The Rotterdam Study is a prospective cohort study ongoing since 1990 in the city of Rotterdam in The Netherlands that examined markers of aging as the population began to age. It targeted cardiovascular, endocrine, hepatic, neurological, ophthalmic, psychiatric, dermatological, otolaryngological, locomotor, and respiratory diseases.
What the Rotterdam Study found was an inverse association between dairy intake and hypertension, meaning that the more cheese, butter, and milk products that you consumed, your risk of hypertension was lowered. Not bad.
Risk of hypertension after 2 y of follow-up (664 incident cases) was inversely associated with dairy product intake. After adjustment for confounders, HRs (95% CIs) were 1.00, 0.82 (0.67, 1.02), 0.67 (0.54, 0.84), and 0.76 (0.61, 0.95) in consecutive quartiles of total dairy product intake (Pfor trend = 0.008). Corresponding HRs for low-fat dairy products were 1.00, 0.75 (0.60, 0.92), 0.77 (0.63, 0.96), and 0.69 (0.56, 0.86) (Pfor trend = 0.003). Analysis of specific types of dairy products showed an inverse association with milk and milk products (Pfor trend = 0.07) and no association with high-fat dairy or cheese (P> 0.6). After 6 y of follow-up (984 incident cases), the associations with hypertension were attenuated to risk reductions of ≈20% for both total and low-fat dairy products between the extreme quartiles of intake (Pfor trend = 0.07 and 0.09, respectively).
And the conclusion is pretty clear:
Conclusion: Intake of low-fat dairy products may contribute to the prevention of hypertension at an older age.
Once they have a virus, take 50 milligrams [of zinc] two times a day for one week and that hits the virus on the head within hours.
As the first line of defense, we should be dealing with people's immune systems in the safest way possible.
8:05 How much vitamin D? 50 to 100 grams/milliliter. 4,000IUs, but he did mention that people can do 50,000IUs a day for 6 months without any adverse effects.
10:40 25 milligrams of zinc is extremely safe; you can take up to 40mg a day without any ill effects in most adults. You go above that and you reduce the absorption of copper. How much zinc? 50mg
11:05 You asked me about vitamin D. 4,000 units. But people who are overweight need up to or over 8,000 to 10,000 units or more per day.
How much vitamin K2? 200mgs per day, every day. Because vitamin D does cause the release of calcium from the bones into the blood and you want to try to avoid any deposition of that in the wrong places.
To fight infections like COVID, you'd want to have levels of vitamin D above 50 grams. With each higher dose of vitamin D, it triggers the protein and genetic pathways that people need to do better.
Virtually every cell in your body has vitamin D receptors. Therefore, . . . take your vitamin D. Your body is waiting, hungering to feel better. A lot of vitamin D's functions are immunomodulatory that actually directs the immune system to work in a better way. If you combine vitamin D with zinc, which has significant effects on viral infections, boosts the cells' ability to kill viruses, including cancer.
Get enough sleep. Get outside, get some sun. Engage in sports. It's very much about looking after yourself.
15:30 If you want the derided compound, Hydroxychloroquine to work, it works in combination with zinc. It seems that that makes the difference. You don't want a zinc deficiency. Studies have shown that zinc does improve the immune response to viral infections. And, I can say anecdotally, that I use it on a daily basis [as a physician] for viral infections. Once they have a virus, take 50 milligrams two times a day for one week, and that hits the virus on the head within hours.
Cytotoxic lymphocytes need zinc to function properly. Without Cytotoxic Lymphocytes, what viral infection--it's going to run right over you.
Whereas zinc works straight away on a virus, vitamin D needs to be metabolized. What does that mean? You need at least a few days beforehand to get into your system, therefore, I just tell people to take it constantly. You want to take it for at least a few weeks beforehand, seeing as you don't know when you're going to get CVID, you could get COVID twice easily. If you wait until you actually get the virus, it's already too late. Even people who've received high doses after they get the virus--they've done studies with 50,000, 200,000 units of vitamin D given as a shot at the time of admission to the hospital, it probably does have some immunomodulatory effect but it takes time to kick in. It takes a few days, by which stage the person could be a lot farther down the illness with COVID. They could be onto a much later stage of COVID whereby they're already ventilated. And the whole idea of this is to prevent that.
Yes, we know it has to be metabolized by the liver and it has to be metabolized by the kidneys. I can remember patients with renal failure, for example, who couldn't metabolize their vitamin D.
After metabolism, you've got to make sure it has its effects on the genetics of the body, on the immune system, and that presumably takes longer.
High doses of vitamin
D.
He neglects to mention it
but for D to be absorbable, you must take magnesium. That means you must
take magnesium with vitamin D.
