Why SARS-CoV-2 Deaths Are 4-16 Times Lower Than Flu.

20 March 2022

Beware Conflicted Studies. Last week an article was published in The Lancet that estimates COVID-19 excess deaths. As is generally the case when it comes to ‘official’ studies or reports – those attempting to reflect or reinforce the official narrative – it is written in the conditional mood. It is therefore the language of ‘could‘, […]

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 […]

COVID-19: The Western Diet Disease.

14 July 2021

The Poorer The Country, The Lower The Mortality Rate. This is the first pandemic in history where ‘poorer’ countries fare better, usually far better, then ‘richer’ ones. The more developed the country; industrialised the economy; advanced the healthcare system; widespread the adoption of Western lifestyle & diet, the higher the total deaths and in most […]

Why SARS-CoV-2 Is NOT Airborne Spread.

3 June 2021

‘The Ships Hung In The Sky In Much The Same Way That Bricks Don’t.’ The above is a line from Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, referring to the arrival of the Vogon Constructor Fleet. The relevance to SARS-CoV-2 is that even a brick if thrown is airborne spread…for a very short time. It […]

Tests That Would Have Saved Thousands.

13 May 2021

UK COVID-19 mortality rate remains one of the highest in the world. On a population-adjusted basis (for fair comparison) the UK mortality rate is 4.36x the worldwide average, which means there have been an additional 98,364 deaths in the UK (@0500UTC 13/05/21, source: Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center/Worldmeters). Deaths that were avoidable. One of the […]

Calcifediol (Vitamin D) Is The Most Effective Vaccine.

14 February 2021

Our Position On Calcifediol Is Validated Again. In early July 2020 we identified the importance of vitamin D in respect of SARS-CoV-2, both in terms of systematic vitamin D deficiency leading to increased COVID-19 disease severity & resultant higher mortality rates and the role of vitamin D in providing protective or sterilising immunity. Natural exposure […]

Why The S Protein Is Not The Target You Are Looking For.

11 February 2021

The First Lesson Of Camouflage – Not Being Seen. The majority of vaccines and antivirals both in use and in development as SARS-CoV-2 countermeasures target the structural Spike protein. We have highlighted previously that as the S protein trimers contain the RBDs, the S protein houses the virion’s principal weapon and is therefore the obvious, […]

Nitric Oxide Immunity In The Upper Respiratory Tract.

24 January 2021

The Upper Respiratory Tract Is The Key Battleground. Back in July 2020, we first explained the crucial significance of vitamin D as an effective viral countermeasure as well as the significance of vitamin D deficiency in SARS-CoV-2’s pathogenesis and COVID-19 disease severity. Then in October we highlighted the importance of the vitamin D→endothelial nitric oxide synthase→nitric […]
