Thank you again Dr. Campbell, I'm a black American and I have been taking my vitamin D, and I have bought it for family members and friends. Black Americans are typically very low in vitamin D. Everyone in my family is deficient in vitamin D.
I've been taking vitaminD, prescription strength, 50,000 I U for many years. My doctor said I don't make or store vitD, I know it's not a cure but the healthier you can be & the more protection you use, or hand washing, mask, sanitizing etc , well the better off you will be. The rest is up to The Lord .
Dr. Campbell, I am an African American woman and I watch you daily. The last time i had my Vitamin D tested it was 12. So you are correct that many of us are deficient and need supplements. It is not something that is medically tested for generally, so most people would never know. I was only tested because I was on a physician driven weight loss program. I am very thankful for all you are doing to help us navigate these trying times.
I'm half black and mine was 9... Have been grateful for my healthcare for years and take a 50,000 unit weekly via PRESCRIPTION. Vitamin D needs to build up in the system to so it's important to take it regularly. Also, vitamin deficiency can cause all sorts of mood issues and body pain. Luck to all of you! C:
Mine was also 9. It was tested only after breaking a toe just from exercise. Low D can prevent calcium absorption and give you brittle bones. Hair loss also. A few months of 50k fixed things up.
@@mentalgardenparty1483 Vit D by prescription is usually Vit D2 which is not as beneficial. And 60,000 IU should be divided into 7 days dosage which is more beneficial. The old outdated huge dosaging at one time has been changed. Of course Vit K2 taken with it to prevent calcifications forming in very unwanted areas. No Vit K2 for those on blood thinners.
Fred Yang it should not be regarded as politically anything it's just a fact. Like people with dark skin people originate from hot climates, it's just a fact nothing to do with politics.
Well, the framing of the fact can be rhetorically and practically important. There are several correct ways to convey a single piece of information and many have different effects.
Alex C Correct according to whom? Have our overlords the speech police approved of it? If you are not free to express yourself using basic facts then you are not truly free.
@@humboldtharry4248 Well said. It doesn't matter HOW you state a correct fact, there will always be those who will perceive it to be something else. Those are the ones who will insist whatever is said should be framed in a particular manner when those same people need to stop thinking of everything in terms of the colour of anyone's skin, nationality or other variant of human existence.
@@mypointofview1111 My thoughts exactly! What is happening? i thought each generation got smarter more evolved.. but nowadays you can easily be called a racist by stating a simple fact :/
Ignore the hate John, You deserve recognition and a medal 🏅 for all your wise hard work over these last few month, and the last 40-odd years of dedication. 💙
Tired of the Dr. having to justify himself talking about the scientific facts because some snowflakes might get offended. They need to learn the world does not revolve around their feelings.
Racism is real and happens all the time, everywhere. He needs to be careful because what he is saying could very easily be interpreted as racism. I am glad he is aware that this could be a problem, and that he is careful to say that this isn't why he is saying what he is saying.
There are also racists who love to see black people die and suffer playing games in comments sections about this cos it suits their agenda. They call "racist" at John for calling for the protection of darker skinned people from this virus cos the racists are happy that they're dying in higher numbers. They're evil. And the others calling him 'racist' are just the terrifying phenomenon known as righteous psychopaths. They have no innate morals or compassion and are very formulaic in their ethics and have no way to formulate a sound view of anything. They are tiresome "do gooders" who care more about themselves and how others perceive them than the putative object of their 'concern'. Especially the painfully stupid people with university 'educations'. We are one human race and the evolutionary environmental adaptation of skin pigmentation to either too much or too little skin does not mean one is in any way a better human being than the other. Racialism is a pseudo science from centuries ago and belongs in the bin along with phrenology and "blood letting" and witch hunting.

There are posters on the Glasgow underground trains emploring you to report hate speech to the police.
I'm black and in the United States. I listen to your videos everyday and I love them. I'm not afraid of covid 19 because of you and MedCramm. I go outside everyday to get my vitamin D and I have been taking vitamins since winter started. I also text my family members and tell them to get outside and enjoy the sunshine.
