🧵THREAD: Vitamin D is arguably the most essential vitamin for your health. However, many aren't aware that pairing it with Magnesium, Zinc, and Vitamin K2 is extremely important. In this thread, I will explain why.
#1 Magnesium plays a crucial role in the body's ability to produce and activate Vitamin D. It is essential for the enzymes responsible for converting Vitamin D into its active form. A lack of adequate Mg can lead to diminished Vitamin D levels even with sufficient dietary intake. Image
#2 A 2013 study reported that 60% of Americans consumed less magnesium than the average requirement. This finding underscores the significance of understanding magnesium's role in Vitamin D synthesis and the necessity of adequate intake of both nutrients. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
#3 People today are deficient in magnesium due to modern diets lacking magnesium-rich foods, soil depletion from intensive farming, and modern lifestyle factors like stress, alcohol, and meds which increase magnesium excretion. This was not as much of an issue 100 years ago.

#4 Zinc is also crucial for enzymatic activities that convert Vitamin D to its active form and supports proper utilization. Zinc and Vitamin D work together to provide greater benefits, as this study found. Zinc deficiency can impair Vitamin D metabolism.

#5 The same accounts for Vitamin K2. It is necessary to take it in combination with D3 as it activates osteocalcin, a protein that helps deposit calcium in bones. Without enough K2, calcium can accumulate in the blood, leading to health problems as my causal loop diagram shows. Image
#6 You can read my entire publication on the necessity of taking Vitamin K2 along with Vitamin D here. Interestingly, I was banned from Twitter 1.0 for sharing this peer-reviewed publication, which they labeled as 'dangerous medical misinformation'.

#7 To optimize Vitamin D benefits, take about 50-100mg of magnesium per 1,000 IU of D3, 200mcg of K2, and 15-20mg of Zinc. Targeting 50-80 ng/mL blood serum level typically requires 3,000-7,000 IU/day, depending on your age, weight, health and sun exposure.sunfluencer.com/vitamin-d-magn…
#8 The best source of vitamin D is the sun; however, supplementation might be necessary to achieve beneficial levels. Keep in mind that vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, so take it together with a fatty meal and Omega-3 fatty acids (see article). sunfluencer.com/omega-3-index-…
#9 In almost all cases, however, the sun is not enough. Especially for people with dark skin living in northern latitudes, supplementation is necessary to achieve blood serum levels of at least 50 ng/mL. sunfluencer.com/african-americ…
#10 When it comes to Vitamin D and Omega-3, finding a reliable source is key. As the creator of , I'm proud to offer a holistic product that emphasizes both quality and value. However, what is most important is that you take your health into your own hands.sunfluencer.com
#11 Taking your health into your own hands involves not only a comprehensive vitamin D strategy, but also following a healthy diet, and engaging in regular exercise. You can trust me on this; I was banned from social media for sharing genuine health tips during Covid. Image
#12 Here are some golden dietary tips you should follow:
▪️ Saturated fats are good, as are foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
▪️ Avoid processed foods and vegetable oils.
▪️ Cut down on your sugar and alcohol intake.
▪️ Do not consume gluten every day.
▪️ Eat fermented foods.
#13 I'd like to conclude this brief information thread with the words of my friend @drcole12:

'There is no such thing as flu and cold season. There is only low Vitamin D season.'

Make sure yours is more than sufficient; which means >50 ng/mL.
@drcole12 #14 Why 50 ng/mL? This level has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of hospital-acquired and surgical site infections, as demonstrated by a 2014 study. It's also five times more effective in preventing illness compared to the 30 ng/mL level recommended by the WHO. Image
@drcole12 #15 Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. I have made it into a Substack article, in case you want to share it externally.

I would also highly appreciate it if you followed my vitamin D startup @sunfluencer and myself.

sunshine!☀️

🚨 This is Aidan Maese-Czeropski, the @SenatorCardin staffer who filmed himself having butts*x in a senate hearing room.

