Nitric Oxide’s Role In Anti-Adhesion And Anti-Coagulation.

13 December 2021

Background. SARS-CoV-2’s Achilles’ heel has always been vitamin D in general and nitric oxide in particular. We first explained the relevance of vitamin D in July 2020, identifying the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 mortality rates and the key role of exposure to photosynthesis of vitamin D from exposure to UVB that occurs […]

Cathelicidin – Another Key Benefit Of Vitamin D.

29 October 2021

Background. It is impossible to ignore the pivotal role of vitamin D both in preventing SARS-CoV-2 viral infection (through the eNOS→nitric oxide pathway) and in reducing COVID-19 disease severity (through the cholecalciferol→ calcifediol→calcitriol pathway). As early as July 2020 we had identified the positive correlation between COVID-19 mortality rate and vitamin D deficiency. By October […]

Why Is Nitric Oxide’s Key Role Ignored?

28 July 2021

Role In The Innate Immune Response. It is a year since we first identified the significance of vitamin D in respect of SARS-CoV-2. Through the vitamin D pathways it can both prevent viral infection and attenuate disease progression and severity. Yet the role of vitamin D-modulated nitric oxide remains largely ignored and dismissed by the NHS as […]
