Covid-19 & Health Update: Vitamin D Adjunctive Care Helpful in Covid-19

RVAchironeuro • July 8, 2021

Hello again everyone:

Hope your summer is going well and getting more time outdoors will increase your Vitamin D, and this has recently been shown to be a very helpful component of adjunctive care in the treatment of Covid-19.

In the study whose link is provided below, the researchers wanted to know if there was any positive or negative effect on Covid-19 related outcomes by adding supplemental Vitamn D3. We all know that Covid-19 is a worldwide health problem so that anything that could contribute to improved outcomes is welcome news. The researchers had a cohort of 838 people with Covid-19 illness that they enrolled in the trial, and here is their conclusion:

Conclusions:  In patients hospitalized with COVID-19, calcifediol (a type of Vitamin D3) treatment significantly reduced ICU admission and mortality.

Bottom Line:

It is important to note that Vitamin D3 (25 OH Vit D3) is not recognized as a stand-alone treatment for anything other than Vitamin D deficiency. It can be seen that one of the comorbidities that renders people more susceptible to increased severity of infection of any type is a state of Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. The great news is that this comorbidity is easily remediated with inexpensive, over the counter Vitamin D3. The minimal recommended dosage for adults is 4000 i.u. per day for health and wellness. If you become ill, the dosage can be safely increased for several weeks.

Why is this remarkable? Because Vitamin D utilization resulted in significant reduction in illness severity and suffering, lowered expense, safety with benefits such as:

  • Reduced Intensive Care utilization from 21% to 4.5%, which is an 87% reduction that results in huge savings to everyone.
  • Reduced mortality from 15.9% to 4.7%, a 79% reduction in death among severe Covid-19 cases.

My recommendation to everyone is to get your Vitamin D level tested and supplement as needed. Don’t guess, just get the test and help reduce your risks and thus be safer.

Health News Update: Pesticides, Cancer & Why Go Organic 6.29.26 Hello everyone: Slowly but surely, despite the health and food industries downplaying the risks, evidence is emerging that the long-term consumption of trace amounts of toxic chemicals can add up to some serious health consequences. “Our process-based model, encompassing 31 key pesticide active ingredients, together with an innovative stratification of cancer cases by developmental lineage, reveals a robust spatial association between environmental pesticide exposure risk and cancer incidence. In pesticide-associated cancer hotspots, exposomic profiling of liver tissue—a primary target of chemical carcinogens—uncovers a distinct transcriptomic signature of pesticide exposure, implicating a non-genotoxic mode of action that disrupts core regulatory circuitries sustaining cell identity. Collectively, these findings strongly support a mechanistic link between pesticide exposure and cancer, challenging assumptions of human non-carcinogenicity derived from reductionist experimental models. This study redefines the exposome as a lineage-conditioned, mechanistically tractable framework and shows how complex pesticide mixtures can contribute to carcinogenic trajectories, with profound and far-reaching implications for global health policy and socio-ecological equity.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s44360-026-00087-0 pesticide exposure & cancer risks Bottom Line: Whenever possible, purchase your food from organic sources including local farmers that use regenerative and organic practices. Not all foods need to be organic, and to decide which ones absolutely need to be, you can access the Environmental Working Group’s yearly list of the Dirty Dozen foods that are the highest in pesticide residues. This will also include the Clean 15 foods that do not need to be organic as they are usually grown without or with very low pesticide levels. https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php dirty dozen food guide Additionally, high quality nutrients support the natural detox processes our bodies use to get rid of any and all toxins. When we consume the Standard American Diet or Westernized Diet, we are low in the nutrients and co-factors needed to support optimal detox cleansing. So always start with food upgrades as they will carry your upgrade the farthest. Remember that most chronic health conditions start 20 years before you even notice them creeping up or becoming diagnosed. What you do now is creating your future. It used to be said that you are what you eat. Another way to say that is we become what we eat…so please take good care and make sure you always put high grade fuel into your Temple.
