I had my yearly checkup in June. It went as it typically does until we got to the blood work. My doctor was telling me the blood work she was ordering and she had not mentioned vitamin D. I asked her why we were not checking my vitamin D levels and she said they don't. If they checked it at some point previously (prior years) and the patient was deficient they would have been told to take it and if they took it their numbers would be better, if they didn't it would not. No need to check it. I said 'Isn't there a relationship between a person's vitamin D levels and how bad COVID-19 does you?' She said yes. So during a pandemic that has killed a number of people why wouldn't doctors as a practice check for a deficiency in their patients that could potentially save them if they get COVID-19? That does not make sense to me. This pandemic has opened my eyes about the healthcare industry.
Hello, I agree there may be some benefit from screening more people for vitamin d deficiency, however I'm not a doctor she don't pretend to be one. If you have no signs or symptoms of vitamin d deficiency, why would you expect your Dr to check? Similarly, in this video it's suggested vitamin K2 plays a potentially major role in cardiovascular diseases, yet I don't hear you calling for everyone to be screened for vitamin K2 deficiencies despite heart disease being a leading cause of death in the United States. I could go on and on like this. It's just not realistic to screen everyone for everything, especially if there is no indication in the patient to do so. Also, adding more tests = more cost and then everyone would be crying that doctors are just ordering inappropriate tests so they can benefit financially. See? There are many perspectives to issues, we just need to explore them a little. And I'm by no means saying you're wrong or that all Doctors are good at their job. It's just a bit more complex than you may realize
@@joe1071 I was seriously low on vitamin D so did not know anything was wrong until my blood test had revealed that it was so slow . I suggest everybody take a vitamin D supplement especially if they get little or no sunshine . I take less now ..so I take Vit D 3 ,3,000 iu per day now my levels have increased to a healthier level .
Doctors are employees just like their clerical office staff. To maintain employment, they must do as they are directed, whether they agree or not. Older doctors with nothing to lose are more likely to tell you the truth. Younger doctors with high student loan balances to pay are going to follow company policies to keep their jobs.
I’d lived in Chicago for years, always low Vitamin D levels. Moved south, but levels didn’t rise much, though I was taking about 2000 in/day sporadically. Doc told me this was plenty. Because of these videos, I began taking D religiously. After about 3 months of this, I realized I was sleeping really well and much less depression. Doc confirmed normal range. When I went to get new supply, I realized I’d actually been taking 10,000 iu/day! That’s the dose it took, but no doc had taken me seriously. Thanks to these videos encouraging us to keep up levels!
@@skolvikings5263 Christa L you are right. Actually 4000 IU is the safe and effective dose. I just had a friend that was taking too much and her Dr. warned her you can take too much.
I am seeing reports that individuals with a level of vitamin D in the blood of 50 ng per ml, or more, by a large margin, are not hospitalized with COVID. What is your blood level? I am taking 10,000 IU a day and have a level of about 60 ng per ml having a BMI of about 3.5 at 72 inches height, it takes more for me to keep that level in my blood.,,,,,,,,,, My 60 ng per ml of blood is equivilent to 150 nmol/L.
Just an update, in 2009 I was living in MA - USA, my levels of D3 were nonexistent and every winter I got the flu and whooping cough, my doctor put me on D3 and I have not been sick since. I also added K and Zinc to my daily consumption. I live in a retirement community now in Florida and many folks around me did get COVID and many were hospitalized and some died, I did not get sick and I was exposed to many who did get this flu. I recommend D3, K and zinc to all my friends and some are now doing this as well.
Speak with your doctor. Zinc is great for colds, flus and allergies. But not to be taken daily as it has effects on other elements like copper and iron. Use wisely, when needed.
His lecture on the heart philology is brilliant. Having had an aortic valve replacement 35 years and tried to understand the working of the heart. He’s the only lecturer that give clarity! Clarity ! Clarity, genius!
I'm a retired RN & this video was a TOTAL TREAT, SO WELL DONE & SPOT ON. Our DO recommended Super K (Vit K1 & Vit K2) & Vit D3. I've felt great & stayed very healthy taking both. I also do regular IF, + I eat a high HEALTHY FAT, moderate protein, & VERY low CHO diet.
This man is a national treasure. This whole channel needs to be archived and immortalized. John, I encourage you to ask your followers to do this. It’s possible for someone to make a website and download and transfer all of your videos to an independent website so we don’t lose all of this invaluable information. :)
He's not a 'national treasure' he's an anti-vaxxer nurse who touts himself as a medical doctor to lend validity to the flimsy premises on which he bases the misinformation he disseminates.
I went to my GP with extreme exhaustion, anger issues, up and down in emotion, and feeling borderline depressed. I thought it was baby blues or postpartum depression, but she checked my blood for vitamin d and said my numbers were through the floor. Prescribed me 50,000 IUs/week for 3 months and it was life changing! From the first 30 mins I took the first pill I felt instantly better. No more falling asleep behind the wheel (literary, I had to pull over the road to sleep smh). My previous doctor had given me anti depressants without checking for vitamin D. I wish docs would check for Vit D before prescribing anti-depressants.
"Do not check the levels of vit D until you have symptons telling you to do so"....kkkkkkk. this is criminal!!!! Who wrote this should be arrested by commiting crime against humanity!!!!!
Thanks for sharing. Fatigue is a well known side effect of low vitamin d, almost catatonic fatigue. I have autoimmune condition and when they checked mine it was 17, I was also almost catatonic sleeping 20 hours a day couldn't stop sleeping. Was given 100,000 IU to begin with and then 20,000 each month for a few months. I couldn't believe it as I had been taking a supplement of 500 every second day for years as living in Scotland we don't get a lot of sun. I have learnt a lot from Dr Campbell about vitamin d, although prescribed 1000 a day I currently take 6000, but recently increased to 10,000iu for a short period . It's made a huge difference even loose teeth have become strong and not loose any longer. Swelling of feet gone down to normal and my nails have never been in better condition, all in a few months. He said there are vitamin d receptors everywhere in body and yes I know he's right.
A very important topic came up here. Probably far more important for people to understand than Vitamin D. The notion that Saturated fat/ cholesterol causes heart/arterial disease has lead to catastrophic decline in human health. We have been told to reduce sat fat and red meat in the diet, and replace it with processed grains and industrial fats refined from otherwise inedible seeds, soybeans and such. The result is a diet low in protein, high in processed carbohydrate, and sky high in omega 6 fatty acids. Those guidelines havent worked out well. There is you causation for diabetes, heart disease, obesity, weak immune systems, many cancers, and more. Eat whole foods people. I didnt say whole grains did I? No, and I didnt say go plant based either. That is all highly profitable crap. Optimal for me is something like Beef butter, eggs,
which "inedible" seeds? I eat sunflower seeds regularly. The diet cholesterol myth has been corrected. As is usually the case with the process of science. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9794145/pdf/coedo-30-65.pdf
I have to applaude this one more than others John. Bravo mate. You've reduced mortality by massive amounts if just 1% of your subscribers takes action on what they've learnt from you. Awesome!
@@kathystorer8831 same here. I evangelise the benefits of vitamin d3 and k2 but they either don’t want to know or don’t care. It’s mostly because I’m not a TV doctor getting paid a fortune by the pharmaceutical companies.
Understand it is to the advantage of big pharmaceutical companies that doctor's don't regulate the vitamin D3 and potassium levels because it will make many so call life long customers disappear,Simply because high blood pressure will be no more alone with many other health issues.Cure isn't your doctor's job treatment makes his life style possible.
Hi Doctor Campbell, am pleased to inform you that I have watched your videos on pharmacology and physiology and I have passed all my written exams for my nursing course. Thanks very much sir for your teaching videos.
What I've learnt is that Vitamin K2 helps removes calcium in the soft tissues and puts it into the bones. While you are taking vitamin D your calcium absorption is increased by 20x so making sure that you reduce your calcium (dairy) intake, at the same time make sure that you are taking 100mcg of K2 per 10,000iu of Vitamin D, drink 2 litres of water a day to reduce the formation of kidney stones and take Vitamin D with a Fat, either a fatty meal or I take it with a high strength Omega 3 and fish oil tablet as Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is absorbed better with healthy fats.
Daniel yes you are. correct for the most part but Australia and New Zealand are one the biggest consumers of milk dairy and have the highest esteoperosis?..milk particularly a poor choice of calcium Secondly we have to stop saying drink plenty of water 2 litres per day not correct.... it's half your body weight (pounds) in ounces Important specific for every ones body weight that's the best measure
@@jamesyoung1012 when I mention dairy I mean all dairy including cheese and I mention drinking water to reduce the risk of creating kidney stones with too much calcium in the blood. You don't want to drink alot of water especially flushing out your electrolytes and not replacing them.
10000 is big amount.If you haven't problems as cancer this amount it not needed. If you have tested your blood serum bigger amounts of 5000 are not needed but resolving absorption problem....fish oil or animal fat is needed for dissolution and absorption and if there is gut problem lgg probiotic will solve this. In one year on 5000 iu you can gain 100+ of d3 in the blood serum from the base amount. There are different pathways for vit D from food and from sun. From food it is not absorbed in the fat tissue as is with from sun. If there are patology k2 for 4-5000 of D3 should be 300 basically because extra calcium in the blood from d3.100 is just maintenance dosage for 1000 d3.
Taking Vit D & K has completely changed my health for the better. Rarely to never sick, sleep well and hormones are much more balanced. Best insider advice I ever got working in the surgical field for 15+ yrs. Plus Iodine and it's a game changer! Thank you so much Kind Sir, for you are much appreciated, cherished and respected!
Again and again I so grateful to John for sharing his clarity of thoughts and his knowledge with a wider public. I cannot imagine how at the age of 88 I would have been able to keep informed and moreover learn painlessly about drugs and the pandemic, bearing in mind my native tongue is not English as well. A great teacher you are Sir, thank you. Jean Lemagnen
I take 5000u of D3 and 800mcg of K2. Doing so for 2 years absolutely no problems. Mainly because it is a combo dose put out by Piping Rock. Havent had the flu for 5 years or been to the dentist for same time. Bone density at 100% at age 79. Still work in busy surgical ward in a hospital.
This is the best information on vitamin D &K2 I have ever heard. Not even my Dr. could touch on these concepts. Thanks, Dr. John for all you do to help keep us informed. It’s extremely valuable & appreciated!💫
I’m so admiring of the way you explain so many complex issues in such a clear easily understood manner John. Have recommended you to many. Much gratitude to you, you’re providing such an incredible service for us all. 🙏🏼
Love that you guve your citations and say “don’t take my word for it” (among similar expressions). Also that Dr Campbell never condescends to his audience and recognizes it’s very diverse by now (perhaps always has been). He is closely followed by physicians, nutritionists, nurses and lay persons with string interests on science and aplied science (eg clinical practice). Such a great balance achieved on all counts I can contemplate. Kudos.
Thank you dr Campbell, I must say Im 68 years of age... I have had some peripheral neuropathy in the soles of my feet and the cool draft feeling on my calves for a few years, my blood sugar is fine, I eat very little sugar... I started supplementing with K2(mk7), D3 and magnesium four months ago...I now suffer very little cold draft feeling over my calves and have regained about 50% of feeling back in the soles of my feet so far
I'm 67 in similar condition with optimism, I use the soles of my feet to strip my Razer when shaving in the 🚿(push away on the rough skin like a barber polishes the edge on the leather strap hanging from the chair). I can keep a blade super sharp all month or more. I also go out back in birthday suit to get natural vitamin D ( 20,000 units) btw 11am& 2p.m. When Sun is strong. I can tell it's working as I start breathing deeper in 5 minutes tues or so.
@@valeriebrewer5669cause only most of German doctors know How effective of Vitamin K2/D3 + Omega 3 combinations. There is few little doctors even in the US know this shit or simply ignore it.
I take 4000 units of vitamin D. My Dr always includes a check of my Vitamin D levels in my bloodwork because a few years ago I was deficient. Thank you for your very informative videos. I learn so much from them. I’m a 78 yo woman trying to stay as healthy as my family elders who died in their 90’s and 100’s. It’s never to late to learn!
Interesting that a researcher at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver Canada won a Nobel prize in studies of vitamin K2 Mk4 and Mk7, a number of years ago, only to be mostly ignored.
Vitamin D3 is more than a required nutrient; it fits the definition of a hormone. It is an anti-inflammatory agent and appears to protect us from viral pulmonary infections. K2 helps coronary circulation.
Considering that 'Vitamin' C is biosynthesized by many living creatures, though some including Humans cannot - although it looks as if we once could, I think we could enter the same debacle that Pauling - and onwards - have been going through and the neverending cycle of the repeated meme, "but . . more evidence is needed". I am reminded of a line by the Indiana poet George Kalamaras. "And so, their ascetic monk mouths have fractured me . . And so, the world is unsolved like a beautiful table"
Thanks for mentioning autoimmune diseases. I have subclinical Hashimotos (discourages me from getting vaxxed, I feel vulnerable to extra/ unresearched disturbances of my immune system) and your vid has led me to find out more quality research on the link between Vit D and autoimmune issues.It seems clear from numerous articles that Vit D supplementation, as well as some elements, are highly advised. Not one doctor in 20 years has mentioned it.
I have two autoimmune diseases, plus adrenal fatigue, I've avoided the vaccine as long as possible, this summer I went to see an integrated dr, i told them today I'm getting the Pfizer shot Friday, they want me to get an ozone iv and vitamin c iv, go get the vaccine come back and use the hyperbaric chamber for a couple hours, 😷😷
@MR PEEMP you want to replace my income for me?, things have gotten much better for over the last 4 months dealing with my integrated dr, but still need an income
@@rickspalding3047 Since you are among the lucky few that have hyperbaric oxygen available (HBO) you don't have much to worry about. If you get the Covid, the HBO will get rid of it easily and quickly, probably also including freedom from the peculiar long term effects. I hope you are doing whatever you can to spread the word about that :-)
Dr Campbell. Last year after watching your video on K2 I started ordering 100mcg capsules MK7. My partner (we are 73) who takes a vegan bone strength with 60mcg of K2 and started supplementing her K2 with an additional capule, in total 160 mcg per day. Years ago she had a dexa scan for bone loss and was down in many areas but her lates last week her spine had increased density over 8% and although herhip was down 2%. Her doctor was amazed. She did not disclose her K2 intake. This is not a study just an observation.

