Vitamin D doses

Daily oral dosing of vitamin D3 using 5000 TO 50,000 international units a day in long-term hospitalized patients:
Insights from a seven year experience
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30611...
Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio
Vitamin D3 is a hormone produced in the skin,
in amounts estimated up to 25,000 international units (IUs) a day,
by the action of UVB radiation
Vitamin D deficiency is common,
lack of adequate sun exposure to the skin,
vitamin D is present in very few food sources.
Deficiency is strongly linked to increased risk for a multitude of diseases,
several of which have historically been shown to improve dramatically with either adequate UVB exposure to the skin,
or to oral supplementation with vitamin D.
These diseases include
Asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, rickets and tuberculosis.
All patients in our hospital have been routinely screened on admission for vitamin D deficiency since July 2011
Offered supplementation to either correct or prevent deficiency
We have admitted over 4,700 patients
(vast majority agreed to supplementation)
5000 or 10,000 IUs/day.
125 micrograms or 250 micrograms
Due to disease concerns,
A few agreed to 20,000 to 50,000 IUs/day.
500 micrograms to 1, 250 micrograms (1.25mg)
There have been no cases of vitamin D3 induced hypercalcemia,
or any adverse events attributable to vitamin D3
Three patients with psoriasis
Marked clinical improvement using 20,000 to 50,000 IUs/day
Analysis of 418 inpatients on D3
Long enough to develop 25OHD3 blood levels less than 74.4 ng/ml,
showed a mean 25OHD3 level of 118.9 ng/ml
(range from 74.4 to 384.8 ng/ml)
Average serum calcium level in the vit D group of 418
9.6  mg/dl
Range of 8.6 to 10.7
(Normal 8.5 to 10.5)
Average serum calcium level in the non vit D group of 777
Mean 25OHD3 level of 27.1 ng/ml
9.5 mg/dl
Range of 8.4 to 10.7
Parathyroid hormone levels
A hormone released in response to low calcium levels
D3 users, 24.2 pg/ml
Non D3 users, 30.2 pg/ml
In summary
Long-term supplementation with vitamin D3 in doses ranging from 5000 to 50,000 IUs/day appears to be safe.
Conclusion
Daily oral intake of vitamin D3 ranging from 5000 IU/d to 60,000 IU/d for several years was well tolerated and safe,
in both our patients and staff.
The mean 25OHD blood levels in our patients appear to take around 12 months to plateau on 5000 IU/d and 10,000 IU/d.
The average 25OHD values
Patients taking 10,000 IU/d at 12 months = 96 ng/ml
Then retested at 16 months = 97 ng/ml
Currently considered upper limit of normal, 100 ng/ml

    Finally, we see a vitamin D study where enough vitamin D3 was given to make a healthy difference and show no adverse effects. I am 76 years old and I have been doing a D3 study on myself for the past 10 years. I am a white male. I am 6' 2" tall and when I started this study in 2013, I weighed approximately 257 lbs and my vitamin D level was 14 ng/ml. I took 50,000 iu of D3 daily for 3 weeks to raise my D level and then cut back to 20,000 or 30,000 iu a day. I felt much better almost immediately. After a few months my D level tested in the 70s. I continued to take the 20K to 30k iu daily thereafter and I felt fantastic. A few years later, I learned the importance of taking vitamin K2 and magnesium with the D3 and I continued with that daily. Here are some of the health issues I had for decades before starting this study: chronic back pain, chronic depression, chronic fatigue, brain fog, very frequent infections of the ear, nose, throat, and lungs, joint pain with arthritis, fever blisters, numbness in the soles of my feet, ringing in my ears, and etc. And, I was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma in 2009. I was given 3 rounds of chemo between 2009 and 2013. My hematologist at the time never mentioned my low vitamin D status during this time even though it was on all of my lab reports. In fact, he repeatedly told me that there was nothing that I could do on my own to fight the lymphoma. He gave me about five years to live. Thank God I did not believe him and started researching lymphoma on my own. So, after 10 years of this self study and keeping my vitamin D level in the 110 to 150+ ng/ml range, here are the results: ALL of my previous health issues have disappeared and I feel healthier and stronger than I did when I was 50 years old. In the past 10 years, I have had only two mild colds and one very mild case of Covid. I see a different hematologist now, but there have been no signs or symptoms of lymphoma in the past 3 years.

