Could those suffering the recent appearance of excessive Sudden Cardiac Deaths be Vitamin D deficient?
Friday Hope: Vitamin D Revisited: Vitamin D, Calcium Homeostasis and Prevention of Fatal Cardiac Arrhythmias
Given my recent work noting the “calcium tsunamis” caused by the Spike Protein, inducing fatal arrhythmias, I looked for reasons for and ways to counteract this occurrence. Interestingly, I found a compound which is helpful for BOTH calcium homeostasis and prevention of fatal cardiac arrhythmias.
One can find abundant evidence for the efficacy of Vitamin D in treating COVID. However, as with many other compounds, there may be additional, critical mechanisms at work making certain treatments even more important than we may initially realize. Vitamin D may be one of the supreme “wonder drugs” for COVID.
It happens to be the case that VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY IS A MECHANISM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FATAL ARRHYTHMIAS.
The levels of serum vitamin D appear to influence cardiovascular risk, and the mechanism involved is linked to the transient outward current and the ultrarapid delayed rectifier K+ current densities, activated through the nuclear vitamin D receptor and Akt pathway. A significant number of studies have correlated vitamin D deficiency with an increased risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. For this reason, the purpose of this review is to analyze the relation between vitamin D deficiency and the pathogenesis of cardiac arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation, increased QT interval, and QT dispersion were the most common findings associated with vitamin D deficiency.
Even more interesting, and relevant, is that VITAMIN D allows for the reabsorption of CALCIUM which may mitigate the nanotubular-mediated “calcium tsunamis” of the Spike Protein (please see my previous post).
Vitamin D has many functions, playing an important role in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, resorption, mineralization and maturation of bone, as well as tubular reabsorption of calcium and its analogues.
Additionally, Vitamin D modulates calcium release, which may also mitigate the observed, fatal “calcium tsunamis.”
Moreover, a heart-failure (HF) rabbit model by Hanafi et al. showed that the vitamin D metabolite 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D reduces action potential duration and increases left atrium (LA) contractility, possibly via modulation of calcium release.

Given recent papers an findings, Vitamin D deficiency may be playing a part in those suffering from the recent surge in Sudden Cardiac Deaths. I believe further investigation and studies into these mechanisms and their relation to COVID and the Spike Protein should be conducted ASAP.
I rarely comment as you are over my head most times. I admire your work. Today I will comment.
Research on nutrition has been to determine the level at which a nutrient (vitamin, mineral or other) prevents symptoms of deficiency. Never what the optimal amount would be. RDA is really a bare minimum to prevent deficiency symptoms.
I met a woman in 1969 who recovered from pancreatic cancer in 1951. She had move to the Napa Valley the same year and the family purchased about 10 acres of land which they farmed organically and regeneratively. She told me that all health comes from the soil. Besides cover crop, compost from their chicken yard they also added Norwegian kelp to the soil. The Kelp was near pristine. A long time before the pollution of the North Sea with oil explortion. She also was big into fermented foods. They made their own sauerkraut (lots of it) Jerusalem artichokes or sun chokes, pickles and more. She also made acidophilus from their own curds which when I met them had already been kept for decades by the family.
What is all this about? Health comes from Gaia (as in the Gaia theory by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis deceased). Land, water, ocean, air and much more. When soil is well nourished and free of pesticides, herbicides etc. it is alive with bacteria. Soil is a great fermentation environment that benefits plants through making all kinds of nutrients available. So a lacto ova diet harvested from rich vibirant soil, which is worked by you the person provides super nutrition, and the Sun for most of the year with your body makes a most excellent source of vitamin D. On top of that the entire environment that is gardening is cardiovascularly excellent, the mind body and emotions are nourished and health is maintained and enhanced. The garden, stirs deep memories in all of us.
Earth and life have a 4 billion year history, with life making the Earth more hospitable for life. Life also adapting to the demands of Earth and ultimately the two with Sun Moon and stars provide optimal health.
In the last 150 years Industrialization of just about everything has severely upset this balance. The best solution is for us each to do our part to restore that balance and our health. It once was easy. Now we will have to earn our way back.
Have you considered that the VDR vitamin d receptors are actually “captured” by ace2 and this is probably why T Helper 2cells are unable to stop the cytokine storms of T helper 1’s... T helper 2 needs Vitamin D...
Furthermore it’s worth examining ATP switching... if one is low on Vitamin D they are probably low on Magnesium.. therefore The potassium channels cannot swap with sodium to produce energy... knock on is water retention and low energy production ... just a thought.