Thank you Dr. John. My son got COVID and because of your videos we have been taking our vitamin D with zinc and turmeric. He only got a cold and felt fine.

Hello from Poland! We eat a lot of sauerkraut. Especially as a side dish. Let me give you recepie for it. Sauerkraut about 200 grams drained from the juice and choped. Half of onion chopped, 1 carrot shreaded, 1-2 tbs. Of olive, black pepper and bit of sugar. You can drink the juice from the kraut seperatly its a natural isotonic ,very healthy contains lots of vitamins. The only important thing is that the sauerkraut has to be fermented naturalny without vinegar. Sometimes producent put vinegar to speed up the process od fermentation. Its NOT good. Read carefully labeles or go to polish shop. We also have fermented cucambers but again those healthy are without vinegar. Uff sorry for such elaborated entry. 😉
I live in the catchment area of Mid Essex NHS, my doctor checked my Vitamin D levels during a routine blood screening. I didn’t have any symptoms nor did I ask for it to be checked. Keep up the good work John, love all your videos.
Having been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2015 I have been actively researching non invasive treatment strategies. Vit K2/D3 came up many times and I use an oral spray with both daily as well as including fermented foods, eggs and grass fed animal milk cheeses in my diet. I make my own kimchis, very easy using seasonal foods. Keep up your great work Dr John.
You would only be taking high dosages of D3 when supervised by your Dr. (who is not trained in nutrition, so has no idea). Any time I have spoken to Drs about supplements they have no idea.
Mines a PhD in biochemistry-he knows his stuff! Turns out I have a liver deficiency that prevents my being able to make vitamin D from sunlight. He knew exactly how to get my levels where they need to be- 50,000 once per week with twice the daily RDA of methylfolate, daily. It works for my DNA issue, which approximately 10% of the general population has. Both I & my husband carry this gene, as well as our son, who we had tested, first.
Not medical doctor has any idea about how the body works and what it needs . They're like a bad engineer working on a boiler . Leaves you leaking patches you up gives you an inhibitor that you didnt need . And says you'll be fine in a few days. Only making matters worse to feed the drug industry money .
I’ve been taking D + K2 with cardiologist for 4 yes, my doctor Rh doc was surprised to see my osteopenia improved. I also lifted weights. She said I don’t know what you’re doing but keep doing it. 👍🏻
@@alphonsodurden6294 usp tested Designs for Health. $$ also Dr Sinatra’s which is $$. Apparently The Vitamin Shoppe tests their house brands to be sure they are getting what they paid for. So I’m trying that for convenience. Nature Made is USP tested but they don’t have the combo with K2. I don’t know enough to buy separately and have it be accurate.
I'm a 77 yr old male located in the USA. 2 years ago, I was told two of my heart's arteries were 85% clogged and the third was 65% plugged and they were evenly plugged all the way down to the capillaries. The cardiologist installed 3 stents, one in two of the arteries main branch and one in a branch artery of the 85% plugged arteries. I have been feeling angina pains with not much activity. I started taking Vitamin K2 about a month ago. Within 2 weeks I felt much less angina pains with activity. So, I'm a believer in Vitamin K2 for heart patients. The brand I take is Doctor's Best. Whether it's the best brand to take or not I do not know but I'm convinced it is helping my plugged arteries. Thank you for your video.
@@francescag6889 I don't take Vitamin D. I do get some in my multi-vitamin that I take daily at noon after lunch and I take Vitamin K2 in the morning after breakfast.
@Taiwo Omotosho My wife had a bottle of Vitamin K2 100mcg and I took one daily until that ran out. I ordered more but I didn't notice that they were 45mcg until they came. So, I take two of them. It seems to work very well for me.
When I 1st moved to Europe I had bad joint pain, went to see a doctor who had my blood checked and found out my Vitamin D and iron levels were very low, got iron infusion and high dose of vit D, the joint pain went away. Since then during my yearly checkup it has been relatively stable, i do take vitamin D during the Winter and black seed oil. Am grateful and thankful to both my doctors, they are great human beings and are really wonderful doctors, I know since COVID many have lost faith in the health professionals but there are some good doctors out there.
I have just rewatched this presentation. It is one of your best ever. Thanks, as always, for your expertise, in imparting your lifetime, of accumulated knowledge, as well as your humility, in wanting to enlighten your audience. Your videos should be a part of an educator's curriculum.
He appears to be an extraordinarily developed physician. He’s also mindful to maintain GMP Good Medical Practice by indirectly bringing awareness while encouraging to not embrace his invalidated and unverified research. As a Medical Engineer I easily noticed this in his presentation which is sincere and authentic. In conclusion he’s a trusted source.🙏🏾💪🏾✊🏾📚🏥
I so get you on all these points! - he’s a gem! - his humility is so refreshing and clearly essential for the teacher of such profound information he presents this rigorous analysis of contemporary, recognised and available data in a very polite way He really does beckon you to do your own research Thank you John
I have osteoperosis and several autoimmune conditions; I've been taking K2 + D3 incombination for years. Switched our family to grass fed beef and butter products. It has helped with my bone loss. Dr. Weston Price a dentist first identified the K2 benefits, but at the time it was not investigated.
I have a high CAC score (763) but my Nuclear Stress test showed no obstructions. I'm on 5,000 IU of D3 and 180 mcg of K2 per my Cardiologist. Been Keto for 2 years. All other markers are in very good shape.
@Taiwo Omotosho I am on Magnesium Glycinate too. Both my cardiologist and my general practitioner are aware of all supplements I am taking and approve. Also, quick update. My recent scan shows a score of 748. Ivor Cummins says the goal is to make sure it does not continue to increase by 15% or more. I had a small reduction so I'm pleased with results. I will see my cardiologist in April and will ask about IP6 you mentioned.
@@lusmas99 I am so happy for you that your calcium score decreased! I just had my calcium score done this week and it was 323 (I have familial high cholesterol and have been on statins for 14 years but my LDL has never gotten below 127). Most of the plaque is in my LAD artery, which freaked me out. I wish I had done the CT scan many years ago but my dr never mentioned it. I too am taking 180 MK7, D3 and Magnesium Glycinate so your comment really caught my attention. Wish I had started the MK7 a long time ago, but just read about it a year or so ago. I hope you have continued success with your score!
Doc, thank you so much for this talk. Being that my hubby has been on warfarin for the last 6 years, it's time we learned all this. Very disappointing that our family doctor never said a word about K2, and only advised my hubby to stay away from Vitamin K. I never heard about K2,3,4,5,6,(7) last week. Geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Boy have I been missing out!
I was a chiropractor in California and studied nutrition. As far back as 2000 we were seeing vitamin D deficiency in our patients. I moved to Western North Carolina and found a functional nutritionist who had me get a blood test and included a test for vitamin D levels. I was shocked to find I was very low in D even though I spend a lot of my time outside. I take 5,000 IU’s a day in liquid form. I was very glad that I already was taking D when COVID hit. For all the symptoms you listed for D deficiency the fact it isn’t automatically checked for still amazes me. I wonder how much of the depression and bone loss seen in older adults are from long standing vitamin D deficiency. I love your videos. Also for years I studied nutrition with a doctor that came from the UK to California to lecture on the subject.
Well done - love the fact that you are presenting the underlying data from recent research; not relying on pronunciamientos from government authorities.
Thank you, Dr Campbell! I appreciate the way you always base conclusions on the evidence, are ready to change your opinion with new evidence, and are not afraid to say "we just don't know yet".
Nice to see Dr John looking at K2 with Vitamin D, I have been taking this for years alongside Magnesium. Be nice if Dr John looked at some of these wonder benefits of magnesium, not only for vitamin D, but also for other health benefits
It's more to do with spending sending a person for a blood test if they are not showing signs of deficiency isn't something the NHS does let alone px the medication but how do you know without bloods if you are deficient
Dr. John -- Thanks for helping us to stay healthy. Keep up God's work! We love you and check for your updates every day. You are amazing! Thanks for all that you do!
I’ve been following you for around a year now. Your tireless efforts to give us all some insight & evidence to consider is a bright light in these difficult times. Thank you for your service.

