You can't know how much this video has meant to me. My mother and her sister both died with Alzheimer's. As did their material aunts. Their mother died of uterine cancer before she was old enough to develope it. I have stage 3 kidney disease and was placed on D3 eight years ago because of that. I am 71 and have worried for a long time that I would definitely develope Alzheimer's. You have given me hope. Thank you for all you do.
Add Nattokinase, Lion's Mane (dual extract), K2 (you already use D3), MCT oil, a good active B complex (my favorite is the AOR version) and CDP-choline. I gave this to my aging parents when they started to get a bit senile. I got them to start working out at the gym several times a week and do regular long walks and it helps a lot to keep the health and function you got also. All this improves the brain's ability to keep healthy and to repair itself by improving blood flow and it makes the body produce way more Nerve growth factor (NGF). Now they are back to normal and are functioning decade younger.
I am 75 yrs old and oct 2021 I found out I had stage 3 CKD, went on a Keto diet as shown by Dr Berg on youtube and now my CKD is back to stage 2 (76), off metformin and lost 40 lbs some of which I have gained back. Dr Berg absolutely saved my life, btw I take 20,000 IU(500 icu) of Vit D and 200 mcg of K2. It absolutely worked for me, also Dr Berg has videos on Dementia, every Friday he takes phone calls from people from all over the world, and will give advice on questions. A real doctor that talks so you can follow what he is saying.
@@J.o.e_K Yes, seed oils are bad, nut oils are better like coconut oil and almond oil, Also olive oil are good. And if you have problem cutting out carbs like many do. Adding chromium + vanadium + berberine supplementation keeps the blood sugar much better regulated. Blood sugar spikes a very bad for an aging body.
My mother died from Alzheimer's, she never ever ever went outside to get sun nor took sups. By comparison, her brother is still running the family farm at almost 90 years old. Healthy, tanned, and strong
I find this so depressing I worked as a mental health nurse in Dementia care for over 20 years, latterly I used to bang on about Vitamin D supplementation to our Consultant Psychiatrist for all our elderly care home patients , they never saw the light of day ! The psychiatrist thought I was quite 'out there' I became totally disillusioned with the lack of interest in this area of mental health, the overuse of sedatives and pointless medications. There was a small cohort of patients that got Melatonin and I still believe this is another hugely overlooked hormone that has multiple benefits. I retired early from nursing as I wasn't doing any, I was sat behind a desk typing pointless care plans and sitting on a phone trying to get emergency care packages that were never enough. The system is totally broken.
That's tragic, and must have been very frustrating for you, who had a true vocation to those you cared for. It's sad and alarming that we'll shovel pharmaceuticals down the afflicted, but refuse to look right under our noses for an affordable form of help, i.e. mother nature.
My husband started taking D3 daily last year. In Dec. '22, out of the blue, he started saying that he is thinking more clearly and his recall abilities have improved. (He's 62 and has had a horrible memory for years) He and I are RNs and had no idea that this was a "thing". Thank you for finding and reporting on this study.
Were you both tiktok dancin in empty hospitals at the beginnin, pretendin to the public hospitals were full, denyin patientsz hcq&ivm & visitors, then coercin experimental jabsz without givin informed consentsz!?
I started taking D3 during the pandemic. Between 4-9000 iu. I have been noticing my brain is functioning far far better. I thought it was down to detoxification of some things but perhaps it’s the D3 dosing.
I can't think of a channel on TH-cam that provides as much value to its viewers.Thanks Dr Campbell, you have impacted the lives of thousands of people in positive ways.
Dr Berg is not a vegetarian and I do think pasture raised organic meat is healthy for person consuming. I am aware some vegetarians eat this way for animal welfare reasoning.
I am a caregiver, I have a patient I have been taking care of for a year and a 1/2 with dementia. I have been giving this patient Hide doses of vitamin D for a year now, and have noticed vast improvements with their Speech and memory. They don't lose their train of thought nearly as often and don't seem to be "lost" as much
@@johngeraghty2757 I have been giving her 30,000 iu vitamin d per day. We ran out for a couple of weeks, and the difference was so vast! She became non compliant, argumentative, and had difficulties completing sentences. Once we got her back on the vitamin d, things became much more manageable again
Hi Dr. Campbell, nurse practitioner here. I have frequently educated many of my patients about the myriad of health benefits associated with maintaining optimal vitamin D levels, and this longitudinal study from Canada is quite eye-opening. Thank you for all the wonderful work you provide, and I pray for your continued health and willingness to advocate for interventions that truly benefit people worldwide 👏
We all know nurses were tiktok dancin in empty hospitals at the beginnin, liein to the public they were full, denyin patientsz hcq&ivm & visitors, so no good waitin til now to come commentin on here, expectin praisesz.
Dr Campbell is a nurse practitioner too not a MD Dr. Optimal D levels are far too low. Only just high enough to prevent rickets imagine the health benefits if Optimal levels were maintained!!
Lol I'd love to see more critical thinkers unfortunately a new study has shown that ppls iqs are dropping. They say bc of screen time. The funny thing is (jk not actually funny) I had been saying to everyone is it me or do ppl seem to be getting more and more dumber. B4 u would come across maybe 1 or 2 who werent running on a full tank and now it's like 10 a day u run into. 🙏 this doesnt continue going in that direction. 1 think I know for a fact that happened is my son born in 1991 was screwed out of learning phonics we he went to school bc they decided to let the kids spell how it sounded instead of follow rules etc and for math let them all use calculators my older son born in 1988 had the phonics and no calculators and wow what a difference. The younger one ended up w all kinds of learning issues and to this day at 31 still cant spell still cant do math problems and takes forever to read. He had 6 mos to go to graduate and stopped going to school and noone told me he wasnt showing up till too late and still cant even pass the ged tests. Heartbreaking bc he was failed by the public education he had where his brother and myself and even his daughter are all at a higher level. I tried everything with him too sad
Great study, such a cheap and simple option. Certainly been taking D3 and K2 ever since discovering your channel at the beginning of the pandemic. Although purely anecdotal, had fewer colds, and even after finally getting Covid in December 22, it was 3 days of aching joints and stuffy nose. I worry that our governments are really not concerned with keeping us healthy unless their is money involved, keeping us around for longer is not top of their list.
I really don't think it's the money issue. I think most of them have our interests at heart but are wedded to the traditional Western medical system of treatment, and they don't want to "go out on a limb" with unproven treatments, but I think as time goes on, and with more studies such as this, their attitudes and focus will change. In the meantime, we must take our health into our own hands.
@@pamtebelman2321 The money+power issue is in the system, which educates the doctors who have good intentions. Thankfully we have more doctors now who know the research about Nutrition/natural holistic health, etc. One of my favs is Dr. Joel Fuhrman, check him out!
@@2cupojoe136 I was taking Vit D to combat general colds/viruses, this shows it also helps combat Diabetes and Alzheimer's. It will also lead, hopefully, to more studies for other conditions.
Please ask Dr. Campbell for evidence of V microbes because no one has an isolated sample. The evidence is that WHO countries test equipment was procured as early as 2018 (WITS data). Without this, everything is a lie and a harmful deception with the data. He ignores me and did not reply to my email.
It's a bit of a concern that they are insecticide treated mosquito nets being dished out - with no conclusive evidence that they are not harmful to people. I guess it's like the vaccine he promoted to willing human guineapigs - we won't know for sure until it's too late. If he is funding (he is personally worth $mills), why does he need to ask people for "cup of coffee" amounts?
Thank you Dr. John! ❤ You are saving lives and educating people all over the world. You are a true hero! Much love from Southern California. I found you in January 2020 & have referred many people to you. Have you ever thought of doing a nursing studies series from start to finish and/or a CERT class series? You could have people follow and study with your textbook. Colleges are so expensive, and we desperately need more nurses here in the US. Even people who have read your textbook and nursing classes online on video would be a massive help, as they'd have the knowledge. I hope you will consider doing this. You have a very pleasant voice, you know your stuff in nursing care. Thank you for everything you do for humanity. God bless you!❤
Dr. John Campbell is doing good work. VD3 is amazing. President Biden's memory glitches haven't gotten worse lately... He must have been taking it over the last few years.
I think there are already many available resources online on this topic. This doctor looking at recent studies is much more helpful to the general community than educating nursing students.
My mother was paranoid about getting skin cancer, so she would not go outside without being fully covered. Later in life, she covered her windows to keep out sunlight. She died with severe dementia.
Thank you so much Dr. Campbell. All your love, time and efforts are always appreciated! That's what the health profession should be all about, making a positive impact on people's lives. 🙏❤️
Thank you, Dr. Campbell, for talking about those of us who are elderly. I have been taking D3 and VitK2. I am 78, so included in this study. A former internist had me on D2 and my level of Vitamin D did not budge. Turned out I could not genetically convert D2 to D3. I believe that because I have celiac disease that contributed to the problem. Any way, changed doctors changed to D3 and now I am no longer Vitamin D deficient. Too bad, lost time with the former doctor. I get my level checked every three months. My current doctor is amenable to this. Excellent levels now and my bone density is so much better.
78 next week and been taking D3 plus K2 for a while. Decided myself as I research everything under the sun. Good to hear what Dr.Cambell is reiterating. He is a star.
@@lesleysmith8300 it is available without prescription at drug stores and health food/supplement stores. Capsules, gummies and oil emulsion sprays are your options, oil assists in absorption.
I too am unable to convert D2 into D3. I learned this via 23andMe and ran my genetic results through a free online program called Genetic Genie. My “real” Vitamin D level was always under 20. Now I use a sublingual Vit D3 and keep it around 70. I also have the APOE Alz variant and my mom died of a stroke with dementia. I’m 63 and feeling the memory problems (very minor) and mom started showing signs around 64. Genetics knowledge is key. The variant is called VDRtaq and people with it *won’t make much Vit D on their skin.* An immunologist at Mayo Clinic explained this to me.
Thank you John for sharing this data. Taking vitamin D regularly would save so many individuals and families the devastation, heart break and financial loss that dementia causes. Anyone who has seen it up close knows what a life shattering effect it causes to the person who has it and their family members. Sugar and too many grains, flours also contribute to this by causing insulin resistance - the silent cause of so many health issues.
John, you continue to do your profession proud. I’ve been a huge believer in vitamin D since I found several studies demonstrating the connection between vitamin D deficiency and MS back in the early 2000’s. Like you, I have been recommending it to all my patients (not just those with MS) since the start of Covid-19, and, thank goodness, I have not had anyone die from it. Keep up the great work.
On average a doctor would need 500 recovered COVID patients for every patient that dies from it... Unless the doctor is the actual cause of death, as in NYC☝️
No, he doesn't do his profession proud and he does not know how to read a scientific paper! This was not a trial! The subjects were not given vit d. There was no placebo. This paper is meaningless!
My cousin,who had deep vein thrombosis, was told by his doctor to take Vitamin D. The doctor found that most of his patients with DVT were vitamin D deficient.
I was told decades ago to boost my potassium due to leg cramps. Recently, I'm hearing how important Magnesium is & we get very little of it. I've been taking Vitamin D 3 for a month. I seem to be more clear headed.
@@sandrajohnson9926 Interesting. I got a calf cramp 2 days ago for the first time in my life and it was and is extremely painful and still standing and walking is painful. I will try the magnesium, had vit D deficiency 1/2 year ago (6.7 and later risen to 37). I use multivitamins + D3, but Magnesium is only 1/3 of the daily dose for some obscure reason in those tablets.
In appreciation of Dr John's invaluable service throughout the past three years, I signed up to be a monthly donor to the health programs in Uganda that he sponsors. I get a warm inner glow every time I see the payment in my bank statement, not to mention seeing these mosquito nets!! NGOs generally like regular/monthly donation commitments as it allows them to plan their activities better than one-offs. I decided that that was something useful I could do in the face of all the health mayhem. If you find yourself feeling frustrated and helpless, you might like to try it 😊 Even small amounts of Western country money go a long way in Uganda!
I am a 60 years old, two years ago I started a daily vit D capsule, during the winter and spring months. This reduced my yearly common colds to almost nothing, and now this! Thank you Dr Campbell for spreading this information. Vit D is also recommended for MS patients, my wife has a light non-progressive form of MS, and the hospital subscribed vitamine D. It clearly improves the health of the nervous system and our immune system.
The colicalciferol (D3) is used in possum poison by overdosing them with a massive dose of vitamin D3. I think possums don't use much D3 in their bodies, being nocturnal, so only a small amount of the vitamin is lethal to them. Almost like killing them with kindness. But it's probably a good source of cheap D3 as long as there isn't anything else in there
My wife also has MS and is has been 16 years since her diagnosis. Per her neurologist's recommendation she has been taking 5000 iu of D3 morning and evening for the entire time.
You know that this study ended with the conclusion that this theory needs to be further studied to see if it is true. And he just took it as concrete evidence. This man is a total hack. He doesn’t even understand what some studies actually said. This is not the first time I busted him. He is here for the ad revenue money because people like you think he is doing us a favor.
my parents are 87 and 92 living in their own home, driving, playing cards, shopping etc. its been probably 50 years ago we all started taking vitaminD3 when i (69) read somewhere it helps with depression. so happy to hear you talk about this Canadian study. it is sad that some people were not given D3 for 10 years to prove this point but God bless them.
