In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a very fascinating study relating to COVID-19.
Vitamin D is not only associated with decreased severity from COVID-2 but also decreased mortality from COVID-2.
A study that involved 780 confirmed cases of SARS-COVID-2 showed decreased severity in blood clots, hypoxia, and respiratory stress.
There were three groups involved in the study:
Group 1: Had enough vitamin D
Group 2: Had insufficient vitamin D
Group 3: Had a deficiency in vitamin D
The group that had a deficiency in vitamin D had a much higher mortality rate than the group that had enough vitamin D.
Vitamin D can potentially put out the cytokine storm. You could be at a much higher risk of infection if you are deficient in vitamin D.

Hi guys I'm back with a very, very fascinating, very interesting study called Patterns of COVID-19 mortality and vitamin D and Indonesian study. |

| 1:07.0 | but decreasing the mortality as well. |
| 1:10.0 | So they had 780 cases who had SARS COVID-2 confirmed on a blood test. |

| 1:21.0 | So they showed decreased severity in blood clots, hypoxone. for the There are three groups, the normal group, which means they had enough |
| 1:34.5 | vitamin D. Now we have insufficient vitamin D. That means that they were |

| 2:00.0 | Now let's compare that with the group that was insufficient. |
| 2:04.9 | 88% of this group died. |
| 2:09.0 | And look at this, of the Vitamin D deficient group, |
| 2:12.2 | which is 23%, 99% of them, died. |
| 2:18.6 | Now why isn't this on the front page of the news? |
| 2:22.2 | I mean, they're doing all these studies with drugs and they |
