Vitamin D may help fight off coronavirus after all, a study suggests. The jury has been out on the 'sunshine vitamin' since early in the pandemic, with conflicting findings muddying the waters. Papers that did find a link were deemed not rigorous enough and not definitive. But a new study—this time in Israel—claims to have the most conclusive evidence yet. Previous research has been criticised for only looking at vitamin D levels when the Covid patient was already in hospital.(Snip)To overcome this limitation, in their latest study, researchers from Bar Ilan University and the Galilee Medical Center looked at patient records up to two years before

Maybe I am just a believer but this lung doctor had thought this question was settled a year and a half ago. My wife, I, and those who'd listened to me, have taken Vit D3 and Zinc every day, and weekly hydroxychloroquine for most all of that time. Only recently have we relaxed our guard hoping (and successfully) to get natural immunity from the bad cold Omicron variant. Yet another example how the elites lied to us about treatments and consigned millions to needless hospital stays and deaths. Fauci should hang publicly for that crime after every penny of his ill-gotten gains be forfeited.

I drink more milk every day than a new born cow yet have a compromised immune system and barely follow the minimums required here for masking, etc, and of course didn't take mRNA shots.
Tested virus free last year and again last week.
Does a body good.

RE #2:
I guess those of us who are highly lactose intolerant (my Dr. calls mine a "non-allergy allergy) are basically screwed to the wall!! Enjoy your milk!!
BTW, I have been taking a daily D3 for years. I also take Quercetin with zinc and 1000mg of C daily. Also does a body good!! ;)

Purely anecdotal, but I take 3000 mg of D daily along with 1000 of C. I've never caught the Wuhan Virus. Draw your own conclusion.

Add Quercetin to your diet, too. It's available everywhere.

I've been taking Vitamin D for about 5 years. Early in the Wuhan flu madness, I read that people with a vit-D deficiency were vulnerable to the virus. I upped my dosage, added zinc, quercetin and vit-C. So far, so good. I'll only add that I'm also fanatical about cleaning my hands. I've gone though gallons of hand sanitizer when going to stores and restaurants.

Of course it does. Why do you think 'flu season' ends every year in the spring as people get outside more, get sunshine, fresh air, and don't forget, UV radiation. Nature's Vit D has worked since the dawn of mankind.
Knock on wood. Unlike others, I probably used hand sanitizer 5 times in the first week of this madness, grab 'dirty' shopping carts in the parking lot, don't keep my hands away from my face, and other than an infrequent multi vitamin, haven't done anything special other than take a sun bath when the weather lets me.

I take 5000mcg of D3, 1000mcg of C, KM-7(it’s recommended to take this for of vitamin K for high doses of D), zinc and elderberry. I’ve done this since 2015 and have never been sick. Along with working out and cutting back on certain foods plus drinking more water my energy level is also great. Boosting your immune system in this day and age is a must especially for us older folks. I haven’t listening to Fauci and the other idiots and choose to do things my way when it comes to COVID.

OP: “…free and independent American media”
They surely are free as their constant lies oh so well demonstrate.
But they are oh so far from being ‘independent’ — they are an integral part of the dimokrat-media complex.

Three months away from 88, thus considered high risk although am not obese and have no high risk diseases. I do Yoga three to six times a week, take the aforementioned vitamins, D3 for 25 years, now increased to 10,000 units; plus the others mentioned (quercetin, C, zinc) plus a few others. No complaints except by vaxed individuals who have shunned me for not being vaxed.

#2, have you seen the Benadryl and Milk Covid cure? Milk contains a compound called Lactoferrin which kills the virus, and the benadryl stops the cytokine storm. There are a number of news stories if you Duck Duck Go it.

