at workplace. The results highlight that (i) considerable rela- tive aerosol concentration levels can be reached at a 2 m distance from the subject in an unventilated space, and even when the subject is equipped with a mask, the relative concentrations are notably higher than those expected based on the ideal/rated efficiency of the masks; (ii) fit of the mask to the face, in terms of limiting leakage around the mask perimeter, is critical for limiting aerosol dispersion in an unven- tilated space, especially for high efficiency masks (e.g., N95/KN95); and (iii) increased ventilation/air-cleaning capacity significantly reduces the transmission risk in an indoor environment, surpassing the apparent mask filtration efficacy even at relatively low air-change rates (2 room volumes per hour).
Defeat Covid and other ailments for free by superoxygenating the body!
Works similar to ozone, nebulized hydrogen peroxide and hyperbaric oxygen therapies.
Repeat as often as needed, maybe hourly if fighting something serious. Wim doesn’t specify how often. He led a team of dozens who defeated e-coli bacteria in an experiment using this method.
Breath holds are likely not necessary for virus fighting, but can help mental clarity, maybe brain function. The main thing is to superoxygenate, which kills invasive organisms.
