Deficiency of vit D limits the performance of systems resulting in, increased spread of diseases of civilization
Reduced protection against infections
Reduced effectiveness of vaccination
Covid fatality rates correlate with,
Elderly, dark, black people, comorbidities, winter
Blood level of 20 ng/mL, (50 nmol/L) sufficient to stop osteomalacia
Preferable, 40-60 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)
Vitamin D3 receptors
Bone
Intestine
Pancreas
Prostate
Immune system cells
Vitamin D is a powerful epigenetic regulator
Influencing more than 2,500 genes
Cancer
Diabetes mellitus
Acute respiratory tract infections
Viral lung infections that cause ARDS
Chronic inflammatory diseases
Autoimmune diseases
Multiple sclerosis
Immunomodulatory properties
Regulating innate and adaptive immune systems
D3 receptors
Monocytes/macrophages
T cells
B cells
Natural killer (NK) cells
Dendritic cells (DCs)
Supplements
Without calcium supplementation, even very high vitamin D3 supplementation does not cause vascular calcification
Vitamin D3 supplementation in the range of 4000 to 10,000 units (100 to 250 µg) needed to generate an optimal 40-60 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)
has been shown to be completely safe when combined with approximately 200 µg vitamin K2
www.nhs.uk/con...
However, this knowledge is still not widespread in the medical community, and obsolete warnings about the risks of vitamin D3 overdoses unfortunately are still commonly circulating.
ARDS and cytokine release syndrome
Vitamin D3 is able to inhibit the underlying metabolic pathways
Vitamin D3 has a protective role against ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2.
A rapidly increasing number of publications are investigating the vitamin D3 status of SARS-CoV-2 patients,
and have confirmed low vitamin D levels in cases of severe courses of infection
and positive results of vitamin D3 treatments
Conclusions
we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)
to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity.
At a time when vaccination was not yet available,
patients with sufficiently high D3 serum levels preceding the infection were highly unlikely to suffer a fatal outcome.
This correlation should have been good news when vaccination was not available but instead was widely ignored.
the lower threshold for healthy vitamin D levels should lie at approximately 125 nmol/L or 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3,
which would save most lives, reducing the impact even for patients with various comorbidities.
This is-to our knowledge-the first study that aimed to determine an optimum D3 level to minimize COVID-19 mortality
Implications for herd immunity
It seems clear that a good immune defense,
does not prove protection against physical infection
but rather against its consequences
This “protection” was most effective at ~55 ng/mL
Traditionally living populations in East Africa have a mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration of 115 nmol/l
www.cambridge....
natural vitamin D3 levels seen among traditional hunter/gatherer lifestyles,
in a highly infectious environment,
were 110-125 nmol/L (45-50 ng/mL)
WHO advice may not be correct
30 ng/mL D3 value considered by the WHO as the threshold for sufficiency
Future mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, vaccine immune escape
the entire population should raise their serum vitamin D level to a safe level as soon as possible.
As long as enough vitamin K2 is provided, the suggested D3 levels are entirely safe to achieve by supplementation.
Selenium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins A and E should also be controlled for and supplemented where necessary to optimize the conditions for a well-functioning immune system.
Next study
test PCR-positive contacts of an infected person for D3 levels immediately, i.e.,
before the onset of any symptoms,
and then follow them for 4 weeks and relate the course of their symptomatology to the D3 level,
the same result as shown above must be obtained
I have Ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease) that have been active for over 10 year. From covid-19 info on RUclips I got information about vitamin D. I went to the doctor and measure vitamin D level, and I had a low level. Then I started one year ago to take vitamin D every day. After a couple of weeks I started to get better. After a couple of month the disease disappear (is inactive) .
Very awesome! Might be hopeful for me!! Good for you 🌷
Very exciting!
Thank you very much for your comment about vitamin D3 helping with ulcerative colitis! It makes me hopeful about getting my acute episode under control with getting my vitamin D3 level checked and increasing my vitamin D3 level, if necessary.
that's awesome. Happy for you. But how annoying that this was not suggested by your doctor 9 years ago.
Good for you!
I have closely followed your video and I would like to congratulate you on such a good job. Very good documentation and great awareness work, as well as exposing the health authorities for not implementing a simple routine vitamin D analysis. Just great.
I have been taking vitamin d and multi vitamin since Jan 2020 .I have not even had a cold.It was a British Doctor that discovered people in cities had low vitamin d levels.And they where getting I'll.So you need to go out in the sun.Not stay indoors watching a computer screen.Also damaging your eyes.I have noticed the number of people infected has gone up since schools and collages universities have gone back.Most the people dying have not been vaccinated.Some people don't trust Doctors.So it's going to hard to convince them to get a vaccination.Number of people dying in my area is 2 per week out of 340 000.So Covid 19 Is about as deadly as car accidents.In a lockdown people are encouraged to stay indoors.Maybe they can do some gardening.Goverment policies seem to damage the economy.We all need to work to pay are bills.At least they have got some planes in the air again.People can go on holiday and sit in the sun and relax.This country is to stressfull.Well done Dr Campbell bringing to our attention we need to take vitamin d.before we were taking vitamin c to avoid colds.Hope all the staff in the hospitals are taking vitamin d and wearing masks on the way home from work.
@sleevey I would like to know, too. Idk why anywhere would prevent a vitamin from bejng sold.
That is an important thing to point out. They were incentivizing people to take the jab by offering free junk food and fast food..... i mean, REALLY? They don't talk about the importance of staying healthy and diet, basically just treat your body like garbage and rely on the pharma jabs instead of taking control of your own personal health. Anyway, i don't want to get started on this. All about $$$.
@sleevey There is a limit how much you can purchase online... im not kidding. That goes for any vitamin.
@sleevey in in Ontario and this did not happen stop lying. I have been picking it up all the time over the last 1 1/2. Your talking online orders not in store pickup and that was to prevent people hoarding it and reselling it and it was a government ordered it was depending on who sold it some chains were doing it and some were not. It’s no different than the restrictions on the toilet paper.
I had severe Vitamin D deficiency and my dark skin color made matters worse. 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 has made a profound impact in quality of my life. Physically I feel more energized and mentally I feel more positive.
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers. 10000 UI at least for dark skin color, especially in the winter months. And blood test is king together with K2, Magnesium, Zinc and Boron, all co-factors!
*!!!
I am happy for you that you feel much better with vitamin D.
My wife and kids have fairly dark skin (whereas I am a lovely shade of lobster 😂), so I give them some vitamin D every day during winter months. Cheap insurance to tip the odds in our favor.
Same happened to me, I was put on 50,000 iu once a week for 6 weeks. Keep up with the vitamin d - I’ll never stop taking it!
I am an advanced practice nurse in the US. I wish this man had been my lecturer in nursing school. Amazing!
The German word for science is Wissenschaft (WITCHCRAFT). Strange? This language of Babel sure is a joke. Here is something that isn't a joke:

