All medical professionals need to see this video and advocate something more than just washing your hands and social distancing. Boosting our immune system is vital throughout this!
I asked the Canadian government to ask industry to step up the production of Vitamin D-3 and they have DONE nothing to inform the public on this. . . SHAME!
Wow, this Dr. just validated something I have wondered about. After heart attack, three way by pass I quit being outside. One year later I'm diagnosed out of the blue with Advanced RA. Now I have it in my lungs. All the sudden I have allergies, post nasal drip & diagnosed with a lung infection that's not curable. I cough non stop & cough up heavy amounts of phlegm . I could go on. The good part...approx a month ago I remembered I had tested very low in Vit D & magnesium. I started taking 10,000 IU daily. I didn't know the connection between low Vit D levels & respiratory infections. I have noticed a substantial amount less coughing etc. I even feel like a cloud has lifted. I never made the lack of sun & air connection , now I know because I sat in the house for 9 years ! Such good news. No wonder the powers that be are trying to block out the sun !
Hey Dr. Rehl, my name is also Dr.Rehl! Great presentation. I also included some information from OrthoMolecular Products on vitamin K2. Totally important and not to be dismissed. Great work! I highly recommend the book “K2 and the Calcium Paradox“ by Kate Rhéaume-Bleue. 2012.
Hello, my vitamin D is 19.1, I am a ckd stage 2 patient gfr 76 with hematuria 2+ & prot 2+ with prot/cret at 639 could it be because of my low vitamin D, if you can reply I will deeply appreciate it, thanks.
Thank you so much for this presentation. My doc recommended that I take 4000 IUs of D3, and it has helped me. Must admit didn’t take it daily. I paused this video half way through and took a D3 capsule. I have to let my doc know she was spot on. Also when I heard the lecturer talk about cod liver oil...my mind flashed back to those days when it was mandatory for us kids to swallow a tablespoon of that nasty stuff, chased with a quarter orange...daily, up to age 14. I thought my parents were inflicting “cruel and unusual punishment.” However, being African American, that “cruel and unusual punishment” (so I thought) was one of the best things my parents could’ve done for me.
Jen Pollard, how very true. I had an experience when I was building a radio station for a guy a few years ago and we were out in the sun all day. I have been taking Dr Wallach's 90 Essential Nutrients for about 20 years, and I did not burn at all. My friend, who I was building the radio station for, is African American and he was out in the sun working all day just like I was. The bottom line is, he experienced a sunburn, but I did not even though I am white, and so it's more than just getting enough Sun, you have to have your body tuned with all the nutrients needed to keep everything in top-notch condition to convert the serum cholesterol in your skin into Vitamin D3. If you listen to your doctor and he says get off of all cholesterol containing foods, you are headed for disaster or, if you are taking cholesterol reducing drugs, you will be causing Alzheimer's disease and many other problems.
Jen Pollard i was a sick kid and the dr took me off milk and on cod liver oil. Many years later i heard a song by Hamish Imlack called, cod liver oil and the orange juice!
It's good but you should not overdo it. In periods when you need you can take a lot, but more than 4000 for prolonged periods could cause issues. Always check with your doctor, she sounds smart
@@marcofogli4317 Actually, there is ZERO evidence that any dose below 30,000 IUs a day causes harm. There have been cases where people have accidentally taken 2,000,000 IUs a day for weeks, and the symptoms produced were easily fixed just by discontinuing the excessive dose. Just half an hour of sun in summer in Oslo Norway (!) will produce 10,000 to 20,000 IUs of vitamin D in the skin
Yeah I made my son take the cod liver and I used to take the bottle and carefully pour it under the tongue and have a glass of milk to chase it. And if you get the technique just right then you don't even taste it. Milk is a good chaser compared orange juice
Wow!🙏🏾Went to the ER this week Wednesday diagnosed with Bronchitis Dr gave me antibiotics to prevent pneumonia BUT..told me to amp my vitamin D3 up to 5’000 per day until my symptoms are gone😏..then today I see this RUclips Video!...Zinc and high doses of Vitamin C also to fight respiratory virus he said
I was recently diagnosed with severely low levels of Vitamin D (only 8), and am taking 10,000 IU per day. I also had the flu in November and 2 respiratory infections since then prior to the diagnosis. I've been studying up on vitamin D, and what an amazing vitamin. I really enjoyed this presentation. I feel it will also have benefit for those who will or will not get Covid19 and/or the extent of their symptoms.
I was low, even when taking 5,000 IU per day, then even higher up to 10,000 IU (only slightly low)... but it wasn't until I learned to take Vitamin K2 with it, and a Multivitamin more regularly to supplement my poor diet and lack of sun, that my Vitamin D settled down and seemed to work like it should, and my sleeping improved and then everything improved. I have heard plant based is ok, but not as efficient as animal based, so you have to take a little more for same result, so be aware. it is mentioned breifly in this video, but more detailed in some of the other vit D videos that follow ruclips.net/video/fmDng_uMCnY/видео.html
Dr. Rehl you are wonderful, I am a nurse and I have sent this video out to all.my friends and coworkers, you are exactly spot on in your findings, I just wish all medical practioners would consider this approach.
A medical nerd with some health conditions, watching these types of videos to understand her own health problems. Fascinating. It all lines up. Thank you so much for sharing this on RUclips.
About 7 years ago, I started vitamin D dosing. I came about doing it through researching and living through ADHD. At the time I was transferred to a different department in my Company and due to the job's inherent dangers I quickly discovered how my HDHD could get me severely injured or killed if I don't do something about my lack of mindfulness and brain fog. Up to that point I've learned life skills to help me manage it. Albeit I also take other supplements but I do truly believe that once I started the vitamin D the brain fog disappeared. My ability to concentrate dramatically improved. Most of if not all of the associated issues of ADHD have disappeared so much so that one would be hard pressed to define what is a norm and what is not. I just wanted to share this is my personal experience and testimony to Vitamin D supplementation. That being said, I've been with the same organization for 8 years. I am now a team leader. I am truly blessed and I also know that medicine and vitamins are not a cure all, we need spirituality and guidance from caring people to make our lives work.
Thank you sir I've had magior heart surgery and have respiratory issues so been taking vitamin D3 for a couple of years and I think it's made a difference in my recovery I needed to read your comment thank you again
I'm always outside and when I was younger when it was more prevelant in my life I practically lived outside. I think its a matter of needing more than the average person.
Fascinating to see the photo of the National Jewish Sanitarium. My great aunt was a patient there, and the treatment brought her back to good health. She lived a long and productive life.
