I was deficient in vitamin d3 having levels of 18. Then i started taking 10,000 ius daily after listening doctor berg advice. I took it with fish oil. After 40 days of treatment, i got tested and my levels were 53.4. such an amazing and fast recovery it definitely surprised me. I'm from Pakistan and i wanna thank Dr. BERG for the knowledge he provided to us!!!
I haven't found anyone else that goes into this much depth to help. Not even my own doctors. I've had specialists, nutritionalists, many consultation after consultation. Many tests, poked and proded, many different medications and supplements and so on. My heath problems, which I've had my whole life, I've come to suspect is because of genetic deficiency of vitamin d and reception. I've watched dr berg for years and I'm so grateful to be given the information to start to finally be healthy and feel better. Thanks Dr. Berg
I take 20000 IU a day with k2, just tested levels after 6 months and came back 149 nmol/ml, no toxicity I feel so much better in general. Trust me go a high dose especially if you are older. Drink lots of water as well. I also eat plenty of yoghurt/kefir and walnuts to keep the gut healthy too, it helps.
I live in Florida for the winter and Canada in the summer. I love the sun and I have always gotten a beautiful tan every year. I have beautiful skin, I can’t remember the last time I was sick. I am 65 and have never taken medication or used sunscreen.
Thank you for all this information. I literally have been going at it trying to find a balance between supplementation and food as well as understanding how Vitamin D works. The symptoms can be horrendous and the progress slow without proper guidelines. Great tips! 🌻❤
@@jihashahid4116 I started with 20,000 iu for the first week and saw immediate results, I took it down to 10,000 after that. I felt like it might have been too much. I was taking a shot olive oil with the vitamin D3 pills as good fat to help it bind.
@@jihashahid4116 I’m not sure if basic coconut oil has the right amount of caprylic or not. I took an oil with a high level of caprylic acid. Good question though. Not sure if it was any different.
Excerpts Many health conditions are directly related to a problem with the vitamin D receptor, including: • Autoimmune diseases • Breast cancer and colon cancer • Certain cardiovascular diseases • Certain cognitive diseases • Diabetes (type 1 and type 2) • Metabolic syndrome • High blood pressure • Tuberculosis and certain infections • Lyme disease • Hair loss • Crohn’s disease • Respiratory infections • Asthma and food allergies • Low back pain • Vitiligo • Osteoporosis • COPD • PTSD How to increase vitamin D: 1. Take more vitamin D 2. Take your vitamin D supplements inconsistently 3. Take magnesium 4. Take zinc 5. Take bile salts 6. Consume omega-3 fatty acids 7. Consume vitamin K2 8. Take resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, and sulforaphane 9. Consume butyrate (vegetables) Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
I have 22 for vitamin D and also suffer autoimmune. Whenever I take this vitamin, I get nausea, a light fever and bloating - so I completely stop taking it. But Dr. Berg has given wonderful idea to give a 3/4 days gap after each intake. I think this should work. Thank you Dr. Berg!!!
In his other video, Dr Berg also mentioned a list of symptoms may occur when taking vitamin D and that it’s important to also take magnesium (Mg) with vitamin D3 (D3 is the best form to take). D & Mg work in synergy together.
I recently contracted Covid. I take 5,000 to 10,000 IU usually. When I got sick I went up to 40,000 to 50,000 IU Vitamin D3. Also started taking Vitamin K2 with it. With it I took whole food C, and more zinc. The worst of the headache and shortness of breath lasted about 4 days. I'm doing ok now. Been about 2 weeks. Of course I take electrolyte powder lol. Thank you Dr Berg. I followed your advice first.
Next time add Quercetin twice a day and take it with your zinc. Quercetin helps the zinc fight. It's like it opens the door for it. Quercetin is an ionophore.
Wow, everything single thing you have said is true. I take all the vitamins listed and I DO notice a huge difference. I also tried a week of different foods and something in Avocados gave me joint relief as well, I don't understand the how or why. Got the keto book, more raw, and sun when I can, raining now, but usually 'cloudy' til 2pm. Great video confirmation!❤️
@@Drberg Dr. Berg I saw your recent video that led me to this video. Can u please explain if I shouldn’t be taking vitamin d3 if I have lupus? (Which never affected me and I’ve had it over 35 years) I’m your first video u said people with lupus shouldn’t take d3. In this video u said take it. Which one is it? Sorry Can u please clarify? Confused.
Wow what a perfect explanation is it? Thank you very much. I saw most of your videos they are very clear, easy to understand, the way you speak and pronounce words is very perfect. Thank again.
LONG TIME LISTENER, FIRST TIME CALLER. Dr. Berg love that you are getting inspired by your own genetics to make more videos that are new. I'm on this same path of understanding my genetics. Looking back i can see how there were family members who struggled with certain conditions that were genetic and they never knew and because now I know I have these genetic predispositions. Now that we have the blessing of seeing our own genetics we can alter our enviroment. :) Great video. Vitamin D has to be converted into its active form in the body ( this is not what they measure on blood tests they measure the inactive form). Some genes will lessen this conversion rate. Meaning you might have plenty of vitamin D on your blood test but behind the scenes you aren't converting it to the proper form in order for it to be properly utilized by the receptor. MAG and Zinc are crucial for this conversion process. So if you have genetic predisposition to low vitamin D, or low mag, or low zinc ( yes there's genetics that can affect all those levels), you might not be getting the biggest bag for your buck with your vitamin D supplement. If you haven't looked into Dr. Ben Lynch he has some great videos on genetics and has been a pioneer in this feild of using genetics to guide your medicine, and using food and supplements to correct those gene expressions etc. So glad you are bringing awareness to this bio-individuality part of our care. 🥰 Dr. BERG THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.
Boy does it feel like this video was made for me! I've been letting my body guide me (along with educational videos and medical recommendations from professionals) on what feels good to take in supplements, such as quercetin, zinc, K2, fish oil, and magnesium. I take 5000 IU's of vitamin D3 daily, and my blood levels were at exactly 50 ng/ml last I checked. So I assumed I was good. BUT, the more we look, the more we learn about the important details. My autoimmune issues still haunt me, and I'm disabled. So I will look into genetic testing for vitamin D receptors. This is the first possible avenue forward I've had in a year that really fits my circumstances. Definitely worth checking out. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
If I take less than 20,000 IUs of D3 a day, my autoimmune flares up. I tried 5,000 and 10,000 and it flares up the next day every time. Up to 30,000 a day is safe without having to change anything.
