I appreciate how Dr.Campbell up front told us the main point about Vitamin D and then said "If you want to stick around...." he goes on to expand what he is saying about Vitamin D and explains his thoughts on the matter. See, he knows how people think and what they want ...he knows to be on point and up front with his listeners. Thank you Dr.Campbell !!!

Thank you so much for this! My mom lived til 96 -unfortunately she had to live out the last 9 years of her life in an American nursing home where not only did she get no sun on her skin to produce sufficient D levels but the food was appalling as it always tends to be in these places. So I carried on my moms teachings and provided several critical high quality vitamins and supplements which included a high quality brand sublingual D3. However I had to battle the “doctor” for all these years to approve not only D3 but all the good ones such as magnesium, C, a top quality probiotic, high level liquid organic multi, and others and he continuously either wouldn’t approve or discontinue because he claimed all supplements are “snake oil”. Since I persisted in this battle with him for all these years he did relent on some and never approved others like DHA or CoQ10 or even some Elderbery syrup if she showed signs of a cold. He was a horrid “doctor” to deal with and should be fired. He caused me tremendous stress since my mom took vitamins and ate nutritious foods all her life and passed this knowledge to me. I was just carrying on her wishes. Needless to say I am so full of resentment for this nursing home and the big take away is that we must feed our elderly higher quality nutrition and also supplement with the most critical vitamins which would include D3. The elderly rare go outside. The only reason my mom made it to 96 is because I provided critical supplements and foods that sustained her as I could. These homes are way behind in their thinking and should be forced to improve their practices. The sins perpetrated on the elderly are massive

Thank you for caring & trying to help. Unfortunately, I don't think they will listen/act on it. I don't know why. Low D status seems like a simple thing to fix and it should have been addressed long ago as the health impacts are known. I think with both African Americans and Native Americans there is often an increased sensitivity to the typical unhealthy diet and lifestyle pattern in the US due to genetic factors. It has to do with AMPK signalling - all the risk factors tied to severe covid-19 relate to AMPK signalling problems; vitamin D can ameliorate this to some extent. Metformin, a common drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, might also help and it would be interesting to know if people on metformin have better covid-19 outcomes than people on other diabetes drugs, all other things being equal (like age, sex, BMI, etc.).

My dad was suffering from a heart arrhythmia for some time up to being in ICU a couple of times to stabilize his heartbeat. He took all the prescribed meds, gave up coffee, alcohol, was swimming 2-3 times a week but was still heaving these episodes. And then he switched a doctor and the new guy checked his blood test and saw the critically low levels of vitamin D. After boosting himself with vitamin D he's not having these attacks anymore, for 2 years already. So here is another as anecdotal as it may be evidence for the importance of vitamin D for your health.

It has been shown to result in the "cytokine storm" reaction (mentioned) in young, highly fit victims of C19, who's immune system overreacts, attacking other cells and actually contributing to death. My understanding is that Vitamin D doesn't so much prevent the virus, but prevents the contraction of the secondary infection (pneumonia) which kills the victim. You may still feel sick, but you're less likely to die(!) As such, it's useful against *all* such infection.

It depends on where you live. Vitmain D production is dependent on the angle of the sun, the closer you live to the equator, the sooner the angle happens. In Alaska, we do not have the right angle until the end of May, and it is gone by August. Vitamin D is only stored for 6 weeks. That is why the flu season starts in the late fall, our vitamin D stores are too low. I take vitamin D every day, winter and summer. 10,000 IU daily September to May, 5,000 IU End of May to September. I have an autoimmune issue, my Dr wants my levels as close to 100 nanograms/milliliter as we can get it. I will go entire years without getting sick, if I am consistent with my supplementation.

But that doesn't explain why people only get sick from influenza in the winter months. If vitamin D played no role, we should expect influenza to be a problem year round...not as much in summer because schools are closed and people are inside more but there would still be cases. if everyone's immune system was optimized maybe more than 20 percent would be asymptomatic.

Once I started supplementing vitamin D, the viral infections ceased and returned to there usual frequency, which was maybe once every 5-8 years.

