I was the wife of a doctor of integrative medicine for over 30 years. We treated decades of different viruses and health catastrophes with vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, Vitamin C drips, Meyer's Cocktail IVs, hydrogen peroxide IVs, chelation and lots of advice. We didn't think much of curing everybody. But in Ontario now, doctors who post about Vitamin D and its necessity for the immune system are threatened by Health Canada and censored. Naturopaths have been told that they cannot promote Vitamin D and C. The Public Health Doctor for Canada, Dr. Tam calls the use of these vitamins "Snake Oil". Your videos, Dr. Sam, are very dear to the public. I love to watch them.
If you consider the sources I am tired of government telling us what to do. For over a decade in America we were told climate change was bad that co2 was bad truth is plants which are our source of food for not only us but the animals we eat and plants including mainly green pigments convert carbon dioxide into oxygen by the way of photosynthesis which a scientist named Ian Isanhous born in 1730 and died in 1799. He claimed that with sunlight and water plants were able to convert co2 into oxygen but because of Obama's climate change models didn't fit that scenario photosynthesis was forgotten by our scientists. Why do you think they were called oxygen bearing plants .Carbon dioxide only becomes lethal according to a google search at about 110000 parts per million. Since confined spaces are already limited on oxygen and we use oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide in human respiration why confined spaces are so dangerous. Many have been talking about going to Mars the planet but looking up what NASA satellite have come up with no human could survive there. The atmosphere is 94.6 percent co2 and average temperature is about a negative 83 degrees Fahrenheit we would die of hypothermia in minutes.
@@gwenlair5198I agree, How "science" could "forget" about photosynthesis, a principle I learned in grade school? Perhaps Obama and globalists counted on general ignorance of that fact ..
Young lady, you are so beautiful, and absolutely GLOWING!!! Your smile can light up the world, and Im happy to see the world has the opportunity to enjoy your LIGHT!!! 💞🙏💞
Love your videos. I'm from Australia and have won the fight against diabetes when diagnosed end up taking 2000mg of Metformin and injecting insulin 3 times a day. Then my body began to breakdown etc.. not to mention overweight. But now I am 61 lost weight from 115kg down to 87Kg all naturally as soon as I gave up sugar and processed sugar. I feel better now than when I was in my 30's. I do weight training 3 times a week and am on a good diet.
Great video. I have first hand experience of D3 deficiency. For about 8 years I suffered from a constant viral state, bone and muscle pain, depression, chest infections, profuse sweating, damaged vocal cords, no energy and other symptoms. I eat oily fish, love vegetables and generally eat a healthy diet but live in the Northern hemisphere and apply factor 30 sunscreen when sunbathing. I was at rock bottom and couldn’t see a way forward with my life feeling this way - if you understand what I mean - which is totally unlike me. I was desperate and doctors weren’t listening. I finally saw a different doctor who took more bloods and discovered that my body was fighting at this point serious disease and quite rightly started with the more sinister things. I was sent for scans and x-rays but she also discovered that I had a huge Vit D deficiency and put me on high doses of D3 with monitoring. Within about 10 days I felt better than I had in years. I now have NONE of the symptoms described above and have embarked on a serious fitness campaign (because I now can). My life has totally turned round. So, thanks to people like you, people like me are living a much better life.
Did the doc tell you to drop the sunscreen? That cant be good for you either, go out in the morning to catch the sun, the evening as well, and the mid-day wear a hat! In NZ we have the worst rates for UV exposure due to the ozone hole, but still, I use SPF6 for three months of the year when its at its worse, also a loose longsleeve shirt, and wear a hat for half the year...
Since giving my 82 year old father 10,000iu of vitamin D3 per day 8 years of knee pain went away within a few weeks, now instead of laying in bed all day as he did for years, he walks around a lot more and spends time in the garden
Dee....that’s great news, so glad you’re there to help your dad keep well! I had the same problem, I had knee pain for three years after falling down stairs...I started taking 10,000iu/day for about 4 weeks then down to 5,000iu ongoing....knee pain has completely gone! I can’t recommend it enough to people, but some are sceptical and don’t want to take that amount! 😢
YES, that is the right dosage! For example 10.000 IU Sept-Apr and 5.000 IU May-Aug (if You live above 42nd northern parallel). Lower dosage typically does not suffice. Also get a blood test every few years, 50-80 ng/ml is perfect, stay below 100 ng/ml.