FYI & just to add to the 'database'. I've been taking 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 about 6 days a week (I forget some) since last March. I finally got my blood tested today. Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total 49 ng/mL. I live in a northern state in the US, so not much 'natural' vitamin D. About as I expected, but supports my decision to supplement at the higher dosage.
Great! I started this January. I bought a test through the internet and my levels were 13.8 ng/mL. I'm doing 5,000 IUs of Vitamin D supplement that has K2 added. I'm going to test my levels again in June.
This man is such a blessing in our lives. I’m not a GP but I always wanted to study evidence based research on vitamins and Covid etc etc. Dr John Campbell is like my teacher. I wish he were in real life. He makes everything about pharmacology sound exciting explaining words and this making learning exciting. Thank you for just being yiur gorgeous quirky intelligent self. I’m addicted to your channel. You deserve an award. By the way I had a most terrible reaction to the Pfizer 2 vaccine and still bedbound with seizures abd at times blindness as my eyes burn and they won’t open. It’s been 4 months of agony and visits to and from hospital. The medicos can’t accept that it was the vaccine that did this to me but I know that all my symptoms began within 25 mins of having the vaccine and then my seizures began 2 weeks after I had the shakes hit and cold shivering shaking and all sorts of other issues. I’m a mental health social worker and I’m curious to know more and I pray that one day I’ll be able to direct as many people to Dr Campbell’s utube site. It’s just fabulous and I feel heard and understood. You have helped keep me sane all night when I can’t sleep and I’m alone. Thank you so much. By the way has anyone else had a reaction to the Pfizer vaccine as my head feels really hurt on fire like an electrical pain and my eyes burn. Also I have severe gastrointestinal issues and my Wound are not healing I arrived back from the hospital just in time after I had 4 days of bleeding. Even my gums were so inflamed that when I went to the dentist my dentist told me I was at severe risk of having a stroke or heart attack I cough up mucus as well and am frothy in the mouth. I am trying to keep as calm as possible but if anyone else has had any issues will you email me with any suggestions. I have children and I’m not getting any better. Ingridrmessner@gmail.com I hope we can support each other or exchange ideas. Dr Campbell if you have ANY IDEAS I would be most appreciative although I know how busy you must be. Thanks again Dr Campbell. Your keeping me alive. Love the research. I’m totally addicted.
Going back about 20 years there was a guy in Edmonton that his 17 year old son came down with MS. The Globe and Mail in Toronto Canada covered the story. The father was a geologist I believe. He decided to study the world and discovered that anybody around the equator did not come down with MS or diabetes, he contributes it to lack of vitamin D. He put his son on 4,000 units of vitamin D a day and his Son never had another MS attack.
There are two types of salami. Heat treated (cooked) and non heat treated (fermented). It's written on the packet. Non heat treated is kept edible by bacterial action on the meat, so it doesn't need refrigeration (good for multi-day backpacking). It's the traditional form of salami, a way of preserving the meat.
I misunderstood the meaning of "links with liver cancer" until I followed the link provided in the description. Far from promoting liver cancer the K2 analog studied dramatically reduced the reoccurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients who had been successfully operated on to remove that cancer. The abstract linked is easy to follow and to the point, well worth a read.
There's a lot of osteoporosis in my family - my grandfather, mother and aunt were all severely disabled by it. My sister and I both started taking a bone supplement containing D3 and K2 in our 40s. We both had a bone scan and mine were described as "beyond good" density, my sister was diagnosed as having pre-osteoporosis. In my opinion genetics plays a big part! As a aside, the supplement hasn't done much for my teeth which are pretty weak.
Your sister being a menopausal or post-menopausaul woman would be the reason for the difference if she isn't on HRT. The lack of estrogen has a major impact on our bone health. Among way too many other things.
@C.M. Bright Genetic I believe - and my dentist concurs. Poor enamel. My mother was the same. My other half doesn't have half as good a hygiene routine as me but takes after his dad who also had "hard teeth"!

