VITAMIN D FOR COVID- 19
a clip from a blog written by doctor..
Thanks for your interest in Vitamin D, it is a subject close to my heart especially in these days of Covid 19. First, it is the only vitamin that has two sources-sunlight and diet, especially fish.
Its action are vast influencing over 80 illnesses, An expert opinion on this is Henry Lahore on LinkedIn in addition to my posts and articles.
In the days of common sense during the Second World War, England found itself running out of food. To protect children every child was given a bottle of Halborange made up of orange juice and halibut oil, no deficiency, replenished every month.
Today testing for vitamin D is limited by our government. Many average citizens when tested have very low levels. In years past it was most likely the cause of Cabin Fever in late Winter.
One last point is that a number of doctors believe that vitamin D protects against the Covid 19 virus, Italy has been ravaged and many Italians have low vitamin D levels, even when supplements are given to the population. The vitamin stops penetration of the virus into the cell.

I know of 4 people who treated the virus with the following ingredients, which led to full recovery:
Horehound Tea: this stops the chest pains
Elderberry Extract or Syrup. Try to get one with less fillers
30,000 to 40,000 icu of Vitamin D3 for three days. Then you can reduce to 25000 after starting to feel better.
Vitamin C 3000 to 4000 mg. Need to build up to avoid tummy ache, or try buffered or Liposomal Vitamin C so you can take larger dosages without tummy problems.
God Bless

I don't know if I had the Covid 19 virus, but I did have symptoms. I wasn't tested as my symptoms were VERY mild. Whatever it was, a flu or otherwise, it was the mildest "virus" I have ever had. I think the reason mine didn't get bad was because I had for the last 2 months been doing an herbal cleanse, specifically, Yerba Prima Women's RENEW Internal cleanse. It's a kit with three supplements. When sick, I took lysine, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A, B-complex, zinc and 3 capsules 3x a day of Goldenseal.
Toward the end, I started taking Elderberry, Wild Cherry Bark, and a product called Bronchial clear and bayberry which is specific for respiratory problems. I believe the cleanse is what helped the most.
Here's why:
Back in the early 1990s I got chicken pox. My only symptoms were 5 pox marks. No fever, no typical viral symptoms. I had been doing a series of colonics to clean out my system when I got the chicken pox. I am convinced that it was cleaning out my body that kept the chicken pox mild.
Recently, I watched a doctor on Facebook talk about the use of zinc and quinine. The quinine acts the same as the medications they are using to treat the corona virus. It helps the cells of the body to absorb zinc.
He suggested 3-4 cups of tonic water containing quinine/day along with zinc.
Probably try 30 mg. of zinc one or two times /day. Do not take large doses of zinc for more than a few days. Walmart carries tonic water. I found some yesterday up near the registers in the front of the store.
AJC (UK) on 04/04/2020:
The well known herb Chinese Skullcap ( Scutellaria Baicalensis) has the ability to inhibit the enzyme neuraminidase produced by respiratory viruses to facilitate entry into host cells/lung tissue.
Vitamin D3 too has antiviral properties in sufficiently high doses.
Compounds within Elderberries have the potential to break down the "spikes" on the viral particle surfaces which attach to lung cells/tissues.
Vitamin C in high doses can help reduce the cytokine storm damage in the lungs.
Maybe none of these is a cure for Covid 19 but as the drug companies have nothing either then maybe these are worth at least considering?

Two or three drops of iodine to distilled water in a hand-held sprayer. Inhale the mist frequently. Colloidal silver may also be used this way too but not together.
High dose vitamin C, 10,000 mgs in water every hour or to bowel tolerance. til you feel better.
Additional zinc daily with food (50mgs twice daily)
Vitamin D 3 with K2 7. (Buy them together if you can.) 10,000 unit daily during close association with the illness.
