Maybe youTube wanted to deter a lot of viewers, from the point of view that vitamin D maintains a good immune system, a good robust immune system doesn't need Covid vaccinations or any other vaccines for influenza, it's only when the immune system is compromised with an underlying other virus or bacterium, an example is Bronchial Pneumonia affecting the lungs, then it is this occasion anti-biotics are used. I'm pretty sure my message will be taken down like some other ones I made.

MDMA is the most effective treatment for PTSD, held back by the recreational use of the drug and a hugely misleading early study that was possibly sabotaged. In the study on primates, they mistakenly gave them methamphetamine, at very high doses, causing serious adverse reactions. Even tho the study was eventually withdrawn, it's false conclusions still influence medical opinion.

Interestingly young students of medicine & nursing are cautioned that too much D is toxic, and supplementation is to be used cautiously. I say this based on my young nurse daughter. She is constantly worried about my D levels being too high... I was up to 63 ng/ml, and it terrified her, while my Dr was cheering me on. I also live in the Pacific Northwest, and we aren't known for a lot of sun! Glad there are positive studies coming out. I developed skin cancer in 08. After having it removed I was told by my derm to take 5000 iu. No return of skin cancer, and a better mood. I think we are so D deprived because of over use of sunscreen, just my thoughts.

When insulin is high, D stays locked up in the fat cells, so do some fasting to get it down if you can manage. It also has many other amazing benefits. Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered. Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. Fasting increases nitric oxide. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' that is not supposed to be there. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles as much as 1/3 of all immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors! Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. 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. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. 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. 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. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity! 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, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. 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. 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! 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. 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. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and under 18 g of carb. 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.

In my 40’s I began heeding the advice to avoid sun beds and developed depression and anxiety to a debilitating degree. I now take 10,000 IUs of vitamin d3 daily during the dark months and am “cured” of all my mental health problems. I’m able to work again for the first time in years!

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. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and under 18 g of carb. 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.

I live in Austria, we have cold and clouded winters here. Last winter at the end of december I got my VitD levels checked and they were at 59. I am a 28year old male and my hobby is doing calisthenics at the park which gives me sun exposure all year around. The doctor said to me she never saw a VitD level thst high in a male and asked me how much I supplement. I thought this was funny because I never supplemented VitD in my life. I am not saying it is bad, please get your supplements but if you can, get pit in the sun, get out in nature and fill up your system with those good vibrations. Also it is really fascinating to me what grounding does to the body. As an engineer this makes perfect sense to me. But hey, just read the literature yourself or even better.

59 of what. UK and USA use ng/ml we in Europe use nmol/L. The corelation is 2,5. Healthy blood level of vitD is 125 nmol/L (or 50 ng/ml in USA/UK). In 2020 this level of vitD had 94% reduction in covid deaths from the observational study by Heidelberg University and was shown on this channel too in 2021. To achieve those vitD levels adults over 50 need + - 100mcg vitD3 daily AND ca. 50 mg vitK2 to prevent hypercalcemia. Big Danish population study (ca.2015) showed that higher vitD levels give 30% lower cancer mortality,40% for lower weight people.

Vitamin D has truly changed my life. Just a few months ago I had all sorts of weird symptoms - dry, red and itchy patches of skin, pain when urinating, abdominal pain, extreme fatigue and very depressed mood like never before, to the point, where I truly was thinking:"I would just rather die." Fearing it was cancer or something, I finally pulled myself together and went to do all sorts of blood tests. Everything came back in perfect order, except for vitamin D. I was severely deficient. As soon as I started taking vitamin D supplements my overall well being dramatically improved within couple of days. Firstly, the fatigue and depressed mood went away, everything else improved within next 3 weeks. And now taking daily vitamin D supplements, I'm feeling better than ever.

Surprisingly, during the summer I was fine. Going into autumn I did notice a change in my moods and overall well being. When I noticed the change I started taking multivitamins (which I have just checked, and contain Vit D and K).

This was a week before spring training, it was bad news. The next off season, we had done some studying and came across some research that there might be a correlation between D3 levels and getting the flu. Long story short, we started including D3 in all of our supplement recomendations and never had an outbreak like that again. That off season was the last time I had the flu.