Martin M, I live as far north as let’s say Minneapolis. I am on this exact D3 plan you described. It works for my spouse and I. Been doing this in conjunction with 2 table spoons of Lemon Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar daily. I, myself have been drinking more Green Tea, but just a couple of cups on most day’s. I feel so much better. We both have not been sick in 4 years. Absolutely no illnesses and we are in our mid 60’s.
What a refreshing breath of fresh air this doctor is! Haven’t been to a doctor in years, but if I was living where she practices, I would be calling for an appointment! Keep up the great work and vibrant personality! 👍❤️
Doc I love this video on vitamin D and it’s importance to our bodies immune system. I fell ill a while back with pneumonia and the flu. I quit smoking the day I went into the hospital and never looked back but even after a few years which included exercise I had episodes of my asthma that lasted days sometimes weeks. My doctor took blood and said my vitamin D was low. I live in Michigan so there’s that winter thing lol. Anyway I started taking vitamin D supplements and never stopped. I even felt good enough to get a scuba diving certification with the docs approval and hardly get a cold anymore. By the way it was 20 yrs ago I quit smoking.
Your personality so pleasing, and your videos are inspirational, I really appreciate all your efforts Dr.Sam :) God bless you, keep smiling :) by the way you are a gorgeous woman :)
Relatively new viewer. What I like/love MOST about your videos is the genuine, warm sense of humanity they convey, and the rare feeling [nowadays] of "Crikey ... I've stumbled upon someone with real integrity! ..... Thank you, God!"
What makes listening to your presentations so enjoyable is the form in which you package them, viz. (1) You speak in complete sentences (subject, verb, object) and never use improper grammatical constructions, and (2) You do not use that vexing, grating, ignorant, non-word, animal grunt "UHhhhhh" in your speech. You turn out nice work, Doc... stay with it ! Pennsylvania in the USA likes Doc Sam☺
What I like about your videos, is your prefrotnal cortex utilization. You are not attention seeking, nor over dramatic, which is probably the more laid back New Zealand influence, and you are very thorough and informative. Sometimes in nutrition, in the US, people will only talk about one thing and they will continually plaster it over and over again. You do an excellent job in covering the most current research and it is very much appreciated. It is important for people that get less sunlight, to take supplementation, and vitamin D helps to metabolize cholesterol as well, which is important. You definitely have a long term patron from me and the most important topic for us to learn is nutrition. Thanks for all your efforts.
On advice I started taking zinc and vitamin D late last autumn. I have had a heavy cold EVERY year in Jan/Feb for at least 12 years ! This year I had no cold symptoms whatsoever. I will continue to take the correct amounts in future without fail. Thanks Dr. Sam.
I had bad sciatica and back pains early last year. Drs (tried 3) had me on strong pain killers (side effects) for months, talk of thyroid meds, maybe surgery. Tried chiropractor. My husband, a retired engineer, got hold of my many blood tests and xray report. Spent a day on pubmed and then told me I needed some Vitamin D3, K2, magnesium and some turmeric for the inflammation. 3 weeks later I was well and improved every day since. Oddly, didn't get a cold last year. First time ever.
Excellent information and presented in a very credible way (ie: no affiliate links to places where you can buy supplements in the description). At last, some ethics on RUclips!
If you think it is unethical to get paid it's why you are poor. If people create value and are not paid for it then starvation and massive poverty are the only results possible.
Thanks for the information. It's a beautiful sunny day so I am going out and catching that sunshine. You are blessed with THE most Kiwi accent I have ever heard! Love it!
Hi Dr. Sam, Thank you for your very informative videos. They are really helpful and I enjoy them very much. I have one quick question, have you done a video that lists all of the blood tests (for general health and vitamins) one would should consider completing before their annual physicals with their doctors? Thank you!
I really love your joy in talking about Vitamin D. It’s funny too with clips in between. I may share with school kids in Texas, USA. Thank you so much!
I don't usually like going to any doctor mainly because I believe in how God created our bodies to work, am not saying we shouldn't. Dr Sam is one of a kind, keep it up doc and thank you so much for all the info you pass on , may God bless you :)
Dr. Sam Bailey me and my co-workers, medics and doctors think you ate not only cool to listen to with your accent and brains bit your beauty and well!! ❤🤗
Medical advice delivered in the most charming way. Not since my late wife, also a Dr, (she died from MND), patiently advised me, have I felt the honesty and caring so eloquently put. Thank you Dr Sam.
