Vitamin D and clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) guidance. UK Government Publications, February 2021.
The Joint Committee on Health
The Committee heard evidence that Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent across the population and the report recommends that public health measures are established to address that deficiency. These public health measures are preventative in nature and are recommended to reduce the risk of respiratory and other illnesses such as osteoporosis.
1 That daily Vitamin D supplementation of 20-25µg/day should be recommended to the entire adult population as a public health measure,
higher doses recommended for vulnerable groups under medical supervision.
2 That a public health policy, which promotes better knowledge of the benefits of Vitamin D, and which encourages Vitamin D supplementation, should be developed in time for consideration in Budget 2022.
3 That reducing the cost of Vitamin D supplementation, in order to promote its uptake, should be considered.
4 That specific measures need to be put in place for vulnerable groups, and for frontline and healthcare workers,
so that Vitamin D supplementation is administered on an opt-out basis,
and for the duration of this pandemic, people should be offered Vitamin D supplements when presenting at Covid-19 test centres.
Well done Dr Campbell for reporting this. Really important report. I live in Ireland and, my former GP from South Africa, had a large sign on his surgery door stating that all Irish people should take vitamin D supplements every day between October and May. Dr Campbell has been on the ball on this issue right from the beginning.
We say vitamin D from September to April... all months with a letter R. Learned this at primary school.
Sir you not only are a good doctor, scientist but you are a GOOD human being. Thank you for speaking truth.
Very true
He's not a dr.. He's a teacher and can't be believed half the time.
His is not a doctor he is a nurse, he has PhD I assume, nevertheless he says interesting things.
@@loonaticsrunningtheassylum but doctors who cause at least 350k medical error deaths EVERY YEAR on the US can be believed right?
You are all batcrazy.
@@loonaticsrunningtheassylum my cousin Barbara Dooley PhD, is a surgical nurse. If you call her anything but doctor she will kick your ass and perform your castration without some pantywaist md supervising. Since she normally opens, and closes for the heart Doctor. You need to get a lot more respect for science based PhD. I suppose you consider a PhD in Nutritional Science to be below your high school diploma. If you even got that.
Thank you Dr Campbell for your wise words over the last year. I was recently made subscriber of the week in the New Statesman and nominated you as my choice for the inspiring person I would like to see on the cover ! You deserve every honour going . Thanks again
Thank me instead. I am a the indefatigable champion