Another anecdotal testimony if I can. Before I was taking vit D3, the annual flu shot gave zero response, I often forgot which arm was selected for the injection 3 days after. When I was taking adequate vit D3, that is when I noticed (for the first time) an actual response to the injection site and I didn't need to remember which arm then. Mild pain reminded me instantly which arm had the shot for at least a week after starting the day after. And by this reaction, I can take it that one of the components of the flu shot was lacking in my overall defense system. Thus a good thing I'm at least partially immune now to which ever flu it was modeled for that brought out the reaction. Having no reaction could mean my immune system isn't up to date and even this statement isn't one of actual fact at all. Since I can't know that, but I would rather have the sore arm with taking Vit D3 than the way it was before I took Vit D3 seriously. Proper Vit D3 levels are vitally serious. As is adequate K2. At least in the USA, one can still buy a blood test for Vit D3 among many other tests. Entry level price is north of 75 dollars and you should search for the topic on goggle since I'm not getting blocked due to urls posted here.

D3 and K2 are the combo of the winners 🏆 A friend that has some mild obesity couldn't even convey himself to even do any exercise, therefore his obesity got him beyond 120kg already. When I suggested him to take D3 and K2, in a week he recovered the energy, felt less "bloated" and found the strength (and mental readiness) to do exercises every odd day because we know that forcing him to workout with such a huge weight on him would bust his joints before he can even start to burn the fat. He's down to 110kg after three months, so we are hoping he gets back to his normal 75kg slowly and with the power of those vitamins and a daily mini-barrel of water! He also started to sleep much better and his apneas improved, feels more awake and recovered his quick wit and his will to live. It's almost like a miracle, John, for his 39 years I never saw him so revitalized with just adding these supplements to his diet 😭

Inside of a year of starting this he was back to competitive mountain biking! He told us that he RARELY sees anyone above 30 ng/ml.. most are between 10 to 20 ng/ml, yet patients are hardly ever supplemented in the Veterans Administration.

Interestingly, when Covid hit I was on antidepressants. There was talk of not being able to get prescriptions, so I decided to wean myself off, as this would be better than just suddenly not taking them. I stayed with my partner through the first pandemic. I started watching your videos and started supplementing Vit D. This period was one of my least depressive periods going. When everyone else was depressed by lockdowns, I was my happiest. I think this was a combination of Vit D, meditation/breathing technique and company! I've noticed though that Vit D price has escalated somewhat, especially with Vit K. People will always cash in, but its cheaper than medication.

John, Many thanks again for all your hard work. In my 20s I started to suffer from depression/anxiety, more anxiety really. Went to the doc who instantly prescribed an antidepressant (prothiaden), well yes the anxiety went away and so did everything else; look back at video of myself from that time and its like I have been slowed down. Now I had nothing to be anxious about, in the RAF for a 22 year stint so job security, money, housing all okay, beautiful wife good food so why anxiety. Well the doc knows best so I carried on taking the drugs despite my wife saying "but your not depressed". Anyway after about 30 years of on and off various antidepressants a doctor decided to do a full blood test and is was found to be hypothyroid by quite a bit so was started on thyroxine OMFG different person. Also now taking Vit D and I'm pretty sure you can feel the difference in mood and outlook. Reason for writing all this is, please everyone get your thyroid checked, it runs your whole body and modern diet and life screws with it.

I lived in Portugal, meaning plenty Sun. Long story short, I live in Norway (no Sun) where the lack of vit. D almost killed me. And this is not a figurative speech. A truly unfortunate combination of factors lead me to ridiculously low levels. The physical pain and suffering was terrible. Let alone the long term depression. Something I had never suffered! Pains and inflammations, all over the body, joints, etc. An accumulation of conditions I wouldn't wish for an enemy! My Dr. who followed me for years never got a grip on it. And I was absolutely clueless. Thankfully, years after my Dr. finally got a "blink". And tested the vit. D values. Useless to say they were less than half of the minimum acceptable! Vit. D supplements and in a couple of weeks I was a new man! The damaged provoked was extensive and I still struggle a bit with the consequences. But the change felt like an act of God.

