OT: Everything COVID19 - PART 7

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

imagine needing scientists to tell you that the sun is good for you

lol amazing

Who determined that the sun provided vitamin D?

Not to mention, Vitamin D supplements (invented by science) allow you to gain the positive benefit in a climate that has limited sunlight.

Stupid scientists with their science.

Did you know Tomato Ketchup was once used as Medicine?
Yes, that’s right, tomato ketchup was once believed to have medicinal properties and was used as a form of medication to cure diarrhoea, indigestion, rheumatism and jaundice. In 1834, Dr John Cooke Bennett added tomatoes to ketchup and claimed that it could cure the above-mentioned diseases. This led to a 15-year-period during which tomato sauce and other related products were sold as a form of medication.

Yay science

Great, and Coca-Cola had cocaine in it.

So?

You think life expectancy increases across the board are the result of a remarkable coincidence where everyone spontaneously became healthier over time?

Another example of science failing short term
Good job

Short-term?

It was in Coca-Cola for 44 years.

Guess you'd better move out to your cave and live off the land.

Who knows what those Vitamin D supplements you are popping might do?

it took science 44 years to figure out cocaine
Science does not do so good without long term studies

Yeah, you really are foolish for taking Vitamin D and magnesium.

Or just a hypocrite. Take your pick.

long term studies were done on the products I take
Research you know

Do you even realize that Vitamin D was only isolated and discovered in 1932, and that its chemical function was only really understood in 1975?

History of the discovery of vitamin D and its active metabolites

Supplements are made from the fat of lambs' wool. You are literally injecting yourself with foreign animal material.

I don't know about you, but that sounds like a lot of faith in something that comes from another living creature.

I’ve researched people who have died taking vitamin D supplements... could you point me to some articles on deaths?

I could not find anything when I’ve looked in the past, but maybe you do?

Vitamin D toxicity is called hypervitaminosis D.

Supplement use can lead to elevated levels of “free” vitamin D in the body, which may travel inside cells and overwhelm the signalling processes affected by vitamin D.

One of the main signalling processes has to do with increasing the absorption of calcium from the digestive system, as a result, the main symptom of vitamin D toxicity is hypercalcemia – elevated levels of calcium in the blood.

High calcium levels can cause various symptoms, and the calcium can also bind to other tissues and damage them leading to kidney failure and other lethal consequences.

Better stop taking them friend. Your trust in science is going to cost you.

Vitamin D Toxicity–A Clinical Perspective

I thought you didn't believe in science anyway?

How can you trust your own research?

Oh I get it, you pick and choose what you want to believe to support whatever behaviour you want to do anyway.

Makes sense.

If you take to much of anything your going to get sicko


Drank too much water, woman dies

guess water is bad now

Hey, it took them 44 years to figure out cocaine in Coca-Cola.

How do you know if the doses of Vitamin D you are taking are safe?

I can't believe you trust a bunch of scientists.

My favourite is the printing kiosk at the center of mall with plexiglass around it so the person inside does not have to wear a mask... because you know covid can’t go over it

 

[Sens]

I’m also a fan of when I go grocery shopping and follow arrows ... hoards of people not giving a f***... all ages to... elderly are probably the worst to be honest

Speaking of vitamin D, how much is too much? I buy a generic D3, 1000iu which recommends 1 tablet per day, however I was told by a close relative that their doctor said humans need something like 30,000-40,000iu per week, so like 4-5 tablets a day?

I noticed over the past years that my immune system was fairly weak during winter so I am in a "trial" of over dosing on vitamin D to see if it helps. I take about 3 a day.

in the summer I take one a day but I’m out n the sun a lot
I do more in the winter for sure... 2-4 a day depending on sun intake

A post from the Canada covid threat on the main board

In Ontario, currently in a region under lockdown. When you take a walk mid-day (not rush hour) you will see hundreds of cars on what should be abandoned city streets - no, not delivery trucks etc. In schools, through a friend group, 20-30% of their kids fellow students are now taking this week and next week off school. Why? so that they can have 2 weeks off, without outside contact before Christmas. This is so that Gramma, Grampa and the family can get together safely - which is noble, yet again against the rules set out by the Government.

I'm not anti-lockdown, in fact I'm pro-lockdown. But this is not a lockdown. People are out and about more than ever and as such, for those few who are not bending these rules, it's becoming very tiresome.

im not the only person seeing people not caring anymore

 

[GCK]

So I went grocery shopping and the cashier was not wearing a mask

I ask her

“I had Covid in the summer so I don’t need to wear a mask anymore”

Is this true... if I go get the Covids, after it passes I don’t need a mask?

Not true

Worldwide recommendations vary between 600iu to 2000iu. The tolerable upper limit (minimal risk of toxicity) is 4000iu, unless you have a diagnosed condition that causes malabsorption. Toxicity from fad diets is real and dangerous. It would more appropriately be called a hormone instead of a vitamin and like anything, has positive and negative effects on the body.

lots of medicines we take today contain opium. No real difference.
