„Vitamin D - State of the art“ - Dr. Michael F. Holick in Vienna (English)

On April 22, 2016, the Biogena Academy invited the American Vitamin D expert to Vienna . Dr. Michael F. Holick explains in his presentation important information and facts about the valuable vitamin. This lecture formed the basis of subsequent discussion, with other experts of this special field. The whole lecture " Vitamin D - State of the art " you can watch online here.

Great video. My only comment is there’s no mention of some people not absorbing the vitamin d. My doctor put me on the 50,000 once a week with 1,200 the other 6 days/wk for 3 months. I asked to be retested after treatment and my level didn’t change one point. This continued treatment for 6 more months with the same result. I did some research after that and found that magnesium, vit D, k2, and calcium work together. Started with just magnesium and my levels double in about 6-8weeks. Maybe this might help someone.

[@herculeholmes504]

I'm dubious about this doctor. I've heard good things about vitamin D supplementation (and magnesium) but show me where in nature it has ever been natural for human beings or any animal under the Sun to consume such enormous quantities of calcium. I'm also baffled as to how he might explain - regarding vitamin D - how and why humans and animals have lived in regions of the World that have low levels of sunlight for much of the year since the dawn of time. BTW, you might want to check your vitamin B1 (thiamine).

[@carolfaron9345]

[@jonthebutcher]

Hercule Holmes what are your vitamin D levels? If they are low,supplement and re test. That's the only way you'll know where your up too with your levels. Most people's levels are low or they are deficient. It's not rocket science no matter where your from.

[@herculeholmes504]

@@jonthebutcher I've never tested my vitamin D levels, but I do sometimes take supplements - not every day, but maybe once every 3 days I take 2,000UI of D3. I've learned to be cautious of internet doctors because there are so many people who falsely use the title of "doctor" (which is legal in some parts of the World) despite having zero medical qualifications. If I lived in the USA I could proclaim myself to be a doctor, just not an M.D.

I have taken 5,000 to 15,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 almost every day for the past 20 years. It's one of the few vitamin/supplements I take where if I stop taking it for a few days, and then start taking it again, I'll definitely notice, especially in the wintertime, or if I haven't been outside for awhile.

Joe, yes, it needs to be D3 containing K. We can take the supplement, but what matters is, does it get to the proper place to help us. Also, magnesium glysinate builds bone density. I am proof. I was told I am D deficient 6 years ago. Went through 5 years of Reclast infusions. Doctor told me iy didn't help. I raised my vitamin D3 +K intake, after speaking with my doctor and she said fine. I also take two large tablets of magnesium glycinate daily. More Americans than not is lacking enough magnesium glycinate. I have also been on citracal for about 6 years. This years DEXA showed an increase in bone density. Good luck with your health.

Sunshine vitamin or steroid hormone was the most powerful medicine on earth given by our CREATOR. The best way to get vitamin D3 is through sun exposure. Go outside and get some sun, especially in the mid-day when it’s the strongest. However, many of us use sun block, which is good for our skin but not so helpful when it comes to the production of vitamin D3. By blocking out the UVA and UVB rays, sun block can interfere the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D3. GOD BLESS.

[@africkinamerican]

The "vitamin D experts" who banned vitamin D and the "dermatology community" (or the organizations they've allowed to speak for them) who fostered heliophobia among a sunlight-dependent species, rather than making recommendations on how to foster skin photoadaptation and recognizing the role of nutrition itself in fostering or preventing cancer, are responsible for countless illnesses and early deaths.

Vitamin D should of been compulsory tested before covid test. Too late now..... This would validate if there was a deficiency and if you got covid it was most likely to do with vitamin d levels being low. This would've been a great test to do. I wonder if the pharmaceutical companies knew all this and somehow amplified the effects of covid to pump out all these vaccines and later medical problems down the track so they gained financially producing all vaccines.

[@myown2101]

In order to emergency authorize drug/vaccine in US there should be no other treatment available or it can be authorized in conjunction with other treatment(s) if it does no harm. I think, it is accurate to say that a lot of practical cheap preventive measures and treatments were not just ignored, but actively threatened by pharmaceutical companies and our governmen, while Israeli doctors released plenty of data about D3 levels and covid mortality along with data about off label use of cheap effective drugs. When you mix medicine with politics, you get politics. Peace.