Instead of showing remorse and asking for forgiveness, he accused critics on LinkedIn of being homophonic.

Also, there has been no sign of life from the Krassenstein twins for more than ten hours. What do you think, will they get upset about the democracy-degrading action, or will they justify and sugarcoat it?Image
His name on X was @andredc9999. They/them has deleted his account after the video got released. His tweets were extremely disturbing and I’m grateful @internetarchive failed to download the picture to his tweet. Anyway, this is the slippery slope we’re currently heading down. Image
@andredc9999 @internetarchive And here we go: Krassencuck #1 isn’t condemning the action but instead criticizes those posting the censored video, arguing that it’s inappropriate for children to see.

Right – this is the same guy who recently defended nakęd groomers on bikes around small children.

Hypocrite! Image

🚨URGENT: Community Notes requires a makeover, as it seems to be infiltrated by three-letter agencies. The user 'enterprising desert raven', for instance, appears to be fully committed to maintaining the official narrative, spreading falsehoods about Covid vaccines, Vitamin D, and Ivermectin, etc.

For X, @CommunityNotes are akin to what the scientific peer review process is for academic publications. The secrecy and nepotism inherent in the peer review process contribute to the erosion of science's credibility and quality. Similarly, more transparency is essential here:

▪️ Who are the real individuals behind the 'Enterprising Desert Raven' profile?
▪️ What drives this account to relentlessly support the narrative of the government and Big Pharma?
▪️ Are bot farms being employed to artificially boost the Community Notes of this user?
▪️ How does the moderation system in Community Notes ensure fairness, especially in controversial topics?
▪️ Is there any oversight to prevent potential misuse of power by influential users like 'Enterprising Desert Raven'?

So many questions - if @elonmusk doesn't address these issues promptly, Community Notes will turn X into what the editor mafia has done to Wikipedia: a platform for governmental propaganda.Image

@elonmusk Hey @elonmusk. The state actor has struck again, this time by spreading lies about Media Matters and you. Image

🧵THREAD: Regarding a study, living in rural areas will increase the chance of getting a heart attack.

I wonder when the first crazy journalists will claim that too much gardening and consumption of organic eggs in such areas are responsible for the increasing cardiac arrests.⬇️ Image
#1 Oh wait, it seems like journalists have already figured out that a healthy lifestyle is actually responsible for the surge of heart diseases.

"But Simon, how about these ‘Covid vaccines’ that were released just before the cardiac arrest numbers went up?"

Image
Image
#2 Well, stop being such a right-wing conspiracy theorist. Journalists have already reported that there is really no correlation between the 'shot' and heart attacks.

Indian scientists have now figured out that the real reason behind them is excessive workout and binge drinking. Image

Until the 1970, the majority of the people were fit as a fiddle! No keto, vegan, or paleo diets. No home aerobics or gym memberships. No fancy fitness tech or wellness influencers. They also weren't drinking protein shakes or counting calories.

So, what went wrong? A THREAD 🧵⬇️ Image
#1 Medication. In the 1970s, the average American spent 10 times less on prescription drugs than now. Contrary to popular belief, people in Western countries are also compelled to take potentially lethal drugs. Instead of addressing root causes, end-of-pipe solutions are applied. Image
#2 Demonization of Saturated Fats. Since the 60s, it's been claimed that saturated fats cause heart attacks. Although we've been nourished by lard & butter for thousands of years, these good fats were replaced with inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids. "Trust the science," they said! Image

🚨 ON A PERSONAL NOTE: How I lost my job as a scientist, the role Twitter played, and how Elon Musk is breaking his promise.

I was a postdoc scientist at @WUR, specializing in system dynamics and biotechnology since 2019, pursuing a scientific career. Everything was going according to plan until my three-year funding was about to end, and I was informed that I needed to seek alternative funding. Consequently, in the fall of 2020, I wrote a funding proposal during my free time that involved several research institutes worldwide.