Massively helpful. Being a composium of actual studies it gives viewers additional confidence to the many anecdotal ones. ALSO IT CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH THAT NORMAL FAMILY DOCTORS HAVE VERY LITTLE INSTRUCTION IN THE FIELD OF FOOD AND MEDICINE. You are unlikely to get much help there. So it's up to you to get yourself informed. Also bear in mind that as you age your needs for such valuable nutrients vastly increase. At sixty years old your needs for this one item may be a half dozen times more than a twenty year old. So perhaps it can be understood why we become ever more vulnerable to illness as we age. Remember too, the number of people who die of vitamin overdose is probably zero. But death from prescribed pharmaceutals is the third or fourth leading cause of mortality year on year.
It's very possible to get a toxic (blindness and skin falling off) dose of Vitamin A from cod liver oil, but a lot of modern cod liver oil seems to have reduced vit. A vs Vit D. Just be aware and don't drink a cup of the stuff!
So true James Smith! I need to find a doctor or a holistic practitioner near me to help decide what supplements I actually need to take. There are so many good ones, but I need to focus on the ones I truly need; VitD, zinc..what about CoQ10, niacin... I have so many questions.
What a very informative video on D3 and the Sun. Wow, today I spent 6 hours in the Sun. Having has covid-19 some symptoms. I feel much better today. Fresh air is good for you!
fortification with vitamin D in foods by industry is not vitamin D3 ( cholecalciferol ), but vit D2 ( ergocalciferol). What we need to supply is vitam D3 , which is more effective to prevent diseases.
This explains why my sinuses clear up completely when taking big doses of vitamin D and also why my nose and eyes stop running when lying in the sun when I have a cold.
@Ram Ram 4000- 8000 IU. The brand Carlson has softgels of 4000 IU each. Experiment and see what seems to affect you. Make sure that you also take them with vitamin K2. It will prevent calcification in the arteries. Doctors usually do not tell you this.
My mother was raised in la Habana, Cuba. When growing up, if I got a cold or flu my mom would put me outside on my swing set. She just said it was good for me.
A billion thanks to you honorable Dr Ryan Rehi it’s so precious than gold your video and your teaching . Congratulation good luck and more power in your mission and profession as a doctor
Stumbled upon this video amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and am astounded at the similarity of those who are vitamin D deficient (those recommended to be supplemented ie; elderly, african-american, obese ,etc) and the complication/deaths of those diagnosed with COVID-19. EXCELLENT INFO. THANK YOU
Yep the fake or un intelligence of the msm .. STATING ITS SOCIO ECONOMIC . Bullsh$t. 45% of afro / etno deaths were from d3 deficient people with hypertension plus lung sponge that quickly deteriorated.. without help.. SO PURPOSEFULL GENOCIDE hidden in plain site .. SO STAY INSIDE OR WE WILL LOCK YOU UP... DDUUURR. DONT SIT IN THE SUN to get protection.. Please for God's sake over yourself with carcinogenic. Sunscreen .. FOR YEARS so multiple years of a lack of vit d2,3 jeezus that's how you get a cytokine storm
Nananana Na! Have been taking best quality D3 (the sunshine Vitamin) for years. In the northern hemisphere none of us get enough of this supplement. So at 80, keeping my fingers crossed.
Old retired nurse here. I really appreciate your excellent lecture on vit D physiology in health and sickness . Pertinence now in virus defense. Thank You! I will be recommending your lectures!
I have a portable cot. I lay in the sun naked in front of my sliding glass doors all winter long. The doors face a forest (complete privacy). Improves depression. Relaxes muscles. I'm 65.
You go girl I'm 67 and still sungaze and loving the Sun but I love you shua first and foremost for letting us have his beautiful creation as long as we can
Thank you for an excellent presentation Sir. I told my doctor recently that I can control my asthma with 50,000iu vitamin D and 1 x 150mg oil of Oregano capsule daily....."I've never heard of that" she said. My reply... "it's about time you did then!"
I haven't studied medicine, but I do like to find out why my doctor recommends something. This video answered all my questions on Vitamin D supplementation. I never knew any of this before. Thank you Dr. Rehl for educating us.
Rhonda Duffy like you I’ve had m.s. for over 40 years, but I’ve never heard of this treatment of vit D3. I must go out and get some when it’s safe to do so, thanks once again. Stay safe and well. God bless
The immune system does not allways work,sometomes in reverse. Some medicals po po vitamins, all foods inter act and do not provide, just a retired mil, mil relies to eat more vits. nuf.
C DV Yes It can be for some, my husbands chronic asthma went away once on a high but safe dose of D3, +K2 though in winter his asthma came back again so he upped his D3 +K2 and his asthma went away again. Hasn’t needed his two inhalers for months now. Though dog dander in a confined space can set him off on another type of asthma attack, so he still carries an inhaler. We have recently bought a portable hand held nebuliser so he can use with natural salt, or colidal silver. Only around £40 to buy, works great, but hasn’t needed it for asthma attack yet. Be aware that some steroid inhalers can actually cause asthma, look at the listed side effects, not many patients do, he found out the hard way.
@@margaretfitzgerald9670 Please note that colloidal silver has side effects as well, but because there is no evidence that it does any good, it's not regulated as a drug so they don't have to list them. If you want natural remedies/placebos to treat his condition maybe you should consider sticking to ones that are safe? Salt in a nebulizer is probably a much better option, though apparently it can irritate some people's airways. (This might save you some money: as you said "natural salt", all salt sold in stores is actually natural. Most salt (like Morton salt) is mined out of the ground from ancient lake/ocean beds that slowly evaporated and then eventually were covered by sediment. Some people try to claim that that salt isn't natural so they can charge exorbitant prices to sell you same thing, NaCl.) I hope his condition continues to improve.
this is actually stunning,, im glad he has made this video, i've always read and knew vit d was important, i thought it was for your bones,,, but that's not it,,, we have receptors on Every Cell,,,, no Wonder we see our animals sunning themselves.
Animals are smart. :) My yellow lab adores sunlight, will lie in it, belly turned toward it even if she's not on her back. Cats love it too. Wish I had a private place where I could sunbathe like that for even the fifteen minutes each side like you said, but I live in an apartment. :(
@@AmyAndThePup my dog loves to lay in the sun now it all makes sense obviously they are are getting their vitamin D animals are very smart and also evaporated milk there is so much vitamin D in evaporated milk I drink it everyday is a cup of tea and it tastes lovely
My friend had no D showing in blood test, she took D too late, her numbers would not come up...sadly she passed from Cancer, which was detected later. Fast forward to 2 years ago my D was down to 10, I thought of my friends lack of D and cancer...my dr recommended 5000 units, I took 10000 for two years, up to 40 now. Magnesium is essential. Triple magnesium even better. Plus it helps regulate you. I think the powers that be know that. I also do not use sunscreen...blocks the D and deletes the purpose of sunshine..