[@xmyxymx]

They did know. There were heaps of literature coming out as early as February-march 2020 suggesting vitamin d recommendations. The “experts” like CDC and pharma said nah nah it doesn’t help. Then the actual studies started coming out demonstrating vitamin D improves symptoms, acts as prevention etc - they said correlation doesn’t mean causation 🤦‍♀️ they knew it from the start, and they suppressed it on purpose. All experts who treated their patients with vitamins and mineral protocols - all were labeled “dangerous misinformation”. I watched it as it happened and was shocked. There’s a website that analysed more than 200 studies on vitamin D and Covid specifically, the absolute majority of them showed the benefit. The same applies to ivermectin which was suppressed. The whole pandemic was “accidentally on purpose” to push for vaccines - no doubt about it. We had the data on our hands how to treat Covid successfully from The start, but it wasn’t the goal. I say it with confidence because there’s no other way to explain it.

If you were to take one single nutritional supplement, you should choose Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). This vitamin does not replace all the nutrients needed for optimal health, but it is important to know it is a prehormone, a hormone precursor. There is not one tissue or cell in your entire body that doesn't contain cholecalciferol receptors. It is recommended to everyone to take 35IU / pound of weight / day.

Vitamin K2 deficiency can cause improper soft tissue calcification, which can cause atherosclerosis Evidence shows that vitamin K2 supplementation reduces vertebral fractures by 60% and hip and other fractures by 80%.

@@ebenburger111 Yes, it's true. As long as you expose yourself to the midday sun, without sunscreen for about 15 minutes EVERY DAY. If you are Caucasian then this should provide you with up to 20,000IU of vitamin D. However, this is not possible for darker skin types, hence the importance of vitamin D3 supplementation for better health. Vitamin D requirements vary widely. It is therefore important to check your level with a 25 (OH) D blood test. Based on recommendations from Dr. Holick and Dr. Cedric Garland - UCSD & Moores Cancer Center, SD, everyone, children and adults alike, should take 35IU of vitamin D3 per pound of weight daily.

Good info, but lacks one import point. D3 helps the body absorb calcium, which is good. What is not so good is the D3 doesn't tell calcium where to go. That's why you need to take Vit. K2, it tells calcium to go directly to bones and teeth, not soft tissue like arteries and organs like the heart or brain. Uncontrolled calcium hardens arteries and calcifies tissues in the brain which apparently are causing Parkinson's etc. Research K2 also, not just D3.

I learned so much. I took notes. I'll need to listen to this lecture at least six more times to let it all sink in. I am wondering whether there is a yin yang effect between vitamin D and melatonin. Melatonin is the chemical signal for darkness. Vitamin D is sunshine. Melatonin and vitamin D are both ancient molecules. Endogenous melatonin requires vitamin D during the day. Sunshine includes the blue wavelength. Melatonin production is shut down at night within 1.5 seconds of detection of blue wavelength by particular ganglionic cells of the retina immediately signaling the SCN. The SCN interprets blue wavelength as day and lack of blue as night. Melatonin is an anti-carcinogen and antioxidant and is capable of switching a cancerous cell into a normal cell through the mitochondria. I can see how melatonin depends on a reliable source of vitamin D. I don't know if vitamin D requires a dependable source of melatonin to complete its missions. I can't wait to learn more!-- Audrey in Chicago

I'm 50 yrs old. I have had both hips and both knees completely replaced and a wrist reconstruction all within the last 10 months due to rare terrible arthritis and abuse. I am completely recovered, can walk without any limp or pain and restarting my life today. I attribute it all to my vitamin D daily intake I started prior to the very invasive year I indured. I take 5000 IU/d. Btw, zero complications. My wrist reconstruction was due to a fall a few weeks after my 1st hip replacement. That was fun! 🙄

[@didyuknow]

many doctors recommend supplementation with vit. K when supplementing vit. D to avoid calcium deposit in the veins. Supposedly vit. K helps the calcium to get deposited in the bones and therefore there is no excess floating around in the blood sticking to cholesterol in the veins.

Could you please cite 1 or 2 of these docs, diduknow?

