Thank You to Dr. Grimes for such a clear presentation. I note that even though this lecture was presented eleven years ago, there are still millions of people to this very day ( in 2002) who still need to hear this message.
And Ivor, I'm so glad you are on to vitamin D as an important health factor as part of your crusade to prevent heart disease. and with the help of your movie Extra Time Movie which I have seen and which I recommend. Get your calcium CAC score everybody.
Dr. Grimes was ahead of his time on this subject. I have kept my vitamin D level very high by current standards, for the last 10+ years. I am 76 years old now with no pain and healthier than ever. Three important cofactors for higher doses of vitamin D3 are magnesium glycinate, Vitamin K2, and omega 3 fish or krill oil.
Dr. David Grimes, I so appreciate you & your talk today. I come from Manchester (Chadderton/Oldham) trained Crumpsall /Rochdale/St. Mary’s. Would have loved to met you wile there. NOTHING was taught about nutrition during my time there. So wonderful to know doors are opening for GODS HEALING through all He has provided, including Vit D! Please tell me what the new normal level Vit D is today. There are different schools of thought here (Arizona); some say 40 Others say 80-90. Thank you so much & GOD BLESS YOU.
Vitamin D needs Co-Factors to work properly in the body. Taking it in isolation may push calcium right up. Vitamin K2, Magnesium & Boron are important to support D absorption & utilisation & calcium orchestration.
In Dr. Grimes lecture he took note that with the High Vit D 20,000 IU/week for three months, he did not see Calcium rise. (in the lecture) Yes, maybe with LONG term inputs K2 is necessary. Of course Mag is always important (everyone is low), and most need K2. I take all of these, including boron : ) But for MD's let's not scare the crowd, let them know D IS GOOD!!
Jammybullfrog: Thank you for this comment-I am currently suffering from hypercalcemia and didn’t know what to consider next. I started with upping magnesium citrate, but the synergy issue wasn’t discussed in the four videos I’ve watched so far. I can’t tell you how valuable the comment sections are all over the internet. A minute of your time will make a big difference for me in studying the cofactor perspective now. Big thanks, as I feel like I have rocks in my kidneys, and the brain fog makes me feel like I’m having to drive my own ambulance. Sometimes the drs just don’t help, in fact, 15 years ago, this happened after a dr told me, “You can’t overdose on a vit D3 supplement.” I showed her mine on the spot. So I took the dose recommended at the time (in 2007), 2-12,000 IU. That be was a mistake. They told me later that I had permanent damage and that it was irreversible. I had to find my own way to detox, and it took a year. This Vit D3 issue is a huge problem to me. Your input helps a lot.
Wonderful information. Definitely hope that additional information regarding the role of diet has been given since this video. Gluten, and grains in general, and pasteurized dairy are extremely damaging to the digestive system and therefore to the entire body. The digestive system is the center of health. Grains, pasteurized dairy, sugar, artificial ingredients including sweeteners, genetically modified organisms, meats from animals which haven't been raised as God intended, fish from contaminated waters chemically treated produce and water, processed foods, etc., all damage the body's ability to heal, absorb nutrients, and to thrive. Definitely sunshine and moderate exercise is important. Other nutrients to absorb Vitamin D, specifically D3, are important such as K2 mk7, as well. Sadly, many in the standard medical community worldwide continue to fail to focus on the digestive system as priority, the gut microbiome. Stressing to mothers how crucial it is to nurse their babies is of utmost importance fof the entire life of the baby. Reaerving C-sections as the last resort because the vaginal birth is so beneficial for the baby's microbiome for life. Mother's diet also is crucial for the baby while pregnant and nursing as well as for the mother. Horrid formulas destroy the baby's gut and health. Vaccines are completely unnecessary and greatly harm the body's immune system and toxify the entire body including the brain even resulting in death. To think anyone dares to add to an infant such disgusting toxins is completely inexcusable, or to anyone of any age. At some point, we absolutely must return to the benefits of properly fermenting foods grown correctly, not mass agriculture treated with chemicals grown in depleted overused soils. A Functional Medicine approach instead of a pharmacological approach is crucial and can even be part of emergency medicine, a portion of which could have been avoided completely had there been the correct approach taken prior to such emergency situations. I do agree with considering the entire body in the picture, including genetics and even whether or not someone sleeps next to or near a person who snores...a question never or extremely rarely even asked. Frequency of consumption of foods matters greatly, especially with consumption without digestive rest for a while between consumption. That's absolutely crucial. Over exercise is extremely damaging due to oxidative stress. Distance runners especially are oftentimes at greater risk. So many issues with the standard conventional pharmacological approach encouraged as the priority in MEDical schools, certainly at least in part if not completely due to the funding and leadership from the pharmaceutical industry. At least this video does address nutrients and sunshine as being an important focus to health. Thank you for posting this one.
Excellent. It is deeply lamentable that the medical profession is, almost always, so uninformed about such an important subject - the more so because the remedy is so simple, and inexpensive. D3 high potency drops, 2500iu per 0.5ml are available on amazon. Overdosing on D3 is really quite difficult to do, unless one is rather silly. From what I have read, 5000iu per day is likely to be an entirely safe maximum upper limit for most of us.
Just found your lecture. Very informative, thank you. Your book was mentioned on TH-cam by Dr (of nursing) John Campbell. Good vitamin D levels seem to be protective against so many ailments. It's not talked about enough. Most people in Britain will be deficient.
Amazing that two doctors have discouraged me from….taking VitaminD3…….One even becoming belligerent when I pointed out that studies show that large portions of the population are deficient….adults below the level that caused rickets in children……anyone have a similar experience…?
@@Icewing10 Agreed. Doctors where I live in the US do not seem to have had even an introductory nutrition class, much less any independent learning about this basic aspect of health.
Skin Pigmentation, skin products, BMI, Age, other medical factors possibly? A general rule, half the level of sun exposure, before a redness/burning feeling develops.
Great presentation. You mentioned that Vit. D injection WAS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE? I was just wondering what the solution base for the injection was ? Water or Fat? I ask this question because like B12 it was mentioned I think either in Germany or Russia that when the injection base was water it was eliminated faster than when it was fat/oil base. Please what is your position?
@@jinimurray4090 The vegan vitamin D extracted from lichens are in the form of D3, identical to the form biosynthesized on your own sun-exposed skin. The D2 form is extracted from mushrooms, not lichens. Both sources are suitable for vegan.
I am from pakistan i suffering from vit d diffeciency my vit d level is 5.19 i taking 800 iu daily i have body pain muscles cramps And some other issues what should i do for my daily supplements.?
Do your own research, but YES!! you can take way more. 5,000 IUs is a good starting place for adults. Maybe try an electrolyte powder and/or extra Magnesium for cramps. Best of luck!
Remember to take vitamin D3 with your main meal containing fat. The darker ones skin the higher the dose. Most adults 50-60 yo take 5000-10000 iu per day
It's hardly 'dangerous' to be a vegetarian in the North of England: just dangerous to have a doctor who doesn't know that there are vegan sources of vitamin D3.