I was going to recommend Hunter Biden but I like your choice better.
Excellent video on vitamin D. A low cost supplement that is easy to buy. See how I increased my vitamin d blood level: ruclips.net/video/kV4TIgBytzs/видео.html
I researched vitamin D3 a decade ago and educated myself on its benefits and my need to supplement with it due to the long winters where I live and lack of sunshine and the fact with the exception of my face all other skin was covered.
In 2013 began supplementing with 5000 iu daily. Then in 2015 increased dosage to 10000 iu November thru April and 5000 iu May thru October.
Since 2018 have taken 10000 iu year around. Have had 0 respiratory issues since I began taking D3 in 2013. Starting in 2014 made a lifestyle change with regard to my health and personal well-being in which I lost 80 lbs going from 250 down to 170lbs.
Completely changed what, how much and when I eat. Strength train and run on a regular basis. My health from that point has been my number 1 priority and will be for the rest of my life. I control what I have control over and don't worry about what I have no control over. I don't worry about what might happen but I deal with things when they do happen. Personal Responsibility is key to one's life.
Well done you. That's the best way to live your life. :-)
Totally agree.
It's about time a country took this step. Well done Ireland. 👏
You have an IQ of 147? Not 146 or 148. Why have you not solved the covid problem then? What use is your IQ of 147?
My reaction to this report is to immediately take my daily 2,000IU of Vitamin D!
@@David_Thompson The Statistical Error in the Estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance of Vitamin D
Veugelers and Ekwaru [8], in a correct reanalysis of the data used by the Institute of Medicine, proved that 8895 IU/d are needed for 97.5% of individuals to achieve values ≥50 nmol/L. Heaney et al. [9] confirmed that finding, reporting that 6201 IU/d were needed to achieve the Endocrine Society’s recommendation of 75 nmol/L and 9122 IU/day to reach 100 nmol/L.
@@esecallum I think you're replying to the wrong person. I have made no claims about IQ.
I DON'T GET THIS, ONE DAY JOHN GETS PROFESSOR SPECTOR ON TO TELL EVERYONE VITAMIN D IS RUBBISH, THE NEXT DAY THIS? WHY DO THAT?.
As a healthcare worker here in Ireland I’ve been taking Vitamin D for over a year now.
Great to see this report published and the empirical data to support its recommendations.
I sincerely hope that they follow through on the recommendations made in the report.
Yes let's hope they do follow the recommendations.
🇮🇪
This guy only knows Vitamin D reports.
But he is not a serious medical staff.
Because he does not get his facts straight. instead, he is a nationalist.
@Wexford DJ Yeah ... I discovered Dr C in early Feb 2020 & immediately got my family (including elderly parents) on 1000 IUs per day ... later increased to 3000 IUs once new data started coming through on this channel ... both for the immediate threat of Covid & of course the much broader beneficial effects.
For example he was proudly bragging about the number of vaccines given. The Eu had exportet 77mio doses.
Britain had exportet Z E R O.
Campbell in APril 2020: "When the vaccine will be availiable, we must give it to the whole world"
Campbell in April 2020 ah look at the EU. we are far more ahead."
Problem: Not only has Britan done huge unethical behaviour, HE IS EVEN PROUD ABOUT IT. Bugger, god bugger, what a dear sorryful wit.
Greatest hit: 14mio Doses of AstraZeneca were secretly held back in a AZ factory in Italy.
This behaviour, to hold back medicine for people is so unethical. HE never lost a word about it.
His Dogs Name is named after Churchill. Could you imagine any more nationalism?
WEll. I am happy, that high morale counts in the EU. the EU keeps exporting. The EU also has stated that YOU CAN NOT get blackmailed by the pharma industry and drive the price up by fighting for the vaccine.
Instead the price must be WITHIN ETHICAL LIMITS.
Result: The number of vaccines will be the same, only a stupid fight amongst states will be avoided.
I am not only extremely, E X T R E M E L Y disappointed, by this Nurse Teacher.
I am so disappointet, that a dude with a low IQ mades BOLDEST statements and then brakes his own, low morale and is proud about it.
It is inside himself.
Meanwhile: HE got vaccinated with the superior BioNtech vaccine, whilst my girlfriend had HUGE pain for 4 daiys, 39C temperature. and as we all know: high risk of thrombosis.
Yet this guy is saying how good the "english vaccine" is.
Sorry guy. If you talk about disease, you msut be a good human. If you talk about death, there is no margin for mationalism.
BUt consideren MIllions of doses held back in italy, you are FULLY out of it.
You can never ever re-establish your sorryful attitude and your lowstandards. learn maths before you talk about statistics. and get your friggin English exceptionalism out of your mind. the EU is a peace project, not the thing the Brits are doing today, or did in the past...
This is about medicine, not about which government needs the most vaccines to cover their mess. (150.000 deaths, far more than any other EU country ... ) pretty exceptional.
at least, learn about reality. we dont care about you. you have shown taht you support the true face Britain is showing to the world. and they are getting whopped by any country right now.
and risk the Good Friday Agreement fornot losing out on the promise they couldnt keep.
geting in trouble with the USA.
ah, sorryful people, that are so egoistic, for my life i will know how to treat this arrogant pack.
Thank you for everything you do for us all in bringing us your daily reports for well over a year now - without a day off!
You are a star! Xxxxx

