How do you feel about the reopening across the UK?

Unfortunately, there has been very little serious argument allowed by the media about what has been done: lockdown, masks treatments besides vaccines – all given the nod with no questioning about the science. I worked in pharma until 2008 and I am in disbelief at how anything outwith their advice has been given a decent hearing. Vitamin D, was something about which I had a great deal of knowledge.
When I saw saw the people who were dying, my immediate thought was: these are all people in whom vitamin D is low.
Yet, when studies came out of Spain showing that treating patients with activated vitamin D ( this is a pharmaceutical entity available only by a hospital consultant’s prescription) the results were downplayed by doctors. It was explained as being a result of vitamin D being low in patients due to the effects of the virus and not because the individuals who were I’ll had historically had low vitamin D levels. However, the latest study fro Israel completely verifies the Spanish studies. No moderately or seriously ill among those with good levels of vitamin D.
Not only that, but there was only condemnation for anyone saying that there treatments using old drugs – repurposing then, even when good result were demonstrated. In what other disease outbreak have patients been sent home without treatment and wait for their condition to improve or deteriorate.
Everything pointed to stopping progression to serious condition. Once they needed hospitalisation, hard luck.
And yet very highly regarded clinicians, including Paul Marik, East Virginia, Medical School , have been silenced, for saying that Ivermectin was useful in treating COVID.
I expect the response to my comments will be negative, but I’m convinced that a large part of our medical profession have been duped by the industry that I worked in and that there is little recognition
of the vice like grip in which they are being held.
What is needed is a reassessment of what makes us healthy.
Carbohydrate restriction has been shown to have good effects in many areas and is exemplified by Dr David Unwin, in Southport, UK.

I was deficient in vitamin D several years ago, so I took steps to increase my intake. My wife, who was being treated for cancer, read that it might be helpful for her conditions, so joined me. We manage our sun exposure after living in some very sunny climates in the past, and having unfortunate momentous of those times. In January last year, my wife developed covid, but after intensive treatment over numerous weeks with various pharmaceuticals, she recovered. I have avoided Covid so far, and at my age, I am keen to continue aggressive self-protection. Did vitamin D help me? Maybe, it did not protect my wife.
My level is now considered close to the upper limit, but I do not know my wife’s levels. Since then, we have been keen to take up any vaccinations, though we never had any reservations about them in the past, ensuring that the children were kept up to date. One daughter has worked many overtime hours over the past year or so in the ‘delivery side’ of the health industry, and her reaction to those less committed to vaccination in general is unprintable.
Due to the stress of dealing with my wife’s health issues, I have taken my eye off my weight, though it has recently moved centre stage as other health issues have reared up in my path.
I try to take a balanced course through the conflicting sources of data and take as much care as I can to balance things out. I am well aware that the mix of tablets I already take can easily end up in conflicts if I mix in too many new items.
I consider that there is unlikely to be any one answer. I has become increasingly clear that a personal’s genetic make up can affect many aspects of their life, ranging from food intolerances through to their reactions to drugs and to illnesses. It is clear that a one size fits all approach does not fit all. Members of my family have different, negative, but by no means unusual reactions to different treatments, e.g. sedatives, antibiotics, some foods, flavourings such as garlic, etc to which we all react in our own ways. For this reason, I am not always keen to just accept results from situations that do not necessarily mimic my family’s background. Thus, I understand anyone’s hesitation about studies carried out in other locations where diet, food sources, digestive systems, etc. may not represent their normality. Happily, this problem is being understood by the industry and their approach has been to extend study boundaries as widely as practical.
