Dr. Paul Mason - 'The 5 Minute Vitamin D Talk' 

the same! :)

Yes, he does a good job of making things understandable...

He's a rock star!!!

Brilliant listenable young man!

Same here! Brilliant human being

Keys works should be stricken out of all references! He murdered and maimed millions with his lies !

@@thalesnemo2841 Or got millions on antidepressants and mentally illness

@@thalesnemo2841 Agreed, but he also lived to 100. So, what's up with that?

​@@lawdogwales5921 What does him living to 100 prove?

Yes he cured me from veganism, eating fibre, and many other things. Now I don't take any drugs, lost weight naturally and feel great thanks to him.

He's a pleasure to listen to. You can tell he's a really kind man as well. 💗

I'm pretty sure this is due to a reduction in excess PUFA intake, specifically Linoleic Acid. Over time avoiding seed oils and other foods high in Linoleic acid, I've noted I am sunburn resistant. I just spent 8 hours in the sun without prior exposure this year. While I did burn slightly, it was very minor, did not hurt at all, then fully healed in a few days. I've also noted an end to chronic pain, arthritis, asthma, reduced allergy severity, and improved cognition and mental health. I'm mostly animal based, but probably moderate carb at this point after 5 years of avoiding Linoleic Acid. I'm not 100% sure the primary cause was the linoleic acid, but am fairly confident. I'm of course open to other ideas and potential causes though, if given convincing and robust data.

What's hypercarnivore?

I, unfortunately, can't. Got burned just the same this spring as the last.

@@AnnabellaRedwood good question, maybe just eating raw meat and nothing else?

I agree. I went Ketovore and now I can go unprotected into the summer sun and not get burned. Quite amazing. It is truly correct. I don't eat anything but pure meat, fat and organs and I now do not fear the sun at all. I just get tanned and it feels good. For 25 years I would have been burned. It's definitely correct that Ketovore gives you sun tolerance.

A simple smart girl ❤

Unfortunately this was just an 'off the cuff' talk so there is no 'full talk'. I was considering doing a presentation on vitamin D, however I changed my mind to do a deep dive on cholesterol and heart disease instead. The conference programme indicated I was going to do something on vitamin D however, so Rod Tayler asked me to give a short impromtu talk on vitamin D.

@@drpaulmasonMD Hi Paul, firstly you're amazing, I'm kind of addicted to macadamia nut butter, generally otherwise a carnivore diet - but I top up my fat with macadamia nut butter as it's divine and it helped get me off all high-carb and sugar sources!! I thought it was the perfect nut - high in sat/monounsat fats, v. low pufa, low in phytic acid, allergies uncommon... BUT - could the phytosterols contained be a hidden problem? I have at least 100g a day... but concerned about the possible phytosterols which you have also mentioned before are undesirable. Would truly appreciate your thoughts... might I be setting myself up for future cardiovascular complications by my innocent (so I thought) macadamia nut consumption :D

@@MrSidReal I think the research is divided and conflicted on that issue. a lot. 100g is probably a lot from my personal experiences with the nuts themselves. when consuming nuts, I think it is wise to ponder how difficult it is to open them. and. thus. how many could you actually eat (vs a bag of shelled .. or a crushed product in a jar). nature put them in a hard tough shell for a multitude of reasons. if you are seeking benefit .. I would stick to whole foods ... such as Nuts: macadamia nuts, hazelnuts Seeds: watermelon seeds Fruits: pineapples, oranges, berries, bananas, apples, apricots Vegetables: artichokes, sweet potatoes, celery, cauliflower Legumes: mung beans. Oils: olive oil, argan oil. and be thankful that the mac-butter has let you transition to a better state of being. keep going.

Interesting.

Amazing, what a brilliant discovery; it's almost like vitamin D is stored in the fat precisely because it's so important. Man, what a moron that guy must be. When the vitamin D reserves run out, many of those people are going to experience serious adverse consequences.

BUT NOT EVERYBODY WANT TO DO KETO°

@@DP-yu4rr You missed the point. It's not about Keto. It's about losing body fat by any means. A published study titled "Vitamin D Deficiency: Consequence or Cause of Obesity?" says "weight loss is currently the only actually proven treatment that leads to improvement in a number of disorders, including Vitamin D deficiency."

@@Slopo777 interesting

he also gave a presentation on benefits of UVA vs UVB. worth a watch!

The worst things to ever happen in OZ were Slip Slop Slap and Don't eat red meat and saturated fat. Since going Ketovore I am so much more sun tolerant and don't burn. I have never used sun screen.

Sun bathing your eyes, not directly to the retina, is really good for your brain chemistry. Check out doc Huberman.

I'm not sure what Mason's overall point is here thought. I think he's saying getting vitamin D via the sun is good. But it won't work if you're obese. Is that the main point YourLifeRedifined?

yes

That's the proper human diet.