Scooper Wilson good for you. I live in NC close to SC & GA borders so I often see news channels from 3 different states & I have yet to hear a peep @deficient Vit D levels in darker skinned people. Eat lots of dark leafy greens too. Spinach in particular has more bioavailable Vit D per cup
@Scooper Wilson I feel for dark skin coloured people who do not have access to RU-vid. You are so right to pass the message about Vit D! I am white, but with a parent who had matching skin, and horrendous skin cancer history. So I have stayed indoors most of my adult life and consequently had extremely low Vit D levels for decades. 4 bouts of pneumonia and a lung fungus that the average person kills easily later I found about Vitamin D. I have gone from 25 to 61 in 2 years, and taking 4000 per day (2,000 previously) now of K2+D3 to give my body every chance of defending itself. AUD15/month is a small price to pay. No one in my family believes me, nor will look at the research I have found. Thankfully one friend did listen. I have tried twice to bring it to the attention of media and one group finally asked a senior nurse. Her response was that she was unaware of any published research for treatment of covid-19 using Vitamin D. I never said it treated it! And the reporting agency ignored this newsworthy investigation opportunity! Medical researchers, phaermaceutical companies all go after their pet projects, instead of reviewing what is already known and thinking outside the box. Everyone, in my opinion, and especially every dark skinned person should know about Vitamin D and upper respiratory infections, and asthma. And every nursing home should be dosing residents with Vitamin D when serving meals. But governments are intent on leaving discovery of the holy grail to researchers with vested interests. And ignoring already discovered knowledge. I hope you and yours keep safe.
vitamindwiki.com/VitaminDWiki Look under Pneumonia, Respiratory, Breathing and Tuberculous.. Read and weep. Weep at all the lives being lost due to suppression of this information by Big Pharma and MSM so they can get trillions of dollars from the patented drug/vaccine many months away...
No that’s really not the message, continue to be really scared of the Coronavirus , because you need to stay away from others , BUT you may go out judiciously. With care. Be scared, be very scared.
Try a 3rd one called Peak Prosperity. Medcram, Dr John Campbell and Dr Chris Martenson on Peak Prosperity will open your eyes. I mean that in no offence. I'm sure you're very well informed. Take care.
During WW2 families had to indure wondering if their -father was going to come home -brother was going to come home -husband was going to come home.. -rationing food -rationing gas -curfews -if the country was going to get attacked... We lost 405,000Americans over the course of 4 years to defeat the Germans and Japanese... So far we have lost close to 70,000 citizens to Covid 19 over 8 weeks and all we are being asked to do is to -stay home -wear a mask -and wash your hands It's only been 2 months And we can't deal with that!! PATHETIC
Thanks for the info. I'm a person of color and i don't find that statement about vitamin D offensive. I think if anything, it's detrimental if officials don't mention it for colored minorities.
Colour-be-damned...smile. Everybody should be made aware of this, and I have been a mother for a long time so I am telling you that you had better be using D3...wagging of finger.
I find it very disturbing that the news in North America hasn't mentioned it in their broadcasts. I do not want to think what I am thinking, if you catch my drift.
I’m older and it’s so easy to stay inside. My youngest has made a point to walk me 30 minutes plus a day in the sun! LoL Actually I’m walking the dog but he makes sure I Do GET OUT plus I take my vitamins that includes D. Fresh air does you good!! Makes you feel positive!

We need on balance high levels of both but a higher level of copper (liver is best)
What I highly admire in you, Dr Campbell (apart from your great talent in explaining complex issues in simple terms) is that you immediately point out and rectify when having made a mistake. Very few doctors do that so publicly !
Passi Flower look to take your maximum daily dose which is probably around 4000iu. I’ve been taking this dose for a number of years as I was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis 9 years ago, and after 9 years I am in fairly good condition as I take Vit D only I’m sure it has played it part.
I am glad you and your mom are being proactive but more is better. Plus if you like salmon and other fishes then it is an awesome excuse to get even more of those in your diet. (I love a seared salmon steak. Yum. There are some amazing recipes, too.) I hope both you and your mom stay safe.
Under Dr. advisement, I take Vitamin D3 5000 IU (international units) a day. Non prescription. I take Nature Made brand I purchase at Wal Mart. It helps keep your immune system strong.
I as a black person am facepalming over people saying this skin color/V-D matter is in any way racist. I can't believe people are choosing to focus on that over actual fact. Oh wait, it's 2020. I can believe that that's what people are doing.
It’s very depressing. If this turns out to be true, how many lives could have been saved, had people with darker skin colour been advised to take over the counter, cheap vitamin d tablets?