    You don't need to double the K2, even if you double the doses of Vitamin D3 intake. In fact, doubling the K2, can cause very serious problems. Nothing bad happened to you for taking 200mcg K2 up till now, is your luck. But K2 intake should be kept maxium100mcg and not more, even if your D intake is 2000, 5000, or even 10,000! Too long topic to explain the reason, but make some research, you can find KZread videos on the proper dosage of Vitamin D and K2 intake, with detailed calculation. Yes, there is a relation between D3 and K2, and when you increase or double the D3, you raise the K2 but when you reach 100mcg with K2, there's where you stop. Remember, K2 never, ever should go above 100 mcg. Please, do the research. I just want to mention one more thing, taking K2 more then 100mcg, could result in heart-attack!!! it's not a joke.

    @sakuratanaka7295 Where does the myth come from that you have to take more vitamin K2 when you take more vitamin D? And where from did you got that inane limit of vitamin K2 you regard so important? Not from science, I'm sure. I think you are really ignorant about these things. Research are currently made with 380 mcg of K2/MK7, because lower doses gave too little effect on calc8fication of the arteries. There is no known toxicity with vitamin K2.

I was fortunate to have a naturopath oncologist who immediately put me on 50,000 iu vitamin D until my level went up to 50 range. Then I went to 10,000 vitamin D daily after that. I have faithfully taken at least 5,000 iu of Vitamin D for all these years. I do have a genetic disposition to hold on to calcium so my calcium levels did go above the 11 range.

My primary care blew it off & told me to stop overdosing myself, the nurse told me to stop eating so much dairy. (Which I don't eat ANY except occasional cottage cheese because I don't like dairy.) So now I've gone off the Vit D until I know what on earth to do. I don't think anyone in the US gives a crap about Vit D.

    Thank you for this video!!!!! I have been struggling with vitamin D deficiency since I had open-heart surgery quite a few years ago. When I finally discovered that this deficiency was a source of many of my post-surgery health struggles I began taking 4000IU per day. I shared my findings with my GP and all he could say was “be careful with such a high dose like that! You might get liver damage.” However, if I dropped below 4000IU per day, I would have massive hair loss, indicating I was deficient. I did my own searching of scientific journals to find that the dose I was taking was safe long term. I still struggle every winter to keep my vitamin D levels up and I’m always worried about the dosage. Your video has given me renewed confidence in my vitamin D dosage. I even feel like I will probably benefit from an increased dose. Thank you for shining a light on this common and life-affecting health situation and for doing so with such a non-biased, scientifically based method!

    It's also important to realize that insulin resistance can stamp down your vit D levels. That makes it hard to get enough no matter what you take. Fortunately, some fasting can immediately reduce this problem and also has amazing effects for the whole immune system with up to 1/3 of all white blood cells regenerated after a single fast. 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. High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers, but some patients may need continued acid reducation medication while fasting. Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. 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. Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! 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. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also 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. 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 meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. 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, except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. 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. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. 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, which destroys them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help 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 extremely low carbs. 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.

    Be careful, when I was looking up Vitamin D toxicity for someone who I was friendly with, it mentioned high doses(such as the amount you're taking) will cause kidney damage. She ended up going for Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease, to Renal Failure and had to be on Dialysis, all within a few months. It was super sad to see. The Sun provides so much Vitamin D to the skin, provided you aren't wearing sunglasses which hurt people. Also, no sunscreen, that's poison and stops absorption of Vitamin D. Drink fresh milk from a local grass-fed farm. all the best.

    Make sure it's Vitamin D3, not D2 which is synthetic and man-made. And make sure you take D3 with K2, or MK7. It directs the D3 to the bone and tissues, and away from the bloodstream. D3 is actually NOT a vitamin, it's a pro-hormone. It is an immune system modulator, not a stimulant or antagonist. It actually acts like a natural cortisone in the body, helping with daily aches and pains, and awesome 👍 for arthritis and other pain related syndromes. Just 15 minutes a day spent in the sun ☀️, in the early day in early afternoon, is a good way to get your daily D3. And of course, especially in the colder months, we need to supplement additionally.....🌞

    After suffering from severe fatigue for years (software developer living in an area where the sun doesn't shine often), I started taking Vitamin D (2000 IU per day) about 12 years ago, and after a couple of weeks, the symptoms disappeared. Since then I have upped the dose to 5000 IU a day, and never had any fatigue issues since. Plus, I am rarely sick, look 10 years younger than I am (mid 40s) and feel great overall. I am sure, a good part of that is because of the Vitamin D (plus a litre of good green tea per day).