Ketovore is such a funny word, since it implies "eating ketones" even if it means halfway between a pure animal-based die and an unrestricted ketogenic diet.

I don’t eat meat, try and prioritise fruit, and same; love the sun and don’t get burnt.

Tim Spector of the ZOE program, in his Twins study, found there is no one perfect diet. Diff. diets affect diff. people differently. The key is to find what works for YOU!@@Matto_Harvo

We should get something straight: sunlight is life.

one of our sources of supplemental vitamin d3 was (not sure these days) from sheep's wool. So animals can make d3 from hair/fur, skin or if carnivores, from food. Fish get vitamin d from plankton who get their vitamin d from the sun and are very very good at the process of making this vitamin.

Concerning patients with low vit D. He talks exactly about that. People with large BMI were also at considerably higher risk. Since vit D is fat soluble one can argue that the same intake of vitamin D manifests itself in lower blood values in people with large BMI. And large BMI correlates with poor metabolic health.

You are absolutely correct that we can synthesise nitric oxide from the sun which has significant health benefits - this however is produced by UV-A rather than UV-B which stimulates vitamin D production -- all covered in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kvh4D_osFXs.html

@@FedorBP But this is also an association only. The real question is whether it s the obesity which lowers vit D in the blood stream, or rather the same condition which has caused obesity is also what is causing vit D deficiency. I would bet the later (dietary sugar and subsequent high insulin being the most suspicious)...

Me too. Sometimes I'm a red lobster, but then it turns tan. Never burns.

Many people don't burn. People with darker skin. White people with darker skin don't really burn. What shade of white dude are you?

This sounds amazing to me... I get sick almost weekly for the past 4 months and it's really making me go insane.... Meanwhile everyone else is fine ... I just order 50k IU to take weekly so I'm gonna see if that helps... I have a new born so I'm sure he is sucking the vitamin d stored out of me and plus we r indoors a lot

@1TLA7 good luck I suggest you take zinc and magnesium glycinate as well.

Not all sun is damaging. UV-A which stimulates the production of nitric oxide is quite beneficial. Unfortunately I was just asked to speak for 5 minutues, and I was getting the 'your time is up' signal from the back as I was about to discuss nitric oxide.

@@drpaulmasonMD Glad you replied to this excellent comment.

Not only has he "undershot the truth", he's a clueless moron with zero idea what he's talking about.

@@drpaulmasonMD: So you decided, "hmm, how can I cram as much as possible of the diametric opposite of the truth into this 5-minute presentation?"; nice going, well done; you certainly achieved your objective.

I agree. Just not overhead sun that will burn you.

It seems that it is specifically sugar what depletes vit D (and vit D being able to counteract to some degree the damage done by sugar).

That's exactly what I think. The level "number" required for carb eaters is different from that of carnivores/ low-carbers.

This is my experience. I used to fear getting burned and now I go in the hot midday Qld summer sun and simply go brown with no burning. Ketovore makes you sun tolerant.

sounds great. i am having olive oil instead of butter and lard to see if my psoriasis improves. when you quit seed oils, did you even quit olive oil?

How did ya go about fixing that ratio specifically?

I also experienced this, also on the Gold Coast and I try to spend at least half an hour a day in the sun now since last year June.

@@DaKeezl I quit all oils plant oils, including Avo, Olive & Coconut. Dr Mason has a talk on how plant oils are slightly different to animal oils, search "Differences between phytosterols with different structures in regulating cholesterol synthesis, transport and metabolism in Caco-2 cells"

Maybe we don’t need much d3 if it’s natural (from diet and from the Sun) but for sure we need lots of sunshine.

There is no doubt there are other benefits of sunlight exposure, mainly relating to nitric oxide. I discuss that in this older lecture - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kvh4D_osFXs.html. (also circadian entrainment is also hugely beneficial).

Good question, to me the vitamin D from supplements to treat Covid initially seem positive, but subsequent looks were not so positive. What seem to be the positive affect was the exposure to sunlight, and the things you talked about, including melatonin at the myocardial level. However, the larger point of this presentation to me is the idea of supplements. On the one hand, unhealthy people take supplements to be healthy and the research on that does not bear out supplements work. The question is do metabolically healthy people need to be taking supplements and I think Dr. Paul is saying vitamin D may not be needed for people with healthy diets and lifestyles.

Yes you do. You need both.

And for intra cellular melatonin

there's almost nothing he is saying here that is accurate on vitamin d, it's like he just threw some shite together because that's what he believes.

Studies have shown Vit D is important in immune function, and on a cellular level. Vit D produced within the cell is likely superior. In a similar manner, melatonin is produced in the mitochondria when exposed to near infrared light. Being an antioxidant, this can help combat reactive oxygen species. This is in much larger quantities and more effective than the melatonin produced by your pineal gland.