Dr. John thank you for everything. Like many people I have seen in the comments your daily updates are a great way to stay informed and you help with my sanity. Honestly it’s refreshing when you make a mistake you just apologize and fix the mistake. I wish everyone in the world could hear your updates.
I want to thank you for constantly mentioning vitamin D. I finally called my sister and encouraged her to make sure her husband and children have high enough vitamin D levels since they are African Americans.
You’re not racist by saying this disease may affect non-whites, people are just ultra sensitive when anything is mentioned regarding race. I am non-white myself so I hope I can somewhat speak for us.
We do need to be conscious when we talk about race, but also not avoid talking about race. Even at the risk of blundering a little. I know I often open my mouth just to change feet.
Tears welled up that he would be called racist for trying to save the lives of non-white people. There are so many people who are not protective of minorities and surely the people not wearing masks and not social distancing and not closing anything in their countries - those are the ones more likely to not be sensitive to the very real needs of the races. He has mentioned vulnerabilities for places like Africa and for poor people so often. Again, genuine tears that we can't have this conversation, and that people can't see the heart of a servant.
I have a friend who is in constant Afib and he has to stay out of the sun due to one of his meds. Nobody has ever said anything to him about Vit D. Weird, especially here in Canada where it's pretty widely known we need it.
Not a lot, they normally have small staff ratio to residents, prior to my elderly friend's death, it was only when I visited her that she went outside if the weather was nice.
Absolutely agree with you Dr Campbell, we need to screen for vitamin d deficiency, no way is it racist to call it out when it could literally save lives. Thank you for doing this and please continue with the campaign. I can only hope the right people start to take this seriously soon.
Sir John, The thousands of us who watch you every day find no fault when you make a minor error now and then you put hundreds and hundreds of hours of tape out there for us to listen to and of course anyone’s gonna make a few mistakes here and there it’s no big deal we love that you are out there and sharing this information with us thank you thank you thank you. I like many others feel that a certain kind of friendship has developed between myself and you after watching you for so many months even though there are limitations to using RU-vid. Also do you think once perhaps you might be able to bring your wife in so that we could see her and thank her for supporting the many hours you spent putting together this information that you share with us.
Afro-Caribbean here, I'm definitely not a medical professional but the more I look into Vitamin D and immunity, the more logically sound it is. Not a fan of lactose products either so I'll be supplementing it!
Dr. Campbell, you haven't included Vietnam in your update since March, before lockdown. Since then, we've ended our lockdown, gone three weeks without a case of community spread, and opened up everything besides karaoke parlors and clubs. I still have no idea why you stopped updating, but from tomorrow I might start including a daily update in the comments.
I think there is no reason to mention Vietnam because you have no problems. Until Quebec and Ontario started having problems he never mentioned Canada either. He can't mention every country in world just the ones that have bad problems.
@@ktkat1949 This could be said for New Zealand too, which is close to almost no community spread. And he's mentioned every single country in Asia since March, and avoided VN. Judging by the comments I'm not the only one who's noticed it either.
@The Reverand Tex Watson the numbers were verified by the U.S. CDC representative John MacArthur, among others. And if there were just one community case in VN, it would've spread by now. Moot point.
@@vietnam1978 I would actually consider it to be a good thing (for the country in question.. in this case Vietnam) to have a country that is doing well go unmentioned. It means you have done an excellent job. Be proud.
I actually turned my my head with ear forward and got closer to phone, when he whispered "biological" :)

On vitamin D: What I am telling my friends of color is this: Currently, we all have very little control over that this virus does. Beyond staying home, keeping physical distancing and face masks there is not much else except eat healthy. Vitamin D which boost the immune system is something we all can take and we all need it so why not? Even if it does nothing against covid-19 it still will help you with other illnesses. Take it please and tell your family and friends to take it too.

Don’t worry about people shouting racist. The real racist thing to do would be to ignore these effects and let an ethnic minority be more severely impacted by the disease.
As far as the LOWER Chinese women deathrates, they are socially most comfortable wearing community-protective facemasks! No increased deaths from either Vit D or facemasks! JUST DO IT!
Seriously? What is wrong with you people!!! He has said people in poorer countries will die. Wow. Hasn't that been happening forever!!!! How many people per day die in Africa without covid19? Per day the death rate is more than covid19 combined in every country up until now!!! Again.. He is a nice gentleman but yet again he was interviewed on how many tv stations and not once did he mention vitamin d. Wouldn't that have been a perfect time to bring that up!!! Basically as usual the blacks will die before whites and if any testing is going to happen lets do it in Africa because nobody gives a fuck!!! Crazy fucked up world.