My son is currently in nursing school... I've been wishing the same thing for him. 😊
i find his videos really of value
@Tove Sømhovd Thank you!
This Dr is a very smart, you can tell he loves teaching and helping people. 😊
In April 2021, Canada's then Health Minister Patty Hajdu said it’s “fake news” that Vitamin D can be taken to help protect Canadians. Hadju was responding to MP Derek Sloan asking why the public was not being told of the health benefits available to us all from Vitamin D3. We really must ask what is going on and why our health is not being addressed by our 'leaders'.
What's going on is called "government".
A group of people who "just want to solve our problems". If you believe that you'll never find the solution.
I’ve lost faith in Canadian leaders and those who voted to keep them in power. All I can do now is keep myself healthy and try to say the truth when talking with people
*!!!
Please link to that comment. I don’t remember her saying any such thing or MP Sloan’s comments regarding vitamin D. Can you please share the source?
@@farmersdotter7 a simple Google search will show several articles on it ( I checked ) she was an incompetent health minister and totally unqualified for the position .
Not only is Dr. John Campbell a great source of objective information, I also find his videos oddly calming in these times of constant misinformation.
I'm grateful we have him.
Same here! I listen to him whenever I'm stressed, and there is something soothing about his consistent tone and earnestness!
Easier to listen and understand then alot of peps. I like this Dr.
@Investigative Audit No one makes big bucks from vitamins, not even in America. They're as generic as can be.
@Investigative Audit that is false. Very few people can eat enough Vit D3 in food if they live above 33° N or below 33° S latitude in winter.
@Investigative Audit You seem dishonest to me.
I’m a plus size African American, and I’ve been on 10k IU of D3 daily since the beginning of this pandemic. Added 100mcg of K2 about 3 months ago. Not only have I not gotten even a basic cold, my fibromyalgia symptoms have dramatically subsided. My doctor…bless his heart…he did my blood work and cried about overdose, but I told him, I’m going to have to go my own way with this one. I’ve now had the best health during these past two years than ever!
way to go sister!!!!
Going to try it on my wife and I , see if it helps my wheat allergy. Thanks for your comments .
I am slender, and I take 5000 IU per day. I have good D levels with that dose, but nowhere near toxic and probably still less than some would recommend. So my opinion is that you are doing a good thing. Maybe have your levels rechecked in a few months or a year.
Please take magnesium if you are taking vitamin D and K2. You will be Mg deficient. Mg makes vit d 'work'.
Amazing! You do have to do what you know is best for you! Wonderful results!! I'm so happy for you!!!
The fact that vitamin D supplementation isn't being pushed by the government just makes me very cynical and makes me think that they don't actually care about peoples health
You would be right
They only care about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and carrying out the plans of the billionaires on the WEF …
Soon vitamins will be banned
The IOM folks picked an outcome measure (bone status) then evaluated doses vs that outcome.
The Army found D levels declined after entry due to uniform wear.
I feel bad for submarine crews.
I’d argue that a single dose recommendation for several hundred million people with different lifestyles in different climates is puerile. Dose to a serum standard.
8 years ago i suffered from severe Depression but doctors were laughing at me when i said i want to get my vitD levels measured. My Level was at
6ng/ml ! They stopt laughing when the saw the numbers. I started taking high doses and my Depression vanished rapidly. Thank you Internet!
Good luck. And help others do the same whenever possible. I'll do the same,thanks for posting.
Absolutely me too. Depressed in winter most of all.
Bless you! Depression is brutal. I think I am now on the other side of it also.
!! YES. I was never depressed until early adulthood... Thought it was just the added stresses in life. Went to a naturopath and she tested my vitD levels. I was also floating around 6-8ng/ml. Started supplementing and my depression poofed. Was remarkable.
what was the dosage?
Why would big pharma want healthy populations who do not need expensive meds daily? This is why this info is not widely promoted - Vit D is wayaayyy too cheap and easy to make people healthy.

I don't understand why this is being pushed, in large amounts daily it has the potential to calcify the blood and become a neurotoxin.

Thank you! ✝️❤️
Somehow mid-Africa is doing better than a lot of the world. Yet black communities in North America have been disproportionately affected by covid. So I can't help but wonder if levels of Vit-D is a more major factor than scientists currently think 🤔
EDIT: Nm, he covers it at 30:34 :D
The US organizations that publish the lies about COVID are also the ones pushing the "non-whites suffer most" narrative. It's highly suspect.
@@pauldilley8974 I wonder if that's because a lot of people in Africa are on the unmentionable medication to prevent malaria.
How are you doing today
@I IWhite people get fibroids, though.
I am 86 years of age and take 12,000 IU a day of vitamin D3 and one K2 per 6000 IU of D3 at this time of year. I increase my D3 in winter to 18.000 IU a day.
I can't remember the last time I had a cold or felt ill at all! I don't understand why D3 isn't investigated to reflect all the good it does for human health! You Sir,
are providing a great and wonderful service to all who tune into your episodes!
Good to hear that! I started taking it ~6 yrs ago and haven't had any flu symptoms since, and this of course includes covid. (Have & will not take any substances into my body that are pushed heavily on us by our govts.)
The reason for keeping vitamin D in darkness is that it'd destroy the current business model of the pharma complex (incl. national health institutions, as they're in bed with pharma).

I have started vitamin D3 4000 ie for two weeks now. My arthritis pain throughout my whole body has improved 85 percent. I'm so thrilled. Thank you! Also fatigue has improved 60 percent I'd say. I am a senior, fair complected and live in North Michigan snow belt. This has been a wonderful gift.
If you are overweight then you need more d3.
incredible to hear 💕
@ Irish Roze been takin 8.000 vitamin D and its made no difference to my Arthritis and my fatigue is really bad, l believe what you say and the doctor, Maybe it's because l don't take the K2 due to my aspirin
Fellow N. Michiganian! So glad you’re feeling better with increased Vitamin D, it’s amazing, isn’t it?! I’ve upped mine this second winter. So far so good. Best to you 💖
That's really great news and very encouraging, thank you for sharing. I was taking 2,000 but I'm going to start taking 4,000.
I’m a nutritionist and all I could think when they discussed those at risk for severe Covid was that they were the same populations at risk for vitamin D deficiency. I was shocked no one else seemed to pick up on it.
Many people did pick it up. John was very late to the party with this one.
Agree
Same here. Before covi I had clients on 5000 IU D3/K2 daily and some sun every day if possible. When it started, I had some of them go get blood levels checked and upped if they were below 30.
@@TheHazchic
Well done you.
Did you explain to them why you were doing that?
I'm worried that those who knew didn't want to say anything for fear of being called racist. Its a shame that being politically correct may have gotten in the way of helping people. My husband is black, and I made sure to let him know and get him on Vitamin D. I let my in laws and some of my coworkers who are black know as well. No point in people getting worse disease or dieing because I was worried to say something. Same with people who have poor diets due to poverty and are impacted by Covid. There are those who would say we can't shame people or blame them for it. No but we could educate them to help them. We could distribute vitamins in certain communities. I struggle with obesity. I get people not wanting to fat shame. But I would have preferred to be told how much obesity impacts Covid outcomes. I like people to be sensitive and kind to others, but not to the point of concealing truth and useful information.
Can I just say how much I love the fact that Dr. Campbell is so open to change based on new scientific evidence. This man has truly learned to avoid confirmation biases, narratives, and echo chambers. The rest of the world could learn a few things from him! Bravo sir!

