Writing in from India. I want to thank Dr Campbell for highlighting the Vitamin D importance. I was able to increase my vitamin D3 value from 14.9 to 54 in 65 days, by siting barechested in the sun everyday for 30 minutes, for the last 2 months and supplementing with D3 capsules 6000 iu, taken at breakfast time, with foods that I made sure contained fat. Tks a million. Feeling great.

@@jasontan6013 I am fairly light brown skinned . Sunscreen would defeat the purpose in my opinion. Besides it is only 30 minutes exposure to the morning sun, around 7-7:30 morning. Amazingly, my joints also loosened up . I am 59 years old, with no other health issues.

About 9 years ago I found out through testing that my vitamin d level was 8. I'm in the US and had been deemed disabled, following 2 spine surgeries, a medication induced renal tubal disorder that put me in hospital for 9 days I was in pretty sad shape. It took a few years of daily supplementation of D3 to get my level back to the 80s. I take 10k d3 daily. I'm in my mid 60s but I feel so much better than I did in my 40s when my body was crashing and falling to pieces. I haven't had a cold in years. Anxiety is gone, depression is gone.

He'd suffered from depression since his teenage years and supposed that since the vitamin D supplements had made such a marked difference to his depression (not just his energy levels) he believed he must have been deficient most of his adult life. He was actually given injections at first since his levels were so low and tablets to continue with.

I Have been following the vitamin D topic for the last 3 month's and, am totally amazed at the general lack of knowledge & awareness that the British medical population are presenting to the British public. I've learnt that it is important to take the D3 version of the vitamin due to it's higher potency and, to also take it with vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 prevents calcification build up within the blood vessels. I've also learnt that you should avoid taking the tablet with tea or coffee beverages, as this can effect the potency & impact. Many thanks Dr Campbell for your amazing videos that explain medical jargon in a simple and informative manner.

I'd really like to find confirmation on that. My college physio classes have no info on that claim. Either he explained it poorly, or he's wrong. There are no live cells in the skin's sebaceous layer, and the outermost layers of skin are dead and very little actually gets absorbed through the skin into the body or bloodstream. (although many mommy bloggers inaccurately claim otherwise) The whole purpose of all the layers of the integumentary systems is to grow and push outward. I'm very intrigued with his info.

Thank you, Doctors, for all this great info. This video was excellent! Though I wish we could have seen the whole conversation. Well, I have been ill from vitamin D deficiency before while working the night shift. I am so grateful I was able to retire two years ago. I spend more time in the sun, and have no stress. Of course, I have had skin cancer, so I'm supposed to use sunscreen. Quite the balancing act, but the key is "time of day exposure", as well as amount of time spent... sunscreen goes on during the hottest part of afternoon. I have been supplementing until I started working in the garden, again. I may go back to doing both after watching this.

Thanks John for putting this remaining part of your interview. 😷. More please.

I've known for many years the enormous benefits of Vitamin D as well as sun exposure. I shared this with all my friends fir many years and I was always careful to point out that it's important not to wash it off! Another point I'd always make is that sunscreen would block the production. Then a couple of years ago I started researching the topic again and came across a study showing that vitamin D is still produced in high amounts even when sunscreen is applied! I also came across a PhD professor giving a lecture and explaining that vitamin D is produced within the the skins cells and therefore it couldn't be washed off! I felt a bit foolish for having told so many people about not washing and not to wear sunscreen! Now I'm back to thinking that maybe my original advise was correct after all. I wish this question could be answered once and for all. So much conflicting information out there. If anyone has links to a well researched study explaing exactly where vitamin D is produced.....ie in the outer skin, inner skin or surface oils that could be washed off please can you post below. Cheers