Given how low risk even milligrams of daily vitamin D3 seem to be, and of the potential benefits, I'm not going to stop microgram level supplementation anytime soon. The discussion around it is interesting though, and likely the purpose of the talk/video, rather than convincing people to stop supplementing.

No it's not. It's lop sided.

I can't stop laughing. Do you seriously believe your own bullshit? Inuit blood sugar levels are perfectly fine? Inuits have historically been the shortest-living and most disease-ridden populations on the entire planet by a wide margin. And no, it's not because of "Western diet", it's their traditional diet which has historically led to those abysmal outcomes. In fact, the opposite is true: more access to "Western" foods has drastically served to improve their health. Get a grip. *_«These data show high CHD and stroke prevalence in Alaska Eskimos, despite low average LDL-C and high HDL-C. Hypertension and high LDL-C were independent correlates; identifying these risk factors early and treating to target is recommended.»_* *_«The current belief that the Inuit are protected from CVD is seriously questioned by the results of the present study. Considering the extremely high prevalence of CVD risk factors, a population-based intervention reinforced for women is urgently needed to reduce their risk.»_* *_«The data collected through this new investigation shows that Eskimos do have a similar prevalence of CAD to non-Eskimo populations, and in fact, they have very high rates of mortality due to cerebrovascular events (strokes). Overall, their life expectancy is approximately 10 years less than the typical Danish population and their overall mortality is twice as high as that of non-Eskimo populations.»_* *_«“Considering the dismal health status of Eskimos, it is remarkable that instead of labeling their diet as dangerous to health, a hypothesis has been construed that dietary intake of marine fats prevents CAD and reduces atherosclerotic burden,” remarks Dr. Fodor.»_* *_«The mortality from all cardiovascular diseases combined is not lower among the Inuit than in white comparison populations. If the mortality from IHD is low, it seems not to be associated with a low prevalence of general atherosclerosis. A decreasing trend in mortality from IHD in Inuit populations undergoing rapid westernization supports the need for a critical rethinking of cardiovascular epidemiology among the Inuit and the role of a marine diet in this population.»_*

Thought the same!

But do you get tanned?

@@byoken yes. It is a weird phenomena. Every year (not as a child late 60's or early 70's) I would get burned quite easily that first couple/few times out. You do not realize but when you get home it comes on.... peeling every year. Been 100% carnivore for 2 summers now and both times no sunburn WSE. Not to mention the shopping list of illnesses I cured doing it...metabolic (severe), liver, prediabetes, chronic hay fever, polymyalgia rhuematica, chronic fatigue.

All those people most likely ate meat with high amounts of sugar and unhealthy carbs. Fries, soda, bread, ketchup.

or....9,000. :-)

You may want to try to use a SAD light during the winter months. Look into it.

" According to the results of this study, lower vitamin D levels will cause higher platelet counts in people with normal calcium and magnesium levels. " As per - cms.galenos.com.tr/Uploads/Article_40039/GMJ-62-174-En.pdf

Wow. Thanks for sharing this!

Supplemental dose of vitamin D3 is 600-800 IU /day (NIH,America). Maximum tolerable dose is 4000 IU/day.Check your Vitamin D level in blood which should be 50-125 nmol/L . Blessed be.

@@mithidas4295 thank you!

I also take 5000 IU a day Got my blood tested and the results were: 170 nmol/L It’s Above the ”optimum levels” but it’s still in the range which you can aquire naturally by the sun. Toxic levels are 375 btw. So I will continue taking 5000 IU and cut down a bit when I’m out in the sun.

His theory is a huge stretch. Seems like he confused vitamin D with melanin. As vitamin D synthesis drops after melanin production kicks in. So if you are tanned you produce less vitamin D.

hi bro , how do you feel on it ?

Supplemental dose of vitamin D3 is 600 IU/day(NIH,America).In spite of higher dose your D3 level is within normal range.Some factors must be playing.What other medicines are you taking?

Did you take K2 too? If not then you can be happy with your 42.9ng/ML. You need K2 for better absorption

@@mithidas4295 Perhaps the D3 supplements are not that effective, no matter what your dose.

What is your bmi?? and weight?

The sunscreen/cover prevents your body from producing vit D. It does seem common for very low levels of vitD in populations of sunny places where sun exposure is avoided, or screened, with low animal fat diets providing hardly any either.

I eat organs every week and soon having my OMAD liver mince. Bloods and Lipids perfect.

and from pills too. I am very confused about vit. A. Even more than d3 alone. Would like dr Mason checked / debate Morley Robins on retinol & d3.

Hmm.. I think it's scary how people can change their beliefs after a 5 minute talk of one person expressing his thoughts without showing any bit of evidence. It's a research and discussion subject at best, I don't see the slam dunk.
