- Cancer continues to be more deadly for Blacks than Whites (hint – low Vitamin D) – May 2022
- Dark-skinned children 3.4 X more likely to die after surgery than white skinned children NYT July 20, 2020
- Do blacks have a 5 year life penalty due to low vitamin D from JAMA 2007
- Heart Disease 1.3 years, HIV 0.6 years, Perinatal death 0.5 years, Stroke 0.4 years, Lung cancer 0.3 years,

VitaminDWiki – Sepsis is both prevented and treated by Vitamin D - many studies contains:
- Sepsis is more likely in those with poor immune systems
Infants, the elderly, the sick, and those with low vitamin D - Severe sepsis has been associated with low Vitamin D and poor Vitamin D receptor in many studies
- Loading doses of Vitamin D bypass any poor Vitamin D Receptors
- Vitamin D loading doses have been proven to treat sepsis (RCTs: 2015, 2020, 2021)
Reduced: ICU stay by 8 days, Hospital stay by 7 days, and readmission rate reduced to 0%
Note: The fastest way (2 hours) to have a sublingual loading dose of Vitamin D nano-emulsion - Sepsis is fought by Vitamin D in 9 ways – Feb 2023
VitaminDWiki – Overview Dark Skin and Vitamin D contains
FACT - - People with dark skins have more health problems and higher mortality rate than those with light skins
Dark Skin studies: Pregnancy (
FACT - - People with dark skins have low levels of vitamin D
FACT - - People with light skins who have low vitamin D have health problems
OBSERVATION - - The health problems of whites with low level of vitamin D are similar to those with dark skins
CONCLUSION - - People with dark skins have more health problems due to low levels of vitamin D
