Studies show patients with hypocalcemia are more likely to require high oxygen supportenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP1 (Debug Build: 31106.3070)https://blogs.mercola.com:443/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2021/04/03/covid-patients-with-hypocalcemia-twice-as-likely-to-be-admitted-to-icu.aspx?ShowAllComments=True#10728684/3/2021 5:00:34 AM24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:1072868Almond<p>It appears that covid is largely a disease of malnutrition (suboptimal nutrition).  If not already in short supply, it depletes the body of vitamins D3/K2, zinc, magnesium, and calcium.  These are cofactors for each other. That would tend to indicate the disruption of pathways that rely on having adequate amounts.  Chemically-speaking, this likely involves a shortage of &quot;buffering&quot; nutrients which would also enhance inflammatory processes. &nbsp;</p> <p>This is prob also one of the reasons why so many of my friends remain healthy, not even experiencing annual colds or flu.</p> <p>I just saw something in the news about researchers &quot;discovering&quot; that sunshine sterilizes germs on surfaces. &nbsp;I wonder how much that research cost?</p> <p>It may be less about exposures and more about how you live.</p>
