Physician and educator Dr. Roger Seheult (co-founder of MedCram Videos) shares his insights and experiences treating patients on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. He describes the stages of the disease and how these stages not only correspond to the body’s immune response but also dictate the type of treatment a patient requires. Dr. Seheult also discusses lessons learned from history about treating viral illness and how these lessons might help treat or even play a part in disease prevention.

Watch this episode to learn…
00:06:04 – How to compensate, as a clinician, for a loss of the usual hierarchy of evidence available when treating a new disease.
00:09:13 – Crucial differences in treating early vs. late-stage COVID-19 illness.
00:18:49 – How vitamin D drives broad gene regulatory effects mediated by a specialized vitamin D receptor element.
00:19:51 – How RDAs for vitamin D may be too low due to being established solely on calcium homeostasis.