The K2 was found recently, the past two years, to put the D3 into the bones not the arteries or soft tissue. Drs weren’t aware of this until studies came out a few years ago how important K2 was. Taking magnesium always helps the cells to open so taking magnesium 150 mg with it is a must to get the D3 into the body. Drs are still confused about new studies and rarely check them out. I’ve learned to start being my own health advocate after years of muscle and bone problems. I learned the hard way. Ask questions and why it’s happening instead of getting a pill to treat the symptom.
@@folksurvival it was not widely taken seriously until Covid to add with the D3. Most drs don’t study the trials and reports. Many drs still give D2 instead of D3.
@@hc5327 Not really, but I suppose it depends on what you consider to be "widely taken seriously". In regards to the part about doctor's recommendations; the vast majority of doctors know nothing about nutrition so they're not taken seriously as a source of information regarding nutrition by anyone except the total normie "sheeple" herd types of people who see doctors as white coat deities that are an authority on everything and can be followed without question.
You have become a mentor of mine. Your devotion to helping people understand the need to learn the information needed to help themselves and their families and friends is nothing short of pure love for mankind . Very impressive knowledge you possess. You remind my family of our father who was a 6th generation doctor who also had this character in life. We love you and hope your here to help people for a long time to come.
Alzheimer’s and dementia are both prevalent in both sides of my family starting around age 70. I I’ve been worried about this for many years. I have a vitamin D regiment that I take every day, but this is reassuring that I am doing the right thing for myself and my family going forward. I will share this video and study with everyone I know affected by this. Thank you for this!
Eight years ago my joints started stiffening (menopause), I was 52. I did a search and found that Vit D could possibly help. I did more searching and could only find one study that had been done in a nursing home on a small number of patients. It found that it helped them cognitively, especially women. I started taking it and got both my parents to start, they were 84/85 at the time, and had stopped going in the sun for various reasons, basel cell being one. Best thing we all ever did, in hindsight. My mother is almost 93, in great shape mentally and good shape physically. My father passed Sept 2021 at 91 but fought off double pneumonia and covid in 2020. Maybe Vid D helped him do that. Who knows.
@@kinzer1756you should get a blood test to determine how deficient you are. Then you can decide. They say up to 10 drops a day but I only do 5 a day and have great levels of VitD. I’ve been taking it every morning for 7 years though and I think I used to take 7 drops a day when I started. Hope this helps!
@@kinzer1756 I'm obviously not a Dr. But I take it all year, I cut down in summer a bit. If you get good sunny summers where you are, and get out in it you may not need so much or any in the summer. But definitely during the winter months I'd take it.
I am taking the same level of both vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 as you do! I trust your advice because you are acting on scientific data as reported in the literature. Thanks for all you do.
It has been a privilege to watch your awakening to the awful events of the last few years. Sadly the pharmaceutical companies are in charge so many people just don't know how to take care of themselves. I most sincerely hope this will change and thank you for your amazing work. As for getting any help from our British G p s that will never happen
I am rarely ill but lately had the 'flu, as in proper 'flu, [temperatures, aching limbs, the whole thing] that was systematically flooring my local community. I had one day where I found mucking out the stables and putting the ponies out extremely difficult, a couple on either side of that where the work was uncomfortable. Within a week of getting the 'flu I was decorating, carpeting and moving furniture into my daughter's new home - not easy but manageable. A degree of that was sheer bl**dymindedness because I am one of ''those people'', but I put my ability to cope with illness down to keeping my Vit D levels, through supplements or being outside as much as possible, as high as I can. Everyone else seemed to be a minimum of two to three weeks in bed and, for the record, I did notice that those who were persuaded into recent medical interventions seemed to suffer worse symptoms and took far longer to recover than those who avoided that needle. Purely an anecdotal observation, but an interesting one, and perhaps those people would especially benefit from being advised to up their own levels of Vit D [which I do suggest at every opportunity]. I cannot thank you enough for informing people about Vitamin D and its benefits - this should be the subject of those TV adverts I'm told are wasted on all kinds of unhelpful topics. I've no TV so haven't seen any but I gather they exist. Thank goodness your channel reaches so many people. [I'm 63]
Looking at the study, it was not specified how much vitamin D anyone was given. That would have been interesting to know. I have been taking vitamin D3 supplements for years now and had my baseline tested several years ago. I had to pay for that test but was happy to do so. Which reminds me, I should go for a follow up soon. Thank you Dr John for caring for your fellow earthlings as much as you do!
That was my question as well. Apparently even the smallest doses and most irregular dosing would qualify as "exposure to D supplements." Maybe a follow-up study would help make it clearer what dosage level is ideal.
Seriously? I know it's difficult to track this sort of thing over a long period but I don't understand how someone starts a trial like this without giving an indication of what was originally given.
In-life studies are like that. They were not prescribed. They just happened to be people who had various exposures. The "results" are also not all that firm because of the variability. If this were done clinically in controlled dosing we would probably see even more dramatic outcomes headed toward daily/weekly dosing recommendations. Or,... we could become less sunlight phobic.
@@JJFX- it wasn't a trial! They didn't give patients anything! They just looked at patient questionnaires and looked at people who were already taking vit d and those that weren't self administering vit d. No trial no placebo no blinds no science!
Grattitude from Belgium, you're an exemple for many. My gp did not advice me about anything at all, of all i've learned of vitamines since the years, thanks to you i'm still here, i'm very very ill and they really help, a 🥇for you.
Thank you so much Dr Campbell - I am definitely going to buy you some cups of coffee - so that people in Uganda can have a longer life. I am so impressed at how someone in later life can have such an impact on so many people. I am a nurse and you are an inspiration. I am coming to think that we are all your nursing students now.
I'm not convinced about the insecticide treated mosquito nets, seems like the studies on them regarding adverse effects on humans are not conclusive (a bit like the vaccine he recommended). I wonder why John doesn't fund them personally (?), he is worth $millions after all.
IMO this explains why we have been having a pandemic of dementia and Alzheimer. Ppl are not aware of being vitamin d deficient and have not got a clue that vitamin d is so beneficial in so many ways including immune system, bone density and now dementia and Alzheimer’s and god knows how much more. We are increasingly indoor. In my parent’a day they did not spend their lives indoor like we do now.Bless you John 🙏🏻beautiful images from Uganda 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is so amazing Dr. John. I've worked with many people with a dementia e.g. Alzheimers disease, and seen the impact it has on those with it and their families/carer's. Let's hope this gets to be widespread news and hopefully contributing to prevention, thankyou!!
Dear John, thank you for sharing this important paper on your channel. I am a german dermatologist and unfortunately my profession is only concerned with issues of sun protection and melanoma prevention, but does not realize the benefits of sufficient vitamin D in general.
Herr Traupe, do you think using sunscreen encourages people to spend more time exposed to the sun (rather than being sensible, moving in and out of shade, covering up if outside for long periods of time, etc)? From what I understand, skin cancer rates have grown steadily since suntan oils first came on the market in the 1950's. I started looking at these things after a German friend freaked out at me for being ever so slightly sunburnt! I also saw a study recently that showed wearing sunglasses prevents some kind of natural skin protection from "switching on" in the body, and a Swedish study that showed that women that avoid the sun have a higher risk of cancer, approximately the same as smoking a packet of cigarettes every day! I feel more and more that we are being misled by the companies that make sun protective products...
@@DavetheChimp Are we sure there were no cofounding factors - chemical exposures - that were not taken into consideration when the link to skin cancers were first proposed? I seem to recall farmers had a high incidence which I am inclined to discount given that at that time, the more the merrier in terms of pesticides was in vogue.
@@markusgorelli5278 I have no idea. Apparently only two large studies on suntan lotions have ever been carried out, so I don't know how much proof there is that they are effective, let alone whether they create a worse outcome. My position is, homo sapiens have somehow survived for at least 300,000 years without suntan lotion, so I'm going to assume I don't need it. I do my best not to get burnt because it hurts, but I also do my best to get the sun on my skin because then it goes brown and doesn't get burnt. Which I assume is the bodies evolved response to sun exposure - get darker so as to not burn - based on the fact that peoples skin is darker in places where there is more sun. And frankly, the older I get (currently 49) the less I trust the products of pharmacutical companies. I used to get a lot of colds and be forever taking cold remedies. I used to get a lot of allergies and have to take pills for that, too. I started cleaning up my diet, getting more exercise, sleeping better/more, practising gratitude, supplementing my vitamins and minerals, stopped using soaps or deodorant full of fragrance etc, and these days I'm rarely sick and the allergies have almost entirely gone. The hay fever that used to knock me on my ass for months every summer gives me a couple of weeks of annoyance in spring and that's it. I occasionally have to take a pain killer if I do something stupid like drink alcohol and smoke tobacco and go to bed late, but that's it. I think avoiding putting chemicals in or on your body is a pretty good idea, so I will continue to not use sun cream 🙂
@@DavetheChimp My mother.. now 78..had skin cancer 5 years ago on her back where sun never ever hits. It spread to her lymph nodes which were removed. She also had a basal cell carcinoma as did her sister on the side of her nose. Both of these women have for decades been using skin cream with SPF. I have come to the conclusion these 'skin protectors ' amplify getting cancers. I refuse to use any. My children never wear sunscreen and my husband will never use any. All of these things are just toxins for our bodies. GOD made the sun to provide life..not disease disease death. Man however, due to greed and to also wanting to off us, made these products to harm us in the end. Just like these vaccines.
Thanks so much for this information, I lost my lovely Mum to Alzheimer's last year which was pretty devastating. I have also lost an Aunt to Alzheimer's and grandfather to Parkinson's. I have followed you during COVID-19 and started taking Vitamin D on the information you had then and have continued to do so. Hopefully this will be a great help to people in avoiding dementia. Many thanks for all you do. Much love from Spain ❤️🙏
This study may seem like good evidence of a causal effect, but it's not. You can not control for all the factors that make people who take vitamins different from people who don't. You are using the words "protective" and "effect" a lot. This was not a RCT.
@@barmaas5311 RCTs typically cost a lot of money and Vitamin D is cheap, readily available and unpatented. Who's going to fund a trial when there's no payback at the end of it?
I was born in Holland but living in Thailand now. We get 12 hours of sunlight per day. Compared to Holland, I noticed the amount of people having, or dying from dementia is a lot less over here.
In Australia we have been scammed into being terrified of the Sun even in Winter or early / late afternoon. My Mother had Alzheimer’s and Osteoporosis both Vit D3 related now! Thanks for sharing this vital study!
@@JW-qg3nh in Winter I saw primary school kids playing on the oval with wide brimmed hats and neck protection too - go figure! Yes be careful from mid morning to late afternoon. Most people do not get out when it’s safe - way over done!
@@JW-qg3nh we need to be cautious about overexposure to the sun but in doing so we must compensate by taking vitamin D3 in much higher doses than the current recommended level
Just goes to show how many reasons appropriate vitamin D3 levels are for it health. Thank you! I'ts wonderful to see all the mosquito nets being handed out. I'll bet they are very appreciative and will enjoy many hours of not being bitten, or becoming ill.💜
We have lived in France for the last three years. My doctor there checked my vitamin D levels as part of a normal blood test and although they were at a good figure he still prescribed a one off does of 100,000 units every three months in the winter. This is standard practice for over 65s ! Ever since we watched Dr John’s early videos on this we have been taking 4000 iu/day with K2.
I've been showing depression last couple months however it was just defisency of vitamin d. As a melanin person it's so important to take it in daily base every day.
Been taking Vitamin D for years, but I always had to ask for it to be included in blood tests. I visited my new cardiologist in Houston last week, and the test was automatically included Vitamin D levels. Glad to see included.
I have the same opinion as you, the fact that fair skin exerted such a huge evolutionary pressure in the Northern Hemisphere is proof that the benefits must be significant. You're very on to something, John. Please distribute the positive effects of Vitamin D further. People have to know.
You can't have good vit D levels unless you are metabolically healthy. Otherwise, your vit D will stay locked up within the fat cells due to high insulin. The quickest way to change this and increase vit D levels is to do some extended fasting! 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. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered. Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. Fasting increases nitric oxide. 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. 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. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors! Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. The hunger hormone ghrelin 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. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. 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 medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity! 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, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. 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. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. 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. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate 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 under 18 g of carb. 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.