Enjoyed the video. Factual and well presented. I'm a physician in Canada and have been recommending VitD for decades. Makes a huge difference in preventive medicine. Look into Vitamin C also....a lot of information on this. (My background before medicine was genetics....need for VitC is due to a genetic defect in humans....and only 4 other species...all other species make it in liver and it is up regulated in disease states. It's as important as VitC.) Keep up your good work. Cheers.
Dr. Sam Bailey - I am so impressed with your RUclips page; so informative and congenial and able to deliver information in a very calm and pleasing manner - I am a new subscriber from the US!! So refreshing how you handle your topics - thank you!!
I live in Scotland so we don't get that much sun, plenty cloud and rain though but recently I have started taking a supplement Vit D 4000iu,plus Vit K2 100ug, I am aged 78, I believe it's advisable to Vit K at the same time something to do with the Calcium levels.🤔
My son is a doctor who deals with hormone issues with his patients and vitamin D is his BIGGEST problem and we live in southern NM. His next biggest issue with his elderly patients is low DHEA hormone levels. Look it up, but taking 25mg a day makes a huge difference in how you feel.
Hello Dr. Sam, Thank you very much for making all of your very informative videos. I love your channel because of the straight facts concerning health maintenance . I agree with your opinion concerning the covid video, its just plain common sense. Please continue making your videos as I'm learning new health facts with each one. You are a ray of sunshine in the health community. Many thanks, Fred, Hamilton Ontario Canada .
This is the first time I have watched this video and it is excellent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I live in Canada and lately due to Covid 19 scare, there is a push to take Vitamin D and Zinc. Now I understand a bit about Vitamin D3. Dr. Sam, I would be very thankful if your could do a video like this for Zinc. Thank you.
Great video. I think a strong case can be made for everyone taking Vitamin D daily regardless of the season. Dr. JoAnn Manson recommends this. There has been a lot of compelling evidence about Vitamin D helping out with Covid-19 as well. My doctor recommended that I take 125mcg \ 5000 IU of D3 daily since I am deficient. How about a video about D3 and Covid-19? Keep up the vids as I just luv um!!!
You mentioned in one of your videos that you take zinc regularly. If you haven't already done a video on zinc (I couldn't find one when I looked earlier), I would love to hear your thoughts on what it does and why we might take a supplement.
Dr. Sam that was a great explanation of Vitamin D use and causes. I'm always outdoors (my battery charger) and do take a supplement. A thank you for your videos. Anyone with a sunshine deficiency has got to watch your videos because your smile is pure sunshine. Keep smiling it costs nothing but gives much!
Dr Sam. I started watching your very informative videos and immediately subscribed. Your format is excellent... presenting questions and then answering. Very informative, great topics, wonderful accent... I'm hooked. Your pleasant personality absorbs me into your topic which you cover with every detail. Please do a segment on mens issue with prostate and perhaps cover both invasive and non invasive treatments. I've heard of Resum and Eurolift but would love your perspective on this issue. Thank you!
Thanks Robert for the suggestion...I'm always interested to learn and hope to cover topics that are useful for people. Are you interested in benign prostatic hypertrophy in particular?
@@DrSamBailey Yes. At 59 this has started to be an issue, and although I am on meds to help flow I'm wondering about what the future might be, and various treatments.
Love your videos, they’re very informative!!! Love the breakdown on the various vitamins your body needs, and the the reaction to less or more needed in the body. Also, please cover more female hormone issues.
While having hormone therapy for stage 3 prostate cancer I began to always feel tired and developed deficiencies in vitamins D and B12. I was prescribed a daily dose of 1000UI of colecalciferol. I have a vitamin B12 injection every 12 weeks.
My son's dog consumed an entire package of 13 rodent killer tabs. We found out from the vet that the new style of rodenticide is not based on arsenic as we thought, but of concentrated Vitamin D. It has the effect of drawing Ca and Potassium from the bones and clogging the liver. The dog finally got straightened out but only after a long series of treatments and many $$'s. At the same time, I was taking Vit D supplements, suggested by my doctor. The dog's condition prompted me to look up Vit D overdose symptoms in humans and one is unexplained itching, which I had. I stopped the Vit D and the symptoms decreased by a lot. I have been since tested and have normal Vit D readings. So, I am not condemning taking Vit D supplements, but it has to be taken with caution.
I've had about 6 skin cancers cut out so I'd like to know more about how I can balance how much sunlight is safe for me! And I find the NZ sun burns me much faster than the Australian sun (well I am aware its the same sun but you know what I mean).
