"A suggestive set of numbers was published online in April by a medical scientist in the Philippines, Dr Mark Alipio. Of 49 patients with mild symptoms of Covid-19 in three hospitals in southern Asian countries, only two had low levels of vitamin D; of 104 patients with critical or severe symptoms, only four did not have low levels of vitamin D. The more severe the symptoms, the more likely a patient was to be not just low but deficient in the vitamin," The Telegraph report said. Pulmonologist Dr Roger Seheult of California, who has been treating coronavirus patients, shared his own daily regimen (which included vitamin D) last month: Vitamin D deficiency can cause a host of disorders including muscle and bone weakness but excessive amounts may also be harmful.
