Vitamin D.
Posted on 4/12/25 at 8:49 pm
Posted on 4/12/25 at 8:49 pm
During covid, some middle eastern hospital decided to check vitamin D levels of all patients and compare covid outcomes. They were shocked to find that people with a blood level of around 50 never died.
The study results were subsequently repeated a few times at which point people started to wonder about vitamin D and other diseases. The evidence is pretty clear that the greatest anti cancer treatment available is at Walmart for 10 bucks.. So, you will never hear about it.
But the fact is, most people are deficient. And that stands to reason from a evolutionary biology standpoint given that most people got constant sunlight for most of their lives for 99% of human history. And now most older people are shutins refusing to go out with anything less than 50spf sunscreen because of the skin cancer fear.
This graph shows that most people are deficient.
Efficacy really starts a 50 per liter of blood.
These others graphs show direct correlation between blood levels and cancer... Prostate cancer studies bare similar results.
One last thing...I was on a pretty high dose but I go about 6'3 300lb and I found that my level wasn't high enough. And the reason is body mass index. Most people are fat... and fat people don't absorbed vitamin D too well.
The solution is a different product that bypasses the liver and allows your levels to get higher.
Your doctor will try to scare you about vitamin D toxicity which is as common as Siamese Twins.
But you should look into this yourself as doctors hardly ever check the levels.

Why would my doc scare about Vitamin D?

How many MCG/IU’s do you take? Also are you taking vitamin D, D3 or something else?

Virtually anyone tested today is Vitamin D deficient … it’s pretty much a given.
Good post.

I believe that an adequate vitamin D level prevents one’s immune system from freaking the f*ck out.
In the case of the original highly-virulent Covid variants the immune system would freak out and damage the lungs to the point they could no longer support life.

Probably because of the 600 IU U.S. Daily allowance.

Vitamin D and Zinc are probably the best 1-2 punch for your immune system.

My wife gonna live forever for I feed her the vitamin D daily

Since the early days of covid when the vitamin D info started coming out I've kept my level right around 80. This is good info. Thx for posting.
I'll add that to get the most out of the vitamin D you need to take some magnesium to help with absorption and also some vitamin K. In addition to a multi vitamin I take 5000IU of vitamin D, 500mg of magnesium glycinate and 100mg of vitamin K2 each day. That keeps my vitamin D level around 80.

I have a Vitamin D story and it may be pure coincidence but I’ll believe in it forever.
I got Covid early. A tough case of it. High fever and terrible cough for several days.
On my way back from the doctor after days of this it was a beautiful day. The first sunny warm day in a week or so.
Frustrated by fever chills being inside, I took my shirt off and fell asleep on a patio chair. The sun and warm air felt great to my chest and cough. Long enough I got light sunburn.
ETA. I forgot to add that I started taking vitamin D supplements but there was info out there that sun exposure helped absorption rates and shite.
That evening my fever broke. Full on sweats for two hours and the next day I was 100% well and felt amazing for the first time in a week.
You will never convince me it was a coincidence.
And I still can’t believe the wanted people to shelter and isolate indoors.

500mcg/20,000IU of D3 per day.

I was taking 10,000 a day and saw a report by Dr Campbell about people on high doses testing low.
His expert attributed it to obesity... and recommended a different form ...one tablet weekly...that bypasses the liver and works for fat people.

Thanks brother. This is what I was looking for, curious about, I’ve done some research and seen where doctors recommend very low doses yet this is where ppl should be - 20,000IU when taking as a supplement.
I’ve been taking a generic multivitamin as I get older and feel like it doesn’t do much so was going to switch to individual supplements.

Vitamin C wants a seat at the table. That’s what Suzanne Humphries recommends in high doses when you’re sick or have COVID.

Test for it. If your doc will not, or you can get the test at cvs... it's a pin prick..
In 5 days you get the results online
25(OH)D levels within the 50–100 ng/mL range
Is what you want.
Start taking high doses... Test again. If your still low, try the product above. If high, cut the dose a bit.
The reason I got into this is I just turned 60. In my job, I deal with old people... and I get personal with them. And they almost all get cancer.
It's almost a given if you don't die young.
So clearly, they are doing nothing about prevention and we need to ourselves.

During the beginning of covid the head guy at one of the icu in Houston said on TV that everyone on a vent had low vitamin d. They tried to pull the guys license to practice

I’ve been on this supplement regimen for many years:
D3/K2
High quality fish oil
Zinc
Mg (usually glycinate but i mix it up sometimes)
Curcumin
And I usually go topless outside when it’s warm enough.
I upped my dosage of everything when I got CV (tested bc of my history of low WBC after chemo in 2017). It was just a couple days of a weird low grade flu-like thing for me.
That’s my N=1 unscientific data.

Which seems ironic, considering dietary fat helps the body absorb vitamin D.
The solution? Get a spoon and begin eating a daily dose straight from a tub of lard.

From AI
Individuals with higher body mass index (BMI) often experience challenges in elevating their vitamin D levels due to several physiological factors:?
Sequestration in Adipose Tissue: Vitamin D is fat-soluble, meaning it can be stored in fat tissues. In individuals with higher fat mass, vitamin D may become sequestered in adipose tissue, reducing its availability in the bloodstream. ?
SpringerLink
Volumetric Dilution: Larger body sizes may lead to a dilution effect, where the same amount of vitamin D is distributed across a greater volume, resulting in lower concentrations in the blood. ?
MDPI
Altered Metabolism: Obesity can affect the liver and kidneys' ability to convert vitamin D into its active form, potentially due to fatty liver disease or other metabolic disturbances. ?
Frontiers
Reduced Sun Exposure: Individuals with higher BMI may engage in less outdoor activity, leading to decreased sun exposure and, consequently, reduced natural vitamin D synthesis. ?
These factors contribute to the difficulty in raising vitamin D levels among individuals with higher BMI, even with supplementation.?