@@thatguy1247 do some research on Fauci and hiv. You missed my point all together. The Dr is basically saying that the poor will suffer more than the rich. Hasn't it always been that way? Regardless weather its Africa or people in nyc that live on the streets. I have followed this dr from day one. Love what he does but he is starting to fade a little on me. Like i wrote. He had many times to really push this vitamin D thing on national tv programs but did not mention it from the broadcast's that id seen. Why not? The lady he interviewed the other day via Skype is a 5hr drive from nyc which is now the epicenter of all this. When will he interview someone at the forefront at nyc. The other dr in either Iraq or Iran he interviewed again via Skype. Is she at the forefront in those countries or on the outskirts hours away. All he has done is basically is give us information that we can also access via the net and keeps saying wash your hands. Stay at home. Cover your mouth. Great work!!! Check out peak prosperity on RU-vid. Both thesee guys do a good job but peak is actually really getting to the bottom of this while dr campbell is still just bringing up things that are very obvious.
What's a better solution for the problem of "people" avoiding and discrimating against other people because they heard somewhere that blacks/indians/whatever are "more affected"?
"that means that people that had died have come back to life and we have no evidence for that" so, we are *still* just one step away from the zombie apocalype
Of course, these days we don't need evidence to have facts, so I'm remaining a bit concerned and thinking about getting several shotguns and machetes just in case. 😂
26:30 as a Thai. Masks and hand sanitizers are everywhere, I mean everywhere! you go outside, you wear a mask. it has been like this since around March, I think. 7-11 is also a big part in this since its stores are everywhere. they've been taking people temp, giving hand sanitizer before they can go inside. i.imgur.com/rfesKOj.jpg as a weather. it is indeed hot, extremely hot outside 30c-40c.
I lived in Bangkok when I was young, I definitely remember it was hot. I'm pretty sure it was very humid too. I've read that Covid doesn't do well in humidity. ALWAYS great info and delivery Dr. Thank you for all you do❤
This 82% could have been avoided if protections were put in place at the end of January. The first American diagnosed was from a care home, in Washington state, on January 21st. The first to die in America was at a care homein early February. Canada was just putting together a committee on March 4th, to handle the affairs of the virus. Not a thought to care homes at this time. Even though it was also well known that elderly men, esp those with comorbidities were dying at higher numbers than any other sectors in society in Asia. Lots of info in the public domain to learn from. No Canadian gov't representatives picked up on this.
Its not just Canada - its happening here in the UK too. The care home sector, and care in the community services, has long been the cinderella part of the health system in respect of funding - its been cut and ignored for years by the politicians, and now the pigeons are coming home to roost... hospitals here have been shoving elderly people with Covid into nursing and care homes to die there instead of hospital because they're under great strain, and that's mostly why the death rates in them are so high. One thing this virus has done - it has and is highlighting every weak area in society and running riot through them all - the poor, the homeless, the overcrowding and under funding of various sectors (particularly heatlh sectors) in the UK - inequality across the board is now appallingly, glaringly obvious in the worst possible way. I can only hope this will lead to a reformulation, reorganisation of allocation of funds and some better solutions ongoing...
I think every country has failed their elderly. Here in New York State on March 25th Governor Cuomo issued an edict that nursing homes had to admit/re-admit patients even if they were COVID positive! Most of these homes have limited PPE and no way to isolate the infected. What a stupid thing to do. You can guess what has happened. Thousands have died in nursing homes because of this. So much for protecting our vulnerable. This is really criminal.
Crystal I was cracking up too. He is trying so hard to be politically correct and everything. What a sweet man he is. We are in a world that you must be consciously sensitive to everything you say or it may offend people. It’s a shame, many lies occur because we are afraid to hurt feelings. In the name of science, the poor doc, can’t say what needs to be said. Bottom line- just take some vitamin D!!
Not a laughing matter when it means lives are being lost. And we all know it's not people with dark skin whose censure he's fearful of. It's the authoritarian far left, the proud and virtuous Marxists in their breast beating struggle sessions.