Hi Dr Sam, I have recently been reading about the benifit of berberine. I am at the moment taking metformin for what I call very borderline diabetes. I was wondering if there would be any benifit or down side to taking berberine along side the metformin. Many thanks, love your channel, very informative. All the best, Barry.
At one time a few years ago when I attended my wife's visit to her osteoporosis clinic because of my age the Dr suggested I increase from 1000 IU to 2000 IU year round even though I do spend a lot of time outdoors reading and getting lots of "rays" so both of us now take 2K IU year round. One pill in the AM and one at supper time. We do take a variety of other things too. We just have to recognize that at our ages, things don't function perhaps as we might like so just do what we can to live as well as we can on the downside of the curve. Yup, we are definitely flattening the curve.
My Doctor just advised me to begin taking Vitamin D. Your vlog really helped! I live in Florida but have your coloring so I have to be very careful in the sun.
we had to adapt as we moved north: the same pigment that protects from UV hinders vitamin D production - women with low vitamin D have a poorly formed pelvis and are less successful in child-bearing: this (over time) selects for whiter skin as you move north (better vitamin D production = better calcium absorption, more successful birth rate). other coping mechanisms: eating fish, red meat, mushrooms growing (or dried) in sunlight... nowadays we supplement dairy, but if you're a vegan and don't eat dairy, meat or fish...
Since most vitamin D capsules are sold in international unit (I.U.) doses, it would be helpful if you included the daily dose recommendations in that form, as well as the microgram unit of measurement. Assuming a broad interest in this video, thousands of viewers will have to find a microgram to I.U. converter, to find out how much D3 to take.
Dr.sam you are one of the most beautiful 😍inspiration for all people .good advice , always happy smile makes us feel good.thank you for having us dr.sam😍😍😍
I was low in Vitamin D so a practicioner advised me to take Vitamin D supplements. The synthetic Vit. D from oil of sheep wool gave met toxic reactions. So i deicded to take from oily fishes whole food sources.
I find it fascinating that "every cell" in our body needs D, but only requires a supplemental of less than a milligram a day, by a full order of magnitude, assuming you are deficient.
Dear Dr. I belief you are someone with an open mind and willing to accept alternative curing methods. 20 years back at 45, I started to develop prostate problems, all my doctors suggested surgery. In my ignorance I was afraid of surgery so found out that lowering of testosterone was linked to enlargement of the prostrate. So started doing squats to improved my testosterone, along with acupressure n massage - I managed to solve my very embarrassing prostate problem. Believe It or Not, I am now 65 n dont have any severe symptoms. What is your opinion?
I said this on another of your episode earlier today. My name is Victoria and Im a retired RN in the US. My daughter Samantha (just dx with Stage 1 Colon.Cancef) is am Epidemiologist, also lives in the US. Unfortunately, we live across the country someone another (she in Florida, myself in Ne Mexico). New Mexico has terrible health care (did not know when I moved here 4 yrs ago!!) So I was Especially Haptic to find your YT channel and book, which I have ordered for myself and my daughter to read. I live onSicial Security, so have little to share outside of rent n for. But I hope to support you in Al way possible. I know my daughter,Sam, will feel the same (she is anactive RN in Tennessee, so we are realtor spread out). Anywy, I cant say enough about how happy I am to have found you. Just wish I had moved to New Zealand when I considered it in the 1980's!!😅❤🎉
Hi Dr Bailey, I keep seeing info that Vit D should be accompanied with Vit k2 due to the fact that it helps the calcium be directed into the bones and teeth instead of the arteries. What’s your thoughts on this? I was diagnosed with low Vit D but am pensive on the subject. Thanks in advance 🌺🇨🇦
There are many videos by other doctors who teach on vitamin K. My personal thoughts are that it is important and something like Natto consumed weekly seems sufficient to help. My thought is taking it close to bedtime would be best because the regeneration of bone occurs when we sleep.
I have never met Dr. Bailey. I have however listened to several of her videos. So far I have not heard anything that I would remotely question so she has my 100% endorsement. Asst. Prof. David Earl-Graef MD ABIM ABNM FACP ( retired ) Keep up the good work Sam.
