As result it was my initial pick to balance the 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 I started on years ago. The two vitamins work together in a number of reaction chains in the body. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was surprised when the vitamin D3 alone didn’t make much of an improvement in my immune strength, while it did a number of other improvements. After reading about vitamin A I started dosing cod liver oil which gave me an immediate gradual improvement in sore back muscles I had from running. I eventually took up to four doses of cod liver oil totaling 16,000 IU of Retinol for best improvement in those muscles. An added success is my eye minimum focus distance was reduced by nearly half along with skin improvement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Months later I noted that the number of colds and viruses I got during the year was reduced by 75%. Colds are Corona viruses. So while vitamin D3 is very effective in fighting Corona virus and reducing its severity, I much suspect that including Retinol vitamin A would provide an added boost to the immune system ability to fight off the Covid virus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There seems to be no definitive research on the optimal ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D3 although some nutritionists have estimated the proportion. What appears to work best for me is three IU of Retinol to each IU of vitamin D3. I hope others will develope their own best estimate of the optimal ratio for A and D3.&lt;/p&gt;

Bullshit is the only health advise the state aparatik&amp;#39; has to offer, and their advice is pathological and dishonest. The BBC is probably one of the worst offenders. I&amp;#39;ll not be surprised to see those people lynched in short order.&lt;/p&gt;