Well frankly, he is very late to the party on this issue.
Why would I listen to “experts” who are not telling me about (or outright suppressing) the kind of information listed below? Why would I NOT listen to doctors who have treated thousands of high risk patients with almost no deaths (Zelenko, McCullough, etc.)
From the NIH:
“The qualitative synthesis indicated that vitamin D deficient individuals were at higher risk of COVID-19 infection as compared to vitamin D sufficient patients. The pooled analysis showed that individuals with Vitamin-D deficiency were 80% more likely to acquire COVID-19 infection as compared to those who have sufficient Vitamin D levels (OR = 1.80; 95%CI: 1.72, 1.88). Begg's test also revealed that there was no significant publication bias between the studies (P = 0.764). The subgroup analysis revealed that the risk of acquiring COVID-19 infection was relatively higher in the case-control study design (OR = 1.81).”
By “sufficient” they mean over 30, whereas most experts on vitamin D recommend having a level over 50, which would probably provide even better protection.

“ Another group of researchers in Spain gave vitamin D3 (calcifediol) to patients admitted to the COVID-19 wards of Barcelona’s Hospital del Mar. About half the patients received vitamin D3 in the amount of 21,280 IU on day one plus 10,640 IU on days 3, 7, 15, and 30. Those that received vitamin D fared significantly better, with only 4.5 percent requiring ICU admission compared to 21 percent in the no-vitamin D group.
Vitamin D treatment also significantly reduced mortality, with 4.7 percent of the vitamin D group dying at admission, compared to 15.9 percent in the non-vitamin D group.”

From the NIH:
“The study data clearly show that a significant number of COVID-19 patients were zinc deficient. These zinc deficient patients developed more complications, and the deficiency was associated with a prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality.”
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7482607/
That’s just two nutrients, totaling about $15 per month. Add quercetin and vitamin c and the effect is even greater. That’s not to mention HCQ, ivermectin, regeneron, and dozens of other herbal and nutritional supplements that are widely available.
But I’m going to listen to people who have suppressed most of that information, have a financial interest in vaccines, an obvious need to control people’s behavior, and have never treated a single Covid-19 patient? Count me out.
I am not a physician but I am a statistics and research geek. This is TOP SHELF information! Thanks Doc!
Good to see him warning of the dangers of so called 'vegetable oils' that are really oils extracted by multiple chemical processes in huge factories.
I always substitute the vegetable oil in my dinner recipes with olive oil (heart healthy) instead. Or other oils, such as avocado oil or coconut oil (doesn't have a coconut taste at all. Fantastic to soften your hair too). I like to use the natural oils instead. I will use coconut oil when baking stuff. If its baking bread, then I will use the olive oil.
Sue as: Olive oil works fine in cakes instead of fat or butter . I think coconut oil is high in cholesterol ? We just eat more cake!
I challenge anyone to find any vegetables used in the process...
@@gillyorath6182 Coconut oil is high in saturated fat, so it can potentially raise LDL. However new research suggests that this isn’t a health risk for most people. So it’s controversial, but I would choose coconut oil over highly processed vegetable oil.
Yes. They are chemical factory created and processed seed oils, highly unstable and highly inflammatory. One of the chemical processes is sanitization: removing the stink - it's rancid already. Never ever consume them. New research (into the dangers of seed oils) strongly suggests that they might be the major driver of the west's cancer epidemic.
Thanks, Dr. John for continuing talking about Vit D. I've always taken Vit d for years. But only at 5000iu per day when I remembered to even take it. When covid started I went to 10000iu per day. Got tested and was at 40m/l. Thought that wasn't good enough, so increased it to 15000iu per day. Again test at 72n/l. Since I have multiple comorbidities and wanted more for fighting covid, so I increased to 20000 per day. of Vit d. Again tested and it was 101 n/l. A short time later I caught covid, suffered from only 2 days low-grade fever, then 1.5 -2 weeks reduced ability to taste and smell. I also took Quercetin, zinc, Vit c and berberine, and also magnesium. I credit all of these to help fight off the virus. Update, had several people ask about Vit K. Yes, my Vit D has K in it, wouldn't take Vit D without it.
Berberin, as in the stomach flu drug? Just checking as I have some but don't know when to use it :D
Does your body assimilates harder Vitamin D? Do you have a problem with you gallbladder?
Only if you has the vaccine also
20000 iu daily will cause probs eventually. Too much.

Not 100 per cent nearer 85 per cent which is a lot better than virtually all our experts. I too hope he is noted.
@@kkz2916 that's because governments don't give a rat's ass care about us. They are only interested in maintaining power for themselves and profiting from it.

Hi Dr. Campbell! It's critically important to differentiate between vitamin K2, which the paper is recommending, and vitamin K1, which is what governments and multivitamins usually refer to when they refer to "vitamin K." Vitamin K2 is not found in measurable amounts in green leafy vegetables like Vitamin K1. Vitamin K2 is found in fermented foods and some animal products - goose liver pate and Gouda cheese, for example - so it is much less easily derived from a healthy diet. What we don't want is to increase vitamin K1, because that is implicated in increased clotting of the blood, contraindications with prescription blood thinners and increased clotting risks. The dosage suggested by the paper you highlighted is for K2 specifically, not all-inclusive "Vitamin K" which usually means K1.
Love you and your channel! Keep up the great work.
Excellent point, I will clarify this. We need to eat more fermented foods I guess.
Vit K2 m7?
Goose liver and cheese are very healthy options. Much more than rabbit food.
@@Campbellteaching
Not necessarily. A tablet will do so more predictably.
@@hedydd2 fermented foods also provide other health benefits.
I'm so angry right now about our politicians in Austria who are doing nothing other than forcing vaccination to fight this pandemic.

