University Lecture: The D-Lightful Vitamin D for Health by Michael F. Holick 

How much do you take, please? I love to tell people about natural cures.

God Almighty Is Supreme! We Are His Own Children! Amen!

@@patriot20000 Me too the sun and lake water or the ocean always helps, also turmeric, and a whole foods plant based diet took my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis away at its worst psoriasis covered over 90 percent of my body, from my scalp face and to my toes, after the yellow fever vaccine I took to go overseas in 2014, my story is on Facebook. Gluten makes my psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis acts up again so Im not cured but its managed and I can walk and take care od my kids instead of being disabled due to the debilitating arthritis and my skin is clear now! "FORKS over Knives" documentary explains a whole foods plant based diet. This diet works great for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia and other arthritis as well. Theres stories of all kinds on line on the forks over knives website

they don't recommend vitamin D because they are taught it's dangerous. Why ? I have no idea.

that's great, and you would never have had an MD suggest any of these treatments. I have skin issues as well and vitamin D helps greatly. Doctors always prescribe medications and they never helped.

I had exactly the same experience. I doubled mine to 6000iu/day and by the end of that same day felt better( like about 20 years younger).

well done Antonio; you have cured yourself.

@@geoffarden917 God Bless Everybody!Amen!

If you have health insurance they will pay for one test a year which I think everyone should request from their doctor. I am 67 and take 15,000 to 20,000 D with 240mic. K2 and magnesium everyday. My level is at 80ng. which is where I notice the most benefits.

10,000 iu/day of vitd3 is a maintenance dose, 20,000 - 50,000 iu/day wd b a therapeutic dose.

Agree, AM is better than PM sun!

I also agree, but I 'd like to know why?

@@bajajoes1 10am -2pm for 15 mins to receive the entire spectrum.

A naturopath told me to go in the sun 15-20 min. between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., to wear a hat, have arms and legs bare. Traditionally we've been told to avoid the sun at that time, but apparently this is the best time for Vit. D production.

50K a week? 25iu/day ? 50iu?

What is the title of his book ?

God Bless!

You are lucky to know about vitamin D early. I am 67 and keep mine at 80 presently with 15,000 to 20,000 IU's and 240mic K2. I also tell everyone about vit. D because I was tested ten years ago and was at a 6ng. I kept having recurring shingles and my thyroid was low. I changed my diet to organic foods only, lost weight, and am so grateful for spotting a book on vitamin D. It changed my life.

And don't forget to tell people Vit supp colcalceferol (sp?) Is a fat soluble vit, take w salmon oil, or flax or w your virgin Ovolio infused protein shake. Love those to break my fast= breakfast. Low sugar as use little juice.

@@tamaraday9421 per Weston Price org grass-fed milk/dairy has the good form of vit K.

@@mishaanton5436 mine comes with coconut oil in the capsule

Only do calcium through food intake. Do not use calcium supplements. They will cause kidney problems.

Yes Yes Yes magnesium!

K2 also

Wendy Jones ❤️. I’m frank was having an awful day. Woke up after a nap, you tube on the iPhone playing on auto. Great stuff to sleep to. Subjects: Insulin deficiency, Metabolic syndrome you know, cause everyone does these days. I’m taking my vitamins which included 1600mgs of Magnesium, turned on Netflix and Jim Carrey’s movie 🎥 .... “Yes man” . Well I needed so ask God and did to tell what to do plainly

Wendy Jones Wendy this is a sign of ALMIGHTY GOD. Yeses and magnesium all at once. Thanks for being part of The Miracles🎚🙏❤️🎚

Hi Debbie. You can go to any walk-in blood lab and Pay to have your blood tested. They will e-mail You the results. And there is a doctor on RU-vid (can't remember the name) but he/she says no one should Ever take calcium supplements. So, if you do I would definitely check out the MK7 form of K2. And research the right magnesium to take..

God Bless!Amen!

You might want to look at magnesium.

Tish Leigh Definitely 👍

Not everyone can get enough D from being outdoors. Plus you need to expose a large part of your body.But yes we need our sunshine!!

Cause nobody cares if the black race dies. It’s pitiful. The covid 19 so called experts say they are looking into why people of color are more affected They already know why!

