nursing homes in focus; Front Page, Solveig Haw: Vitamin D Deficiency Often Goes Undetected; Life – Medicine November 30th
Long Covid, vitamin D deficiency, corona in nursing staff:
A connection between these topics really jumps out at you: around 80% of Germans, including children and adolescents, have a vitamin D deficiency. Unfortunately, in our latitudes, you cannot compensate for this with winter sun and nutrition, as recommended by Ms. Haw, but it increases in winter. A vitamin D value of 50 ng/ml ensures bone health (osteoporosis) and studies show that this also strengthens the immune system and protects once morest severe Covid-19 progression. Practically all cancer and multiple sclerosis patients suffer from severe vitamin D deficiency and this is increasingly being taken into account by conventional medicine. It is best to have the vitamin D level in the blood determined and, if necessary, sublimated by the doctor with the appropriate dosage. If over-the-counter preparations from the pharmacy are used as intended, an overdose is practically impossible and a supplement makes sense, especially in winter. It would be interesting for me whether the vitamin status is generally taken into account in the treatment of Long Covid patients. And one question remains: following the introduction of the facility-related compulsory vaccination, are the nursing staff who fell ill in large numbers really proof of the good effectiveness and tolerability of the corona vaccination? Many scientists who have been muzzled under public law have warned of precisely this and the virus variants that are emerging more and more quickly.
