Hi,

Please add this video by Dr. Cicero Galli Coimbra, Professor and Brazilian Researcher at Unifesp, who for decades has been studying and alerting the world about the correction of vitamin D levels in the entire population. Dr. Cicero also created a Protocol, called the Coimbra Protocol, where high doses of vitamin D are used to treat all autoimmune diseases. He has trained more than 100 doctors worldwide who apply this protocol.

There are three towns in Brazin that supplement their whole populations with 250ug

Towns of Figueiaro and Cristal and Novo Mato all typed from memory sorry there are interviews on Youtube and a Facebook page for the town of Figueirao Links found down my FB waal somewhere a month back.

Sorry, user name not my full name, only noticed now, had to rush out for the day.

"To achieve serum 25(OH)D levels >100 nmol/L (>40ng/ml) on average, required vitamin D intakes of 150ug/d (6,000 IU/d) ..."

"Vitamin D deficiency co-exists in patients with COVID-19. At this time, dark skin color, increased age, the presence of pre-existing illnesses and vitamin D deficiency are features of severe COVID disease. Of these, only vitamin D deficiency is modifiable.
....
Thus, the evidence seems strong enough that people and physicians can use or recommend vitamin D supplements to prevent
or treat COVID-19 in light of their safety and wide therapeutic window."

Vitamin D Metabolism Revised: Fall of Dogmas

"Results of a community field trial reported herein indicated that 25(OH)D concentrations above 50 ng/ml (125 nmol/l) vs. <20 ng/ml were associated with a 27% reduction in influenza-like illnesses. From the available evidence, we hypothesize that raising serum 25(OH)D concentrations through vitamin D supplementation could reduce the incidence, severity, and risk of death from influenza, pneumonia, and the current COVID-19 epidemic"

Professor Zach Murphy (via Ninja Nerd)
(A thorough walk-through via whiteboard where the teacher talks about the studies done; but what is good about this one is how he describes complex cell-level biology topics in understandable terms.)

Dr. John Campbell:

Replace PCA with PCR

In text it says "A re-analysis of 107 Swiss blood samples found that PCA positive patients had 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations half that of PCA negatives. This finding held after stratifying for age and gender."

Shouldn't this be PCR (polymerase chain reaction) instead of PCA?
