I want you to know that Alzheimer's disease-alleviating, neuroprotective effects of vitamin D have been replicated in recent clinical trials. (1/7) #AD #Alzheimers #VitaminD
In a 12-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, these researchers showed that compared to the AD group w/placebo the AD group w/vitamin D supplement (800 IU/day) had a significant reduction in plasma Aβ42 and related biomarkers. (2/7) #RCT #science #research
Plasma Aβ42 is a biomarker that is often used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease and track progression. It's a protein that accumulates in the brain and leads to the formation of amyloid plaques that can damage brain cells and disrupt cognitive function. (3/7)

It is known [apparemment pas par tous] that the numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes decrease in vitamin D deficiency while vitamin D supplementation increases CD + 4 lymphocytes.

Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for dynapenia (poor muscle strength)
1. Dynapenia is an important risk factor for disability and death later in life. A 4-year follow up study looked at association between #VitaminD deficiency and #dynapenia in 3205 people aged 50 or more.

2. Vitamin D deficiency (< 30 nmol/L or <12 ng/mL) increased the risk of the incidence of dynapenia by 70% after 4 years. The risk was even higher in people aged 70-79 (4-times higher) and those aged 80 or more (8 times higher)

Vitamin D is effective in decreasing risk for diabetes in adults with prediabetes
1. In a meta-analysis, the risk of #diabetes reduced by 15% in adults with prediabetes, who were given #vitaminD: 20,000 IU (500 mcg) weekly; OR 4,000 IU (100 mcg) daily, as compared to placebo.

2/ Most Vitamin D studies are flawed because:
▪️The lack of expertise in nutrition, especially clinical or functional nutrition, among MDs & researchers.
▪️Many studies thus manifest a false image of Vit D. They conclude that it is ineffective even though the opposite is true.

Vitamin D Vergiftung (1/5): In diesem Jahr gab es in den Giftinformationszentren mehr Anfragen wegen einer (versehentlichen) Überdosierung von Vitamin D. Offenbar waren in diesem Jahr also mehr hochdosierte Vitamin D Präparate im Umlauf. #corona #vitaminD
(2/5): Vermutlich liegt dies an Corona. Es existiert der Irrglaube, dass Vitamin D ein Allheilmittel gegen Corona ist und großflächig vor einer Corona Infektion schützt. Alleine im Giftinformationszentrum Erfurt sind die Anfragen wegen einer Überdosierung um ca. 30 % gestiegen.
(3/5): Eine einmalige erhöhte Einnahme ist in aller Regel unproblematisch. Anders ist es bei langfristiger zu hoher Vitamin D Einnahme. Dadurch kann es zu einem erhöhten Kalziumspiegel im Blut kommen. Dies kann akut zu Übelkeit, Appetitlosigkeit, Bauchkrämpfen, Erbrechen führen.

This doctor literally laughed at me for asking about potential benefits Vitamin D.
He filed a complaint with my employer and Ofcom, who found in my favour.
We must ask, why did they want to silence us from asking questions?

Maxwell Biosciences is developing the “One Drug for Many Bugs” CLAROMER™ biotechnology - preclinically active against all tested variants of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza. A NIAID-funded Syrian Hamster study showed full protection against the symptoms of #COVID & possibly #LongCOVID.
How It Works
CLAROMER drug candidates literally explode the membrane that surrounds all enveloped viruses (all coronaviruses, influenza, herpes, many others) - destroying the virus. Photographic proof is below from UT Medical Branch using an electron microscope.

A Broad Spectrum Target
Viruses - including #COVID - inherit their membrane from the infected host cell, and bring it with them like camouflage. That membrane is marked for destruction by the immune system and that marker - phosphatidylserine - is what CLAROMERS target.

This Mendelian randomization study finds that a higher childhood body size has a direct effect on lower vitamin D levels in early life, while in midlife, childhood body size impacts adult obesity indirectly to result in lower vitamin D levels.
- Evidence of an effect for higher adult body size on lower 25OHD levels measured in adulthood was found in the multivariable model accounting for the childhood body size score.
This suggests that childhood body size has an indirect influence of 25OHD levels in adulthood, likely due to its persistent effect throughout the lifecourse.
Interestingly enough, this one found that Irish children living in the most disadvantaged areas have the highest level of Vitamin D deficiency, affecting 34% of the population.
- Overall, 23% of all children examined were vitamin D deficient (<30 nmol/l).
- In total, half of the cohort had concentrations less than 50 nmol/l, indicating that inadequate vitamin D status was highly prevalent.

High MPV can be caused by #VitaminD deficiency, which i had BEFORE my vaccine (measured historical sample), and is now rectified.
My MPV remains elevated still. Maybe vit D initially triggered it, now the damage is hard to fix?
Maybe something else driving high MPV? 🤔

that explains it… also the pineal gland has many important functions regarding certain hormone productions in the body… heavily affecting our thyroids and heart…#pinealgland PS: think of it as your antenna…that connects you to everyting…with bad reception if calcified/closed
perhaps then it makes sense why our Christ-mas tree is a pine tree…which gives birth to pinecones… and interestingly traditionally have a star on too that the whole decoration revolves around…would you say that we revolve in some form around a star as well? 🤔