[@Mithril_Antimarr]

vitamin k2 should be taken regularly (ideally at the same time of day as vit d3 supplements), also consider taking with a magnesium supplement as well at the same time of day, the magnesium you get in a multivitamin is likely inadequate

Hi. I have low vitamin d storage (25-OH) it's ar 26. I ran across someone who said this shouldn't matter--that the storage vitamin d is a useless measurement and that nobody is really deficient in vitamin d, then they told me to check my 1,25-OH (the active form) and they "bet" it will be normal or high. Therefore I am not deficient. What are your thoughts on this? What is the significance of having a higher storage that's deactivated and health? I'm incredibly confused on what to believe now. Thanks!!!

20 mins. in the sun while walking, three times a week...vitamin D3 supplement

[@franciscoballesteros2059]

Sunshine vitamin or steroid hormone was the most powerful medicine on earth given by our CREATOR. The best way to get vitamin D3 is through sun exposure. Go outside and get some sun, especially in the mid-day when it’s the strongest. However, many of us use sun block, which is good for our skin but not so helpful when it comes to the production of vitamin D3. By blocking out the UVA and UVB rays, sun block can interfere the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D3. GOD BLESS.

[@randomcole619]

D2 is toxic in higher amounts than D3, D3 is also more bioavailable, it makes no sense that doctors prescribe the worst version of these vitamins…

[@GregMeadMaker]

Does that mean that 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. is the optimal time to take vitamin D supplements to mimic nature? Referencing 22min22sec mark stating optimal time of day the body can make vitamin D provided the proper angle of the sun. --Audrey in Chicago

[@JCX-9]

You can also take a weekly supply of vitamin D3 in one day. Than you don’t have to think about taking it for the whole week. I read this in one of the D3 books it might have been Dr. Hollicks book not sure now as i have 2 books about D3.

[@mitchb4084]

Didn't you sort of angle your thesis of the sun at 32? It is 36 -37 that would raise it to almost N.Y. or atleast virginia. Big difference

[@jeffb3581]

Actually there is no such thing as Vitamin D3 toxicity!! WHat doctors call Vit D toxicity are actually Vitamin K2 and /or ,magnesium deficeincy symptoms. Vitamin D3 itself is completely no tooxic it only causes its co factors to be used up more quickly ..Vitamin K2 deficeincy leads to excess calium in the blood, this takes about 5 to 6 months of high d3 dosing. Immiediate "toxicity" symptoms such as dizziness, falls , panic attacks, heart arythmias, tachycardia (heart racing), anxiety, insomnia, constipation, blood pressure changes etc...are just symptoms of an aggravated underlying magnesium deficiency. 80% of us are magnesium deficient and doctors don't test for it-the blood test is worthless as only 1% of magnesium is in our blood and it is tightly controlled. Holik mentions thjat peple living at higher elevations make more d3 due to les ozone....this is nto quite the case, as the air gets thinner , it blocks less UVB rays so the sun at a 10,000 foot elevation is anywhere 40 to 70% stronger UVB rays than at sea level. Want the goo information check out the JeffTbowles tod moc (backwards) information source.

Vit D level is highly dependent on behavior. Your latitude or altitude only matter if you actually go outside when the sun is shining which might be never for some people. I work third shift a lot and I might not see sunshine for a month or more at a time.

Hit there thanks for your info. Question though. You stated you cannot get vit D Deficiency from taking a statin drug because statins don’t get in your skin. My question would be doesn’t statins inhibit the liver from producing cholesterol there by the skin being deficient in cholesterol ultimately not able to convert to vitamin D ?

[@leighwalton8190]

Statin induced myositis is being increasingly diagnosed. I have polymyositis which I believe was due directly to exceedingly low level of vit D3 which happened when I took high dose of vit k2 without taking extra D3 as they work synergistically. The mainstream answer to reduce creatine kinase level in the blood is to take immune suppressants such as mycophenolate or methotrexate. This suppression of the immune system does not cure the myositis of course and also suppresses the liver. I haven't seen anything but negative results from long term statin use. There are important co factors for VitD3 this video does not cover. Watch Jeff T Bowles in 'the miracle of high dose vit D' Fit FX on YT.
