Liv: Agreed ! Pasting a post I made (from above): My dad, who was at the top of Purdue's acclaimed Pharmacology Dept, recommended Zinc, along w/ C at the very 1st sign of a cold or sore throat 2 decades ago now. I never got any illnesses, other than very frequent colds & I joked: "I never met a cold virus I didn't like." I would get them intensely. Needless to say--heeding his advice--worked wonders for me. Both the intensity & duration of any cold were MATERIALLY reduced...by days in duration & well over 50% (though anecdotal) in the symptoms I felt. No other changes were made. Now that I eat even healthier, take some Vit D3, etc., I have not had a single full blown cold in 6+ yrs.

Well, he did say 8000 milligrams vitamin C at the beginning of a cold was found to shorten its duration in one large study. Subsequent studies found no benefit.

[@jcoyutube]

Most studies are financed by Big Pharma directly or indirectly. So you will never find large studies that confirm the benefits of Vitamine based treatments, nor about natural treatments, without their equivalent trying to put them in doubt. So any conclusion based on studies from which we don't know precisely who financed them, and what is the resume of the searchers, are mostly bs.

[@ThePandafriend]

@@jcoyutube You can't just change the result of a study however you like it. Well you could, but if you're called out on it your career is pretty much ruined. I don't say that you can't influence the result, because you can, but you can't pick whatever result you want. And of course most studies on the field of medicine are financed by big pharma, that's how they find out which compounds they can use in their products. However there are also a lot of studies which are not funded by big pharma. Not even indirectly. If just one study shows the result and it can't be replicated it's highly unlikely that this result was correct.

[@jimgill5706]

I am 73 years old and weigh 245 lbs. I have taken 10,000 to 15,000 iu of D3 daily for the last 6 years when I am not getting regular summer sun exposure. Doing this has cut my doctor visits by about 95%. I have my blood serum vitamin D level tested yearly and it runs between 76 and 120 ng/ml but is usually around 80 ng/ml. I suggest watching Dr. Robert P. Heaney's youtube interviews and lectures on this subject. He researched vitamin D for more than 40 years at Creighton University and is a recognized award winning expert on this subject. He says that every nucleated cell in our body has vitamin D receptors and he explains why vitamin D is critical to optimum cell function. He says the we should keep our serum D level between 40 and 60 ng/ml and that they heavier you are the more vitamin D you will need to maintain these levels. He once recommended that that taking 75 iu of vitamin D3 for every kilogram of body weight would be about the right supplementation daily dose.

I take Vitamin D3- K2 + Magnesium + Zinc + Garlic Tabs , see Callravak post on garlic. In addition I take a good liquid multiple vitamin and 2 drops of oregano oil on my toothbrush when brushing my teeth a.m. , p.m. , it is a little hot I started off with 1 drop. I was surprised to see on how fresh my mouth felt. Search the benefits of Oregano Oil on the internet. Thankfully, oregano oil is a potent solution that effectively addresses infections of all kinds, including colds and other upper respiratory tract infections as well as stomach ailments.Jan 22, 2019. Oregano essential oil contains a high level of a potent compound called carvacrol. Authors of a 2014 study found that carvacrol is a helpful antimicrobial agent that can fight off many types of germs. This oil could, therefore, help to treat viral or bacterial causes of a cough. Mar 13, 2018. I have not had a cold in years, if I feel a sore throat symptom I take two drops under my tongue twice a day.. This is what I take to try and fight the flu and cold, of course you should always consult your doctor before taking supplements especially if you are on any form of medication or have health issues.

[@brkitdwn]

@@astralque Much of what he is saying is true, however, I agree with you. I don't totally disagree with him, but, I get what he's saying.

[@keithdennett-jones1429]

First of all I have think you will find that the vast majority of conventional doctors have absolutely no training whatsoever in diet and especially nutrition, the fundamental training of doctors is centred on the suppression of a patients symptom's thorough the use of chemical based medicine, none of which ever treats the 'cause' of the given disease ! For example in the case of cancer the 3 main treatments focus on (a), chemotherapy. (b), radiotherapy, and (c), surgery, so to recap, that's POISON, BURN, and CUT. whilst cheerfully and in most cases completely ignoring those individual and collective causes that created the cancer in the first place ! ( the removal of the tumor does not remove the cause). There is also substantial evidence to show that both chemotherapy and radiotherapy are highly carcinogenic which is why so many patients have reoccurring cancers after receiving these poisons. With specific reference to vitamin C and its ability to boost the immune system there are a number of factors that one has to consider, firstly, the type of vitamin C that you are using for example vitamin C itself is actually L-ascorbic acid others such as ascorbyl palmate are not true forms of vitamin C. There are now a form known as liposomal vitamin C which has a much improved absorption rate and therefore an improved beneficial effect on the immune system and the body as a whole. I would suspect that the form of vitamin C referred to in your article is the type found in most supermarkets and not from a source that is proven to have extraordinary beneficial effects. In point of fact both the Chinese have had tremendous results in treating and curing Covid 19 with intravenous Vitamin C, as have many others such as Alan Smith (a New Zealand farmer) given days to live with swine flu and leukemia, who made a complete and rapid recovery only when given this treatment. Similarly Anton Kuria also from new Zealand was given 4 weeks to live with leukemia and again made a total recovery after receiving intravenous vitamin C. These are only two examples of the many cases currently reported. With regards to the Vitamin D that you referred to, I would strongly recommend that you examine the research undertaken by Dr John Carnell who formed the Vitamin D Council and who's research clearly proved the benefit of taking vitamin D for treating both influenza, the common cold.and beond, but not with the dosage that you suggested but with at least 5,000iu which is also recommended for pregnant women. On a common sense note. When do most people fall prey to colds and viruses ? In the autumn and winter, when the sunlight and therefore the Vitamin D is only one third that it was during the spring and Sumner.🌻 Last but not least if Doctors were not so quick to push antacids, and proton pump inhibitor's which in turn suppress the stomach acid which then prevents the stomach from absorbing essential nutrients (and have now been linked to cancer) and will also prevent the patient from benefiting from vitamin C, vitamin D and all the other forms of nutrition . In the last 32 years I have yet to find one single patient with excess stomach acid in fact the majority had low stomach acid ! So would it not be sensible then for doctors to test the stomach acid levels of patients BEFORE prescribing medications that do great harm and and suppress the bodies ability to absorb any nutrients, lower the immune system, and make any virus even more prevalent. !