Yes I also found you during the lockdown. I learned so much. I actually was able to work every day during covid, and I'm old. (I was in an essential industry)
I buy Vitamin D3 (5.000 I.U.) with K2 (90 mcg). I take 2 daily. Have been for one year. Able to double my D levels from 24 to 50. Covid (10 months ago) was extremely mild for me and I haven't been sick again since. Also, I feel so much better. Get your levels checked!
❤️ This gentleman is truly an amazing Dr. He is extremely informative and provides the proof and references. His way of explaining in layman terms is extraordinarily. So blessed I found his site. It’s truly a blessing to us all. ❤️🇺🇸
Thank you, this has been useful. It's extraordinary to find out that if we go to our GP, he/she will check for signs of rickets, but if we're not obviously bow legged, then we're on our own - no tests and no Vit D. They can't even tell us their opinion - they have to follow NHS and NICE Guidance, or else. Public Health England has a lot to answer for. They clearly think it's a lot easier to stop the economy than to consider Vitamin D supplementation.
To face powerful entities in bigpharma industry requires: courage and knowledge. I do believe you have both. Keep working in benefit of truth. Congrats, Doc !
I've been watching SA flip flopping on IVM. What do you think is going on? BEE policies beginning to bight? We have South African Prof Thomas Borody now living here in Aust. and I notice quite a few South African accents on videos I watch (Elon Musk, and the fellah from the FLCCC alliance). Seems you might be suffering quite a brain drain.
Dr. Campbell, thank you for all the great advise on so many medical topics. I am 82 years of age and have been following your web site since just as the Covid-19 started. I have told my other old friends about your site, there all 80 to 83, plus my family. I consider you my 3rd doctor, 1st is my GP, 2nd is VA GP. Very lucky to have great medical care.Just had a reverse shoulder replacement, its working well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family, from the USA.😎🇺🇸🇬🇧
I take my vitamin d daily, for year's. But fermentation is a job for bacteria. Don't get me wrong I prefer to ferment on my own. And my gut feels well. Did you know you can ferment just about any food product. Fermentation helps keep your digestive system alive.
Please get checked regularly. My dad didn't take care of his prostrate cancer in time and it metastasized and killed him. It was a very painful way to go.
Unfortunately, some forms of cancer can display very subtle symptoms that can easily be confused or written off in someone's mind as being a much less dangerous illness. A man told me that his grandpa in his early 80s collapsed and died suddenly from undiagnosed leukemia, He had fatigue and weakness which he simply attributed to old age.
Your comment about the difficulty of finding high quality evidence for dietary advice is so true. As a dental student in the 1960s and ever since I have always been very suspicious of a lot of dietary advice because of the impossibility of running long term RCTs. Interestingly one of the few was the completely unethical Vipeholm studies that proved that refined sugars cause Dental Decay.
Ive watched this again a year later and the advice is still as good as it was then. In the UK, the pharmacists sell low doses at brand mega prices. It's difficult to get K2 and there is virtuously no advice on the bottles of pills as to the daily dose. These vitamins should be available in 250 packs at half the price they now charge. At the start of the pandemic, English men identified as having poor immunity were free issued packs of 200 VD3 pills, but then all went quiet. As of November 2022 there are no mentions anywhere of Covid except in hospitals and health centres where masks are still requested. I dont, and when challenged I use the excuse that trying to stop covid with cheap masks is like trying to stop gnats flying from one end to the other of a tennis court with the net.
I’ve been taking K2 in my D3 supplement, based on, I think, the FLCCC recommendations last year. It’s important, though, if extra D3 is needed, don’t double up on the K2, just take extra D3 only.
Thanks for that info. I have liquid spray D3 at 1000 IU and pills with D3 1000 + K2 120mcg. So I started out taking 4 spray shots plus one pill= 5000 D3 IU and K2 120 mcg. To day I took 3 pills, and 1 spray= 4000IU of D3 + K2 360mcg. Ok going back to one pill and extra sprays.
As someone with MS I'm so annoyed there isnt any answer to this question! I dont understand why theres a problem researching this! I did a personal blood test last month after taking 4000UI for over a yr and my level was just 90 so I'm not sure if I should take more! My nurse 'poo pooed' my queries 🤦♀️ thanks DrJ for highlighting this!
@@Buggle7619 I usually go to Healthline for numbers: www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-vitamin-d-is-too-much#TOC_TITLE_HDR_3 I think you can get that confirmed many other places. But I think you are doing good. :)
@@johmyh14 thanks I will have a look! The accompanying letter frm the test said that it was acceptable but I'd like to have a look at what the levels are. Thanks again for your suggestion!
I love this man so much, I nearly fell of my chair in laughter when he broke out the bottle of kraut. Thank you for all you do to keep us so well informed.
Thank you for your research. What I understand about vitamin K2 is that it brings calcium to the bones instead of calcium settling in the arteries creating maybe future blockage.
Japanese Natto, fermented soybeans, are very high in vitamin K and Nattokinase. Kimchi is fermented Napa cabbage with garlic, chili powder and ginger for spicing.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.Ya made me look good bud.... I was in my Doctors office and recited your explanation of the two different types of Vitamin D to his nurse. That one type brakes down in your system faster. She didn't know what the difference was, THANKS.
i am an American Intensive/Critical Care Registered Nurse., I also have been an active Covid Nurse for now over two years. Been using Vit D3 for far longer than covid as a friend of mine had a transplant years ago and his physician told him to use Vit D3; I also listened due to evidence that many northern hemisphere peoples are deficient. So by simple serendipity, I was doing the ONE thing shown to effect a positive outcome from covid. Dr Campbell is spot on and my two patients from work yesterday are Covid positive so I remain at the literal front lines. Thus I listen to Dr John, to assume a bit of familiarity.... His material is well placed and appropriate. I HOGHLY recommend his channel to patients often as well as coworkers. Carry on, Dr John!
You know what's amazing... I remember pharmacists and certain small pharmacy stores were saying exactly this. D, C, Zink, K2. Yet the governments were silent about this. Imagine reducing hospitalization rate by 80%. They are either very smart, or very stupid, and both options should be worrying.
@@michelelindseth8250 Hi there... an old saying.. ounce of prevention vs a pound of cure? one vist to the dr in the US is on avg $100 plus blood work another $100 for easy math... Glad we are having this discussion. Someone is covering the insurance.... A good challenge is to follow the money and consider why?
My vit D lvls were 13 nmol/L and I was just put on the daily vit D (400iu) which i've later found out is more or less ridiculous when dealing with that lowlevel. I researched the matter and starting taking 5000iu per day instead + k2. Two years later my vit D lvls are now normal (85). Please educate yourself on your own body because most doctors are absolutely clueless when it comes to health and not just prescribing pharmaceuticals.
I have encountered the same level of cluelessness from doctors when in comes to vitamins and nutrition as well. My doctor was unaware, for example, that high blood pressure can be corrected, where an insufficiency is present, by increasing intake of things like magnesium, calcium and potassium. I discovered this when I had my blood pressure taken by my doctor and my reading was 140/90. My doctor talked about putting me on blood pressure meds. I told him I wanted to hold off on meds because I had a hunch I knew why my blood pressure had crept up to that level. I looked over my diet, found I was getting way too much sodium and not enough potassium, so I cut back on the sodium and increased my potassium (particularly with milk, orange juice and dried apricots), and a month later, my blood pressure came down to 115/74. My doctor was amazed and asked how I managed that. I told him how and he asked why I thought that would help. I had to explain it to him. I was quite surprised that I knew more about the subject than he did.
I suffer from osteoporosis due to not been able to take HRT after my hysterectomy when I was 32. I am now 68 and suffer terrible back pain on a daily basis. I only discovered it was osteoporosis in 2021 when I had an MRI scan for a persistent cough, which I now know was down to Covid. In my many visits to my GP when suffering from Covid vitamins was never mentioned. After watching your video interviews I have been taking 9ius Vitamin D3 for about 3 months and will continue to do so. Sad, that I have had to discover on RUclips I have probably had a massive deficiency. So thank Dr Cambell.
Thanks for that, I started taking vitK2 a few weeks ago after reading up on it and seeing how I don't eat a lot of any of the sources of it I decided it would be a good idea. I have thought for years now that there is nowhere near enough research into vitamins and minerals and certainly nowhere near enough research into effects on health care. I started taking vit D a few years ago when I hit the menopause and the awful impact that had on me including depression as well as substantial pain I was about to be prescribed anti depressants but before I did I insisted on a vit D test having read up on S.A.D and depression (knowing I plummeted in winter months), after 3 months of a prescribed high dose it made significant improvements to my health and been on them ever since. If I could I would happily have every vit mineral test going annually as a health checker.
