My daughter had a D level of 5. her provider put her on D2 50,000 units once a week for years with no benefit. After doing some research I found out how important Vitamin K was to absorbing D. I purchased Vitamin D3 with K2 daily dosing and within 3 months her D levels were within range and has stayed that way.

I was diagnosed with MS in 2016, went on an immunosuppressive, and then found out how important Vitamin D was for the immune system. In particular, it is critical for decreasing inflammation which is a key component of MS. I went through increasing intake and measuring my blood level for months until I figured out I need 8000 iu per day to stay at 100 ng/ml, which is optimal for MS. (For most people, 10,000 iu per day gets you to 100 ng/ml, 5000 iu per day gets you to 50 ng/ml, etc. So you can see that 2000 iu/day only raises your level by 20 ng/ml, which may still leave you insufficient.) Just before the Covid-19 outbreak, my doctor told me to stop the immunosuppressant because my B-cell level made me as low as an AIDS patient, and I was in danger of a viral brain infection. I did get Covid-19 but not bad enough to be hospitalized. Ever since then, my only MS medication has been Vitamin D! And I have had no more MS symptoms during the last 5 years.

You were lucky with youre vitamine D treatment. In my country literally ALL (100% ) covid patients in the hospital had a vitamin D shortage....I think this has saved you from severe consequences from Covid. (I also got covid...and my symptoms were less than a normal cold (rhino virus). But yes, I do take a daily vitamin D 1000 IU (in oil capsules..as this video tells it must be taken with fats) and magnesium citraat as supplement ...I'm 67 years old. I'm lucky with my education as child about healthy food and a wife---physician--- with also has as a target using minimal pharma (drugs) and preventing illnesses with healthy food. We also go as far as possible with not pasteurized milk products (Butter, cheese). Less processing meand more nutrients we need.

I had a friend that was diagnosed with MS. He had become suddenly incoherent and it had appeared as though he was incapable of following a conversation quickly and he had also lost a lot of basic speaking abilities. This isn't a diss, I loved him like a brother from another mother, but I was never strong enough to cope how he changed because I had pain too. With the FOMO effect at the time in early 2000s from what technology had given, how could someine with pain still so indescribable to this day as me, not leave? I still suffer the loss of a friend that day. Plus we'll never be able to share our divine intervention/ai encounter with the world. Anyways, my question was, lol, did you smoke pot prior to the diagnoses or anything out of the blue like that? I've been working on a hypothesis that is aimed at solving the reason for MS so any other info would be greatly appreciated.

I recall seeing that practically every covid death somewhere had been measured to be deficient in vitamin d and zinc, so I made sure to take plenty even on top of my multivitamin and pulled through the virus just fine with all symptoms gone within a week. (This week I caught it again and was down to a runny rose after a day) The same went for my uncle,he'd been watching this type of video since his doctor steered him towards keto for pre-diabetes. My mother didn't listen when I told her this and wouldn't take it, went to the hospital with extremely low blood oxygen, spent at least a month in an intensive care unit across the state, narrowly got out of it alive and came home *with a prescription for, guess what, vitamin d and zinc.* (She's a "burn your fingers to figure out they were right about touching the stove" kind of learner,now she watches videos like this but scoffs at keto as my uncle's health improves on it 🙄)

Excellent presentation - the most comprehensive I’ve ever seen. I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency (26 nmol/l after five years of what felt like burnout. Just walking 1,000 yards felt like a mountain & it seemed I was always getting bronchitis & sinus infections. It took about ten years to break into the sufficiency zone (76 nmol/l), but I started feeling much stronger after about five years. My doctor said take 1,000 iu, then 2,000 iu, then 3,000 iu, then told me I wasn’t taking the right type. Then it was 3,000 iu, then 4,000 iu, & then 5,000 iu & then we started seeing better improvement. I started taking 10,000 iu for a year & when last tested, I was at 198 nmol/l. My blood calcium was just under the low end of normal, so that’s not a concern - I’ve been taking K2 MK7. I’ve since dialed my vitamin D3 back to 7,500 iu. Today, at 58 years of age, I can walk as far as I want & I tolerate stress way better. Vitamin D deficiency stole about ten years of what was supposed to be the best years of my life. I can’t recommend testing enough.