@@patriciataylor3837 Health...Prosusts Distribution Inc. ph ADJUST.....Alkalinize With Potassium and Sodium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Carbonate...250 Grams. It comes with a measuring cup. I take the recommended dose. I take D3..5000 units. I alternate with Apple Cider Vinager pills, but you can take the liquid ...it also helps to alkaline the body. The body thrives on a ph of 7.5. You can buy ph strips to gage the bodies ph levels to eat accordingly, to maintaine that level.
@@sheba12106 wow, that's amazing. Sad when our Drs. sell themselves out to insurance company's. We need to be our own physician. There are many sites on the internet to teach us what we need. A good body cleaner is wheat grass, my body did a lot of healing when I eliminated all white flour, sugars, and juiced for 2 years. Sadly I didn't keep that up, however I do still try ....lol...to eat well and supplement. When supplementing think, liquid first, powders second, capsules, then pills. Many pills do not absorb. Break down and assimilate in the body, unless made by a reputable company. God bless you and stay diligent in taking care of yourself. Or soils are depleted of minerals and thus the plants we eat dont have them anymore.
If you want to kill a portion of the nation .. you openly tell them in advance..

20 minutes of sun a day. Skin cancer is no joke. One of the most curable cancers but one of the most deadly if not diagnosed early. Sun exposure is cumulative.
Thank you You Tube for bringing all this cool information into our homes. From A to Z love it health to car repairs. Really helps . Hugs everyone , hope everyone had a great Easter, be safe hope this Covid gets gone.😇😇😇😇😇
My mother had rental artery stenosis and therefore basically only one functioning kidney for years. She saw a nephrologist for 20 years before I asked and got him to check her Vitamin D. It was desperately low! Don't wait to TELL you doctor you want your Vit. D checked, especially if you have any kidney problems!
Years ago I remember a friend telling me that her niece had lupus so I thought well I should look that up and find out if it's related to a mineral or vitamin deficiency I did some research and I found out that lack of vitamin D can contribute to lupus.. Well make this long story short I told her to contact her mother and get the doctor to check to see if she's in I need a vitamin D and because I was not a nurse and I don't know what I'm talkin about they didn't bother checking it. Number one they said because she was the flag girl she got enough vitamin D but I remember she used to put suntan lotion and sunscreen on her body all the time so I'm sure that must have blocked the vitamin D. Nobody listens to me a year later she had a massive heart attack about about three weeks before she died the doctor finally checked your vitamin D and it was so lowest that they had ever seen. She had a whole year to tell her niece mother to check the vitamin D I mean why didn't the doctor think of that? I'm no nurse I have no degree but it's good to do some research yourself I didn't think that would have made too much of a big difference but I said at least try to see what she's lacking. Oh well you can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink and besides there's a lot of people that are Dr worshippers and this a lot of doctors that can have a tendency to be narcissistic and there's doctors I will not test you for your vitamins and the minerals in your body so just keep giving you drugs to cover it up any ailment but then there's the good doctors that do test your blood and my hat goes off to them
I found this so informative I have been suffering with allergies real bad for the couple of weeks after taking my singular and Flonase nothing help started feeling pressure in my forehead and throbbing in my nasal passage I decided to call my dr explain my symptoms and she called in z Pak for 5 days I am now on my 3rd dose kinda fell a little better but still bothersome after this covid crisis I am gonna see a ent specialist I am wondering if I have chronic problem also I am n 50,000 unit of vitamin d given to me by my endocrinologist..good video thanks
@@judyanne3563 I would refer to my doctor. I had to see a specialist because not only was I low in vitamin d, but I had too much calcium in my blood. Something with my endocrine system was way off. So, i would not just start taking anything without checking with my doctor. Be well
Bravo Doctor!! But please do another video of the importance of Vitamin k2 that should be taken with Vitamin D and that vitamin d is not a vitamin but more of a hormone. Thank you for your study!
People used to wear so many clothes, hats, gloves, scarves, even in the summer. The elderly should have some time in the sun every day, no matter where they are.
It's a improvement on many recommendations that you mention and specify the 3 in D3. most recommendations talk only about vitamin D but you still have a part of the requirement which is that D3 should be accompanied by vitamin K2. Phoenix Nutrition such a product very cheaply.
The melanoma panic induced in parents which peaked about twenty years ago and saw them dressing their kids from top to toe every time they went to the beach probably has a lot to answer for. Gentle exposure to the sun (for all except those with abnormally fair complexions) is not only healthy in terms of Vit D, but it fortifies the skin against further exposure, making sunburns less likely. It is sun BURN, not casual exposure, which seems to tip the balance towards melanoma.
It's important to take into account the daily supplement IU value should be increased for darker skinned individuals due to melanin blocking conversion of Vitamin D3. AND, the studies do not mention whether or not the people in the trials were deficient to begin with. Therefore, if you have symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency start on a higher dose. Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency/Insufficiency before reaching extremes of rickets or osteomalacia are observed as: muscle/joint pain, extreme fatigue, brain fog (poor memorization), depression, to only mention a few. I suggest looking up keywords like "my vitamin d deficiency story" in order to hear from real patients and their journeys.
I’ve been telling family friends and strangers about vitamin D3 if it’s low you get abnormal growths and much higher risk for cancer. During the 1918 flue pandemic some family’s took a teaspoon of baking sorta in warm water every day and never got the flu. One family who did that was the only family to survive in her town.
Robert P. Heaney, M.D., a distinguished professor of medicine, world-renowned researcher 40+ years in the field of bone biology and vitamin D. Dr Heaney explains the critical importance of vitamin D to our immune systems in this youtube video. dr mercola interviews dr heaney.
Yeah it's important for people who can't or don't get enough sun. In Canada some places have darker winters people get depressed without enough sun too.