Agree 100%, Dr. S. Thanks! My favorite vitamin for the immune system keeps showing its stuff! Evidence that Vitamin D Supplementation Could Reduce Risk of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections and Deaths “Several observational studies and clinical trials reported that vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of influenza… Evidence supporting the role of vitamin D in reducing risk of COVID-19 includes that the outbreak occurred in winter, a time when 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations are lowest; that the number of cases in the Southern Hemisphere near the end of summer are low; that vitamin D deficiency has been found to contribute to acute respiratory distress syndrome; and that case-fatality rates increase with age and with chronic disease comorbidity, both of which are associated with lower 25(OH)D concentration. To reduce the risk of infection, [researchers] recommend that people at risk of influenza and/or COVID-19 consider taking 10,000 IU/daily of vitamin D3 for a few weeks to rapidly raise 25(OH)D concentrations, followed by 5000 IU/daily. The goal should be to raise 25(OH)D concentrations above 40-60 ng/mL (100-150 nmol/L). For treatment of people who become infected with COVID-19, higher vitamin D3 doses might be useful.” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7231123/ For your health: Lilly Bloom
Lovely presentation. As a teacher indoors l suspected l was D3 deficient and had my levels tested and was below 20 ngmol. After that l took supplements and have done for ten years. I too suggested to parents that they have the D3 levels of their darker skinned listless chikdren tested. Inevitably they were, as were light skinned kids to. The slip slop slap campaign also ensures kids during summer don't get enough D3 in the summer months. Studies have shown that kids in the US come back from summer camp because of the sunscreen, hat and long sleeves campaign. Many dermatolgists are vitamin D3 deficient it turns out, being the champions of the slip slop slap campaign. During covid l am on 3000 iu's daily.
What did you like most in this video? What would you like me to cover next? Let me know here 🙂
Dr. Sam Bailey Everything about this video is incredibly beautiful.

If people create value and are not paid for it then starvation and massive poverty are the only results possible.
@@illuminated2438 You're not very illuminated, are you ? What makes you think that xjet sees it as unethical to get paid for created value ?
Thanks for the information. It's a beautiful sunny day so I am going out and catching that sunshine. You are blessed with THE most Kiwi accent I have ever heard! Love it!
Hi Dr. Sam, Thank you for your very informative videos. They are really helpful and I enjoy them very much. I have one quick question, have you done a video that lists all of the blood tests (for general health and vitamins) one would should consider completing before their annual physicals with their doctors? Thank you!
Never had I ever had a teacher or doctor such as Dr. Sam. Such a lovely charismatic darling with a lot of awesome information to provide.
Us blokes fancying on d good doc a bit too much methinks!
I really love your joy in talking about Vitamin D. It’s funny too with clips in between.
I may share with school kids in Texas, USA. Thank you so much!
Dr Sam you are very great at informing people.
I don't usually like going to any doctor mainly because I believe in how God created our bodies to work, am not saying we shouldn't. Dr Sam is one of a kind, keep it up doc and thank you so much for all the info you pass on , may God bless you :)
Dr. Sam Bailey me and my co-workers, medics and doctors think you ate not only cool to listen to with your accent and brains bit your beauty and well!! ❤🤗
Careful Doctory flattery can sow the seeds of destruction but I am sure you have more sense than that.
Dr Sam, I must admit I love watching you smile through the entire video, you have insightful information and a very nice way about you.
Medical advice delivered in the most charming way. Not since my late wife, also a Dr, (she died from MND), patiently advised me, have I felt the honesty and caring so eloquently put. Thank you Dr Sam.
Enjoyed the video. Factual and well presented. I'm a physician in Canada and have been recommending VitD for decades. Makes a huge difference in preventive medicine. Look into Vitamin C also....a lot of information on this. (My background before medicine was genetics....need for VitC is due to a genetic defect in humans....and only 4 other species...all other species make it in liver and it is up regulated in disease states. It's as important as VitC.) Keep up your good work. Cheers.
Most beautiful intelligent kind hearted Doctor her husband is blessed!
Thanks Doc, I give my Mother vitamin D tablets twice a day and she’s almost 94!
What a gem and wellspring of helpful information and a good sense of humor.
Very usual Sam..... Also, totally adore your accent😄😄😄
Dr. Sam Bailey - I am so impressed with your RUclips page; so informative and congenial and able to deliver information in a very calm and pleasing manner - I am a new subscriber from the US!! So refreshing how you handle your topics - thank you!!
I live in Scotland so we don't get that much sun,
plenty cloud and rain though but recently I have
started taking a supplement Vit D 4000iu,plus
Vit K2 100ug, I am aged 78, I believe it's advisable
to Vit K at the same time something to do with
the Calcium levels.🤔
My son is a doctor who deals with hormone issues with his patients and vitamin D is his BIGGEST problem and we live in southern NM. His next biggest issue with his elderly patients is low DHEA hormone levels. Look it up, but taking 25mg a day makes a huge difference in how you feel.
