From the mentioned list, latest research (5 independent double-blinded studies) suggests that Ivermectin really has antiviral properties against SARS-COV-2 (in vivo of course).
What has been also suggested to have been neglected is role of Zinc in COVID-19 treatment.
Btw usual dosage I have taken Vitamin D has been 25000 U.I. (625 μg) once in a week but I have also taken 100000 U.I. (2500 μg if I understand the conversion correctly) dosages when my Vitamin D level has been very low. All prescribed by my doctor. You have to consult yours before you start taking anything in large dosages.
The conclusion appears to be right. Anti-vaxxer and anti-mask people tend to have considerable overlap. Many of them also believe in some PCR tests related conspiracy.
- tcoff91 6y agoI think you probably mean IU not mg
- amelius 6y agoYes. Can somebody explain why IU units are being used for vitamin D and why they are to be preferred over standard units like mg and mcg?
- sokoloff 6y agoOr mcg (microgram, 40 IU) at the very outside.
- nojokes 6y agoYou are right. I remembered that it was mg. I edited my post and did the conversion according to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_unit Vitamin D: The biological activity of 40 IU is equal to 1 μg[9]
- hivacruz 6y agoIsn't it better to take Vitamin D pills every day as a cure in winter for example instead of big boost with 100 000 UI? I don't recall exactly where I read this but I remember that the level of Vitamin D quickly decrease after this kind of takes. In my case, I try to eat lunch with the sun on me for at least 15 minutes and I take a 5mg pill when I can't. I don't know if it's enough.
- subsubzero 6y agoI think so: >Isn't it better to take Vitamin D pills every day as a cure in winter for example instead of big boost with 100 000 UI? That large dose is often referred to a vitamin D "hammer" and I have heard of them trying those doses with newly arrived covid patients to an ER. Unsure of how effective they were.
