Vitamin D

[Zam-Zam]

What you can do to help yourself:

As we race to develop effective treatments and a vaccine against COVID-19, people are looking to reduce their risk of getting sick. One thing that might help is as obvious as the sun in the sky and as close as your medicine cabinet – Vitamin D.

Higher COVID-19 mortality rates among older people and those with chronic conditions suggest that a weakened immune system contributes to poor outcomes. There are many crackpot claims about miracle cures floating around, but the science supports the possibility – although not the proof – that Vitamin D may strengthen the immune system, particularly of people whose Vitamin D levels are low.


Vitamin D supplementation reduces the risk of respiratory infection, regulates cytokine production and can limit the risk of other viruses such as influenza. A respiratory infection can result in cytokine storms – a vicious cycle in which our inflammatory cells damage organs throughout the body – which increase mortality for those with COVID-19. Adequate Vitamin D may potentially provide some modest protection for vulnerable populations.

The food we eat influences our bodies’ immune responses to infection. So focusing on nutrition is one thing we can do to help protect ourselves in the face of the coronavirus threat.

Resorting to the pill due to sun not wanting to shine often...………...rain is main staple recently...…..one day of 80* three days of 50's*

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out highly medicated couch potatoes are going to have a severe immune deficiency. Best bet is to load up on vitamin C/D, sunlight, Zink and eat healthy foods.

Another factor may be that with so many people self-quarantining, sheltering-in-place, etc., they are getting less sunlight (vitamin D) than they normally would.

Vitamins (in pill form) are not, of course, a substitute for a healthy diet and lifestyle, they are meant as supplements. You still need to eat right and exercise if possible.....Junk food and binge-watching isn't going to get it done.

Just heard a fake scientist or journalist, can't remember which, declare sunlight and warm weather was "false hope" because it takes 121degrees F to kill the virus. What the Corona fear-mongering expert failed to mention was that 80 degrees will shorten the coronavirus life span from 3.5 days to 3.5 hours.

Sadly, some people seem anxious to quash any potentially good news on this topic.