Hello Dr. Sam,
Thank you very much for making all of your very informative videos.
I love your channel because of the straight facts concerning health maintenance .
I agree with your opinion concerning the covid video, its just plain common sense.
Please continue making your videos as I'm learning new health facts with each one.
You are a ray of sunshine in the health community.
Many thanks, Fred, Hamilton Ontario Canada .
Not only your tips are clear and beautifully explained. As a bonus love your accent and your smile.
This is the first time I have watched this video and it is excellent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I live in Canada and lately due to Covid 19 scare, there is a push to take Vitamin D and Zinc. Now I understand a bit about Vitamin D3. Dr. Sam, I would be very thankful if your could do a video like this for Zinc. Thank you.
God Bless Everybody!Amen!
Great video. Thanks. My symptoms were recurrent sore throats. My Dr ordered a blood test and I was
Great video. I think a strong case can be made for everyone taking Vitamin D daily regardless of the season. Dr. JoAnn Manson recommends this. There has been a lot of compelling evidence about Vitamin D helping out with Covid-19 as well. My doctor recommended that I take 125mcg \ 5000 IU of D3 daily since I am deficient. How about a video about D3 and Covid-19? Keep up the vids as I just luv um!!!
You are AWESOME doc!!!!
You look like an angel!!!😍
God Bless!Amen!
Too much lockdown I think. People are just plain lonely.
Women like her are very rare to find.so sweet and smart.god bless her.
Extreme clarity as always Dr Sam. Thank you!
What a great service!!! Being the most beautiful Doctor in the world, is Icing on the cake!!!
You mentioned in one of your videos that you take zinc regularly. If you haven't already done a video on zinc (I couldn't find one when I looked earlier), I would love to hear your thoughts on what it does and why we might take a supplement.
Good to see you back. You are always so informative and wonderful!
Thank you Dr Sam for your informative videos. Would love you to do a video on zinc and magnesium and which are the best ones to take.
Dr. Sam that was a great explanation of Vitamin D use and causes. I'm always outdoors (my battery charger) and do take a supplement. A thank you for your videos. Anyone with a sunshine deficiency has got to watch your videos because your smile is pure sunshine. Keep smiling it costs nothing but gives much!
Excellent! That's very kind of you Scott ☀
I'm from Brazil, I don't speak english but I understand her smile(I'm using google translator).
Thank you for your great videos dr Sam! So nice to have a doctor like you in NZ! Don’t let the ‘censorship’ stop you being so brave 😉😊
Dr Sam. I started watching your very informative videos and immediately subscribed. Your format is excellent... presenting questions and then answering. Very informative, great topics, wonderful accent... I'm hooked. Your pleasant personality absorbs me into your topic which you cover with every detail. Please do a segment on mens issue with prostate and perhaps cover both invasive and non invasive treatments. I've heard of Resum and Eurolift but would love your perspective on this issue. Thank you!
Thanks Robert for the suggestion...I'm always interested to learn and hope to cover topics that are useful for people.
Are you interested in benign prostatic hypertrophy in particular?
@@DrSamBailey Yes. At 59 this has started to be an issue, and although I am on meds to help flow I'm wondering about what the future might be, and various treatments.
Ok, thank you...I will be making something on this for you :)
@@DrSamBailey Thank you Dr Bailey. You are wonderful, and I look forward to it. Be safe and healthy!
Information is thorough and very informative. I love the movie inserts. Keeps me hooked. Thank you!
I love listening to your medical advice, but your accent makes it even more pleasant...
thits rite meet
Pill, sun, or watching and listening to you is just the right dosage! 😊
Thank you Dr Sam. Love you take care and God Bless.
Same to you!
You are amazing Dr. Sam Bailey!
What a beautiful person you are. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research with us. 🌹☺️
Wow, thank you Edward.
You are a breath of fresh air full of sunshine! Thank you Dr. Sam!!!
Love your videos, they’re very informative!!! Love the breakdown on the various vitamins your body needs, and the the reaction to less or more needed in the body. Also, please cover more female hormone issues.
Ok, thanks for your suggestion Becca M :)
While having hormone therapy for stage 3 prostate cancer I began to always feel tired and developed deficiencies in vitamins D and B12. I was prescribed a daily dose of 1000UI of colecalciferol. I have a vitamin B12 injection every 12 weeks.