Your candid report fact and source based has gained prestige and fame in the media it's a valid trustful professional analysis that I profoundly love. Thank you for your generosity, everytime I enter in, am fascinated by your information. Thanks again 😄👏
If it's got live active bacteria, there is a good chance the glass jar will explode. I can't imagine such a product could be sealed on the shelf for more than a few days.
I have now watched this video 3 times and have found it very helpful. Thank you Dr. John and with your new videos out very recently looking at Vitamin D3 and K2 I have decided to now take K2 for the first time as I know I am not getting any from my diet. I started taking Vitamin D3 in February this year at a very low dose for the very first time as my levels where only very slightly above sufficient until the sun came. In Autumn I started taking a bit more still what most people would say is still a low dose and will be increasing my levels of D3 even more although they will not be anywhere near as high as what other people are taking but still quite modest.
a 10,000 iu Vit D3 dose is the MINIMUM maintenance dose for any hope of a NORMAL reading of sufficient Vit D in your body! stop being paranoid; thats what the docs WANT you to be!!
Dr. Campbell, so good to have you back...We went through Covid together, but you certainly had no ideaLOL...My husband and I never did get the jab, and did very well on the protocol of vitamin D3, C, zinc, and E. I have extra responsibilities recently, and I had skipped a few days. All of a sudden, vertigo sneaked up on me, and became almost disabling. I wondered what was going on, and I researched, and discovered that low D can cause vertigo. Bad timing, on my part...too much to do to be a dizzy gal. Glad to see you still putting out such valuable information. Kudos!
My mum broke the neck of femur at hip at 80. After this she was on vit d and k2 (no calcium). She had falls after this but never broke any more bones. Also if you have a shower after sun exposure it doesn’t get absorbed. It is harder to get from the sun than you think (at higher levels).
Excellent presentation John thank you very much for doing all the hard work on this vitaminK2 and presenting it to us comprehensively enough . Lots of love from my family and I .
Thank you for the coverage of this subject. My cardiologist recently told me that I had an ischemic heart and I ask his opinion of taking vitamin K2 and drew a blanc response. Thanks again.
I had a heart attack 10 years ago and, due to a slow ambulance response, it was several hours until I reached hospital and assistance of a stent. I was informed that I had around 20% heart damage and it would not improve. Talking to my local pharmacist he suggested I consider taking CoQ10 (CoenzymeQ10) as it helped ALL muscles to regenerate. Also Vitamin d and K2. Since that time my heart checks have shown improvement and I now understand that the heart can mend itself around 2% per year, very slowly but nevertheless an improvement. I'm a believer that if we assist our bodies it can both protect itself and mend itself if given the chance.
@@wyattfamily8997 I heard that Vit. K2 can erode layers of hard plaque and expose "soft plaque" which can cause a massive heat attack...I don't know if that's possible!
I had very low levels of vit D for years no matter how much i took. I read a few years ago that vit k2 was needed to absorb the vit D. I added vitk2 with my D and my test results finally came up to within normal limits i then had a heart scan done a few years after i started the combination and my heart and connecting arteries n veins had NO calcification present. I had also been taking CoQ 10 and grape seed extract for many years. I was 65 at the time of the scan.
I'm a community pharmacist and often recommend your videos for clinical information. You're what the Internet was made for. Kind regards
Them, I'm betting that you live on the channels like: MEDCRAM and DrBeen,
indeed good
This video on Vit D and K2 was excellent John!!!!! (You’re backing for the Covid scam not withstanding tho)
Nunquam non paratus!
We are all fucked then if that is the case.
I had my yearly checkup in June. It went as it typically does until we got to the blood work. My doctor was telling me the blood work she was ordering and she had not mentioned vitamin D. I asked her why we were not checking my vitamin D levels and she said they don't. If they checked it at some point previously (prior years) and the patient was deficient they would have been told to take it and if they took it their numbers would be better, if they didn't it would not. No need to check it. I said 'Isn't there a relationship between a person's vitamin D levels and how bad COVID-19 does you?' She said yes. So during a pandemic that has killed a number of people why wouldn't doctors as a practice check for a deficiency in their patients that could potentially save them if they get COVID-19? That does not make sense to me. This pandemic has opened my eyes about the healthcare industry.
The operative word being "industry."
Hello, I agree there may be some benefit from screening more people for vitamin d deficiency, however I'm not a doctor she don't pretend to be one. If you have no signs or symptoms of vitamin d deficiency, why would you expect your Dr to check? Similarly, in this video it's suggested vitamin K2 plays a potentially major role in cardiovascular diseases, yet I don't hear you calling for everyone to be screened for vitamin K2 deficiencies despite heart disease being a leading cause of death in the United States. I could go on and on like this. It's just not realistic to screen everyone for everything, especially if there is no indication in the patient to do so. Also, adding more tests = more cost and then everyone would be crying that doctors are just ordering inappropriate tests so they can benefit financially. See? There are many perspectives to issues, we just need to explore them a little. And I'm by no means saying you're wrong or that all Doctors are good at their job. It's just a bit more complex than you may realize
@@joe1071 I was seriously low on vitamin D so did not know anything was wrong until my blood test had revealed that it was so slow . I suggest everybody take a vitamin D supplement especially if they get little or no sunshine . I take less now ..so I take Vit D 3 ,3,000 iu per day now my levels have increased to a healthier level .
I’m a nurse and had my vitamin D levels checked I was at 19. I was feeling lethargic, and it was more than just having a heavier work load.
Doctors are employees just like their clerical office staff. To maintain employment, they must do as they are directed, whether they agree or not. Older doctors with nothing to lose are more likely to tell you the truth. Younger doctors with high student loan balances to pay are going to follow company policies to keep their jobs.
I’d lived in Chicago for years, always low Vitamin D levels. Moved south, but levels didn’t rise much, though I was taking about 2000 in/day sporadically. Doc told me this was plenty. Because of these videos, I began taking D religiously. After about 3 months of this, I realized I was sleeping really well and much less depression. Doc confirmed normal range. When I went to get new supply, I realized I’d actually been taking 10,000 iu/day! That’s the dose it took, but no doc had taken me seriously. Thanks to these videos encouraging us to keep up levels!
Be aware that high levels of D over time aggravates osteoporosis and osteopenia. 6,000 iu is safe.
@@christal2641 Everyone's different silly, she's in the normal range with that dose, next time think before responding!!
@@skolvikings5263 Christa L you are right. Actually 4000 IU is the safe and effective dose. I just had a friend that was taking too much and her Dr. warned her you can take too much.
I am seeing reports that individuals with a level of vitamin D in the blood of 50 ng per ml, or more, by a large margin, are not hospitalized with COVID. What is your blood level? I am taking 10,000 IU a day and have a level of about 60 ng per ml having a BMI of about 3.5 at 72 inches height, it takes more for me to keep that level in my blood.,,,,,,,,,, My 60 ng per ml of blood is equivilent to 150 nmol/L.
@@christal2641 If your BMI is above 3, you can need as much as 3 times more vitamin D, so this rule does not apply to everyone.
Just an update, in 2009 I was living in MA - USA, my levels of D3 were nonexistent and every winter I got the flu and whooping cough, my doctor put me on D3 and I have not been sick since. I also added K and Zinc to my daily consumption. I live in a retirement community now in Florida and many folks around me did get COVID and many were hospitalized and some died, I did not get sick and I was exposed to many who did get this flu. I recommend D3, K and zinc to all my friends and some are now doing this as well.
Can you tell me what Brand and form of zinc you were taking and how much?
MAKE sure you take copper with zinc, because zinc depletes the copper.
Do you take these vitamins in addition to a multivitamin?
Speak with your doctor. Zinc is great for colds, flus and allergies. But not to be taken daily as it has effects on other elements like copper and iron. Use wisely, when needed.
Good girl. I’m 75 and those vaccines are full of bad stuff if you’ve done your research. I too take all those vitamins and I also take vit C and Zinc.