Another brilliant video on the importance of vitamin D3. I've seen great strides and improvement in my health from maintaining a higher blood level of D and consider it one of, if not the most important step I take to maintain and even further, improve my health. I would, however, love to see: 1) A transcript of this video (and others as well) since you make so many great "quotable" points 2) A video on the, often unfounded, fears that physicians often have of vitamin D toxicity. Here in the US, many Drs. are still overly cautious with dosing strategies. Because of the current pandemic, as well as the time of year, combined with the fact that so many folks are at this point are quite vitamin D deficient, these smaller, conservative, dosages might actually be keeping these patients at a higher-risk, longer than they need to be. As opposed to treating them with higher doses that could get them out of the 'danger zone' (below 25 nm) much faster. Thank you!

Dr John, you clearly exemplify true leadership!

ME TOO. OMG. I have chronic bronchitis and asthma. And since I started to take this, I found I only got. sick once a year vs 3 times a year and the length and severity decreased. However other factors I believe helped. I used to Live in a Very polluted Mexico City.. and that exacerbates the breathing health. Now I am in Vancouver Canada with much cleaner air. I also did this change in highschool. I believe the combination of having clean air and higher quality supplements (to. this day there are no drop vitamin D liquid for children vs my cousins in the US having it in the 80's it is still non existent in Mexico) I think the air and supplement quality made the difference. But the suppplement did play a major role.

Margaret Lavender I’m surprised that your doctor didn’t do a test or recommend supplementation since aging affects the body’s formation and absorption of vitamin D, and after menopause is when bone loss becomes accelerated. If you already take a multivitamin, it’s likely to include vitamin D so that could be why? My mom’s doctor made her do one once she hit menopause.

AlchemistDreams. Oh don’t worry! I have a yearly blood test for absolutely EVERYTHING, including the bone density scans which they feel are almost obligatory nowadays after the menopause altho that was in 1980 after a hysterectomy aged 41, and especially as I’ve had breast cancer twice. Tho the D3 in a multivitamin barely counts it’s so small, which is why I started daily 1000IU or 25ug on Dr John’s recommendation a month ago. But now I’m going to start 10,000IU, which is around 8500IU, and my doctor says that’s fine to do so.

Come to find out, the medical community has a convention that "mcg" means "microgram", which is 1/1,000,000 gram. I couldn't believe the stupidity in introducing this ambiguity! I shake my head wondering which SI-illiterate person started this convention.

Thank you Dr. Campbell. Finally, someone has made the connection (publicly) between the higher covid death rates for darker skinned people and vitamin D deficiency. I know that many other factors contribute to this but I believe that vitamin D deficiency is the primary factor. My 25(OH)D serum level was 16 when I was diagnosed with lymphoma 11 years ago and at that time I was a physical and mental wreck. When I discovered that my D deficiency probably caused my lymphoma, I took 50,000 iu of D3 a day for 3 weeks to get my level up. I felt like a new man. I was physically much stronger and mentally sharper. I cut back to 15,000 iu a day for the next 4 years and started eating real food and supplementing with vitamin K2, multi-minerals, and other things. I still take 10,000 iu of D3 a day when I am not getting out in the summer sun and as of 3 months ago my lymph nodes have returned to normal size. I try to keep my 25(OH)D level between 60 and 90 ng/ml but it has been as high as 120 ng/ml with no ill effects. I once heard a very respected vitamin D researcher say that 75 iu of D3 a day for every kilogram of body weight is about what humans need. He also said that a nursing mother needs at least 6,000 iu of D3 daily. I am 73 years old and I feel better than I did when I was 50 years old but I know my thymus is not pumping out the killer T cells like it did when I was 50. So, I am being very careful with this covid virus. I don't think that you can realistically get your 25(OH)D serum level into the 40 to 60 ng/ml range by taking only 1,000 or 2,000 iu a day without regular limited summer sun exposure. Thanks again for all your wisdom, hard work, and especially your honesty.

