Yes, the report was long, although I managed to read and comprehend it all. I agree that if I were to pass it on to anyone else to read, they may not have the stamina or inclination to read it to the end, so a shortened version for the man in the street is a great idea.

I worked at a health shop some years back and one our suppliers who used to run annual seminars, had as their main subject, for 2 years running, the importance of Vit D. It was most informative, and amongst the interesting facts we learned was indeed that there was a shortage of this much needed vitamin, in the worlds population. They also told us that there were more incidents of melanomas in the northern hemisphere/colder climates than in the southern hemisphere, despite the high temperatures. Take the example of someone waking up in the dark in the UK in winter, driving to work, parking and heading up to an office, where they may stay the whole day until going home again, once more, in the dark, seeing no daylight whatsoever, and hence getting no Vit D. We were also told that Vit D cannot pass through glass, so that sitting indoors in a sunlit room will have no effect at all; you have to be outside.

With regard to getting the message of Vit D out to the world as a preventive measure against Covid-19, I think it's very important, but good luck with this as I have read reports of doctors pooh-poohing Vitamin C and D, as well as hydroxycholoroquine, etc. All they seem to want is a vaccine, and that scares me quite frankly.

Ppl can have ill-functioning or fewer D-receptors, or receptor fatigue, & the overweight & elderly cannot absorb & utilize D well. Genetic testing will tell.

Why is there no vit.D sulfate pill?! Ppl need to grasp that the sulfate form is what is created in the skin from UV rays & is the important form.

Regarding sunshine-derived Vit. D: Earth's magnetic shield has become reduced in the last 50+ years so much so that spending time out in the sun became a dangerous thing, not only for skin cancer, but the ADDITIONAL radiation coming in is cumulative & damaging. Radiation sickness can dramatically reduce the # of red blood cells, causing anemia; can cause ulcers in mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines; can reduce enough infection-fighting white cells risking bacterial, viral, fungal infections; causes cataracts. UV light-boxes are optimal.

Photons are encoded with the information of our thoughts & feelings, which epigenetically affects our cellular health. We can control how much photonic light is being stored in DNA! Loving, cherishing, nurturing thoughts & feelings can create a healing response, increasing the number of photons in DNA in lieu of solar photons. Our solar system has recently moved into the Photon Belt so there's photons indoors but we have to maintain positive feelings & thoughts, to benefit.

Hello Dr. Mercola,

As you know, many ppl can have ill-functioning or fewer D-receptors, or receptor fatigue, & the overweight & elderly cannot absorb & utilize D well. They need genetic testing if they cannot seem to optimize their vit. D status.

Did you make it clear UV rays (whether from natural sunshine or UV 'tanning' light bulbs) are the only source for vitamin D3 sulfate? Why is there no vit.D sulfate pill?! Ppl need to grasp that the sulfate form is what is created in the skin from UV rays (provided one consumes plenty of sulfur-containing foods) & is the true health-builder/disorders-preventative form of vitamin D3.

Regarding sunshine-derived Vit. D: Earth's magnetic shield has become reduced in the last 50+ years so much so that spending time out in the sun became a dangerous thing, - not only for skin cancer, but the additional radiation coming in, in itself is cumulative & damaging. Radiation sickness can cause people to feel weak and out of sorts - almost like having a bad version of the flu. It can dramatically reduce the number of red blood cells, causing anemia and increased risk of fainting. Radiation sickness can cause visible ulcers in or on the mouth. In addition, ulcers often form in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

Along with red cells, radiation sickness can reduce the risk of enough infection-fighting white cells in the body.

Photons are encoded with the 'information' of our thoughts & feelings, which consciousness epigenetically affects our cellular health. We can actually directly control how much light is being stored in DNA! Coherent loving, cherishing, nurturing thoughts & feelings can create a healing response, increasing the number of photons in the DNA [in lieu of solar photons].

I was shocked to learn about 12 years ago my husband and my levals were at 19. What i found most puzzling was my husband spends a very large percentage of time outdoors all year round. We spend the winter in Florida. I researched the reasons behind this and quickly realized his poor digestion didn't allow his body to absorb the D from the sun. We also added vitamin K and continued on magnsium. We found the one suspended in coconut and palm oil tobe the most beneficial and cost-effective. We eat very healthily and are very healthy, but it was a shock to see such low D levels. We have increased our levels significantly since then.

Don't dumb it down for us. I'm sorry I skipped chemistry, but I know how to read and I know how to use a dictionary. I can learn. Give it to us straight!

