Vitamin D reduces autoimmune disease

Come on government, change the out dated guidelines. John's text books, free downloads,

Vitamin D regulates a wide array of genes involved in inflammation and immunity,
inconsistently associated with reduced risk of several autoimmune diseases in observational studies
Active form of vitamin D regulates genes, inflammation, acquired and innate immune responses
Dietary marine derived long chain omega 3 fatty acids decrease systemic inflammation in some autoimmune diseases
Evidence is needed on whether omega 3 fatty acids lower the risk of developing autoimmune disease
Vitamin D and marine omega 3 fatty acid supplementation and incident autoimmune disease: VITAL randomized controlled trial
www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj-2...
To investigate whether vitamin D and marine derived long chain omega 3 fatty acids reduce autoimmune disease risk.
Vitamin D and omega 3 trial (VITAL), a nationwide (US), randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial
N = 25, 871
consisting of,
12, 786 men ≥50
13, 085 women ≥55
18,046 non- Hispanic white
5,106 black
2,152 as other racial and ethnic groups
Mean age was 67.1
INTERVENTIONS
Vitamin D (2000 IU/day) or placebo
Omega 3 fatty acids (1000 mg/day) or placebo
Participants self-reported all incident autoimmune diseases from baseline to a median of 5.3 years,
these diseases were confirmed by medical record review
In the vitamin D arm
Treatment group
123 developed an autoimmune disease
Placebo group
155 developed an autoimmune disease
Hazard ratio 0.78
P = 0.05
In the omega 3 fatty acids arm
Treatment group
130 developed an autoimmune disease
Placebo group
148 developed an autoimmune disease
P=0.19
CONCLUSIONS
Vitamin D supplementation for five years
with or without omega 3 fatty acids,
reduced autoimmune disease by 22%
Omega 3 fatty acid supplementation
with or without vitamin D,
reduced the autoimmune disease rate by 15%
(not statistically significant)
The clinical importance of this trial is high because these are well tolerated, non-toxic supplements,
and other effective treatments to reduce the incidence of autoimmune diseases are lacking
Autoimmune diseases

As usual, interesting and beneficial. I started 7 years ago supplementing with vit D (10 000 Ul) a day and omega 3. Hoping doing this to stop arthritis which was my problem. At that time I had asthma since 1980 and high blood pressure since the age of fifty. After three years, these two pathologies vanished, and in addition I stopped having any cold or influenza-like illness, which I used to have during winter time. I am not vaccinated because I had an anaphylactic shock three years ago at the end of a surgical operation and nearly died. I got the Delta variant end of December 2021 and the omicron BA2 mid February, each time in a mild form. My age : 80 years and in very good shape, (until now). My case goes along with your point.

As a retired marine engineer I have always been trained and worked to the mantra that prevention is better than cure. Therefore our maintainence was always preventative for instance, changing oils and filters within a certain running time. This meant that sea time was keep to a maximum as there was little break down maintenance caused by lack of maintenance. The same principle can be applied to many scenarios in life, such as the human body.

Fasting can help with your issues, if you are able to do it. Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: Fribrosis is reversed The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers over time with extended fasting and rise from dieting Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Is fasting just the same as caloric restriction? No! Dieting increases the hunger hormone ghrelin while fasting decreases it and has many other health benefits! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYfPXqGfoc2KgsU What breaks a fast? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZK1faZ5pd2sadE When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and builds muscle! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu4daiZd7ypatU Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJamkJp_h5eNZ5Y The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, it never uses mainly glucose for fuel and using glucose for fuel is very biochemically damaging! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJeUm6qDl9uBrtk Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OwaXqIr9h8f8k Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Fasting reverses metabolic syndrome, which is tightly correlated to Chronic Fatiguque Syndrome, high blood pressurecancer and many other chronic diseases. Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

My Dad's doctor put him on a higher dose of vitamin D3 back in the 1990s when Dad developed SAD (seasonal affective disorder -- in short, Dad began to suffer depression in winter when he got older). Being a caring dad, he urged me to start taking it while I was still young. Dad died last year at the age of 82, may he rest in peace. I've been taking vitamin D3 since he advised it, with my doctor's approval. I've actually had to change doctors a number of times due to moving long distance periodically, but each doctor has approved it. As I've aged, my current doctor and specialists really emphasize my continuing to take vitamin D3 supplements. I've never developed SAD or any autoimmune disease, and my immunity has overall been pretty good. As for fish oil, I was taking it until about 10 years ago, recommended for cardiovascular health. However, when I learned about the harvesting practices, not only the impact on the environment, but also including forced labor by shanghaied sailors (mostly from the Philippines), I stopped taking it. I heartily agree that it would be highly beneficial to farm the "seaweed" to produce the oil. By the way, if anyone would like to learn more about global advocacy for mariners, there is a Maritime organization that makes the issues known. I was a member back when I was working as a cook on American ships within US waters. We should be concerned for sailors because 90% of everything we use everyday comes to us via waterways, on ships. Either the whole finished product or components have been transported on the waterways.

