For older people or those with poor immune systems (from poor diets like the ones most ppl eat) those people actually do need high quality supplements. Dr Eric Berg is a good place to start. And thanks again for the DIP diet. Intelligent people do not use steroids and antibiotics for a mere virus when there is a vast healing in high quality foods.

Covid 19 1. Risks of COVID are vastly overstated 2. Renowned doctors and epidemiologists criticize the COVID panic 3. SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated, and RT-PCR tests are not appropriate diagnostic tools 4. “Flattening the curve” was unjustified 5. Lockdowns are entirely ineffective 6. Lockdowns are extremely harmful 7. Lockdowns were based on politics, not science 8. Mask-wearing is ineffective and harmful 9. The COVID computer models were extremely inaccurate 10. Media sources distorted and exaggerated information 11. The public substantially overestimate their risks from COVID 12. Nocebo effect: Fear as a cause of COVID symptoms 13. Non-viral causes of “COVID” symptoms 14. Effective treatments exist 15. Lockdowns have been legally challenged (US) Summary • Scientific evidence and statistics clearly demonstrate that masking, social distancing, and lockdowns are completely ineffective at decreasing infection and mortality and have dire adverse effects - severe psychological deterioration (especially in children), high suicide rates, economic collapse and destruction of small businesses, unprecedented expansion of government oppression, censorship, and enforced homogenity of thought. • Lockdowns were initially justified by the claimed need to “flatten the curve” to prevent overloading of ICU ventilator capacity, but ICUs were not overloaded. Ventilators were largely inappropriate and caused extreme levels of unnecessary deaths compared to milder treatments. The justification for the lockdowns has since shifted to “reducing new cases”, with no regard for the actual danger they represent, or harmful effects of these measures. • Unlimited lockdowns and compulsory masking mandates which bypass existing legal structures are historically unprecedented. To avoid cognitive dissonance, the general public assumes that the threat of COVID must be proportional to the extreme nature of these measures. • Implementation of lockdowns was motivated by political posturing and misinformation, not evidence and public health. The word “science” has been taken to mean “government mandate”, and has been used to slander and suppress evidence-based narratives. The general public has neither the means nor the motivation to evaluate the scientific evidence, and must accept the declarations of non-scientist politicians and politicized scientists, whose voices are amplified by media outlets. • Media outlets manipulated and distorted information to support a narrative of fear, dependency, and self-righteousness. As a result, polls show that people enormously overestimate their risk of dying from COVID. • Numerous top experts (medical doctors, professors) have publicly spoken out against the dominant COVID narratives and the government responses to it. Even by conservative estimates, lockdowns caused more deaths than were attributed to COVID. • COVID RT-PCR tests do not actually test against viral isolates, and despite their widespread use are not diagnostic tests, but laboratory tools for amplifying DNA fragments. Many scientists have severely criticized their use. • COVID is, at most, a minor threat to the world population - and at least, a statistical abstraction. Unprecedented and politically influenced rules for recording COVID-positive deaths artificially inflated death rates. More than half of COVID deaths occurred in nursing homes, and nearly all COVID deaths occurred in people with several other major comorbidities. Healthy people are not at risk. The age distribution of COVID deaths is the same as the normal age distribution of deaths; most COVID deaths occurred in people over 65 years old. • Actual causes of respiratory death in “COVID hotspots”, most significantly air pollution, have been extensively recorded in the scientific literature but are completely absent from media narratives and political consideration. • Safe and highly effective treatments, including natural non-pharmaceutical interventions which have been published in scientific journals, have not been widely utilized. • The “pandemic” is a combination of pre-existing conditions relabeled as COVID, recent increases in environmental causes of respiratory disease, excess deaths due to inappropriate treatments, and fear and expectation producing or intensifying the actual symptoms of “COVID”. • Constantly reading, hearing about, and internalizing the dominant disempowering fear-based narrative has been demonstrated to produce the actual expected symptoms of the disease through the nocebo effect. • Dispelling the fear and questioning the narrative actually saves lives, while masking, social distancing, and lockdowns do not, and contribute to the deterioration of physical, psychological, and economic health. • If we are to actually promote health and regeneration in our communities and the world, we must promote narratives that are based in evidence and wisdom, and focus on creative solutions that address all of the interconnected challenges we face today.

