A recent German study found a linear relationship between vitamin D levels and mortality from covid, and essentially, zero morbidity for those with a D level above 50 ng/mL.
“At a threshold level of 30 ng/mL, mortality decreases considerably. In addition, our analysis shows that the correlation for the combined datasets intersects the axis at approximately 50 ng/mL, which suggests that this vitamin D3 blood level may prevent any excess mortality."
Studies have already shown that one is 14 times more likely to die from COVID with vitamin D deficiency.
A meta-analysis of 23 published studies containing 11,901 participants found that one who is vitamin D-deficient was 3.3 times more likely to get infected with SARS-CoV-2 than one who is not deficient.
The reality is that most people’s levels are below 30 and many are closer to zero, especially among the elderly population.
With studies having shown zero correlation between lockdowns, masks, and vaccines and better COVID outcomes, there are now 142 studies vouching for the near-perfect correlation between higher vitamin D levels and better outcomes in COVID patients.
It is beyond criminal that 20 months into this endeavor there has not been a national campaign percolating down to primary care physicians to test and supplement vitamin D levels accordingly.
As the authors explain, the main cause of death from COVID stems from a “cytokine storm” when the body’s immune system releases too many toxic cytokines as part of the inflammatory response to the virus.
Vitamin D is the key regulator of those cells, and the insufficient amount of D is nearly synonymous with a greater risk for a cytokine storm.
In many ways, a cytokine storm is literally the outcome of vitamin D deficiency.

Do you happen to know your level by chance. Abstaining from all grains will shoot your D3 levels through the roof.
Not sure the mechanics but something in wheat blocks the metabolism of D3. My wife has MS and could get her levels into the 50's on 10,000 IU a day. I went grainless and because I do all of the cooking...she did too. Her D3 levels went to 154 after a month or so of being grainfree. There were 2 studies (PubMed) I sent to the Dr. but cannot locate them now. He had called us at home after her pre-visit labs were drawn to tell us to get to the ER immediately because she was toxic. It's amazing how much Dr.s DON'T know.
The average time spent by med students studying the diet is less than 24 hours. In total.
I was just reading yesterday that Ivermectin can really help MS. I don't remember where I saw that but it might be worthwhile to do some research on that.