Andy Jarman calm down. I’ve lost people too. I’m a minority too. I’m not laughing about being racist. Im not laughing about people who are dying which I just found out my aunt died today. I’m laughing at how cute he was trying to be about being political correct. It cute And I found it amusing. Call me racist when I’m a minority too. I’ll be glad because guess what I gotta deal with people thinking I’m Chinese and I brought the virus and my kids. I gotta worried about people wanting to harm me and my kids. So chill out, enjoy the damn podcast! And take you damn vitamin d. Let me Mourn my aunt, buy my guns, fight like an American when no one thinks i am. Bc I will fight shit goes down.
Thanks John, I call for Vitamin D research as well. Come on world. Your views are far from racist and we need to put PC to the side to save lives as all lives matter.
@OwlFarm Albion Unfortunately that is the viewpoint that many of those who would call someone racist seem to actually hold. For clarity I am not saying you are one for stating that fact. I just despise when those people disregard science in favor of 'feelings.' Science does not give a squat about anyone's feelings. If the science says vitamin D deficiency results in higher mortality *and* darker skinned people are more likely to be vitamin D deficient.. then it is likely that more people of darker skin tone will die. The data so far seems to prove that theory HOWEVER until a comprehensive study of vitamin D levels of the deceased is done then it remains just a theory. A good theory, in my opinion.. but still a theory. Even afterwards it is still just a theory which may be later disproven by other, currently unavailable facts and data. I'm just rambling now so I will stop.. but you get what I mean hehe.
John, thank you for caring greatly for all of humanity. Thank you for all the time and energy you spend daily on finding answers and explanations for the general public. Thank you from one of your many admirers in the USA. Kim
Well we DO get to be offended when BS is passed off as Science. There is huge mounting evidence that contradicts what he is saying. I have followed him for 6 weeks and have watched him stubbornly ignore this mounting evidence. Lock downs DO NOT have a single shred of proof proving they work. None. But they do have plenty of proof they destroy the economy and will kill many more people than the virus ever could.
You need to know the race of recovered to go along with deaths or this "FACT " is fucking useless lol.. Seriously you armchair doctors need to give it a rest.
People are rightfully concerned about race. But this is more about vitamin D, which may have a fuzzy connection with skin color and sunlight. By the way, Chinese people generally try to avoid sun exposure, as they value lighter skin as a culture. Sometimes to the extent of having face masks when at the beach. This might be part of the key to understanding death rates. He might be on to something.
It's been hard for me to tell my friends about vitamin D, I'I'm in Sydney Australia, i have a lot of culturally diverse friends and accquaintances6, the only one that understood it straight away was my friend from Chile, she takes vitamin D as she doesn't spend much time in the sun and it also helps her depression She understood straight away
Dr John, my day job is helping managers and leaders make decisions. I teach how errors are made, and I include research on errors made by doctors in diagnosis and treatment. There is good research to show the when people (and doctors, and medics are people), have one explanation for some effect, they discount any other contributing explanatory factor. It is an error in reasoning, and training, and in the motivation to think. One can be smart, and work hard, but thinking critically and reasoning does not necessarily follow. Stanovich and West (2008) showed that the correlation between intelligence and critical thinking (in a sample of Harvard students), was just .30 or a weak correlation. So they have developed tests to assess the motivation and ability to think critically. I have a long list of typical errors that doctors make, that has been documented by research.
I have friends who spent ten years in medical training. Their lives and thoughts have been trammelled. They are not the most humble, or imaginative bunch I know. Being open minded is actually not an asset and is selected out in a highly codified profession like medicine.
Common sense does not apply to the politically correct. They are perpetually offended on behalf of themselves or others. Their ignorance and inability to think for themselves is astounding and often dangerous.
Slevin A Don’t take it then. But if it doesn’t hurt to take it then why not? I’m fair skinned but I’ve been taking it since February. It may help, it may not but at least I have tried what I could

Dr john is a great doctor. I have personally learned alot from him by watching his videos. Because of his advice I have been giving vitamin D supplement to my elderly mother as well as taking myself. Dr.john is the way a doctor should be. I dont think he feels comfortable stating these figures. But thats the way they are. Instead of doing anything else people of darker skin should take vitamin D supplement.
If he were racist he wouldn't care to try to warn the black community. Its also killing more men than women. I am sure they will start saying that is sexist or not trans friendly advice.
Sir John, I would like to bestow upon you the title of knighthood of the realm of the United States. I believe the queen of England will do this as well at a later date but I imagine she’s quite busy right now with what’s going on. When you are finally invited to the palace for the ceremony I’d like it if you would invite me I’d be very happy to be there when you are bestowed this title.