Thanks for your excellent videos! Here is how I increased my vitamin d level: ruclips.net/video/kV4TIgBytzs/видео.html
Not having a day off is an occupational hazard for many doctors. Let's thank them all
I'm so pleased to see this report, John. I take 4000iu a day since my neurologist told me to, and I eat as much vitamin d rich food as I can and catch a few rays when I can, since coming across your advice last year. Consider getting good quality supplements/oils. There are vegan alternatives out there, too, guys. Have a good day. Sending best wishes from London.x
D3 is made in a lab... it's not taken from animals...all the supplements are vegan👍
Vegans and their supplementations 😂
@@andylucas6962 who are we to judge... :)
@@Ben-ry1py hi Ben, actually it's vitamin d2 that's always vegan, but D3 is sometimes derived from lichen or lanolin in sheeps wool. So would definitely not be vegan friendly.
@@dharmacharinipasadanandi7110 you're right! I had seen a video that said it was all lab made, but it seems that it can be derived from wool or lichen. 👍
Growing up in Canada, my mother gave us vitamin D supplements all winter long and I continued to take vitamins and eat a healthy diet my whole life. I’m now a senior and survived the Covid virus last year. That might have saved my life.
So glad ur pulled thru & are still here! Best wishes for ur future .
It seems sure that your lifetime habit of nutritional supplements did protect you. I too, have supplemented and made my family do so, my son has carried that through to his family. We are all healthy and very seldom anyone even has a cold. Since Covid we have all upped our vitaminD.
Can you come over to Australia and slap the people who still think it's not real please.

My depression has disappeared since taking Vit D, thanks to your advice for fighting COVID-19 🥰
Same here or atleast i do feel alot better. I think i was very deficent since i rarely go outside even in summertimes.
The only depression I fell is when reading the troll comments here!
@@rogerstarkey5390 lucky you!
Same here, turns out I need 10,000 to 15,000 units a day (and that’s just to keep my blood levels about mid-range.) Everyone is different. People should get their levels checked and take enough to raise their blood levels to at least mid-range.
God Bless!Amen!