Dr. tested me, was 20, prescribed me D2 50,000 units once a week. I have cll, hypothyroidism, IBS, gastritis, bad stomach adhesions, glaucoma, trigeminalneuralgi, high blood pressure, ptsd. But at 72 I walk a lot and can run a mile.
Your comment caught my attention. I also have cll diagnosed 5 year ago and started calquence in nov. I wonder if it’s ok to take this vitamin d3 having cll? I bought dr. Berg vitamin d3
I had a doctor freak out once when I got my D tested..! She said it is way too high and called me telling me to immediately get off my D supplements…, I of course did not get off of them…! I had just finished a course of taking 100,000iu for a week about two weeks earlier. I was very happy to see my levels up high…! I had read all of the studies, non mainstream, on high dose vita D benefits. And I have never looked back, I also stopped going to that doctor because I tried to explain to her and she did not want to listen. I don’t let body mechanics bully me… my body my choice! So unless a doctor is humble enough to listen to my side of things I fire them…! I am happily doing well and take about 30,000iu daily
I have been learning so much from Dr Berg. I never knew how important vitamin D is and I have been seeing remarkable difference in immunity since we started taking D3 with K
Ok this is interesting, because my doctor's office lab said my vitamin D level was 126, when they tested my blood. They actually told me to stop supplementing because it was "too high" 🙄🙄. But I'm wondering what my level actually is in my cells, because I do have POTS, however it is manageable thank the Lord! I also started taking glutathione several months ago and that has helped my liver immensely I believe. I have more good days than bad now!
Dr. Berg Your videos have helped me a lot. I just started my Keto journey and I gotta say I feel much better, and it's only been 3 weeks. I was wondering if you could make a video on Lipoma and how to reduce it on the body. Thank you in advance.
I just talked to my Doctor this week and told him I was wanting to up my D3 to 30,000 or even 40,000 a day. He was like no way I said isn't it an anti-inflammatory and with crohn's I have all kinds of inflammation going on. He looked at my blood work and said mine was fine but I was already taking 5000 to 10,000 a day at that time. He said if I wanted to try it go to 20,000 maybe 30,000 a day but not over that. I was really wanting to get up to 50,000 and see how it worked for me after a few months of doing this. I'm so frustrated with our medical system in the US right now. I just don't know what to do. I've tried so many things with no luck. I do take VSL-3 and started the Colostrum from Sovereign you talked about in one of your videos to help restore the guy and it has helped me. Thank you Doctor.
Dr. Berg, I have a couple of specific questions, please. ( Today is 9-14-2023 ). Do you recommend a specific place to have the genetic testing done ? Most importantly, after the testing is done…….did you show the results concerning the receptors to your regular medical doctor…….to prove that the receptor is the problem…….and to maybe get off your case when your Labs show your levels to be waaaay beyond what they typically want ? Or will they STILL give you a hard time……and not CARE what the testing showed ? There are 7 of us in my family who really want to do the testing, but I told everyone to put their brakes on until I came to you FIRST. Thank you.❤️
I took tablets on daily basis. 1. D3 (1000IU)+ K2, 2. Cal+mag+zinc+copper 3.neobion (B1, b6+12) 4. Vit c 5. Cod liver oil (added vit D and A) I have sinusitis and lose my sense of smell for 20yr. Not know what's the caused of it. If I took high dose of vit c (2000mg). I regained my sense of smell. Not for long. Just for few hour. One day I took a test. My Vit C is critically low, and I found out I'm allergic to soy. So I took anti histamine when the pain/allergy reaction is unbearable. Coffee also help alot.
Important video. Potent tool against cancer and all autoimmune disease (even with total remission). For those more interested, I highly recommend the recently published book "Vitamin D Vitamin C Iodine" by Dr. Doumenach. Regards
Absolutely true. I've not heard of the book, but I cured esophageal cancer using iodine, essential oils, vitamin D3 and vitamin C. Anything is possible. 👍👍
@@bettyshar9998 I would recommend a 3rd-party tested high-potency brand, but I take 50,000 IU of the cheap brand Spring Valley because it's all I can afford.
Another great video! When you touched on all that can happen with vitamin D I was like that is many within the same as insulin resistance/syndrome x. Great information, I’d love to see a video touching on more detail with vitamin D and insulin resistance/syndrome x. 😊
@@Drberg Can you do a more in depth video on MS, Parkinson's and how to improve your symptoms because I've been meeting soo many people with these and need more help. Most can't believe when I tell them about food changes, vitamin D, etc.( they keep thinking if soo easy why hasn't any dr. told them- I explained why, still don't believe soo easy) Need your help. Thanks! PS: Been taking B1, per your advice since (1/1), Oh! my gosh!!! You know this, but for anyone who is reading this is....Wow!! it works!! I have RSD/CRPS,(along with a severe knee injury) and there are days I'm exhausted and I'm still able to keep going wondering how, then remembered I took B1. Always take it in the morning, unless you want to have energy at night, tried it twice to see what will happen so you don't have it. 😀😀😀
High fructose corn syrup is one of those vitamin D receptor blockers (Medcram video on vitamin D). You could have normal or even high levels of vitamin D but because of HFC in majority of processed foods the vitamin D isn’t doing what it supposed to do which is boost our immune response to all the bugs out there.
HFCs , nasty, all that trash oil’s are in the food now, because of the prices from Covid-19 lockdown….it has become a no situation, food companies just laugh at what they do
Good video. Wish you talked about K2 because they're related!! Especially Do I need to take vitamin D WITH K2 supplement or just D by itself supplement if I'm eating salads? And you didn't say how much supplement I need?? Is 5000 IU too much?
I moved to a very sunny area last June & spent months outside enjoying it & I also take supplements! At my new patient visit in October, I asked her to do vitamin D test in the bloodwork. It came back 100 and she said that's too high, try to get it down!
My blood level Vit D is now at 100. It helps me so much with pain and inflammation that I’m not going to stop taking it (with the correct ratio of K2 of course). I do skip some days and then take a larger dose (30,000 or so IUs).
Vitamin D3 with K2 really help! My optimal vitamin D level has helped me in CoVID & flu. I had very mild symptoms for CoVID (just fatigue) flu symptoms didn’t last long either . It took me nearly 3 years to get to just normal level but that was 18 years ago. Getting a lot of sunshine does not guarantee better level - my friends in S Italy were shocked to find out they were deficient. Now they are all on vitamin D 😍
Thank you DB for the recent Vit D uploads...I personally am recovering from Vitimin D deficiency...my health turned off like a light switch over 3 months