It bothers me because I am not very worried about me; however my parents who take care of neice who goes to school, are elderly and my mom has COPD. My dad is in his 70s in Florida. Anyway most of my older relatives don't seem to be taking this serious enough. They have the If its my time no sense in avoiding it attitude. However this thing will pass if they can just bunker down for a few months or until this thing passes. One parent is in florida and I can't talk him back to Tennessee where people can look after him if he gets sick. Florida has such a HUGE elderly population I would much rather he come up here where I can help look after him if he gets sick. Its just aggrivating to me that my loved ones that are at most risk are not taking this serious enough. They just blindly believe whatever Trump sais. I have 0 faith in Trump or our government in general to prevent this from Pandemic. I have about 0.05% faith that our gov should or might filter and block traveling from the comunity spread areas and call all reserves to put entire teams on tracking and quarantine the areas that are under 10 people and can be stopped with enough effort. Instead everyone is like yeah this challenge is too difficult. Its much easier to just assume its inevitable and concentrate on mitigation.

[@shawnleatherman8212]

Hmmmmm ... 20-30 ng/ml D3 is pretty low, and in fact is deficiency. The laboratory testing range for normal D3 is usually 32-100 ng/ml and we have multiple research papers in the clinical literature showing that levels above 45 ng/ml are actually preventative to some cancers. The vitamin D council recomemnds D3 level of 40-80ng/ml, and Harvard has also recommended 70ng/ml for cancer prevention. It is extremely rare to see vitamin D toxicity and even kids can safely take 2000IU per day without any bad effects. This stuff is all over the literature.

Glad somebody else caught that! The dosage commonly sold in stores is 2000 iu or 50 mcg.

You are correct. I also see lots of evidence that people with blood vitamin D levels over 40 ng/ml basically have a near 100 percent C-virus survival rate, with people below 30 or 20 ng/ml dying at much higher rates. Also, the studies I seen have been systematically censored and hidden by official communications...smells like shady dealings...

Sit there, pause and ask yourself seriously if you think not stocking up is wise... (the stress and panic part I agree with, but you can stock up nice and calmly and prepare for the worst and hope for the best). Do you take out insurance for the home, the car, life insurance perhaps???

[@janjISMYname]

I ordered a bunch of canned goods from Amazon. As huge and stocked as they are, I fear they too, will run out of supplies by time this thing is (not gone), under control. Everyone is telling EVERYONE to get/be prepared. A food, toilet paper, water shortage could happen easily and fast. In these times, though many hate the government, they will be NEEDED.

It concerns me that although it is known that our own immune systems need all our energy to fight a pathogen (hence ‘sickness behaviour’.), there is no advice to patients with symptoms to go to bed and keep warm. Bed rest, for some reason, seems to have become a recommendation that has been deleted from the medical canon. Yet, post 1918 and pre-antibiotics, the rule was that if you had a high temperature (100F or above), you had to go to bed and stay there until your temperature had been normal for 24 hours. In the absence, then and now, of a medical cure, it was nursing care ...allowing the patient to be completely inactive...which was the best predictor of survival. The fact that viruses do better when people are cold might indicate that when the body’s energy resources are depleted by the need to keep warm, it reduces our ability to fight them successfully. In sum, we are all supposed to stay home and take care of ourselves while ill..so why isn’t WHO, and national health authorities providing advice about home nursing?

It is impossible to know how many colds I have avoided over the years doing this, taking vitamin C with zinc at the first suspected twinge of a sore throat. On those occasions when I did develop a cold, it was always due to waiting until after I had a pronounced sore throat to take the vitamin C and zinc. Now, after watching Dr. Hansen's video, I see the need for daily vitamin D as well.

