2. 80% of C*V*D-19 Deaths Have THIS On Their Body
Shocking reports from around the world are revealing one surprising statistic…
Stop waiting for a miracle drug: A Boston University doctor says a su몭cient amount of
vitamin D can cut the risk of catching coronavirus by 54%.
“People have been looking for the magic drug or waiting for the vaccine and not
looking for something this simple,” said Dr. Michael Holick, professor of medicine,
physiology and biophysics at Boston University School of Medicine.
Holick and his colleagues studied blood samples from Quest Diagnostics of more than
190,000 Americans from all 50 states and found that those who had de몭cient levels of
vitamin D had 54% higher COVID positivity compared to those with adequate levels of
vitamin D in the blood.
The risk of getting coronavirus continued to decline as vitamin D levels increased, the
study, published in the Public Library of Science One peer-reviewed journal shows.
“The higher your vitamin D status, lower was your risk,” Holick said.
Many people are vitamin D-de몭cient because there are only small amounts in food,
Holick said. Most vitamin D comes from sun exposure and many are deprived,
especially during winter months.
But the sunshine vitamin is easy to 몭nd and relatively cheap in drug stores, and taking
vitamin D pills comes at no risk. “It’s perfectly safe,” Holick said.
“It’s considered to be, by many, the nutrient of the decade,” Holick said.
COVID-19 positivity is strongly associated with vitamin D levels in the blood, a
relationship that stayed the same across di몭erent races, sexes and age ranges, the study
states.
Vitamin D suppresses excessive cytokine release that can present as a cytokine storm, a
common cause of COVID-related morbidity and mortality.

3. A de몭ciency in the nutrient alters the immune system, making one more likely to get
upper respiratory infections, Holick said.
Throughout the pandemic, people of color have been disproportionately a몭ected by
coronavirus, experiencing a higher risk of acquiring it and having serious
complications, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Holick’s study examined the ZIP codes of people of color and found patients from
predominantly Black and Hispanic ZIP codes had lower levels of vitamin D and were
also more likely to have coronavirus than in patients from predominantly white, non-
Hispanic ZIP codes.
The average adult needs around 2,000 units of vitamin D a day, Holick said. He said
he’s been taking 6,000 units a day for decades and is in great health.
Several other studies on vitamin D have shown its bene몭ts to the immune system.
Research published with the National Institutes of Health showed people with lower
vitamin D levels were more likely to self-report a recent upper respiratory tract
infection than those with su몭cient levels.
Another study of more than 11,000 participants published in the British Medical
Journal found vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of acute respiratory tract
infection among all participants.
“Vitamin D de몭nitely improves your overall immunity to 몭ght infections,” Holick said.
Update: A Brigham and Women’s Hospital study will test to see if vitamin D can lessen
the severity of coronavirus symptoms and reduce the chance of becoming infected with
the illness in a nationwide, placebo-controlled trial.