Hello. You have helped me much with constipation and V B1. I have A. S. Angolosking Spinalitiust, cant spell to save myself... But it hurts a lot. I have done an ok job keeping flare ups at bay, I also have Irightius, and my sinus headaches are gone, but I am now taking 4-6,000 IU of V D, waking u, with each meal, and before bed, as well as cut as much sugar out as possible. Eating a lot of brokiloi, carrots, cucumber, red peppers, beef patty, and eggs, washed down with blueberries, pears, or apples. Really change my life. Sinus 98.9% clear, throat mucus almost gone, No back pain no inflammation, no soreness, no discomfort at all. I was on Ibprofin 20 years ago, 9 pills a day, for 8-10 years. I went to Dr, 2 year later I was diagnosed with A.S. after blood work, and X ray. OMG the process took forever. I said get me off these pills, he said here take these pills instead. I left never went back, never took his pills. All this time it was the sugar, and my Low D, that allowed fungus to take over and try to kill me.
Tudca has changed my life. It cured my acid reflux. Not sure what the difference is between tudca and bile salts. I would like to know what brand is recommended for regular bile salts.
I love Dr Berg! I’m doing keto and IF, I’ve been doing it for about a month. I’m STILL so hungry in the morning, it’s like half my day is just miserable. Added salt to water, tried MCT in coffee, increased fat day before, nothing has worked. 😢
I have the same issue. Fasting at work isn't a problem for me because I'm so busy. It's my days off that I struggle. So I try to keep myself busy with tasks otherwise I'll mindlessly eat.