He isn't a doctor.
He knows nothing about vitamin D or other nutrition.
He was reading from a very poor study.
@@dr.j6747
Ooops! You missed my meaning totally.
I have no intention of telling you anything.
Just your profusion of worshipful gushing comments kinda stood out so I wrote what I wrote for others to see, that's all.
Don't worry I am sure John the ex nurse knows exactly what I think about him and I really am not the kind of person who would make complaints to RUclips any more than I would write effusive comments like yours.
The other thing that stood out out is that if this video really was 'one of the very best, most exciting, and hopeful Vit. D
presentations' you 'have ever had the privilege to see', you too must have been pretty clueless about vit D3 yourself and what stands out now is that you don't understand that Calcifediol is a metabolite of D3 rather than a derivative (but I guess that is an English language error).
At what point did I say there was not evidence supporting the usefulness of vit D3 when it comes to Covid-19, or any other respiratory illness?
I have been taking it as a supplement for over 25 years but I'd best not explain all the other reasons I have for having done that for fear of the effect it may have on you.
I take it you also read the study but unlike me thought it was perfectly sound.
I have been explaining the benefits of D3 to many people for many years but I'd not use such a poor study with which to do it!
I can only assume that as a Behavioural Medicine practitioner that you can see the mass psychosis that is happening but it's not apparent that you do.
Call the ex nurse a doctor by all means if it makes you feel good.
@@misstangentina8552 Well said... and all true! Btw, funny how people don't even bother to read John Campbell's About Page, where he himself clearly states, quote: _"I am a retired Nurse Teacher and A and E nurse."_ But he then sticks "Dr" in front of his name KNOWING that everyone will think he's a genuine medical doctor, as opposed to just obtaining a PhD, which wasn't even connected to medicine but was, quote: _"focused on the development of open learning resources for nurses nationally and internationally."_ 🤦♂️
I agree much of this is great info, but I do hear him stress he takes much of his supplements weekly ..not daily like so many people do! Also, how many people that add these vitamins etc know their genetic weakness toward autoimmune diseases like Sarcoidosis. Without going into the complexity of just this one disease and hyper-calcification and the "hormone D" ...please Dr. call it what it is ..a hormone not a Vitamin! I'll never forget my dear granny that lived 95 long and healthy years swearing against all supplementation and always reminding us to EAT our vitamins and not eat these strangely colored oddly sweetened so called VITAMINS. Why can't we get more supplements FDA approved and watched. Many of these multicolored sweet bits are just what they are ..sweets. Find a local farmer that grows organic veggies OR better yet dabble in your own garden like we do! How many of us out here know our genetics well enough to take such high amounts that are suggested here? A healthy diet and a nice 20 minute walk, even on a not quite super sunshiny day will keep us healthy and strong without having to "hit the bottle" unless you have been seriously tested for some of the diseases that are directly affected by too much D, calcium, K etc. Is it possible the gov't worries that you could do harm by using these high amounts of supplements ..and these vague referral's of papers being made here? Eat healthy and take lots of walks!

It is mentioned in the comment above yours John.
He is an ex nurse and was a trainer of nurses.
He is entitled to use the term 'Doctor' because he has a Phd but he has never been a medical doctor.
Dr. John, you are a breath for sanity in times of ambiguity!
I worked at 3 hospitals during the pandemic, two now, still haven't caught COVID (knock on wood). I took tons of Vitamin D. My dad is 87 and my mother is 81. Both healthy and no medication at all. My mom promoted vitamins throughout my childhood. Doctors never talk about supplements until you're deficient. So disturbing how they ignore the benefits.
Hello Xochilt, have you gave a thought about the fact you may have had it already but with no symptoms?
@Xochilt Rodriquez Hi, you say you took "tons" of Vit.D - may I ask how much? I've been dithering over taking 1,000 iu per day (called "High Strength" on the bottle), thinking it might be too much, and I'm now hearing that we should be taking much more, ie 4,000-10,000 iu!! How on earth is the lay person supposed to know?!
@@westjes639 I take 4k a day. My level is 40 with supplements. I work inside...
@@westjes639 Hello Pat I take 10k since I don't go outside at all and fight depression with it (5 years clean). You should eat liver or take K2 pills too :) Have fun!
How much D3 are you taking?
My husband got the flu 3 flu seasons in a row. He just thought it was because of his age. The last time he got the flu it developed into pneumonia. Finally, they checked his Vitamin D levels and they were low. He started supplementing with 5000 IU a day and he hasn't had the flu (or anything else) since.
Same her, except I was lucky with pneumonia I got treatment just in time. this week the daily express says this vitamin is harmful I wonder why.
As Dr John Bergman said years ago.. there is no such thing as flu season but a low vitamin D season
I have had MS for 40 odd years and have been convinced about Vit D
for almost that long but now realise the need for Vitamin K2.
However, not being chemically-minded, I am seriously struggling to understand the numerous ways of describing amounts. They are here suggested quickly and often in several different formats, so my notes result in confused messes. It doesn't help when the advertised supplements are described in what seem like even more different ways. Help needed!
@@dannesys I take the strongest one 10,000 IU one day and a vit d3 &k2 multi vitamin the next and so on.

Dr John, thank you for this. The FLCCC and IVM crowd has allready advise us to use vit D3. I make sure to be bare chested for at least 30min everyday. Fortunately we have LOTS of sun everyday. But I do keep vitD3 supplements at standby for incase we do contract the covid virus.
Thank you for fighting the good fight.
Regards.
One idea for making sure a doctor tests for vitamin D levels. Tell the doctor you’re already taking 20,000 IU a day. When the doc gasps and says “you’ll overdose!!” Say “well please let’s test my blood to see if I am in danger.” 😂
I see you that you are wise in navigating the doctocracy.
Good idea. In some areas of US drs do not test vitamin d. Sad!
I just had my blood work done and my vitamin D level was at 102 which is a point or 2 higher than the limit. I take 20,000 in a day, 64 years old without vaccines. I feel great. Eat right, get enough sleep and intermittent fasting from time to time. No junk food
I was advised by my respectable, nice university doctor to take 5000 IU a day and she supports my plant based eating, lifestyle and fine with me getting vaccine and I been fine so far. Thank God!
@@laurel7570 Not sure they test for it here in the UK either?.. My surgery gave me a blank look when I enquired, and then told me only if I were ill and it was asked by the GP would I be able to my D3 levels tested. Very disappointing.

Filled with vital, life-saving information, spiced with a smidgen of sassy spot-on sensibility! Love this, Dr. Campbell. ❤ These videos just keep getting better and better. It's difficult to comprehend why this information is still not widely disseminated, even two years into this pandemic - when it has been known for eons.

