The Surprising Link Between Vitamin D and Your Sleep Neurotransmitter Acetylcholine 

And sun glasses

It was well before that! And that’s only one aspect…

Sophie, I did not know that Lard was a source of Vit.D. You mention wrong turn forty odd years ago. I would go back further, to the use of Organo-phosphate pesticides , from WW2 increasingly onwards. The sperm count has dropped enormously since WW2, by the late eighties had halved , many percentage reports of further drops. Organo-phos. stops fast dividing cells, hence used as Chemotherapy. I have not found any thing written that Organo-phos. prevents or blocks absorption of Vit D. but am intuitively certain of it. Another source removed from our diet, is that the Homogenisation of milk kills all the Vit D. You may recall the epidemic of Brittle Bone Disease , amongst the generation that might have been described as Housewives , coincided with this removal. I have so called ME/CFS, (I am certain is Organo-phos poisoning) after repeated exertion I used to go into a condition I thought of as Wobblytot, I would crave milk to such an extent I even wondered as to regression. In 1998, my Doctor finally recognised it as Tetany (Hypoparathyroidism). Milk gave me no relief, then learned of the homogenisation effect. Since I have used Evaporated Milk in tea coffee and cooking., a can gives about twice RDA. Viktor Meyer, the German Chemist, who did much of the original research into Organo-phosphates, had a Lab assistant who went down ill. Who was presumed to be either faking or to have a mental condition. Untill Meyer proved the condition with animal tests. Meyer went on to be Head of Chemistry at Heidelberg University , taking over from his mentor Bunsen, although he had to be persuaded into accepting the prestigious appt. Meyer committed suicide just before his fiftieth birthday, despite being a family man. After what was described as a number of breakdowns, none of which he seemed to fully recover from. Both in the way viewed and sad outcome, just like ME/CFS. I'll end here, for years I have been circling Organo-phos. Vit D., Type 2 Diabetes, Alzheimers , Parkinson's, Anorexia etc.Dr Gominak is astounding.

@@ianbanner9292 It's not all lard, only lard from a pasture-raised pig that is out in the sunshine. The majority of the pork and chicken in grocery stores is kept inside a barn their whole life.

@@ianbanner9292 With the organophosphate conundrum you have to look into how the herbicides deactivate the acetylcholinesterase enzyme that metabolises acetylcholine. Causeing acetylcholine to build

Lard is pig fat. Bible abhors pigs period. Its an abomination to God.

This made so much sense. One of the best interviews I’ve ever listened to.

I agree with you, Sophie. I.'ve been working with making my own yoghurt w whole milk.

Why would an adult human need the breast milk designed to promote massive growth in another mammal. We did not evolve for dairy. Just save your health and drop it !

@@marlamarlow7006 can u please tell me how to make yogurt at home. I appreciate

@@mrscpc1918 Actually the peoples of Northern Europe evolved to drink and fermented goat milk during to long winters . It gave nutrient dense foods with vitamin D 3 from the stores hay via milk and cheese.

They stopped practicing medicine pretty over 50 years ago

AGREE!!!!

What is REM can some one tell me please? Thank you.

@@johngoh767 Acronym for Rapid Eye Movement, it's a sleep phase where the eyes can be seen to move back and forth, but the body itself is paralyzed in order to effect cellular regeneration processes. Muscle cells need this off time in order to divide and grow, release lactic acid, obtain nutrients and chemicals in the blood. Immune cells are mostly active at this time as well so it's vital to get good REM sleep.

Is REM sleep a name for deep sleep?

@@snowyowl6892 Yes, the deepest sleep possible and the most beneficial.

@@leebarnes655 thank you

Two SCIENTISTS: infinitely more knowledgeable than rock stars!

you might want to learn how to spell the doctor's name correctly!!!

Good luck with your sleep. My 25 yr old daughter have had sleep problems since her teens. The doctors were zero help so I'm hoping I get some helpful info from this video as well.

When do you take your vitamin d

Try magnesium maleate or glycinate. Do the research. All the best.

@@Ohkeh640 early AM same with B Complex now

@@trembling3674 never before bed with D or B complex but magnesium at bedtime seems beneficial to me - generally light exposure and caffeine are my usual insomnia makers

Sounds interesting, but I don't have an hour and a half to listen. Wish the videos were much shorter. Dr. Berg explains things in about 3 minutes. Just as an example. Any chance you can make some short videos for us time challenged people?

@@cjcj2010 download it on your phone and listen to it on your commute. I listen while I do my household chores.