This presentation just pop in my feed and I decided to watch it. I’m glad that I did. I live in the Uk and vitamin D is only recommended for those that have no sun expose. I originally from a sunny country but I don’t like heat so in the summer, I’ll do anything to avoid the sun. For the last few years ( 10 plus), I have have several muscular and skeletal pain. There are times that these are so bad that I can’t walk. My doctors were prescribing pain killers but they never work. Been to physio which gives relief for the pain but it never goes away. And in 2018 when my pain got so bad that my muscles were so weak and I had muscle tremors and yet again they wanted to give more pain killers, I refused and insisted on Pilates and Yoga as I heard that it was good. The doctors sent me off to the gym for a 3 month free classes. This was such a huge relief that I kept up the gym and also started exercising include Pilates and yoga every morning up to an hour. This changed my life, I still have flare ups but I can manage them with exercise. But when this pandemic started I was socially distancing even before it came to the UK (when I watched the daily WHO briefings on China) but i got symptoms in the middle of March with dry cough, high temperatures, headache etc. Because I considered myself pretty healthy when I had relief after the first two weeks I thought that it has past. Only for the cough to continue with the chest pain. I have phlegm with my cough but not the one I get from a cold (tiny white specks). My doctor said that I likely had COVID which was gone but It may have left me with bacterial infections. Gave me a week of antibiotics but the cough didn’t clear actually it was worse the last 3 days on taking it. As I’ve been reading about Vitamin D, I have now started to take it ( for the 1st time ever) and now that I’ve watched this video I will continue forever. I’ll also start taking zinc and vitamin c. I’m seriously concerned that Vitamin D it is not strongly advised in the UK. In fact you are encouraged to get my vitamin levels from your food which as shown helps but impossible. I’ll share this video with my friends and family. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and work in this area.
I have taken 10,000 iu of D3 daily for the last six years and have had about 4 colds and only two URIs. and no flu. I try to keep my 25OHD level above 60 ng/ml. My overall health is much better since supplementing with D3
Vitamin D is important and I have been arguing this point for years, especially where it comes to sun-screen. My 6 kids never had sunscreen and were in the sun for many hours a day doing sport and have always been healthy.
You should check everything when doing your blood test. Vitamin K and magnesium are very important when it comes to increasing your vitamin D3 (Hormone) level. If your magnesium is low, it will be very difficult to improve your D level. You will need to do plenty of research on magnesium supplementation.
Karen Burden Vitamin K2 to be specific yes. Last year I had my bloodwork checked since I finally had my physical. My Vitamin D level was 17. For years my seasonal allergies made me hate the month of May and I would get a cold about 3 times every winter. I supplemented with 3000 IU of D3 and 300 mcg of K2. Subsequently, the following allergy season was a breeze; however, a few sneezes here and there. Now I’m researching D3 effect on upper respiratory infections such as COVID-19.
This was a fantastic piece of imformation , many of which identify symptoms of what I have been suffering from since Childhood. I will most likely look into this further. Than you for posting this critical imforation. Cheers !
Did you check the studies that reported no difference in infections to see if they used D2 or D3? The reason I ask is because D2 is often prescribed by physicians and used in research studies, but has proven to be ineffective and even toxic compared to D3. I've been taking at least 20,000IU of D3 daily for 12 years now and it has prevented the chronic bronchitis, otitis media, sinusitis, and even bursitis in my shoulders that I suffered from for years - all gone since 2008 when I started on D3 after getting diagnosed severely D-deficient. I haven't even suffered from a cold or flu since then, and I used to get infected with upper respiratory infections every time they came around. I am hoping that my high D-level will also prevent the symptoms of COVID19 if I come into contact with it.
+Music Man, Hello. Great input and insight from your comment. I will relay your experience to some family members. -- I do not know the answer to your question re D2 or D3. Stick to D3 I'd say, and you've done some research it appears on D2. About a year ago I stumbled on this site, the founder is a DC. See link on article: Vitamin D3 vs. Vitamin D2 - What’s the Difference? globalhealing.com/natural-health/vitamin-d3-vs-vitamin-d2/
Interesting. I've just had a blood test and my GP has put me on 3200IU per day for 3 months. The normal parameters for vitamin D levels should be between 75-200 nmol/L, mine was 27. With covid-19 getting closer to home, This is one med that I will not forget, as well as self-isolating from last week.
Thanks for this presentation. Wife and I live in central Florida. She has MS and, although ambulatory, can't walk for exercise and does only limited yard work. I've always wondered how much sun exposure is adequate for Vit. D production. We're in the right place and do kayak/boat/fish about once a week. I'm going to set up a place for her to sit and read for an appropriate time to ensure exposure, sans sun screen, while we're "social-distancing". It's certainly doable. Thanks again for the presentation. Michael Dameron, Major, USAF (Retired)
15 to 20 minutes in the early hours of the morning is best. You don't need Sunscreen while you are Sun bathing. From the late hours through the evening hours do use Sunscreen. Do wear a Hat while you are out in the Sun during peak hours of Subshines.
Dr Coimbra a Brazilian neurologist has been treating MS patients with high dose vitamin D and co factors. He is colleague of Dr Hollick . Dr Coimbra trains doctors for free so they can treat patients using the protocol. Several Facebook groups run by patients. I don’t have MS but take 10,000 iu daily with Magnesium.
Since MS is a gut issue, somewhere (sorry don't know where) they are doing fecal implants from healthy gut people to MS patients. I saw a guy within one week of this procedure go from being unable to walk to walking.
Very interesting ! I have psoriasis on my hands mostly in the Winter BUT since I've been taking a lot of D3 it has cleared up completely!👍 If I stop taking D3 the psoriasis shows up again.
Sadly, so many are now afraid of the sun, and slather on sun protection. I try to spend 30 min in the sun daily, with little to no clothing. 15 min each side.
If what he said is true at 8:00 and 18:28 about the nasal passages containing receptors for vitamin D then why can’t I find any nasal spray with vitamin D in it? This could very well be the body’s first line of defense against colds and flu.
Sure that is a very special situation. For you D3 is a prescription medication not supplement. Humans do not and are not designed to need supplement unless on a space mission etc.
@@sleepsmartsmashstress740 That may have been true at one time -- not in these times, even before the pandemic. The only thing I worry about is not getting organic fruit and vegetables.

Psychologist - maybe I missed my calling, I actually voluntarily sat through this, learned a great deal, AND enjoyed it! Introverts in the south get little sun (especially when moving their practices to telehealth during the coronavirus crisis).
Very good point , crazy as soon as they started talking about opening up , the planes have been spraying .. Haven’t had clear skies and “ Real” clouds in almost a week out here in NorCal ...
Thank you for the informative video about Vitamin D. I'm 80 yrs. No doctor has ever said anything to me about Vitamin D. Recently I did ask my doctor about Vit. D level. She said it's OK. However, I've learned from you about the proper test(s) for Vit. D. I'll ask her to include that better test next time she does blood tests for me. I don't know anything about K2. Thanks to you and thanks now to Google, I'll look it up.
Amazing! This morning I woke up with a sinus issue, sore throat and had skipped my Vitamin D3 yesterday by accident. OMG...so many functions in the body that need vitamin D and here for years we have been told slather on this sunscreen to prevent us from getting too much sun exposure. UGH! I use to lay in the sunlight in our home in IL during the winter just to get the sun exposure and I felt so much better and now I know why!
the studies that interested me were the ones that found no difference in risk for RTI when the d-supplemented subjects and the controls already had levels of Vit. D that are in the healthy range. Interesting finding, and it seems to underline rather than undermine the notion that “healthy” levels of Vitamin D are crucial to respiratory health.