Xmas 2022 I was again very ill with severe chest infection headaches swollen glands etc, so I bought vitamin D tablets of 3000iu plus started taking K2 Vit, now after 3 months I feel better than I have felt in over 3 yrs.

I was talking to a psychiatrist once, back in the 1980's, and he was telling me that March was the big month for depression. Now I know why! March is at the end of the cold, dark winter when vitamin D levels are at the lowest. Thank you, Dr. Campbell, for your great videos.

Interestingly young students of medicine & nursing are cautioned that too much D is toxic, and supplementation is to be used cautiously. I say this based on my young nurse daughter. She is constantly worried about my D levels being too high... I was up to 63 ng/ml, and it terrified her, while my Dr was cheering me on. I also live in the Pacific Northwest, and we aren't known for a lot of sun! Glad there are positive studies coming out. I developed skin cancer in 08. After having it removed I was told by my derm to take 5000 iu. No return of skin cancer, and a better mood. I think we are so D deprived because of over use of sunscreen, just my thoughts.

When insulin is high, D stays locked up in the fat cells, so do some fasting to get it down if you can manage. It also has many other amazing benefits. Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered. Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. Fasting increases nitric oxide. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' that is not supposed to be there. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles as much as 1/3 of all immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors! Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. 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. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. 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. 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. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity! 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, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. 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. 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! 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. 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. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and under 18 g of carb. 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.

I can say that when I started taking D3 I went from feeling down all the time to feeling very happy. Im a %100 disabled vet and it is hard to keep yourself upbeat, because you feel worthless.
I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US. We get zeros UV for 7-8 months out of the year. I began using sun beds when I was 13-14 years old for vanity reasons during the darkest times of year. In my 40’s I began heeding the advice to avoid sun beds and developed depression and anxiety to a debilitating degree. I now take 10,000 IUs of vitamin d3 daily during the dark months and am “cured” of all my mental health problems. I’m able to work again for the first time in years! Correlation may not be evidence, but I’m not giving up my vitamin D3 again. I guess if it does become illegal or too expensive, I’ll go back to using a sun bed. Not ideal but better than nothing.
With my D level rising fron 25 to 37 by taking 5000 units daily with the K2, my doc here in the US wants me to double that dose to 10000 per day and repeat the level in 6 months - she want me at a level of 50 - I am 77 years old and healthy as a horse thanks to a great doc

I am 54 and teach in a school of 11-18 yr olds. My entire drama class came down with a nasty cold that lasted over a week for most of them. I just started taking Vit D3 a few weeks now. Normally I come down with whatever my class are suffering (evidenced by 31 years of teaching), I was totally unaffected by their "bug". I know this is "cold" related, but I am increasingly being converted to the positives of taking Vit D. Thank you for your very informative videos.
We just started D3 with K2, and some B - I didn't think it was doing anything... until I missed a couple days. What a huge difference! Thank you for helping us with this - the world is difficult and expensive right now, the D3 will help us get thru it!

My grandad used to say, " Get the sun on your back boy!". He suffered every February as do I. God bless to you, fight the good fight. Xxx
I live in Austria, we have cold and clouded winters here. Last winter at the end of december I got my VitD levels checked and they were at 59. I am a 28year old male and my hobby is doing calisthenics at the park which gives me sun exposure all year around. The doctor said to me she never saw a VitD level thst high in a male and asked me how much I supplement. I thought this was funny because I never supplemented VitD in my life. I am not saying it is bad, please get your supplements but if you can, get pit in the sun, get out in nature and fill up your system with those good vibrations. Also it is really fascinating to me what grounding does to the body. As an engineer this makes perfect sense to me. But hey, just read the literature yourself or even better.

59 of what. UK and USA use ng/ml we in Europe use nmol/L. The corelation is 2,5. Healthy blood level of vitD is 125 nmol/L (or 50 ng/ml in USA/UK). In 2020 this level of vitD had 94% reduction in covid deaths from the observational study by Heidelberg University and was shown on this channel too in 2021. To achieve those vitD levels adults over 50 need + - 100mcg vitD3 daily AND ca. 50 mg vitK2 to prevent hypercalcemia. Big Danish population study (ca.2015) showed that higher vitD levels give 30% lower cancer mortality,40% for lower weight people.

