Vitamin D Deficiency and COVID-19

“For weeks and weeks people from ethnic minority communities have been wanting to know how they can better protect themselves from coronavirus.” [BBC News June 13th 2020] We believe that during Covid-19, ethnic minority communities in the UK, the USA and elsewhere, and all others vulnerable to seasonal Vitamin D deficiency, have been seriously let down by politicians and medical-scientific officialdom. As a result they have been needlessly deprived of extensive biological knowledge that would have protected them against disease and death from a novel virus, for which adequate levels of Vitamin D are essential.

The Vitamin D Solution

The Vitamin D Solution sets a new standard in health and wellness that will change the face of medicine as we know it. This indispensable guide helps you understand why vitamin D is so critical to your overall health, and shows how you can harness its rewards through a three-part prescription that anyone can follow.

The message of The Vitamin D Solution is simple yet profound: just as we require a little fat and salt for survival, we need the sun in moderation, too - for sun exposure is our best source of Vitamin D. There is really no substantiated scientific evidence to suggest that moderate sun exposure significantly increases risks of benign cancers or, and more importantly, the most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma.

Correcting The Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic

Strategies to Fight Disease and Prolong Life for Black People

Vitamin D deficiency is a global epidemic. More than 50 per cent of the global population is at risk for developing vitamin D deficiency and dark-skinned people are at great risk. A recent US national survey taken over a 10 year period showed that 97 per cent of blacks were deficient in vitamin D. Subgroups within the black population are at even greater risks.

Some of the most common symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are aches and pains all over the body, bone pain and muscle weakness. The pain may be worse when the deficiency is severe. People may not even be aware that they are deficient in vitamin D, but usually find out about the deficiency after experiencing serious health problems.


Zoltan Rona, MD, MSc
Vitamin D - The Sunshine Vitamin

Sun phobia, a condition imposed on the population by sun-paranoid dermatologists, sunscreens, and spending too much time indoors due to the fear of aging from sun damage have all contributed to the problem of vitamin D insufficiency.

Physician Zoltan Rona explains why the sun is still the best source of this vitamin, the role vitamin D plays in disease prevention and the restoration of health and why the recommended doesage of vitamin D is increasing.


Sarfraz Zaidi, MD
Power of Vitamin D

Recent ground breaking research clearly demonstrates a wide range of incredible health benefits Vitamin D may provide, yet most people continue to be low in vitamin D despite the vitamins they take, the foods they eat, the milk they drink or the sun exposure they get.

Here's the plain truth. Most physicians don't have adequate knowledge about vitamin D deficiency and its serious consequences. What little they do know about vitamin D deficiency is based on outdated and inaccurate information.

I was surprised to find that most people required about five to ten times the recommended dose to achieve a good level of vitamin D.

The UV Advantage

According to Dr Michael Holick of the Boston University School of Medicine and America's leading expert on Vitamin D, the scare tactics of international health leaders about the potential hazards of sun exposure have gone too far. Their exaggerated warnings about the sun's harmful effects have led to public misconceptions that is threatening our overall health. As a result, we in the midst of a 'silent epidemic' of vitamin D deficiency in the West that has widespread repercussions. With the UV Advantage, Dr Holick is the first highly credentialed doctor to author a book that proclaims the clinically demonstrated benefits of sensible sun exposure on bone, cellular, organ, autoimmune and mood-related health.