Indeed. That is the way to measure 45 degrees. But of course, nothing is black and white, and the UV-B fraction doesn't suddenly dissappear when going from 46 to 44 degrees incidence. That is just an example of over-simplification to explain the general trend to people who didn't study physics. 😊 As a scientist, i would be interested in a little bit more detail, on how the UV-B correlates with angle. Should be pretty much an exponential decay over the length of travel through the atmosphere, with the distance increasing as 1/sin(angle), with some additional dependencies that i will ignore. That means already at 45 degrees, you get 67% of the dose you get at normal incidence, 90 degrees. But even at 35 degrees, you still have 50%, thus far from falling to zero. For smaller angles, it then drops rather fast. At 10 degrees the dose is less than 1%, so it is true that evening sun quickly gets useless for Vit D. The real equation will be a bit more complex, but e(1/sin(a)) should be a lot better approximation than a digital cut-off function at 45 degrees. 😎

Thanks Dr John. This is so important. I am a retired actuary who has worked since 1974 in health, mainly in Australia and New Zealand but I have also worked in most countries in South East Asia, The Indian sub continent and, on the odd occasion, in Europe. Looking at the statistics coming out of WHO there is a pattern of excellent results in New Zealand, Australia, so far South Africa and probably Argentina. All of these countries get a lot of sunshine in summer. The virus hit these countries towards their end of summer. Australia and New Zealand have also had pretty nice Autumns. I find it hard to believe that these countries, which implemented social distancing and border controls not much differently than most European countries should have infection and death rates often less then 1% of the European countries. It therefore seems to me that Australia and New Zealand in particular, were particularly lucky with the timing of the outbreak of the pandemic in their countries. Hopefully South Africa and Argentina will also prove to be lucky too. But this also leads to a further conclusion. This virus, like other respiratory illnesses caused by corona viruses (coughs and colds), is principally season dependent. If this is so then there is a greater likelihood of a second wave occurring in these countries during winter and early spring, which if there is widespread awareness pf vitamin D levels and use of supplements may be largely averted.

I love it how they were talking about it and learning new things and getting excited ....

This is very interesting for me personally, elders in my family always preach to avoid showering if sick, always questioned their logic and ignored it.... just to find out they were right after all!

Facinating program, thanks for sharing. I definitely will get more vitamin D and sunshine.

Vit D supplementation was well publicized 40 years ago when I was a teenager, at the time I was concerned with acne, but both Vit D and zinc were well known, or at least in the literature I read then. In the new information age it's amazing that these things are not widely known. I suspect a large problem is people not being actively involved in their health, simply waiting for their doc to magically know if something needs changing. I get cancers on my face so use sunscreen there but leave my arms bare (landscape gardener).

Agree. In NYC doctors have been testing Vit D.for decades. Amazing how this is new news for so many. Can see the prices go up and shelves cleaned out. Just like the other vitamins and rubbing alcohol.

This was incredibly informative, thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing the Dr John. This was a fascinating interview.

I have had asthma conditions and cold issues .. now feels perfect without asthma with vitamin d3 and meditation.. i lived in london, uk for few years for my study and job and now living in bangladesh .. feels amazing no matter what the circumstances are : )

Our pathetic health "authoritie$" have notably kept very quiet on building ones immune system up. Sunlight! vitamins! a good diet! Exercise!

@@beniteztheconman I knew an athlete and health fanatic who died of a fatal heart attack, aged 35. He also had stress issues with his hips, knees, shoulders and ankles. My point is that _correct_ exercise is essential for improved health. One facetious theory is that the human heart is only designed to pump a certain number of times, so why waste those precious cycles by exercising too vigorously? More seriously, _a balanced life_ is what we need. Excess of anything (even Oxygen) is dangerous to health.

Growing up in Africa I remember a number of instances when I couldn't move the next day because the sunburn had made my skin pull tight and it felt like it was going to tear of I straightened my legs or arms. That was so painful. I used to wear a long sleeved shirt for school but still got burned through that when I took my blazer off. I guess I was pumped with vitamin D back then ;-)

I believe (though may be wrong) that anywhere you find an "RDA" on vitamin/mineral, it was designed as the absolute bare minimum that a soldier needed to remain above deficiency, and as Dr Shelton stated, not the optimum or even ideal amount. Eat healthily folks, get out in the sun when you can (but don't burn) and exercise if you're able to.