He's not a 'national treasure' he's an anti-vaxxer nurse who touts himself as a medical doctor to lend validity to the flimsy premises on which he bases the misinformation he disseminates.
I’ll do it for you if someone can tell me the best way to do it
I went to my GP with extreme exhaustion, anger issues, up and down in emotion, and feeling borderline depressed. I thought it was baby blues or postpartum depression, but she checked my blood for vitamin d and said my numbers were through the floor. Prescribed me 50,000 IUs/week for 3 months and it was life changing! From the first 30 mins I took the first pill I felt instantly better. No more falling asleep behind the wheel (literary, I had to pull over the road to sleep smh). My previous doctor had given me anti depressants without checking for vitamin D. I wish docs would check for Vit D before prescribing anti-depressants.
Awesome! Most doctors are trained to treat sick people with drugs, not prevention - at least not until something breaks down.
"Do not check the levels of vit D until you have symptons telling you to do so"....kkkkkkk. this is criminal!!!! Who wrote this should be arrested by commiting crime against humanity!!!!!
Thanks for sharing such a positive story. Keep safe, keep well. 👍
Thanks for sharing. Fatigue is a well known side effect of low vitamin d, almost catatonic fatigue. I have autoimmune condition and when they checked mine it was 17, I was also almost catatonic sleeping 20 hours a day couldn't stop sleeping. Was given 100,000 IU to begin with and then 20,000 each month for a few months. I couldn't believe it as I had been taking a supplement of 500 every second day for years as living in Scotland we don't get a lot of sun. I have learnt a lot from Dr Campbell about vitamin d, although prescribed 1000 a day I currently take 6000, but recently increased to 10,000iu for a short period . It's made a huge difference even loose teeth have become strong and not loose any longer. Swelling of feet gone down to normal and my nails have never been in better condition, all in a few months. He said there are vitamin d receptors everywhere in body and yes I know he's right.
Do u also take vitamin k2 with it???
A very important topic came up here. Probably far more important for people to understand than Vitamin D. The notion that Saturated fat/ cholesterol causes heart/arterial disease has lead to catastrophic decline in human health. We have been told to reduce sat fat and red meat in the diet, and replace it with processed grains and industrial fats refined from otherwise inedible seeds, soybeans and such. The result is a diet low in protein, high in processed carbohydrate, and sky high in omega 6 fatty acids. Those guidelines havent worked out well. There is you causation for diabetes, heart disease, obesity, weak immune systems, many cancers, and more. Eat whole foods people. I didnt say whole grains did I? No, and I didnt say go plant based either. That is all highly profitable crap. Optimal for me is something like Beef butter, eggs,
which "inedible" seeds? I eat sunflower seeds regularly. The diet cholesterol myth has been corrected. As is usually the case with the process of science. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9794145/pdf/coedo-30-65.pdf
What other foods do you eat ? Thanks for the information.
whole grains is healthy
I have to applaude this one more than others John. Bravo mate. You've reduced mortality by massive amounts if just 1% of your subscribers takes action on what they've learnt from you.

I share these videos with people I care about but they can't stay off social media long enough to watch. Very discouraging.
@@kathystorer8831 same here. I evangelise the benefits of vitamin d3 and k2 but they either don’t want to know or don’t care. It’s mostly because I’m not a TV doctor getting paid a fortune by the pharmaceutical companies.
It's good supplement both in one taken few them and my level of pain has half in days of just takening thos. Two supplements.
Understand it is to the advantage of big pharmaceutical companies that doctor's don't regulate the vitamin D3 and potassium levels because it will make many so call life long customers disappear,Simply because high blood pressure will be no more alone with many other health issues.Cure isn't your doctor's job treatment makes his life style possible.

That's today's "warm fuzzy feeling" taken care of!👍
CONGRATULATIONS !
What I've learnt is that Vitamin K2 helps removes calcium in the soft tissues and puts it into the bones. While you are taking vitamin D your calcium absorption is increased by 20x so making sure that you reduce your calcium (dairy) intake, at the same time make sure that you are taking 100mcg of K2 per 10,000iu of Vitamin D, drink 2 litres of water a day to reduce the formation of kidney stones and take Vitamin D with a Fat, either a fatty meal or I take it with a high strength Omega 3 and fish oil tablet as Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is absorbed better with healthy fats.
100 mcg of mq-7, the other mqs needs dosages in the thousands of mcg, if it replaces mq-7. Afaik anyway.
Daniel yes you are. correct for the most part but Australia and New Zealand are one the biggest consumers of milk dairy and have the highest esteoperosis?..milk particularly a poor choice of calcium
Secondly we have to stop saying drink plenty of water 2 litres per day not correct.... it's half your body weight (pounds) in ounces
Important specific for every ones body weight that's the best measure
@@jamesyoung1012 when I mention dairy I mean all dairy including cheese and I mention drinking water to reduce the risk of creating kidney stones with too much calcium in the blood. You don't want to drink alot of water especially flushing out your electrolytes and not replacing them.
10000 is big amount.If you haven't problems as cancer this amount it not needed. If you have tested your blood serum bigger amounts of 5000 are not needed but resolving absorption problem....fish oil or animal fat is needed for dissolution and absorption and if there is gut problem lgg probiotic will solve this. In one year on 5000 iu you can gain 100+ of d3 in the blood serum from the base amount. There are different pathways for vit D from food and from sun. From food it is not absorbed in the fat tissue as is with from sun. If there are patology k2 for 4-5000 of D3 should be 300 basically because extra calcium in the blood from d3.100 is just maintenance dosage for 1000 d3.
Been taking 5000iu daily with Olive oil. Had gotten up to 39.8 December. Yesterday was 36.6 !!???? Still taking 5000iu CONFUSED
Taking Vit D & K has completely changed my health for the better. Rarely to never sick, sleep well and hormones are much more balanced.

