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
https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj-2021-066452
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?

Do not routinely test for vitamin D deficiency in people who are asymptomatic.

Hello! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
I am often to blogging and i really appreciate your content. The article has really peaks my interest. I am going to bookmark your site and keep checking for new information.
The very root of your writing while sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not really work properly with me after some time. Someplace within the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer but only for a while. I however have got a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. In the event you actually can accomplish that, I could definitely end up being amazed.
