If y'all haven't connected the dots yet, this is VERY likely one of the reasons why people were (and are being) locked down in their homes and kept from outdoor activities - "they" want(ed) the sheep to avoid vitamin-D-enhancing sunlight so they'd be(come) more susceptible to the coof (and now, variant and shedded/transmitted) illness and injury.
THEY WANT YOU DEAD OR, AT THE VERY LEAST, MAIMED/INJURED.
Note:
". . ., Dr. Fauci himself told Dr. Kari Hjelt in an email obtained through FOIA that he takes 6,000 IUs of vitamin D a day. Given that the medical establishment has told us the daily value is just 800 IUs, I doubt most people take anywhere near 6,000 IUs. Given the lopsidedly positive data behind COVID outcomes with high vitamin D level, why wouldn't Fauci divulge this secret in every public interview?"

This combines with masks. So you are constantly circulating the virus inside the mask as you breath and quickly multiplying the level of infection.
Yup, once the droplet is on your mask it's compromised. Every breath your viral load increases. Every exhale you blow it everywhere. Not to mention regards wear the same one every single day. Literally safer not to wear the thing.
I take 5000 it's a little pill about the size of a tic tac and very cheap. Get some if you don't already.
I love how they say “Groundbreaking”. Meta analysis last year said the same thing. I am glad that it is being brought up again, though. The more that know the better. I noticed last year after the meta analysis was shown, that Vitamin D was unavailable for awhile. So, stock up, just in case.
Be careful where you buy supplements. Walmart brand 'C' is made in Red China. We no longer buy from WM.
I NEVER shop at Walmart. I don’t support sweat shops. Thanks, though.
I have been taking 50 thousand ius. Every day for 2 years im overweight so my absorbtion is shit but so far great blood work no issues also take zinc , vitamin c , quercetin
Holy crap are you serious?? You sure that's right?? That's a LOT...... I believe the RDA is something like 2,000 IU and every supplement I've seen suggests as recommended intake between 2,000 - 5,000....
50,000 is just......holy crap.
May I ask why so high? What's your docs' reasoning?
Yes I'm positive, reasoning is specific to me and my ability to absorb the d3
From a research study, Based on the antiviral and anticoagulant effects of Vit D, as well as its convenience and safety, we hypothesize that a single dose of 300,000 IU of Vit D can be helpful for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 (Figure 1). It is very necessary to add Vit D to the ongoing treatment trials, especially in the case that no specific medications are available for the treatment of COVID-19. I personally took 300,000 units. I did not die. My husband took 300,000 units. He did not even get sick, but had Covid.
Wow.....well ok....TIL.....
Crazy......
Did you feel any other side effects from taking that much Vitamin D?
Nausea; anything?
That's usually 50,000 per week, which works out to 7000 IU's a day. It's probably Ok.
He says
"I have been taking 50 thousand ius. Every day for 2 years"
50,000 IU's per day......Seems extremely high.
Dang. Doc put me on 50,000 a week. But now I’m down to 5000 every other day, with Qpills and such in between those days.
Gonna get me some as we start going into the Winter. I live in the Sun Belt and get tons of sunshine thus I create my own Vitamin D right now.
Just a reminder, from someone who has to take D3(doctor recommended), some peoples bodies don’t absorb d3 from the sun as others do. I work outside for a living, and have to take a d3 supplement. I usually take the 125 mcg (5000iu) every other day.
Does it matter what your skin color is? I'm pale as heck, and live in the South, so I don't think I'd have absorption issues.
yes, it's more difficult for black people to absorb vitamin D naturally from the sun than it is for a fair skinned person or just lighter skinned in general.
I am very pale. I live near the coast. I was low on vitamin d for over 5 years while taking prescribed 50,000 vit d3 once a week. I finally was a normal level.
I take 5000 a day. Dark skinned people have a much harder time absorbing from the sun, so they should definitely take D3 every day.
Yes, testing is necessary to see where you are at and then research gives you the information to get to your desired amount.
It's no wonder Bill Gates has been pushing to black out the sun for years now. The vampires at the top hate the power it gives us regular folks on a daily basis.
"IMPORTANT: Taking too much Vitamin D can cause toxicity which can lead to nausea and vomiting, weakness, frequent urination and even kidney problems if left untreated, Mayo Clinic warns."
This can not be overstated. Vitamin D supplementation must be done with regular blood labs.
But THIS is way overstated and untrue. Mayo=CDC, AMA, Big Pharma...who routinely withold cures from the sheeple.
Not all science is bad. Also it is good to follow a common sense rule: More is not always better in supplements. Sunshine is best. Also supplement companies can be/are just as greedy as big pharma.
RESEARCH.
Zinc is good, but too much depletes copper stores in cells. Copper is important also for immune health.
This is all true but science can be used for good OR evil so people have to do their own research and determine their own answers so they can make well-informed decisions concerning their own health. Unfortunately science has been used to cause many disastrous situations for people. When people and money or power are involved it can be very bad for uninformed people. I actually love medicine and science but I hate the lies and abuses that have been perpetuated in the name of science or medicine. With the information available to people today there really is no excuse for ignorance.