From Kansas USA - Dr Campbell, you’re an absolute inspiration by teaching the public about the positive effects of Vitamin-D. You are clear and your thoughts on the positive effects of Vitamin-D are so encouraging. I’m a 67 year old female with Lupus, Hashimoto, Osteopenia and depression (yes that’s a number of medical conditions) and take 4,000 IU of Vitamin-D daily which has done incredible miracles for me. I’m an avid mountain biker as well and still biking with energy and I’m the oldest female member in my local Mountain biking group. I truly believe that Vitamin-D has assisted in giving me the strength and has put a wrench in the debilitation of Systemic Lupus, as well as the other medical conditions noted. I wish that the Institute of Medicine (IOS) (US) would be transparent by encouraging through advertisements to the public, to take 4,000 IU of Vitamin-D. I depend on International medical sources like the EFSA and the SACN to obtain information as they’re more “transparent.” Maybe the U.S. Pharmaceutical companies do not encourage this type of information as it would hurt their wallets. I just started listening to your Clips and was fascinated by the latest clip regarding the Indian Variant (Covid-19). Thank you for taking your personal dedicated time to spread the news to the public. The Irish government is truly transparent and I admire them very much. May the Force be with You…Des
I don't get why anyone would give a thumb's down on such vital information!!!!!!
Only the trolls do such things. Dr. Campbell is doing a great job informing us of life-giving (and affordable) medical advice.
What vital information, exactly?
@@RY-os9vw, trolls can’t resist an opportunity to troll.
Well done, John, and many thanks for your tireless efforts in bringing health education to the public in a clear and understandable way!
Good to be here watching Dr John this morning 🙌
Hello from Ireland started vitamin d after listening to you last year thank you 😇😇😍🤩
Thanks for bringing that report to us. Backs up everything you have been saying all along. Best things come to those who wait!
Thank you Dr. Campbell, you have been my daily dose of valuable knowledge since January of 2020. You are a gift to humanity !
Dr Campbell works sooooooo hard, every day: such energy and commitment. The work behind these videos is immense. What a man! Thank you
Dr. John we get your frustration completely. Thank you for highlighting the need for vitamin D. I have been taking mine every day especially over winter. We owe you for keeping us informed of the facts regardless of politics or vested interest.
Ex nurse Rose.
So happy for you.The report is a vindication. I've been taking Vit D since you recommended it. It took me a while to sort out the amounts, as on my tablets it didn't say what it was in iU. Lots of solid information today, thank you.
But there is nothing scientifically new here. So what vindication are you talking about?
John, you may have been indirectly influential in this Irish initiative yourself. Your eloquence on the subject - and yours alone, you were a lone voice as far as I was concerned - led me to write last November to two of my local TDs (Irish MPs) Simon Harris and Stephen Donnelly (past and present Ministers for Health as it happens). Here's what I wrote:
"Studies are now extremely clear that vitamin D deficiency is a huge contributor to the covid problem, both in terms of likelihood of infection and likelihood of hospitalisation. Why aren’t you rolling out a national programme of supplementation? Followed up by testing every individual to check levels and giving more supplements if necessary? Vitamin D is pretty cheap and can be taken in mega doses without fear of toxicity, but its cost is peanuts if it meant the economy could be opened a bit more."
My words, but not my expertise. The expertise is yours John. You may have a greater influence than you know.
Have you listened to Ivor Cummins? Big advocate for Vit D and asks the hard questions. He's from a scientific/engineering background.
@@rightmatt Thanks, he certainly has an impressive c v. Another outsider, as in some ways with his nursing background is Dr. John. It's disappointing that most people within the pharma-medical world seem to have suppressed the scientific instinct to question things from first principles.
The abortion death rate for Irish pre born children in 2019 was higher than the present covid-19 death levels with much thanks to the two fine gentlemen you wrote to.
@@Kitiwake Oh, should I not write to my TDs?
I've been with you all the way with this one John, I really can't see why some people and even experts are in disagreement???? 😉👍
These so called experts don't like being told they are wrong, once apon a time, if you said that the earth was round or the earth went around the sun, the experts would call you mad.
Nothing changes.
@@alanjones8810 100% 👍
Often they spend alot of time saying vitamin D doesn't CURE Covid19, which is not what the supporting studies said.
Political correctness rearing its ugly head.
@@katiehettinger7857 also, vitamin D does in fact cure (or rather, help cure) Covid 19 as was found in for example the spanish study where patients were given an intravenous dose of calcefidiol upon admission to the hospital.
Exelant review on Irish report
I have been advising everyone after you first advise back in January 2020
Keep up the great work
kind regards Sean from the Burren west of Ireland
Well done Ireland, super job. X
This is a really good report from you Doctor Thank You
Never had a doubt about the importance of vitamin D since I first started watching your channel Dr. Great to see some support coming your way!!
I started talking vitamin D when you talked about it last year. I’m a healthy health care worker still. It’s nice to hear more research on it; Canada Health has never mentioned it yet.
Decently dosed vitamin d isn't available in Canada...if you need 5000 or 6000 ius daily ( like Dr. Fauci takes) then you need to take multiple gelcaps daily.
The RIVM or our government has never ever said that being healthy is a very good way to prevent a more severe or at least cope with covid-19. All they say is sit still. And if you get infected, take some paracetamol. You don't even get it prescribed.
Canada is hopelessly devoted to political correctness. It is not politically correct to say that an individuals condition of health is their own responsibility. You can't tell an overweight person they are overweight because they ate too many cakes. And you can't say that people of different races have different health considerations to make regarding personal health because you can only say that all races are human beings and therefore are all the same which is patently false. The Canadian government just says don't worry about your health we will look after you and jab you with a vaccine so you can stay inside watching Netflix ordering bags of skittles from Amazon right to your door so you never have to go for a walk or get sunshine or fresh air at all. Telling people to take vitamins get fresh air and sunshine exercise and eat healthy whole foods is just makes too much damn sense people wouldn't believe it. They would rather scream discrimination and take a highly questionable vaccine jab than take any personal responsibility.
I have been sending vitamin d reports etc. to Health Units, MP's, MPP's, Ministers of Health, the Premier of Ontario and the BLM organization for over a year and have not received a decent reply from any of them. No one seems to be interested in improving health. The human body can look after itself if given the proper nutrients but there does not seem to be one nutritionist advising any government in the country. I think the Indonesians were one of the first to investigate why over 80 percent of the people had no problems with Covid and 20 percent had more issues. Their conclusion, low vitamin d. The rest of the world seems to have ignored this research and suffered the consequences. It won't necessarily keep you from getting Covid but it seems likely it will keep you out of the hospital and that has been the objective all along. I think there are some studies that seem to indicate that you get a better immune response from a vaccine if your vitamin d levels are adequate.
@@Jackoxxable God Bless!Amen!
I really appreciated how hard you work to produce these video's for us everyday! I'm so glad you mentioned depression I suffer and since taking Vit. D it has helped me. Thank you!