Vitamin D has truly changed my life. Just a few months ago I had all sorts of weird symptoms - dry, red and itchy patches of skin, pain when urinating, abdominal pain, extreme fatigue and very depressed mood like never before, to the point, where I truly was thinking:"I would just rather die." Fearing it was cancer or something, I finally pulled myself together and went to do all sorts of blood tests. Everything came back in perfect order, except for vitamin D. I was severely deficient. As soon as I started taking vitamin D supplements my overall well being dramatically improved within couple of days. Firstly, the fatigue and depressed mood went away, everything else improved within next 3 weeks. And now taking daily vitamin D supplements, I'm feeling better than ever.

We've been taking Vitamin D3 for longer than I can remember, but ramped it up in 2020.
For many years I have suffered with SAD. In the spring of 2022 I started working night shifts and knew that at some point the SAD type symptoms would probably catch up with me due to the lack of exposure to daylight. Surprisingly, during the summer I was fine. Going into autumn I did notice a change in my moods and overall well being. When I noticed the change I started taking multivitamins (which I have just checked, and contain Vit D and K). I would say that my SAD was not as severe as previous years, even though I had forgotten to take them some days. I think there is certainly some benefits to taking them. Thank you for this video and raising awareness.
Thank you for everything you do Dr. C. I have been taking D supplements since I listened to a Brett Weinstein podcast with Gruff Davies and Linda Benskin and it has literally changed my life.

Years ago, I managed a small personal training studio that had a large number of professional athletes as our client base. One year, one of our athletes got the flu really, really bad, Nearly every client we had got sick, and both myself and the other strength coach got sick. This was a week before spring training, it was bad news. The next off season, we had done some studying and came across some research that there might be a correlation between D3 levels and getting the flu. Long story short, we started including D3 in all of our supplement recomendations and never had an outbreak like that again. That off season was the last time I had the flu.

Another anecdotal testimony if I can. Before I was taking vit D3, the annual flu shot gave zero response, I often forgot which arm was selected for the injection 3 days after. When I was taking adequate vit D3, that is when I noticed (for the first time) an actual response to the injection site and I didn't need to remember which arm then. Mild pain reminded me instantly which arm had the shot for at least a week after starting the day after. And by this reaction, I can take it that one of the components of the flu shot was lacking in my overall defense system. Thus a good thing I'm at least partially immune now to which ever flu it was modeled for that brought out the reaction. Having no reaction could mean my immune system isn't up to date and even this statement isn't one of actual fact at all. Since I can't know that, but I would rather have the sore arm with taking Vit D3 than the way it was before I took Vit D3 seriously. Proper Vit D3 levels are vitally serious. As is adequate K2. At least in the USA, one can still buy a blood test for Vit D3 among many other tests. Entry level price is north of 75 dollars and you should search for the topic on goggle since I'm not getting blocked due to urls posted here. You can see how YT has blocked one comment already by the miscount of replies shown. That poster can see his own post, but nobody else can thanks to the yt bot.
I used to get SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) while living in Scotland. I just rented a sun bed and adjusted my diet and solved the problem. Yeah, lack of vitamin D is a big issue in places that do not get a lot of sun. There was a lot of suicide in Scotland when I lived there.

Three months of doctor visits, because of low vitamin D.
Likewise, John. I used to feel terrible in the many uneventful winters of the past. Over the last years I've made it a point to supplement over the winter and in spite of the many depressing world events as of late I've found myself quite resilient.

Wow! The results are so compelling that it's bordering on unethical to even have a clinical trial since we're talking about such severe outcomes. Not to mention it's already common sense to take it for known health benefits like attenuated symptoms for respiratory illnesses.

