My 76 year old father got Covid a few weeks ago, he stubbornly refused to call the doctor until the third day when he was very ill and our naturopath dr put him on 100k Vit D and ivermectin and he was better in four days.

I believe. He was Very fortunate to be in a location to find a free thinking medical person.

I’ve been very interested in the inverse relationship that we have developed with the sun...and the mountain of evidence of vitamin D’s importance, which strengthens the argument that humans benefit from reasonable sun exposure.

I wrote about the sun, vitamin D, melatonin, serotonin, sunscreen, and the piles of money being made by keeping everyone out of the sun. Should anyone be interested...

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍 Well done and keep going. It's not just the vitamin D. Far more to it. Have a look at the interaction between the soil and the sun, within us😉

Also look at the family that patented sunscreen🤔🤨😐😑🤦‍♀️

never thought of the sunscreen money, and yes conspiracy angle. I have No doubts about the money, we are targets of WHORES to the highest levels. My favourite and I think accurate word for them.

Vitamin D is the shit, it helps in cancer, it helps in pregnancy, it helps in infection, it helps in autoimmunity.

I conjectured it to work against COVID a couple of years ago just based on its effects on the immune system.

It's also free. Fucking FREE, your body synthesizes it when exposed to the sun.

Also, most people are deficient, get some fuckn sun.

(optimal dosing is higher than the FDA says, but no so high that you can gorge on supplements without care, as hypercalcemia is not a fun time, so YMMV)

Sitting in sun as reading this👌

We don't take any vitamin D in summer as always outside kayaking or swimming or gardening in sun and get more than enough D probably for the year;)

But do you know if we would still need to get the K so no atherosclerosis or is sun different than the vitamin form

Expand full comment

Sun is vastly different from vitamin form. Consider it like eating a wholefood, varied diet (each food with its own benefit plus the multiple synergistic effects due to all the interactions between the many types of molecules),vs eating one food or constituent, like eating nothing but bread. Ok for a bit because of some nutritional benefits, but over the long term, leads to malnutrition.

When your out In the sun, your getting the whole spectrum of light, not just one aspect.

Yup I agree.. so k is only needed for those who take supplements then.. that's just what I wanted to make sure of as never heard of needing K beside what diet already provides👌

Expand full comment

Yep, but as everything, depends on individuals state of health/disease. Most peeps underestimate their consumption of leafy greens (for VitK), and/or the effects of medication interactions (this includes other supplements and excipients that interact with absorption). So yep, K for those that supplement but then that also affects other dietary micronutrients, like calcium etc.

Basically, as I get the vibe you understand, we are not a car, where adding fuel has x effect. We are more a quantum driven precision rocket ship (for the currently popular mechanistic, reductive science view).

Reality- We are an exquisitely complex organism that lives and fuels off light, water, and earth and their complex interactions.😉

I'm vax induced long covid. When my long covid doc tested my blood, we found I had low vit d. She said in her experience most fellow long covid sufferers had low vit d. Just my two cents.

I hope you feel better soon ♥️x

They used to think that scurvy was caused by some pathogen.

Later on, they found out that citrus helped prevent scurvy. It was found to be a result of a deficiency of vitamin C.

When there's a deficiency of vitamin D, one gets problems like respiratory issues.

Was the respiratory issue caused by a virus or the deficiency of vitamin D?

What if what is detected as a virus is the result of cell damage, not the cause?

Also, when it comes to looking at winter seasonality of respiratory diseases, you got to wonder why it doesn't transmit to the other hemisphere which is in summer or the areas near the equator. Also, the equator has no seasonality at all, but just a straight line.

In a mostly indoor working society, the lack of sun leads to a vitamin D deficient population. When the winter hits, even less sun can put many into a severe deficiency. If people had supplementation with D3 and K2 to get their levels to normal, the winter wouldn't hit them as hard.

Actually, there is seasonality south of the equator also...for influenza...just not near the equator.

