Long story short. I was diagnosed with Type 2 CRPS about 10 years ago, it was agony, but I was lucky because I got some relief by taking Tramadol 24/7. Covid came along, and acting on advice given to me previously, by an actual professor, I began to take 5,000 itu's of vitamin D3 daily. About 4 months into my regime I noticed I was steadily loosing weight, and more incredibly, the background pain from my CRPS was gone. I have been Tramadol and pain free for over 2 years, I have my life back. My weight has also dropped from 18 stone to 13 stone and cuts, bruises heal much faster. Viva vitamin D.

Sorry, but 1,000 iu D3 per day is not sufficient for anyone over the age of one or two years. A more modern (as of 2022) ballpark dose is 1,000 iu D3 per day, for every 25 pounds of body weight.

Vitamin D only acts like a vitamin with respect to how calcium is laid down in bones. Its far bigger effect is as a hormone. It is a signal to up or down-regulate many hundreds of genes. It is a signal telling the body that it is entering summer, a time of plenty, with lots of resources. It is telling the body to use all it's resources to protect and repair itself, because there will be enough food available. In winter a drop in vitamin D is telling the body that resources are scarce and that it needs to penny-pinch and prioritise resources for certain functions. This is why it really does have an effect on virtually every disease known to man. In modern society food is available all year, so a signal for summer or winter is redundant information. If we keep our vitamin D levels up, all our health promoting genes will be switched on and our conservation genes switched off, so our bodies will use all its resources for maintaining health.

Mike Ivsin-good question ...

We are starting to learn that even though vitamin D will not cure all diseases, keeping vitamin D at reasonably high levels will prevent lots of diseases. The problem we have is that most people have low vitamin D levels, usually below 30ng/ml. There is no reason that any healthy person should not shoot for at least 40 to 60 ng/ml of blood vitamin D. If everybody did that, a WHOLE LOT of metabolic and other diseases would just disappear. I also am currently experimenting with MASSIVE doses of vitamin D. My goal is to get my blood level to somewhere between 100 ng/ml to 150 ng/ml as an experiment to see if any of my chronic pain will subside. I am taking 25,000 IU of vitamin D every day. If may not work, but if I notice any improvement, I'm going to keep my levels very high for the rest of my life. My goal if I do start reducing pain, will be to maintain a vitamin D level permanently to somewhere around 90-100 ng/ml for the rest of my life, of course also by adding magnesium and vitamin K2 to my regimen to control calcification... Vitamin D may not be the fountain of youth, but it may certainly be the kitchen faucet of youth...

Vitamin D is absolutely essential, as it is an immune modulator. Every patient should be tested about 3 times a year. It’s a simple test. As soon as the doctor spoke against these two things, I’ve decided to turn this off. So many studies (hundreds) have been done to show that more than half of all people around the world are vitamin D deficiency. If you have low vitamin D, you have sickness and disease, pure and simple. Do yourself a favor and find another doctor who stresses the importance of this vitamin to listen to on this subject.

Mix of disinformation to true. I know 3 elderly Fosamex women who suffered broken femur heads just standing there. They fell of course! And the diagnosis was “they fell and broke their hip”! First stood up from kitchen chair ,then from standing hit the floor. Second standing then picking up bag of groceries from the trunk of her car ,suddenly started to spin to the ground. Third stood up from bed and collapsed to floor. Their hip/ femur broke and down they went . But you just know it broke when they hit the ground - yeah right.

Very informative, thanks!

Binkley says he doesn't know the right level of vitamin D. I see this talk was uploaded 2014. I think there is prevailing consensus that anything above 40 ng/mL (40 - 70) should be considered optimal. It's not clear how or why an irrational fear of D has been created within the medical mainstream. Follow the money.

Last year in 2018 my lab said the optimal of D was 20 and above. This year (2019) in May They changed it to 30 and above. I have been very deficient (6) back in 2010. I know from lab results that it affected my thyroid (low) and blood pressure (high). They wanted me on drugs of course. I said no and spent many months getting my Vit. D3 up to 80. I felt great! My thyroid and blood pressure normalized. I slept better, had more energy, and lost weight. From my perspective I just do not see 1000IU's as enough for most of the population. I am 67 and even taking 10,000 IU"s daily will not keep my levels where I feel my best. This was done in 2014. He probably or hopefully has learned more about Vitamin D and K2 since then.

Studies on the Masai shepherds indicate that levels of 100 are optimal. This is what the Masai have, and they are outside year-round in a sunny climate, and they take no supplements. The Masai represent how early human levels of vitamin D would have been 10,000 years ago before we migrated to colder parts of the globe.

Good video. More emphasis should be made on blood testing of 25 hydroxy vitamin D levels, the vitamin D3 is then taken in consequence. I am a 66 year old healthy male ,I need 10,000 international units a day to stay at around 50 ng per ml of the above mentioned (a respectable level)

This is a great video, very informative and true about Vitamin D.

There is actual testing with isotopes to look at what they ate ! It was a majority of meat in those days. They can easily tell by the nitrogen in the bones of that period. Check out Dr. Michael Edes presentation on youtube. Its very interesting.

interesting how he suggest calcium dosage based on evolutionary past and then ignores that for D. We get 10,000 iu in an hour of sunlight. Massi tribesmen are at levels of 100ng.ml of 25 OH

Sunshine vitamin or steroid hormone was the most powerful medicine on every living things 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.

@NLR759

15 күн бұрын

People with dark skin like the Masai don’t make 10,000IU in 20 minutes because their melanin filters out some of the UV rays. That’s why they need to be in the sun all day to get adequate levels. People with light skin will produce more vitamin D in a shorter time when exposed to sunlight.

He makes the point that we should take the same amount of calcium as our ancestors, but curiously for vitamin D he suggests taking a lot less ( 1000IU compared to about 10000 IUs our ancestors used to get every day ).

@binathere2574

A dose of natural daily vitamin D from the sun is around 25,000 iu. That what our ancestors should have got. But the torso has to be bare to get that.

This is from 2014 and there is much more recent evidence in 2022 than is indicated here. While adequate the recommendation of 1000 IU is probably outdated since the advent of covid and vit D effects on covid.

@NLR759

1000 IU per day will not be adequate for most people that spend most of their time indoors. 4,000 IU daily is considered an adequate daily dose for most, but ideally you should have your blood levels tested, and then decide how much to supplement. You might need a much higher dose initially to bring up your blood levels. Then take a lower dose for maintenance.
