The Vitamin D Hammer Protocol
From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4463890/ (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4463890/):
“A colleague of mine and I have introduced vitamin D at doses that have achieved greater than 100 nmol/L in most of our patients for the past number of years, and we now see very few patients in our clinics with the flu or influenzalike illness. In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with the vitamin D hammer, as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50 000 IU dose of vitamin D3 or 10 000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.8 We urgently need a study of this intervention. The cost of vitamin D is about a penny for 1000 IU, so this treatment costs less than a dollar.”

Not to besmirch the study but I’ve been taking 50,000 IU a week for years and I got a 3 week flu. I must have been one of the outliers.

Whoever this guy is, Linus Pauling beat him to it by about 3 decades.

Wasn’t Pauling the Vitamin C guy?

Wasn’t Pauling the Vitamin C guy?
Yes. I don't know how this relates to Pauling other than mass quantities of a vitamin.

There were a whole lot of researchers in late 19th and early and mid 20th century who were on to safe, effective non-synthetic treatments for common afflictions that were later debunked by mainstream medicine and replaced with synthetic pharmaceuticals. For example, treating hypothyroidism with animal thyroid gland tissue, treating post menopausal symptoms with bioidentical hormones instead of horse urine, treating seizure disorders with ketogenic diet, treating celiac disease with gluten free diet before gluten was positively identified as the culprit, treating late onset diabetes with low carb diet, and on and on and on.
Some of these pioneers were debunked because they had ties to Germany, after the world wars stigmatized the Germans, and some went out of favor when drugs were developed by profit seeking pharmaceutical companies, such as synthetic thyroid, and some were marginalized by a government/industry structure pushing wheat and corn mega farming and promoting the food pyramid with a huge giant base of gluten containing simply carbohydrates.
Only now is there a re-emergence of some of this lost knowledge and the rise of an alternative medicine industry to fill a vacuum that mainstream medicine has created by becoming too ossified, self-interested and bureaucratic.

Pauling claimed that megadoses of vitamins could cure all kinds of diseases up to and including cancer. I heard him debunk his debunkers, he made sense too. The debunkers won in the end, a shame, he was a seriously bright guy. Still the only man to get Nobel prizes both for peace and medicine.
