Covid-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status
There is a long history of Vitamin D deficiency being linked to cancer, heart disease, respiratory infection, stroke, diabetes, and death. For a detailed discussion of the subject see the blog post: Vitamin D - The evidence<p><a href="https://www.devaboone.com/post/vitamin-d-part-3-the-evidence?postId=5f4e8bf673d853002ded6cd3" rel="nofollow">https://www.devaboone.com/post/vitamin-d-part-3-the-evidence...</a><p>> <i>"We now have results for over 1500 RCTs on Vitamin D supplementation. Some of the largest and most significant trials are listed and summarized at the end of this article. When tested on its ability to prevent disease, Vitamin D has failed to live up to expectations."</i><p>Thousands of peer reviewed research papers have been published that Vitamin D does truly work for cancer and stroke etc and all the above. But then, as the blog points out,  none of the claims held once bigger and properly designed RCTs were performed. The only disease provably cured by Vitamin D supplementation was ... Vitamin D deficiency.<p>Hence I am quite skeptical here as well. The eagerness to embrace Vitamin D as a silver bullet is no different than that of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine.<p>It is not that simple to cure COVID - people dearly wish it were hence they want to believe.