For anyone who lives in Ireland, take note that the medical practitioners never check Vitamin D, even if you are very ill and admitted to hospital. I asked a GP about this and she said that they don't bother testing for Vt.D in Ireland because, and I quote, "everyone is always low". And this GP refused to prescribe a higher dose supplement. This led to a heated exchange to say the least. My advice, if they don't take this seriously is to change your GP.

Interestingly, in Ontario Canada, approximately 10 years ago, standard free bloodwork stopped including vitamin D on the panel. It became a patient expense, based on presuming most people had “enough”. And I believe that most people “trust” the medical system and forego paying for this vital information. It’s about $60.00. I’m wondering if it was a long range plan to prepare the population to become immune deficient therefore more reliant on pharmacy in the long run. Call me a theorist. But it’s just tooooo coincidental knowing what we do now and what’s happened in the last 4 years. I’ve never trusted the medical establishment.

Rechecked it and it was only 19. Researching, I added K2. Six months later, during the winter months, it went up to 54. Then to 81! My adult daughter went from 31 to 90 in 3 months of 5000 IU daily. K2 was the key for us. K2 and also vitamin A help with the absorption of D3. (That is why you find vitamins with “A,D,K.)

I heard of a study done on vitamin D absorption years ago. They found the same issue you experienced. They had the study participants consume D with the largest meal of the day. The outcome was great - they assumed the meals had enough fat (fat soluble supplement) to increase absorption. I have had 3 cardiac ablations for 4 types of arrhythmias. K2 can cause PAC’s - not the same as what I had but it makes me too nervous to take it. I eat a fair bit of red meat and green leafy vegetables. My last level, with supplementation, was 60 nanograms per deciliter.

I am always amused when a Physician admits any type of natural, non pharma needs. I am also surprised that with all of the massive, extensive education doctors posses that they often delayed in discovery of proper application for natural supplements. I notice that many hospitals now have specific doctors and departments assigned for supplement overuse. So Many People gobble up Vitamin D, with results of negative health issues due to not completing their study of the function and how it is properly distributed in our bodies, blood stream for it's purpose. Vitamin D, without the addition of Vitamin K is essentially worthless, and as stated often causes damage from over intake. Unfortunately, today's natural food sources of Vitamin K, chickens and their eggs are deficient in that vitamin due to being fed primarily off grains and not foraging of the natural greens. I am no physician and claim to know nothing, but do achieve great results for positive results of my health at the age of 75. I am never ill, have tons of energy, always active for at least 8-10 hours of assorted workings, not to forget being diagnosed with CML in 2004 and remaining in constant remission. The Real Shame is Western Medicine being Dependent on Big Pharma for treatments. In my lonely opinion; believe that all Physicians be mandated to study natural, vitamin, amino acids and diet for proper treatment of their patients ailments. Thank you for your honesty and hopeful help to others for the need of Vitamin K. Sometimes money won't repair a physical need.

Thank you for the detailed explanation about vitamin D. I do have a small critique regarding how you titled your video. Upon reading the title, it seemed as if you were going to discuss the dangers of vitamin D. I couldn't believe someone would challenge everything I thought I knew about the beneficial effects of maintaining the right vitamin D levels in the blood. That's why I clicked on the video. Fortunately, you ended up reiterating information I was already familiar with from other sources! I'm aware that many people only read the titles, and in this case, they could have gotten the wrong idea about vitamin D.

When I was in my 30's, I had a vit d level of 13 ml when I was first tested. I was on anxiety meds, anti depression meds, sleep meds, and HDHD meds. Under a holistic Dr's care, within 6 months, I was off all meds. This happened after supplementing with 10,000 IU daily, changing my diet by getting off soda, lowering carbs and getting more sun without sunscreen. What an interesting journey. I am so grateful to be off the meds and feel like a new person. On to a deeper dive into insulin resistance! Thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful.

The reason one has to reapply sunscreen after bathing is because (of course) it loses its efficacy after a time and washes off in seawater. I have also heard that the levels of chemicals from sunscreen are contributing to reef deterioration in Australia, where massive amounts of sunscreen are used. How factual this information is, l have been unable to determine with any amount of accuracy. I am also concerned about the sheer amount of cheicals being applied to the skin, when using sunscreen. Since becoming a ketovor, l have never burned in the sun, despite not using a sunscreen. I do, however, aclimatise myself very gradually to increasing levels of sun exposure throughout the spring and summer.

