The "Vitamin D Sweet Spot" and Its Relationship To Aging

[@MacGuyver85]

Wait till you figure out people were testing with vitamin A and D against the common cold in 1941... It's maddening how vast the gap between the available research and the application is. What will really blow your mind is realizing what is causing a massive drain of vitamin D (and other nutrients) even for people that get a lot of sun: eating plant seeds; grains, nuts, beans and their oils. Oh and vit A/D along with K can prevent and actually cure a lot of cancers. Has been known for over 40 years. And yet...

[@denarjan]

Naptown Squid, y're a snob. The nineteenth-century bourgeoisie used morality to assert class dominance - something elites still do today. The word Victorian tends to evoke old-fashioned ideas: women confined in corsets, strict gender roles, and a prudishness about all things sexual. In a world where conspicuous consumerism and self-expression rule, these nineteenth-century notions of self-restraint and self-denial seem hopelessly outdated. But the Victorian ethos is not dead, not by a long shot. It lives on, manifesting itself in our contemporary upper middle class’s behavior. While some aspects have gone the way of the waistcoat, the belief that the bourgeoisie holds a place of moral superiority over the other classes persists. Today, spin classes, artisanal food, and the college application process have replaced Sunday promenades, evening lectures, and weekly salons. But make no mistake, they serve the same purpose: transforming class privilege into individual virtue, thereby shoring up social dominance. www.jacobinmag.com/2016/10/victorian-values-fitness-organic-wealth-parenthood

I'm a New Zealand dairy farmer. A few years ago I got sick with Crohns - incurable according to Drs, nearly killed me. Turns out I was working too hard, not getting enough sleep and eating way too much sugar+processed carbs+sugary juice. It was easy for me on the farm to switch to a diet of meat+veges - I grow kale outside, it's easy. I get lots of sun because I work outside. I find the farming lifestyle is really good for health - seems like a lot of government and environmentally minded people want to destroy this way of life.

[@marsmarv]

Crohns - as I learned through various books and MD’s online presentations it is autoimmune response to animal proteins particulary dairy, plus there is a common Crohns equivalent in dairy cows and there are almost 60% sick in most dairy farms, so the bacteria that causes it gets into dairy products, so it is best to stick to veggies for life or at least until you recover in full.

[@rosemarie999]

Animal agriculture is not good for anything, especially the animals. Switch to growing vegetables

[@GregVidua]

New Zealand's government now recommends whole foods plant based diet for all citizens and hospitals for both environmental and health reasons so I'm not sure who told you to have bad sleep hygiene or to eat processed carbs and drink sugary juice. Maybe scam companies have but your government is actually very sensible. Farming can be done environmentally friendly. Consider or plan switching to permaculture plant based farming as your government will definitely start punishing dairy farmers in next years - being one of highest CO2 and pollution emitters in NZ (and across the World). Nothing against you Damo - just your business model is not sustainable at the current and growing scale of human population anymore. But you can still continue doing what you enjoy and be very healthy.

[@GregVidua]

@Johannes Liechtenauer it's not unpopular, it's just not viable. Look at any developed nation - they stop breeding as they get richer and smarter naturally - with no laws needed to support that. At the same time though as people get richer they buy more cars, eat more meat and such. Limiting developed countries would be crippling as they already have too little children even when some have 4 or 5. Limiting developing countries would be crippling as they need a lot of hands and minds to get to higher level. As long as education levels are high and everybody is environmentally conscious we can have much larger population and be just fine.