    How is your daughter's MS symptoms? Long story, but 9 years after I was diagnosed with MS in '04, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in '13 and ended up with a stoma bag as a result and it was at this time that doctors noted I had low vitamin D and was prescribed 800iu D3 a day. I also take my own 6000iu of D3 a day as well as what's prescribed as my research showed 800 was too low and now what little MS symptoms I had for the 9 years before the ulcerative colitis has almost disappeared. I honestly believe if the low vit. D had been addressed I could have avoided the MS as well as the ulcerative colitis and saved the NHS big money on 4 bowel operations and the management of my condition. I must say my MS was mild and hadn't progressed during the 9 years before I knew of the D3 benefits. Keep taking the D3.

    Fasting helps a great deal with MS and other autoimmune issues. It will also help raise vit D levels by lowering insulin and allowing the vit D to come out of the fat cells. 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. High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers, but some patients may need continued acid reducation medication while fasting. Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. 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. Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! 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. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also 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. 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 meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. 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, except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. 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. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. 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, which destroys them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help 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. 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 extremely low carbs. 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.

He said animals fed D3 in their diet did well and also through newly born animals the first colostrum protectected them from all manner of diseases. On his recommendation, for 53 years my wife and I have taken about 10ml per day-365 per year, and, bingo, I’m 85 years old, my wife almost 82, and we’re still alive and kicking!

When i am put on vitamin d because my levels are too low it takes several months to get it up to an acceptable level so that big a change in a week sounds a little off. But it doesn't really matter. You feel great and that's all that matters.

    @@The77Game it isn't unlikely that a severe deficiency would have terrible effects on my immune system, it's 100% likely my spleen was swollen due to persistent untreated infection - why would it be unlikely that a high dose of the only thing I was deficient of be the cause of drastic change? Because levels can increase over long periods? I'd argue based on logic it was far more likely to be vitamin D related than the SSRI's my doctor insisted on being the best course of action. They described it as a miracle because to accept what was logical was to accept they almost let me die while trying to treat a vitamin deficiency and kidney infection with antidepressants. I lied to the receptionist to get the blood tests and it was a nurse who prescribed the vitamin D based off the results - prior to this my kidney/spleen pains were pulled muscles due to me feeling the pain while trying to swim and my obstructed stomach/inability to eat was anxiety and depression due to my grandfather passing.

    Well let me chime in with my anecdotal information...I returned to the US from Italy. Shortly after, I fell into a deep depression, achey joints, severe headaches and memory problems, severe fatigue and actually gained weight (from a size 2 to a 5) It really felt as if I had an autoimmune disorder. They tested my Vitamin D and it was 8. I didn't start taking it seriously until your KZread channel came along.

    As a Norwegian from near the Arctic circle, everyone took a tablespoon full of cod liver oil every month with an R in it. The summer months were spent extensively outdoors, so the natural sunlight provided the required Vitamin D. This knowledge was passed down for many generations, likely thousands of years, judging by the strength of the Vikings and their international conquests. The looming question is, why have people been lied to?

No Covid symptoms, my GP practice panicked when I got them to test blood level and told me to stop taking it for 6 months. I declined and told them I had followed the research. All noted in my Medical records! I'm an 82 year old great-grandfather, and I'm sick of hearing my 'children' talk about having the flu and always getting colds. Listening to us ancients is something they find difficult, but I keep trying. Even sent them packs of 10,000IU D3 to get them started.

    It's also important to realize that if you have insulin resistance your D will wind up locked up in your fat cells and unusable, making it hard to get the levels up! 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. High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers, but some patients may need continued acid reducation medication while fasting. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. 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. Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! 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. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also 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. 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 meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. 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, except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. 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. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. 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, which destroys them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help 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 extremely low carbs. 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.

    This underlines the real difference everyone should understand between a medical doctor and a doctor of nursing - nursing concentrates more on immediate issues and solutions, whereas medical doctors are trained better in all related body systems and how to chase the underlying causes to address those, where possible. This makes medical doctors tend to move more slowly and carefully. Sometimes that is important; sometimes it is detrimental. It depends on our need. Good nurses are super important for the world to have, and Dr. Campbell is the perfect example as to why - when we need more immediate, quickly evolving care/solutions (as in 2020-2023), well-trained nurses like Dr. Campbell can pull us through all of that much more safely than 99% of medical doctors, who will stumble on their oaths and deeper thinking. Taking high doses of ANYthing in order to "plug a hole" is not a real long-term solution. We all know what a medical doctor would aim at, first and foremost - lifestyle changes where possible (e.g., diet, exercise, stop smoking, drinking, etc.) That is because these machines we're inside of have an uncanny ability to regulate themselves, given half-a-chance, and do not normally require such drastic, quick solutions.

