Optimizing Immunologic Functions that Help Reduce Risk for Infection, Morbidity and Mortality by Vitamins D, C & Integrative Orthomolecular Medicine Measures.
15 keynote speakers and Prof. Michael Holick as president will give an “Update 2021” of the situation and invite everybody to participate to listen and collect latest information – broadcasted all over the world.
We are convinced, that the growing evidence of the great influence of vitamin D on our immune system combined with the worldwide awareness of the pandemic of viral infections offer a unique chance to put vitamin D in the correct light it deserves – as well in the medical field as well in the public opinion – especially if accompanied by Integrative Orthomolecular Medicine Measures.

Thomas Levy
T. E. Levy, MD, JD
Dr. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly-administered vitamin C to neutralize this toxicity. He has now written 13 books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralizing all toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer. Others address the important roles of dental toxicity and nutrition in disease and health.
Inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame in 2016, Dr. Levy continues to research the impact of the orthomolecular application of vitamin C and antioxidants in general on chronic degenerative diseases. His ongoing research involves documenting that all diseases are different forms and degrees of focal scurvy, arising from increased oxidative stress, especially intracellularly, and that they all benefit from protocols that optimize the antioxidant levels in the body.
His latest book, Rapid Virus Recovery, is being given away to anyone who will download it, demonstrating that a proper protocol of hydrogen peroxide nebulization will reliably resolve COVID, often in its advanced stages, as a monotherapy. Other effective ways to eradicate the virus are discussed as well.
W. Todd Penberthy
T. Penberthy, PhD
Born in Winter Park, Florida, USA 1967. My grandfather got atherosclerosis and died a few years later while I was a teen. Suddenly, my family became interested in health and I had my first exposure to the niacin as a teen in the 1980s.
In graduate school and in post-doctoral training, I studied developmental biology, gene functions, biochemistry, and molecular biology from 1991 – 2004 working at Tuft’s New England Medical Center, Medical College of Georgia, and UCLA. As a professor directing my own research at the University of Cincinnati, I used zebrafish disease models of human disease for drug discovery research with a fortune 500 company. I realized the off-target problems and limitations of standard drug discovery and development and increased my interest in niacin, which I was taking regularly. I connected with the man that has used high doses of niacin or niacinamide in more patients than anyone to my knowledge, Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD (1917-2009). From 2004 a renaissance was beginning for NAD-related research and the niacin-flush pathway was elucidated. With Hoffer’s and Andrew Saul’s guidance I learned of the superiority of orthomolecular medicine as the best and safest approach for directly addressing causes of disease
My basic research focused on the question of which NAD precursor is best (niacin?), where research clearly supported that high dose niacin should work/be examined for treating neurodegenerative diseases, especially multiple sclerosis (Penberthy WT [au]; PubMed). In 2013 I left the research lifestyle to become a home-based continuing medical education writer (www.CMESCRIBE.com) for teaching physicians and expanding my own horizons, learning all about clinical medicine. I’ve since written textbook chapters on niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, and biotin for the books Present Knowledge in Nutrition (2020 & 2012) and also Biochemical, Physiological, and Molecular Aspects of Human Nutrition (2018 & 2012), regularly attend medical conferences, co-authored The Vitamin Cure for Arthritis, generate regular news pieces after interviews with just published in top journal scientists for BioWorld, and have most recently started offering personalized health research service consultation, www.PHRS-USA.com from 2020 (laboratory testing & supplementations, lifestyle, elimination diets, etc…). Starting in 2018 I have also been working with Aspen Lasers researching/writing systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and case studies involving on using high power density photobiomodulation with emphasis on addressing cognitive disorders/dementia.
My primary expertise and focus continue to be niacin vs related NAD precursors, orthomolecular medicine, and high-powered laser photobiomodulation (PBMT)/LLLT towards identifying the most responsive indications particularly for respective treatments.

Panel III: The Prevention and Management of Long Covid and the Side Effects of Covid Vaccines
Covid-19 is part of our life now. Some Covid-19 infected people may have lingering symptoms of Covid-19, this is also known as Long Covid. Many people have also received or are receiving Covid-19 vaccines. Covid-19 vaccination is also required in certain jobs and public areas, including travel. Some people are hesitant about vaccines due to the potential vaccine side effects. But when it comes to vaccination and your job, it’s a very hard decision to make. Our panel of experts will discuss the mechanisms of Long Covid and vaccine side effects and what you can do to prevent and manage if you do have these problems.

Jörg Spitz
J. Spitz, Prof. Dr. med.
My name is Jörg Spitz. I am a board certified specialist in Nuclear medicine and one of the secretaries of this DAVINCI Event. In my first career I have served as Head of Department of Nuclear Medicine, Academic and Municipal Hospital, Wiesbaden for 25 years and at the same time as affiliated professor in the clinic of Nuclear Medicine, University of Mainz.
After my retirement from this position over 15 years ago, I graduated in preventive medicine and nutrition, developing a holistic and multi factorial concept in lifestyle medicine to prevent and overcome NCD – cancer included.
To spread this information in a professional way I founded the Academy for Human Medicine and Optimum Health and established a charitable foundation. These institutions helped me to organizes annual national conferences on lifestyle medicine at the campus of the university of Frankfurt and establish informative internet platforms on topics like Vitamin D and nutrition as well as on Dementia and MS.

About the DAVINCI conference.
This new type of conference – which is used for the actual online event on Covid-19 for the first time – arises from the need to make scientific information available to the society with special properties: quicker, unfiltered and inexpensive (experts and laypeople as well) without limitations in the number of participants.
The word “DAVINCI” is not only reminiscent of the brilliant Italian scientist and inventor, but also represents the abbreviation of the motto of this new type of event: “Direct Access to Virtual International and National Conference Information”.