Your statement about sunshine is best for Vitamin D is only valid for those able to absorb it properly. Otherwise it is wise to recognize the problem and supplement. My sister was schizophrenic but megadoses of B3 made her able to live normally. Things are just not always hard and fast. The people that set vitamin limits don't have a clue about vitamins and safe doses because they usually have a vested interest in making money off of drugs. We now see population control and other factors also dictate what info is given. .
I somehow agree with all three of you. :)
I think if my tinfoil hat is on correctly, "they" constantly mention the threat of ODing to scare people away from supplementing with D. Because they are ghouls who want you dead.
So take ~10,000 IU a day of good (non-China) Vitamin D, get out in the sunshine between 10PM and 3PM for ~30 mins a day, get yourself tested to know your level, and try to eat some oily fish and eggs as much as you can.
Info on too much vitamin D was out long before covid. What is questionable is what CDC and others put out regarding ivermectin, or other treatments that don't profit big Pharma.
The blood labs are not to monitor toxicity, but to verify absorption. That is far more likely to be a problem than toxicity. You avoid toxicity primarily by controlling the dose.
Richard Carmona mentioned that it took 50,000 IU a day for two months to generate symptoms of toxicity. Undoubtedly less for children, and they resist COVID much better anyway, so they probably don't need therapeutic doses. I've seen up to 15,000 IU recommended for specific adults during pandemic outbreaks, but 2,000 to 6,000 a day is usually sufficient.
You're talking about dosages...and it's these higher dosages which can reach unsafe/unhealthy levels. 6,000 IU daily can EASILY lead to an unsafe level. I am D3 deficient, and I reached an unsafe level on 5,000 IU daily.
One can not say globally that "50,000 IU a day for two months..." etc., etc. is what's required. That immediately says to me "quack." Everyone has different serum levels, you simply can not make a catch-all statement like that. If someone is D3 deficient, then that type of supplementation might be OK. But if they are NOT deficient, then this would be problematic.
All I'm saying is, do this type of supplementation with blood labs. Optimal range is 50-75...anything more than that is not helpful, and can be harmful over the long term.
Well, Richard Carmona, MD, MPH is the former Surgeon General of the United States, and a professor of public health at the University of Arizona. He's hardly a "quack." He reported various facts, including the results of a research study that found which doses typically led to toxicity.
I conceded that blood labs can be helpful. My sister had access to a good physician, and was unable for a long time to raise her levels on 6000 IU per day. It was the sunshine this summer that finally got her enough Vitamin D to relieve the inflammation that was keeping her intestines from absorbing her dietary Vitamin D! She's most likely taking less than 6000 IU now. And I certainly hope you're taking less than the 5000 IU you found to be toxic.
Let's hope none of us acquire a serious COVID infection this winter.
See, this is the thing. I was only urging those who choose to supplement with D3 to do so with the knowledge of some labs under their belt. I am also being treated for D3 deficiency, as a result of an autoimmune disorder, and know how tricky it is to supplement in the right increment to bring the number into the proper range.
I am deficient, and a daily dose of 5,000 was enough to put me well above the upper limits. I dropped the daily dose to 1,000 IU, and that seems to be right for me.
Everyone is different. Be wary of catch-all advise, and supplement with this quasi-hormone, at least with higher dosages, under a doctor's recommendation.
Do we really know the optimal range or has that been suppressed like cancer cures?
On the vitaminD4all website, most of the doctors recommended either 2000 or 4000 units per day. They also indicated the doses they personally take, and at least one was taking 15,000 IU per day.
Remember that for 50 years the FDA claimed 400 IU was enough, and warned about toxicity above that. So we've made remarkable progress, really in the last 20 years.
Be gone you!
Fuck Mayo.
too much = greater than 15000 iu /day
5000 -10000 is fine
My DR. put me on 5000iu per day, a couple of years ago. Huh, maybe that is why I am doing so well, so far?
Reminder that;
You prob should supplement with Vitamin D.
I find it helps quite a bit with mood in the winter time when days are shorter & it's often rainy / gloomy.
You should take Vit. D along with K2 to maximize absorption.
There are tons of Vit. D supps on the market that have that.
A liquid like this is great; easy to take, easy to tweak / titrate your dose up or down based on how many drops you squeeze into your mouth:

Stay healthy everyone!

"You should take Vit. D along with K2 to maximize absorption."
Both K2 Mk4 and K2 Mk 7.
Really?
I'll have to research those....
Ive been on vitamin D2 this entire time and I’ve never gotten covid. A month or so back I started taking vitamin C and zinc also and no covid.
Most of us knew that when covid started! I saw a brief news teaser today that looks like one of the Pharma companies is coming out with ivermectin pills, claiming it is their miracle covid prevention medicine, I'm sure.
Showing my age here but does anyone remember a book Natural cures they don’t want you to know about by Kevin Trudeau? He was talking about he can’t make a claim about and orange curing scurvy because the FDA says what a cure is and any claim to cure a disease without FDA approval is a crime. They put a gag order on him and he sorta went away. I’m guessing threats and such. Anyway it’s on Amazon somehow. I actually have this book somewhere in my house. May have to dig it out. Side note…..strange last name for sure. Maybe very common in the gulag formally known as Canada. https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Cures-They-Dont-About/dp/0975599593
covid 19 doesnt exist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odj1IwJA8Cs
Or is it patented?
