Dr. Geo Espinosa (brief bio below) has written an important post on his blog about Vitamin D which is specific about COVID-19 as well as non COVID times. His comments and thoughts are really important.
“Vitamin D gets a lot of publicity.
It has for a while, not only during these COVID times.
Still, in our society, we tend to build things up to then knock it down.
In a recent article in the New York Post, consuming vitamin D to prevent or co-manage COVID-19 infections was downplayed. Other news outlets jumped on trivializing the vitamin D bandwagon.
These utterly misinformed news platforms quoted “experts” in saying,
“Although there is some evidence that low vitamin D is associated with acute respiratory tract infections, there is currently insufficient evidence for vitamin D as a treatment for COVID-19. Over-supplementing must be avoided as it could be harmful.”
Allow me to share with you how ridiculous this statement is…