My father developed dementia at 85 after taking high dose prednisone for PMR. On his last visit with the rheumatologist I asked if taking vitamin D3 would help, the doct agreed it would be fine. I researched side effects of prednisone and it clearly depletes Vit D3. I brought my dad home with me to northern California, started him on D3 5000iu, Vit C 1000 mg, daily eggs cooked in butter and coconut oil (which he didn't know) to increase the much needed healthy fats in his diet. He improved immediately! Several months later he went into memory care and I asked the staff to take him outside on the patio in the sun at least 15 minutes late morning. I later found out most of the residents were also taking at least 5000 iu vitamin D. I'm convinced had he started taking it several years earlier he would have had better quality of life and later onset of dementia.
Thank you Dr John. My mother was diagnosed with Diabetes when she was eighty then succumbed to Alzheimer’s for the last 4 years of her life. I am 76 diagnosed with pre diabetes seven years ago. My husband and I both take Vitamin D. I am so thankful for this information. Gives me confidence to keep taking it and hopefully delay the onset of the disease.
Thank you for this report. I work with the elderly and have been recommending D just for infectious disease response and diabetes control. Now yet another benefit joins the list.
Very, very interesting. A number of years ago I saw news of a study cited in RunnersWorld about runners and improved oxygen uptake with D3. I started 3000iu a day. After a bout of covid in Feb/Mar of ‘20, and seeing a study of improved covid outcomes of long term D3 intake cited by Dr. Mike Hanson on his TH-cam channel, I increased to 4000iu. I also noted that a few small, itchy spots of eczema disappeared. This runs in my family. In January of ‘21 I lost my father due to complications of Alzheimer’s. This study you’ve just informed us about has given me new hope. Seems to make sense now...we once spent much more time out in the sun.
Keep up your great work Dr. Campbell! Much appreciated. As an aside, my brother and I had been plagued by gout for years. We found that 10K IU daily vitamin D3 completely stopped the very painful attacks since we started the higher levels (was 5,000 IUs). And as you say don't forget the Vitamin K2.
One if my neighbors who ate very healthily but got leg cramps at night in his 60s took a glass of organic cider vinegar and honey in a glass of warm water first thing in the morning and his leg cramps stopped. I told another elderly neighbor to try that for his gout and it reduced his gout enormously. He admitted to when forgetting to take it for days the gout got worse again.
@@crazyratlady3438 Yes, I vary it myself depending on mood! Cider vinegar when you research it has wonderful properties. Seems it very good for keeping arteries clean. I was recommended it after a car crash years ago to prevent arthritis later. I did at the time tend to suffer from what felt like an acid tummy and bowel - a burning feeling. A side effect of starting that morning glass of cider vinegar was that it entirely went away! I recommend that to anyone with tummy acidic feeling.. plus nb get a simple blood test for h pylori. H-pilori is I believe a cause of much Tummy trouble and something many people do not know about. It's cured with a few but strong tablets taken for a few weeks. Not pleasant but the results are great in terms of energy restored and digestive system relief. Worth googling about it for everyone. Everyone should know about it to know to get tested if they have stomach discomfort. Constantly being in pain and tired after food is not fun. If it is caused by H pilori it's so easy to rid yourself of it.
Thank you so much for this doc just wish the drs in the uk were on a level where we could ask for tests but as you know things are not what they used to be thanks so much for all your help have been taking the vits since seeing your podcast throughout the covid and am still doing it !
Yay! I’ve been taking vitamin D with K since Dr John told us about it during covid and it’s effects for illness prevention so great to know it’s got this going for it as well.
Thank you for this valuable information! You always present the data in a simple yet non-condesending manner that is easier to understand. God bless you!
Thank you so much! I will resume taking D3. I stopped a few weeks ago because my doctor told me to. I was doubling up because of covid and fortunately I have remained safe. I will resume without doubling. Thank you again as I have had family members who have suffered from this. God bless.
Fabulous information thanks a million Dr JC 👍🏼… love how JC explains everything so clearly 👌🏼… great resources too for people as a preventative measure , too late for my mother , but hopefully will help me and many other future generations 🙋🏻♀️
Interesting that l hear from a British medical worker about the positive results of taking D 3 from a study done here in Alberta. Thank you so much for helping me look after myself. Note that our doctors directed by our governmental medical bureaucrats here in canada also will not test for levels of vitamin d
Dr Campbell I am so grateful for researching on our behalf You are amazing. I thank God for you. Your videos have held me steady through these crazy times❤
Wow! Thanks for sharing this one. I'd not heard about the dementia and diabetes connection, let alone the significance of vit D. I will be keeping more of this vitamin on hand, especially during the winter months.
I've been taking this daily for about a month now, and I'm so glad I did. Before I would just casually take one maybe once a week. I had no idea it would help with back spasms/pain which I was suffering from daily for almost a year when I noticed they stopped about 2 weeks after taking a pill daily. I thought it odd that I wasn't having spasms anymore and this was the only thing different I incorporated so I confirmed it online. I didn't know it helped with dementia, added bonus!!
This was excellent and so helpful! I’d like to know the doses they tested. And I think it is very important to specify whether a doctor won’t test for vita’s levels or if your insurance/social medicine won’t pay for it because you can always have it done on your own and just pay for it.
I took 2000iu for a period of 6 months,and then 4000iu for 3 months and couldn’t get my numbers out of the 30’s. I am now taking 9500iu daily to finally get my numbers to 72. I started out at 9. Definitely can tell a difference in how I feel physically getting my numbers in the 70’s
It's impossible to have high vit d levels while insulin is high from a high carb diet. The vitamins stay locked up in the fat cells and can't come out at all! 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. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered. Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. Fasting increases nitric oxide. 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. 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. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors! Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. The hunger hormone ghrelin 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. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. 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 medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity! 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, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. 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.

