Few of the currently widely-used vaccines would genuinely be worth the trouble if everyone supplemented vitamin D3 sufficiently to attain, in general, at least 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (made in the liver from vitamin D3 cholecalciferol). This is what the immune system needs to deliver full-strength innate and adaptive responses to bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens and to greatly reduce the risk of wildly-dysregulated hyper-inflammatory inflammation - indiscriminate cell destruction. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D is not a hormone. It does not regulate anything. The 50 ng/mL level enables enough 25-hydroxyvitamin D to diffuse into immune (and other) cells so that each cell's vitamin D based intracrine (inside the cell) and paracrine (to nearby cells) signaling systems can work properly. These signaling systems are only turned on in specific circumstances. When they work properly, they change cellular behaviour, in response to the cell's changing circumstances. The condition to activate the signaling cascade differs from one cell type to the next, as does the dozens or hundreds of up- and down-regulated genes which alter the cell's behavior.
For 70 kg 154 lb body-weight, to attain this proper 50 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D level, 0.125 mg 5000 IU vitamin D3 a day is required. Please see Prof. Sunil Wimalawansa's recent article "Rapidly Increasing Serum 25(OH)D Boosts the Immune System, against Infections - Sepsis and COVID-19" https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/14/2997 and the research articles cited at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ , starting with the first graph there, from Quraishi et al. 2014: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/1782085 which shows post-operative infections rising dramatically in proportion to how far below 50 ng/mL the patient's pre-operative 25-hydroxyvitamin D was.
Without such proper supplementation, which is more than most doctors think necessary, or even safe, many people's 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are between 5 and 25 ng/mL, which entails risk of both hospital-acquired and surgical site infections of 45% to 18% respectively, while all those with 50 ng/mL or more 25-hydroxyvitamin D had risks of 2.5%
But where would be profit or priestly glory in that?
Instead most doctors pretend to think of themselves as akin to priests, injecting a tiny concoctions made by angels in distant, very high-tech, laboratories, to (supposedly) protect each individual and elevate them to a class of cleanliness, distinct from the unclean masses not so blessed.
Most people and doctors think that influenza vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalisation and death. However, simple, very solid, research in England and Wales, shows that for 65 year olds, whose rate of vaccination more than doubles from age 64 to 66 due to a government campaign, there is no detectable decrease in the rate of hospitalisation or death from influenza or other respiratory diseases, which increases steadily with age: https://nutritionmatters.substack.com/p/influenza-vaccines-do-not-reduce
Vaccines - and both the public and medical professional's unrealistic beliefs about them - very often *are* the problem. Vaccines are given instead of recommendations and support for proper nutrition and/or early treatment. This is the crime against humanity of the COVID-19 responses, but we can see that this obsession with vaccines to the exclusion of better, less glamorous, less pseudo-sophisticated approaches, has a long history.
As I learned in the beginning of my natural healing career over 52 years ago, the current line of demarcation started with the difference between Louis Pasteur v. Antonine BeChamp. From that understanding, I came to say, "There isn't anything mankind can do that our Creator through Nature has not already done. Never underestimate the power of either." It is so refreshing to read from medical professionals, including allopathic medical doctors, expressing the wisdom of nature.
I hope and pray this trend of going back to the future using natural healing and natural medicine continues. - Dr. James Chappell
Thank you for this information Dr. Stillwagon. I'm wondering if you know about a theory that multiple smallpox shots could cure herpes? Back in the late 70s or early 80s my then GP said there was a chance that herpes could be cured by a smallpox shot once a month for 12 months. I dutifully succumbed. The herpes was not 'cured' and I wonder what damage was done to my body by repeated shots. It was shortly after that time that I began questioning allopathic medicine and, wherever possible, used natural healing techniques.
Anyone who ever grew up in a neighborhood run by the Mob understands how the big lie works. when the big loe runs through generations it is no longer a big lie but an uncomfortable but agreed upon "truth".

Hi Dr Stillwagon, do you think any vaccine available today is worth the risk? If you had a newborn today, how would you do it?
