It could also be another reversed causation: People that are in constant pain/discomfort might also not go outside in the sun that often, which then could cause lower vitamin D status, at least on a population scale.

[@josho.9530]

Location, shade, cloud cover, weather, angle, pollution, etc ALL effect how much sunlight someone actually gets. Most people have a D deficiency even here in Texas due to aforementioned factors. So the idea just going outside to get D is not entirely favorable. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3257661/

[@kestag2110]

I have fibromyalgia and found what has helped me the most is exercise. I know my limits, but the stronger I am the more I’ve been able to stretch those limits in regards to energy levels, recovery and flare ups. I do take vit d but for other things not fibromyalgia. If it’s beneficial great for someone to say that fibromyalgia doesn’t exist, it’s insulting.

[@josho.9530]

Gary Brecka is an insult to humanity and intelligence.

[@Sarahizahhsum]

I have fibro and found a combo of supplements, diet, and exercise helped get rid of my symptoms. These gurus are close to the truth, its kinda the right direction, but its always so oversensationalized and wrong. Vitamin D supplementation (I was deficient), helped my mood and joint health more than my nerve pain. We all have unique genes and mutations and deficiencies (even an exercise deficiency which most Americans suffer from) can present in SO many different ways. Its unbelievably complicated!

[@deborahjordahl9040]

He is not saying that the pain does not exist and that the pain is not real. He’s saying it’s a label that they’ve slapped on some thing but it’s actually a deficiency syndrome, which is what causes the pain symptoms. He’s trying to tell the world that giving something a label is nothing but a label the disease may be a deficiency of vitamin D, not saying the people don’t have it he’s saying they have a deficiency which causes the pain that makes it not a disease that makes a deficiency

And this is why I do a lot of reading and am very selective about social media BS.

[@Dionysus_Athena]

Thank you Dr Layne Norton, I have Chronic pain due to a spinal injury, PTSD, Severe Depressive Disorder, Tinnitus, Fibromyalgia and sleep apnea. I was diagnosed in that order. All these bs fad diets that get peoples hopes up, I’ve tried them all and I’ll say this the evidence suggest a balanced diet is best. I’d say if the diets like carnivore get rid of fibromyalgia then it most likely is either, purely a placebo effect, or they never had fibromyalgia. I’ve tried lots and I mean lots of things to combat this illness. Radio frequency, pain meds, stimulator devices, lots of medications. In the end doing my own TRT and HRT protocol worked best. Along with peptides, and I’ve just started high doses of vitamin/nootropic/minerals IM injections. Some I do daily others like vitamin D3 is a 4month shot. B12 I do everyday. I’ve noticed huge differences from this alone. I recommend people do their own research, I know for a fact that my life span is already shortened by these illnesses, so trading in a few years for me to have a few good years with my son is well worth it. I’d rather die on my feet than in a bed of old age and in tremendous pain. I train extremely hard so that my son knows a strong will can overcome anything. I’m 6ft 2” 125kg as of today. I train heavy every session I have at the gym, to the point on leg days I need at least one day off before and after. I’ve had people say I don’t have those illnesses because of the weight I lift. I never said it was easy getting to this point, it’s difficult everyday but I persevere. Don’t listen to fools who don’t know what they’re talking about. Remember that Fibromyalgia is not quite an immune disorder, your antibodies do stick to the muscle fibres and nerve endings this is what potentially causes the high pain, fatigue. It’s also a mitochondria issue and you need to take things that support mitochondrial DNA.

[@SLude480]

@@Dionysus_Athena probably not but it would effect your hormonal imbalances- and if you’ve found those improvements cascaded into assisting pain, well…. I couldn’t tolerate the cpap but a mouth guard that moves your lower jaw forward to keep your airway unobstructed has worked great for me.

