Quickly raising Vitamin D levels has been proven to
Save lives, Reduce pain, Reduce ICU & hospital time/costs
- Sepsis is both prevented and treated by Vitamin D - many studies
- Ventilator-associated pneumonia death rate cut in half by Vitamin D injection (300,000 IU) – RCT July 2017
- ICU cost reduced by at least 27,000 dollars if get high dose vitamin D in first week - April 2017
- Vitamin D and Glutamine reduced Trauma Center deaths by half – March 2017
- 18 fewer hospital days if given 500,000 IU of vitamin D while ventilated in ICU – RCT June 2016
- ICU survival increased with vitamin D single 540K IU loading dose - JAMA Sept 2014
- Vitamin D deficiency in pediatric critical illness: Time to move on from observational studies – Nov 2016
- Flu stopped in 2-3 days by a single 50,000 IU dose of vitamin D
Proven ways which take 2 days & possible ways which might take 2 hours
Injection
Proven to raise vitamin D levels in 2 days with a single injection of standard vitamin D into muscle
Possibly faster if inject into multiple locations at the same time
Possibly faster if inject multiple times over a 3 day period
Possibly faster if inject near to trauma location (exploiting local paracrine and autocrine activation)
Intravenous - possible
Inject directly into blood (should be faster than injection into the muscle)
Oral Loading dose
Proven to raise Vitamin D levels in 3-5 days
150,000 IU seem to respond in 1 day
Topical loading dose near trauma site
Vitamin D is quickly absorbed thru the skin and becomes activated locally, without needing liver and kidney
Apply as a spray or liquid
DMSO might speed it up
Nanoemulsion appears to be good
Sublingual loading dose
20-30 sprays of 6,000 IU per spray - under the tongue, inside cheek
Standard form - nanoemulsion may be much faster
Which form should be used when?
Oil-based and Water-based forms probably have similar response times
Semi-activated (Calcidiol) - probably get benefits sooner - perhaps 12 hours
- Calcifediol soft capsules US Patent application]
- Note: In many countries Calcidiol is available only by prescription - which can take many days
Fully-activated (Calcitriol)- probably get benefits sooner
- probable prescription delay as above
Nanoemulsion swished in the mouth or topical appears to create a response in just a few hours
Magnesium might speed-up the healing
The body requires Magnesium during 8 stages of Vitamin D processing
Having an adequate level of Magnesium might speed up processing
A majority of people are low in both Magnesium and Vitamin D
Magnesium injections have been routine in hospitals for decades
Should consider giving Magnesium as an injection or orally when getting emergency Vitamin D
Non-emergency - raise the vitamin D level in a week or so
Scheduled surgery
Chronic pain/health problem which wants to be treated in days, not months
Pregnancy - many fetal deaths and infant problems can be avoided if have good level of vitamin D during the 1st trimester, vsthe 2nd trimester
Future? spray vitamin D during surgery
I anticipate that Vitamin D will be applied to many body tissues in future surgeries
As of 2017 topical Vitamin D has improved tooth transplants in dogs
Future: Other transplants, spinal cord surgery, wounds, sutures, bone healing. . .
perhaps even have suture thread covered with Vitamin D
