I do not think you would find these in a CHOP zone. It is capitalism, the invisible hand, and the free markets that make these fragrant beauties available to the market to purchase for private use and enjoyment.

I am thankful to be enjoying these today. My life is still many times better than it was for my parents. I remember the stories my mother told us when she was a young girl living through the Korean War when the foreigners bombed Korea to oblivion. She had to hide in underground holes to avoid the planes that came with bombs. There was barely any food. Let us not go back to those times, but move forward with abundance, freedom, and the right to work to help others as our abilities allow without undue burden. Here I am, sitting in the sun enjoying these. Thankful and blessed. Happy 4th.

Vitamin D is an important component in the prevention and treatment of influenza23 and upper respiratory tract infections.24 While vitamin D does not appear to have a direct effect on the virus itself, it strengthens immune function, thus allowing the host body to combat the virus more effectively.25
As detailed in “Vitamin D Prevents Infections,” research shows high-dose vitamin D supplementation lowers the risk of respiratory illnesses and lung infections in the elderly by 40%. As noted by an author of that study, “Vitamin D can improve the immune system’s ability to fight infections because it bolsters the first line of defense of the immune system.”
As mentioned earlier, vitamin D also suppresses inflammatory processes and inhibits excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines that give rise to a cytokine storm.26 Taken together, this might make vitamin D quite useful against COVID-19, because while robust immune function is required for your body to combat the virus, an overactivated immune system is also responsible for the cytokine storm we see in COVID-19 infection that can lead to death.
Vitamin D upregulates production of human cathelicidin, LL-37, which has antimicrobial and antiendotoxin activities.27
Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to protect against acute respiratory infections.28 Daily or weekly supplementation (opposed to infrequent bolus doses) of vitamin D had the greatest protective effect in those with the lowest vitamin D levels.29
In one study,30 those with severe vitamin D deficiency who took a daily or weekly supplement cut their respiratory infection risk in half, whereas the acute administration of high bolus doses of vitamin D had no significant impact on infection risk.
Data analysis31 by GrassrootsHealth shows people with a vitamin D level of at least 40 ng/mL reduced their risk of colds by 15% and flu by 41%, compared to those with a level below 20 ng/mL.

In a study34 that looked at data from 780 COVID-19 patients in Indonesia, those with a vitamin D level between 20 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL had a sevenfold higher risk of death than those with a level above 30 ng/mL. Having a level below 20 ng/mL was associated with a 12 times higher risk of death.
Research35,36 posted on the preprint server MedRxiv June 10, 2020, reports a combination of vitamin D3, B12 and magnesium inhibited the progression of COVID-19 in patients over the age of 50, resulting in “a significant reduction in proportion of patients with clinical deterioration requiring oxygen support and/or intensive care support.”
“The Role of Vitamin D in the Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Infection and Mortality”37 — which looked at the average vitamin D levels and the number of COVID-19 cases and death rates in 20 European countries — found lower vitamin D levels correlated with higher caseloads and mortality. The authors concluded, “We believe that we can advise vitamin D supplementation to protect against SARS-CoV2 infection.”
Northwestern University researchers report finding an inverse relationship between vitamin D and CRP, a marker for inflammation. Those with higher CRP had lower vitamin D and vice versa. According to the authors:38
“COVID-19 patient-level data shows a notable OR of 3.4 … for high CRP in severe COVID-19 patients.

The best way to avoid the doctor is to literally eat an apple every day. An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Organic, of course.

Stay in a positive frame of mind, having gratitude always.

Shore up your immune system with positivity, gratitude, plenty of Vitamins, especially D and C. And a bunch of the other good stuff that I have already written a lot about…magnesium, baking soda, selenium, zinc, monolaurin, glutathione, medicinal mushrooms, plenty of greens, and rest too.

Organic, grass-fed, wild, pesticide- and drug-free.

“So, get a t-shirt that says Black Lives Matter and say you are protesting and you can go out without a mask because CNN has confirmed as along as you protest, you will not get the virus.” – Martin Armstrong

Exactly. You are not a risk only for BLM, but if you protest for anything else, you are a rogue individual and arrest you.

Anyone remember this mom who got arrested for letting her kids play at the park?

but CHAZ was ok?

Marty, you predicted all of this mess, but what is the solution? or is this just a freight train that you cannot avoid? is there no where safe to go? Not everyone wants to live on a beach in St. Pete. I for one, prefer a garden or a farm. Is there anywhere else good to live? Texas? or do you advise leaving the U.S.? 13 years from 9/11/2001 was big bang, that was a pi cycle. Another 13 years makes about 2028. what happens then?