Its weird, in the US, we say vYtamin
And UK, they say vIHtamin😁
😍 😀 yeah..you nailed it...He's pretty cool 😎 👌
What pandemic?
Thank you for calling out medical negligence like it is! Ensuring their patients have healthy Vitamin D levels should be the bare minimum for medical professionals especially during a pandemic!
I've been able to order a 1 💊 10,000 IU and K2 coming.today. Think I won't have have to take many pills.
You are a gracious and credible voice of reason, sanity, and common sense at a time when not much of this exists. I love your comment. Did you know? It is reported, "There are over 34,000 scientific investigations to date on how vitamin D works in your body, yet it continues to be ignored by large segments of the population and even many physicians..... If you use optimal levels of vitamin D as your standard for deficiency, you find that approximately 90 percent of people fail to achieve optimal vitamin D levels.... Once thought of as only playing a role in certain diseases, researchers now realize that vitamin D affects virtually every cell and tissue in your body. And it affects numerous vitamin D receptors located throughout your body and nearly 3,000 genes. Your cells need the active form of vitamin D to unlock the genetic blueprints stored inside the cell."
The old adage " An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" certainly seems to apply here. As usual, another great and informative presentation from Dr. Campbell, thank you sir!
I love that adage. I hadn't heard it before.Applies perfectly.👍

Our "Health Care" system is purely reactionary trash and pretended all known ways to mitigate a virus and aid the immune system have never existed.... other than some novel fake vaxx
Thank you thank you. 75, just diagnosed with osteoporosis, fairly advanced. This is the first place I've come across that has such great information regarding D3, calcium, etc.
“OSHA Suspends Enforcement of Vaccine Mandate After Court Block”- 11/17/21
That is the best explanation of the importance of Vitamin D that I have ever seen. Very relatable to us non medical viewers. Thank you thank you!!!
A point to note is that the protective nature of K2 was only confirmed by science around 2003 - so doctors have to catch up with the latest science. That's why doctors are usually over cautious on D3 - their training is out of date.
I learned about D3 in medical school in the 70s and 80s.
What science, exactly?
@@rlkinnard So you can confirm that the guidelines have changed little since then.
K2 carboxylates osteocalcin and activates matrix GLA protein. K2 is the calcium manager - and we used to get more K2 from food than today.
by 50 years
@@Jay...777 People were taught about D3 and I do not think that there is much change since the 80s. I cannot remember the exact status of the guidelines, but I doubt that they have changed much. I have taken D3 supplements for decades.
K2 is certainly something new and the recommendations are evolving.
The Last I looked, most of the studies were done in Japan on this vitamin. I first read about K2 in the early 2000s.
Very few doctors and medical practitioners have taken the extra mile to discuss, present medical research and evidence in a comprehensive manner like you do. Thank you for everything that you do; very informative, relevant, and evidence-based content in this channel.
Excellent video on Vitamin D. You're right about the questions in the end; why indeed.
Your work is so appreciated John. People just don't believe what I tell them, even though I am trained in nutrition and can cite many of the papers referenced in this one. I shall be sharing this, I just pray people watch it. With gratitude.
Same problem here,people don't like cheap and simple,period. And still more believe "the authorities" than anybody.
Also media isn't helping. This video was placed on my fb page with warning from Facebook that if I do it again I might get "punished"!?

Lucinda what dose of Vit D would you recommend as I find all products have confusing amounts on the bottle. I don’t seem to be able to relate the quantities that John is recommending . Thank you
@@judegould8743 Hi Jude, what country do you live in? Here in the UK I can get 4,000 iu, which makes it much easier!
So in that instance, depending on how much daylight, your skin tone etc., you can take one tablet a day (4,000 iu), or if you wanted 6,000 iu, then one a day then 2 every other day, to that you are getting 6,000 overall during the week, etc... Hope that helps! :)
100% agree with everything you say. Have noticed a massive difference in my health since raising my vitamin D levels. Have helped many people with chronic sinusitis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis have a better quality of life by increasing their vitamin D levels. Learned a lot about K2. Thank you. You are incredible
Vitamin D is really cool because it helps other vitamins be absorbed in the small intestine, too! You've gotta get a little fat with your Vitamins (A, D, E, & K) for them to be properly absorbed. If you pop a krill or flaxseed oil capsule with your D3/K2, you may get even more health benefits from it. :)
This is not a question of opinion though. These are facts. 😅
What did you do? Take a supplement? Go outside more? Fake lighting inside? Thanks in advance! :)
@@princesskileyrae You are on a very healthy track!!! Remember K2 (from MK7) is considered the better choice to take with Vit D3 and proper level of Magnesium (Mg) will assist with better absorption of the D. If Mg is too low, you can lose up to 50% absorption of your D.
@@dr.j6747 If I’m taking 6000 iu of Vit D and 200 mg of Vit K daily what should I be taking daily of Magnesium?
I remember watching a video from a Dr. Ryan Cole in the US late last year who was advocating the widespread use of Vitamin D as a means of improving immunity in the population, especially in northern latitudes. He was roundly dismissed. I have watched many of your videos and if I'm honest you don't get angry enough over issues such as this! You mentioned "negligence" in your presentation and I whole heartedly agree. This is a scandal of epic proportions. I wonder how many care home residents would still be here had they been given high doses of D3 as soon as the pandemic started? This should be a major public health initiative and PHE should be recommending high dose D3 and K2 for all care home / nursing home residents. The powers that be seem to be aware of this but are doing nothing about it!
The pandemic is holding up a mirror to humanity's present "reality" and it is quite shocking.
In a sense it is a gift. The possibility to improve "lies" in seeing the gnarly truth
@free2think Unfortunately it's a general lack of anger in the medical community and the population as a whole that results in us sleepwalking into a potential disaster. I agree that Dr. Campbell is ethical and gentle in his approach and perhaps he is wise in not becoming demonstrably angry but that does nothing to change the policies coming from our public health officials who are also supposed to have our best interests at heart. A simple directive back in early 2020 recommending that people take Vitamin D3 supplements and prescribing the same to care home residents could potentially have saved many lives, but this advice was never given. Fauci admitted on national tv that he takes 8-9,000IU of D3 every day. He knows that's what people should do to boost their immune system but fails to make it policy. I am sure Chris Whitty in the UK knows this too and he also fails to tell the population to supplement. As Dr. Campbell said, this smacks of "negligence". So I guess I'll get angry on Dr. Campbell's behalf, whilst knowing that my anger will make no difference whatsoever!!
Dr. Campbell is an example to all Doctors out there in the absurd times. I love his breakdown on studies as well. I hope he morphs his channel is health studies, supplements, drug breakdowns when the pandemic is over. I really like his approach. Thank you!
He isn't a doctor and he knows nothing about nutrition but don't worry, he had the channel long before Covid and will have it long after, if he is still around.
Thank u Dr Campbell for all the info. I have been taking vit D3 for years now n also vit C n I never even gets colds or sore throats. They are both excellent. Since covid I added zinc n vit k.