The chances of securing the funding were less than 1%, but I succeeded! Regrettably, before this positive outcome, I wrote a thread on Twitter (then having 300 followers) discussing why I believed the peer review process of the Covid PCR protocol was most likely rigged. The thread went viral, attracting significant backlash from Dutch pro-Covid scientists.

Despite my critical stance, and even though my superiors found no flaws in my analysis, the university eventually conveyed their gratitude for the funds I brought in but decided to seek another, “less critical” scientist. "People at higher positions were not happy with your statements," I was informed.

Suddenly jobless, I contacted other project partners included in the research consortium. The only willing partner to employ me was the Norwegian research institute @SINTEF. Fortuitously, my Twitter account was permanently banned in the summer of 2021, around the time of signing the contract, due to my audacity in posting about vitamin D studies and asking the Gates Foundation why they coincidentally invested US$55,000,000 in BioNTech in September 2019. The latter was seen as dangerous misinformation by the Twitter moral guardians, even though I provided a link to the website of the Gates Foundation supporting my claim.

Anyway, since one of the project partners, responsible for constructing a demo system in a tropical climate, dropped out of the research consortium, I was asked if I would take over their part. Already living in the Brazilian rainforest back then, I agreed and allocated part of my private property for the consortium's demo system (see the linked post below how I ended up in the Brazilian rainforest - it’s a wild story!). I was then asked to front the construction costs, which was strange, considering the consortium had received several million dollars, but I agreed since the research project was my "baby," and I was keen on its successful completion.

By the end of 2022, I had built the demo system, costing over $30,000, during evenings and weekends, as @SINTEF was unwilling to compensate me for this construction work. Additionally, I successfully contributed to internal and external projects and lived the life of a critical, yet socially accepted, scientist, who was mainly active on Telegram and Gettr. During this period, there were no complaints. With nearly 200k followers on my Telegram and Gettr channels, the audience in my personal social media bubble consisted exclusively of critical people.

Everything changed at the beginning of 2023 when I got my suspended Twitter account back, which then quickly grew, with around 3000 new followers per day. My tweets were as critical as ever; every day, I confronted Covid perpetrators with screenshots of their own statements from my archive that I maintained since 2020. Internally, the environment quickly became uncomfortable. Allegedly, there were many external complaints about me, as my former boss @stalew stated in a Skype conversation. In February, I was fired on the grounds of "exceeding freedom of expression on Twitter" (see screenshot).

What's outrageous is that the evening before @stalew fired me, he asked me via a private Skype message to send him an Excel document of mine that I used for calculating complex recirculating systems. He said he wanted to understand how the systems I designed actually work. Unaware of what’s yet to come and being quite naive, I sent him my Excel file to "play around a bit." Shortly after firing me, he brazenly claimed that the Excel document, almost unchanged since 2015, was now the IP of @SINTEF. In my world, this is THEFT. I wonder how the CEO of SINTEF, @abgjorv, sees this.

Subsequently, I sought legal counsel from @belawed (follow her; she's an amazing Norwegian truth warrior) while setting up my Vitamin D startup @sunfluencer. I had to live off something as an alleged grifter, after all.

Things quickly escalated! SINTEF refused to pay for the demo system unless I conducted unpaid experiments for them and settled for three months' salary. I refused and filed a lawsuit against SINTEF. Their lawyers argued to the court that since I lived in Brazil (which was only the case so I could build the demo system there for the project), I couldn’t sue SINTEF without having assets to pay the opposing legal party and court costs in case of loss. I then sent the value of my assets (land plus house in Brazil, including purchase contract) to the court, which was rejected as they were not Norwegian assets.

Now I had until October 18th to prove to the court that I was able to pay $30,000 (in case I lose the case) and transfer that amount to some client's account; otherwise, the proceedings would have been dismissed, leaving me with the advanced costs for the demo system and the absurd dismissal. In addition to the $30,000, I also had to cover my lawyer's fees. To meet these financial obligations, I eventually had to sell my car here in Brazil. Moreover, I had to withdraw funds from my wholly-owned startup, @sunfluencer, which significantly impacted its operating capital. I am now down one car and $30,000, and can only hope that the judge will set aside personal biases, focusing solely on the objective assessment of the facts.

