Study: Vitamin D Improves Covid-19 Odds

An Israeli study reports vitamin-D deficient patients suffer worse Covid-19 symptoms and are at a higher risk of hospitalization if infected with the virus.  

The study took place between April 7, 2020 and February 4, 2021 in Israel.  The mean age was 63.3 years.  The peer-reviewed study covered 253 patients.  The study stated:

Of 1176 patients admitted, 253 had records of a 25(OH)D level prior to COVID-19 infection. A lower vitamin D status was more common in patients with the severe or critical disease than in individuals with mild or moderate disease. Patients with vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) were 14 times more likely to have severe or critical disease than patients with 25(OH)D ≥40 ng/mL...

Covid-19 patients over 50 suffered worse vitamin D defiency as well as Covid-19 symptoms than those under 50. The study reported one curious feature.

Some people are open to ALL protocols that may offer benefits, while others only follow what their "group" says to follow. That being said, if you're of the former type, take a look at FLCCC's updated Covid protocols. In it, they've adjusted their Prevention / Early Treatment protocols to reflect the new Israeli reports and others they've noted. It provides a recommendation on how much Vitamin D3 one should take, as well as other supportive substances.

Google FLCCC for info. If their recommendations don't appeal to you, don't follow them. If they do, then fine. That's the way the world used to consider most information until about 24 months ago.......

For almost 2 years, I’ve been taking Vitamins D3 and C plus Zinc, plus vaccine and booster. Haven’t gotten Covid yet.

7:26 - As with SEC football, there's a bandwagon comin' round every couple of weeks. We can jump off this one and jump on that one. We can even get slogans for our bumpers and change them according to the direction the wind blows.

Meanwhile, it's all guesswork this early in the game. That ought to be obvious as routinely and often as the rules, suggestions, purported findings and so called analyses have rolled out. The only definitive answers will be recorded historically. We don't have them now.

But, back to the sports analogy...'We' might have dealt more appropriately with this Covid thing had it not become a political football.

Years ago my Orthopedist put me on Vit D 5000IU Q day prior to doing my joint replacement(s). Been on it since along with 1 Multivitamin twice daily along with Calcium/Magnesium. Haven't had Covid and don't know if it helped with that. I'm sure one of you matchbox MD's know, but I'll be signing off for now. 69 yoa by the way and not vaccinated.

Hm. People with more-robust immune symptoms have less trouble with viral illness than those with less-robust immune systems. Doctors and others with training, education, and experience are not shocked and it isn't new or revolutionary information. You are much less likely to die being shot with a .45ACP if you are shot in the toe rather than between the eyes. You are also less likely to die from being shot between the eyes with a wad of toilet paper lightly puffed from a drinking straw than being shot in the toe with poisoned dart. Context is often everything...if you have the education, training, and experience to understand it. If not...not.

Every man who ever lived to be 100 had, at some time, ingested carrots, cheese and orange juice. Therefore, in order to live to be 100, you must add those three to your diet.

Pleeeease lockdown again!
As a Federal employee, I would love another 6 month taxpayer funded work from home vacation. The last lockdown barely made up for Trump forcing us to work without pay for several months.

We knew this within months of the first Covid wave, yet did you hear the CDC or NIH telling you to supplement with vitamin D? It's criminal the info they withheld from the public. Odd that all of these old members of Congress didn't die from it, uh?

Easy to fool somewon but hard to admit you were fooled, the latest is vitamins & natural immunity last 4 or 5 times longer than experimental vaccine with no injuries and deaths.

You’re gonna die anyway.
Is there a vaccine to prevent humans from dying, period?

Hey, I've got a novel idea. How about just live relatively healthy lifestyle. Eat reasonably well, maintain a healthy weight, get adequate sleep, stay hydrated, take a multivitamin, get some exercise, etc. I had the first covid variant back in mid-2020 and omicron recently, and neither was terrible. If we weren't a nation/state of morbidly obese folks, then this whole covid thing wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Duh. We smart ones have known since the get go that a healthy immune system is a really good thing. And we smart ones also know what the body needs to get there ! It's a damn sad shame that we have lost 3 years of our lives so the greed ravaged government could lump us smart ones with the sickly.

A lot of American “food” is banned as poison in the First World. Which we aren’t any longer if you haven’t noticed.

Can anyone find a study that DOESNT confirm that Vitamin D3 is absolutely essential to a well-functioning immune system? Quite the tell that Dobbs STILL hasnt provided Mississippians with ANY preventative and early treatment protocols. Nothing. Laughable, yet criminal.

Anonymous said...

This is simply a garbage study. It proves nothing. Vitamin D has bee correlated with all sorts of things (cancer, heart disease, bad pregnancy outcomes, etc.) and the proof of the pudding is a prospective trial showing these adverse clinical conditions are actually mitigated or eliminated with adequate vitamin D. And those studies are all zero in effectiveness.

Really? Please remind the group when Trump forced anybody to work without pay? I might suggest the level of your productivity would require that you 'toil' without pay.

Women are routinely instructed by their ObGyn doctors to take at least 2000 IU of vitamin D3 per day to protect bones and heart. I've been taking a D3 supplement for several decades and bumped the dose up to 4000 IU per day in March 2020. Perhaps a major reason why women survive Covid better than men is because we have been taking D3 supplements for a very long time.

I also eat a lot of sardines, tuna and mushrooms, all good sources of vitamin D.

As I think back on med school, I am reminded of being in a college football huddle. So many people I didn't see in either location, and yet, so many people speaking with a knowledge and experience those of us there obviously know they can never possess. "We" - collectively - didn't win shit...well, unless, you were in either of the former groups as opposed to the latter groups. At least a general contractor did participate and facilitate even if he or she didn't drive a single nail. Plus, he or she likely knew the trades. But when some idiot without the slightest medical training or experience says, "(insert nonsensical shit here)," well...here we are.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