@@bonitathompson1640 Don't think that they don't already have a cure. I'm sorry, I mean vaccines. They aren't going to stop their cash cow. Since we can no longer have meaningful wars, they have to get the population lower. With the technology available we don't dare mess with people with our capabilities. We could blow the world up seven times. If we wiped out 3rd world countries we'd look like the bullies we are. Now we have an over abundance of uneducated, poor and minorities that wars could have gotten rid of ( Sarcasm). The government has been paying people for years to do research on health. They have the information. ( Follow the money. ) it doesn't benefit them for you to keep your social security benefits going on past 100 because your health is great. They need us to die off naturally. Smoking, drinking, drugs, poor nutrition and of course the number reason for death. Death by Dr. They say it's the number 3 cause but we will eventually find out it's the number 1 cause.. You would be amazed at how many people died taking drugs the way the Dr.s' prescribed. They are well aware that Hippocrates had it right when he stated," Let food be they medicine ".Unfortunately now they are tampering with our food beware of GMOS. An orange today has 1/5 the nutrients it did 30 years ago. That's not an accident. Most of us would like to think that the Government would not do us any harm. Look up the autism rates for little black and brown boys after they get them mmr shots. Sorry for going off on a tangent. Bill Gates is a eugenics guy like Hitler and Margaret Sanger of planned parenthood fame. One of Hilary Clinton's idols. Margaret Sanger says Black people are like weeds that need to be exterminated. Probably why they tell all these young people to stick long term birth control in their bodies yet who knows what harm is being done with all of those excessive amounts of hormones. Between this and mass incarceration of young black men no wonder our population remains at 13%.

It’s the same here where I live (UK) and also I’ve read the same in Sweden. Absolutely no doubt vitamin D deficiency has had an impact on the virus.

It might be that Vitamin D supplements are low cost and DIY. The medical profession can be slow to recommend self care. In the pandemic, the media talks over and over about politics and "science", yet don't often understand the specific medical science involved in inflammation. "Science" has become a magic word that few understands.

He's still alive and active.

MK7 is supposed to be best. I alternate.

Research boron as well. Helps distribute calcium and so many other benefits

Swazer Swazers what about insomnia? Do you get it? When I take D3 I cannot sleep!

Just ignorance. The FDA was clueless when they made their stupid RDA recommendations. Though I would absolutely have my blood tested before and periodically if you take that much.

@@patriot20000 Once you develop a TAN, its almost impossible to get too much sun. I worked on Harvest(combining) and was in the sun 10 hrs/day in Summer for 3 months w/o shirt. Got very dark bit no ill effects.

You'll need the K2 to help there. I take mine also with magnesium and vit C. I get headaches if I don't have adequate magnesium and it is also needed with synthetic vit D.

Holick recommends 2000 IU a day. Not 20.000 a week .

At work places there should be Sun breaks.

centpushups, not really sure what you mean by your comment about seniors smoking. Do you mean that factory made cigs are so full of Formaldehyde and is manifesting in preserving the body prior to death? Or am I far from the mark? My mother died as a direct result of her husband of 65 years passed just 24 hours before and a smoking related disease, Emphysema. RIP Mum & Dad, 11 & 12 /03/2012 Don’t smoke kids! God bless

@@carolstapleton9108 I have lost two family members to emphysema. They were on oxygen and continued to smoke. I saw what they went through and it was horrible.

This and the switch from saturated fat to PUFAs high in omega 6

@@Augusto9588 yes!

Processed foods full of chemicals and sugar destroy your gut bacteria which should be getting organic fiber filled foods everyday so your body is healthy and not inflammed everywhere.

Yet, it is easy to get tested for Vitamin D levels. If you're not sure, get tested.

I'd say you were lucky to be allergic to statins. It's the biggest scam since insulin for Type 2 diabetes. SO harmful with a .5 to 1.5% (yes!) benefit! You could get from eating an apple or taking a walk. And that pitiful benefit is ONLY for people who have already had a heart attack! So don't you think Some of those people started exercising and/or eating better? I begged my s-i-l (who had no issues but age 57) not to take it. She started getting terrible leg pains, she said it must be from her new winter boots. I begged her again to stop. Finally she did. The leg pains went away. She still wears the boots, no problems. I have studied health and nutrition for 45 years. Please people, DON'T take this crap.

@@patriot20000 For those who think they need STATINS, consider that your BRAIN is mostly Cholesterol & what STATINS are doing to it. Most folks who begin STATINS suffer great pain from STATINS.