He determined I didn't have celiac but did know to order a D3 test. The test revealed I was at 15 which revealed why I had suffered so much with illness for 45 years. Gluten intolerance is difficult to track down but prevents assimilation of nutrients thereby leaving the system open to whatever is going around. By changing my diet, taking 5k of D3 most days and spending time in the garden I am now at 101 and much healthier with rare colds (never down with the C0vID bug either).

    When I was looking up Vitamin D toxicity for someone who I was friendly with, it mentioned high doses(10,000 UI+) will cause kidney damage. She was taking 10,000 UI at a time, I think daily, and ended up going for Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease, to Renal Failure and had to be on Dialysis, all within a few months. It was super sad to see. The Sun provides so much Vitamin D to the skin, provided you aren't wearing sunglasses which hurt people. Also, no sunscreen, that's poison and stops absorption of Vitamin D. Fresh Milk from a local farm, made from Grass-fed cattle(or properly fed other animals) is also a great source of Vitamin D. Fresh Milk also has calcium and Vitamin K2.

But I injured my shoulder doing drywall work and have been in that pain specifically for 18 months. I upped my dose to 25K this week. I would have sworn I took a pain pill. I am truly blown away. Not only has the shoulder/elbow pain diminished, so has my sternal pain and other muscle/bone pain. I cannot believe it. And, we just recieved CBD oil today to try. So far no difference. Anyway, the vitamin d has been remarkable for us these past 4 days. Glad to know there is research to prove it in the science community. And glad to know there are men like Dr. C that has the fortitude to share it! TY again!

    Another thing that has a big effect on the immune system is a small amount of extended fasting. This will also reduce insulin resistance which keeps your vit D from being locked up in your fat cells! 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. High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers, but some patients may need continued acid reducation medication while fasting. Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors. 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. Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! 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. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also 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. 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 meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. 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, except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. 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. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. 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, which destroys them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. 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 extremely low carbs. 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.

    The D3and K2 definitely helps with RA. I have fibromyaglia and CRPS . I quit all processed foods, chemicals, dyes,deodorants, and sugar. I also find stretching and walking have improved my pain 85%. The other day, i decided to get into the Halloween candy, and 24 hours later, i woke up in agony. Initially, i was shocked by the level of pain caused just by sugar. This has happened with consistency, and i do keep my D3 and K2 levels up,but the sugar will cause you to relapse, and it takes a couple of weeks to feel better. I actually tried carnivore, and surprisingly enough, it worked for me. Although my carbs were 50 grams a day ,no higher, i felt really good and mentally clear. The body counts on magnesium to convert Vit D into its active form.

    "Thank you" for advice you didn't follow because it "wouldn't do a bit of good"? Dr. Campbell has repeatedly missed or avoided relevant talking points throughout the covid years. I listen to him again to keep up to date with what he's willing to broadcast to his large YT audience - not to keep abreast of the literature or take advice. I wish Dr Campbell well in communicating truthful & helpful information to his audience - but for much of this period, his coverage was so blindly in alignment with the official narrative, I simply had to turn him off.

    Right on, John. I suffered with terrible canker sores all my life until I started taking 7,000 mg Vit. D per day about 20 years ago. I spent all childhood summers in the sun in New England and yet, I contracted every childhood disease possible, including several colds a year. I also contracted Polio from the inoculation. Now I use canker sores as a barometer of my immune system function. If I start to feel one developing, I immediately add an additional 2,000-5,000 mg until I have complete healing. It has worked every time. Also I have had just one cold and one mild case of Covid in five years. My Vit. D. blood test consistently shows a reading of 79. I am almost 82 years old and all my blood work is consistently right in target range. BP is 115/70. After seeing your excellent vids. on Vit. D, I am increasing my intake an additional 5,000 per day as insurance, so I do not have to let cankers be my barometer. I also take K2 and Lithium that is a part of my 5,000 morning dose. I also take lots of other vitamins and minerals every day. Thank you for your great videos. Every MD should be required to watch them.

    In 2006 I had my vitamin D level checked. It was 10. (low normal for the lab was 30). Needless to say, I was started on 50,000 unit vitamin D. Now on 5,000 units per day, my level is all least around 50. I FEEL much better and suspect that the vitamin D has helped my seasonal affective disorder/depression and overall health. My grandmother died from colon cancer so I hope that along with 4 colonoscopies, improved diet, and lifestyle modifications my cancer risk is lower. My wife suffered from psoriasis. I suggested that she get her vitamin D level checked as my dad was treated with PUVA in the 1980's for his psoriasis. A nurse fried of hers suggested that she get her vitamin D level checked and, thank goodness she listened to her RN friend. My wife's vitamin D level was 7!!! After 6 months of 50,000 unit vitamin D her psoriasis has cleared and been in remission for a number of YEARS. Thank you for your work improving health through education.

