SUBJ: Reader question on Vitamin D for COVID

A reader asked about the research showing massive vitamin D treatments benefit COVID patients reduces the risk to require a ventilator.  This is a legitimate scientific publication that makes good sense also.  People have 2 immune systems, one immediate based on molecules and the second, taking days, based in white blood cells, especially B and T cells. The immediate system was only discovered about a decade ago, and it is based on molecules that are synthesized from vitamin D. That is why the Daily Value for vitamin D has steadily increased from 400 IU. Currently experts recommend at least 2,000 IU daily in supplement form, and many experts take 5,000 IU daily.  The B and T cell response involves lots of inflammation, which is why lungs fail from swelling.

This inflammation also leads to lots of dead and senescent cells with lots of tangled proteins. So taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D is important, and massive doses makes sense once hospitalized.

Likewise, vitamin C helps kill viruses, and combined with vitamin K, kills them more effectively. So taking vitamin D and Mito-C increases your protective from colds and viral infections.  I urge everyone to look at all of the supplements I take https://www.nutritionconsensus.org/products  It is so much cheaper to stay healthy.