@@SLude480 I think they’re allowing me to trial the mouth guard and different machine types. I definitely hear you on the hormonal imbalances. I noticed a huge improvement with TRT, however whenever my sleep was extra terrible my head felt massively unbalanced. I can’t wait to have these devices and hopefully much better sleep quality. It’s gotten to the point I wake up to my own snoring also. Thanks for the advice.

[@amypetersen1668]

I have fibromyalgia and IBS. I also take a vitamin D supplement because my doctor tested me and my levels were too low (we live far north with long winters that have very little sun). The vitamin D has not helped either condition. There are things that do help but it’s not that. Thank you for dispelling the false info he gives.

This is the only show with name Gary Brecka in it I can watch :D

[@AuthorDiCristofano]

I recently had a mild stroke at 50. The neurologist and doctors aren't sure why it occurred since my biomarkers were all good. I am a little over weight, but I'm still muscular for my age. As of right now I'm doing my best to slim down with weight training and walking, while eating a balanced diet. The reason I'm subjecting you to this diatribe is because the shock or trauma of the stroke has caused me to have IBS, as well as exacerbating my depression issues. I do think there is a something of a correlation between depression, anxiety and their impact on acute and chronic inflammation. Especially when you factor in placebo. The mind can heal and destroy, Anyway, what I'm getting at is that Vitamin D deficiency can cause a host of problems from mood changes to joint pain, and maybe just being sufficient can remedy some of the symptoms brought up in Gary's blanket statement. I'm not defending Gary's spiel, and even though I take Vitamin D supplementation I'm not sure of its efficacy, but I do notice that I feel better when my body is producing Vitamin D through sun exposure. Obviously, this anecdotal.

[@kayally]

I have ‘ME/CFS’ and I believe that I’ve been diagnosed with this following the NHS’ clueless flowchart. They diagnose people with this condition as they cannot find a definitive diagnosis. What Gary is saying is kind of right, it doesn’t exist, it’s just a generic name for ‘f*ck off it’s too complex’ they just don’t look deep enough into the persons genetic, hormone or vitamin profile. Most people with fibro or CFS will actually have a different root cause and it’ll only require a little tweak. I’m doing my own research on my own body and so my answers won’t necessarily help others. I do believe Gary knows his 💩 and I’m hoping to find my tweak and by this time next year have my life back 😁

But there are studies that shows a link in human studies, and one that explains the mechanism behind the VD affecting IBS syndrome. 🤷 The efficacy of vitamin D supplementation for irritable bowel syndrome: a systematic review with meta-analysis Hangkai Huang, Linjie Lu, Yishu Chen, Yan Zeng & Chengfu Xu Results We included four randomized, placebo-controlled trials involving 335 participants. The differences in IBS-SSS score between participants in the intervention group and the placebo group increased after intervention (WMD: -55.55, 95% CI: -70.22 to -40.87, I2 = 53.7%, after intervention; WMD: -3.17, 95% CI: -18.15 to 11.81, I2 = 0.0%, before intervention). Participants receiving vitamin D supplementation showed greater improvement in IBS-SSS after intervention than participants receiving placebo treatment (WMD: -84.21, 95% CI: -111.38 to -57.05, I2 = 73.2%; WMD: -28.29, 95% CI: -49.95 to -6.62, I2 = 46.6%, respectively). Vitamin D supplementation was also superior to placebo in IBS-QoL improvement (WMD: 14.98, 95% CI: 12.06 to 17.90, I2 = 0.0%; WMD: 6.55, 95% CI: -2.23 to 15.33, I2 = 82.7%, respectively). Sensitivity analyses revealed an unstable pooled effect on IBS-TS in participants receiving vitamin D supplementation. Therefore, we did not evaluate the efficacy of vitamin D intervention in IBS-TS.