D3 and K2 are the combo of the winners 🏆 A friend that has some mild obesity couldn't even convey himself to even do any exercise, therefore his obesity got him beyond 120kg already. When I suggested him to take D3 and K2, in a week he recovered the energy, felt less "bloated" and found the strength (and mental readiness) to do exercises every odd day because we know that forcing him to workout with such a huge weight on him would bust his joints before he can even start to burn the fat. He's down to 110kg after three months, so we are hoping he gets back to his normal 75kg slowly and with the power of those vitamins and a daily mini-barrel of water! He also started to sleep much better and his apneas improved, feels more awake and recovered his quick wit and his will to live.

5 years now without a cold, 5 years taking 10,000 I.U.'s of Vitamin D3 and 200 mcg of K2. Be careful with turmeric with pepper, for some reason my liver enzymes went high while taking Turmeric with pepper. My Dr. asked me if I was taking large amounts of Tylenol. I immediately stopped taking Turmeric with pepper and my liver enzymes are back to normal.
I find it interesting that your title says nothing about deleting oneself and yet YT feels it necessary for me to click the button before I could continue with your podcast. I am so thankful for all your research and the way you present it to us.
Thank you for your continued support in this everchanging world. I take vit D religiously after finding out 12 yrs ago i had a severe deficiency. I was having severe pain in my joints and depression. I went to rheumatology nurse clinician. She was very smart to check levels. I live in Minnesota and of course have long dark cold winters. I am also a retired nurse. Nutritional deficiencys have always intrigued me esp. in socalled modern countries. Again enjoy your reporting in and sharing across the pond. Peace and light to you✝️🕊️

I take my vitamin D antireligiously 💕🙏
Started taking D3 5000 iu and K2 100mg in one cap since watching one of your programs during the pandemic. Have suffered from knee pain from injury years ago. One day I realized I hadn't taken an nsaid nor used a tens unit for some time as the pain had disappeared. The only change in my lifestyle was the addition of the Vitamin D3 and I would be considered elderly. Not making any claims but I can assure you I will not miss any dosages of vit D.
When I told hubby John's VA doctor in 2011 HOW much D3 he was on to get a level of 120 ng/ml, he was shocked.. now HE, the doctor, does 50,000 iu x 2 per week and he looks-and feels- so much better. Inside of a year of starting this he was back to competitive mountain biking! He told us that he RARELY sees anyone above 30 ng/ml.. most are between 10 to 20 ng/ml, yet patients are hardly ever supplemented in the Veterans Administration. Despite Agent Orange-induced issues, under MY care, the GP reckons my hubby, at 78, is their healthiest patient!

Correlation does not necessarily imply causation, meaning that just because two variables are correlated, it does not mean that one variable causes the other. However, if a correlation is predicted by a mechanism of causation, it suggests that the mechanism may be true.
Interestingly, when Covid hit I was on antidepressants. There was talk of not being able to get prescriptions, so I decided to wean myself off, as this would be better than just suddenly not taking them. I stayed with my partner through the first pandemic. I started watching your videos and started supplementing Vit D. This period was one of my least depressive periods going. When everyone else was depressed by lockdowns, I was my happiest. I think this was a combination of Vit D, meditation/breathing technique and company! I've noticed though that Vit D price has escalated somewhat, especially with Vit K. People will always cash in, but its cheaper than medication.

John, Many thanks again for all your hard work. In my 20s I started to suffer from depression/anxiety, more anxiety really. Went to the doc who instantly prescribed an antidepressant (prothiaden), well yes the anxiety went away and so did everything else; look back at video of myself from that time and its like I have been slowed down. Now I had nothing to be anxious about, in the RAF for a 22 year stint so job security, money, housing all okay, beautiful wife good food so why anxiety. Well the doc knows best so I carried on taking the drugs despite my wife saying "but your not depressed". Anyway after about 30 years of on and off various antidepressants a doctor decided to do a full blood test and is was found to be hypothyroid by quite a bit so was started on thyroxine OMFG different person. Also now taking Vit D and I'm pretty sure you can feel the difference in mood and outlook. Reason for writing all this is, please everyone get your thyroid checked, it runs your whole body and modern diet and life screws with it.