I have not been to a doctor since 1994. I keep my immune system stoked and I am never sick. I am 75 and have no arthritis or any medical condition. I have a complete CBC blood panel done every year and everything is always just fine. I am never sick, not even a cold. Maybe my Cherokee Indian genes are protecting me. I eat well and take my supplements daily. I never worried about needing a mask because I have never even had the flu. I do not take any vaccines, not since I was a kid in school. I wish more people could be as blessed as me. I believe in Dr. Mercola.

Although I appreciate scientific studies my mind starts to gloss over information if it is "too scientific". I understand wanting to explain the immune system to set the stage for immune support but if your target audience is the non-medical professional it will have to be simplified and brief. Perhaps two versions for medical and non-medical. The strengths for non-medical are the illustrations and the section called Vitamin D, Cytokine Storms and COVID-19 as well as the conclusion. The annotations are very impressive.

I've wondered how I could advocate for my own medical treatment if I were hospitalized with something like COVID-19. For example, I believe in high doses of Vitamins C & D and nebulizing hydrogen peroxide but under medical care could I request those forms of treatment? Hopefully I don't find out. Thank you for all your work.

I think that you should make it very clear in your first sentence and even more so throughout your report that you are speaking specifically of vitamin D3. Also, even though it's mentioned, I think it should also be very bold and clear that vitamin D3 needs to also be taken along with Magnesium, Calcium and K2-M7. I hope that helps a little. Thanks.

Thank you for the wonderful information. I would like to understand why this group of people is low in vitamin D. Is it due to environmental toxins or lack of healthy food or not enough time outside in the winter or stess?

Great document Dr Mercola. Thanks for doing this. However, it would have been great if the first page was a concise summary of the paper that could be forwarded to many people that just don't do long documents (yes, I know they could benefit from all the information, but just no chance).

So good and so important! I am so grateful for all your work over the years.Thank you.The article in it's density is important for the people who need to know the science. The (D deficient) and brain fried and elecro-hypersensitive may not have the concentration. So I agree that a short version And the full version be available.

Dear Dr. Mercola, I am a lay person & health enthusiast. I read a lot of your articles and learn a great deal and appreciate the time and energy you put into educating us all. I often get bogged down with too much detail. If I were to give this article to a family member, they wouldn't read it. This is great for a deep perspective, yet for getting the word out to the masses, it's too much. Others have suggested a 1 - 2 pg summary of the who, what and why's and I agree. I also would like to suggest linking to this (or similar edited) article for those who wish more in depth info. This in very important information that can save a lot of illness and suffering. Thank you. Thank you Thank you.

awesome you are making this effort. (1) I think make the first two pages in laymen's terms....point is to keep them interested long enough to get the point then encourage to keep reading for more details. keep it all in one document. Include a sentence or two about WHY people with more pigment may need more time in the sun to benefit. (3) include most people need only 20 min in the sun (with most skin exposure). This is to counteract the brainwashing that the sun is bad...ie. spend 20 min in full sun with as little clothing as possible then put your safe sunscreen and hats and clothing back on. you have oodles of good articles you could reference here. (4) consider a brief glossary of terms from the more scientific sections. (5) include why D3 not the D2 most docs prescribe. (6) move sections on covid 19 to beginning...at least before immune system sections. (7) include a reference/resource list for more reading, you have so many great articles that would augment this doc (8) tell about Vit D tests you can do at home? ie. grassrootshealth. alot of people wont go to doc just for vit D test or they are forced to do teledoc. (9) any way to include your great monthly UV index charts...or provide the source. but remember, many people who need this info dont have access to full websites or the time to look it up. the charts like in your calendar really tell the seasonality story at a glance and impresses why NOW is the time to get outside before the next wave.

FEEDBACK BELOW in the comment section? I see the stats & info in-between. I think it was all put together perfect. I loved the figures, really helped. I plan to keep it to remind me WHY vitamin D is so essential. I have it if someone needs to read it. The purpose of the report is to help us understand why it is so important to optimize your vitamin D level in order to have healthy immune functions. yes it did that. It provided us with a detailed strategy for how we can do it. I was Happy to see the mention of Mg (Magnesium) for us to achieve the important goal. Hopefully people will start bugging their health care providers for the test with their "routine" blood work. It should be put on standard tests. We should not be denied this important test. Slap the report to your care provider if they say no. If they again say no again, Fire them. THANK YOU DR. M FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT REPORT.
