Does anyone have any extra sun they might send us, or maybe a little rain. In Nine Mile Falls WA, we haven't seen the sun for a full week now. In fact, we haven't seen any stars or even the moon during the week either. I wonder if the CA/OR/WA fires are part of a conspiracy theory. And but I found out yesterday that Pint Canning Jars are not available right now, was told they are being held on a ship from China related to Covid virus. Another conspiracy thing? At least we have plenty of Toilet Paper. I guess we'll just have to freeze out tomatoes and apples for now and can them later.

I try and talk any teens out of a vegan diet that I see as it is not healthy esp relating to complete proteins choline and natural co q 10. I do recommend grass feed beef over grain and much seafood, pastured chicken and eggs and all the vegetables they can eat.

Just returned from grocery shopping with a mask required in the store. There was a lady who at times I met in different areas and she would stop on a dime and turn the other way. Those who are scaring the elderly with with constant overhead demands to wear masks, keep your distance and it all started with the lock down which has caused many suicides especially with teens several in this area, elderly are in great fear and keeping them to this day away from person to person contact even in the assisted living homes is keeping their spirit. People around here are strange where we always had a friendly community. Was this the goal? and by the way because I could not get out as often as I had done before being told to stay home, I started D...long before mention. I have a few health issues they mention but am still covid clean.

That is because "A" type blood individuals are better suited to a vegetarian diet, with some white meat mixed in. A type blood individuals are more prone to ole covid too! but EVERYONE needs vitamin D and the darker your skin...the harder it is to get from the sun.

Love those comments.

Also to note: when does the rioting/looting happen? Typically after dark. Maybe since the officials won't do anything to stop them they can at least encourage the rioters to do it during daytime so they can be a little healthier. ;) [/s]

Absolutely!...could be one of the many reasons the little bugger is still lurking around..."there ain't no sunshine when your gone"...indoors.

It's always a good idea to eat a healthy diet. What all should recognize is that we are all individuals with differing hormonal and other considerations so what works for one may not work for another. People should be engaged in monitoring their own health and working with a doctor (especially an endocrinologist) and a dietician if they feel they have special nutrition needs so that such needs may be properly identified and addressed. I see tons of hypochondriacs out there in the world professing one fad diet after another and look at them as the snake-oil salesmen of this day and age. (This coming from someone with a Type I Diabetic daughter, a son with Hashimoto's, a niece with Celiac's, and numerous aunts/uncles with hypoglycemia.)

Study, from Castillo Spain, showed-
'Vitamin D reduced the rate of ICU admission from 50% to 2%.

'The West spends billions looking for vaccines and new antivirals, but hasn’t even done the basic studies on cheap and easily available nutrients'
'people with very low vitamin D levels are 80% more likely to catch Covid.'
'Given that people with dark skin are more likely to be deficient in Vitamin D, wouldn’t studies like these be the best way to show that black lives actually matter? '

Yes, the benefits of sunlight (which has been known for millennia, and should be common knowledge, but is being neglected for the last century or so), and Vitamin D in particular, is coming out more and more. Learning about heliotherapy has been a hobby of mine for the last year or so.... Re: VitD, even Fauci has come out (quietly) recently making the connection to C19:

I understand that a vegetarian diet can be quite healthy and contain all essentials, but it would be wise to check.
A vegan diet will definitely lead to deficiencies.
Maybe a very carefully constructed vegan diet/menu can work, would take a dietician and much dedication. It would be safer for nominal vegans to top up with supplements- and not ask questions about ingredients.

Anyone who is avoiding natural sources of vitamins and minerals is going to have to get their source from something else or remain deficient and at risk.

I've seen several studies by dieticians who recommend AGAINST vegan diets for kids and teenagers because kids and teens need the fats and fatty acids in a normal, healthy diet for brain and bodily development. (I think forcing diet fads on your children is irresponsible parenting, personally.)

I wonder if the fact that children tend to drink vitamin d fortified milk has something to do with their resistance. Also, I wonder if the "vegan" kids are at greater risk especially if they avoid dairy products.

There was a review article from BMJ 2017 on Vit D that showed daily oral supplementation reduced all cause resp infections by 70%. Recently 2 computers programs , one from a supercomputer site and one from AI program also came up with Vit d as critical for fighting covid 19, The evidence is OVERWHELMING(>20 STUDIES)

Excellent, Blarman!
This in addition to the 15 year study that showed much lower morbidity from respiratory disease when Vitamin D levels are normal or higher, show that Vitamin D is crucial to fighting respiratory disease.

Yet another scientific study that the media and government public health agencies will ignore while forcing the public to take unproven vaccines.
