New Vitamin D paper

Vitamin D: A key player in COVID‐19 immunity and lessons from the pandemic to combat immune‐evasive variants

As of July 2024

775,754,322 confirmed cases of COVID-19

13,578,710,228 vaccine doses had been administered

It is unclear why some patients develop severe symptoms while others do not,

literature suggests a role for vitamin D.

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the infection or in ameliorating the severity of symptoms.

VDD is associated with increased hospitalization of severely ill patients and increased levels of COVID-19-caused mortality.

The mechanism of action of vitamin D and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is well understood.

Vitamin D levels and genetic variations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene significantly impact the severity and out- comes of COVID-19,

especially in the infections caused by Delta and Omicron variants.

Furthermore, VDD causes immune system dysregulation upon infection with SARS-CoV-2,

indicating that vitamin D sufficiency is crucial in fighting against COVID-19 infection.

Potential role as a prophylactic and treatment adjunct.

Immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D

Ability to enhance the efficacy of new antiviral drugs

Large- scale randomized trials are required to reach a definitive conclusion.

Mechanisms of action

Macrophages activated to produce defensive proteins and stimulate naïve T cells

Activate T lymphocytes and mature B lymphocytes into plasma cells

Prevents inflammation, vasoconstriction, and fibrosis of the lungs.

Prevents excess release of cytokines from macrophages

Prevents excessive CRP production in the liver

Vit D can reduce viral replication

Vitamin D can protect against ARDS, the main death-causing complication of COVID-19

Seven out of nine studies reviewed by Yisak

have indicated a crucial role in vitamin D status in COVID-19 infection, prognosis, and mortality.

Vitamin D dose

To decrease the risk of contracting a new infection,

people at high risk of COVID-19 to take 10,000 IU d−1 of vitamin D for a few weeks,

followed by 5000 IU d−1 to raise the concentrations of the active form of vitamin D.

Blood levels

Levels below 12 ng/mL indicate severe deficiency.

Levels between 12 and 20 ng/mL suggest deficiency

Treatment recommended for levels below 30 ng/mL

Optimal levels are 30–60 ng/mL,

Recommended prophylactic dose

0–1 years, 400 IU/day (10 mcg)

over  1 year, 600 IU (15 mcg)

over 8 years, half an adult dose

Adults, 800– 2000 IU of cholecalciferol

Routine toxicity monitoring is unnecessary for doses under 10,000 IU/day

During the height of covid I was still working in local broadcast news as a newscast director. I will never forget that my station aired a "doctor" and "viral disease expert" letting us know that vitamin D would not help with that virus and that we needed to mask up and stay home. I will never trust the medical community again.

So....guess what? Just been warned to review my comment just made as maybe being not appropriate.
This was the opening remark I was asked to reconsider.
'Do you really think the authorities were acting in our best interests?'
Then went on about the vilification of people advising (I won't name them this time) antivirals and vitamin D.
Gotta say, it's getting scary if we can no longer question the motives of authority without censorship.
My post didn't go up, so if this does can I get a thumbs up if it's visible.
Starting to get paranoid😂

Vitamin D deficiency is the real epidemic. We are spending too much of our modern lives inside, sitting down.

I work in an ER as supervisor of housekeeping. During Covid I personally cleaned over 750 rooms, births and stalls. I got Covid very early in the pandemic and only lost a sense of taste and smell for a month. We were all tested for the antibodies and on average the numbers of others on the test scale we did were about 2.5-4.0. My numbers were 17.4. I was taking vitamin D and iron. Governor Hochul of NY put the mandate in place and forced everyone to get vaccinated and I refused the vaccine. Having the antibodies was always the gold standard until Fauci came along. I was fired and on top of it did not qualify for unemployment. I am still bitter for the mandate the damage and hardship it put me through and only hope the people who made these decisions get fired for what they put us all through.

All my life ive been infected wth every cold going round. Ive got ginger hair and really fair skin. My mum always made sure i had sun block on and covered up in the sun because was protecting me savage sun burn. As i got older i would get really paranoid about being soooo white and would cover up in the summer even more. At 45 years old during the pandemic, i stareted to watch Johns channel and started taking high dose vitD and k2. Its completely changed my life. I havent been ill for longer than a couple of days in years. I cant thank you enough John.

You are a good man, John Campbell. Bless.

When I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2019, the first thing my excellent oncologist prescribed for me was Vitamin D and aspirin. Cancer free and healthy now!

Thanks Doc. We need more people telling truth like you. After reading "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" I realized why Doctors really give up on their carrers and its no wonder!

At my last prenatal appt, I asked to have my Vit D levels checked, especially heading into fall/winter. The nurse was confused as to why I would want to check. It is bizarre to me that such basic information is not part of standard care.

[paulfrank]

I greatly appreciate any research you cover on vitamin D.

[docselva]

Very important video to share on vitamin D

Thank you John

[charliesgrl]

I think it is people like you who save thousands of lives. Thank you for your service to the human race. Thank you for standing up for free speech and truth. Thank you so very much for using your gifts for the good of humanity.

Dear Mr. Campbell, I´ve been watching your videos for long now, and just wanted to say : THANK YOU :-)

[arthurkant]

Dr. Campbell, I would nominate you for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, I think you deserve it.
Thank you.

Why is this remarkable man not being officially recognised and honoured for his work?

Thank you for your public service.

After years on steroids with severe eczema linked to my autoimmune disease I did some research into Ankylosing Spondylitis and separately eczema and found that both indicate a low level of Vitamin D. So self diagnosed I tried taking 8, 000 IU of Vitamin D and within days teh eczema started to clear up. I have been taking 8, 000 IU every day since and usually step up to 12, 000 in the winter months when I am not gardening and out and about so much. Both my rheumatologist and my dermatologist remarked that they had heard that Vitamin D was good for auto immune and eczema but sadly neither had thought to mention it to me or anyone else suffering. I have been signed off by both now and feel bettere than I have for years. So tragic that his information is not widespread as I feel it will help so many. Thank you for helping to do that.

Always Always worth listening to Dr Campbell. God bless you Sir.

[jimzarka]

You are a maniac doctor, in all the good ways, I am amazed! You never quit, God knows you are good. We do too!