When your shadow is shorter than yourself is the time of the day when the sun is high enough to manage to send the UV-B down to earth. Depending on where you live, the time frame might be very short like about 3 months a year, 3 hours a day at midday between 12 - 3 pm during summer like here in Germany - or if you live closer to Equator and have 365 days summer you can get your Vitamin D throughout the year when the sun is at the highest point.
Dr Berg, do you have any videos on improving digestion. I can’t eat any vegetables, I get too much pain. I’ve tried taking HCI and it just burns my stomach.
For physical pain relief lay down on your bed close your eyes and concentrate on the pain area while doing this cite the numbers 55515 in your head for about 15minutes..you can do this several times a day when the pain starts. This does not take the cause of the pain away but gives pain relief!!!
The radiologist followed me up to my doctor's office ... my chest xray was white. Or he said, perhaps I was too obese for a good pic. I had a slight fever. I was sent for Covid testing. Negative. The doctor did not prescribe any meds. This was the last of January, 2020. I was listless and breathless and dizzy ALL 2020. I could not do anything for five minutes.

Thank you as always Dr Berg this may be part of the puzzle that I'm trying to figure out. Even though I take vitamin D3 with K2, zinc and a number of other things, if my receptors are not capable of doing their job, I need to find out if I have that genetic issue. I'm also going to get tested for the MTHFR gene as a number of conditions of that defect match a number of symptoms I have along with siblings and mother.