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.

I started taking 4000iu D3 a day for Crohns Disease last Feb. Within a month all stomach cramping, sickness and other symptoms disappeared. Touch wood, not had a blip since and haven't felt as well in over twenty years. If it wasn't for this channel indicating the possible benefits of D3 for a range of illness, I'd still be suffering.
I have been taking vit D since Dr. Campbell said it protected against COVID. I'm still taking it as is my dear wife. Thank you Dr. C for all you do for us.
I took it BEFORE that when any sane person knew about this...dam late to tha party time to do your own research and get active...again this was all common knowledge that "suddenly" was forgotten trampled and buried just 3 years ago
You can't know how much this video has meant to me. My mother and her sister both died with Alzheimer's. As did their material aunts. Their mother died of uterine cancer before she was old enough to develope it. I have stage 3 kidney disease and was placed on D3 eight years ago because of that. I am 71 and have worried for a long time that I would definitely develope Alzheimer's. You have given me hope. Thank you for all you do.
L-Lysine (an amino acid) might rebuild kidneys.
Add Nattokinase, Lion's Mane (dual extract), K2 (you already use D3), MCT oil, a good active B complex (my favorite is the AOR version) and CDP-choline.
I gave this to my aging parents when they started to get a bit senile.
I got them to start working out at the gym several times a week and do regular long walks and it helps a lot to keep the health and function you got also. All this improves the brain's ability to keep healthy and to repair itself by improving blood flow and it makes the body produce way more Nerve growth factor (NGF).
Now they are back to normal and are functioning decade younger.
I am 75 yrs old and oct 2021 I found out I had stage 3 CKD, went on a Keto diet as shown by Dr Berg on youtube and now my CKD is back to stage 2 (76), off metformin and
lost 40 lbs some of which I have gained back. Dr Berg absolutely saved my life, btw I take 20,000 IU(500 icu) of Vit D and 200 mcg of K2. It absolutely worked for me, also Dr Berg has videos on Dementia, every Friday he takes phone calls from people from all over the world, and will give advice on questions. A real doctor that talks so you can follow what he is saying.
@@J.o.e_K All I consume is vegetable oil. How to form a healthier diet with richer but still cheap food? Do you have an idea?
@@J.o.e_K Yes, seed oils are bad, nut oils are better like coconut oil and almond oil, Also olive oil are good. And if you have problem cutting out carbs like many do. Adding chromium + vanadium + berberine supplementation keeps the blood sugar much better regulated. Blood sugar spikes a very bad for an aging body.
My mother died from Alzheimer's, she never ever ever went outside to get sun nor took sups. By comparison, her brother is still running the family farm at almost 90 years old. Healthy, tanned, and strong
Awesome! : )
So interesting!

