If the pharmaceutical industry, (Dr Michael Holick) had developed a single drug capable of: Reducing cancer mortality by more than 25% Reducing the incidence of metastatic and fatal cancer by 38% Reducing autoimmune disorders by 39% Reducing type 1 diabetes by 88% Preventing advancement of prediabetes to type 2 diabetes by 76% Reducing peripheral vascular disease by 80% Lowering risk of upper respiratory tract infections by 58% Reducing covid infectivity by 54% Reducing COVID 19 infection by up to 74% Reducing covid RDS by 78% Reducing COVID 19 hospitalizations by up to 22% Reducing COVID 19 mortality by up to 45 – 66% Accelerating COVID positive patients to COVID negativity by 66% Reducing risk of preterm birth by 62% Reducing risk of pre-eclampsia by more than 50% Reducing gestational diabetes, 50% Reducing infant dental caries, 75% Reducing multiple sclerosis, 62% Colon cancer, 80% Cardiovascular mortality, 67% Autoimmune disease, 39% the drug would be heralded as a “miracle drug.” With patent protection, this single drug sold worldwide would be the first trillion-dollar drug. The sunshine vitamin D provides all these health benefits especially when an adequate amount is taken to sustain circulating concentrations of 25(OH)D of at least 30 ng/ mL, (75 nm / L) with the maximum benefit obtained with concentrations of 40- 60 ng/mL,(100 – 150 nm / L) At least 30 ng/ mL Best, 40- 60 ng/mL. GDP (Guideline Development Panel, US Endocrine Society) 24% or more (children and adults), United States, have a circulating concentration of 25(OH)D less than 20 ng/mL. Approximately 40% in Europe have a circulating concentration of 25(OH)D less than 20 ng/mL. Recent report from the VITAL trail youtube.com For the last 3 years of the intervention Group receiving 2000 IUs vitamin D3 daily raised their serum concentration of 25(OH)D from 29.8 ng/mL to 41.8 ng/mL after 1 year This group had 39% fewer confirmed autoimmune diseases than the placebo group (who were permitted to take up to 800 IUs daily) NIH, 5 – 8% in US have an autoimmune condition. When should I suspect or test for vitamin D deficiency? youtube.com Do not routinely test for vitamin D deficiency in people who are asymptomatic. |