May I say this; after intense work in corrections (dark environments, poor diets, high stress) as a RN, I observed 'miraculous recoveries' in those who supplemented with Vitamin D! One patient was hospitalized several times with no diagnosis except Vit D deficiency: he had respiratory symptoms (cough, low O2, malaise). He was able to afford supplements and made a full recovery. However, he would occasionally relapse and neglect his Vit D supplements for long periods; his symptoms would reappear! This was not an isolated incident: I observed these symptoms in many of my correctional patients. Also, those with fair skin and in particular, those with blue, green, or hazel eyes were most likely to have these symptoms. Also, African American patients also experienced the same. Sometimes they would also have unresolved/unexplained deep leg pain that didn't respond to pain relievers or stretching. I literally observed hundreds of patients over a period of 12 years. Let me also add that those with type 2 diabetes almost always had Vitamin/mineral deficiencies: supplements and diet education is a neccessary part of their maintenance and recovery of symptoms.

[@gavinfoster9179]

@@LibertyNotLicense There were so many supplements, I couldn't list them here and my body might have had different needs to another person's. However, in brief, I was diagnosed in December 2018 and better by May 2019. My approach was: a) Nutritional advice from The London Clinic of Nutrition, including anti-inflammatory diet and supplements to rebuild the gut barrier and support the liver. b) Work by an experienced Systematic Kinesiologist with a background in nutrution. c) Relaxation therapy like yoga, golf and meditation. Blood tests identified several inflammatory indicators like high ferritin and high anion gap (covid triggers these too). Other tests identified gut parasites including h-pylori which we used 'Toxaprevent' binders to eliminate (not antibiotics). Kinesiologist identified a virus (probably Epstein Barr) as first priority. High levels of vit. C and other supplements (glutathione, I think?) for this. I then used intermittent fasting (Dr Valter Longo) to clear out old virus, despite significant weight loss due to the disease already. Then we went on to deal with other priorities, ending up with taking Artemesia, a herb traditionally used in the treatment of malaria. (And what do doctors prescribe for lupus?...hydroxycholroquine!) Straight after that, lesions cleared up completely, weight returned, hair grew back, and I gradually returned to a normal diet. Any patient needs a good systematic kinesiologist to test what is required at each step of the way, determination to stick to the diet, support from close family, plus a decent budget for treatment and supplements. Since my experience, I've learnt of recoveries from many other severe chronic conditions. My wife is now qualifying as a systematic kinesiologist herself (hence the support I got), so I'm very fortunate.

I ordered D3 and K2 from Amazon last week, it makes sense.

[@kodowdus]

As a public health nutritionist, I believe it would be helpful to be just a little more nerdy about the nature of "Vitamin D" and its metabolites. Unlike actual vitamins, cholecalciferol ("Vitamin D3") is normally synthesized in our bodies and is *not* characteristically found in a "well-balanced" diet. (Milk is said to be "fortified" rather than "enriched" with cholecalciferol (in those countries where this is actually required by law) because milk is not a significant source of this "vitamin" in its natural state. Furthermore, the "Vitamin D2" (ergocalciferol) derived from plant sources that is widely used to fortify milk "substitutes" is not even chemically identical to the "Vitamin D" produced in our bodies, which is similar to the relationship between phytoestrogens derived from plant sources and estrogen.) Moreover, because the active forms of "Vitamin D" (calcidiol and calcitriol), like the active forms of "estrogen" (estradiol and estriol), function as steroidal hormones, what we are doing by taking "Vitamin D" in pill form is essentially hormone replacement rather than "supplementation".

[@williamdavison5641]

So your saying there is no substitute for Sunshine

[@kodowdus]

Not exactly. I'm just asking that we get away from the notion that cholecalciferol insufficiency is a nutritional matter with a "dietary" solution. (To me, this would be like saying that thyroid insufficiency in areas where iodine is lacking in the soil was a problem of inadequate thyroxine in the diet.)

the real problem of establishing causality is the fact that Vitamin D Deficiency can be a marker for overall bad health, ppl that tend to supplement themselves tend to be health conscientious and most ppl don't supplement themselves with vitamin D. so Studies should give vitamin D or placebo randomly to two big groups of patients with vitamin D deficiency found randomly and wait for them to get a cold or COVID, Evaluate the Specific illnes course and severity and finally control for a ton of variables related to prognosis pre and post disease and that could be of enough potency.