Lovely idea, Martin. I'm in Australia, but let's all get over to the Palace and throng the streets to thank him. Distanced, obviously, but he deserves to SEE & HEAR the gratitude he has created. Bravo, Dr John X
I am Mexican, I was not offended by the Vitamin D info. Dr. provided in previous videos. I live in the U.S. things are getting intense! People still believe that the virus is a hoax and that lockdowns are not necessary. Ever one I used to follow on RU-vid is now some kind of conspiracy theorist! I very much appreciate the information given by Dr Campbell! Keep up the good work Dr.
Thank you for being "biologically" correct😇. We appreciate that and you!! I was wondering about this vit D deficiency: would that account for all dark skinned people? Africa is a very sunny continent and people are more inclined to be outside than in Europe for instance. Would "Africa's Africans" also have a vit D deficiency? What I actually want to know is : is this a lack of sun or is this an inability to produce vit D?
Dr. Campbell in another video spent most of his time discussing Vitamin D and said that a dark skinned person getting a lot of sun could still have Vitamin D deficiency as the dark skin acts as a kind of filter to sunlight. As most of Vitamin D is synthesized from the sun - low absorption of sun leads to low synthesis of Vitamin D by the body. Vitamin D is needed as a part of the immune system.
@@caseyslove thank you for summarizing that. How kind and thoughtful you are. I am sending love and hugs from Washington state, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling and ASMR.
For now our data from Italy show no difference in death rates between italians and foreigners regardless of where they came from. Our health officals did a study comparing immigrants from low income, medium income, high income countries and the italian population and there were no differences both in serious cases than in death rates, so maybe how sunny your country is is indeed a factor. Even in the north of Italy there are a lot of sunny days all year around so maybe that can compensate it enough for darker skin tones to produce enough vitamin D
I would love for you to talk about the situation we have in Hong Kong, John. No new community spread cases for over 2 weeks. I'm currently on a busy MTR heading to work, everyone is wearing masks. Schools going back this month in a phased manner. Government is using every citizen a mask that is reusable for 60 uses and has copper strands weaved into it.

Effectively, Germany is practising what the likes of Taiwan and Singapore did from the start. We should therefore have all been copying those countries from day 1.
Better still, follow the science not the practice. Peak Prosperity has been advocating masks and vitamin d since January. This advice founded on reviews of statistical and research information. PLANT A GARDEN, DO IT NOW. You'll get more sun and be able to afford a better diet in the coming years of hyperinflation.
That's what we're doing, copying another country. Copying Nazi Germany. Copying other countries, communist countries. Since 1949, two "Chinas" actually exist, namely the Republic of China (ROC, now usually known as "Taiwan") and the People's Republic of China (PRC, commonly known as "China"). You're asking for tyranny and when you taste that power and control you don't let it go, it's taken away from you by the people after years and years of oppression. Unless they're made docile, like in Russia and China. Laugh now, you'll see and cry later.
As an old guy myself, I don’t see how care homes could be protected. With the most vulnerable people housed in proximity and sharing facilities and carers, just one infected outsider could introduce the infection and it would be very difficult to prevent it from spreading amongst the residents.
Staff need to be tested before going into care home. How this would work I do not know, but this is why we have a government to organize , they are good at organizing press conferences and that's about all they are good at.
As soon as it was established that there was a virus in circulation that mainly affected the elderly, there should be a set of ring-fencing measures in place. Requiring care home staff to live in in set periods (if not permanently), having family members visit at windows, and having a distancing protocol for receiving deliveries would be key steps to reduce transmission risk. As with many things in this crisis, it has become apparent that there was no plan in place.
KungZoo Any plan has to be based on the possible, rather than the ideal. Care personnel, including cooks and cleaners, have families they also need to care for. Food and other supplies need to be brought into the home. The PCR test for the virus has a false negative rate up to 25% and even the truly negative could be infected the day after a test , so it would be next to impossible to ensure that all staff are virus free.
I think big pharma is interested in patentable, high margin magic bullets which save severely ill people,. They have little incentive to invest in evaluating old drugs, supplements, natural products. In other words, they have little interest in prophylactic compounds chemicals compounds that are readily available. Also , academics whose research is funded by big pharma are not incentivized to be scientifically objective.
