[LINK] Submission / comment on Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023; Vitamin D and the immune system

[Robin Whittle]

Hi!

Y'all have probably read enough critiques of this stinker:

    Exposure DraftCommunications Legislation Amendment (Combatting
    Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023
    <https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/department/media/publications/communications-legislation-amendment-combatting-misinformation-and-disinformation-bill-2023>

but if you want to read mine, it is at:

My big page of links to and discussion of the immune system's need for 
at least 125 nmol/L 25 ng/mL circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (as 
measured in "vitamin D" blood tests):

    https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/

There is an article 
https://brownstone.org/articles/vitamin-d-everything-you-need-to-know/ 
which covers much of this, and has a cheerful robotic voice version, if 
you want to listen to it.  However, my primary aim is to encourage 
people to read the research themselves, rather than accept what I write.

For most 70 kg (154 lb) people who are not suffering from obesity, a 
daily (on average, it can be taken once every 7 to 10 days) intake of 
vitamin D2 cholecalciferol of 0.125 mg (5000 IU) will generally attain, 
after several months,  125 nmol/L 25 ng/mL circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin 
D, which is 1 part in 20,000,000 by mass.

"Five thousand international units" sounds like a lot, but it is 1/8 of 
a milligram.  Per day, this is a gram every 22 years. Pharma grade 
vitamin D3 costs about USD$2.50 a gram.

Less than 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D raises risks of a 
plethora of diseases and chronic conditions, including Parkinson's 
disease and most or all of the other age-related neurodegenerative 
conditions.   I am trying to be brief.  This may sound too simple to be 
true, but please read the research for yourself.
