COVID-19 Update (Sept. 25, 2020)
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
The COVID-19 pandemic has become so politicized that misinformation is rampant. To cut through the clutter, I recommend ignoring much of what you hear in the media and instead focus on what the research shows — that and have a good dollop of common sense.
(Note: I've included more footnotes with references to studies in this article than I normally do. I've done this to give you the opportunity to read the research first hand and judge for yourself if my views are supported.)
In this article I discuss:
- Simple ways to optimize immunity. There is a reason why less than 1% of the population has had any symptoms at all from this virus.
- By age, how likely you are to die if you get the virus. Overall COVID-19 mortality is currently estimated at 0.6%. So only about 1 in 180 people who get the disease dies. For those who are 40 years old, this drops to 1 in 1,600.
- We are not seeing any increase in deaths in the CFS/FMS population. I have actually only seen the virus flare CFS/FMS symptoms in just two cases.
- How to improve your chances of being among the 98% of people who have no problems, even if you come into close contact with the virus, through common-sense precautions.
- Common sense social policy.
- What treatments are most likely to help if you get the virus.
COVID-19 requires correct information, perspective, and common sense. Not fear. Here's what you need to know to stay safe!
Love & Blessings,
Dr. T
Did Amazon Send You the Older Edition of My Book Instead of This New Edition?
We have heard that a few people who ordered the new edition of From Fatigued To Fantastic! (the one with the green cover) on Amazon mistakenly received the older edition (yellow cover). My apologies if this happened to you. If it did, please email me at FatigueDoc@gmail.com with a photo of the yellow-covered book you received along with a photo of your Amazon receipt (or Amazon account page) showing the date of your purchase. Include your shipping address and I will send you a copy of the new edition.
Low Vitamin D Levels May Be Most Accurate Predictor of Premature Mortality
In this recent study, "Men with the lowest free 25(OH)D levels (<4.43 ng/L) had a 91% increased risk for all-cause mortality compared to those with the very highest amount of free 25(OH)D." This is in line with countless other studies, and shows the importance of getting plenty of sunshine. As well as a good multivitamin with at least 1000 units of vitamin D daily. The proper advice regarding sunshine? "Avoid sunburn, not sunshine!"