Old news. Knew this for decades
There sure is a lesson to be learned there.
I find this so depressing I worked as a mental health nurse in Dementia care for over 20 years, latterly I used to bang on about Vitamin D supplementation to our Consultant Psychiatrist for all our elderly care home patients , they never saw the light of day ! The psychiatrist thought I was quite 'out there' I became totally disillusioned with the lack of interest in this area of mental health, the overuse of sedatives and pointless medications. There was a small cohort of patients that got Melatonin and I still believe this is another hugely overlooked hormone that has multiple benefits. I retired early from nursing as I wasn't doing any, I was sat behind a desk typing pointless care plans and sitting on a phone trying to get emergency care packages that were never enough. The system is totally broken.
That's tragic, and must have been very frustrating for you, who had a true vocation to those you cared for. It's sad and alarming that we'll shovel pharmaceuticals down the afflicted, but refuse to look right under our noses for an affordable form of help, i.e. mother nature.
I work in mental health for the elderly and they still don’t 😢
It's only broke for the patients. Shrinks are in it for £££'s.
You tried.
I have a dementia play-list.
Let me know what you think.
My husband started taking D3 daily last year. In Dec. '22, out of the blue, he started saying that he is thinking more clearly and his recall abilities have improved. (He's 62 and has had a horrible memory for years) He and I are RNs and had no idea that this was a "thing". Thank you for finding and reporting on this study.

@@sammywhite9906 what's Chanel got to do with it😂😂😂😂
I started taking D3 during the pandemic. Between 4-9000 iu.
I have been noticing my brain is functioning far far better. I thought it was down to detoxification of some things but perhaps it’s the D3 dosing.
I can't think of a channel on TH-cam that provides as much value to its viewers.Thanks Dr Campbell, you have impacted the lives of thousands of people in positive ways.

Love Dr John, but also have found Dr Eric Berg very useful. Lost 10kg over a year with no sport! Just low carbs, healthy vegetarian.
Andrew Huberman 👍
Dr Berg is not a vegetarian and I do think pasture raised organic meat is healthy for person consuming. I am aware some vegetarians eat this way for animal welfare reasoning.
I am a caregiver, I have a patient I have been taking care of for a year and a 1/2 with dementia. I have been giving this patient Hide doses of vitamin D for a year now, and have noticed vast improvements with their Speech and memory. They don't lose their train of thought nearly as often and don't seem to be "lost" as much
What is the HIGH DOSE you are giving your patient of Vitamin D3 ? DETAILS PLEASE !!!
@@johngeraghty2757 I have been giving her 30,000 iu vitamin d per day. We ran out for a couple of weeks, and the difference was so vast!

Have your patient’s vitAmin Dlevels tested.
Hi Dr. Campbell, nurse practitioner here. I have frequently educated many of my patients about the myriad of health benefits associated with maintaining optimal vitamin D levels, and this longitudinal study from Canada is quite eye-opening. Thank you for all the wonderful work you provide, and I pray for your continued health and willingness to advocate for interventions that truly benefit people worldwide 👏
We all know nurses were tiktok dancin in empty hospitals at the beginnin, liein to the public they were full, denyin patientsz hcq&ivm & visitors, so no good waitin til now to come commentin on here, expectin praisesz.
Were you educatin them about the ingredients etc of the experimental jabsz & were you administerin them without givin informed consentsz;)!?
Dr Campbell is a nurse practitioner too not a MD Dr. Optimal D levels are far too low. Only just high enough to prevent rickets imagine the health benefits if Optimal levels were maintained!!
Pity they don't have a minimal vit to cleanse the vax injuries out of our damaged bodies thankyou dr c
@@jensissons5709 Ive seen you defendin the experimental jabsz, are you another one from tha awful squeeky voiced susan olivers yt chanel;)!?🧐
Thank you Dr. Campbell for all you do . I pray more people start critically thinking for themselves . 👍
Right after I get my 6th booster, I plan on doing some critical thinking. Not until then though.
Hehe....you pray AND you think critically....?😅
Lol I'd love to see more critical thinkers unfortunately a new study has shown that ppls iqs are dropping. They say bc of screen time. The funny thing is (jk not actually funny) I had been saying to everyone is it me or do ppl seem to be getting more and more dumber. B4 u would come across maybe 1 or 2 who werent running on a full tank and now it's like 10 a day u run into. 🙏 this doesnt continue going in that direction. 1 think I know for a fact that happened is my son born in 1991 was screwed out of learning phonics we he went to school bc they decided to let the kids spell how it sounded instead of follow rules etc and for math let them all use calculators my older son born in 1988 had the phonics and no calculators and wow what a difference. The younger one ended up w all kinds of learning issues and to this day at 31 still cant spell still cant do math problems and takes forever to read. He had 6 mos to go to graduate and stopped going to school and noone told me he wasnt showing up till too late and still cant even pass the ged tests. Heartbreaking bc he was failed by the public education he had where his brother and myself and even his daughter are all at a higher level. I tried everything with him too sad

Keep going with this good work
Great study, such a cheap and simple option. Certainly been taking D3 and K2 ever since discovering your channel at the beginning of the pandemic. Although purely anecdotal, had fewer colds, and even after finally getting Covid in December 22, it was 3 days of aching joints and stuffy nose. I worry that our governments are really not concerned with keeping us healthy unless their is money involved, keeping us around for longer is not top of their list.
Why is it a great study?
I really don't think it's the money issue. I think most of them have our interests at heart but are wedded to the traditional Western medical system of treatment, and they don't want to "go out on a limb" with unproven treatments, but I think as time goes on, and with more studies such as this, their attitudes and focus will change. In the meantime, we must take our health into our own hands.
@@pamtebelman2321 The money+power issue is in the system, which educates the doctors who have good intentions. Thankfully we have more doctors now who know the research about Nutrition/natural holistic health, etc. One of my favs is Dr. Joel Fuhrman, check him out!
Could you please tell me how much vit K you are taking 😊
@@2cupojoe136 I was taking Vit D to combat general colds/viruses, this shows it also helps combat Diabetes and Alzheimer's. It will also lead, hopefully, to more studies for other conditions.
Thank you again Dr. Campbell for all you do for us. What a brilliant study that is taken over 10 years. Well done the Canadians.
Not brilliant for those that didn't get vitamin D
Please ask Dr. Campbell for evidence of V microbes because no one has an isolated sample. The evidence is that WHO countries test equipment was procured as early as 2018 (WITS data). Without this, everything is a lie and a harmful deception with the data. He ignores me and did not reply to my email.

