In Ireland, for example, academics are urging the government there to include vitamin D as part of a national strategy<\/a> to tackle the pandemic. A recent letter<\/a> published in The National<\/em>, a newspaper in Scotland, called for immediate widespread increased vitamin D intakes and was signed by more than 100 doctors and scientists worldwide.<\/p>\n Politicians are also now calling for vitamin D to be deployed against COVID-19. \u00a0In the United States, Representative Glenn Grothman recently introduced a\u00a0House Resolution<\/a>\u00a0to recognize the significant role it may play in the fight against the virus.<\/p>\n David Davis, a British politician, has similarly become a prominent campaigner for the use of vitamin D and recently\u00a0spoke about it<\/a>\u00a0in the UK House of Commons. Citing the example of the Andalusia region in Spain, where there has been widespread distribution of vitamin D to care home residents and some patients, Davis explained how the death rate from COVID-19 had almost halved. Describing vitamin D as a \u201ccheap, safe and apparently effective treatment<\/em>\u201d, he urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ask his advisors to \u201clook urgently, again, at the very latest Spanish research<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n To read about a recent study in which Spanish doctors found high-dose vitamin D cuts the risk of death from COVID-19 by 60 percent, see this article<\/a> on our website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vitamin D supplementation should be a standardized practice to treat COVID-19 in hospitalized older patients, according to a newly published position statement by the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51860,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[120],"yoast_head":"\nComment<\/em><\/h3>\n
