Vitamin D for the win!

We don’t know the dosage or protocol for stopping the bradykinin storm, or even if this hypothesis is confirmed through more tests ... but it seems sensible to me to make sure one has a healthy level of Vitamin D, and that is actionable for a lot of people.

Really hoping this is better by the next few months or my Seattle winter will be even more pill popping to maintain basic human functionality....

If you cook or grow your own food (microgreens, mushroom in a kitchen cabinet), there are alternatives.

For example: https://www.milkwood.net/2014/03/31/want-extra-vitamin-d-pla...

This works for both shiitake and button (portobello) mushrooms.

This trick came from Paul Stamets, one of the world’s foremost mycologist. He is based out in Casscadia. You may have to track down exactly what “2 days” means... I wouldn’t be surprised if he went looking for a way to maintain his Vitamin D health.

You only need 10g of this four times a week, according to this article. While it is summer time in Seattle, you can prepare a bunch and then dry them, so they last until next spring.

This is a great insight, thank you.

I recommend a bottle of chewables, placed somewhere you're likely to see it every day. It's makes it easier to get others to take their dose as well, if you take the water glass out of the equation.