One major and important aspect that influences the dose someone would need and was not mentioned is body weight. Heavier people or people with more fatty tissue need higher doses to achieve the optimal level because the vitamin D is absorbed by fat.

I have been taking vitamin D3 and K2 since the Covid pandemic started to boost my immune system. Last week, I met up with a friend who had a cold. A few days later, I thought I was coming down with a cold, sneezing and coughing more than usual. That night, I started shivering in bed ( with an electric blanket on). The shivering was my immune system fighting the cold virus. Because the next day, I was symptom-free! In addition, I was going through menopause when I started taking Vitamin D and K2. I used to wake up sweating, even in the winter. The sweats have stopped because of the vitamin D, which helps to regulate your body temperature. So, to any woman considering going on HRT, try taking Vitamin D3 and K2.

I can't tell you how much I was ridiculed by doctors including the neurologist who ran multiple tests and said vitamin D has nothing to do with it. they caused me so much stress and I developed health anxiety which put me in a vicious cycle of symptoms. I still have low vitamin D, but man, did i feel so great when i was on the 50,000 IU every week for 3 months. My numbers went up to 18, I believe. My doctors gave up on me, and I went to see a therapist. It's been 2 years of fighting for my own health and sanity. I am so thankful for videos like this that affirm my research and conclusions. I was offered a muscle relaxer for my newfound migraines, and they didn't tell me it was actually depression medication. I specifically told them I did not want to take depression medication. I wanted answers and the root cause. I ended up having a severe reaction from it. All of this is to say.

Aside from vitamin D deficiency consider what Dr Ken Berry and Dr Anthony Chaffee recommend which is a carnivore diet of just fatty beef, butter, bacon and eggs. I’ve watched a lot of their videos and listened to their recommendations to people who have the same symptoms as you. Once the people eliminated ALL plant foods/spices/sugar/ALL sweeteners including so called “natural” and eliminated seed oils used in cooking ate only fatty beef which is the body’s optimal food their health issues disappeared and they felt good. Watch their videos and put into practice their recommendations for 90 days and experience what a difference it WILL make for you!

Probably one of your best videos ever (and you have some great ones).

Yet, never once has an MD requested my D level to be checked. I discovered it pretty much on my own. I'm the only family member to live far north and the only one with Type II, and when I spend even a few weeks in a sunny warm place in shorts and short sleeves, my BG is very much controlled - even with some bread and pasta (yes I know). So now winter setting in - the great dark north - I just upped my Vit D via liquid drops (capsules don't seem to allow good absorption) plus fish oil and cod liver oil. And my "pirate coffee" and 2MAD (noon and 6PM, animal protein, health fats, green veggies only). I'm giving it a couple months so too soon. BUT VERY Timely vid, thanks. You are great and inspiring!

You often start with a nonsensical 'catch phrase' then proceed to deconstruct the "non-sense", step by step... You remind me of my old school teachers whom I really loved and respected... good solid, structured knowledge, laid out and organized... all I had to do was "show up" and "take notes!" Thank you! The fact this is based on "current" knowledge is profound and insightful... I'm glad for real doctors and teachers like yourself...

Fantastic presentation. Thank you. I just got my blood work results last week and for the first time Vitamin D was included in my blood work. My reading was 39 ng/ml so technically "in range" but less than ideal. I was looking for how much to take in a supplement and came across this video. LOVE your all-encompassing explanation of how Vitamin D does or does not work in the body. Seems pretty straight-forward for me now. Take 5000 IU daily and get my blood checked in three months and see what my number is. With a starting point of 39, 5000 IU's a day is not going to push me into any kind of danger zone (>100) in three months. Thank you very much.

D3 levels above 80ng/mL causes greater gene expression that causes the body to use more magnesium, zinc and vitamin C. If low on magnesium then negative symptoms can occur, hence the D3 "toxicity. Ideal magnesium level is 6-6.8mg/dL based on the RBC Mg blood test. My D3 level is at 125ng/mL and my Mg is at 6.5mg/dL this in order to accelerate soft tissue repair (ligaments and cartilage).