Brilliant - this is such a good paper and thank you for highlighting it, Dr John. We have been taking Vit D on your recommendation, since March 2020 and so has my extended family. Really nice for Ireland to lead the way.
"... and I hope this was helpful." - It MOST CERTAINLY IS HELPFUL! Thank you Dr.Campbell! What you said about accountability and governance, cannot be said enough - absolutely right.
Well done Ireland. Why is England always the last to realise good ideas? That is so disappointing.
Several years ago, working about 45 hours per week and commuting (underground) another 16 hours per week for literally decades, I rarely saw sunshine. I also have caring responsibilities, and any spare time I had over the weekend I was catching up on my sleep. By that time, my VitD levels were very low indeed, classed as "defficient", I was constantly catching colds and feeling down. My GP put me on VitD, only for it to be taken away after a year. I checked with my GP again, he tested my VitD levels - I was no longer defficient, but was still "insufficient", however, the GP said that according to NHS, I no longer needed Vitamin D supplements. Like a fool, I believed that NHS knew what they were doing and did not invest in Vitamin D supplements. What a mistake!
Anyway, about 8 or 9 months ago, I realised that Vitamin D could help improve my chances and started supplementing with Vitamin D (also C, Zinc, Magnesium and occasionally a tablet of Selenium). I always take them with food.
Should I consider multivitamins? I really don't know. I always assumed that if I ate healthy home cooked food, that I'd be getting adequate levels of all vitamins and minerals. But we really don't know how much mineral and vitamin content is actually present in our food, because of industrialised food production methods. I'm now making kefir at home - a wonderful discovery, similar to yoghurt, but tastes much nicer. Also, my Bokashi composting bin arrived this morning, and I'm planning to dedicate a part of my garden to drowing a few choice herbs and vegetables. When I say "choice", I actually mean "easy to grow". Parsley, mint, coriander, radishes and maybe onions and leeks... Hopefully, they'll have some good vitamin and mineral content.
Public Health England really need to get their finger out.
I have been taking vitamin D for many months now because of you. So pleased to see how satisfied you are with this study 👍🏻
I started taking Vitamin D last March 3,000 units a day after following your advice on this channel and i'm convinced it stopped me getting more severe illness when i had Covid in October, as i have Type 2 Diabetes and mild COPD.....i cant understand the negligence of this government in not promoting the benefits of Vitamin D supplementation to the public
I discovered Dr Campbell Christmas just gone and because of him started taking vit d in January. My mood has improved immensely and my bones and muscles ache less! I also purchased (Feb) the two vit d tests that Dr John took. They varied quite a bit - one being severely deficient and the other adequate but nevertheless I’ll continue taking 4000iu a day. Thank you Dr John.
Good for you, it’s a good placebo, then.
Hello from NZ Dr John 😊 thanks for all your videos, we watch everyday for your updates and really appreciate all the advice, information and experience and explanations of all the data.

Do let Tim Spector know. He's influenced by the teachings of med school, donkey's years ago, like my GP. 400-800iu per day. That's the rickets dose.

Right, bureaucracy in Europe in the US as well as the politicalization of Covid, causing health professionals to be hesitant to speak out has caused many deaths unfortunately.

Definitly need to ducuss my vitD3 results with hospital again . Why cannot different departments discuss things with each other and get GP to cooperate 🙈
I took this view in Jan 2020......
General concensus,
Government guidelines "low".
"Dangerous dose"?
To be determined.
I went with 50mcg 2000iu.
Shortly after, the dangerous dose was generally accepted to be "over 10,000iu"
As a "tall unit" (6'4"/1.93m) I figured that considering build/ weight, I could easily tolerate 4000iu without testing.
I've been there for a year.
@@rogerstarkey5390 Have you tested? I've been taking approx twice your amount, am NOT tall (light weight, little 62 yr old) and finally got my numbers to 60 ng/ml after working at it almost two years daily.
Many thanks Dr John for this report and many thanks to Ireland for your transparancy.
Thank you. This information just needs to get out to the public in big way. People still aren't aware.
I like the recommendation that people should be offered Vitamin D supplements when presenting at Covid-19 test centres
I agree 💯
my dr said she'd have the shots soon the last time i saw her. told her i'll pass, i'll take the D and the zinc. i'm allergic to everything. not risking it.

