Vitamin D and diabetes

[@nancygrogan6082]

You are exactly right about big pharma! It began in the medical schools with big pharma supplying the medical text books in medical schools, back in the early 1900's. We were using holistic and chiropractors until John Rockefeller came up with this brilliant idea to use pharmaceuticals & give free medical text books to the medical schools. With only one stipulation that doctor's be taught that only big pharma's PETROCHEMICAL based products could be used which caused the end of holistic medicine being used by most doctor's at the time. It was never about providing better health just using petroleum based pills and might help some people in the process but definitely no cures! The US is 4.25% of the world's population but we take 75% of all the pharmaceutical drugs. We are less healthy than most Asian countries although we have infiltrated their markets with a lot of unhealthy foods and drinks and of course push our legal drugs there too. We know herbs and organic natural foods will cure most aliments yet we have legalized drugs and our doctor's don't promote the use of herbs or true healthy foods. Our conventional medical doctors are complicit in just recommending drugs from the legal drug cartels although if they want to be a conventional doctor they have to prescribe only parmaceuticals because it's the "science!" Do you find it odd anything that is healthy always needs more scientific random controlled studies etc. etc. Why doesn't the government fund healthy foods or herbs that look promising? In a word, LOBBYIST!! We can't compete against big pharma... Funny how we started the war on cancer under the Nixon administration and cancer has skyrocketed since that time! The American cancer society, diabetes association etc are more about keeping their nonprofits in business than they are about a cure for diseases. It's all about "managed care," they would loose their funding with a cure. It's 100% about the Benjamin's. Of course it's a shame there are some very good people who mean well doctor's included but they are in a rigged system! The pandemic was a windfall for big pharma and that fact they can't be sued because the vaccines are still listed as an experimental is unbelievable!! Functional medical doctors in my opinion are the way to go, they try and find the root cause of a problem, instead of treating the symptoms like conventional docs do. I hope I shed some light to a few people with my ramblings! Thanks to "swainsongable"for initiating this conversation!

This is quite astonishing. For context, I’m an man in my early sixties. Three years ago I was pre diabetic, with a Blood Glucose test score of 6.4. I’ve been taking Vitamin D3, 2,500 iu per day, since February 2020, primarily to protect me from the worse effects of Covid. Recently I had my Vitamin D3 levels measured, I has a test result of 85. At this time, among other tests, I also had a HbA1c test done. My score had dropped down to 5.4. My GP was so impressed he rang me to congratulate me and ask me what I’d been doing to bring about this change. I told him I’d been swimming four days a week and taking Vitamin D3 daily. He seemed oblivious to the Vitamin D benefit, and said rather sceptically, “it must be the swimming that did it” I look forward to emailing him a link to your podcast this evening.

I then taught him an extreme keto diet (75% fats ... mostly olive, avocado or coconut oils, 15% proteins, and 15% "roughage". By the end of the 3rd week insulin needed was 0 (zero). 2 months later his A1C was down to 5.3 compared to 6.7 for the last 16 years. His doctors proclaimed him 'cured', no longer diabetic or even pre-diabetic. Prevent a diabetic relapse mainly requires less than 25 grams sugar or refined starches per day. Re; Vit D3, he has had monthly bouts of gout for 20+ years, yet upon taking 30,000 unit vit D3, his gout attack went away in 20 minutes, and has not returned in the 4 years since, while taking 30.000 units/day.

Vitamin D is arguably THE most important vitamin. It is involved in so many bodily functions and procedures. I believe it's critical to a healthy life. I take vitamin K2 and D3 in varying quantities (avg 7500IU a day) and I've been doing that for 10 years.

[@theancientsancients1769]

Good to know that, make sure you take it with vitamin K2 ( MK7 ) variant in the daytime and at a different time of the day ideally at night time before bed take magnesium which it needs to absorb also but magnesium can affect K2 absorption hence the different timing needed .. but all are needed. Most of us are magnesium deficient by the way. Things like reflux medication block it even more . I hope this helps

On the Sunday before my exam, I had one big meal that included eggs and veggies, and some meat. That meal ended at 2:45pm, and the rest of the day I was taking my Lime juice.

The information that you offered on vitamin D originally brought me to your channel in March 2020. For my family this clearer understanding of the role that quality sunlight (and the need to supplement when this sunlight is not available) plays in our health is the number one benefit that has come out of watching your channel during that period, and from the C-19 pandemic generally. When you cross reference the top pathologies associated with vitamin D deficiency (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cancer), the top pathologies suffered in deficient populations, and the prevalence of these deficiencies/pathologies in these populations (40-85% < 20 ng/mL) the picture becomes very clear. Eradicating Vitamin D deficiency is the low hanging fruit in a healthcare crisis! It is perhaps the most shameful scandal of our time that our public health officials have ignored these basic correlations and failed to develop strategies that could safely and effectively mitigate such massive suffering on a global scale with relative ease.

