Vitamin D2 & D3: Did 2017 meta-analysis show persons taking 800 IUs of vitamin D or more had a lower risk of influenza and other respiratory viruses than those who did not? Yes, it did!

Vitamin D protected against acute respiratory tract infection; independent associations between low serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D susceptibility to acute respiratory tract infections
Amazing how covid was not about natural immunity through adequate restful sleep, exercise, healthy foods and vitamins and supplements. It was about fear, lockdowns, masking, a seditary lifestyle and less healthy eating. Let us not forget these crazy jabs. The whole thing continues to be mind boggling. I am tired of the propaganda and profiteering that continues to this day.
I was in Laboratory Medicine until retirement in 2016. Even then it was known Vit D was beneficial in fighting any viral infection. The mainstream medical did not want people to know this. The studies under dosed the D so designed to fail in many cases.
Vitamin D is helpful in a myriad of ways. Take it, and take 5000 to 10000 IU daily! Also cod liver oil capsules have D and other beneficial components, so add that in with your daily supplement schedule. As Dr Cole says, “you are your own best Doctor”
Big Pharma doesn’t make money by endorsing the concept that boosting Americans blood value of D from 25 ng’s to 50 ng’s would make them less susceptible to disease states and beat Covid hands down! Pfizer’s expensive Paxlovid would crash! Ivermectin does the same as Paxlovid and is cheap so they tell you it is horse worm medicine!
I’m taking 7,500 IU a day along with K, Zinc and other supplements. Rarely have a cold, don’t remember last time I had the flu. Had Covid May 2022 which was like a mild sinus infection. Cleared on day 3.
God Bless you Dr. Alexander! I am so thankful that you have stood up for the cause of right. Your Substack is the best, so informative and gives us the current knowledge that we all need to know. And yes of course taking Vitamin D3 is certainly is a game changer. We have been on the protocol since March 2020...and it is still important in this family...
It is also important for PCOS. Quercitin too as you know is so important, have used it since the 1990’s for my son with respiratory issues, and also for my husband who suffers from the negative effects of Agent Orange. Science/Medicine is ever changing and the best part is sharing our knowledge to help each other🙏🏻
For sure , vitamin D is the game changer for a good immune system amongst a host of other benefits . Thank you Dr Alexander for your tireless efforts to help humanity during these dark times .
As much as suicide is talked about , I hear no mention of this recently published study done in veterans that showed close to 50 % reduction in suicide risk in suicide and self harm . For black veterans the risk was reduced by a whopping 65% if their baseline level was < 19 !!!
The science is only talked about when it lines someone’s pocket or confirms to a narrative . What happened to equal care for all that’s free from bias ... to me this seems full of bias when there is no messaging going on to inform black veterans of the immense benefits of vitamin D given in the correct doses not pediatric doses like 400 to 800 IU daily. The lab ranges need to change to make the new normal 50 instead of 30.
The frequency of the rather deficient 800 IU dose was not noted.
I have been taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 50,000 IU of vitamin A daily for years, resulting in a 25(OH)D blood level averaging around 50ng/ml in three annual assays.
I’ve always taken at least 5,000IUs of D/day. Dr. Gundry also has his cancer patients on 10,000. Now that SO MANY people are getting cancer, most should think about taking 10,000.
I've been taking 16000 iu Vit D per day (with vit K) since September 2021 (after a covid infection), and have not had a single illness of any kind. That's despite being around a bunch of constantly ill vaccine recipients in the office. I think they are a bit pissed off.
Edited to add - always take with fat - butter or coconut oil, chew and swallow. It is oil soluble and more bioavailable.
I dug this up - I went into my archives - I remembered this...thought you might find it interesting? I don't really know - I just consider everything...and pay attention to anyone trying to share health vital info.

I take 5,000 to 10,000 iu of D3 with Mk7.
I've been taking 16000 iu Vit D per day (with vit K) since September 2021 (after a covid infection), and have not had a single illness of any kind. That's despite being around a bunch of constantly ill vaccine recipients in the office. I think they are a bit pissed off.

Go for the gusto and take at least 5,000 IUs of D3. I've upped my intake to 8k.
I take D3/5000 per day never get sick...