Mindless: LOTS of profits in Vitamin supplements because research and development is already finished, FDA died not have to approve in USA, and vitamins are NOT apt to cause litigation over injury. LOTS of vitamins for sale in USA.
No money in it. Big Pharma will make 2 to 4 TRILLION from the vaccine/drug. Do the math. 7 billion people times a $100 a shot times repeat shots times 7 varieties of corona virus = about $2000 000 000 000 at least... vitamindwiki.com/
Your not being racist good god. Your only careing about everyone's wellness. Everyone should get their vitamin d level checked anyway. Im a white male and I have low vitamin d. I take about 3000 IU a day. I appreciate what your doing these videos are very informative.
I do so agree with your comments!!! The truth is the truth and vitamin D-3 with K-2 is a good thing to do for "ALL" of us...we are not getting enough! As a Black woman, I know this to be true~
I'm cautiously confident that the easing will work well in Germany, but I want point out two things: The new cases will only turn up in about 2 weeks. What we see now are infections from 2 weeks ago when the lockdown was still in place. Angela Merkel has stated clearly that they have to wait at least 2 weeks before drawing conclusions. The other thing is Germany has waited several weeks during which the active cases were going down to make sure the hospitals are not overwhelmed immediately when the infection rate increases.
This is well known knowledge through the medical community I’m of mixed race and have been taken vitamin d for years and get it regularly checked by GP. It’s up to your GP to do those checks, once again thank you for your informative update, keeping it real in the face of adversity.
San Jose NorCal in the house Dr. Campbell you come to California and many of us will be glad to give you the Grand Tour! Did you know that you can go 1 hour and any direction in this state and have anything from the ocean to the snow? Okay well might be more than one hour but you get the point come on down we'll be glad to have you
I did a zoom call with a friend in the US who is a nurse and I mentioned the vitamin D deficiency and the mortality rate in African Americans, and she completely cut me down as though I was crazy. Insisted that it was solely due to lack of access to healthcare, poor nutrition, and poor overall health due to pre-existing issues. She would not even listen to my reasoning🙄🤦♀️
I think she was wrong to cut you down about it, but the one thing I cannot reconcile is is it due to skin color or an issue of genes. Skin color is polygenic. It seems strange that biracial/multiracial people-assuming they are not generalizing by skin tone would be so less likely to die than black people despite maybe being around the same skin tone. And a lot of the ethnic minorities that are more likely to die than biracial people are lighter than biracial people.I’d like to see the data compared between biracial people of lighter hue vs black people (2 black parents ) or lighter hue. And biracial people of darker tone and black people of medium/darker tone. I’d also like to see that data compared to ethnic minorities of darker skin like darker skinned Indians and Bangladeshi people to see if the issue is due to melanin deposit or the genetics surrounding melanin deposition so that we do not see a false sense of safety or conflate something that is not necessarily true. I’d also like to see how ethnic diet plays a role between people of darker skin and lighter
AllyD The nurse citing poor nutrition thinks people were forced fed junk foods and processed foods. I remember my grandmother cooking and she never opened a box or a can. Real food cooked fresh. Even if on a budget.
Jackie Perez both are right. But it isn’t just about junk food. A lot of black “cultural” food, even when home cooked fresh is generally unhealthy or high in sodium. The poor diet and health access are the reasons why black people get the virus at a disproportionate level, but the vitamin d and other genetic issues are why we are not recovering. This is how I’m taking it imo
They’re gonna start easing some restrictions in Ontario, so there’s no question it’ll go back up. But it’s our nursing homes that are getting affected badly.
i cannot understand why people have just left elderly relatives in care homes during this pandemic. we all know that large groups spread diseases faster. it just makes so much sense to bring them back home for the duration. i mean i could understand leaving them if you can't handle them, like end stage altzhimers who reacts to confusion with violence, but if they just can't handle stairs anymore and need some help dressing...
I feel so sad for Those with no family. My mother and aunt brought my grandma home. She is hard to care for, she is so lucky to have had seven children and have three living near by, they do rounds caring for her and hired a nurse a 2 days a week to help. Most ppl don’t have 7 children these days coming together to help their parents.
