Covid-19 is approaching two and a half million confirmed cases and a hundred seventy thousand deaths and probably more by the time you are reading this post. The worst hit areas are typically in the Northern hemisphere. One of the worse hit areas is Northern Italy. That isn’t the bad news.
The horrible news is that there is a solution and all this suffering could be prevented. A solution that is taking way too much time to be considered. If you have been reading my spelling and grammatically challenged blog for any length of time you know what I am about to write.
From my experience vitamin D3 at optimal doses to reach optimal blood levels is the solution. The obstacle that is literally killing people is overcoming our own biases. Those medical doctors educated in American medical schools like I was and probably most medical schools in the world suffer a serve bias.
Yet general public for the most part has this same bias. Most take a daily vitamin assuming it covers the basics and at worse it won’t do any harm. Not too much or too little of any one vitamin. Do most people know much about any one of the vitamins included, probably not? The same holds true for most medical doctors.
However, digging deeper into the medical communities and the general public’s bias is that vitamins, other than in deficiency states (for example vitamin C -scurvy and vitamin D3-rickets) they have no therapeutic value. That vitamins are only important to maintain at adequate levels to keep our bodies running smoothly.
Essentially too little or much leads to an imbalance and thus is bad. The subtlety is this is essentially true in most cases. The cases where this isn’t true, like with vitamin D3, it is crucial to educate yourself to overcome this bias.
We are overwhelmed with information such that we can’t absorb any more information. Like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. For your and your family’s safety we must. The problem is determining what information is important and what isn’t.
There is so much misleading and frankly false information out there that determining what information do you have to know and which to let go of. Well with vitamin d3 it is a complete paradigm shift for so many.
Like medical doctors. That is a large problem as we go to our medical doctors for our trusted health information. In cases like vitamin D3 when medical experts differ, and leading medical organizations are behind the times what do you do? Let me explain.
That is tough as who am I compared to the United States National Institute of Health or the Federal Drug Administration. I can’t answer that for you. What I can say is if you are reading this blog you are curious and trying to educate yourself. My personal philosophy is going where the facts lead you.
In looking at what these major medical institutions are promoting concerning Covid-19 is it working and if so where did it come from? I argue not as they were caught totally by surprise and what is working isn’t something they came up with.
They have on the fly are promoting treatments that individual medical doctors, not committees developed. Even then only treating those already ill. Nothing preventative, nothing! Vaccine? Hopefully if they can even develop one it is better than the 10-60% effectiveness of the influenza vaccine.
Probably not a fair comparison but really the only one out there. Then take this into consideration. As we have already experienced Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus in 2012. Before that the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus first identified in 2003.
As both MERS and SARS are caused by coronaviruses it isn’t like we didn’t have warnings. Both were short lived but had significant death rates. So, based on these preludes, both MERS and SARS are like Covid-19 corona viruses this current response by these organizations is the best they can do.
Who do you have faith in? Also isn’t a natural solution if as in this case there is one that works in alignment with your body better than a pharmaceutical. Since when is a pharmaceutical which often has a list of side effects that would make a lifelong criminal rap sheet pale in comparison better?

I know what you mean about medical bias for D3. I have studied your book and I’m so grateful to you for educating people. I’m trying to talk to my son-in-law about you said of the benefits of D3 because he has been diagnosed with MS, but he will not listen. He is taking very expensive medication which is not supposed to stop the progression of the disease, just slow it down. I am now taking 30,000IU D3 and working to get to COBL at least 100. I have autoimmune disorder that affects the nervous system and the sciatic nerve.

I hope it helps you! You might also look into vitamin B12 and magnesium!