Your Dr can order blood work to measure calcium levels, kidney and liver function. If your calcium levels are elevated, kidney or liver numbers show damage, and then it's too high. Honestly, if you feel well and your blood work is fine, you shouldn't worry.
Dr berg I have an unrelated question , what is the best supplement to take for tendon pain during perimenapause ? Would drinking chicken broth or bone broth help?
Thanks Dr. Berg for this updated video on D3 . However I would like your opinion on the optimal blood level of D3 not he reference range on the blood test .
Vitamin D levels don't necessarily translate to active vitamin D. What they are testing for in blood tests is the inactive form of vitamin D. This vitamin D has to go through a process to convert into its active form but in order to do that you need good amounts of Mag and Zinc. There are environmental and genetic factors that can deplete your body of both those. So even if your vitamin d on blood test looks good you don't really know if you are converting it properly. The converted vitamin D is what they use in immune therapy for cancer in immune therapy. Just goes to show you how important it is. So knowing your genetics might help you understand if you have a predispositions.

You can take 20000 IU prescription strength once every 4 days. It I s the same size as the 1000 IU pills.
If you are taking a pill, try taking it from cod liver, as Dr recommends
That is exactly why I stopped taking vitamin D Nausea and a peristent cough.
Try a sublingual one.
In his other video, Dr Berg also mentioned a list of symptoms may occur when taking vitamin D and that it’s important to also take magnesium (Mg) with vitamin D3 (D3 is the best form to take). D & Mg work in synergy together.
I recently contracted Covid. I take 5,000 to 10,000 IU usually. When I got sick I went up to 40,000 to 50,000 IU Vitamin D3. Also started taking Vitamin K2 with it. With it I took whole food C, and more zinc. The worst of the headache and shortness of breath lasted about 4 days. I'm doing ok now. Been about 2 weeks. Of course I take electrolyte powder lol. Thank you Dr Berg. I followed your advice first.
Next time add Quercetin twice a day and take it with your zinc. Quercetin helps the zinc fight.
It's like it opens the door for it. Quercetin is an ionophore.
Which brand of K2
I don't think it'll happen to you again. You've gained immunity.
Or drink green tea egcg does the same.
@jtobit Dr Berg's is probably a good one.
Wow, everything single thing you have said is true. I take all the vitamins listed and I DO notice a huge difference.
I also tried a week of different foods and something in Avocados gave me joint relief as well, I don't understand the how or why.
Got the keto book, more raw, and sun when I can, raining now, but usually 'cloudy' til 2pm.
Great video confirmation!❤️
What's the name of the book?
Thanks for sharing!!
@@Drberg Dr. Berg I saw your recent video that led me to this video. Can u please explain if I shouldn’t be taking vitamin d3 if I have lupus? (Which never affected me and I’ve had it over 35 years) I’m your first video u said people with lupus shouldn’t take d3. In this video u said take it. Which one is it? Sorry Can u please clarify? Confused.
Wow what a perfect explanation is it? Thank you very much. I saw most of your videos they are very clear, easy to understand, the way you speak and pronounce words is very perfect. Thank again.
amazing work. thank you . does vitamin D deficiency effect one's libido ? I have a hunch it does. keep up the great work
You are a kind and genuine humanitarian Dr. Berg! 😊❤️ Thank you!
Love all your videos. I've been taking vitamin D for years and I love being outside.
LONG TIME LISTENER, FIRST TIME CALLER.
Dr. Berg love that you are getting inspired by your own genetics to make more videos that are new. I'm on this same path of understanding my genetics. Looking back i can see how there were family members who struggled with certain conditions that were genetic and they never knew and because now I know I have these genetic predispositions. Now that we have the blessing of seeing our own genetics we can alter our enviroment.
:) Great video.
Vitamin D has to be converted into its active form in the body ( this is not what they measure on blood tests they measure the inactive form). Some genes will lessen this conversion rate. Meaning you might have plenty of vitamin D on your blood test but behind the scenes you aren't converting it to the proper form in order for it to be properly utilized by the receptor. MAG and Zinc are crucial for this conversion process. So if you have genetic predisposition to low vitamin D, or low mag, or low zinc ( yes there's genetics that can affect all those levels), you might not be getting the biggest bag for your buck with your vitamin D supplement.
If you haven't looked into Dr. Ben Lynch he has some great videos on genetics and has been a pioneer in this feild of using genetics to guide your medicine, and using food and supplements to correct those gene expressions etc.
So glad you are bringing awareness to this bio-individuality part of our care. 🥰 Dr. BERG THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.
Boy does it feel like this video was made for me! I've been letting my body guide me (along with educational videos and medical recommendations from professionals) on what feels good to take in supplements, such as quercetin, zinc, K2, fish oil, and magnesium. I take 5000 IU's of vitamin D3 daily, and my blood levels were at exactly 50 ng/ml last I checked. So I assumed I was good. BUT, the more we look, the more we learn about the important details. My autoimmune issues still haunt me, and I'm disabled. So I will look into genetic testing for vitamin D receptors. This is the first possible avenue forward I've had in a year that really fits my circumstances. Definitely worth checking out. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