Older people don’t get in the sun and most don’t take extra vitamin d, when we are young we drink milk and stay outside. When I was young I drank milk everyday and lived in the sun.. playing,... vitamin d makes so much sense.. mine was lower when I was diagnosed with a Sjogreans autoimmune. I started taking extra vitamin and have not had a flare up in 1 1/2 years
@@alexc2265 Well, if it carries Vit D easily through your cell membrane, it's obviously beneficial. Maybe not tons of heavy cream diet, but little amounts will help build immune system. Take it with natural yogurt for gut health.
I’ve read that the vitamin D in milk is D2 and is not as readily absorbed and usable as D3. Don’t bother questioning me, I’ve been typing opinions for a long time and consider myself a RU-vid scholar.
Very concerning in UK ALL THIS TALK ABOUT RELAXING THE LOCKDOWN, PICNICS TRIPS TO THE PARK ETC HOW DUMB CAN YOU GET[and note the UK has never closed its borders]
Roger, over at Medcram, has a well thought explanation based on number of proper medical and biological published articles. Watch the last few videos. The man is a genious. And Chris from Peak Prosperity, the first to warn us, has a published proof Vit D works wonders for this pestilence, watch his last video, he is another great lateral thinker. Stay safe John, we love you.
Medcram also has studies of immunity help, sleep, -hot 5min cold 1 min, hot 3 min cold 1 min, hot 1 min cold 1 min, finish off shower with hot to build White blood cells-and cedar & pine walks in forests boosting immune for a week at a time.
They are under strict orders not to. No money in it. Big Pharma will make 2 to 4 TRILLION from the vaccine/drug. Do the math. 7 billion people times a $100 a shot times repeat shots times 7 varieties of corona virus = about $2000 000 000 000 at least...The ministers will get lucrative 'consultancy' jobs when they leave as a reward. vitamindwiki.com/
Part of me would like to see Channel 4 do a new dramatic series set in the Early 80s about a motorcycle riding young male A&E nurse practicing in the North of England. Maybe call it "Nurse John." Imagine the great soundtrack such a series could have. All that great 80s punk, set against the conflict between the North and Thatcher's policies? I think that could be the next Call the Midwife. Okay, I may have been watching a few too many Let's Play videos of Landlord's Super this past week.
"people jump to a psycho social explanation and ignore biological fact" Welcome to 2020 dude, where biological differences are just socially constructed. It's OK to talk about class, social status, privilege and other progressive themes, but discussing science is haram again. Recognizing any group difference is one of the worst sins you can make in this social climate today.
@@BigHenFor That's the funny thing here. In this case it's not about race, but the actual color of the skin. The good Doctor would help his cause a lot, if he would stop talking in racial colors, and point out that the difference is between dark-skinned and light-skinned people across all races.
Hey Dr John. I'm in Canada where more women die from COVID-19 because .... retirement homes have been hit so hard? Well that's my theory anyway p.. Great vids, good science!
The older you are - the more denuded in copper you are. the fatter you are - the more denuded in copper - men have less copper than women. Care homes need more liver and onions to raise copper levels and vitamin D aids its adsorption.
Thank you so much for for keeping all of us updated with the CORRECT information. I'm stuck in greece from Australia. There are no apps. No temperature taking while entering a store , no social distancing, no one really wears masks , trade unions want everything to open.. I'm horrified. Do you believe a second wave will came. ( frankly I don't think the first wave has ended) Again I am truly grateful for your in depth work and dedication on public awareness concerning covid-19.
Going outside and getting fresh air, sunlight, and light exercise is exactly what people need at this time. Exposing skin to UV-B from the sun will help build Vitamin D levels, and the nitric oxide created by UV-A from the sun will lower blood pressure. Both low vitamin D status and high blood pressure are significant risk factors for dying from Covid19, and you won't improve either by sitting around indoors.
I am late too! Today is my birthday, I made it to 66 years, yahoo. I watch you every day, because I like the truth and the facts. Your the man! Thank you, everyday.
Wisconsin has followed Georgia's lead in allowing teenagers to send away for their driving license. And we thought dodging all the Illinois drivers every summer was bad...
I love his grin. He is rightly solemn about a lot of the information, but what warmth and humour Dr John has. I don’t agree with his apparent admiration for Neil Ferguson, and I think the origin of this virus is murkier than he thinks - but I love his updates.
Neil Ferguson specified in his recent interview available on RU-vid last week that his assigned task was/is monitoring, evaluating, and forecasting hospital needs. Within about 50 miles from Washington, DC sheltering in place instantly when Neil Ferguson's report was made public in early March.