At the same time, VD can increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut, inhibit the inflammatory response, inhibit Th1/Th17 cells, stimulate Treg cells, and relieve the mental state of patients. However, the experiment of VD on IBS in the community population is more complicated, which increases the difficulty of the investigation and reduces the accuracy of the results. Hence, the treatment of VD on IBS is still controversial. In the future, it is necessary to carry out epidemiological studies on the relationship between VD and IBS, clinical studies on the efficacy of supplementing VD to improve IBS, and animal studies on the mechanism of VD improving IBS. Vitamin D improves irritable bowel syndrome symptoms: A meta-analysis Chenxi Yan, Chenmin Hu, Xiaolong Chen, Xinyi Jia, Zhenya Zhu, Diya Ye, Yuhao Wu, Rui Guo, Mizu Jiang Results The meta-analysis including 6 randomized controlled trials (RCT) with 572 patients found a significant difference in IBS symptom severity score (WMD, −34.88; 95% CI, −62.48 to −7.27; P = 0.013; random-effects model) but no significant difference in IBS quality of life score (WMD, 3.33; 95% CI, −5.12 to −11.77; P = 0.440; random-effects model).

I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease/herniation and besides all the meds I was prescribed to manage pain, which I didn't take anyway, the physician added vitamin D3 to the list, which I was defecient in. Not sure if it was placebo but after 3 month of regular use, I was able to tolerate certain exercises better. Before the D3 I would be in a lot of pain doing anything weight bearing. I'm more inclined to think the rest and lighter weight contributed more to the healing process than vitamin D3.

[@Dionysus_Athena]

I doubt it was the placebo effect so long as you had one in high bioavailability. For myself I only take injections of vitamins. I’d rather have too much (of the ones that can’t harm you) than too little. You should have a look into other vitamin shots, b12 is a good one, there’s a protocol of a shot everyday for a week, then every week for a month then once a month. Try eating wild caught Salmon it may help with pain relief. For me and my discs when I eat salmon I get huge pain relief.

Ngl fibromyalgia is a "diagnosis" physicians give you when they have no explanation for what's wrong with you. People seem to feel better when the problem they have has a name to it. So to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia you have to have specific trigger points located at certain places in the body and widespread pain for 3 months or greater. Not saying there's nothing wrong with people with fibromyalgia but I do it's not a real diagnosis. A lot of doctors just don't know what else to diagnose you with or automatically call it fibromyalgia when they think it's "all in your head." So while I see what he was getting at, he took a sliver of truth and expanded upon it with a lot of BS.

[@facetembyc1540]

I thought about question that you might make a video about if you haven't already (I couldn't find out one about this topic). The question is "what is the minimum effort/volume/percentage of your normal training regimen for muscle maintance" Let's say you do chest 2 times per week (each trening 2 exercises 6-8 reps, 3 sets each 1-3 RIR, pace 4010). If you are pleased with your muscle hypertrophy and just want to maintain it let's say to no less than 85% but don't have as much time for training as you did before - how much of the traning can you cut out? Will staying with one exercise will be enough or would it be better to do 2 sets of each, or maybe you can lower the weight and do these exercises faster (pace 2010) and with lower overall volume, or one training per week will be better option. Finally should it be time limited i.e. no more than 8 weeks because after that muscle will nonetheless shrink compared to the before training schedule.

The twist he puts on it is- the placebo effect and the general beneficial qualities of the advice he generally gives makes just enough people feel just better enough regardless of the condition to let him maintain a rep for knowing what he’s talking about despite what he’s talking having nothing to do with the condition at all. He and all these guys, they’re fortune tellers. They take money to give fortune cookie advice, except instead of spirits and tarot cards for patter, it’s technobabble And there’s my bit for the algorithm 😂

Great job on twisting the message that Gary is sending and tooting your horn once again. We know that fibro is a mysterious disease and Gary is accurate in the way he described that. You are great at misunderstanding and twisting the truth just about every chance you get. Great job Layme!

I knews Brecka was full of shit when listening to him on Rogan

[@EdenVI]

Anything Brecka says is nonsense. You know how he is lying? His mouth is moving. If you see him shilling something you have the clearest signal ever not to do it.

I see Gary is marketing hydrogen water. Water where he adds hydrogen.