If I take less than 20,000 IUs of D3 a day, my autoimmune flares up. I tried 5,000 and 10,000 and it flares up the next day every time. Up to 30,000 a day is safe without having to change anything.
u should be around 80 is good
@@vict0ree u take k2 with it too??
@jihashahid4116 yes, 400mcg of K2
Assuming you have the Taq gene variant, there is nothing you can so
Dr. tested me, was 20, prescribed me D2 50,000 units once a week. I have cll, hypothyroidism, IBS, gastritis, bad stomach adhesions, glaucoma, trigeminalneuralgi, high blood pressure, ptsd. But at 72 I walk a lot and can run a mile.
Your comment caught my attention. I also have cll diagnosed 5 year ago and started calquence in nov. I wonder if it’s ok to take this vitamin d3 having cll? I bought dr. Berg vitamin d3
@@lucylu0615 how are you doing?
@@harryvanda684 I’m doing good. I’m feeling my normal self. I’m still on calquence. It feels like I’m taking a vitamin.
I had a doctor freak out once when I got my D tested..! She said it is way too high and called me telling me to immediately get off my D supplements…, I of course did not get off of them…!
I had just finished a course of taking 100,000iu for a week about two weeks earlier. I was very happy to see my levels up high…! I had read all of the studies, non mainstream, on high dose vita D benefits. And I have never looked back, I also stopped going to that doctor because I tried to explain to her and she did not want to listen.
I don’t let body mechanics bully me… my body my choice! So unless a doctor is humble enough to listen to my side of things I fire them…!
I am happily doing well and take about 30,000iu daily
Can i ask how high were your Vit D on your blood test? Trying to find how high they are ment to be, as my doctor said the same thing.
How are you doing now? What's your current level ? If it's over 100ng isn't that getting towards toxicity?
You are the master of your health, well said. Fired your body mechanic LOL 😆
She's probably bit the dust now
I respect,admire and appreciate the kind of work you are doing!!!!!
May God bless you!!!
Dr berg happy new year..can a person do fasting while doing supplements..thanks
Dr Berg is a blessing !!!! So much info that isn't available anywhere else !!!! 🙏
Love this channel so much!
And he's not wasting time. Short videos with a lot of info.
I have been learning so much from Dr Berg. I never knew how important vitamin D is and I have been seeing remarkable difference in immunity since we started taking D3 with K
Ok this is interesting, because my doctor's office lab said my vitamin D level was 126, when they tested my blood. They actually told me to stop supplementing because it was "too high" 🙄🙄. But I'm wondering what my level actually is in my cells, because I do have POTS, however it is manageable thank the Lord! I also started taking glutathione several months ago and that has helped my liver immensely I believe. I have more good days than bad now!
Dr. Berg Your videos have helped me a lot. I just started my Keto journey and I gotta say I feel much better, and it's only been 3 weeks. I was wondering if you could make a video on Lipoma and how to reduce it on the body. Thank you in advance.
I just talked to my Doctor this week and told him I was wanting to up my D3 to 30,000 or even 40,000 a day. He was like no way I said isn't it an anti-inflammatory and with crohn's I have all kinds of inflammation going on. He looked at my blood work and said mine was fine but I was already taking 5000 to 10,000 a day at that time. He said if I wanted to try it go to 20,000 maybe 30,000 a day but not over that. I was really wanting to get up to 50,000 and see how it worked for me after a few months of doing this. I'm so frustrated with our medical system in the US right now. I just don't know what to do. I've tried so many things with no luck. I do take VSL-3 and started the Colostrum from Sovereign you talked about in one of your videos to help restore the guy and it has helped me. Thank you Doctor.
May I ask what your vitamin D level was?
I’ve been taking Vinia and VitD3 for a couple months. Vinia has resveratrol and I really think I have been feeling more energy.
How to heal the receptors??
Is there a way to activate them?
Dr. Berg, I have a couple of specific questions, please. ( Today is 9-14-2023 ). Do you recommend a specific place to have the genetic testing done ? Most importantly, after the testing is done…….did you show the results concerning the receptors to your regular medical doctor…….to prove that the receptor is the problem…….and to maybe get off your case when your Labs show your levels to be waaaay beyond what they typically want ? Or will they STILL give you a hard time……and not CARE what the testing showed ? There are 7 of us in my family who really want to do the testing, but I told everyone to put their brakes on until I came to you FIRST. Thank you.❤️
Would this explain why my vitamin d levels on my blood test were near toxic levels? What does this mean and how can I fix this?
I found very helpful and fascinating this video thank you!!
Most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
I took tablets on daily basis.
1. D3 (1000IU)+ K2,
2. Cal+mag+zinc+copper
3.neobion (B1, b6+12)
4. Vit c
5. Cod liver oil (added vit D and A)
I have sinusitis and lose my sense of smell for 20yr. Not know what's the caused of it. If I took high dose of vit c (2000mg). I regained my sense of smell. Not for long. Just for few hour. One day I took a test. My Vit C is critically low, and I found out I'm allergic to soy. So I took anti histamine when the pain/allergy reaction is unbearable. Coffee also help alot.
dont take magnesium and calcium together. also you dont need calcium supplement when you have vitamin d
Yes…