That was the most informative information on insomnia I have ever heard. Glad I found this information

@@cjcj2010 I go to playback settings and adjust the speed. At 2x normal you have cut the listening time in half. Intelligibility is usually not a problem, you can pause and go back 10 or 20 or 30 seconds with double Taps on your phone screen. Most people don't speak so rapidly that 2x normal is problematic. Adjust speed for your comfort and comprehension.

@@cjcj2010 it's worth the watch but there are shorter snippets on RU-vid and short articles to read on her site. Dr Berg doesn't have this information.

Great info, thank you so much !

Excellent time well spent here, i agree!!

Hi,Any update on how u feel now after taking vit d?

Very interesting. We clearly do better if we are outdoors most of the time!

What is DSD ?

@@BCSTS I should have written DSPD for delayed sleep phase disorder

Dr Michael Holick has very good information. He has 40 years of research and study on VitD

Well, I completely agree with you, but respectfully, I’m not sure she meant to minimize it as much as she meant to elucidate the importance of other factors involving VD that are totally overshadowed by bone health. In any event, it is incumbent upon SCIENTISTS, not politicians or businesses, to get VD figured out in its entirety and educate everyone. These two beautiful minds epitomize the art of medicine.

@@karenf9137 yes

@@Noor-jw2tn I love, dr Holick. Have given his book on D out over twenty times. Saw him in 2016 in Boston.

Thanks Golden. Good point. At the risk of vilifying the sunflower, I would add a word or two of caution. A while back, a doctor was advising a caller on a radio program, don’t eat a lot of sunflower seeds. Then a few years later on RU-vid I searched “remedy for removing lead from the soil”. Turns out there are several plants that, rather efficiently leach lead from the soil. Whether or not the seeds or other edible parts are contaminated, is another story.

Not anymore.

Yes once a year it is free in Australia 🇦🇺

No cost to you…

I would be cautious about Jack Kruse. However he does have some good info.

@@Noor-jw2tn please outline this caution so we may be Informed and not led astray. Thank you

I am ver impressed with Dr Jack Kruse - Not. .. will you help us by sharing any cons about Kruse’s protocols Would be grateful .... thanks !

Dr. Jack advocates for higher protein levels than would be optimal for women. Check out Sarah Kleiner Wellness. Otherwise he is on target.

Did you gain weight? I was a pack a day smoker for 30 years, minus 7 years of pregnancy/nursing. Every time I stopped smoking, I gained a significant amount of weight. I attributed it to the pregnancies. As soon as I started smoking again, the weight came off . Again, I attributed it to working out (although I worked out through the pregnancies). I quit smoking cold turkey almost two years ago (not due to pregnancy) and I have gained at least 15 lbs and still gaining even though I continue to work out. I had blood work done twice in the past two years and my Vit D has been either low or on the low side of normal (28 and 33). I started taking Vit D (10000ui) and B100 about 2 weeks ago to see if my weight will drop. I’m at a loss but hopeful. Now hearing this, I’m debating taking nicotine supplements. I have no desire to smoke again.

@@christistruth705 How's your weight loss going? And being a non-smoker?

@@christistruth705 Gominak's program mentions that it's the b vitamins in her program that helps weight, not just d

Yes, it was recorded a few weeks ago.

I hope your interview is seen by millions!

How high a dose and best form of Vitamin C?

Dr Gominak is brilliant. The audio is crap.

It helps taking magnesium with the D as well

I've been taking 10,000 IU of D3 with K2 as MK7 for a year (although some weeks I haven't be very consistent at taking it every day), my BMI is high so I need more than I would at normal weight, but my recent blood test has me at 69 ng of D in my blood which is good, still waking up at 3 AM though. Going to try B5 next.

@@ustinia5717 Optimal is 80 ng/mL (200 nmol/L) So your number is not too high.

@@ustinia5717 sun light exposure not only the vitamin d

Boron and glutathione as well

You may have the non-celiac gluten sensitivity gene called HLA-DQ1*06:02 which is associated with MS, narcolepsy and neurological issues. For me it caused brain inflammation, memory issues and leaky gut. Stopped all things wheat/gluten and my health has improved every year! I have my brain and health back. Just working on making it even better.

Hello do you take vitamin d at night

Hello, Tracey Morrisette. Yes, I recently started taking it with my evening meal.

@@traceymorrissette9400 you want to take vit d with fat, so its absorbed better. Take it with a meal.

My husband was finally able to get off of it, he weaned off of it and continued to use Heartburn tx. He watch videos about it and it's the best thing he's ever done. There is a doctor on you tube that talks about you not having enough acid in your stomach. I know, sounds strange... but he just takes this powder stuff a few times a week now. Oh and he takes the HCL with pepsin to put acid in the stomach

amlabs: watch Dr. Eric Berg’s videos on this subject. It may help you.