Love that you guve your citations and say “don’t take my word for it” (among similar expressions). Also that Dr Campbell never condescends to his audience and recognizes it’s very diverse by now (perhaps always has been). He is closely followed by physicians, nutritionists, nurses and lay persons with string interests on science and aplied science (eg clinical practice). Such a great balance achieved on all counts I can contemplate. Kudos.
Regrets for the typos.

I have had some peripheral neuropathy in the soles of my feet and the cool draft feeling on my calves for a few years, my blood sugar is fine, I eat very little sugar... I started supplementing with K2(mk7), D3 and magnesium four months ago...I now suffer very little cold draft feeling over my calves and have regained about 50% of feeling back in the soles of my feet so far

Vitamin D3 is more than a required nutrient; it fits the definition of a hormone. It is an anti-inflammatory agent and appears to protect us from viral pulmonary infections. K2 helps coronary circulation.
D3 is a hormone...
Very true Maureen good advice you posted 👍 best from Glasgow scotland stay safe
Hi Maureen! I see you found a good info source in Dr. Campbell.
I believe vitamin K given to pregnant women to reduce still births.
Considering that 'Vitamin' C is biosynthesized by many living creatures, though some including Humans cannot - although it looks as if we once could, I think we could enter the same debacle that Pauling - and onwards - have been going through and the neverending cycle of the repeated meme, "but . . more evidence is needed". I am reminded of a line by the Indiana poet George Kalamaras. "And so, their ascetic monk mouths have fractured me . . And so, the world is unsolved like a beautiful table"
Thanks for mentioning autoimmune diseases. I have subclinical Hashimotos (discourages me from getting vaxxed, I feel vulnerable to extra/ unresearched disturbances of my immune system) and your vid has led me to find out more quality research on the link between Vit D and autoimmune issues.It seems clear from numerous articles that Vit D supplementation, as well as some elements, are highly advised. Not one doctor in 20 years has mentioned it.
I have two autoimmune diseases, plus adrenal fatigue, I've avoided the vaccine as long as possible, this summer I went to see an integrated dr, i told them today I'm getting the Pfizer shot Friday, they want me to get an ozone iv and vitamin c iv, go get the vaccine come back and use the hyperbaric chamber for a couple hours, 😷😷

Dr Campbell. Last year after watching your video on K2 I started ordering 100mcg capsules MK7. My partner (we are 73) who takes a vegan bone strength with 60mcg of K2 and started supplementing her K2 with an additional capule, in total 160 mcg per day. Years ago she had a dexa scan for bone loss and was down in many areas but her lates last week her spine had increased density over 8% and although herhip was down 2%. Her doctor was amazed. She did not disclose her K2 intake. This is not a study just an observation.
What is a vegan bone strength? Aren’t bones animal products by definition?
Plants contain calcium, especially green leafy, so probably this?
And it is said to be bioavailable

Hello from Poland! We eat a lot of sauerkraut. Especially as a side dish. Let me give you recepie for it. Sauerkraut about 200 grams drained from the juice and choped. Half of onion chopped, 1 carrot shreaded, 1-2 tbs. Of olive, black pepper and bit of sugar. You can drink the juice from the kraut seperatly its a natural isotonic ,very healthy contains lots of vitamins. The only important thing is that the sauerkraut has to be fermented naturalny without vinegar. Sometimes producent put vinegar to speed up the process od fermentation. Its NOT good. Read carefully labeles or go to polish shop. We also have fermented cucambers but again those healthy are without vinegar. Uff sorry for such elaborated entry. 😉

You would only be taking high dosages of D3 when supervised by your Dr. (who is not trained in nutrition, so has no idea). Any time I have spoken to Drs about supplements they have no idea.
Most doctors are trained to prescribe drugs when someone is sick, not how to stay healthy. Training is generally given by the pharmaceutical industry.
Mines a PhD in biochemistry-he knows his stuff! Turns out I have a liver deficiency that prevents my being able to make vitamin D from sunlight. He knew exactly how to get my levels where they need to be- 50,000 once per week with twice the daily RDA of methylfolate, daily. It works for my DNA issue, which approximately 10% of the general population has. Both I & my husband carry this gene, as well as our son, who we had tested, first.
Not medical doctor has any idea about how the body works and what it needs . They're like a bad engineer working on a boiler . Leaves you leaking patches you up gives you an inhibitor that you didnt need . And says you'll be fine in a few days. Only making matters worse to feed the drug industry money .

I was a chiropractor in California and studied nutrition. As far back as 2000 we were seeing vitamin D deficiency in our patients. I moved to Western North Carolina and found a functional nutritionist who had me get a blood test and included a test for vitamin D levels. I was shocked to find I was very low in D even though I spend a lot of my time outside. I take 5,000 IU’s a day in liquid form. I was very glad that I already was taking D when COVID hit. For all the symptoms you listed for D deficiency the fact it isn’t automatically checked for still amazes me. I wonder how much of the depression and bone loss seen in older adults are from long standing vitamin D deficiency. I love your videos. Also for years I studied nutrition with a doctor that came from the UK to California to lecture on the subject.

Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total 49 ng/mL. I live in a northern state in the US, so not much 'natural' vitamin D. About as I expected, but supports my decision to supplement at the higher dosage.

He put his son on 4,000 units of vitamin D a day and his Son never had another MS attack.

It's extraordinary to find out that if we go to our GP, he/she will check for signs of rickets, but if we're not obviously bow legged, then we're on our own - no tests and no Vit D.

They clearly think it's a lot easier to stop the economy than to consider Vitamin D supplementation.

Unfortunately, some forms of cancer can display very subtle symptoms that can easily be confused or written off in someone's mind as being a much less dangerous illness.
A man told me that his grandpa in his early 80s collapsed and died suddenly from undiagnosed leukemia, He had fatigue and weakness which he simply attributed to old age.
Your comment about the difficulty of finding high quality evidence for dietary advice is so true. As a dental student in the 1960s and ever since I have always been very suspicious of a lot of dietary advice because of the impossibility of running long term RCTs. Interestingly one of the few was the completely unethical Vipeholm studies that proved that refined sugars cause Dental Decay.
Ive watched this again a year later and the advice is still as good as it was then.
In the UK, the pharmacists sell low doses at brand mega prices. It's difficult to get K2 and there is virtuously no advice on the bottles of pills as to the daily dose. These vitamins should be available in 250 packs at half the price they now charge. At the start of the pandemic, English men identified as having poor immunity were free issued packs of 200 VD3 pills, but then all went quiet.
As of November 2022 there are no mentions anywhere of Covid except in hospitals and health centres where masks are still requested. I dont, and when challenged I use the excuse that trying to stop covid with cheap masks is like trying to stop gnats flying from one end to the other of a tennis court with the net.
I’ve been taking K2 in my D3 supplement, based on, I think, the FLCCC recommendations last year. It’s important, though, if extra D3 is needed, don’t double up on the K2, just take extra D3 only.

