RE: New Study in Nature Confirms High Dose Vitamin D Hugely Improves Inflammation in COVID19 Patients

The health care system looks for magic guns while missing the obvious.
The study was of high doses. Low doses seem to working as well.
Vitamin D is a steroid that regulates bone growth, the immune system and blood clotting. People with poor immune systems have bad reactions to COVID19.
The dose does not have to be huge. We can get free vitamin D if we just exposed our skin to direct sunlight at noon for a few minutes.
The UVB rays from the sun (these are strongest at noon) converts cholesterol in the skin into Vitamin D3. Our kidneys convert vitamin D3 to D2.
So, a person who gets some direct sun (about 15 minutes) and has a functioning kidney is likely to have the right amount of Vitamin D.
NOTE: free fructose molecules in the kidney destroy vitamin D. High Fructose Corn Syrup, Invert Sugar, Agava nectar and a few other sources have free fructose molecules.
As far as I am aware, the recommended doses of Vitamin D globally are way lower than is actually necessary for full health. In Britain, for example, it is not technically possible to access enough sunlight for full health, even if you are outside every day of the year, fully exposed.
Free fructose is present in fruit, generally, including apples and pears etc.
What sources are you referring to when you say that fructose destroys Vitamin D?
I found this quote:
Which is saying that the issue is not so much the presence of free fructose in the kidneys, rather it is very high amounts of fructose (from food scientists unnatural sources) triggering enzymatic changes which affect Vitamin D synthesis. It's good to know the risks associated with junk food, for sure!
I'd be interested to learn if there is a "global" value of vitamin D that can actually be applied to all humans, OR, if each region, country, city, etc. might have their own dosage, due to the unique amounts of sunlight that each area has naturally - and how the native humans who live there respond to the natural environment.
Why does the answer always seem to be that we're all equal, but when we know biologically that we're all very very unique - and that each person has evolved differently over time, based on the genetic sequences of their parents (and their parents before them and so on).
We know so little about how human biology works and even less about how human biological evolution occurs from generation to generation.
We know that Sherpas can live in a low-oxygen, high-altitude environment while maintaining physical strength and not experiencing altitude sickness like the rest of us. But we can't point to why. However, we can all agree that we're all human.
We know that people who have darker skin colors have higher resistance to UV rays. We can point to the why on this one, but there are many different health implications for individuals with dark skin colors vs people with light skin colors. We again, are all human, and all "equal" - but we have varying and unique biological needs.
Healthcare needs to focus on individual health- and stop focusing on the health of the collective.
Unless there is a plan to undergo mass genetic modification and/or genocide, to create a "superior race" of humans who are all alike.................
Darker skinned people are said to be more at risk of vitamin D deficiency. Everyone is absolutely unique but obviously we also share a great deal in common with those whose ancestors were nearby to ours or who are similar in other ways.
A great deal of human form is determined by processes that occur within our unconscious, but this does not need to be this way forever.