I work for 111 covid line and have recommended vitamin D to all patients and their families for a year now. It’s frustrating that this is not considered standard recommendation now

I started taking vitamin D3 after your advice 2 and a1/2 years ago , thank you !! It cost around $5.99 now two years later it has gone up to $9.99 to $12.99 , but I thank you for mentioning it to all of us !
Thank you so much, Dr Campbell, for your daily updates and wise, accessible words. When I moved to Ireland a few years back, my brilliant GP back in Israel prescribed me a daily dosage of 3,000 i.u. Vitamin D just due to relocating to a less sunny climate. I've been taking it since.
I think it would be a kindness if someone could point out this report to Prof. Tim Spector. It would provide him with a little more food for consideration on this matter.
he is a tool and called vitD RUBBISH
Doctors get paid by big pharma tu use certain drugs.i reckon.

And YOU have been "less than complimentary" regarding much of what has been said here, even though it has Scientific and logical basis.
Why should we consider YOUR opinion noteworthy in ANY case?
REGARDLESS of whether you agree with him, he IS entitled to his opinion, You have ZERO evidence that he's "a tool" and he DID NOT "call vitamin D rubbish".
As usual your comments are at "11" (Google spinal tap) and simply make you seem demented (imo, of course)
Maybe YOU need more vitamin D?
@@terencereeder9830
"You reckon"?
REALLY? /s
We are starting to identify that vitamin D has a much broader series of effects on physiological function beyond that of the relationship to calcium, through its immunological effects.
If your immune system is down you're in trouble in so many ways
I was told that if my shadow is longer than me then I'm not making vitamin D.
I've been been using the BetterYou3000 spray in the winter topped up with a cod liver oil tablet. I just take the cod liver oil in the summer and make sure I'm outside a lot.
I started taking it for seasonal depression,, which it has worked for. I have asthma and don't get many colds or chest infections any more.
My last vitamin d3 level was 102.3nmol/L.
Been taking 25ug per day for years as I have MS. Upped it to 75ug after hearing your talks about it!
@Peter Mortensen Yup, don't know why you're telling me as I know that! 🤣
I don't know how you cope with your MS with this dose, if it doesn't significantly improve your symptoms then inform yourself about the Coimbra protocol, but don't do this without a qualified doctor who specializes in that field.

Thanks for your time in reporting this research study from Ireland. It's great that an official government document is so transparent without the financial interference. Let's hope Ivermectin is next to get an official transparent research report without financial interference. Well done John and thanks again.
When are you going to get the opportunity to let the population of UK see this on television. There are lots of health gurus spouting all sorts of rubbish , I would love your talks to get a greater public exposure.
Never will.
"exposure" in another sense. Just ignore lockdowns and expose your bare face to the sunshine. It's contagious
Definitely because he has been there with his videos and research right all the way true thus crisis and is still there to me personally the man is Saint doesn't have to do these videos but there he is
Never as big pharma would lose money
@@vegahimsa3057
You haved listened to the advice here, have you?
Sun exposure for sufficient vitamin D (as I recall)
"60% skin exposure, for 50% of the time it takes you to burn, with the sun 45° above the horizon".
Well, even as far South as London today with 11°c (max), 100% cloud, that'll be 12 hours outside (sunrise to sunset) wearing just a pair of shorts (+mask!) and a decent chance of death by exposure.
Think before you type?

I am so so glad I listened to you Dr Campbell since last year and have been taken it ever since and recommended it to my family thank you Ireland
Fantastic! Finally, a major move to addressing chronic Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. These numbers very much reflect what I see in family practice in Toronto. I will share this information on this side of the pond. Thanks so very much Dr. Campbell.
Oh joy! Perfect timing! Everything makes such sense. When we say a bit of sunshine makes us feel so much better, it's not just psychological. We feel better because we are getting more vitamin D!
In the discussion with Professor Spector I felt you gave reasoned, logical information without denigrating in any way.
@13.34 Thank you for your honesty doctor...let us hope indeed.
Bit like locking the stable door here in UK...Government ignores the efficacy of Vit D. My GP put me on it decades ago.
Thank you our fellow Celts.
Swansea, UK.
Yes it would have been so much better to have firm recommendations like this before the 2nd covid wave hit the UK and other countries last Autumn... How many lives would have been saved with a public health campaign?