Once again, a large "woke" company is seemingly doing as it pleases with its employees: stealing personal work, letting employees pay project costs from their own pocket, simply canceling them for daring to question things and calling those out who discriminated against billions in the course of three years, and then hiring one of the country's most expensive law firms in an attempt to deplete what remains of my assets.

This brings me to @ElonMusk and his statement that he would support ANYONE who lost their job due to their activity on Twitter/X. Sadly, his statement appears to be either mere rhetoric, or he is not aware that his legal team, seemingly, does not care about those who lost their livelihoods due to their activity on this platform. I believe the latter is the case, as I consider Elon a staunch advocate of free speech. Anyway, my lawyer has sent an official letter to Twitter, receiving no response. Additionally, I contacted @kelsey_laymon from X’s legal team. I was assured that my message would be forwarded to “the team handling these requests.” To this day, I've heard nothing back from the legal team or Kelsey, even though I ping her weekly (i.e., "ping!"). My conclusion: nobody is going to help you. Dare to speak out? Deal with the consequences.

Last but not least, I am left with a question for all those who daily call me a grifter in my comment section: Since when is a grifter someone who exclusively loses money and constantly fears for his existence for speaking out? How do I benefit from advocating for what I profoundly believe in? Just because I started a GoFundMe (which I wouldn’t have done if I had enough money), doesn’t mean I am enriching myself. In short: had I kept my mouth shut and simply complied, I would now be at least 100 times "richer" than I currently am. However, I have consciously decided to resume activity on Twitter after regaining access to my account at the beginning of 2023, well aware that this move, like before, could lead to complications. Consequently, I alone must bear the societal and financial repercussions that arise. For those who still wish to continue supporting me, you can donate through my above-mentioned @GiveSendGo campaign (see tweet below) or subscribe to my channel here on X. But I would more strongly advocate for you to do both me and yourselves a favor by ordering your ration of Vitamin D from @sunfluencer in the future. You profit, I profit, we all profit, and I will be able to continue to speak out and bring justice to @SINTEF.

Thank you for your support and for helping me spread this story around the world, as big corporations only seem willing to address injustice when the public pressure is high.

Best,
Simon 🙏🏻❤️

🧵THREAD: The Krassenstein twins not only admitted to being paid by "higher ups" to manipulate public opinion, but they’ve also bought Twitter accounts and converted tween fan pages—with massive followings—into their private accounts.

But let’s take things one step at a time.⬇️
#1 Ponzi Scheme: Before Brian (@krassenstein) and Ed (@EdKrassen) became Twitter phenomena, the left-wing brothers allegedly ran Ponzi schemes and online financial 'scams'. In 2017, law enforcement seized nearly half a million dollars from them, contending it was derived from wire fraud.

Although they deny this, court records back me up! Their history already shows they've duped people by promoting multi-level marketing programs (MLMs) and high-yield investment programs (HYIPs). The latter is a type of Ponzi scheme, a scam that promises unrealistic high returns on investment by paying previous investors with the funds from the new ones. This seems to be their M.O.: deceiving people on a grand scale to line their own pockets.


Image

#2 Making Money with Facebook: Around the same time, the Krassensteins ran several Facebook pages designed to play on people's emotions to accumulate followers. Consider this one as an example. They exploited Facebook's design to make a ludicrous promise: get me to a million followers and, somehow, I'll accomplish something completely out of my control.

Then, in January 2010, the Krassensteins saw disaster as an opportunity just like their idol Hillary Clinton. They launched three groups related to the Haitian catastrophe, all to amass a substantial following. Here you see the first group, discussing the second one. I'll discuss the third group in the follow-up post below.