It’s wonderful how you are funding these practical health care interventions in Uganda. As others have said before, you truly are a hero.
It's a bit of a concern that they are insecticide treated mosquito nets being dished out - with no conclusive evidence that they are not harmful to people. I guess it's like the vaccine he promoted to willing human guineapigs - we won't know for sure until it's too late. If he is funding (he is personally worth $mills), why does he need to ask people for "cup of coffee" amounts?
Thank you Dr. John! ❤
You are saving lives and educating people all over the world. You are a true hero!
Much love from Southern California.
I found you in January 2020 & have referred many people to you.
Have you ever thought of doing a nursing studies series from start to finish and/or a CERT class series? You could have people follow and study with your textbook.
Colleges are so expensive, and we desperately need more nurses here in the US. Even people who have read your textbook and nursing classes online on video would be a massive help, as they'd have the knowledge.
I hope you will consider doing this.
You have a very pleasant voice, you know your stuff in nursing care.
Thank you for everything you do for humanity. God bless you!❤
It all evens out. One day he’s telling us to take the vaccine, the next he’s reading off excess deaths. Now he’s telling us to go the natural route.
Thank You 💓
Dr. John Campbell is doing good work.
VD3 is amazing. President Biden's memory glitches haven't gotten worse lately... He must have been taking it over the last few years.
I think there are already many available resources online on this topic. This doctor looking at recent studies is much more helpful to the general community than educating nursing students.

My mother was paranoid about getting skin cancer, so she would not go outside without being fully covered. Later in life, she covered her windows to keep out sunlight.
She died with severe dementia.

She must’ve known someone who passed from melanoma
Thank you so much Dr. Campbell. All your love, time and efforts are always appreciated! That's what the health profession should be all about, making a positive impact on people's lives. 🙏❤️
Thank you, Dr. Campbell, for talking about those of us who are elderly. I have been taking D3 and VitK2. I am 78, so included in this study. A former internist had me on D2 and my level of Vitamin D did not budge. Turned out I could not genetically convert D2 to D3. I believe that because I have celiac disease that contributed to the problem. Any way, changed doctors changed to D3 and now I am no longer Vitamin D deficient. Too bad, lost time with the former doctor. I get my level checked every three months. My current doctor is amenable to this.
Excellent levels now and my bone density is so much better.
78 next week and been taking D3 plus K2 for a while. Decided myself as I research everything under the sun. Good to hear what Dr.Cambell is reiterating. He is a star.
Can you get D3 over the counter, or does the doctor have to prescribe D3?
@@lesleysmith8300 it is available without prescription at drug stores and health food/supplement stores. Capsules, gummies and oil emulsion sprays are your options, oil assists in absorption.
I too am unable to convert D2 into D3. I learned this via 23andMe and ran my genetic results through a free online program called Genetic Genie. My “real” Vitamin D level was always under 20. Now I use a sublingual Vit D3 and keep it around 70. I also have the APOE Alz variant and my mom died of a stroke with dementia.
I’m 63 and feeling the memory problems (very minor) and mom started showing signs around 64.
Genetics knowledge is key. The variant is called VDRtaq and people with it *won’t make much Vit D on their skin.* An immunologist at Mayo Clinic explained this to me.
@@lesleysmith8300 Over the counter.
Found an old lab result from 2016 the other day, my Vitamin D was 28, last result was 89, thank you Dr. John.
How many international units do you take to reach your 89?
Do you notice any change?
How many IU units do you take please 🙏 this would be so helpful for all of us 💯😊
Thank you John for sharing this data. Taking vitamin D regularly would save so many individuals and families the devastation, heart break and financial loss that dementia causes. Anyone who has seen it up close knows what a life shattering effect it causes to the person who has it and their family members. Sugar and too many grains, flours also contribute to this by causing insulin resistance - the silent cause of so many health issues.

John, you continue to do your profession proud. I’ve been a huge believer in vitamin D since I found several studies demonstrating the connection between vitamin D deficiency and MS back in the early 2000’s. Like you, I have been recommending it to all my patients (not just those with MS) since the start of Covid-19, and, thank goodness, I have not had anyone die from it. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for what you do John. This is such valuable and laudable work. Given away for free, with humility. Thank you.
My cousin,who had deep vein thrombosis, was told by his doctor to take Vitamin D. The doctor found that most of his patients with DVT were vitamin D deficient.
Maybe the clots caused by some vaccines also hurt sooner the ones with vit D deficiency. Who knows.
I was told decades ago to boost my potassium due to leg cramps.
Recently, I'm hearing how important Magnesium is & we get very little of it.
I've been taking Vitamin D 3 for a month. I seem to be more clear headed.
@@sandrajohnson9926 Interesting. I got a calf cramp 2 days ago for the first time in my life and it was and is extremely painful and still standing and walking is painful.
I will try the magnesium, had vit D deficiency 1/2 year ago (6.7 and later risen to 37). I use multivitamins + D3, but Magnesium is only 1/3 of the daily dose for some obscure reason in those tablets.
In appreciation of Dr John's invaluable service throughout the past three years, I signed up to be a monthly donor to the health programs in Uganda that he sponsors. I get a warm inner glow every time I see the payment in my bank statement, not to mention seeing these mosquito nets!!
NGOs generally like regular/monthly donation commitments as it allows them to plan their activities better than one-offs. I decided that that was something useful I could do in the face of all the health mayhem. If you find yourself feeling frustrated and helpless, you might like to try it 😊 Even small amounts of Western country money go a long way in Uganda!
Just gave a donation thanks to your suggestion Jenni (hope that keeps the glow going!)
The world needs more people like you!
You are awesome 🌹
Please share the name and links to donate .thanks
Thank you so much Jenni, I was working out there myself late last year, and the money is being well spent.
I am a 60 years old, two years ago I started a daily vit D capsule, during the winter and spring months. This reduced my yearly common colds to almost nothing, and now this! Thank you Dr Campbell for spreading this information. Vit D is also recommended for MS patients, my wife has a light non-progressive form of MS, and the hospital subscribed vitamine D. It clearly improves the health of the nervous system and our immune system.
Makes sense as Ms is higher in northern climates and almost unknown in the tropics
The colicalciferol (D3) is used in possum poison by overdosing them with a massive dose of vitamin D3. I think possums don't use much D3 in their bodies, being nocturnal, so only a small amount of the vitamin is lethal to them. Almost like killing them with kindness. But it's probably a good source of cheap D3 as long as there isn't anything else in there
My wife also has MS and is has been 16 years since her diagnosis. Per her neurologist's recommendation she has been taking 5000 iu of D3 morning and evening for the entire time.
You know that this study ended with the conclusion that this theory needs to be further studied to see if it is true. And he just took it as concrete evidence. This man is a total hack. He doesn’t even understand what some studies actually said. This is not the first time I busted him. He is here for the ad revenue money because people like you think he is doing us a favor.

Dr. John, you are a good man. You have a good heart and care for your patients/humanity. Keep these videos coming.
Thanks, I'm a life long molecular biologist, but I learned something from your great show! Keep up the good work
fascinating field, that.
my parents are 87 and 92 living in their own home, driving, playing cards, shopping etc. its been probably 50 years ago we all started taking vitaminD3 when i (69) read somewhere it helps with depression. so happy to hear you talk about this Canadian study. it is sad that some people were not given D3 for 10 years to prove this point but God bless them.
The K2 was found recently, the past two years, to put the D3 into the bones not the arteries or soft tissue. Drs weren’t aware of this until studies came out a few years ago how important K2 was. Taking magnesium always helps the cells to open so taking magnesium 150 mg with it is a must to get the D3 into the body. Drs are still confused about new studies and rarely check them out. I’ve learned to start being my own health advocate after years of muscle and bone problems. I learned the hard way. Ask questions and why it’s happening instead of getting a pill to treat the symptom.
@@hc5327 Weston A. Price knew about and wrote about the importance of K2 in the 1930's.
@@folksurvival it was not widely taken seriously until Covid to add with the D3. Most drs don’t study the trials and reports. Many drs still give D2 instead of D3.
@@hc5327 Not really, but I suppose it depends on what you consider to be "widely taken seriously".
In regards to the part about doctor's recommendations; the vast majority of doctors know nothing about nutrition so they're not taken seriously as a source of information regarding nutrition by anyone except the total normie "sheeple" herd types of people who see doctors as white coat deities that are an authority on everything and can be followed without question.
You have become a mentor of mine. Your devotion to helping people understand the need to learn the information needed to help themselves and their families and friends is nothing short of pure love for mankind . Very impressive knowledge you possess. You remind my family of our father who was a 6th generation doctor who also had this character in life.