Last year I had 5 weeks in the Mediterranean sun (lucky I know) and spent most days outside from May to September in a sunny part of the UK. I got my VitD tested and it was very low in the range - just in range. I supplement with sublingual VitD now - my daughter in law is now receiving VitD from her doctor. Deficiency is widespread.
All medical professionals need to see this video and advocate something more than just washing your hands and social distancing. Boosting our immune system is vital throughout this!
They were trained in drugs ..the big drug companies own the medical schools . We need to self educate or be your own doctor .
Whoever post this video thanks, in no better time this come handy thank you, blessings and be safe
Cesar Davila isreal weeks ago were saying that they were treating covid 19 patients with intravenous vitamin d
I hadta click. Too boring
Watching this during corona virus outbreak and thinking, people are probably not getting enough vitamin D during lockdown
I'm betting if we check the D3 levels on fatalities they had lower levels.
thats why they've been saying to go outside in the sunshine

Wow, this Dr. just validated something I have wondered about. After heart attack, three way by pass I quit being outside. One year later I'm diagnosed out of the blue with Advanced RA. Now I have it in my lungs. All the sudden I have allergies, post nasal drip & diagnosed with a lung infection that's not curable. I cough non stop & cough up heavy amounts of phlegm . I could go on.
The good part...approx a month ago I remembered I had tested very low in Vit D & magnesium. I started taking 10,000 IU daily. I didn't know the connection between low Vit D levels & respiratory infections. I have noticed a substantial amount less coughing etc. I even feel like a cloud has lifted. I never made the lack of sun & air connection , now I know because I sat in the house for 9 years ! Such good news. No wonder the powers that be are trying to block out the sun !
So glad you are getting better.
Get your boosters kids!
Nope nope NOPE@@p-nutgallery2511
Hey Dr. Rehl, my name is also Dr.Rehl! Great presentation. I also included some information from OrthoMolecular Products on vitamin K2. Totally important and not to be dismissed. Great work! I highly recommend the book “K2 and the Calcium Paradox“ by Kate Rhéaume-Bleue. 2012.
Hello, my vitamin D is 19.1, I am a ckd stage 2 patient gfr 76 with hematuria 2+ & prot 2+ with prot/cret at 639 could it be because of my low vitamin D, if you can reply I will deeply appreciate it, thanks.
Hecate Court p’02
Probably. Why don’t you take D3 and K2 and see if it improves
Hecate Court , I am not a doctor, but you Vitamin D level is low. 1,ooo IU should do no harm. I take 5,000 IU a day.
Milagros Valdez Hello what do you mean by p’02, can you please explain, thanks.
Thank You, Sir. “Every cell in your body has a Vitamin D receptor.” Good to know, I think.
Thank you so much for this presentation. My doc recommended that I take 4000 IUs of D3, and it has helped me. Must admit didn’t take it daily. I paused this video half way through and took a D3 capsule. I have to let my doc know she was spot on. Also when I heard the lecturer talk about cod liver oil...my mind flashed back to those days when it was mandatory for us kids to swallow a tablespoon of that nasty stuff, chased with a quarter orange...daily, up to age 14. I thought my parents were inflicting “cruel and unusual punishment.” However, being African American, that “cruel and unusual punishment” (so I thought) was one of the best things my parents could’ve done for me.
Jen Pollard, how very true. I had an experience when I was building a radio station for a guy a few years ago and we were out in the sun all day. I have been taking Dr Wallach's 90 Essential Nutrients for about 20 years, and I did not burn at all. My friend, who I was building the radio station for, is African American and he was out in the sun working all day just like I was. The bottom line is, he experienced a sunburn, but I did not even though I am white, and so it's more than just getting enough Sun, you have to have your body tuned with all the nutrients needed to keep everything in top-notch condition to convert the serum cholesterol in your skin into Vitamin D3. If you listen to your doctor and he says get off of all cholesterol containing foods, you are headed for disaster or, if you are taking cholesterol reducing drugs, you will be causing Alzheimer's disease and many other problems.
Jen Pollard i was a sick kid and the dr took me off milk and on cod liver oil. Many years later i heard a song by Hamish Imlack called, cod liver oil and the orange juice!
It's good but you should not overdo it. In periods when you need you can take a lot, but more than 4000 for prolonged periods could cause issues.
Always check with your doctor, she sounds smart
@@marcofogli4317 Actually, there is ZERO evidence that any dose below 30,000 IUs a day causes harm. There have been cases where people have accidentally taken 2,000,000 IUs a day for weeks, and the symptoms produced were easily fixed just by discontinuing the excessive dose. Just half an hour of sun in summer in Oslo Norway (!) will produce 10,000 to 20,000 IUs of vitamin D in the skin
Yeah I made my son take the cod liver and I used to take the bottle and carefully pour it under the tongue and have a glass of milk to chase it. And if you get the technique just right then you don't even taste it. Milk is a good chaser compared orange juice
Wow!🙏🏾Went to the ER this week Wednesday diagnosed with Bronchitis Dr gave me antibiotics to prevent pneumonia BUT..told me to amp my vitamin D3 up to 5’000 per day until my symptoms are gone😏..then today I see this RUclips Video!...Zinc and high doses of Vitamin C also to fight respiratory virus he said
D3 + K2 is the ideal combination.....
Glad to see @Wauneta G has already mentioned vit K
Divine Reflections
That's awesome! Smart doctor. They are rare, unfortunately.
Zink k2 d3 full spectrum vitamin c magnesium
There’s no proof that vitamin C helps treat colds and viruses just a legend until significant trials are conducted.
I was recently diagnosed with severely low levels of Vitamin D (only 8), and am taking 10,000 IU per day. I also had the flu in November and 2 respiratory infections since then prior to the diagnosis. I've been studying up on vitamin D, and what an amazing vitamin. I really enjoyed this presentation. I feel it will also have benefit for those who will or will not get Covid19 and/or the extent of their symptoms.
Look into why it's important to take magnesium with bit D
Have you checked your B12. Often Vit D and B12 are deficient together. I am severely deficient in both.
No, but I am 98% plant based. I take B12 occasionally, but also use Nutritional Yeast. I should probably test that.
I was low, even when taking 5,000 IU per day, then even higher up to 10,000 IU (only slightly low)... but it wasn't until I learned to take Vitamin K2 with it, and a Multivitamin more regularly to supplement my poor diet and lack of sun, that my Vitamin D settled down and seemed to work like it should, and my sleeping improved and then everything improved.