I’ve followed you avidly for a couple of years now. For the last Year and a half I’ve taken the 4000 units of Vit D3 and 100mg of K2 you suggested. I’m 70 and live in the South East of England. This next bit is purely anecdotal but I thought you would be interested. Since Christmas I have not eaten anything with refined sugar in it or highly processed food. I’ve also cut out alcohol and basically just drink water. So no cakes, biscuits, chocolates etc. I eat meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, porridge for breakfast etc. And I feel so much better both physically and mentally.

It's worth saying again, I'd had painful plantar fasciitis for over a year and with that last bout had almost lost hope of it ever going away. After two weeks of D3 supplementation it started to get better. I also started K2 and magnesium glycinate at the same time, that was 9 months ago. Plantar fasciitis went away completely after about 3 weeks. I couldn't believe it! Other aches and pains receded too and just generally feel better/sleep better, nails strong and even my hair seems thicker. Im 64 this year. Thank you so much for this resource which enabled me to help myself when all the pharmacy could offer was full dose round the clock paracetamol or codeine.

People who are taking the maximum recommended dose need to also take into account the amount they are getting in their diet, and from the sunshine. Excess Vit D is not water soluble and so excreted as is Vit C but is stored in the liver. With a proper diet it will store enough for four months of winter.
Dr Campbell based on what you say, I'm going to start taking these vitamins, I was aware before of vitamin D that we get from the sun, and SAD, but now I will start a vitamins program, thank you very much.
I lived in Portugal, meaning plenty Sun. Long story short, I live in Norway (no Sun) where the lack of vit. D almost killed me. And this is not a figurative speech. A truly unfortunate combination of factors lead me to ridiculously low levels. The physical pain and suffering was terrible. Let alone the long term depression. Something I had never suffered! Pains and inflammations, all over the body, joints, etc. An accumulation of conditions I wouldn't wish for an enemy! My Dr. who followed me for years never got a grip on it. And I was absolutely clueless. Thankfully, years after my Dr. finally got a "blink". And tested the vit. D values. Useless to say they were less than half of the minimum acceptable! Vit. D supplements and in a couple of weeks I was a new man! The damaged provoked was extensive and I still struggle a bit with the consequences. But the change felt like an act of God. And I'm not religious. ;-)
I'm taking 20,000 IU's of D, and 200ug of K2, a day. And feeling great.
I first watched this vlog in 2020, I think... You spoke about Vit. D3 way back then. I started taking Vit. D during the Pandemic. I took 5,000 IU Vit D3 and 90 mcg Vit K2 (MK7). I told my primary I was supplementing but had no clue if I was taking too much or too little. She had me tested for Vit D levels, and said, you are perfect, and to keep it up. I do wonder what my levels might have been before supplementation...
When I began taking D3, my whole life changed. I felt much better in almost every way. Had more energy and lost weight. I can personally see why feeling better about life would drastically cut suicide attempts.

Hi John if I may so bold & call you by yr 1st name as I see you as a caring neighbour looking out for us all, just to let you know that I have been ill since October 2019. No positive covid test ever showed up but have symptoms that the doc has said could be long covid. I had been taking Vit D for a few yrs prior to Covid prescribed by the doc of 800iu. On listening to your professional opinions everyday since 2020 I asked 4 a higher dose of Vit D but they said it was not necessary as not beneficial. Xmas 2022 I was again very ill with severe chest infection headaches swollen glands etc, so I bought vitamin D tablets of 3000iu plus started taking K2 Vit, now after 3 months I feel better than I have felt in over 3 yrs. My anxiety levels have reduced too. Thank you for letting me know your professional reflections over this very difficult Covid period. You are a blessing to us all.💖

I work for a large oil company that starts with the letter B and we have an onsite medical facility. It used to be run by the company but of course this too got out sourced to a contractor. When it was company run I'd get a blood draw twice a year and have vitamin D tested, it was great! Since the contractor came in these tests are now subject to my insurance company and most of the time they also do not want to pay for this test unless requested by my family doctor. It's kind of a joke really, an easy test to keep people healthy and happy has now become yet another hurdle to leap over. I take 5000 - 10000 daily but I hadn't been taking the K-2 until you mentioned it in your first video. Thanks Dr John, always looking out for us!