@@JTSA1234 Yes, we must stay informed and aware of what is in our best interests.
@@JTSA1234 My ex-husband is in the same boat. I'm his caregiver and manage his complicated meds. When COVID hit I started giving him 100mcg of K and Omega 3 and increased his D3 to 5000 units. In spite of several comorbidities, he hasn't even had a cold. He's been vaxed and boosted. But new diagnosis of AFib requires Eliquis, and they said stop the Omega. So, Juli, keep up the K and D and a good multi. Best wishes.
I listened to you, Dr. John, at the beginning of COVID in Jan/Feb 2020 about the importance of vitamin D, and I then increased my D3 intake to 4,000 units per day. When I got COVID in April 2020, my symptoms were fairly light. I had a dry cough, I had one night of having to prop myself up to be able breathe and sleep at night, prickling sensation in my lungs at the back, and was uncomfortable up to three days and then I was okay again. And I attribute my not being heavily affected by COVID to the vitamin D levels I had increased, so I want to 💚 THANK YOU 💚 for the heads up you gave us right from the beginning.
I am still taking 4,000 units of D3 per day but I will probably increase that to 6,000 units since it's now winter and gets darker early (Canada). And I already had some K2 in my cabinet prescribed to me over a year ago, which I had stopped taking b/c I didn't really understand their purpose, but I think I will resume 200 mcg of those each day. I have ulcerative colitis, so that's my additional motivation to be ready for any more COVID. And I'm 60 years old now, so it makes sense to be properly prepared. I take the information you give to heart b/c it seems wise to. God bless.
I hope you take only 200ug of K2, not 200mg.
Good Morning Claudia,
Thankful to hear you had a relatively tolerable course with COVID-19.
Consider investigating a water-soluble D3. There is a great advantage in using a water-soluble form of Vitamin D3, especially for individuals with absorption issues.
Concerned Global Citizen,
Glad you are well Claudia. Hopefully now you have long lasting natural immunity aswell 🤞

No wonder they don't promote vitamin therapy....there's no money to be made out of it.
@@paulinehannon4514 The fault falls onto medical professionals. Vitamins are too simple solution for anything, so they easily fall under the label "alternative medicine". And if significance of it is not promoted already during the education, they remain unaware of those effects.

I have been ill the past year or so, which has not been fully diagnosed, but one of the tests highlighted a very high Vitamin D deficiency. I was advised by my doctor to take over-the-counter Vitamin D. I asked the pharmacist for the high-strength ones and sold 25ug/1,000IU. I initially felt a little better over the coming weeks but I was still feeling unwell. When having a conversation with my brother about my situation he said that I should look to take 250ug/10,000IU (he's not a doctor, just informed about current science). Since taking said daily dose, I have been feeling so much better and most of my symptoms have disappeared. So glad to have found this video to explain what the vitamin does and the significance of the dosage. I am just a little disappointed that my doctor didn't actually prescribe a certain amount to take, especially when I asked him at the time. I am glad to have found your channel.
Same here. I’ve always had back pain and shoulders pain for years and years . I have been taking Vitamin D3 5000IU for the past six months but did not get the results I wanted. I mainly did for my fatty liver. But two weeks ago when I hurt my back at the gym I went home feeling this dull pain in my back. When I upped my vitamin d3 from 5000iu to 10,000IU in two hours my sore back was gone.. I felt really good and I it’s been one month now and I will continue to take my Vitamin D3 from now on. Whenever I’m sore a bit and I just take vitamin d3 and pain goes away in 2-3 hours ..
This speaks so well to the state of our collective medical systems, their mind sets are to do crisis management, but NOT health care, respecting the creator's creation and learning exactly what our bodies need to perform optimally. Sad that this kind of thing is so unknown even by our medical Doctors. So Sad.

Been saying to anyone who will listen for about 10 years now just how important vitamin D optimisation is. It's absolutely critical to good health.
I was tested about 5 years ago for low thyroid. When the bloodwork came back, my Vit D levels were very, very low. My doc put me on Vit D3 10,000 units/day. The next year I had a higher reading, but still low. 5 years later, I am finally getting close to a normal range. I take a medical grade--only have to take 1 tablet (it contains the K2 also) as well as a medical grade B complex. It has made a huge difference in my energy, clear-headedness. My thyroid function has improved as well.
@ suzette. I take 50,000 iu from Amazon, (one pill) and 300 mcg.-k2,M7.. I no longer have sleep apnea, also my vitiligo is going away.
To see @albo Athony Albanese. Vitami D. Good for a LOT of things. Particularly immunity. 👍
Government have to justify the unpublished costs to the public of the various vaccines they jumped on. Especially the last dud PM 🇦🇺
You can't get to high levels unless you are metabolically healthy. Fasting 72-96h at a time will help there, and also with the thyroid. Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data:
Fribrosis/scarring is reversed. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system.
Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic.
Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque.
Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy!
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus.
Fasting is beneficial for all infections but especially for viral infections:
ruclips.net/video/hriuvUjOTM0/видео.html
Is fasting just the same as caloric restriction? No! Dieting increases the hunger hormone ghrelin while fasting decreases it and has many other health benefits! ruclips.net/video/sVl-nilhWLc/видео.html
What breaks a fast? ruclips.net/video/7aRLsCpxy3o/видео.html
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and builds muscle!
ruclips.net/video/fJUDucBWv4s/видео.html
Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS.
Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! ruclips.net/video/BeC_gIR2Z14/видео.html
The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, it never uses mainly glucose for fuel and using glucose for fuel is very biochemically damaging! ruclips.net/video/Nf1jwMbvNxw/видео.html
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses.
Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: ruclips.net/video/5RM8GRzsIIg/видео.html
Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention!
Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging.
Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting.
Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow.
Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period.
Fasting reverses metabolic syndrome, which is tightly correlated to Chronic Fatiguque Syndrome, high blood pressurecancer and many other chronic diseases.
Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Make sure to include magnesium with that so that the vitamin D goes to the areas of the body it should. 'Medical grade' is not superior. In fact, it can be very much inferior as this would be manufactured by a pharmaceutical company, most likely made from petroleum byproducts.
When choosing a supplement company, do a search as to who the shareholders of the supplement company are. You will find that the majority are now owned by pharmaceutical companies and / or their subsidiaries. Look for independent supplements manufacturing companies, as local to your area as possible, which use food-grade (not 'medical grade') sources of vitamins & minerals. There is no reason it should take over a year to increase your vitamin D levels if taking a quality supplement. At the moment, I take up to 40,000 IU / day, plus vitamin K2, PLUS magnesium, along with many other supplements.
"Such a simple intervention. Why isn't this being done?"
Do we have to ask by now, Dr. Campbell? I think this pandemic has made the state of regulation pretty obvious.
Only interventions which make lots of bank for big pharma will be recommended by regulators. Anything cheap will not.