[@clamkinman]

Covid 19 1. Risks of COVID are vastly overstated 2. Renowned doctors and epidemiologists criticize the COVID panic 3. SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated, and RT-PCR tests are not appropriate diagnostic tools 4. “Flattening the curve” was unjustified 5. Lockdowns are entirely ineffective 6. Lockdowns are extremely harmful 7. Lockdowns were based on politics, not science 8. Mask-wearing is ineffective and harmful 9. The COVID computer models were extremely inaccurate 10. Media sources distorted and exaggerated information 11. The public substantially overestimate their risks from COVID 12. Nocebo effect: Fear as a cause of COVID symptoms 13. Non-viral causes of “COVID” symptoms 14. Effective treatments exist 15. Lockdowns have been legally challenged (US) Summary • Scientific evidence and statistics clearly demonstrate that masking, social distancing, and lockdowns are completely ineffective at decreasing infection and mortality and have dire adverse effects - severe psychological deterioration (especially in children), high suicide rates, economic collapse and destruction of small businesses, unprecedented expansion of government oppression, censorship, and enforced homogenity of thought. • Lockdowns were initially justified by the claimed need to “flatten the curve” to prevent overloading of ICU ventilator capacity, but ICUs were not overloaded. Ventilators were largely inappropriate and caused extreme levels of unnecessary deaths compared to milder treatments. The justification for the lockdowns has since shifted to “reducing new cases”, with no regard for the actual danger they represent, or harmful effects of these measures. • Unlimited lockdowns and compulsory masking mandates which bypass existing legal structures are historically unprecedented. To avoid cognitive dissonance, the general public assumes that the threat of COVID must be proportional to the extreme nature of these measures. • Implementation of lockdowns was motivated by political posturing and misinformation, not evidence and public health. The word “science” has been taken to mean “government mandate”, and has been used to slander and suppress evidence-based narratives. The general public has neither the means nor the motivation to evaluate the scientific evidence, and must accept the declarations of non-scientist politicians and politicized scientists, whose voices are amplified by media outlets. • Media outlets manipulated and distorted information to support a narrative of fear, dependency, and self-righteousness. As a result, polls show that people enormously overestimate their risk of dying from COVID. • Numerous top experts (medical doctors, professors) have publicly spoken out against the dominant COVID narratives and the government responses to it. Even by conservative estimates, lockdowns caused more deaths than were attributed to COVID. • COVID RT-PCR tests do not actually test against viral isolates, and despite their widespread use are not diagnostic tests, but laboratory tools for amplifying DNA fragments. Many scientists have severely criticized their use. • COVID is, at most, a minor threat to the world population - and at least, a statistical abstraction. Unprecedented and politically influenced rules for recording COVID-positive deaths artificially inflated death rates. More than half of COVID deaths occurred in nursing homes, and nearly all COVID deaths occurred in people with several other major comorbidities. Healthy people are not at risk. The age distribution of COVID deaths is the same as the normal age distribution of deaths; most COVID deaths occurred in people over 65 years old. • Actual causes of respiratory death in “COVID hotspots”, most significantly air pollution, have been extensively recorded in the scientific literature but are completely absent from media narratives and political consideration. • Safe and highly effective treatments, including natural non-pharmaceutical interventions which have been published in scientific journals, have not been widely utilized. • The “pandemic” is a combination of pre-existing conditions relabeled as COVID, recent increases in environmental causes of respiratory disease, excess deaths due to inappropriate treatments, and fear and expectation producing or intensifying the actual symptoms of “COVID”. • Constantly reading, hearing about, and internalizing the dominant disempowering fear-based narrative has been demonstrated to produce the actual expected symptoms of the disease through the nocebo effect. • Dispelling the fear and questioning the narrative actually saves lives, while masking, social distancing, and lockdowns do not, and contribute to the deterioration of physical, psychological, and economic health. • If we are to actually promote health and regeneration in our communities and the world, we must promote narratives that are based in evidence and wisdom, and focus on creative solutions that address all of the interconnected challenges we face today.

An opinion comment before watching, from a citizen educating themselves on our immune system, both innate, adaptive, microbiome, viome, ect. Plus viewing our body from an engineering perspective, such as Input, Output, Transport or flow of information, Conversion or integration process of new inputs, plus the overall storage or structural framework from which these 4 aspects occur ( Eg virus = new input or new agent. Storage = Physical body or arena ) Vitamin D is an output that results from the input and conversion of UV light. Our system then manufactures anti microbial peptides, namely Cathelicidin's, which are deployed as part of the innate, or immediate response to a new input that poses a risk to fostering a systems disruption or imbalance. These peptides surround the membrane of a virus, for example, breaking down its system and allowing for its transportation out of the body. A balanced system would result in a balanced elimination of that which does not contribute to its own symbiotic functioning.

We must include Omega 3 & D3 supplements daily physical exercise routines.

A new study published in the journal Aging Clinical and Experimental Research found a correlation between low blood levels of vitamin D and susceptibility to infection by and death from COVID-19.