Japanese Natto, fermented soybeans, are very high in vitamin K and Nattokinase. Kimchi is fermented Napa cabbage with garlic, chili powder and ginger for spicing.
Love natto
@@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33 Sorry, the texture is disgusting.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.Ya made me look good bud.... I was in my Doctors office and recited your explanation of the two different types of Vitamin D to his nurse. That one type brakes down in your system faster. She didn't know what the difference was, THANKS.
i am an American Intensive/Critical Care Registered Nurse., I also have been an active Covid Nurse for now over two years. Been using Vit D3 for far longer than covid as a friend of mine had a transplant years ago and his physician told him to use Vit D3; I also listened due to evidence that many northern hemisphere peoples are deficient.
So by simple serendipity, I was doing the ONE thing shown to effect a positive outcome from covid. Dr Campbell is spot on and my two patients from work yesterday are Covid positive so I remain at the literal front lines. Thus I listen to Dr John, to assume a bit of familiarity....
His material is well placed and appropriate. I HOGHLY recommend his channel to patients often as well as coworkers.
Carry on, Dr John!
You know what's amazing... I remember pharmacists and certain small pharmacy stores were saying exactly this. D, C, Zink, K2. Yet the governments were silent about this. Imagine reducing hospitalization rate by 80%. They are either very smart, or very stupid, and both options should be worrying.
SO TRUE...BIG PHARM INFLUENCE.... CURE ONLY...
NO ADVICE ON PREVENTION.
ALL ABOUT MONEY AND POLITICS
These days it is extremely expensive to take vitamins and supplements unlike 20 years ago.
My medical insurance does not cover them.
@@michelelindseth8250 Hi there... an old saying.. ounce of prevention vs a pound of cure? one vist to the dr in the US is on avg $100 plus blood work another $100 for easy math... Glad we are having this discussion. Someone is covering the insurance.... A good challenge is to follow the money and consider why?
Then again.. if it is more cost effective where you live to show up at the Dr with a problem vs prevent .. .you do you! :) god bless!
My vit D lvls were 13 nmol/L and I was just put on the daily vit D (400iu) which i've later found out is more or less ridiculous when dealing with that lowlevel. I researched the matter and starting taking 5000iu per day instead + k2. Two years later my vit D lvls are now normal (85). Please educate yourself on your own body because most doctors are absolutely clueless when it comes to health and not just prescribing pharmaceuticals.
I have encountered the same level of cluelessness from doctors when in comes to vitamins and nutrition as well. My doctor was unaware, for example, that high blood pressure can be corrected, where an insufficiency is present, by increasing intake of things like magnesium, calcium and potassium. I discovered this when I had my blood pressure taken by my doctor and my reading was 140/90. My doctor talked about putting me on blood pressure meds. I told him I wanted to hold off on meds because I had a hunch I knew why my blood pressure had crept up to that level. I looked over my diet, found I was getting way too much sodium and not enough potassium, so I cut back on the sodium and increased my potassium (particularly with milk, orange juice and dried apricots), and a month later, my blood pressure came down to 115/74. My doctor was amazed and asked how I managed that. I told him how and he asked why I thought that would help. I had to explain it to him. I was quite surprised that I knew more about the subject than he did.
Well done Dr John, that was not an easy thing to explain, I am grateful to you.
I suffer from osteoporosis due to not been able to take HRT after my hysterectomy when I was 32. I am now 68 and suffer terrible back pain on a daily basis. I only discovered it was osteoporosis in 2021 when I had an MRI scan for a persistent cough, which I now know was down to Covid. In my many visits to my GP when suffering from Covid vitamins was never mentioned. After watching your video interviews I have been taking 9ius Vitamin D3 for about 3 months and will continue to do so. Sad, that I have had to discover on RUclips I have probably had a massive deficiency. So thank Dr Cambell.
Thanks for that, I started taking vitK2 a few weeks ago after reading up on it and seeing how I don't eat a lot of any of the sources of it I decided it would be a good idea. I have thought for years now that there is nowhere near enough research into vitamins and minerals and certainly nowhere near enough research into effects on health care. I started taking vit D a few years ago when I hit the menopause and the awful impact that had on me including depression as well as substantial pain I was about to be prescribed anti depressants but before I did I insisted on a vit D test having read up on S.A.D and depression (knowing I plummeted in winter months), after 3 months of a prescribed high dose it made significant improvements to my health and been on them ever since. If I could I would happily have every vit mineral test going annually as a health checker.

Your candid report fact and source based has gained prestige and fame in the media it's a valid trustful professional analysis that I profoundly love. Thank you for your generosity, everytime I enter in, am fascinated by your information. Thanks again 😄👏
Dr. Campbell, thank you. It is refreshing to hear straightforward information explained so even this South Carolina fossil can understand it.
I suffered long Covid for months within 5 days of D3 K2 it went , thanks Dr John it is your channel that educated me on it .
Sheer coincidence or placebo,as I am on Vit D3+K2 and Zinc, and still got very unpleasant Omicron 😢
@@XSD.1. So did I , thing is I am still typing this now , and so are you ...I was one of the first to ever get covid and am still alive
Which brand
Store bought kraut might not really be fermented, or minimally so. Read the label. It's probably pasteurised and in vinegar.
Then it is not REALLY saurkraut
I get mine in the refrigerated section. They tend to be the unpasteurized kinds.
If it's got live active bacteria, there is a good chance the glass jar will explode. I can't imagine such a product could be sealed on the shelf for more than a few days.
@@vegahimsa3057That used to concern me a bit, that the kimchi jars were not fully sealed , until I figured out why.
seems that people have no choice, everybody will get vaccinated. Vitamin D is then not required anymore.
You sir are a scholar and a gentleman, thank you for the information you give here
I have now watched this video 3 times and have found it very helpful. Thank you Dr. John and with your new videos out very recently looking at Vitamin D3 and K2 I have decided to now take K2 for the first time as I know I am not getting any from my diet. I started taking Vitamin D3 in February this year at a very low dose for the very first time as my levels where only very slightly above sufficient until the sun came. In Autumn I started taking a bit more still what most people would say is still a low dose and will be increasing my levels of D3 even more although they will not be anywhere near as high as what other people are taking but still quite modest.
a 10,000 iu Vit D3 dose is the MINIMUM maintenance dose for any hope of a NORMAL reading of sufficient Vit D in your body! stop being paranoid; thats what the docs WANT you to be!!
Dr. Campbell, so good to have you back...We went through Covid together, but you certainly had no ideaLOL...My husband and I never did get the jab, and did very well on the protocol of vitamin D3, C, zinc, and E. I have extra responsibilities recently, and I had skipped a few days. All of a sudden, vertigo sneaked up on me, and became almost disabling. I wondered what was going on, and I researched, and discovered that low D can cause vertigo. Bad timing, on my part...too much to do to be a dizzy gal. Glad to see you still putting out such valuable information. Kudos!
My mum broke the neck of femur at hip at 80. After this she was on vit d and k2 (no calcium). She had falls after this but never broke any more bones. Also if you have a shower after sun exposure it doesn’t get absorbed. It is harder to get from the sun than you think (at higher levels).
Which brand
Don't be silly. Your mum didn't fall the exact same way.
Excellent presentation John thank you very much for doing all the hard work on this vitaminK2 and presenting it to us comprehensively enough . Lots of love from my family and I .
Thank you for the coverage of this subject. My cardiologist recently told me that I had an ischemic heart and I ask his opinion of taking vitamin K2 and drew a blanc response. Thanks again.
I had a heart attack 10 years ago and, due to a slow ambulance response, it was several hours until I reached hospital and assistance of a stent. I was informed that I had around 20% heart damage and it would not improve. Talking to my local pharmacist he suggested I consider taking CoQ10 (CoenzymeQ10) as it helped ALL muscles to regenerate. Also Vitamin d and K2. Since that time my heart checks have shown improvement and I now understand that the heart can mend itself around 2% per year, very slowly but nevertheless an improvement. I'm a believer that if we assist our bodies it can both protect itself and mend itself if given the chance.
@@wyattfamily8997 I heard that Vit. K2 can erode layers of hard plaque and expose "soft plaque" which can cause a massive heat attack...I don't know if that's possible!
@@luisschay2299 source?
I had very low levels of vit D for years no matter how much i took. I read a few years ago that vit k2 was needed to absorb the vit D. I added vitk2 with my D and my test results finally came up to within normal limits i then had a heart scan done a few years after i started the combination and my heart and connecting arteries n veins had NO calcification present. I had also been taking CoQ 10 and grape seed extract for many years. I was 65 at the time of the scan.