I have heard plant based is ok, but not as efficient as animal based, so you have to take a little more for same result, so be aware. it is mentioned breifly in this video, but more detailed in some of the other vit D videos that follow ruclips.net/video/fmDng_uMCnY/видео.html
Excellent and Important Information - As an RN, I thank you for presenting this!
Dr. Rehl you are wonderful, I am a nurse and I have sent this video out to all.my friends and coworkers, you are exactly spot on in your findings, I just wish all medical practioners would consider this approach.
A medical nerd with some health conditions, watching these types of videos to understand her own health problems.
Fascinating. It all lines up. Thank you so much for sharing this on RUclips.
About 7 years ago, I started vitamin D dosing. I came about doing it through researching and living through ADHD. At the time I was transferred to a different department in my Company and due to the job's inherent dangers I quickly discovered how my HDHD could get me severely injured or killed if I don't do something about my lack of mindfulness and brain fog. Up to that point I've learned life skills to help me manage it. Albeit I also take other supplements but I do truly believe that once I started the vitamin D the brain fog disappeared. My ability to concentrate dramatically improved. Most of if not all of the associated issues of ADHD have disappeared so much so that one would be hard pressed to define what is a norm and what is not. I just wanted to share this is my personal experience and testimony to Vitamin D supplementation. That being said, I've been with the same organization for 8 years. I am now a team leader. I am truly blessed and I also know that medicine and vitamins are not a cure all, we need spirituality and guidance from caring people to make our lives work.
Thank you sir I've had magior heart surgery and have respiratory issues so been taking vitamin D3 for a couple of years and I think it's made a difference in my recovery I needed to read your comment thank you again
I'm always outside and when I was younger when it was more prevelant in my life I practically lived outside. I think its a matter of needing more than the average person.
Always God's Grace!
Fascinating to see the photo of the National Jewish Sanitarium. My great aunt was a patient there, and the treatment brought her back to good health. She lived a long and productive life.
Massively helpful. Being a composium of actual studies it gives viewers additional confidence to the many anecdotal ones.
ALSO IT CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH THAT NORMAL FAMILY DOCTORS HAVE VERY LITTLE INSTRUCTION IN THE FIELD OF FOOD AND MEDICINE. You are unlikely to get much help there.
So it's up to you to get yourself informed.
Also bear in mind that as you age your needs for such valuable nutrients vastly increase. At sixty years old your needs for this one item may be a half dozen times more than a twenty year old.
So perhaps it can be understood why we become ever more vulnerable to illness as we age.
Remember too, the number of people who die of vitamin overdose is probably zero. But death from prescribed pharmaceutals is the third or fourth leading cause of mortality year on year.
I'm really happy to see someone else has realized these facts!
@@karenpierce6424 😇
I couldn't have said it better @James Smith
It's very possible to get a toxic (blindness and skin falling off) dose of Vitamin A from cod liver oil, but a lot of modern cod liver oil seems to have reduced vit. A vs Vit D. Just be aware and don't drink a cup of the stuff!
So true James Smith! I need to find a doctor or a holistic practitioner near me to help decide what supplements I actually need to take. There are so many good ones, but I need to focus on the ones I truly need; VitD, zinc..what about CoQ10, niacin... I have so many questions.
What a very informative video on D3 and the Sun. Wow, today I spent 6 hours in the Sun. Having has covid-19 some symptoms. I feel much better today. Fresh air is good for you!
fortification with vitamin D in foods by industry is not vitamin D3 ( cholecalciferol ), but vit D2 ( ergocalciferol). What we need to supply is vitam D3 , which is more effective to prevent diseases.
I have been using vitamin D3 for Systolic blood pressure it works very well glad to see there are other benifits

Yeah really....usually they try to just push meds on us. This guy is clearly not getting the bonuses that the other docs are lol

@Ram Ram 4000- 8000 IU. The brand Carlson has softgels of 4000 IU each. Experiment and see what seems to affect you. Make sure that you also take them with vitamin K2. It will prevent calcification in the arteries. Doctors usually do not tell you this.

Nutrition should be taught in schools, So is asthma really a vitamin D deficiency, very interesting video.. great to know.. thanks to all involved.
I've been taking vitamin D3 for some years. Maybe that's why my asthma is practically non-existent.
C DV Yes It can be for some, my husbands chronic asthma went away once on a high but safe dose of D3, +K2 though in winter his asthma came back again so he upped his D3 +K2 and his asthma went away again. Hasn’t needed his two inhalers for months now. Though dog dander in a confined space can set him off on another type of asthma attack, so he still carries an inhaler. We have recently bought a portable hand held nebuliser so he can use with natural salt, or colidal silver. Only around £40 to buy, works great, but hasn’t needed it for asthma attack yet. Be aware that some steroid inhalers can actually cause asthma, look at the listed side effects, not many patients do, he found out the hard way.
@@margaretfitzgerald9670 Please note that colloidal silver has side effects as well, but because there is no evidence that it does any good, it's not regulated as a drug so they don't have to list them. If you want natural remedies/placebos to treat his condition maybe you should consider sticking to ones that are safe? Salt in a nebulizer is probably a much better option, though apparently it can irritate some people's airways. (This might save you some money: as you said "natural salt", all salt sold in stores is actually natural. Most salt (like Morton salt) is mined out of the ground from ancient lake/ocean beds that slowly evaporated and then eventually were covered by sediment. Some people try to claim that that salt isn't natural so they can charge exorbitant prices to sell you same thing, NaCl.) I hope his condition continues to improve.
@@margaretfitzgerald9670 I have also heard vitamin A is good for the lungs etc too. I guess carrot juice and vitamin C are a perfect combination
C DV Make sure it is Retinoic or Palmitate. This type of vitamin A helped renew alveoli (airsacs) in mice. 😉🤔 👍⭐️😎

My friend had no D showing in blood test, she took D too late, her numbers would not come up...sadly she passed from Cancer, which was detected later. Fast forward to 2 years ago my D was down to 10, I thought of my friends lack of D and cancer...my dr recommended 5000 units, I took 10000 for two years, up to 40 now. Magnesium is essential. Triple magnesium even better. Plus it helps regulate you. I think the powers that be know that. I also do not use sunscreen...blocks the D and deletes the purpose of sunshine..

Thank you Dr. Rehl - this is so important especially in the Coronavirus pandemic.
Years ago I remember a friend telling me that her niece had lupus so I thought well I should look that up and find out if it's related to a mineral or vitamin deficiency I did some research and I found out that lack of vitamin D can contribute to lupus..
