Konstantin posted:I'm hearing that Vitamin D may be effective is reducing symptom severity of coronavirus, but the information seems to really vary. Some scientists speculate that a deficiency may make you more vulnerable, there has been a small study showing supplementation reducing ICU admissions in people with the virus, and some less reliable sources are recommending that you take 10x the RDA. Mainstream sources don't seem to be reporting on this though, which makes me suspicious. If there was a easy, safe.option like this you'd think that everyone would be recommending it. You linked to a mainstream source in your post, and since it's a journal article it cites a bunch of other journal articles making related observations. Do you mean popsci journalists aren't reporting on it? Because a cursory google search shows that that's not the case either So what do you mean exactly?

Every time I get labs done my vitamin D is really low. They had me take a once weekly 50,000 unit capsule for a while. Now I take maybe 5,000 units a day on my own. I'm not sure when my next labs will be but I'm hoping it's actually normal for once.

I'm not sure when my next labs will be but I'm hoping it's actually normal for once. Funnily enough, just before all this started, I was chatting to a doctor who mentioned (in the grey and gloomy British Isles) that a lot of BAME people have Vitamin D deficiency and they were going to start more aggressively testing for and treating it. I don't know if any serious investigation has been done as to whether this is the reason behind the much higher death rates among BAME people, even adjusted for the usual social and economic factors, but that conversation came to mind as soon as the deaths started mounting.

The skin of BAME individuals produces less vitamin D than the standard British Gammon when exposed to UV light. The standard advice is 15 minutes of sun exposure a day on face and arms will be sufficient for Vit D but it turns out it only works if you are white. The same pigmentation that stops BAME people from becoming riddled with skin cancer also impedes Vit D formation not to mention cultural factors about sun exposure.

fondue posted:I grew up in the 70s and 80s and all of the old black and white TV shows that weren't "Growing Up with Dad" or something wholesome like that used, "I'll get the switch!" or belt or whatever as a punchline. Even some of the family shows of the 80s hinted at it as a joke and Bart was regularly choked by Homer as a gag. A lot of comedians in the 80s used it as samples of their life and jokes like Chris Rock, Bill Cosby, or Eddie Murphy. The good ol' days of laughing about child abuse. Good thing that sort of stuff never happens today.

CannonFodder posted:Can you even get appreciable sunshine through smoke clouds? I looked this one up a while ago because I wanted to know about its effect on denaturing the virus. It turns out that the ultraviolet blockage from wildfire smoke is roughly proportional to the visible light blockage, so if there’s smoke but it’s just like overcast, you’re getting a decent amount of UV exposure. If there’s so much smoke it’s like twilight at midday, you’re getting very little UV.

I dunno, but I haven't gotten the roni yet (that I know of) despite going into my office every day and my boyfriend working retail. The only form of vitamin D available for prescription in the US is D2, not the D3 that nearly every other country and recommendation/dosage reflects. D3 is processed more easily too. The US is behind the times, no surprise. D3 is what you'll usually find for supplements, but D2 is also available (D2 is what they add to milk iirc). Sublingual tabs or droplets of d3 actually work best, so well that I went from "adult rickets" level low to too high in a couple months, but I'd admittedly been trying to reach high levels because after iron deficient anemia and then vitamin D deficiency I was sick of feeling exhausted. If you're going to be taking vitamin D supplements for awhile, you may want to consider taking K2 as well as they work better together. And probably get your calcium levels checked as that's necessary for vitamin D to do much. Also, vitamin D is not a vitamin, but a hormone. And it's pronounced, "vitamin".