I'm a fan of this woman as well. It seems she understands the language of the data which will answer our biggest concerns instead of being an educational snob, and sh won't go on too long before getting to some measurements, examples, or useful action descriptions that we can actually understand... and I'm one of those slow thinkers that feels lost even when he's almost got it. I want to know everything immediately, so if something like serum levels isn't every day banter for me, I tend to want that explained as well, even though with time I usually can realize something like "oh yeah, that's probably that data the doctor gives but doesn't explain very well". The only thing I would possibly change (okay fans of the doctor, go ahead and jump my ass for criticizing-- I know these are the days when experts can do no wrong), would be to add some fabric to that room if used again for commentary. The harsh bouncing of vocals makes it sound almost like she's two ticks away from shouting or scolding somebody. It's only on a string of two or three words, maybe one word at times, but sometimes only her nice face makes me remember I'm not getting balled out by a teacher. It doesn't sound like that on Joe's podcast, as they're probably using some top dollar Audio-Technica or range of mics way up there that I've never heard of. Anyway, thanks for the info, as it will probably make a difference even though I fell on bad luck with my health a few years back. I need all the help I can get, and though the measuring with blood etc.. to get the sweet spot with D sounds tedious, I'll go for the default level or try to get to the doc and find out if my supplements have helped at all.

[@jan-bean]

using suncreen everytime you go out is essential-- if you are so keen on anti aging it is one of the only proven methods that reduces aging. She mentioned that wearing sunscreen prevents vitamin D absorbtion, but most people who wear it on a daily basis do not wear enough for it to be significant. And most only wear it on their face, or neck on a daily basis so there are other surface areas that are free of product. There are many studies that show that it does not inhibit vitamin D absorption. Here are a couple, onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/bjd.17888 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30945275/ There are some alterate opinions but usually they talk about EXTREME use of sunscreen, to where people will even fail to go outdoors and will lather it on every 2 hours with a very high spf. But pretty much nobody does this. The average person does not have to worry. I think the problem is less about sunscreen use, and more about the fact that less people go outside in general, and less people eat healthier food. Anyways, most people fail to wear sunscreen everyday. Almost nobody I know wears it on a daily basis, even though they should. Taking proper care of your skin isn't to blame :).

[@rafaelortega1376]

I used several blood test to find mathematically this sweet spot for my wife. The conclusion was to take a pill of 16 thousand units every 10 days was perfect for both summer and winter (we live in the South of Spain and yet almost everyone we now that has been tested has too lower levels, meaning < 30 ng/ml and even lower than 20). That maintains the levels between 60-65 nanograms/ml (she was under 20 before). I follow the same regime and I am also maintaining my levels in that range. My doctor has changed from prescribing 1 of those pills peer month to 1 every two weeks and his patients are getting much better results. We also found that many supplements do not work at all. I took one supplement of 2000 units/pill everyday and not even taken 4 of those per day had any effect in raising my vitamin D levels after more than a month. We tried others with the same result. It is not only the substance but how it is presented and how it has been preserved. Magnesium seems to help with not exeding the upper bound of the healthy range. In summary, based on my experience and without any degree in biology or medicine (I am a physicist) I would recommend to give a try to take a supplement that has been preserved in a cold, dark and dry environment (a pharmacy would guarantee that in contrast to a parapharmacy) and that is presented as a soft pill (mines are like a rugby ball in shape and 6 mm approximately) and take one of those every week or two weeks (you could alternate) with a daily supplement of magnesium and k3 for added benefits.

[@MacGuyver85]

Eating mature plant seeds and their seed oils drain your vitamin D (among several other things) because they're toxic and continuously trigger your immune system, which needs vitamin D. So no grains (except white rice), no nuts, no beans (except peas and green beans as they're immature). Carbs need to come from what was in our original diet: tubers and roots like (sweet) potatoes, cassava etc.. The only major exception is white rice, although you're missing out on the potassium which is another possible problem. If you're thinking; no thanks I'll just supplement vitamin D and not change my diet; doesn't work, as your body still has to work its way through all the poisons every day which will cause problems no matter what your vit D blood level. If you're wondering why seeds are poisonous: simple, they evolved to be as unappealing to be eaten as possible because they're for plants to reproduce, not to be food for animals like humans. And since plants can't run away they have to resort to chemical warfare: natural pesticides that are poisonous to us (we're the pests!). So it's no surprise at all that even people in Spain have insufficient vitamin D levels. Magnesium is crucial to be brought up to level along with vitamin D as magnesium is needed in the conversion of vit D to its active forms. If you have trouble getting your vitamin D levels up it's most likely because of a magnesium deficiency which is also extremely common. Be sure to get sufficient vitamin A in your diet as well because vitamin A/D and K are very dependent on each other and meant to be kept at sufficient levels. There are other cofactors like vit B2, zinc etc that are involved in the processes as well. Basically: make sure you cover as many nutrients as possible, preferably from food and you'll increase your chances of success and health considerably. It's going to take a while for people to realize and accept that most plant seeds are poisonous to humans and a major reason so many people suffer and die horribly on a "Western" diet! Good luck out there!