I'm a 74 YO male who contracted COVID19 on Jan 4th. Symptoms progressed as follows: 1/4 runny nose, 1/5 rattling cough. 1/6 full involvement of my tonsils and lymph glands on the lower neck. On 1/7 the tonsils began to reduce and my lungs began to clear. By 1/9 all acute symptoms were reduced with exception of lung clearing cough for another 3 days. Unlike many of those my age, I never had my tonsils removed as a child. Not to confuse tonsillitis or tonsillectomy effects, the main purpose of the well functioning tonsils is to be an antibody factory. This incident was my first instance of tonsil swelling in more than 60 years and I believe their presence was a significant factor in my rapid recovery. I experienced no fever at any point during the illness. I believe that tonsillectomy during childhood, along with other comorbidity, is a significant factor in the death rate in patients over 65 when compared to patients under 65. Tonsillectomy became less popular with the advent of numerous antibiotics. I believe tonsillectomy history should be monitored when diagnosing COVID19.

I actually was researching into this late last summer while reviewing medical literature about the Spanish Flu and Polio. I have been asking those I know and I'm forums if they have had it if they also had tonsils and/or adenoids removed. One of the earliest issues with CoVID I read online (I think it was from BBC) was how many with a history of sleep apnea had caught CoVID. One of the modern procedures for serious obstructive sleep apnea is the removal of adenoids, with very young or older populations having had this done. Also with that is obesity and sleep apnea as a result. It seems to me that there could be correlation that isn't being talked about. I did shared it with some ICU nurses I met at grocery store.

I too take Vit D prescribed after Dr found me to be low. I'm still low but in normal range (after years of supplements). Dr. bumped me up nonetheless and I haven't been getting sick since I started this. We'll see ... in my 50s but do a lot of reading/research of credible sources.

[@iortizjunior]

Cheekytita it’s takes a few weeks to be use to it. When you first take it you might be even more tired that usual or have confusion spells but that’s bc your body isn’t used to getting a large dosage of Vitamin D at once; but every week afterwards you’ll feel less and less tired and have more natural energy since your body adapts to it.

Sorry, but they don't teach MDs about nutrition in med school for more than about an hour. Unless they're doing their own research (and this guy's constant reference to "health experts" in the FDA, etc. indicates he probably isn't), MDs are NOT any kind of reliable source on nutrition

[@ro4eva]

Contrary to what you seem to believe, there are, in fact, "health experts" in the FDA. My nephew's wife is one of them. They're only human, which is to say, they're not perfect. But they tend to know their "craft" a lot better than superstitious slugs on the internet who seem to believe they know better. The reality is, you'd get utterly destroyed/massacred/annihilated if you were to be pitted against them in a competition of medical faculties. And you know it. So quit beating your chest like you know how to do their job better than them. Because you do not. And your age might afford you some more life experiences (anecdotes), but that doesn't mean you're some guru either. Your ignorance and arrogance might get you (and others) needlessly killed if you don't temper your pride. It has happened to countless other chaps who thought they knew best. They didn't. The end.

What I never understand is doctors prescribe Vitamin A-Z without ever scientifically proving it works in a supplement form, just handsomely serving "may" and "might"in the study. But when it comes to advising patients or not-yet-sick-ones, they would never say much about nutrition. Instead they make a billion dollar industry by serving folic acid and iron to pregnant women -often at doses liver does not need. Why dont they say (refusing to be drawn in that direction) is eat any fruit locally available? Go out , walk a couple of miles, get some sun, eat some fruits and have some decent wholemeal cereals and vegetables -this would apply to 99% diseases but rarely would they suggest or even drop such a subtle hint to an obese morbid person. Doctors tend to look for pathology first and nutrition as the last.

[@sterlingmichaels]

Because Doctors have EXTREMELY LITTLE education on Nutrition and PREVENTATIVE NATURAL homeopathic remedies since the advent of the Oil Industry (Rockefellers who CREATED Big Pharma Industry using the waste by-products of oil and gas processing). HOLISTIC Doctors have saved my life many times when AMA doctor could not diagnose and only precribe antibiotics as an educated guess and they were Absolutely Wrong many times.

Double blind placebo study, one group given vitamin c and the other it didn't. No significant difference in the recovery of either group. What they didn't tell you was they gave the VC group 1 500 mg tablet day one and no more. Should have had them on 6,000 - 10,000 mg per day, then they'd have seen a HUGE difference but would have ruined their study.

I will stick with Vit. C. Last year was the first year that I took Vitamin C on a regular daily basis and last year was the first year that I felt no symptoms of a cold at all. And there have been times in the past several years that if I felt a cold coming on, within the first 1-2 hours that I felt symptoms I would take about 1,500mg and the symptoms would go away after several hours and never come back. Now I will admit that if I waited too long (like half a day), the Vit C did not rid the symptoms and I would get a full blown cold. So Vit. C is prevention, not a cure. My doctor told me that it helps with flu prevention as well. But I rarely ever get the flu so I don't have personal testimony on whether it is true or false. At the advise of her doctor, my mom takes 1K mg of Vit C in the morning, another 1K mid-day, and another in the evening. And for the first time in her 69 years, she hasn't been sick during cold/flue season.
