										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My chiropractor was the first approved for the US Olympic team in 1984 and a two-time Olympic team member. He is well respected and believes there is a possibility that vitamin D could help alleviate coronavirus. There is good research about COVID-19 and ACE2 receptors in the lungs and heart. Apparently coronavirus (almost all respirator viruses) have to attach to these receptors to be able to enter the cells. Vitamin D could aid in blocking these receptors and preventing the virus from entering and infecting the cells.</p>
<p>The circumstantial clinical evidence that favors this theory is as follows:<br />
1- The average blood vitamin D level in children is 75 while in adults it is about 30. This might explain why children are more immune to coronavirus than adults. Also, children with low level of vitamin D are more susceptible to cold, flu and asthma than other children in general.</p>
<p>2- Studies in nursing homes point out that the folks with high dose of vitamin D (3000 to 6000) intake are less susceptible to cold than those who do not take it.</p>
<p>3- Due to fear of osteoporosis and osteopenia, more woman are taking more vitamin D supplements than men, is this may be the reason why woman are less prone to coronavirus than men. And even when they get it, symptoms tend to be less severe &#8212; in some cases the wife was healthy while the husband was hospitalized.</p>
<p>4- In warmer and tropical areas there is more sun and so more natural vitamin D is made by the body (virus life is also shorter in sunny and warmer areas) .</p>
<p>It is understandable that many other factors are involved, but the vitamin D factor should be researched and studied. It is easy, fast and inexpensive and can be done by asking the patients when the coronavirus test is being performed if they are taking vitamin D. Also, taking the vitamin D blood level of each patient infected with coronavirus and comparing its level to the severity of the patient&#8217;s symptoms. So taking extra vitamin D might add protection from the virus and should be studied further.</p>