My son's dog consumed an entire package of 13 rodent killer tabs. We found out from the vet that the new style of rodenticide is not based on arsenic as we thought, but of concentrated Vitamin D. It has the effect of drawing Ca and Potassium from the bones and clogging the liver. The dog finally got straightened out but only after a long series of treatments and many $$'s.
At the same time, I was taking Vit D supplements, suggested by my doctor. The dog's condition prompted me to look up Vit D overdose symptoms in humans and one is unexplained itching, which I had. I stopped the Vit D and the symptoms decreased by a lot. I have been since tested and have normal Vit D readings.
So, I am not condemning taking Vit D supplements, but it has to be taken with caution.
awesome video Doctor Sam
I've had about 6 skin cancers cut out so I'd like to know more about how I can balance how much sunlight is safe for me! And I find the NZ sun burns me much faster than the Australian sun (well I am aware its the same sun but you know what I mean).
Look up Niacinamide
My testosterone level quadrupled after this video! Any suggestions doc?
Thank you for your informative talks, beautifully articulated !! How about something on telmisartan, which I am taking for hypertension.
This channel is great. Glad I stumbled on it.
Hi Dr Sam, I have recently been reading about the benifit of berberine. I am at the moment taking metformin for what I call very borderline diabetes. I was wondering if there would be any benifit or down side to taking berberine along side the metformin. Many thanks, love your channel, very informative. All the best, Barry.
I live in the UK and i wish you were my GP You seem so sincere 👍
At one time a few years ago when I attended my wife's visit to her osteoporosis clinic because of my age the Dr suggested I increase from 1000 IU to 2000 IU year round even though I do spend a lot of time outdoors reading and getting lots of "rays" so both of us now take 2K IU year round. One pill in the AM and one at supper time. We do take a variety of other things too. We just have to recognize that at our ages, things don't function perhaps as we might like so just do what we can to live as well as we can on the downside of the curve. Yup, we are definitely flattening the curve.
I would love her to be my Doctor. What a personality and smile . New Zealand here I come !!!
My Doctor just advised me to begin taking Vitamin D. Your vlog really helped!
I live in Florida but have your coloring so I have to be very careful in the sun.
Glad it was helpful!
Dr. Sam, you bring sunshine into my life...
That's why we always had 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil before bed ! Special in the winters in Holland . Thank you dr sam keep up the good work 🤗👍
we had to adapt as we moved north: the same pigment that protects from UV hinders vitamin D production - women with low vitamin D have a poorly formed pelvis and are less successful in child-bearing: this (over time) selects for whiter skin as you move north (better vitamin D production = better calcium absorption, more successful birth rate). other coping mechanisms: eating fish, red meat, mushrooms growing (or dried) in sunlight... nowadays we supplement dairy, but if you're a vegan and don't eat dairy, meat or fish...
Dr Sam, you are gold.
Since most vitamin D capsules are sold in international unit (I.U.) doses, it would be helpful if you included the daily dose recommendations in that form, as well as the microgram unit of measurement. Assuming a broad interest in this video, thousands of viewers will have to find a microgram to I.U. converter, to find out how much D3 to take.
Yes exactly
The primary reason I enjoy your channel is your honesty. Secondary is your contagious smile. Thank you.
Dr.sam you are one of the most beautiful 😍inspiration for all people .good advice , always happy smile makes us feel good.thank you for having us dr.sam😍😍😍
So nice of you
WOW a doctor who speaks english, although with a funny accent, to us not so well versed in medicine. Thanks you make learning easy and pleasant.
I was low in Vitamin D so a practicioner advised me to take Vitamin D supplements. The synthetic Vit. D from oil of sheep wool gave met toxic reactions. So i deicded to take from oily fishes whole food sources.
Keep up the good work
Best wishes Dr Sam Bailey.
watching All Video .
I find it fascinating that "every cell" in our body needs D, but only requires a supplemental of less than a milligram a day, by a full order of magnitude, assuming you are deficient.
The body is extremely efficient.
It acts like a hormone, doing signalling work and getting other metabolic functions to work as they should.
Dear Dr.
I belief you are someone with an open mind and willing to accept alternative curing methods. 20 years back at 45, I started to develop prostate problems, all my doctors suggested surgery. In my ignorance I was afraid of surgery so found out that lowering of testosterone was linked to enlargement of the prostrate. So started doing squats to improved my testosterone, along with acupressure n massage - I managed to solve my very embarrassing prostate problem. Believe It or Not, I am now 65 n dont have any severe symptoms. What is your opinion?
New Zealand seems like a wonderful place...