Vitamin D widely ignored?!? In this 'pandemic' I'd be suppressed if it was widely publicised, and any other cure outside of vaccines.
And we wonder why people are suspicious of our governments/big pharms actions over this pandemic... obviously lives don't matter (despite death rates being used as a club to bash everyone into compliance). They haven't even released the patent for the vaccines so they can be mass produced across the world.
How about putting everyone into lockdowns in their homes... will that increase vit D intake?!? Hmmm....
They don't really care about us, this is all I can conclude.
What pandemic?
And the US government recommends a max of 600 IU of vitamin D...imagine how many problems they are causing.
Good question regarding why this is not promoted by governments....well Dr. Campbell here is our prior Minister of Health in Canada (elected Liberal) regarding Vitamin D at 35 seconds: ruclips.net/video/-SCAZEEYSTs/видео.html Note that she referred to our expert the head of Health Canada who gets her orders from the WHO.

@@Fiery.Dragon great comment you are absolutely right and it is great to hear someone actually talking about the food we eat. Most important fuel for the body is nutritious real food full of all the vitamins & minerals it needs to stay as healthy & virus free as possible. I would go for organic wherever possible and best still, out of our own back garden or plant pots! Soil has been depleted of many vital minerals (selenium for instance, which is vital for a healthy immune system) over the past 50 years and with the advent of GMO crops and chemically laden pesticides it makes sense to grow your own or go organic on some of the most pesticide laden veggies.

@@biebsproblem Unfortunately, it takes about 6 months to get your levels to where they need to be.
25:33 - Sadly, I think we all know the answer. I took Dr. Campbell's advice a year ago, and began a Vitamin D regimen of 5,000 IU in the summer and 10,000 IU in the winter. I went from being deficient to 51 ng/mL at a recent check. I will now add the Vitamin K2. Thank you Dr. Campbell! BTW - My Doctor told me that insurance may not cover the Vitamin D blood test. I told him that I didn't care - I'll pay for it.
My friend and I just ordered home test kits for Vitamin D, which are available in the US for under $50 a pop. We're a little nervous about squeezing blood droplets out of our fingers, but reviews indicate that if we can get past that hurdle, the test results should be accurate.
I am from Kenya in East Africa and we were raised on roots and herbs, fresh fish exposed to lots of sunshine and farming activities, My grandmother used to say that our traditional diet would boost our immunity..I am 54 and never been admitted to a hospital ..am eating lots of cream cakes nowadays living in the capital city ..and less traditional foods😅Thank you Dr. Campbell, I am a professional philosopher and your videos and analysis are excellent.

I never took Vit D3 prior to 2019 and when I started I noticed a very pleasant mood increase.
I was feeling more focused ,less stressed.
Which one do you take?
Same. I have previously been diagnosed with depression and general anxiety disorder. About a month after afterting vit D (it was low so doc gave 50k a week + 3k daily) I started to feel better mentally. It got up to 30 after 12 weeks. Now I just take 4k a day to maintain and increase
@@kristymarie6065 Sorry if I replied late but didn't see your comment.
Any vitamin D3 supplement will be ok if it's made in the correct way.
Every supplement manufacturer gets the D3 in pure form ( liquid or powder ) and then dilutes it for the final user to consume.
I take 4000iu daily but will probably go to 2000iu as I used to do in 2019.
@@dimmacommunication take with k2. K2 helps the vit D where to go
I'm in western australia. after watching these video's I went to all of my local pharmacies/supermarkets and could only find maximum1000 Vit D bottles on the shelf everywhere. So I purchased a brand online: Vit D 4000 + K2 100. Started taking one a day plus another zinc supplement. Then I got a blood test from my gp to check my vit d number. The Gp office called me and said 'Your Vit D level is too low (@56) and the doc recommended me a Brand tablet twice a day for a month then once daily therafter. I googled the brand...and it's only 1000. No mention of Vit K from the doc surgery.
I have decided to double my dosage to 8000 Vit D/200K2 daily for a month in preparation for our border opening. This makes complete sense to me.
In Louisiana, USA early in the pandemic there was a startling discovery. Everyone in that state who died of COVID was low or critically low on vitamin D. My doctor had me go from 5,000 IU to 10,000 IU when I got COVID.

Why aren’t governments doing studies to show the benefits of Vitamin D? Because there’s more incentive to keep people sick and dependent on big pharma drugs. It’s about power, and remaining in power. And to do so they need the best way to control the population, which is through dependency and total submission. And an ignorant/uninformed population is the path to this continued “success”. Thank you for keeping up with your great content, doctor. We need it 👊🏻

Interesting situation. In Australia we have had high infection rates in Melbourne which is down south and virtually none in Queensland up north. Melbourne has had a very depressing winter with very little sunlight whereas Queensland has had high levels of sunshine. This would tend to confirm that Vitamin D does indeed play a very significant role in warding off Covid. Unfortunately we have useless politicians claiming the vaccines are the panacea that lead us to freedom and ignore the fact that there are other measures that combat the virus.
Also you've been living in the most locked down city in the world, probably the worst thing for your immune system and vitamin D levels!
you need all the tools not one instead of the other. Vaccine + Vit D + Zink + Selenium + calcium
@@britmka1 Nothing wrong being locked down and sitting in your garden every day reading the internets
I'd imagine that Oz and others in places that have plenty of sunshine, peeps tend to avoid the sun or wear sunblock. So it might be advisable to have some sun before hiding up or taking supplements.

In August 2020, my PA recommended that I begin taking Vitamin D3 and Zinc in high doses. In November 2020 I contracted Covid, but even with several risk factors, I had a mild case. You have confirmed how wise she was in putting me on these supplements. I agree with you in not understanding why the government mouthpieces don't encourage the use of supplements that boost immunity. Makes me wonder how much influence the drug companies have in the halls of government.
criminal influence...no less
Just to let you know,. Many of former Pzifer employees and member of the board are now in the FDA the federal agency tasked to authorize and scrutinize the safety of the medicines sold in the USA. Conversely former employees of the FDA are currently running Pzifer. Bad as this is, it get's worse: pharmaceutical companies control indirectly many media companies through their advertising (particularly Fox News which incidentally is the less evil of the lot). And big pharma also have a massive influence on the government to the point that there is no clear indication who controls who. The NHS and the FDA have been pumping wrong information (particularly regarding nutrition) and medical practices on behalf of big pharma for decades.

