  • So many people in the industrialized nations are deficient in Vitamin D, it is truly an epidemic. When you consider that it is not just a vitamin, but also a pro-hormone, you can begin to understand the importance of this deficiency.
    Vitamin D deficiency can lead to weakened bones, yes, but it can also lead to weakened immune systems as well. The risk of cancer, and many other illnesses, increases with a dropping vitamin D level.
    The best way to get Vitamin D is from the Sun and from your diet. If you live too far north for the Sun, and can't get enough in your diet, then you should supplement. Having a healthy Vitamin D level is very important to your good health and longevity.

      Yes to all the above. At first they just put me on anti depression and mood stabilizer meds. Then a year later when I was having severe spine Paine they did a bone density scan. And sure enough they found all the reasons I was hurting all over in my bones. Osteoporosis, vit D level was 13, severely low calcium and have problems with absorption.
      Could absorption problems be due to low vit D ?

    Just wanting to share a public warning - my dad absolutely ruined his kidneys by taking way in excess the RDA, 60,000 IU’s with K2, he’s currently in hospital due to taking too much, he enjoyed the benefits of D3 so much that he just took more - 2 years later D3 toxicity- eGFR went down to 10. No one really talks about toxicity and most doctors haven’t seen it because it’s rare, but it does happen. Thanks for reading :)

      From what I've heard and understand and what Dr Berg keeps reiterating is that if you're taking high vit d3 dosages, you should be drinking at least 2 litres (could be more) of water a day to counteract toxicity and kidney stones. He said your body should cope with very high doses, even into 100,000s providing you drink the adequate amount of water. Don't think you should take high doses over long periods.

    When I was in nursing school my professor said she lost her son when he was 10. She went through a downward spiral and became extremely depressed life stopped for her. She started talking magnesium and vitamin d together and it changed her life. So of course I started I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression in my teens. And omg I can not tell you how much those two vitamins have changed my life. I don't even have to take antidepressants and anxiety meds anymore, it's been 2 years. I now tell everyone to take those two together. Bc the world needs to know.

    I had to fight 3 doctors to even get my thyroid tested, and after getting results for hypothyroidism; I then had to fight all over again to get further testing to make sure I didn’t have pituitary involvement or hashimoto - and in allllll the things I read I found there is a correlation between low thyroid and low vitamin D. My endocrinologist refused to order a Vit d test, but I was able to get my primary to do it - and I was at a 15 😑😑😑 A huge part of getting proper treatment is, unfortunately, doing your own research and insisting when the doctors are obviously neglecting your care.

      I learned that sometimes the doctor will say no cause the insurance company will not cover it. I had Cigna for 4 years my doctor would order vitamin D due to hypothyroidism and PCOS. However in 2019 and 2020, Cigna said that Vitamin D test wasn’t necessary and would not pay for the test. Now that COVID happened it’s now important. Sadly most medical care is usually up to insurance companies and not the provider- not saying that some doctors just shouldn’t practice period.

    I was once diagnosed with low vitamin d and I was so tired that I kept on nearly collapsing and I couldn’t barely stand and I was very depressed not bathing or eating and I was exhausted daily. The only missing symptoms were painful bones and painful muscles and slow healing, but I didn’t really get any injuries while I was vitamin d deficient and my cat could tell something was wrong with me and he was the one who encouraged me to eat one meal per day because he wouldn’t eat unless I fed myself. If he had food he wouldn’t eat unless I ate first which made me eat at least one meal a day to make sure he’d eat his food too. My cats are very sweet and very smart. They can tell when my health is off.

    About a year ago, I was waking up at night with extreme pain in my crotch which would go down the inside of my left leg. Started taking a potassium tablet & the pain would subside more quickly. Went to my doctor she told me to replace with diet tonic water (am type 2 diabetic) because my potassium levels were too high. Did that but still would get the pains, but this time it would start at my ankles and go up my leg. Someone told me to take vitamin D and have been taking only vitamin D3 both morning & night (3 capsules each time) and am not having any pains. What a relief! Someone told me this is "Restless Leg" Syndrome. I do not know, am 75 and not a doctor. Am just relieved I do not have to pay the high price for tonic water to get the quinine and am not experiencing the nightly pains. Thank you doctor for kindly sharing your knowledge with us.

      Another factor in Vitamin D production would be dietary cholesterol or fat. If you are on a fat free, cholesterol free diet you won't make any Vitamin D. That would only be if you are fairly lean though. If are on a low fat diet you will make very little Vitamin D.

    Another symptom I'd like to add to this list is: ANXIETY. I've had anxiety all my life, (generalized, anxiety disorder / panic disorder) and after years of therapy I had it pretty well under control on my own without medication. Well, when my vitamin D level went down, my anxiety got so bad that I ended up in the ER and they had to use a really strong sedative just to get me to calm down. It was terrifying. They of course ran all the tests you can imagine on me over the course of the next week, and luckily everything else was fine save for my vitamin D level -- which was down to a 6.5. That's extremely low. My doctor said it had to be what had thrown my body into a pretty much constant adrenalized state, and immediately got me on supplements. So yes, if you're experiencing anxiety, please make sure your doctor checks your vitamin D level regularly. It makes such a huge difference.
    UPDATE: I just wanted to add here for anyone who might need it, treating my low vitamin D has helped me a lot, but it turns out I also have hypothyroidism & Hashimoto's Disease, so the 3 together was what made my anxiety so severe. Really important to test all these things if you're struggling with anxiety that seems abnormal.

      Hey! Are you feeling better now? I had the same experience in June, felt randomly dizzy laying in bed then all of a sudden experienced a random panic attack ! My first thought was to go to a psychologist but went for months and still felt weird. Then I had a regular checkup with my primary doctor and discovered I am d3 deficient. Currently on 50,000 IU for 3 months, 3 weeks into it. My doctor didn't explain this causes anxiety but I remember this girl on Instagram recommending a hair analysis because people don't get panic attacks for no reason.

    Additional point (not sure if another commenter has mentioned this): people with darker skin often need to do Vit D supplements because our skin slows down the synthesization of sunlight into Vit D. Despite getting outside frequently during the spring and summer, I still had abysmally low Vit D levels, and several of the symptoms mentioned by Dr Berry. Dark skin + living in the US = low Vit D.

      Thats why people is Washington State have a high suicide rate. Its frequently gloomy and rainy. There is a research study from the 90' which tested that out by supplementing Vitamin D for those who took the supplement vs those who did not.

      My son who is now 36, was very moody some years back and withdrawn and I told him, he needed to get out more!!! I told him how it was said, most people were vitamin D deficient!!! He bought some supplements and began taking them and confessed it worked wonders!!! Yes many people have committed suicide because the mood sunk so low!!! All should feel better once out on a beautiful day!!! If not that is a sign something is wrong!!!
