Many physicians choose the latter because they feel the long-term safety of LT3 hasn't been adequately studied.

Published: April 16, 2021

Although it was sensible to shelter in place at the beginning of the pandemic when we were just beginning to learn about the risks of coronavirus and how it spreads, evidence is now mounting that continuing this practice may no longer be beneficial. In fact it may be quite harmful.

Social distancing and masking continue to be the more effective defense against COVID-19, along with common sense. But continuously staying in your home without ever getting out can actually be more deadly than the virus. Why?

Vitamin D

I have often discussed the importance of vitamin D in helping protect you from COVID-19. In fact, numerous studies have shown that people with low vitamin D levels are much more likely to die if they catch COVID-19. The research is so convincing that even Dr. Fauci says that he takes vitamin D supplements for this very reason. And he rarely recommends any natural treatments for health issues!