My face is particularly oily b/c of working outside and sweating a lot, but it does seem to help with keeping the skin smooth and tight. I also think this is why women who wear lots of makeup often have trash skin and look terrible without it. Their skin never sees the sun and the skin suffers b/c of it.

So the best is to not take any supplements, especially in Summer's stronger sun, which is about 4 to 6 months a year, but it could be less than that, depending on which latitude in NZ or in any country. And to sunbathe from about the beginning of Spring through Summer until about the beginning of Autumn / Fall. And then for the about 6 to 8 months of weak sun in Winter etc to buy a phototherapy device that gives UVB, which costs US$1800 incl courier, which is about NZ$2000 to $NZ2500, depending on NZ govt import taxes eg GST, customs duty, etc. That device is not a tanning bed which gives UVA and no Vit D.

Vitamin D3, cholecalciferol, is a toxin. It is used as a rat poison. My doctors had been urging me for years to supplement with D3 for years and after I started to feel like I was dying (which turned out to e due to glyphosate poisoning from the non-GMO (but not organic) beans and grains I was eating) a doctor pointed out my D3 levels were far below the lowest they should ever be. So, I started supplementing with D3, taking 1 5000 IU capsule/day. After about 1 or 2 years of that I started to notice pronounced signs of aging. Prior to starting the vitamin D3 supplementation I looked like I was in my 20's although in my 40's. After discovering D3 is used as rat poison I stopped taking the D3 and the signs of aging have greatly diminished. To be fair, it may be I wasn't balancing the vitamin D3 with vitamin K (or magnesium). You definitely need to balance vitamin D3 with vitamin K to prevent being poisoned. Personally, I tend to believe vitamin D3 isn't truly essential. I believe the claim that it is essential is propaganda intended to reduce population. I feel fine without it as long as I eat properly and avoid foods which contain roundup AKA glyphosate such as beans and grains (even if they are non-GMO because they use glyphosate to kill and dry out beans and grains just before harvest to increase harvest yield; only organic foods are guaranteed to be free of glyphosate).

@@japanluv Now in winter it is more difficult to get sun light but sunlight is the key to increasing levels of Vitamin d. The indoor lifestyle combined with a high carbohydrate processed diet is creating the vast majority of health problems. Even in the past were people smoked and drank alcohol regularly and ate sugar had far better health outcomes than todays populations.

Momentarily, but not long term. Pearls are better and cheaper for get your D3 level up. Can be taken weekly together or daily.

Thanks Dr. Patrick, as I follow you and Dr. Ames, and I do test Vit D twice a year ... also a big fan of Dr. Seneff and current thinking on "Cholesterol Deficiency" and sulfur. And of course, Dr.'s Noakes, Fettke, Lustig, etc ... 70 Going On 100

Vitamin D overdosing is mostly talik and actual harm is very rare. The health guru Gary Null accidentally took millions of ius of D3 per day for months. Yes, he got quite sick and quit taking D vit D and fully regained his health. The perils of vitamin D deficiency greatly overshadows the perils of vitamin D overdosing.

How did he accidentally ingest too much?

@@LastDays7 In 2010 TV health supplement guru, Gary Null, overdosed on his own brand vitamin D3. The supplement was manufactured with way too high a dose and was mis-labled. Null was unknowingly taking several million IU of D3 each day for months. He became quite ill. His doctors simply took him off D3 for several months until his blood level returned to normal. He suffered no permanent injury.

I can feel my vitamin "D" levels rising every time I watch Dr Rhonda.