Watching from NZ - so good to have someone knowledgeable, especially in your own corner of the planet. I've soaked up the NZ sun this summer and autumn and am now taking vitamin D daily to get through the "winter" as we laughably call it here in Auckland!!

I’ve been taking vitamin D3 at 5000iu from Dr Johns first video, one lesson I’ve learned it stated take after evening meal which kept me awake so I changed that to the afternoon and sleeping much better. It’s summer here in England and I still take the supplement, my friend is diabetic and I told him and he lungs feel so much better. Thank you this literally a life saver. ❤️

And the average life-expectancy in the US compared to whatever ****hole you come from is?....

My girlfriend is out nearly every sunny day on the hammock getting full-body exposure :-) She is a care worker and did have covid and got over it in a couple of weeks (tested). A colleague is a very overweight black lady who got it even less severely (tested) and she has been on injections of vit D and C for quite a while.

I am in the US. I was hospitalized at age 29 for microcytic anemia, my red blood cells were less than 10% and pale, small and low mobility. I was given transfusions, infusions, and invasive procedures to find 'the bleed'. There was none. My blood revealed more than a dangerous level of iron, red blood cells, and O2, but also that I had both a vit D and vit C deficiency. I literally had scurvy, an American born and raised light skin and eyes (low melanin and in a southern state so I was not at risk I thought). But growing up we never had a good diet, we had a low budget processed food diet and I never took a vitamin before. Good ol American working class, no money for healthcare or healthy nutrition. I am so much better now that I take a dozen high quality supplements including an annually renewed prescription of vit D and liposomal C. I had learned to live with exhaustion, pale skin, aches, brain fog, head aches, gum disease, bruising, hair loss, slow healing, ice cravings, all but the last I thought was just being a mom. Each dr remarked that I should of not been able to talk, but I had slowly come to that state so gradual, it sneaks up on you.

You MUST be very careful with a vitamin like vitamin K since it can thicken the blood, I have took in my 20’s (I am in my 40’s currently) and vitamin K caused me to have NIGHTMARE MENSTRUAL cycles just horrid I went to the gynecologist and was told I was not to take vitamin K, I currently have not a vitamin and mineral body level lab test so I dont know if I need it now, but I will have to do that lab test and a medical consultation for dosis. Cut long story short, Consult your doctor and have the vitamin and mineral body levels lab test done and that you can take exactly what what your body needs. Just to be safe 🙂

Yet in UK MSM and socialists / liberals state that black people have suffered most in UK because of Socio/economic reasons. They are poor etc. Look at Thailand poor, outside most of the time, good unadulterated food and very low infection rate or deaths from Covid. They cannot accept that we all started off as black from Africa but evolved into white because evolution made allowances for the reduced Vitamin D levels caused by the reduction in sunlight which happens naturally the further north you go. It is that simple.

Every year, come January & February (in UK) I get a long lasting low level chest infection. Lo and behold when the sun comes out in spring and the sun comes out it's noticeable the chest gets better. Time for some winter Vitamin D I guess!

Thankyou very much to both of you Doctors for this deeper insight into Vit D. Fascinating studies.

The wife and I have been taking 5,000 IU per day (well 3 out of 4 days on average) for about two weeks now. She is disabled and rarely goes outside and I work nightshift so sunlight is not a major factor in our lives. Definitely going to have vitamin D levels checked next time we go in for our A1c tests. We will have a baseline to work with at that point. We are due for our checkups as soon as the lockdown restrictions are eased in our area which should be within the next few weeks. Started taking the D3 due to your videos and our lifestyle which would make it most likely that we are deficient in D3. Will know more after the checkup.

Early good morning from Canada :)

I moved to Texas from Canada at age 28.I got more sun in 3 months than what I would have got in 3 years.I felt so good after 3 months I felt like I went through puberty again.