Well make this long story short I told her to contact her mother and get the doctor to check to see if she's in I need a vitamin D and because I was not a nurse and I don't know what I'm talkin about they didn't bother checking it. Number one they said because she was the flag girl she got enough vitamin D but I remember she used to put suntan lotion and sunscreen on her body all the time so I'm sure that must have blocked the vitamin D. Nobody listens to me a year later she had a massive heart attack about about three weeks before she died the doctor finally checked your vitamin D and it was so lowest that they had ever seen. She had a whole year to tell her niece mother to check the vitamin D I mean why didn't the doctor think of that? I'm no nurse I have no degree but it's good to do some research yourself I didn't think that would have made too much of a big difference but I said at least try to see what she's lacking. Oh well you can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink and besides there's a lot of people that are Dr worshippers and this a lot of doctors that can have a tendency to be narcissistic and there's doctors I will not test you for your vitamins and the minerals in your body so just keep giving you drugs to cover it up any ailment but then there's the good doctors that do test your blood and my hat goes off to them

Does it help with sinus infections too ?
It's a improvement on many recommendations that you mention and specify the 3 in D3. most recommendations talk only about vitamin D but you still have a part of the requirement which is that D3 should be accompanied by vitamin K2. Phoenix Nutrition such a product very cheaply.
The melanoma panic induced in parents which peaked about twenty years ago and saw them dressing their kids from top to toe every time they went to the beach probably has a lot to answer for. Gentle exposure to the sun (for all except those with abnormally fair complexions) is not only healthy in terms of Vit D, but it fortifies the skin against further exposure, making sunburns less likely. It is sun BURN, not casual exposure, which seems to tip the balance towards melanoma.
Yes true you very rarely hear about SUN BURN CAUSING SKIN CANCER

It's important to take into account the daily supplement IU value should be increased for darker skinned individuals due to melanin blocking conversion of Vitamin D3. AND, the studies do not mention whether or not the people in the trials were deficient to begin with. Therefore, if you have symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency start on a higher dose. Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency/Insufficiency before reaching extremes of rickets or osteomalacia are observed as: muscle/joint pain, extreme fatigue, brain fog (poor memorization), depression, to only mention a few. I suggest looking up keywords like "my vitamin d deficiency story" in order to hear from real patients and their journeys.

This presentation just pop in my feed and I decided to watch it. I’m glad that I did. I live in the Uk and vitamin D is only recommended for those that have no sun expose. I originally from a sunny country but I don’t like heat so in the summer, I’ll do anything to avoid the sun. For the last few years ( 10 plus), I have have several muscular and skeletal pain. There are times that these are so bad that I can’t walk. My doctors were prescribing pain killers but they never work. Been to physio which gives relief for the pain but it never goes away. And in 2018 when my pain got so bad that my muscles were so weak and I had muscle tremors and yet again they wanted to give more pain killers, I refused and insisted on Pilates and Yoga as I heard that it was good. The doctors sent me off to the gym for a 3 month free classes. This was such a huge relief that I kept up the gym and also started exercising include Pilates and yoga every morning up to an hour. This changed my life, I still have flare ups but I can manage them with exercise.
But when this pandemic started I was socially distancing even before it came to the UK (when I watched the daily WHO briefings on China) but i got symptoms in the middle of March with dry cough, high temperatures, headache etc. Because I considered myself pretty healthy when I had relief after the first two weeks I thought that it has past. Only for the cough to continue with the chest pain. I have phlegm with my cough but not the one I get from a cold (tiny white specks). My doctor said that I likely had COVID which was gone but It may have left me with bacterial infections. Gave me a week of antibiotics but the cough didn’t clear actually it was worse the last 3 days on taking it. As I’ve been reading about Vitamin D, I have now started to take it ( for the 1st time ever) and now that I’ve watched this video I will continue forever. I’ll also start taking zinc and vitamin c. I’m seriously concerned that Vitamin D it is not strongly advised in the UK. In fact you are encouraged to get my vitamin levels from your food which as shown helps but impossible. I’ll share this video with my friends and family. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and work in this area.
I have taken 10,000 iu of D3 daily for the last six years and have had about 4 colds and only two URIs. and no flu. I try to keep my 25OHD level above 60 ng/ml. My overall health is much better since supplementing with D3
You are AMAZING ! ! I studied all of the background information. Sharing with friends and family.
Vitamin D is important and I have been arguing this point for years, especially where it comes to sun-screen. My 6 kids never had sunscreen and were in the sun for many hours a day doing sport and have always been healthy.
Sunshine vitamin or steroid hormone was the most powerful medicine on earth given by our CREATOR. GOD BLESS.
Thank you. Good information in a timely manner.
You should check everything when doing your blood test. Vitamin K and magnesium are very important when it comes to increasing your vitamin D3 (Hormone) level. If your magnesium is low, it will be very difficult to improve your D level. You will need to do plenty of research on magnesium supplementation.
Karen Burden Vitamin K2 to be specific yes. Last year I had my bloodwork checked since I finally had my physical. My Vitamin D level was 17. For years my seasonal allergies made me hate the month of May and I would get a cold about 3 times every winter. I supplemented with 3000 IU of D3 and 300 mcg of K2. Subsequently, the following allergy season was a breeze; however, a few sneezes here and there. Now I’m researching D3 effect on upper respiratory infections such as COVID-19.
@@Bassman7608 it sounds like you're recommending 100 of k2 per 1000 of vitamin d?
Is that the right amount?
holistic chaos yup 100mcg of K2 per 1000 IU of D3
@@Bassman7608 that is a great help thankyou👍
You enjoy your day pal and stay safe and well.
Always God's Grace!
This was a fantastic piece of imformation , many of which identify symptoms of what I have been suffering from since Childhood. I will most likely look into this further. Than you for posting this critical imforation. Cheers !
There is also a correlation between vitamin D and sleep. I started supplementing my D and am sleeping more deeply and restful, since.
Thank you for an excellent presentation
Did you check the studies that reported no difference in infections to see if they used D2 or D3? The reason I ask is because D2 is often prescribed by physicians and used in research studies, but has proven to be ineffective and even toxic compared to D3. I've been taking at least 20,000IU of D3 daily for 12 years now and it has prevented the chronic bronchitis, otitis media, sinusitis, and even bursitis in my shoulders that I suffered from for years - all gone since 2008 when I started on D3 after getting diagnosed severely D-deficient. I haven't even suffered from a cold or flu since then, and I used to get infected with upper respiratory infections every time they came around. I am hoping that my high D-level will also prevent the symptoms of COVID19 if I come into contact with it.
+Music Man, Hello. Great input and insight from your comment.
I will relay your experience to some family members.
-- I do not know the answer to your question re D2 or D3. Stick to D3 I'd say, and you've done some research it appears on D2.
