the animal based nutritional research foundation is doing wonderful research

this is @Paul Saladino MD organization and i owe him a lot of gratitude for his original carnivore book that opened my eyes to the ancestral animal based diet we forgot in the modern age. before that i floundered with plant based diets and all the standard teachings of medical school vilifying cholesterol and pushing vitamin supplements.
vitamin D has never been isolated from humans in a form distinct from vitamin D₃ (cholecalciferol). In humans, only vitamin D₃ has been identified This compound is produced in the skin when 7‑dehydrocholesterol is irradiated by UV‑B light.
The term "vitamin D₁" was initially used but was later discovered to be an artifact—a mixture of vitamin D₂ and another compound
The first pure vitamin D to be isolated and identified was vitamin D₂ (ergocalciferol), but this was from plant/fungal sources (like irradiated yeast), not from humans

glyphosate, the world's most widely used herbicide, inhibits CYP enzymes -- the very enzymes we need to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight and cholesterol
here is my interview with Jamie Andrews, project manager for the viral control studies project. We discuss the basic methodology of viral culture research and the reason why growth medium can produce viral like particles. These viral cultures underpin all of virology as a science.
His data shows that it is the starving of the cells that produce the images of viruses that we have been shown since we were little children.
When a cell is dying because it is starved of nutrition, it expels its contents as it dies.
The process of isolating a virus involves adding a sample from a "infected human" to a cell culture, seeing the cytopathic effects while the cell is also starved on a low nutrient medium, and then isolating the debris and sequencing it. If the debris comes from a starving cell, it puts serious doubts on the idea that the sample from an infected individual caused the cell lysis.

Viral control studies posts:
when you use a statin and indirectly poison your mitochondria by decreasing the available cholesterol that is used to synthesize many of the components of your electron transport chain that generates the ATP that is necessary for energy usage in your body
statins inhibit the production of CoQ10 a crucial component of your mitochondria . it's been tried to mitigate the effects by supplementing with creatine and coq10 but unfortunately, with little success.
then when you don't produce ATP, the cycle continues with less cholesterol utilization, which drops ATP further exacerbating the stress on your system by having less cholesterol available for use which then means less ATP available.
people feel this affect with their muscle cramps went on statins because their muscles are starved of both building blocks and ATP from mitochondria poison of the statin. this is also probably the underlying mechanism for brain fog that many experience when on a statin since your brain has less ATP available.