This has just been one big scam - big pharms made their money, now the ones making the home tests for covid are raking in their money along with the companies that make the NR95 masks (if that's what they're called). biden and fauci know how to spread the wealth around to their buddies. The problem is that this scam has killed 1,000s and maimed 1,000s. It's also caused a generation of kids who are afraid of getting sick, think they have to mask up whenever. It has taught them not to think and question but to follow, which is one of the worst consequences. The disadvantaged have fallen further behind. It's just been one huge disaster on Americans and the world. Yet people are still losing their jobs because they won't get the shot when science proves the shot doesn't work.

Couple of points: there isn’t enough vitamin D in milk to overcome vitamin d deficiency. It has about 400 IU per cup. FLCCC recommends 5000 IU per day, so that’s almost 12 cups of milk, which has a lot of sugar/calories—not recommended. You almost certainly need a supplement. Second point: zinc competes with copper so you can’t take zinc everyday without (over time) causing copper deficiency. Copper deficiency can cause permanent myleoneuropatjy. This is what those denture cream lawsuits were about. Polident and similar products used to be almost pure zinc oxide, and it crippled a lot of people before the formula was changed. Google “zinc induced copper deficiency neuropathy.”

I have been taking extra vitamin D for a while... since I read that the NFL did a study and found that vitamin D intake correlated with fewer injuries among players. Basically, the trainers make sure their athletes get 2000 IU of D daily.
Be aware that D goes into your fat. If you weigh too much (co-morbidity here) you need to take mroe.

We have been duped from the get go. It's part of the big reset to take over our country and eliminate as many seniors as possible on Medicare and social security. The good news is we had to go through this to discover who the evil doers are. We are currently in the stage of rectification. So stay optimistic and continue to pray.
#2 Btw, I was lactose intolerant for years and all of a sudden I've discovered I'm not anymore. What a revelation! Though I'm still careful not to overdo.

Last year at the height of covid I changed doctors getting prescriptions filled for BP became difficult with my first doctor. In the process I was put on prescription vitamin D when my blood was tested. I had two separate surgeries last year and had to be tested for covid prior to them both were negative. We refuse to be vaxxed or hardly wear mask (hospitals and doctor's offices require it) but before I go to the grocery store, I swab the inside of my nose with a mixture of 10% iodine and water (35 to1). It supposed to kill the virus if inhaled also use Listerine mouthwash during the day especially after going out. You can't be too cautious.

Oh, darn! Two-Tongue Tony was just about to say the same thing - - and they took the words right out of his mouth.
Two-Tongue Tony is - - by far - - the world's greatest expert on viral diseases. If you don't believe it - - just ask him. And he made this astounding discovery - - all by himself. He'll be appearing on all the leftist talk shows - - to tell us all about it.

We don't have a cold and flu season, we have a lack of Vitamin D3 season!
I live in Wisconsin. From mid November to mid April we receive no D3 from sunshine. The sun is just too low on the horizon.
Nice to see the obvious being exposed.
We need a vaccine to reduce exposure to television, NIH and Fauci season!
Stay well, Ldotters. Easter is coming.

I remember when early in the china virus pandemic ...President Trump was talking about these benefits...along with hydroxychloroquine...and the fake media laughed at his possible advantages in attacking the virus...BUT...then the big Pharma dudes wouldn't have made all that money on useless vaccines and inferior china produced face masks..it's becoming clearer every day how china unleashed this virus on the world and then profited on the so/called cures...WE've been had folks...

This household has been taking Vitamins D, C and zinc for over a year now and we have avoided getting covid, or even bad colds. So until things calm down, we are going to stick to our regime until further notice.

My nationally recognized Neurologist, 5 years ago, prescribed that I take 50,000 IU's per week of Vitamin D3, and he specified it MUST be D3 to gain maximum effect. As he said, "Taking any other D Vitamin is like trying to fill an SUV through a straw." He also said that Vitamin D deficiency occurs in almost 98% of the U.S. population. He then said the reasons for that are numerous and a great discussion over a beer. It's really interesting how we got to this point.
Not sure if it prevents Covid, but none so far with me, or Mrs. R-hog, who also takes it.