    I have been taking 50,000 iu. per day for the last 4 years and gradually I noticed that all my back, hand and arm pains went away. Fast forward to 2 months ago when I had a blood test and my GP called me to say that my vitamin D levels were alarming and I should stop taking vitamin D until this levels go down. This I did, and the other evening I noticed that the pains I used to have in my arms and hands had come back. It struck me that it could be because I'd stopped taking as much Vitamin D so immediately took a 50,000 iu capsule and have done every day since then...and what would you know, the pains have gone! That for me is proof that Vitamin D has stopped the majority of the pain I used to experience and I should ignore my doctor's advice on this particular issue. also my calcium levels were absolutely normal. I am 66 and my husband is 82. Neither of us is the outdoors type and I avoid the sun because of skin cancer issues so would definitely not get the recommended daily dose of vitamin D from being outside. I constantly recommend my friends to update their intake for a healthier life!

    Just discovered your channel, but I started taking 10,000 IUs of D3 daily about 4 or 5 months ago now. The biggest thing I've noticed so far is that I get tired and fall asleep so much faster once I lay down in bed. I never really had issues getting enough sleep, but it was easy for me to stay up very late at night and sleep long into the day. Now when I lay down at a normal bedtime I actually want to sleep. Just something else that's interesting, this study mentions psoriasis, an inflammatory hereditary skin disease. I have had keratosis pilaris, another inflammatory skin condition thought to be hereditary, on my arms and legs my whole life as far as I know. It always used to look a lot better in the summer when I spent a lot of time playing outside. Nowadays I sit in an office all day, but I've noticed my KP seems to be slowly getting better since starting the D3. Somehow I don't think that's a coincidence.

If you are overweight you might need a bit more like 3000 IU to 4000 IU at most. get bloodwork especially if you intend to take such high amounts..

    I think the reason why it took so long for those patients to reach a plateau was because vitamin D deficiency causes Crohns and Celiac disease, which slows down Vitamin D absorption through the colon. Vitamin D is converted in the Liver as 25-hydroxyvitamin D which is then transformed into an active vitamin in the Kidneys. From there it is used to regulate hormones, as well as assist the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus which, if left to become a dangerous deficiency, starts to leech them from the bones (osteomalacia and osteoporosis), causing bone growth disorders and skeletal deformations in children and adults. The more severe, the more likely kidney disease will occur, and cardiovascular disease from the lack of the Vitamin in the blood. Also asthmatic diseases, high blood pressure, muscle weakness, bone pain, intracellular disorders, and the failure to promote blood cells which alleviate inflammation during illness, viral infection etc etc are all contributory. Long term Vitamin D deficiency leads to cancers: pancreatic and breast cancer, colon, ovarian, uterine, stomach, kidney, prostate, oesophagus etc. The regulated daily is 7000ui to 10000ui, and as described, massive overdoses need to be taken to raise the deficiency out of danger until it reaches normal levels. This Vitamin D fallacy of low dose RDA by the medical profession is no accident. With so many physiological and biological, as well as psychological causations resulting from a lack of Vitamin D and how many are clearly dangerously deficient with its own epidemic of chronic diseases and untimely deaths from cancer cursing mankind, the most prolific drugs with the highest price tags and widespread marketing delivery to treat everything attributed to Vitamin D deficiency as well as C deficiency and Zinc, they've known all along what the right doses are but with people falling sick every 5 minutes from the same ailments and diseases, the profits for drug sales are enormous and none so globally profound in its unscrupulous and evil criminality over human health and human life than the last 3 years. They have done the same with Vitamin C and Zinc for years, with it requiring 14mg per 1kg as a normal daily dosage or for normal RDA 1000mg for men and 950mg for women with extra taken for strenuous work or if pregnant, and again, more must be taken to raise the deficiency back to normal levels. Zinc, another vital nutrient which aids other nutrients works very much together with Vitamin D and C etc. is also lower than what should be taken. If bone issues are contributing to the Vitamin D deficiency, both D and Calcium should be taken together. It should also be known, that wearing sunscreen stops the absorption of Vitamin D. People need to absorb around 15-25 minutes each day to receive a good amount. Those with dark pigments cannot absorb the same as lighter skin pigments so they will require more time in the sun, and possibly supplemented with food and/or vitamin but never on their own. UVB sunlight is absolutely imperative.

    I couldn't imagine working as a doctor nurse through the peak hours of covid it was probably pretty scary wasn't it
