CDC/WHO weren’t going to mention this either, they just want to encourage “the jab”!

This Dr. knows what he is talking about. It’s all true and easy to comply with. Thanks 🙏

I been taking vitamin D3 and knew about the sunny pill and it’s benefits early on in the pandemic by simply researching 🤷🏾‍♀️
staying up late at night reading medical journals I will never let my health or my family’s health be
solely left to the hands of others

[ItsAllAboutBrandon]

we knew vitamin D helped months ago....but people were told they couldn't go to the beach. does that make sense?

[danrathers]

A healthy diet is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST Medicine!

Rogan has been pounding this drum for months.

My friend takes 2, 000 I do D3 while her husband did not take any. He got covid. She was in the same house with him and NEVER got it.

[kamase]

I agree 100%. I had a couple of health issues until I found out my vitamin D was very low. I feel much better now.

Thanks for being transparent, Canadian news is telling people to not take vitamin d at all. Yet statistics say most Americans are deficient. In Canada I can only imagine how much worse deficiency is here. There is no sun here 8 months out of the year. I'm taking 10 000 IUs of vitamin D3 a day, zinc and magnesium.

This is old news. I heard about vit D helping with covid back in March

[chankeanleong]

An epidemiologist had said that the present pendemic is due to deficiency of vitamin D in the population exposed by COVID-19. How right he was.

[samsammy]

The Doctor is right on the money. I was told that I was low in vitamin d. My Doctor also mentioned the same in lack of vitamin d. Now I take daily a vitamin d supplement.

A little late to the party, I'll say.
This information was out there to those of us who paid attention a half-year ago, as far as covid goes, and a lot longer to the nutritionally aware for other issues.
And don't forget about zinc, either! Very important in the covid prevention/lessening of symptoms fight. Take some C and Omega-3 while you're at it.
The pharmaceutical powers sure don't want you to know this: no profit in it for them.

Iv got Covid symptoms and just prayed and saw this video, I’m going to up my vitamin D intake.

[cipriandobrea]

I've been taking 50, 000 IU per week for 4-5 months. I have COVID right now and haven't coughed once. No temperature either. Just back pain and headaches for the first 2-3 days. I also take 50 mg of Zinc daily and 2, 000 mg of vitamin C and a generic Centrum. My vitamin D level was only 19. Haven't been checked since but I know it's much higher now. My goal is to get it between 50-60. Prepare your immune system BEFORE you get sick.

[DustinMikkelsen]

I enjoyed this interview, it was very informative and to the point.

[Raj-ulmy]

It does it’s an immune system modulator. It’s a hormone, and controls your immune system, if your deficient then you can develop that bad over inflammatory immune response

[mrs.rogersneighborhood]

I have Vitamin D deficiency, so I am prescribed supplements. Now, my vitamin D is at great levels. Everyone in my house except me got COVID-19.

Remember when Youtube was taking down video's exactly like this from other doctors and virus specialist who were
saying the same thing way back when this first started? I wonder if this gets taken down in a day or so...

[sean]

YouTube was banning channels for saying this a few months ago.
