“In the strategy of prevention of Sars-CoV2 contagion it is essential to ensure adequate high blood values of vitamin D3 (because they are directly related to an increased immune response), in support of therapy against the disease, as well as the treatment of post-Covid syndrome, as the modulation of the immune response of vitamin D counteracts the inflammatory cytokine storm “. The scientific society Sis 118 writes this, which has documented the data that emerged from the taking in charge of a few hundred Covid patients.
“Beyond the most decisive changes in the parameters of the reduction of severe clinical forms and above all mortality, the clinical and managerial need to prevent Covid-positive patients with acute respiratory symptoms from deteriorating at home, developing levels of insufficiency, remains central so serious as to be difficult to respond to hospital intensive care “, explains Mario Balzanelli, president of Sis 118.” In the period between 21 September and 21 November 2020 – he adds – in the Covid station of the 118 fixed medical station of the San hospital Giuseppe Moscati of Taranto has been documented as in all patients with acute respiratory failure secondary to interstitium-alveolar pneumonia, extremely severe vitamin D3 deficiency, the more marked the more compromised the clinical conditions “.
“Vitamin D3 – clarifies the president of the Scientific Society – is not just a vitamin as is commonly believed as much as a real hormone, which intervenes in the regulation of the systemic inflammatory response, in the modulation of the systemic immune response, in the mechanisms of protection against acute lung damage (acute respiratory distress syndrome), in the repair mechanisms of the lung affected by hyperacute inflammatory insults such as Covid-19 pneumonia, as well as prevention of pulmonary fibrosis in the post-Covid-19 syndromic phase “.