Thank you Dr John Campbell MBE for standing in the gap for the ordinary folks against big pharmaceutical industry 👍
Alzheimer’s and dementia are both prevalent in both sides of my family starting around age 70. I I’ve been worried about this for many years. I have a vitamin D regiment that I take every day, but this is reassuring that I am doing the right thing for myself and my family going forward. I will share this video and study with everyone I know affected by this. Thank you for this!
Eight years ago my joints started stiffening (menopause), I was 52. I did a search and found that Vit D could possibly help. I did more searching and could only find one study that had been done in a nursing home on a small number of patients. It found that it helped them cognitively, especially women. I started taking it and got both my parents to start, they were 84/85 at the time, and had stopped going in the sun for various reasons, basel cell being one. Best thing we all ever did, in hindsight. My mother is almost 93, in great shape mentally and good shape physically. My father passed Sept 2021 at 91 but fought off double pneumonia and covid in 2020. Maybe Vid D helped him do that. Who knows.
You have convinced me. I'm going to start vitamin D tomorrow
How often should I take vit D? Every day 24/7? All seasons or only during cold seasons? All my life? (I´m almost 40).

I am rarely ill but lately had the 'flu, as in proper 'flu, [temperatures, aching limbs, the whole thing] that was systematically flooring my local community. I had one day where I found mucking out the stables and putting the ponies out extremely difficult, a couple on either side of that where the work was uncomfortable. Within a week of getting the 'flu I was decorating, carpeting and moving furniture into my daughter's new home - not easy but manageable. A degree of that was sheer bl**dymindedness because I am one of ''those people'', but I put my ability to cope with illness down to keeping my Vit D levels, through supplements or being outside as much as possible, as high as I can. Everyone else seemed to be a minimum of two to three weeks in bed and, for the record, I did notice that those who were persuaded into recent medical interventions seemed to suffer worse symptoms and took far longer to recover than those who avoided that needle. Purely an anecdotal observation, but an interesting one, and perhaps those people would especially benefit from being advised to up their own levels of Vit D [which I do suggest at every opportunity]. I cannot thank you enough for informing people about Vitamin D and its benefits - this should be the subject of those TV adverts I'm told are wasted on all kinds of unhelpful topics. I've no TV so haven't seen any but I gather they exist. Thank goodness your channel reaches so many people. [I'm 63]

Looking at the study, it was not specified how much vitamin D anyone was given. That would have been interesting to know. I have been taking vitamin D3 supplements for years now and had my baseline tested several years ago. I had to pay for that test but was happy to do so. Which reminds me, I should go for a follow up soon. Thank you Dr John for caring for your fellow earthlings as much as you do!
That was my question as well. Apparently even the smallest doses and most irregular dosing would qualify as "exposure to D supplements." Maybe a follow-up study would help make it clearer what dosage level is ideal.
Seriously? I know it's difficult to track this sort of thing over a long period but I don't understand how someone starts a trial like this without giving an indication of what was originally given.
In-life studies are like that. They were not prescribed. They just happened to be people who had various exposures.
The "results" are also not all that firm because of the variability. If this were done clinically in controlled dosing we would probably see even more dramatic outcomes headed toward daily/weekly dosing recommendations.
Or,... we could become less sunlight phobic.
@@JJFX- it wasn't a trial! They didn't give patients anything! They just looked at patient questionnaires and looked at people who were already taking vit d and those that weren't self administering vit d. No trial no placebo no blinds no science!

A low carb, zero lineolic acid diet is very helpful.
Got my vitamin D3 and K2 started, thanks to your advice. I got my husband to start adding k2 to his vitamin regimen, which already included D3.
Dear John, thank you for sharing this important paper on your channel. I am a german dermatologist and unfortunately my profession is only concerned with issues of sun protection and melanoma prevention, but does not realize the benefits of sufficient vitamin D in general.
Herr Traupe, do you think using sunscreen encourages people to spend more time exposed to the sun (rather than being sensible, moving in and out of shade, covering up if outside for long periods of time, etc)? From what I understand, skin cancer rates have grown steadily since suntan oils first came on the market in the 1950's. I started looking at these things after a German friend freaked out at me for being ever so slightly sunburnt! I also saw a study recently that showed wearing sunglasses prevents some kind of natural skin protection from "switching on" in the body, and a Swedish study that showed that women that avoid the sun have a higher risk of cancer, approximately the same as smoking a packet of cigarettes every day! I feel more and more that we are being misled by the companies that make sun protective products...
@@DavetheChimp Are we sure there were no cofounding factors - chemical exposures - that were not taken into consideration when the link to skin cancers were first proposed? I seem to recall farmers had a high incidence which I am inclined to discount given that at that time, the more the merrier in terms of pesticides was in vogue.
@@markusgorelli5278 I have no idea. Apparently only two large studies on suntan lotions have ever been carried out, so I don't know how much proof there is that they are effective, let alone whether they create a worse outcome.
My position is, homo sapiens have somehow survived for at least 300,000 years without suntan lotion, so I'm going to assume I don't need it. I do my best not to get burnt because it hurts, but I also do my best to get the sun on my skin because then it goes brown and doesn't get burnt. Which I assume is the bodies evolved response to sun exposure - get darker so as to not burn - based on the fact that peoples skin is darker in places where there is more sun.
And frankly, the older I get (currently 49) the less I trust the products of pharmacutical companies. I used to get a lot of colds and be forever taking cold remedies. I used to get a lot of allergies and have to take pills for that, too. I started cleaning up my diet, getting more exercise, sleeping better/more, practising gratitude, supplementing my vitamins and minerals, stopped using soaps or deodorant full of fragrance etc, and these days I'm rarely sick and the allergies have almost entirely gone. The hay fever that used to knock me on my ass for months every summer gives me a couple of weeks of annoyance in spring and that's it. I occasionally have to take a pain killer if I do something stupid like drink alcohol and smoke tobacco and go to bed late, but that's it. I think avoiding putting chemicals in or on your body is a pretty good idea, so I will continue to not use sun cream 🙂
@@DavetheChimp My mother.. now 78..had skin cancer 5 years ago on her back where sun never ever hits. It spread to her lymph nodes which were removed. She also had a basal cell carcinoma as did her sister on the side of her nose. Both of these women have for decades been using skin cream with SPF. I have come to the conclusion these 'skin protectors ' amplify getting cancers. I refuse to use any. My children never wear sunscreen and my husband will never use any. All of these things are just toxins for our bodies. GOD made the sun to provide life..not disease disease death. Man however, due to greed and to also wanting to off us, made these products to harm us in the end. Just like these vaccines.

You can't have good vit D levels unless you are metabolically healthy. Otherwise, your vit D will stay locked up within the fat cells due to high insulin. The quickest way to change this and increase vit D levels is to do some extended fasting! 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. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered.
Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis.
Fasting increases nitric oxide.
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.
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.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors!
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system.
Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. The hunger hormone ghrelin 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. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. 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 medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast.
Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity!
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, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. 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. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more.
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. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging.
Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate
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 under 18 g of carb.
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.