Bang On 👍
A great presentation on Vit D. One comment I would like to add is that when you talk about Vit K in foods near the end, it should be emphasized that it is K2 (menaquinone) specifically that is being talked about as the study itself points out. Vitamin K1 is the most common source that is present primarily in plant foods like leafy green vegetables. Vitamin K2, on the other hand, is found in animal products and fermented foods. Foods high in this vitamin include meat, dairy and natto. It is also produced by the beneficial bacteria in your gut microbiome. Most people do not get sufficient K2 even from animal sources and if you are vegetarian or vegan you definitely will be deficient, so supplementation is the safest bet.
I just discovered your site today and have watched several videos and will definitely be back for more. Thank you.
*grass fed* because grass contains K1 which animals (and to some extent humans) convert to K2.
As a vegan I will definitely be upping my intake of fermented foods daily and supplement with k2 as I up my vitamin D.
@@Fyloeu k1 comes from green leafy vegetables and you convert that into k2. Animals already done the conversion to k2. Green leafy vegetables are extremely nutrient dense and the best on the planet.
I say that as someone whose studied nutrition x3 times at x3 universities and a vegan
Thank you, John, for bringing this revelatory study to us and explaining it so well. I'll start taking my Vitamin D/K2 again daily. Perhaps I get enough Vitamin D in summer because among other outdoor activities I drive a convertible. But now it's winter. All the more important to take those daily winter walks with the dog, the neighbor, the family. Anyway, I'll inform my internist of this study (as we might all consider doing). My MD has a large circle of patients as he also is the company doctor for us and other companies. If such a simple test and readily available supplement can save lives, save suffering, save hospitalisations, it is worth spreading the word as well and as fast as possible. It is so important that we, as patients, take an active role in our health. It is also important that we, as citizens, take an active role in the administration of our health policies and practices. And you are helping us in this regard so valiantly. And you couldn't be more right -- This Vitamin D "thing" is another example of how government has completely failed its citizens, failed to carry out its basic functions such as protecting citizens safety, citizen health, citzens rights and citizens freedoms. It seems that few if any of their policies aim at these fundamental tasks anymore, so no wonder they haven't bothered with this. Our politicians and administrators seem to have "better" things to do -- much of which not only seems to be arrant nonsense, but seems to do us more harm than good. You can't even book a holiday at a good hotel as they are all "occupied". We, the citizens and patients (how prescient this pairing has become under Covid) ought become aware, active and vigilant, and commit to taking best care of our selves, our families, our own communities, and to voting out politicians failing in their basic duties. It seems our lives will depend on it! Anyway, thank you so very much. God bless!
Well said.

Government is not failing citizens. Governments publish peer reviewed studies for BOTH Vitamin D and the vaccines. They are both helpful. The vaccine is much more important than vitamin D. Stop spreading disinformation.

Thanks for any help
@@louarmstrong6128 Hi Lou, from the research i've read and the paper my friend put together, even in the hottest of climates with predominant sunshine most people need supplementation and it will depend on the colour of your skin too, so I recommend supplementation for all my patients and I follow that up with a finger prick blood test for ease to monitor levels. 20 - 30 mins sun exposure a day is suggested. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere the angle of the sun diminishes to around 50 degrees or less in the Autumn/Winter leading to the rays of sunshine we need being depleted. For good health being outside for 30 mins a day is wonderful anyway for everyone and i'd definitely recommend. If you are in hot or very hot climates (and not used to long sun exposure), be sure to spread it out during the day so that you don't over expose yourself in one hit and feel ill, but it sounds like you spread it out during the day anyhow. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water during your day too - stay hydrated, you may not feel dehydrated but you're activity levels and the heat will soon take it's toll. Hope that helps :) have a great day!

Hello Dr. Campbell!
This is my first time to be watching your videos. I am viewing from Papua New Guinea. I just want to thank you for your excellent presentation on Vit.D. I want to share my testimony on the topic of Vitamin D and Covid-19;
As a matter of my fact, my mother fell ill of Covid-19 in November this year, and she was treated symptomatically in which she recovered in two weeks. However, she still complains of weakness and and tiredness after she recovered from covid-19. I advised her of getting morning doses of sunshine (vit.D)in the morning between 6-7am in the mornings. Amazingly, she felt different in just two days! Her energy level is back up and she doesn't complain of feeling fatigue anymore.
Also, thank you for the PDF books, I have just downloaded mine.
May the good Lord bless you with Wisdom to help us more in times of Covid-19 where there is so much confusion in our world today. Cheers

@@janetburns7665 it's made by Solgar 600mg free form. 60 capsules from Amazon uk
I have been taking vit D3 daily for several years, and have not experienced any colds or flu during that time period.
Thank you for confirmation of it's importance. 👏👏
when to take morning or night
@@Manikarnika07 I believe vitamins are best taken in the morning :) ur metabolism slows down at night
@@missaok8092 ok thanks 😀
I do not need authorities to tell me what I should do, but I am thankful that you and others spread this vital information!
You will have an impact, so keep up your valueable work!
I advised my 72 and 79 year old parents to take Vit D, Zink AND a third vaccine dose AND talk to their physician about Fluvoxamin or monoclonal antibodies in case of an infection. You have to learn to take care of yourself and not rely on authorities.
Thank you for taking care of informing so many people, you do probably save lives!

We need more doctors like you! Can you talk about B12 next, another vitamin vital for health that's completely overlooked!
The German word for science is Wissenschaft (WITCHCRAFT). Strange? This language of Babel sure is a joke. Here is something that isn't a joke:
I read the whole bible or cepher and this is what it really says:

@Kelly Head - Oh yes I agree. information about the results of the lack of vitimin B12. would save a lot of older people from going downhill before their time. My husband who was always active and healthy began to have problems with achy legs. Eventually the feeling of numbness got so scary that I had to drive him to A&E. He was fortunate there was a young doctor on duty who had an interest in his condition and suggested he had neuropathy. A course of B12 injections has made all the difference. My father has been on, doctor supervised, B12 injections for about 30 years. He is 95, living independently, in his own home, still driving, shopping and looking after himself. At 66 I have begun taking a one a day B12 pill. Almost immediately I noticed the odd ache or pain I was getting in my aging bones began to disappear. I have no doubt that some info about the benefits of B12 from the good doc would be appreciated by all. .
B vitamins would be an interesting talk for me. Some of the females in my family can't process B vitamins in our body 😬
And the best liver-absorbed B12!