High fructose corn syrup is one of those vitamin D receptor blockers (Medcram video on vitamin D). You could have normal or even high levels of vitamin D but because of HFC in majority of processed foods the vitamin D isn’t doing what it supposed to do which is boost our immune response to all the bugs out there.
HFCs , nasty, all that trash oil’s are in the food now, because of the prices from Covid-19 lockdown….it has become a no situation, food companies just laugh at what they do

The most confusing topic around people with no MD background.. Thank you Dr. Berg.. And Happy New Year to you and your family..
1. Any side effects of getting Vitamin D supplements.. 2. How much one can get Vitamin D just by having a regular exposure to Sun 3. Is it really true that once your skin gets darker, you are loosing the benefit of absorbing Vitamin D ? 4. When you have a sunbath, what would be the ideal time ? Half an hour a day, 15 mins a day to feed your Vit D stocks? 5. Side effects of Suncreams for absorbing Vitamin D ? 6. Is it a city legend or is there any scientific background for suggesting not to have a shower or dusch-gel after having a Sunbath ? 7. Who determines what is the best level of Vitamin D in your blood ? How reliable the tests are ? 8. What is the correlation between the deficiency of B12, Vit D and Fe ? 9. Does intake of Mg and Vit D cause any Kidney Stones ? 9. Why
it is critical to have Vit D with K2? I can add more and more Dr Berg as it is one of the most confusing topic for me. Regards…

I have done an ok job keeping flare ups at bay, I also have Irightius, and my sinus headaches are gone, but I am now taking 4-6,000 IU of V D, waking u, with each meal, and before bed, as well as cut as much sugar out as possible. Eating a lot of brokiloi, carrots, cucumber, red peppers, beef patty, and eggs, washed down with blueberries, pears, or apples. Really change my life. Sinus 98.9% clear, throat mucus almost gone, No back pain no inflammation, no soreness, no discomfort at all. I was on Ibprofin 20 years ago, 9 pills a day, for 8-10 years. I went to Dr, 2 year later I was diagnosed with A.S. after blood work, and X ray. OMG the process took forever. I said get me off these pills, he said here take these pills instead. I left never went back, never took his pills. All this time it was the sugar, and my Low D, that allowed fungus to take over and try to kill me.