@@sammywhite9906 I will get 3-4 wackos/alts/paid trolls attack all at once basically every time I post here. And say crazy stuff like you will lose your hair fasting, die of malnutrition, and on and on every time I post. And it all comes on at once every time, from new users. I think they report me, too. But when people actually see my posts then I get tons of likes, so people do want the info.
My father developed dementia at 85 after taking high dose prednisone for PMR. On his last visit with the rheumatologist I asked if taking vitamin D3 would help, the doct agreed it would be fine. I researched side effects of prednisone and it clearly depletes Vit D3. I brought my dad home with me to northern California, started him on D3 5000iu, Vit C 1000 mg, daily eggs cooked in butter and coconut oil (which he didn't know) to increase the much needed healthy fats in his diet. He improved immediately! Several months later he went into memory care and I asked the staff to take him outside on the patio in the sun at least 15 minutes late morning. I later found out most of the residents were also taking at least 5000 iu vitamin D. I'm convinced had he started taking it several years earlier he would have had better quality of life and later onset of dementia.
Thank you Dr John. My mother was diagnosed with Diabetes when she was eighty then succumbed to Alzheimer’s for the last 4 years of her life. I am 76 diagnosed with pre diabetes seven years ago. My husband and I both take Vitamin D. I am so thankful for this information. Gives me confidence to keep taking it and hopefully delay the onset of the disease.
Don't eat sugar
don't take statins.... from what I am reading and hearing. Diabetes and blood sugar issues are a side effect .. allegedly rare.
There are lots of very helpful and explaining videos to get healthy again fast and easily. Look for Dr. Berg. Just great!
I found you Dr. Campbell during the pandemic. I'm so glad I am a subscriber. Your videos are so valuable here in the states. Thanks again.
This guy's brain seems fine. Great information. Thank you.
Thank you for this report.
I work with the elderly and have been recommending D just for infectious disease response and diabetes control.
Now yet another benefit joins the list.
Very, very interesting. A number of years ago I saw news of a study cited in RunnersWorld about runners and improved oxygen uptake with D3. I started 3000iu a day. After a bout of covid in Feb/Mar of ‘20, and seeing a study of improved covid outcomes of long term D3 intake cited by Dr. Mike Hanson on his TH-cam channel, I increased to 4000iu. I also noted that a few small, itchy spots of eczema disappeared. This runs in my family. In January of ‘21 I lost my father due to complications of Alzheimer’s. This study you’ve just informed us about has given me new hope. Seems to make sense now...we once spent much more time out in the sun.
Look into low carb high fat / keto diets in relation to Alzheimer
Stewart yes, the Egyptians worshipped the sun.
Been following you since the beginning of Covid. As always- great info. You, Sir, are a medical Rock Star.
Have passed this on to several of my friends and relatives - always excellent, well researched information. Thank you.
Keep up your great work Dr. Campbell! Much appreciated. As an aside, my brother and I had been plagued by gout for years. We found that 10K IU daily vitamin D3 completely stopped the very painful attacks since we started the higher levels (was 5,000 IUs). And as you say don't forget the Vitamin K2.
great info
One if my neighbors who ate very healthily but got leg cramps at night in his 60s took a glass of organic cider vinegar and honey in a glass of warm water first thing in the morning and his leg cramps stopped. I told another elderly neighbor to try that for his gout and it reduced his gout enormously. He admitted to when forgetting to take it for days the gout got worse again.
@@shooster5884 add to that some ginger and fresh lemon juice and you got yourself one potent health promoting , detoxifying cocktail.
@@crazyratlady3438 Yes, I vary it myself depending on mood! Cider vinegar when you research it has wonderful properties. Seems it very good for keeping arteries clean. I was recommended it after a car crash years ago to prevent arthritis later. I did at the time tend to suffer from what felt like an acid tummy and bowel - a burning feeling. A side effect of starting that morning glass of cider vinegar was that it entirely went away! I recommend that to anyone with tummy acidic feeling.. plus nb get a simple blood test for h pylori. H-pilori is I believe a cause of much Tummy trouble and something many people do not know about. It's cured with a few but strong tablets taken for a few weeks. Not pleasant but the results are great in terms of energy restored and digestive system relief. Worth googling about it for everyone. Everyone should know about it to know to get tested if they have stomach discomfort. Constantly being in pain and tired after food is not fun. If it is caused by H pilori it's so easy to rid yourself of it.
THANK YOU ... watching and learning from Ontario, Canada ♥
Thank you so much for this doc just wish the drs in the uk were on a level where we could ask for tests but as you know things are not what they used to be thanks so much for all your help have been taking the vits since seeing your podcast throughout the covid and am still doing it !
If you pay out-of-pocket will they do the test?
Yay! I’ve been taking vitamin D with K since Dr John told us about it during covid and it’s effects for illness prevention so great to know it’s got this going for it as well.
Love the work you are doing
Thank you so much, Dr Campbell, for giving us so important information.
You got me on it years ago. I have not had a cold or flu since then
Vaxxed?
Me too! No colds this winter
I am getting over a head cold now 6th day. Have been taking vitamin D 3. For 2 years. Just letting you know. Houston Texas

Thanks John, as always, an invaluable member of British society! All the best
Thank you for this valuable information! You always present the data in a simple yet non-condesending manner that is easier to understand. God bless you!
Thanks for this informative video. I take the same D3 and K2 as you. I would never of known this without your videos! Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! I will resume taking D3. I stopped a few weeks ago because my doctor told me to. I was doubling up because of covid and fortunately I have remained safe. I will resume without doubling. Thank you again as I have had family members who have suffered from this. God bless.
Fabulous information thanks a million Dr JC 👍🏼… love how JC explains everything so clearly 👌🏼… great resources too for people as a preventative measure , too late for my mother , but hopefully will help me and many other future generations 🙋🏻♀️
Interesting that l hear from a British medical worker about the positive results of taking D 3 from a study done here in Alberta. Thank you so much for helping me look after myself. Note that our doctors directed by our governmental medical bureaucrats here in canada also will not test for levels of vitamin d
That’s a good study. Now we need to do a randomized controlled study.
GOD BLESS Dr John Campbell!!! IN JESUS NAME!!! 🙏
Thank you Dr Campbell for everything you are doing to assist all of us to become more educated and control our health options! On my D3 and K2!
Dr Campbell I am so grateful for researching on our behalf You are amazing. I thank God for you. Your videos have held me steady through these crazy times❤
Wow!
Thanks for sharing this one.
I'd not heard about the dementia and diabetes connection, let alone the significance of vit D.
I will be keeping more of this vitamin on hand, especially during the winter months.
I've been taking this daily for about a month now, and I'm so glad I did. Before I would just casually take one maybe once a week. I had no idea it would help with back spasms/pain which I was suffering from daily for almost a year when I noticed they stopped about 2 weeks after taking a pill daily. I thought it odd that I wasn't having spasms anymore and this was the only thing different I incorporated so I confirmed it online. I didn't know it helped with dementia, added bonus!!
This was excellent and so helpful! I’d like to know the doses they tested. And I think it is very important to specify whether a doctor won’t test for vita’s levels or if your insurance/social medicine won’t pay for it because you can always have it done on your own and just pay for it.
I took 2000iu for a period of 6 months,and then 4000iu for 3 months and couldn’t get my numbers out of the 30’s. I am now taking 9500iu daily to finally get my numbers to 72. I started out at 9. Definitely can tell a difference in how I feel physically getting my numbers in the 70’s
It is my experience that taking higher amt of D3 is necessary to increase Vitamin D levels.
It's impossible to have high vit d levels while insulin is high from a high carb diet. The vitamins stay locked up in the fat cells and can't come out at all! 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. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered.
Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis.

WOW. This should be HUGE news, no? Especially because we can be so sure about the correlation, 40% is an extremely high number, like this should be a must take supplement
I started taking 4000iu D3 a day for Crohns Disease last Feb. Within a month all stomach cramping, sickness and other symptoms disappeared. Touch wood, not had a blip since and haven't felt as well in over twenty years. If it wasn't for this channel indicating the possible benefits of D3 for a range of illness, I'd still be suffering.
I have been taking vit D since Dr. Campbell said it protected against COVID. I'm still taking it as is my dear wife. Thank you Dr. C for all you do for us.
Ahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂
buck shot, don't forget to take K2 with it to prevent high blood calcium and calcium deposits in your arteries.
I took it BEFORE that when any sane person knew about this...dam late to tha party time to do your own research and get active...again this was all common knowledge that "suddenly" was forgotten trampled and buried just 3 years ago