@@patriot20000 you are absolutely right. I sat in on a panel discussion of statins. Out of 100 people it only helps 13. Eight real well and 5 moderately and those are people with prior heart issues. It doesn't benefit African Americans, women or the elderly. It only really benefit middle aged caucasian males. Perhaps that is why you only see them in the commercials. By the way if you aren't a middle aged caucasian male , you are more likely to end up with diabetes.

Cynthia, you may want to cut back on your milk consumption if it comes out of a cow. There's a joke about how every time they do a milk study they use skim milk. Most people don't drink skim milk. The reason that they use skim milk is that they want you to be around at the end of the study. The bovine growth hormone in milk will mess most people up in time. Most of us loose the ability to break down lactic acid after we turn 2.

Cynthia McClure, take Lugalls solution iodine for your thyroid issues. You will thank me later. It doesn't matter if you have hypo or hyper it fixes both. People use to have problems back in the day with iodine deficiency and were developing goiter. They started adding it to salt and that worked for a little bit. Then people cut back on salt.

It's usually related to smoking, heart disease, lack of exercise/inactivity, or birth control bills.

You might look into getting the microbiome ..gut bacteria healthy so you reduce the inflammation in your lungs.

I heard about it ten years ago from a book in a store. Took it to my doctor, got tested, and I was severely deficient at 6ng. Doctors prescribe drugs for symptoms. They on the average do not study nutrition in school. Sad isn't it. You really have to study it yourself and use your doctor to get tests. I get tested once a year for d and keep mine at 80ng.

After the WW2, all babies in Britain were given cod liver oil, by the government, to protect against rickets.

how is that working against covid so far?

It's Science.

@@jasonchambers8010 No, its a hypothesis - never proven scientifically. Therefore, it developed into a religion, hiding behind a fake science mask. Look into the real scientific Intelligent Design work of those like Stephen Meyer and check out Ben Stein's EXPELLED NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED.

he supports UVB exposure as the best source for ''making'' D3....Solariums and tanning salons that have the ''narrow wavelength'' UVB light could be an alternate source for UVB rays...

Most of the year sunlight is not consistent. Just getting a supplement for these areas is better. But time needed varies from person by gender, skin type, and age.

THE AMA & ADA ARE HEADED UP BY VERY EVIL GROUPS ...

So simple... Yet, now, paralysed by pharma, we're back in the dark ages when it comes to medical treatment. Before the invention of antibiotics the infected was treated with fresh air and sunshine: medium.com/@ra.hobday/coronavirus-and-the-sun-a-lesson-from-the-1918-influenza-pandemic-509151dc8065

There is a holistic doctor who recommends a certain type of tanning bed if you can't get sun. Dr. Joel Fuhrman, I think. Lucky guy walks on the beach in CA every day.

Apparently Dr Brownstein who uses iodine treatment with his patients has been asked by the FDA to stop publishing his blog where there are testimonials from his patients.

Seal blubber

@@ricknash3055 But 2 old skeletons were found (ancient, if I recall) under the wreck of their structure. They were a mummified woman and her daughter under snow/ice. They both had curved leg bones from rickets.

@@ricknash3055 Yep. Amazing. They also eat the whole fish so they got plenty of Vitamin D3

@@paulgarcia1566 the same firr Scandanavians. They also eat a lot of oily fish.

And what difference have you noticed ?

@@heidivernathorbjornsen475 I want to know that too!!

What‘s your weight and what‘s your Vit D3 blood level ? This would be very nice to know and helpfull! br

I take 1,000 IU each day, but as the weather is warm where i live at the moment 20-30 minutes outside in the sun also gives me 20,000 IU, I believe.

Usually people take that amount every other day or once a week. Are you taking K2 with it. Are you getting tested for D levels once a year?

And if I can generalize: African blacks have larger mouths full of beautiful white teeth. No braces ever needed and no cavities. Related to all that sun? My African friends had Zero cavities and never needed white strips! Meanwhile, I have a mouth full of fillings and needed braces. Almost every white kid I know needed braces. Our jaw bones are too small.

Farmed salmon has VD... it’s like 25% of your daily value where wild is 32%. Humans usually cannot absorb the vitamins in the form they come from in algae. Like vitamin B3.

You can get D from an algae sourced supplement if I remember or maybe I am thinking of omega 3's!

Hope you're being sarcastic, the Hippocratic oath is do no harm, and use food as thy medication, the body is capable of healing it's self, with nutrition, all Pharmaceutical drugs are poison, you can't overdose on food,

Because?