And by the way, Vitamin D3 in 50,000 IU quantity is available over the counter at most "Compounding" Pharmacies these days. It's where we get ours.

Some good soul informed us at the start of the China attack to take Vitamin D3 daily. Also Zinc+Quercetin and Vit C (Airborne). The malevolent NIH never mentioned Vitamin D. Never even got a cold since.

Yep. My wife and I were taking 3,000 units of Vitamin D3 and 1,000 of Vitamin C for many years before this ChiCom virus. In March of 2020, we increased that to 5,000 units of Vitamin D3 and 2,000 of Vitamin C every day, plus zinc. Have always been using E, a multivitamin for trace minerals, and more.
So far, no COVID in my home. Two friends who take about the same haven't had it in their homes....except their two adult children, one vaccinated, one not, who are adults living in other cities did get it. The mother works in a hospital with Wuhan virus patients every day.
We all use povodine-iodine nasal spray after mingling with strangers as per Dr. McCullough.
Two years in, doing fine, but ready and equipped to do FLCCC early treatment protocols, too.

Excellent point #29, I do the same. I mow several days a week on our rural property for a few hours a day. I wear a big sun hat but short sleeves and sometimes short pants. I WANT the sun for more Vitamin D naturally.

Of course it does. Vitamin C as well. I've been taking Zinc, vitamin D, and Vitamin C for almost two years. For the first year of this virus, I was around Covid patients in the hospital on daily basis, and I was fine. I had to get the shot because I worked in a hospital, but taking the vitamins helps even if you don't get the Covid shot.

Fwiw, Lady Chihuahua and I take 2000 IU of D3 daily plus a multi- vitamin.
Multi Vitamin has another 1000 IU of D3 (125% daily recommended), 60mg vitamin C (only 67%), 11mg Zinc (100%),
Both of us take a probiotic. I also take 32mg Aspirin daily since I had A-fib.
Neither of us have had COVID that we can tell. A number of family members related to the Lady Chihuahua have tested positive for COVID recently. All minor. Sniffles and sore throats. Is this what people are afraid about? Our 'leaders' have created a climate of fear, anger, and hatred. Quite deliberate. Fear, anger, and hatred short circuit the brain. People need to use and brains and keep their wits to survive. Our leaders don't want that.

I was once told by a wise old neighbor that seniors should get 10 -15 minutes of sunshine a day. If you wear a visor or a hat with a brim and an open top, you will get the benefit of Vitamin D on the top of your head where it is most needed. But also take it in capsule form as well.

Wow, y'all are taking a lot of pills.
To the person who said I can't get enough vitamin D from a few glasses every day then the entire world has been suffering a vitamin d deficiency for all of human history. That seems unlikely.
For those who are lactose intolerant, there are lactose free milks available.
Mayo Clinic says this, "Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity. This level is many times higher than the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for most adults of 600 IU of vitamin D a day".
That's 600 not 6000.

Cute thread, all y’all, glad to hear y’all have stayed well!
For the people drinking milk [from a former farmer who shipped 1K gal of milk every other day to the local co-op] save your $$ unless it’s fresh milk… pasteurization etc kills the bad and good of milk. Avoid dairy and you will be more healthy… well, ok, make your own or get butter locally!
And yes, Vit D is The Sunshine Vitamin, and remember 40:
40 minutes daily with No Chemical Sunscreen or 40K IU of D.
Daily exercise is also key! Get a dear pup [Yorkie] and walk her 1-2 miles each day as you thank the Good Lord for our many blessings, pray for each other, as we watch the perfect V-formation of geese above your beach or lake flying South, and enjoy the morning breezes!

Many of us knew all along that easily available and inexpensive supplements were effective preventatives. Here it emerges that vitamin D is likely even more effective than the vaccines they're pushing, at a fraction of the cost and with essentially zero side effects. How many lives might have been saved had such information not been widely suppressed and derided by the free and independent American media?