When your shadow is shorter than yourself is the time of the day when the sun is high enough to manage to send the UV-B down to earth. Depending on where you live, the time frame might be very short like about 3 months a year, 3 hours a day at midday between 12 - 3 pm during summer like here in Germany - or if you live closer to Equator and have 365 days summer you can get your Vitamin D throughout the year when the sun is at the highest point.

Thank you as always Dr Berg this may be part of the puzzle that I'm trying to figure out. Even though I take vitamin D3 with K2, zinc and a number of other things, if my receptors are not capable of doing their job, I need to find out if I have that genetic issue.

I wonder if you have got issues. I cut out gluten 2 years ago and it has completely changed my life. Now my Gut can extract all the vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, etc. That I take in!!
you need magnesium also to turn D3 into actual D hormone

Your Dr can order blood work to measure calcium levels, kidney and liver function. If your calcium levels are elevated, kidney or liver numbers show damage, and then it's too high. Honestly, if you feel well and your blood work is fine, you shouldn't worry.

Dr berg I have an unrelated question , what is the best supplement to take for tendon pain during perimenapause ? Would drinking chicken broth or bone broth help?
Thanks Dr. Berg for this updated video on D3 .
However I would like your opinion on the optimal blood level of D3 not he reference range on the blood test .
Vitamin D levels don't necessarily translate to active vitamin D. What they are testing for in blood tests is the inactive form of vitamin D. This vitamin D has to go through a process to convert into its active form but in order to do that you need good amounts of Mag and Zinc. There are environmental and genetic factors that can deplete your body of both those. So even if your vitamin d on blood test looks good you don't really know if you are converting it properly. The converted vitamin D is what they use in immune therapy for cancer in immune therapy. Just goes to show you how important it is. So knowing your genetics might help you understand if you have a predispositions.

It is p53 mutant with estrogen positivity. My mother was having 6cm of lump in both the breasts. I am extremely tensed. I just want to prevent its recurrence. Please guide me how to do it.. she is taking apricot seeds daily along with egcg capsules , no added sugar in diet , dandelion tea, green tea, curcumin. Is this enough? Each and everything you will advise me , I am ready to do that.
She is hypertensive as well and is on CCB for the same.
I have hear of effectiveness of vitamin D3 in preventing cancer. But I'm having a family history of heart diseases. Will it not be harmful for arteries to Take vitamin D3 k2 on a daily basis? Will it not lead to excessive calcium in bloodstream? And yes her breast reports showed areas of calcification. So taking vitamin D3 k2 is okay or not?
I have heard of astaxanthin too .But there are many females who have suffered irregular menstruation after taking astaxanthin so would you suggest astaxanthin in my mom's case?
And any other preventive measure for her contribution?
And what's your take on omega 3, especially in my mom's case
Hello there, I just shared some information and a video on another of your comments. Let me know how it goes!
@@Drberg doc there are studies which suggests that Iodine increases the chances of estrogen positive tumors...... Phyllodes is estrogen positive. Should I give my mother iodine or not?.

What about PMR? I’ve been on Prednisone over 6 years. Started on 20 mg now 2/3 mg. I’ve changed my diet , garden, outside all summer and when I can in the winter. Just started vitamins d-k2 and red algae, and a few others. Other than that I’m very healthy.

Dr. Berg, how do you feel about the Vitamin D added to organic whole milk? It is expensive, but since hubs and I are mildly lactose we give it to our kids and use it in baking. Does it make a significant enough difference (especially in children) to keep using? We also use liquid Vitamin D drops (better absorption?) With Barleans key lime liquid fish oil sporatically in the evenings for our whole family. These are just bits of info I pieced together, we live in MN hardly any sun for weeks now!
I believe the vit d added to products is d2. Not the type needed
There is always sun.
Vitamin d added in the milk is actually not good. Best to get it from fatty fish or pasture raised eggs n the sun
Thank You! I’ll give more vitamin D a try! I appreciate this.
I appreciate everything you do!
? Question, can you please recommend a vitamin D supplement? Thank you.