Vitamin D supplementation is not the lowest hanging fruit. Cutting out carbs is the lowest hanging fruit. No carbs, no diabetes. Vitamin D supplementation can reduce 15% of cases of diabetes. Carb reduction can reduce 99% of diabetes. Dr. Campbell id dead wrong about eating fruits and vegetables in order to help with diabetes. Diabetes revolves around glucose; you could call it chronic elevated glucose disease. Eating carbs elevates glucose (eating protein does too but to a much lesser degree). Glucose increase triggers insulin release. Eventually, if glucose levels remain high long enough, the body developes a resistance to the balancing effects of insulin and all sorts of health problems begin. But the root is eating carbs. It's not a nutrient deficiency that fruit and plants can solve.

If you increase D3 magnesium gets used by it so that's important to supplement for the nervous system as well as the bones and teeth. Probably best to take no or only little calcium. To much calcium is not good.

[@jfryer485]

Yes, a difficult problem. High sugar levels, so the obvious thing is to cut down the sugar. People with diabetes suffer from high sugar levels which is very harmful in your blood. But at the end of the day you have to choose between whether you think taking a handful of different drugs is the way to good health or improving your diet with good food and avoiding processed foods. I think people mention cutting down on foods so the body feels a little hungry at times and avoiding sugar at all costs if you think your body is not coping with it. Exercise is important too but again as we see with sports people this can be over done too. Life is a bit like walking a tightrope but listening to your body is important and then reacting to what it says and deciding whether you need a doctor or whether you can identify your bad habits. Smoking is big no no for me but it’s amazing how many believe in its good qualities And for many the pharmacy is their choice for their health as I find out when queuing up for dozens of medicines daily for other people. Personally if they relied on me they would go broke immediately.

[@MyName-tb9oz]

I also went undiagnosed for years. I didn't find out until I was out cutting grass and thought I was having a heart attack. Went to the hospital and found out my blood sugar was over 350 (That's US, not UK measure. For some reason it's done differently here...). Yes, I chalked up the fatigue to working 70-80 hours a week in a factory with a 60lbs for 12 hours minimum lift requirement. (On one shift I lifted 15,000 lbs. Three times.) If you don't know the symptoms of diabetes it's easy to write them off as working too hard or getting old or whatever else.

I had type 2 diabetes 2 years ago. After 2 years of lifestyle changes, my fasting blood glucose is now in the 60s. My condition was caused by lack of sleep, lack of daylight exposure (Vitamin D), eating processed food (Ramen anyone?), excessive carbs (lots of spaghettis and rice), eating late night snacks, lack of exercise, letting my work stress get to me, etc. Well, I fixed all that. Now at least my blood sugar is under control. As Dr. Campbell said, diabetes is no laughing matter. However, you may be able to beat it with a lot of lifestyle changes. Other than the higher expense of eating whole foods, the lifestyle changes are free.

Healthline reviewed the paper that Campbell cites and pointed out : The researchers noted that a decrease of 15% is lower than other type 2 prevention strategies: Intensive lifestyle modifications can lower the risk by 58% Metformin can reduce the risk by 31% So lifestyle changes are much more effective. Also they noted that 'After the trial ended, approximately 30% of the participants’ glucose levels returned to their levels before the study.'

Thank you so much bringing this to light.. 🙏🏼💜 something so simple and safe. I’m a RN case manager in the states and I see this first hand daily when I talk to our patients, when I review labs with them (after their physician has done that of course). I do find that we are testing the A1C a lot more in the recent years, and in younger patients now, I’ve seen it checked in patients in their 30s -which is excellent. One thing I encourage everyone to ask from their doctors.. I encourage them to request an insulin level-this shows how resistant or sensitive our cells are to sugar/glucose.. If fasting insulin is high, it means your cells are less sensitive to the effects of that insulin and your body makes more. This is the precursor to “pre-diabetes” , so in essence it’s the pre-prediabetes marker.. “Normal” fasting insulin is under 19, some labs will have under 20. Optimal level is under 8.. ** would love to hear a chat about insulin level and insulin sensitivity/resistance Dr Campbell..🤗🤓

