Would you even take the vaccine if it comes out before December?

[pgardn]

The medcram YouTube channel is excellent, IMO.

Of course.
Because it touted the anti malarial so it’s tops...

[DarrinS]

Raises blood levels fast, which is why it's a prescription.

You just claimed it was the same thing. That was wrong. You're welcome.

No

He on HCQ, so ....

[pgardn]

You seem angry. Watch some of their videos. They aren't political.

They are by ONE doctor out of thousands that treat Covid who don’t have time to make you tubes on the side. He should be a busy man right now making vids for medical students on sleep studies as well.

Channel was recommended by my sister, a doctor

Perhaps, he changed his opinion?

[ElNono]

No

Yes you did...

No difference, except Calcifediol raises D levels faster.

What does 'no difference' means? And it's more than just 'raises D levels faster'.

Im glad he changed his mind apparently?

Just carry a protest sign. Prevents Covid, tbh.

Calcifediol is NOT Vitamind D, it's a Vitamin D3 analog. It's actually a prehormone, what your body produces once the liver processed regular Vitamin D3.

It has side effects that regular Vitamin D3 doesn't have, as already explained, thus why it's a prescription medicine.

You actually CAN overdose on Calcifediol (which include hypercalcemia, renal and cardiac failure on severe overdoses), something you can't do on Vitamin D3.

This is why it's important to be informed about these things.

I strongly disagree with the bolded - if I go to Amazon and buy any of the (mostly) vitamin D3 (some are 50,000IU PER pill) on there and take a lot or daily, I definitely run the risk of hypercalcemia.

It's not what form of vitamin d that you take - it's the body specifically the kidneys that change them into what's useable by the body (different according to the person) - some people do it efficiently and some (those with autoimmune issues) don't. Taking up to 10,000IU daily is generally considered "safe" meaning you don't have to do tests (PTH, calcium in urine, ionized and blood calcium) to check for hypercalcemia (too much calcium in blood) or worry about risk of kidney stones - just monitor vitamin D level a few months after that it's in range.

but if trump said the cure was in his you'd be the first one on your knees

lol thinking igaf what trump says... this is why you're a straight up weebs.

[ChumpDumper]

Ignorance can cause deaths too, you have to look no further than the POTUS on that. I'm doing a public service.

Clearly nobody in their sane mind will ask for medical advice (or should) from pseudo doctors Darrin or rmt when it comes to COVID.

The ST doctors giving out the most medical advice here are the ones who were careless enough or had bad enough hygiene to have COVID themselves or in their homes way early in the pandemic.

that's a good point, the people in this forum who said they or their household has had COVID-19 are all conservatives.

It's pretty annoying that we'd be completely done with this pandemic if conservatives just played by the rules and didn't turn everything into a political issue. Jokes on them since Trump would be coasting to a re-election if the pandemic were already over.

LOL - talk about doing exactly what you're accusing Darrin of doing. What you have said could possibly kill someone - what Darrin suggested 2000IU of vitamin D and low dose aspirin wouldn't hurt anyone - healthy or with Covid.

How am I doing exactly the same thing?

And I pointed out that not being deficient on Vitamin D is a good thing COVID or not, so we completely agree on that.

The issue I took, which I clearly spelled out a number of times already, is the claim that taking over the counter Vitamin D somehow will prevent you from having COVID's most nefarious symptoms.

I firmly believe we will have medicines that alleviate symptoms.
Patience.

And a vaccine.

I understand the need to feel like a “miracle” has occurred before November 2020

I was referring to your statements - particularly the one that you can't "overdose"/get hypercalcemia from taking too much Vitamin D3 and following that one about being informed.

I admit to wording that poorly, but you simply will not get renal and/or cardiac failure on severe overdoses of over the counter Vitamin D3.

That's being informed, and the difference between a prescription drug like Calcifediol and over the counter vitamins.

Hopefully it's more clear to you now.

[Death In June]

You can take 50K units of vitamin D2, D3 or any variant thereof daily without having issues. The ceiling of taking vitamin D by itself before you encounter issues is sky high. It might be the most benign drug there is. Using it as a tool to treat COVID symptoms is silly though. Theres an association with deficiency and worsening symptoms but your obese populations tend to be your deficient populations, so there is a huge confounding variable there.

Only a complete idiot would take a vaccine nicknamed warp speed

Btw the closest western vaccine so far is being developed by the same company that gave us the swine flu vaccine

[Will Hunting]

this reminds me of the Netflix do entaries that say high doses of Vitamin C cure cancer
