Vitamin D, Safe and effective

Well, welcome to today's video, today we're going to talk about a treatment that a large-scale study and many large-scale studies have shown to be

safe

and

effective

in reducing the chances of getting infected with covid-19 and we believe the viruses. From other studies also between 20 and 28 percent and reduce the chances of death in people infected with covid-19 by 33 and there are other studies that show that this treatment is probably

effective

against a wide range of viruses, we are talking about

vitamin

D. an effective,

safe

and effective treatment now, of course, we want to talk about the data, so we will look at this article here.

This comes from scientific reports. It is part of the nature group. This is the full study here. Obviously, you understand. you can download the PDF. I give you the link, of course, so let's go straight to it. Scientific reports from Nature magazine. Very prestigious journal of association between

vitamin

D supplementation, covid-19 infection and mortality. Now the authors here are attending. Well, I work at universities like. like National Bureau of Economic Research at Johns Hopkins University in Michigan, Veterans Affairs at the University of Chicago, all very prestigious things and in the paper they say that this vitamin D deficiency is associated with reduced immune function, basically, that's not It's a point of discussion, they're just stating that and the deficiency.

It can cause viral infections and other viruses. Now that winter is coming we are exposed to all kinds of viruses so I am personally taking 4,000 units of vitamin D a day with some vitamin K and 100 micrograms of vitamin K2 and I intend to do that until I get some sun , so basically all winter long I plan on taking that amount to monitor your levels, if your doctor does it, unfortunately I'm having a hard time getting mine to do it. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of coverage. 19. but what about treatment and prognosis? Well, to be fair when looking at a treatment, this is the issue here in determining whether a treatment is effective.

We need double-blind, randomized control trials, but this tells us a lot about prognosis why no one is doing double-blind, randomized control trials on vitamin D. Could it be because you can't make money on it? because it is not patentable because it can be obtained anywhere. Cynics might think it's so popular. This is the population. from euro veteran veterans and they give them D2 and D3 now you have a lot of questions about the difference between D2 and D3 basically most of the evidence shows that you can metabolize D3 more quickly, but vitamin D2 can also be metabolized, so my D3 supplements but It probably doesn't make much difference when the sun is exposed to UV light it makes D3 D2 tend to come from fungi so I personally take D3 and we'll actually see that D3 is probably a little bit better in a minute but but they're both probably effective, but personally D3 is the one for association and reducing infections now, after applying all the restrictions, the numbers here were um 223,000 people supplemented with vitamin D, a large number, um, that was D3 37,000 34,000 um supplemented with D2 is also fine and 400,000 untreated patients, so you have a nice big study group, so that's the D3 study group, those are the controls, fantastic size, you can compare data of that data with those and get some pretty significant results. retrospective cohort study looking at large cohorts for which data was available, people who received supplements before and during the pandemic versus untreated controls, one-to-one matches with a very good statistician to do this and the treatments that were given to D2 D3 and the activated form of count kiphy dial now basically it takes a couple of weeks for the liver to fully metabolize the vitamin D that we take so you won't get the full benefits unless you take calcifidiol early so this It is a desire for prevention and prevent the increase in the severity of the disease and prevent death, but it is better to take it before getting the infection, since a long-term type of treatment is the best, it is best to take a supplement to long term if you're not sunbathing, which most of us don't use the D3 code, sorry, the Veterans Administration, a corporate data warehouse, is where this came from, so they have a ton of data there and the data They were available and again they say a couple of months. to get a full response a couple of weeks to get a good response, but this is something we need to take longer term over the winter when we're just not producing it in the sun, at least where I live, certainly to produce something and not much. will produce it in the north of England in the immediate future, well, the next six or seven months, actually, D3 cohort covid-19 rates for the treated group 2.66 of those followed and covid-19 rates for the untreated group 3.3 very large numbers, remember we're talking about a couple hundred thousand people here, very good reduction d three twenty percent reduction in infections D2 28 reduction in infections the average D2 is better because, as we'll see in a minute, D3 is better at preventing death and I think we can basically say we're at 20 percent for both, so they're both pretty effective, but D3 is the one we normally take, but the mortality is interesting, infections end in mortality within 30 days, the D3 treated group, the mortality rate was 0.23 without treatment, 0.35, that means Vitamin D is associated with a three-point reduction in mortality, a 33, which is a risk ratio of 67, so yes, 67, you are less likely to get it compared to 100 if you don't get treatment, so there is a 33 reduction in the mortality rate.