What the whole country because of Dr Sam?
She looks a lot like my co worker,and I had a crush on both. Lol.....
I said this on another of your episode earlier today. My name is Victoria and Im a retired RN in the US. My daughter Samantha (just dx with Stage 1 Colon.Cancef) is am Epidemiologist, also lives in the US. Unfortunately, we live across the country someone another (she in Florida, myself in Ne Mexico). New Mexico has terrible health care (did not know when I moved here 4 yrs ago!!)
So I was Especially Haptic to find your YT channel and book, which I have ordered for myself and my daughter to read. I live onSicial Security, so have little to share outside of rent n for. But I hope to support you in Al way possible. I know my daughter,Sam, will feel the same (she is anactive RN in Tennessee, so we are realtor spread out).
Anywy, I cant say enough about how happy I am to have found you. Just wish I had moved to New Zealand when I considered it in the 1980's!!😅❤🎉
Hi This is Dr Lopamudra from India.Honestly like your deliberation and content.keep up your good work
Thank you @Dr Lopamudra Ghosh - I really appreciate your feedback!
Great video.I also like Dr. Syra Madad ( Pandemic Netflix ) and Michael Osterholm
Thank you for the information. Clear and concise.
Hi Dr Bailey, I keep seeing info that Vit D should be accompanied with Vit k2 due to the fact that it helps the calcium be directed into the bones and teeth instead of the arteries. What’s your thoughts on this? I was diagnosed with low Vit D but am pensive on the subject. Thanks in advance 🌺🇨🇦
There are many videos by other doctors who teach on vitamin K. My personal thoughts are that it is important and something like Natto consumed weekly seems sufficient to help. My thought is taking it close to bedtime would be best because the regeneration of bone occurs when we sleep.
Very helpful indeed. Thanks Dr.Sam..
Good talk as always. I would appreciate it if you could express the vitamin D3 in IU or list the conversion factor as well as mcg. thank you
Thank you! I have done this now :)
I have never met Dr. Bailey. I have however listened to several of her videos. So far I have not heard anything that I would remotely question so she has my 100% endorsement. Asst. Prof. David Earl-Graef MD ABIM ABNM FACP ( retired ) Keep up the good work Sam.
To be a naysayer, she does label a little anecdote of her taking vitamin D over the winter as an "experiment" (though that's being pedantic).
Agree 100%, Dr. S. Thanks!
My favorite vitamin for the immune system keeps showing its stuff!
Evidence that Vitamin D Supplementation Could Reduce Risk of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections and Deaths
“Several observational studies and clinical trials reported that vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of influenza… Evidence supporting the role of vitamin D in reducing risk of COVID-19 includes that the outbreak occurred in winter, a time when 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations are lowest; that the number of cases in the Southern Hemisphere near the end of summer are low; that vitamin D deficiency has been found to contribute to acute respiratory distress syndrome; and that case-fatality rates increase with age and with chronic disease comorbidity, both of which are associated with lower 25(OH)D concentration. To reduce the risk of infection, [researchers] recommend that people at risk of influenza and/or COVID-19 consider taking 10,000 IU/daily of vitamin D3 for a few weeks to rapidly raise 25(OH)D concentrations, followed by 5000 IU/daily. The goal should be to raise 25(OH)D concentrations above 40-60 ng/mL (100-150 nmol/L). For treatment of people who become infected with COVID-19, higher vitamin D3 doses might be useful.”

I like your Medical info videos. Could you address low Potassium problems. Thanks, and God Bless.
thanks to dr. shiva ayyadurai who started the explanation of vitamin D importance to our immune system to fight covid virus
Dr Sam you are an Angel. Keep up the great work.God bles you.
What is your take on sunscreen lotions that is made with those harmful chemicals? And which one do you recommend?
Sunscreen will block the vitamin D3 from the sun. I would say if you have light skin dont get so much sun you get sunburned, only half the time .
Lovely presentation. As a teacher indoors l suspected l was D3 deficient and had my levels tested and was below 20 ngmol. After that l took supplements and have done for ten years. I too suggested to parents that they have the D3 levels of their darker skinned listless chikdren tested. Inevitably they were, as were light skinned kids to. The slip slop slap campaign also ensures kids during summer don't get enough D3 in the summer months. Studies have shown that kids in the US come back from summer camp because of the sunscreen, hat and long sleeves campaign. Many dermatolgists are vitamin D3 deficient it turns out, being the champions of the slip slop slap campaign. During covid l am on 3000 iu's daily.
