Most strokes are the consequence of those participated in the “just trust the science” program. All cause mortality in millennials was up in 2022 ap. 40% from normal and life expectancy overall in U.S. has decreased by almost 3%, so we know the program was a great success and continues to assist all those in whom this wonderful medical intervention flows through their organs.
What ratio of Vitamin A to Vitamin D should be taken in IU? I need 10K to 30K of vitamin d to help with autoimmune type issues and allergies. I wonder how much vitamin a I should take in this spectrum.
Just a personal observation, I live in Toronto, Canada and workout consistently all year long. I find though in the spring and summer I lose weight and gain it in the fall and winter. I usually run shirtless and spend a lot of time in the sun. I'm curious if the sun (vit.D) has anything to do with it.
The warmer weather probably raises your metabolism so that more calories are burned than during the winter. Toronto is so far to the north that I doubt that much bit. D is absorbed.
@@marktapley7571we definitely get enough UVB up here in the summer for vitamin D synthesis. You might be right about the temperature differences and metabolic rate.
Speaking of vit A, I had a lesion on my arm probably caused by sun damage over the years that would not go away. I tried iodine drops, liposomal vit C to no avail. It had persisted for maybe a year. Then, I tried retinyl palmitate (from a gel cap) and it went away in several days and hasn't returned. I started retinyl palmitate 25k IU/week after that success. Hopefully that is a low enough dose not to be toxic.
Retinol is not toxic (Well all substances are if you overdo it). You just need to balance it with vitamin D, E and K. If you consider vitamin A toxic then you should also consider vitamin D toxic.
A few years back after 8 years low carb, OMAD and Keto.... I decided to go carnivore to see if it further helped my condition; CFS/ ME/ Fibro. NB. I projectile vomit if I eat any kind of offal....even if I am not aware of eating it👀. After 3 months of Carnivore I was dreaming of red peppers, carrots and tomatoes. I realised I must be missing Vit A. So now I eat Carnivo'resq, and I include the foods my body 'tells' me I need.
I have a question about needing K2 with D3 supplementation. We always hear that if you don't get enough K2, D3 can cause calcium to accumulate in the arteries, yet recently I've seen doctors who treat patients with Vitamin D say they have never seen one patient who had this happen. Do we know for a fact that D3 causes this without enough K2?
For many decades I have followed 'natural nutrition ' and 'synergistic food 'combinations. I am of an age where when young we were CONSTANTLY told to eat our greens . Greens 'technically' only supply K1....but what if our systems make K2 out of K1 if needed? The body has an incredible ability to heal itself....but we have to supply the 'goods' eh! I am an advocate of eating 'fresh weeds' ie. nettles, dandelions, plantain, speedwell, self heal, rocket, nasturtium, etc.....GREENS.😂 They are ancestral....and in your back garden! When our DNA trips into translation one of the first thing it needs is methyl augmentation. Methyl is abundant in GREENS. 😁. So, eat your greens....Rhonda states " Three kale leaves a day" will help you enormously. My Mum n Dad said "Get those greens down you, it'll do you good". and also " Get outside and play in the sunshine and fresh air" 😂. So true for so long. 👍
@@esecallum - If that is the same doctor I saw interviewed by Dr Berg in the past week, then that is who I'm talking about. I saw a British Dr interviewed by Dr John Campbell a while back who said the same thing, there are no cases of D3 causing calcification of the arteries. So how did this theory start?
Not only does so-called "vitamin D" have "hormone-like properties", but it is a prohormone. Moreover, the fact that a handful of food items contain "vitamin D3" (AKA cholecalciferol) does not make it any more of a "nutrient" than phytoestrogens. The "natural" source of "vitamin D" is production in the skin and immediate release into the bloodstream, not ingestion. This process requires exposure to UV radiation, which makes sunlight the nutrient and oral ingestion of "vitamin D3" equivalent to replacement rather than supplementation. (Note also that the metabolite measured in the bloodstream to determine "vitamin D" status is calcidiol (25-hydroxy "vitamin D"), which is the intermediate metabolite derived from cholecalciferol by the liver shortly after the latter is released into the bloodstream by the skin.)
Here's a ChatGPT summary: - Vitamin D is crucial for heart, bone, and overall health. - A recent randomized controlled trial studied the effects of combining vitamin D and vitamin A on individuals recovering from a stroke. - The study, conducted in Indonesia, aimed to determine the effect of this combination on interleukin-1 beta, a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in atherosclerosis and stroke. - The 12-week study involved 120 participants divided into four groups: placebo, vitamin D alone, vitamin A alone, and a combination of both vitamins. - The combination of vitamin D and A significantly reduced interleukin-1 beta levels by more than 50%, more than either vitamin alone. - Serum levels of both vitamins A and D were higher in the combination group compared to the individual groups. - Vitamin D and A have hormone-like effects, binding to nuclear receptors and activating genes, unlike other vitamins that act as cofactors in enzymatic reactions. - Foods naturally rich in both vitamins include yogurt, eggs, fish, and liver. - The study suggests that maintaining adequate levels of both vitamins can optimize health, particularly in modulating the immune system. - Higher vitamin A levels are inversely correlated with poor mood states, such as anxiety and depression. - Retinal, the bioactive form of vitamin A, must be obtained from animal-based foods, not plant-based sources. - Vitamin A is essential for vision and immune system health. - The study found that pairing vitamin A with vitamin D increases the levels of both vitamins more effectively than taking them separately. - For those not consuming an omnivorous diet, supplementing with both vitamins might be beneficial. - Main message: Combining vitamin D and vitamin A enhances their levels and has a greater positive impact on reducing inflammation and supporting immune health than taking either vitamin alone.
I have been getting your supplements for a few yrs now. I ordered the essential fatty acids vit D abd was surpto get the updated D with A. Definitely trust all your products❤
I know the presentation of the results seems interesting and kind of "makes sense" but statistically they are irrelevant: - The study had only 120 patient in total. Meaning what 30 people per group? - Placebo has also a very significant effect (but in the opposite direction). What was this placebo? More like nocebo. We also see that IL-1b levels in Placebo group have some crazy spread in the beginning as well as in Vit A group. Seems to me the groups altogether were very dissimilar - basically the error intervals before and after everywhere intersect. and so on.
Also, the Journal where this paper is published is kind of low level with IF less than 1, Q4 in 2020, and so on. Not all published science is of the same quality, unfortunately.
Nah, we don’t gotta do all that analysis if the study supports the sale of our supplements. Small miracle we didn’t have to hear about the overpriced electrolytes during this commercial.
100% morning, you want to simulate nature, I read that at night might not be beneficial for melatonin production, .... If you miss one morning, just wait till the next day.
Excellent presentation. One thing I would mention is carrots as a great source of vitamin A. However, juicing them is best for maximum vitamin A absorption. Drink the carrot juice 1/2-1 hr before eating anything else as it may interfere with absorption of other nutrients, including vitamins.
Carrots only have the precursor to vitamin A, beta-carotene which is not absorbed very well. By juicing carrots, you are mainly just getting a big load of carbs.
A few years ago I made a point to eat a couple carrots every night with dinner. Made a huge difference in my BP, anecdotal evidence but made a huge difference for me, they are an excellent source of vitamin A.
OMG who's saying that?? I've been working with clients since 2006, have seen mostly overwhelming health benefits when people optimize their vitamin D levels.
@@Highintensityhealth I’ve taken it too.. for about 15 years, but the form cholecalciferol, which is what I understand is the best form, is found in rat poison. Talked about in several substacks.