Vitamin D is the bomb. Have some Zinc and VitC and your good to go, just a sniffle with covid a couple of years back.

Lockdown kept people inside. Less sunshine. Less vitamin D. Hmm. Science.

If your impressed by what vitamin D does within the body, wait until you look deep at melatonin, the melatonergic pathway and the connection with soil metabolites. 😉👍

Thanks Walter. I have followed a PhD out of Ohio - Pam Popper. Pam insists that the vitamin D theories are all wrong - that we have it backwards. She claims that low serum vitamin D levels are a RESULT of the particular ailment, in this case - covid, and not the other way around, that low serum vitamin D levels CONTRIBUTED to the level of sickness seen. She insists that vitamin D supplementation is and always has been a waste of money, except for rare cases. She correctly states that vitamin D is a hormone, not a vitamin - and that we get all we need from spending time in the sun. What is your opinion on this premise? Thanks for all the great posts and information. Peace. :-)

Expand full comment

She has it perfectly correct. There will be some caveats to her supplementation advice, depending on disease state and levels, but for the majority, regular, sensible outside time without sunscreen over summer, will help maintain levels, except for a small window near the end of winter, but that's when topping via foods will help. Think fatty fishes eaten in cold climates🤗 we evolved with the sun, if people realised just how much we depend on it (it's essentially a food group!), they would be much happier.😉

Expand full comment

I think she is absolutely correct that D is really a proto hormone that is used by every cell in your body. But I don't agree on the fact you can store up enough vitamin D for the winter if you live like she does in Ohio...or you eat fatty fish all winter long, breakfast lunch and dinner.

Do you know who is most deficient? Dark skinned people who live above the 40th parallel..about a third to half the US...and of course light skinned people who don't eat fatty fish or supplement.

Fish is extremely expensive.

Expand full comment

I think that you have to consider that if you live above the 40th parallel, you can stand outside all winter in your tutu (thanks Dr. Cole!) and not get enough of the right kind of sun...and that most people above this line are deficient all winter...hence why influenza is a seasonal disease. So I am a full beleiever in supplementation.

OK. I have a Vitamin D app on my iPhone. It says the same thing you do - that above the 38th parallel, you get no D from the sun in Winter. It tells you exactly how much D you generate based on your time in the sun. Dr. Mercola, who has not taken a vitamin D supplement in over 10 years, recently had his levels tested and he passed 100 for the first time - he spends an hour in the sun each day. Dr. Pam would argue that people store vitamin D in the winter, when it is not available from the sun. Thanks for the info! Peace. :-)

Are you familiar with the work of Clifford E. Carnicom? He states the blood of everyone has biologically living organisms that present as filaments (ribbons) in the blood. Also what are your thoughts on EDTA Chelation? Thank you for your work!

More encouraging news on Vitamin D3, thx.

I started 5000 IU's a day in March of 2020, tested at 53.3 ng/ml.

Yet in Canada, our Federal Health minister mocked an MP for suggesting in the House of Commons, that Health Canada should consider asking Canadian to increase and test for D3 levels.

MP Derek Sloan was mocked with a response, Vitamin D is “fake news” this according to our ever-wise federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu.

When a Federal Health minister is this daft and of such low competence, we are in deep trouble.

Note, Before dosing D3, learn about Calcium, Zinc, Vitamin K2 & Magnesium. I take D3 & K2 combo tablet.

The science says that targeting high vitamin D sufficiency, i.e. >/= 50 ng/ml, in order to bolster our immunity to ALL forms of infectious disease is in no way fake news. I show here that there is an evolutionary basis for this sweet spot value;

Four vaxxed people who are friends all got sick last weekend after having dinner together...bad colds, chest congestion...it could be a cold, but then again, what else is covid but a coronovirus? The most brilliant theory from El Gato Malo, that the vaxxed are now the asymptomatic superspreaders I think still holds true....This is about the third time they have been sick in 6 months.

Me? I've got D levels around 90....so I'm brining some antibiotics to the one who is a good friend.
