My level of Vitamin D is 47 and my wife's is 60.6. We are fine so far. I had contacted staff at Dr. Oz's studio to let them know that Covid patients should have their Vit D level tested over a month ago. They said Thank You and they would pass it on to him. Two days later he was speaking to Dr Tom Freiden former CDC director and asked him if Vit D would help now and when he was in charge with H1N1 and Dr. Freiden said it would not hurt at 1,000-2,000 iu's per day. Still to low but better than the FDA of 600-800/day. I suggested 50,000 iu's D3 given daily by IV for most patients especially those who are critical.

Along with that their zinc levels plus probiotics/Vit C should be at optimum levels.I also contacted Oprah's staff but no response. Optimum levels of nutrients may be the difference between asymptomatic/mild cases and severe as is the case for many African Americans who are severely low in Vitamin D to begin with. I also suggested that HCT or thiazide diuretics deplete the body of nutrients and that may be the common factor in African Americans since it is very inexpensive and widely used. I hate to say this but if all prescription medications disappeared overnight what could doctors do to treat patients. Not much! Holistic/allopathic/etc physicians would have an arsenal of natural remedies to treat most if not all diseases. Doctors need to learn nutrition because most medicines treat symptoms not the cause but essential nutrients can cure.