Everyone is different, but for me turmeric was a lifesaver. The turmeric I take now has a little ginger in it too. But the 500mg turmeric by itself worked amazingly for me.

[@sjmiller6012]

Thanks for returning to benefits of Vit D and K2mk7. Have followed your wrk since early 2020. From memory, I think some of your international medical guests have echoed the benefits of Vit D. I was especially impressed with the Israel Dr. And an ethnic Indian appearing Dr; I think he was in South Africa. I would appreciate hearing from some of your past medical guests again.

When I had Coronavirus back in March I took lots of Vitamin D and it really helped. My illness was only moderate and I only had a few bouts of brain fog after my symptoms went away.

I have had multiple sclerosis since 1996. My neurologist put me on 10,000 units a day with 200 mg of k2. I have been doing this 2019 I have had very few flare ups and my brain lesions have shrunk. I caught covid in December 2021 got the monoclonal antibodies and was better in just a few days. I am at the best I have felt since 2000. I also take 2000 mg of fish oil along with a slew of other supplements

[@G.Man-]

Good on your neurologist for advising to take K2 alongside it, most wouldn't (have a clue)...

My next door neighbor has MS, and several years ago he had stem cell therapy. His MS has not progressed since then. Although it’s too bad he didn’t get it sooner. He is unable to walk now, but when I first met him, he was 6’5” and super strong.

I have a milder case of psoriasis on my ankles and I started to supplement vitamin D a few months ago. I spoke to a friend she is an academic nutrional scientist and she also told me about the importance of vitamin B. Especially older people often have a vitamin B deficiency. I supplement Vitamin D and B now and my psoriasis got so much better. It nearly is gone completely.

[@englishbullterrier847]

[@pebble100c]

Jean, similar to you, I have had red splotches on my legs as well as skin growths on my back from psoriasis for about a decade until this year. I noticed about 3 months ago that my legs were suddenly clear & my back's skin was much smoother. I have been taking B6 as one ingredient in an herbal pill for over a year & started large doses of D3 2 years ago to boost my immunity to the Covid. Now I take one 5000IU D3 pill per day. I have been wondering what the combination of things has been that has improved my psoriasis so much. I think we may be on to something!

[@jeanjacquesrousseau1955]

@@pebble100c There actually is some scientific evidence that Vitamin B plays a role in Psoriasis most of these studies are freaking old though. But there are some interviews from modern medical doctors who speak about it as legit treatment option in psoriasis but no modern studies. I looked a bit more into it and there are multiple different reasons why vitamin b plays a big role in anti inflammatory processes and psoriasis is about inflammation mainly. My academic nutrional friend told me that it is nearly impossible to risk a vitamin B overdose anyway. So I think we have good reasons to keep substituting that stuff in relatively high doses. :D

Diagnosed with MS about five years ago at age 65. I started taking high dose (8000 iu/day) D3, and I have had no MS symptoms since then. I was taking an MS med until the start of the pandemic when I had to stop because my CD4 T-cells were too low. Nothing but Vitamin D3 since then, and still symptom-free. Pre-vaccines Covid infection was pretty mild. So I highly recommend both vaccination and high-dose Vitamin D3. It would have been very interesting if this study had a moderate-dose and high-dose arm, to see if there was a dose-response curve.

[@stab74]

Vit D and green smoothies. Vax is worthless.

[@stuarthutt3740]

You may want to check out the Coimbra Protocol for MS. It's very high dose D3 up to 700,000iu depending on symptoms. I take 10,000iu D3 as a daily general supplement which is .25 mg. If you haven't had a 25 hydroxy blood test for D you may want to.

[@guygrotke8059]

@@stuarthutt3740 I've been keeping my Vitamin D blood level between 80 and 100 ng/ml for about three years now. Never took any huge dose, just 8000 - 10000 iu per day, every day. And I get it tested every six months or so, as well as taking Vitamin K2 and magnesium. I've seen a lot of studies where they supplement up to around 30 ng/ml. I wish one would include a 60 or 80 ng/ml arm, just to see if higher is even better. It certainly seems to be for me.

I have Crohn's Disease and it attacks my immune system and my immune system goes into overdrive. Last year my Consultant gave me Calcium and Vitamin D as a Chewable tablets twice a day. Because I was on a long course of steroids and when I had a resection operation back in May 2018 I was put on injection of Vitamin B12 and when we went in lockdown in my March 2020 my gastro Consultant put me on tablets for Vitamin B12. But I have still have Colds.

It needs to be stressed that D has to convert to its final, hormonal form in order to get into the cells. Those steps occur in the liver and the kidneys, so it's important that liver and kidney function are good. The reason that it might work is that D sits on the Inter lueken 2 receptor site, which controls auto-immune activity.