About a year ago I stumbled on this site, the founder is a DC. See link on article:
Vitamin D3 vs. Vitamin D2 - What’s the Difference?
globalhealing.com/natural-health/vitamin-d3-vs-vitamin-d2/
It’s amazing how little people are prepared to do to get their health sorted.
President Trump needs to air this during his daily updates! It matches completely with what is happening with the coronavirus!
Trump is more likely to air that people should try to drink water and soap, do cartwheels, and then puke, and then water, and puke again, to rinse.
Interesting. I've just had a blood test and my GP has put me on 3200IU per day for 3 months. The normal parameters for vitamin D levels should be between 75-200 nmol/L, mine was 27. With covid-19 getting closer to home, This is one med that I will not forget, as well as self-isolating from last week.
Thanks for this presentation. Wife and I live in central Florida. She has MS and, although ambulatory, can't walk for exercise and does only limited yard work. I've always wondered how much sun exposure is adequate for Vit. D production. We're in the right place and do kayak/boat/fish about once a week. I'm going to set up a place for her to sit and read for an appropriate time to ensure exposure, sans sun screen, while we're "social-distancing". It's certainly doable. Thanks again for the presentation. Michael Dameron, Major, USAF (Retired)
15 to 20 minutes in the early hours of the morning is best. You don't need Sunscreen while you are Sun bathing. From the late hours through the evening hours do use Sunscreen. Do wear a Hat while you are out in the Sun during peak hours of Subshines.
You still need to supplement
Dr Coimbra a Brazilian neurologist has been treating MS patients with high dose vitamin D and co factors. He is colleague of Dr Hollick . Dr Coimbra trains doctors for free so they can treat patients using the protocol. Several Facebook groups run by patients. I don’t have MS but take 10,000 iu daily with Magnesium.
Since MS is a gut issue, somewhere (sorry don't know where) they are doing fecal implants from healthy gut people to MS patients. I saw a guy within one week of this procedure go from being unable to walk to walking.
@@linda8485 MS is a neurological issue. It has nothing to do with gut.
Very interesting ! I have psoriasis on my hands mostly in the Winter BUT since I've been taking a lot of D3 it has cleared up completely!👍
If I stop taking D3 the psoriasis shows up again.
i have psoriasis, on my elbows and knees, i will try it thank you
My primary caregiver at the VA prescribed Vitamin D3 @50,000 IUD for three weeks
and now I'm on a daily maintenance dose of 1,000 IU.
Sadly, so many are now afraid of the sun, and slather on sun protection. I try to spend 30 min in the sun daily, with little to no clothing. 15 min each side.
I am sun sensitive but never use sun screen preferring to clothe myself except for short bursts in the sun.
If what he said is true at 8:00 and 18:28 about the nasal passages containing receptors for vitamin D then why can’t I find any nasal spray with vitamin D in it? This could very well be the body’s first line of defense against colds and flu.
Buy the drops and put in a nasal spray. I’m putting the drops in my nebulizer
Thank for posting this
🌞👍🌞🎼🎵🎶🇺🇸⚓
I take D-3 as part of my lung transplant rejection Meds
I wish you well and stay safe and healthy
Mr Paul Grimm how much do you take? Bless your heart stay blessed
Sure that is a very special situation. For you D3 is a prescription medication not supplement. Humans do not and are not designed to need supplement unless on a space mission etc.
@@sleepsmartsmashstress740 That may have been true at one time -- not in these times, even before the pandemic. The only thing I worry about is not getting organic fruit and vegetables.
@@TheBluewaterBlonde Feel lucky that you get any fruit and vegetables. We are headed for serious food shortages as well as labor is being quarantined and falling ill
Great no B/S talk vid I love it...defo going to chemist 2moro for vitamin D suppliments...cheers.
Timely video as I watch mid April 2020 during the Coronavirus.
Psychologist - maybe I missed my calling, I actually voluntarily sat through this, learned a great deal, AND enjoyed it! Introverts in the south get little sun (especially when moving their practices to telehealth during the coronavirus crisis).
No wonder so much money is being use to cover the sun. Wow.
Bingo
Very good point , crazy as soon as they started talking about opening up , the planes have been spraying .. Haven’t had clear skies and “ Real” clouds in almost a week out here in NorCal ...
@@kalidad1 yep here in Texas as well, the few days have been gray, may see the sun for a few in the the evening.. sad but true!
Thank you for the informative video about Vitamin D. I'm 80 yrs. No doctor has ever said anything to me about Vitamin D. Recently I did ask my doctor about Vit. D level. She said it's OK. However, I've learned from you about the proper test(s) for Vit. D. I'll ask her to include that better test next time she does blood tests for me. I don't know anything about K2. Thanks to you and thanks now to Google, I'll look it up.
Lucky 1038 Suggestion: Ask your doctor to give you the results/numbers. Then you can decide together whether your levels are okay.
Change to a more competent doctor.
Amazing! This morning I woke up with a sinus issue, sore throat and had skipped my Vitamin D3 yesterday by accident. OMG...so many functions in the body that need vitamin D and here for years we have been told slather on this sunscreen to prevent us from getting too much sun exposure. UGH! I use to lay in the sunlight in our home in IL during the winter just to get the sun exposure and I felt so much better and now I know why!
Almost all those sunscreens had parabens in them... and who knows what else...
I don’t doubt it!
Amen!
God Almighty Is supreme!
We Are His Own Children!
Amen!
Excellent video. I have RA and allergic rhinitis. Recently tested my vit D level and found as 7 ng/ml. Now trying to increase my vit D levels
How is it going?
First time coming across this video! Great very informative video!
there are plenty that go much much deeper than this. It will blow your mind
Thank you, very comprehensive. Will definitely help COVID patients recover.
Surprised this hasn't been banned by RUclips.
Excellent presentation and some really excellent info in the comment's!!!!!!
the studies that interested me were the ones that found no difference in risk for RTI when the d-supplemented subjects and the controls already had levels of Vit. D that are in the healthy range. Interesting finding, and it seems to underline rather than undermine the notion that “healthy” levels of Vitamin D are crucial to respiratory health.
Last year I had 5 weeks in the Mediterranean sun (lucky I know) and spent most days outside from May to September in a sunny part of the UK. I got my VitD tested and it was very low in the range - just in range. I supplement with sublingual VitD now - my daughter in law is now receiving VitD from her doctor. Deficiency is widespread.
I Think I live in Florida and most of us are also lacking vitamin D and have to supplement with vitamin pills.
NICE WORK...!!! I understood most of the Terminology THANK YOU DR. ☺
I have been taking 10.000 units every day for the past 5 years, never felt better, I follow the Coimbra Protocol