Well I really hope people who watch this take note, you have just echoed a lot of what I have learnt over the last four mounths or so since finding out I am now diabetic. I diagnosed myself with a blood sugar meter bought off Amazon, there were various pointers that blood sugar was up the creek, thirst and peeing a lot. My GP eventually did a HbA1c test which came back as 72, 48 being diabetic. Now interestingly I was found to be Vit D deficient about five years ago and started supplimenting with D3 but I was also very over weight (17.5 stone and 5'10")so probably was not taking enough going by what you have just said. I now take 4000IU of D3 daily plus K2 and Magnisium, which I am sure I saw somewhere is required to matabolise vit D, please correct me if I am wrong. Now the bottom line is despite my GP rushing for the bottle of Metformin you can manage yourself if you have the will and you don't mind finger prick testing. In four months I have dropped three and half stone by eating very few carbs and time restricted eating. I measure frequently and am shocked how many things elevate blood sugar! Also there is sugar everywhere, its shocking. I now can't really consume bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, milk to list a few but have got my HbA1c down to 39. So my point is after all this is to say what I am doing is tough, Christmas was awful, if taking Vit D can help to this extent then just do it, dont cross the line as I have!! Thank you John, watched you for the last few years and you bring so much valuable information to people, keep it up!

I am so glad you are here doing what you're doing. Thank you so very much. You are helping people. Please don't stop. You give me hope that the compassion for humanity isn't lost and forgotten for those that can't afford it.

After watching your videos I started taking Vit D 8000ui per day. I feel better mentally but I have also found it helps My HBA1C Diabetes results in check too! Always struggled with my results regarding control but since starting vit D I have regularly met the control limits. Thank you x !

Good Job Dr. John Campbell.... I appreciate your efforts to inform us...

[@PatrickHutton]

Whilst Vitamin D should not be considered a health in a pill solution to unhealthy lifestyles it's very clear that we should be making sure we get our sunshine Vitamin in sufficient quantity.

I have Bateman's purpura & have to avoid sunlight. Same with my Arnold's neuralgia: no sunlight. And to think I adore the sun! :(

Thank you Dr. John, you just dropped a pearl of knowledge.

My Dr. Gave me a Vit D test about 10 years ago. I have been taking 2K during the summer and 5K during the winter since. I had very low D levels. Since supplementing I did notice a decrease in seasonal colds and flus.

Thank you Dr. Campbell. My mother had diabetes for many years. We were able to nearly completely control her diabetes, with the use of good food, and supplements. She ate a fairly low carb and anti inflammatory diet. She died at age 96, in 2020, because I was not able to obtain adequate medical care for her. She did not have COVID. She did not die from diabetes.

[@MusiqueMonsieur]

She was lucky to have you.

[@ritaking8827]

I’m so sorry for your loss, she was very blessed to have you.

[@bodee5653]

She didn't die because you couldn't obtain medical care,, she lived her full life because of you. You'll meet again.Loving family.

[@rubyoro0]

Oh wow! My mom gets pissed if someone messes with her diet. She doesn’t listen and even eats honey with tortillas.

Thank you! My sister was just diagnosed with Transient Global Amnesia. Her doctor gave her statins. Since statins contribute to diabetes, and D helps keep diabetes in check, your video is well timed. I'll let her know it might be good to watch her carb count more rigorously and up her D. I've sent her a link to this video. 🥰

[@vivianhull3317]

I read or heard a few years ago that statins 'may' contribute to dementia

[@fsocs369]

@@vivianhull3317 Thanks very much for bringing this to my attention. I'll do some research and send her the scientific papers.. :)

[@pepperjonesugoChristian]

My U. S. doctors failed to tell me to start taking vitamin d while I was diagnosed for pre-diabetes. I could have begun working proactively if I were told.

[@bexp748]

Just listened to yesterdays video from you and Boom another one. Thank you Dr Campbell you're a star 👍

I was 18st 4 lb 10 years ago and diagnosed type 2 diabetic, I was also not producing testosterone. As I have said to you before I have been taking D3 /K2 along with magnesium etc with the replacement of my testosterone with Sustanon 250 at 63 I am 11 st and fitter than I was at 40. Oh I stopped drinking 12 years ago as well. I have dropped 30% of my body weight and have maintained this with effort but that’s better than a bag of pills. Oh by the way the bummer is I am still diabetic. I could go on but your health is just that it’s your health. Back you 100%.

John you absolutely NEED to chat with Dr Pradip Jamnadas

I have Diabetes Mellitus (aka Type II aka T2D) and started taking large doses of Vitamin D back in the pandemic _thanks to the advice on this site._ When I did finally succumb to Covid, it was just a sniffle. I've kept up the VitD, alongside losing 30lbs, and walking a lot. My mother developed T2D in her late 60s, as did I and my identical twin (we're 71). There's a hereditary predisposition, as in so many diseases. Correct dietary changes can help the condition enormously.