I have MS, first noticeable symptom in 2018, officially diagnosed since 2019 - I believe it was caused by the perfect storm of a few things, but mainly a lack of Vitamin D. I was always getting ill, colds and flu...Since then I've been supplementing at least 4000 iu a day, and I can safely say it's the best decision I've made in my life. EVER. I wish I had started taking it earlier (hindsight is a bitch). I don't ever really get ill now apart from my MS issues. If I do get ill, it's hardly noticeable and gone within a day or two. I truly believe my immune system is properly regulating now, thanks to taking supplements, especially vitamin D They should be giving out vitamin d to everyone! And checking their levels often. We would litteraly save lives.

I live in Chicago. I have MS and have since my diagnosis in 2011 have been pressured to take immune suppressants as treatment, but have instead focused on diet and physical therapy. My neurologist says to continue whatever I'm doing, because its working. Since the ides of March when we were introduced here to this crisis firsthand, I've returned to Vitamin D3 at 5,000 iu daily with meal. I had weened off my supplements recently, but now returned to D3, Quercetin (1000 mg), and Coconut oil (1000 mg). The last could be a placebo, but there's nothing wrong with that. I watch you daily. It is a healthy routine to watch you. My grandmother died of Covid19 April 2nd. This has distracted me from studies, which I am about to finish next week if I focus. I study psychology, human resource development, crisis intervention, and sociology, so I am fascinated by everything happening. I am curious about local community spread, and there are communities that demographically are 75%+ African American. That is evident by a tool available by the mayor's office to see which zip codes have what rates. I'd like you to consider America not as one country, but rather a collection of states. Chicago is mighty proud to be a world city, and I think metropolitian areas here and their accompanied sub-urban spread needs to be looked more individually. I think of Chicago as a Berlin for the US. Berlin is in the middle of the geography of Europe. The city of Chicago is practicing as best as I can see social distancing. Masks have NOT been readily available at all throughout this; requested, desired, but not around. I ordered several online and surprisingly received it. Immediately, I've distributed them to my neighbors. I phoned my building manager and got the numbers. I prepared plastic bags with surgical masks and requested him to distribute them. One for every person, plus an extra. Two extras for units with four or more. The curve is flattening here, according the mayor's office (they've got an interesting task force on the subject), but daily I check morbidity rates and subtract to new daily tally from yesterdays, then I log those. The city is very international. Dozens of different nationalities are represented in my local community, and we're all in this together. I know that the person behind the mask walking ten feet or more away from me feels as I do. We know that this is a bad situation we all have to deal with. My city has noticed a clear inclination for African Americans to be represented disproportionately of in Covid19 infections. (www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/covid-19/home.html) I really believe that Vitamin D processing difference is related to the higher rates of darker skin persons. The disposition to comorbid conditions is certain. Nursing homes are significantly affected. I was once a residential case manager for adults in group homes, and I am trying to imagine the new challenges for facilities such as those. Godspeed and thank you for this wonderful program that you produce. It is important and inspiring. Never forget the last thing left when Pandora's Box was opened and all the chaos escaped, hope had always stayed there.

You certainly do :) But in fact, we all need it given our lives never seeing the sun, working in concrete blocks with artificial lights, malls without windows, etc. Ideal serum levels are 50-70 ng/ml. Check your levels, then use a "vitamin d calculator" where you can enter both your current and desired d level. Then you can take a "loading dose" and a maintenance dose afterwards, the system will calculate it exactly for you! All the best!

I've been carefully keeping my blood level of 25-D over 70 for a couple of years because I have MS. My intake has been 8000 iu/day for a very long time. As a 68 year old immunosuppressed patient, you would think I was very highly at risk for Covid-19. But when I got it in the beginning of March, I had a relatively minor case. I did have some pulmonary effects, but no ARDS. My chest X-ray showed some consolidation but I had no fever, headache, or loss of senses. Just diarrhea, rales, some coughing, and a feeling of heavy mucous in the back of my throat for several days. I was taking losartin ARB which can block the ACE II receptors, too, which might have helped. My course was about 14 days. My wife caught it at about the same time, with even fewer symptoms. She takes Vitamin D as well, but only about 2000 iu/day. The scientific literature on Vitamin D is amazing. If this was a new drug discovery, people would be winning Nobel prizes and drug companies would be charging thousands. I've read that it interacts with over 2000 genes!