My question is why aren't the Prime Minister, the chief scientific officer and the chief medical officer standing side by side on television telling people to take this safe and effective treatment that essentially costs nothing, according to this article by these prestigious medical academics from all over? in the United States because we want it to be safe and effective, let's stick with the probability that this is so, P is equal to 0.9. I want just one chance and a thousand, this arose by chance, this is a very significant result, why is this not taken into account and shouted? everywhere very strange, I mean other treatments and preventive strategies are being advertised well, this one is not up to you to advertise this, um vitamin D two 25 less apparently, but that was not a significant result, so this is the D3 that shows the significant reduction in the probability of dying for people who have the infections now veterans who receive higher doses of vitamin D obtain greater benefits from supplementation veterans who receive lower doses in other words, there is a specific response to the doses, the people with higher doses did better of course, the people who did worse were the ones who got the lower doses and the people who got the most benefit got the lower doses, so in other In other words, some vitamin D is much better than no vitamin D during the winter, we could argue. of this study and, in my opinion, I argue quite convincingly that the lowest vitamin D levels, not down to 19 nanograms per thousand, had the worst results, but showed the largest increase, the largest side of the largest decrease in covid-19 infection and mortality, they had the greatest increase in benefit because they had the greatest decrease in infection and mortality after supplementation, so this is particularly important, it is important for everyone, but it is particularly important for those with the lowest levels of vitamin DM, we'll look at some of those people shortly, who those people are.

Now they looked at different levels in blood, not 19 nanograms of food, 20 to 39 and over 40. If you want that in the English unit, the English unit to be micromoles per liter, just multiply those figures by 2.5 and also We discovered retrospectively that there were people taking 20 units 40 units, as you can see, all different 250 units one thousand units 5,000 units eight thousand units and 50,000 units per day, so you had the whole range of people who were supplementing more or less these 400 000 individuals qualifying for the study this is an impressive piece of work. I am completely convinced that black veterans receive the greatest risk reduction from the uh covid-19 association and I think you know why now dark skin color produces vitamin D more slowly in people with dark skin color, at least In the United States, they have lower levels of vitamin D because they do not produce the sun.

In sunlight, they do not produce vitamin D as quickly as they would need more body surface area. area of ​​skin exposed for longer to produce the same amount, so it is particularly important for black veterans in the United States to consider vitamin D supplementation to reduce the risk of this and from other studies we know that they are the viral infections, so white veterans would produce a little more of the vitamin. D, so blacks benefited more and direct citation as a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment. Vitamin D may help reduce the severity of the carbon-19 pandemic.

Simple statement from the authors and as I keep saying, we know from other studies that this is effective against other respiratory viruses now it is effective against other risk viruses throughout the body. I think there is good evidence that it could be because vitamin D receptors are on all white blood cells, so there is a wide range of white blood cells that protect us. of the disease in different ways vitamin D receptors are found in all those cells it is an immunomodulator so the immune system is inadequate it accumulates it increases the immune response if the immune system is overstimulated and we have the inflammatory side effects that it brings It is an immunomodulator and because of the way it works through white blood cells, I think this will work again for all viral infections.

This should be tested by double-blind randomized control trials, but no one is doing them because there is no money in it and we. I need to make money with randomized or blinded control trials. um, strange but true. I think more vitamin D deficiency affects half the US population again. They're not arguing that the authors are just stating that I mean, just think about that half of the population. of the United States are deficient in vitamin D, half simply state it as a fact the authors increase rates in people with darker skin, unfortunately those who have fared worse, as we often know, in many places the risk factors They reduce sun exposure in people living at high latitudes in winter. or even low latitudes if you live in southern New Zealand or nursing home residents who tragically fared very poorly during the pandemic.

Health care workers working in populations with low vitamin D levels most of the time have also experienced high coverage rates. 19. Again, simply stated as a factual mechanism, vitamin D is necessary to allow tea helper cells to control and reduce or interfere with gamma range. Now this gamma interferon is a cytokine produced by these helper T cells. You may have heard of helper T cells. Because it is the helper T cells that are affected by the human immunodeficiency virus and a deficiency of the helper T cells occurs, they cannot help the immune system, so tragically these patients develop a wide range of infections. , so you need the right thing. amount of this interferon gamma, but if there is a lack of vitamin D, it seems that too much is produced and it is overstimulated because it is a proinflammatory cytokine, so that was interesting, just one mechanism, another mechanism, mechanism of action uh these associated reductions in risk are substantial and warrant more significant exploration and confirmation using rct again who is going to pay for them.