After reading a study in February of this year I increased my vitamin D intake to 10,000 IU's every morning. I have had no bad side effects with this increase, and on a positive note, it seems to be helping my Arthritis. Be careful to limit how much calcium you get, though. High vitamin D with lots of calcium is known to cause hypercalcemia. That's bad news for your joints and can cause kidney stones. That's my personal experience.

Back in 1990 (33 years ago) I was detecting alone with manual VLF metal detector (Compass Gold Scanner) when I found a hard rock surface vein of gold that I hand chiselled out 12 oz (11.98 oz to be more exact) in kaolin and a translucent gray quartz with a small amount of rusted iron. I put it in my wash basin and a fellow put in a ball mill with mercury, squeeze it through leather chamois, and then put it in a kiln with borax to pour a bar for me. The last time that I went back there was in 2001 (22 years ago and haven’t been there since then) and it was still the same, nobody had done any more work on it leaving it untouched. I often thought someday I would like to go back there and take it down deeper to see if the vein continues on. There’s more to it than that but I have been caregiver for both of my parents, dad passed away last year. Now I’m free to go so I hope to go back there within the next year or two as long as I can sell the house first.

*Just one tiny criticism in an otherwise excellent video:* I don't think it was good to already warn people about potential toxicity at just 10000 IU. You corrected it later by mentioning the big individual variation and need to measure, but that was too strong of a warning imo at that point. I know alot of people who would get scared off by hearing that. The #1 danger in regards to Vitamin D is not taking enough of it. I know alot of people who need to take those 10000 or even more to reach optimum range, while I know not a single person who overshot at only 2000-4000. It's also not like it immediately becomes toxic the moment you go above 200nmol/l. From what I've seen in toxicity studies there's still quite a plateau above that where no negative effects can be detected, even with lab measurments. The chances that 10000 is already going to be toxic to somebody seems extremely unlikely. Individual extreme outliers always happen, but if it's rare a generalized warning like that without details can scare alot of people away and right now the average person is far far closer of taking too little Vitamin D than too much.

Too much vitamin D liberates calcium from the bones and ppl can get hypercalcemia which is dangerous. K2 helps decrease that risk as it helps to place the calcium where it’s needed. So yes there is such a thing of Vit D toxicity and it is real. Measure your levels and titrate, and take K2. If one is not increasing their Vit D status with supplementation then they probably need Magnesium because Mg helps Vit D’s bioavailability
@debra6765 Жыл бұрын
I take Vitamin D with K2 . The capsule is 10,000 IU, D3 250 mcg and K2 45mcg. I get a headache and so does my other family members. So I open capsule and take 1/3 of it with yogurt. It works well and keeps me from getting sick and overall health is good. You have to take D3 with K2 which breaks down the D vitamin . D2 doesn’t work the same.
@terryreese66311 ай бұрын
I went toxic high while consuming 5000 iu for a period of only a few months. I started at 11. The K2 added with the D3 product seemed to supercharge the absorption. It is something to watch for. I stopped all supplementation but have restarted at a 2500iu rate with a 200 K2. Much lower than the previous effort.

Then I took a 20,000 IU capsule daily for 6 months and finally my hydroxyD blood test came back with a reading of 75 (the range is 30-100). My doctor thought I should keep it there, and lower my dose to 5000 IUs per day. So I did, for 6 months. I had my blood test done again 3 days ago. After taking that 5,000 IUs a day for 6 months religiously, and I am now depleted again... 31 reading to be exact. All that work only to listen to a doctor and be back right where I started, smh. Should've listened to my body because I was gradually feeling tired and run down and achy and skin dry again, etc. So two days ago I'm now back at taking 50,000 IUs. Never again. Once I get it back up to between 70, 5 and 90, I'm going to take 20,000 a day and check it every 3 months. Because clearly I need well more than 5,000 a day to maintain a healthy D level in my body.

Love the comments. Thanks everyone for telling your truths. My daughter has a 27 and her Dr only said to give her a multivitamin. Nope, already started her on more D3 + K2. So disappointed in Western drs, but I know Rockefeller failed to train them on purpose to keep us weak.

I've been supplementing with D3+K2 (form Mk-7 mostly, some Mk-4 form). I've been looking for some good document on K2, which one to supplement with and the explanations. Have you seen anything on this? So far, I've been following the proportions in Thorne D3/K2 drops and Mercola D3/K2 capsules.