This is particularly important given the high rates of vitamin D deficiency in the US population and Covid-19, and I would add a whole range of other respiratory viral infections against which other studies show the effectiveness of lower levels. of vitamin D, so I mean, it's really hard to argue against this extrapolation of vitamin D if it had been undone nationwide. In 2020, in 2020 there would be four. million less cases, of course, that's a little misleading because well, it's not misleading, it's just that we weren't testing at the beginning of 2020, so we're not so sure, but anyway they say four million cases of spectators, which is accurate according to your data and Look, now 116,000 deaths could have been prevented, this is definitive data, I think because we know for sure that there were 351,999 actual deaths in the year, this couldprevented with this safe and effective treatment, tragically it was not provided. our findings the absence of side effects or the absence of serious side effects a few people cannot take vitamin D but most agree with it um that the widespread availability and low cost of vitamin D D3 presents a unique opportunity again words direct from the author a unique opportunity to reduce the spread and severity of the covid-19 pandemic, so there you have it.

I mean, I think this is definitive and I won't do it, but I'll do it in detail now, but we've looked at quite a few others. studies have shown this works against other respiratory viral infections and of course, when do we produce less vitamin D in winter? When do we get the most viral infections in winter? Personally, I take some K2 with my vitamin D, the form in my vitamin D. The supplement is called mk7, which is a form of vitamin K2 and now the supplement, because I'm taking 100 micrograms a day, we don't actually know what it is. the best dose but the reason I take 100 micrograms per day with my 4000 units. of vitamin D is that if you take natto, which are the fermented soybeans consumed in large quantities in Japan, for example, 100 grams contains one thousand micrograms of vitamin K2, which indicates that one thousand micrograms does not seem to make natto.

Consumers in Japan did not suffer any harm and of course in Japan they did very well during the pandemic and they have remarkably low rates of osteoporosis as well because what vitamin K2 does is vitamin D will release some calcium. If calcium is alone in the blood, it can enter soft tissues such as the arterial system, causing hardening of the skin. the arteries which of course we don't want, so what vitamin K2 does is it takes the released calcium and puts it in the bones where we want it and keeps it out of the soft tissue where we don't want it, it sequesters it. calcium in the bones and removes calcium from the tissues, which of course is a win-win situation when you look at the enormous amount of morbidity that we have with osteoporosis, this in the West and K2 basically, but why not it's used?

Why is K2 not used? It is widely used for this probably because it is not patentable, but it doesn't seem like a big tragedy to me, so vitamin K2 is made from bacterial activity, we don't make it ourselves, animals don't make it, it's bacterial activity, so if a cow eat grass, there is bacterial activity in the intestine of the cow that produces the K2 that will go into the milk and cheese, so it is always best to have grass-fed meat and beef, milk and cheese, if possible, as well as being more humane to allow accounts. To live in a more natural environment, cheese normally contains 50 micrograms per 100 grams, so I personally take 100 micrograms because it seems reasonable based on that, although larger doses from Japanese experience seem to be safe, but that's personal , I can not say it. you what to take but that's what I take 100 micrograms of vitamin K2 with 4000 international units of vitamin D3 is what I personally take safe and effective treatments now at the moment GPs in the UK are incentivized to give covert vaccines if they give them during a home visit they get £30 so if you're on a home visit I suppose you could get one and get an additional standard reimbursement of £30 for what are called primary care networks whose money goes through the GPS, it's 15 pounds per injection and of course, Of course, it doesn't take long to give an injection, so 15 pounds for every couple of minutes works.

Yeah, I wouldn't do it myself. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable doing it, but £15 for a procedure you can. perform 10 times per hour easily. I would have thought yes, I'm prepared for that kind of money. Why don't we encourage GPS to walk around with bottles of vitamin D3? We could give them £30 if they give him a vitamin D3 treatment. to K2 patients to patients at home we could give them £15 if they do it at the GP's office every time they are given a bottle of vitamin D because we know that vitamin D is safe and effective and the new contracts apparently the money for vaccines going down to just 1258, so okay, we could get it down to 1258 per bottle of vitamin D3 distributed, which would seem reasonable to me now.

Lawrence has me sorted. I'm afraid I already have it. He's here because this is Lawrence. I hear John Campbell is in the pocket of a big projector. Lobby put Lawrence on me engaged by a big projector. Lobby and as if you needed any proof, that's what I'm using now to look at. This rumor says that tens of dollars in hidden fees are accepted, but I don't think it goes into the tens, just a few cents. Perhaps someone else has noticed that he always seems to have an endless supply of A4 paper and Mia Cooper fountain pens.

I can't argue with that, so, yes, a great ceiling projector. Lobby, very important for any YouTube videos you watch or any videos you watch or wherever you get your information to make sure they are not in any Lobby's pocket, thanks for watching.