I suspect "the door" may hit the (current) UK government "on the arse on their way out"?

Dr Campbell... plsssss start running the WHO.... that organisation definitely needs someone like you in charge
He should, but he’s telling too much truth for the WHO to accept him.
They should all be fired, and replaced with people like Dr Campbell... wouldn't that be great.
You have been a source of calm through this pandemic. Thank you for every bit of information you have supplied
Thank you Doc. Encouraging to see a report to the Irish parliament making such universal recommendations.
wrt your dialogue with Prof Spector, one point he made was that there was no satisfactory definition of what a low level of vitamin D is in the blood. Obviously the Irish report does not accept that!
As a 71 year old I'm on 3,600 iU/day and my 59 year old wife is on 1,600 IU/day and I'm not considering lowering that.
For the first time in my memory I've not had a cold for over 12 months. I normally have 3/year. Perhaps my memory is fading haha!!!
We have been taking Vit D since the start of the pandemic. So far so good 🤞
This Irish report is an example of excellent public health policy - transparent, science-based, free from unnecessary jargon. I can't imagine anything similar being published here in the UK - which says a lot about our current government.
You are not very well informed. The Irish response to the pandemic has been farcical. If it was Fr Ted running the HSE I could well believe it.
This is awesome what Ireland is doing!
I really wish the U.S. Govt. would spread the word about it and act accordingly.
Good to see you are recovering. Thank you for the great job of educating us.
Thanks very much for your report John, waiting here in Ireland to hear about this. Hope it appears in the media soon.
I’m in Ireland and stocked up last year on vitamin D supplements. The last two times I checked in Tesco I couldn’t find any. The message is getting out there.
Well done Joe best to you all in Ireland best wishes from Glasgow scotland 👍

Oireachtas is pronounced “ir-ack-tas” or similar, Dr Campbell. Love your work!
That's about right !
GMLS (Gabh mo leithscéil = excuse me) Can I offer a bog-English phonetic aid to how to pronounce "Oireachtas" {Ir-ock-dhus) said quickly, slight emphasis on middle "ock." I thought I heard Dr John say "ir-ock-dhish" - that would be the genitive case as in The Houses of the OIrtheachtais - a reference to the fact that Ireland has an ELECTED second house, or Senate. W.B. Yeats was a member in his day, BTW. Interested in learning Irish in Britain? email: Londain@cnag.ie PS I'm a D3 4000 iu per day man, taken with 200 units of Vitamin K2 (for reasons you may google - Dr John has a video up on it also.
Thank you yet again for educating us on this and other health related issues.
We got a vitamin D check and are deficient in vit D although we get year round sun in the Canaries we are 70+. Our GP has prescribed 0.266mg of Calcifediol every 15 days. Thank's for your time and information.
We older folks do not take in D as we did when we were young. Pretty sure we're at half-mast at best.
If Ireland follows through on this, (and the UK doesn’t) within a few years, it may be possible to settle the Campbell-Spector debate once and for all.

Go listen to what Spector said, you don’t know what you’re talking about and neither does Campbell.

Brilliant work! Thanks for your commitment
Multiple sclerosis has been tied to lack of vitamin D. Msm here in Canada have said Vitamin supplements are bad because “They give you a false sense of well being and you are more likely to take dangerous risks.” Such as going to church or visiting lonely friends and relatives.Nonsense comes from the wrong end of the horse. Your platform saves lives by gleaning the knowledge from the chaff. Cheers from Alberta!
It has even been suggested that certain coronaviruses may create an autoimmune response in people genetically susceptible. D is known for having an immunomodulatory action but you need healthy kidneys to process it (etc) which is where some people will always fall short.
In Mumbai there is a remdevisir shortage and relatives are struggling to find it. Who knows how many lives vitamin D may assist there for those working or abiding indoors and not spending as much time in the sun?
I sure hope they are already on Ivermectin - with long term Vit D from the sun/or supplementation as background to long term health.
John you’ll be happy to hear that in early February I passed links to a number of your vitamin d videos to one of our Oireachtas members so I’m sure some of their understanding and recommendations also came from watching you 😁
John, I’ve been taking 25 micro grams of Vitamin D daily since I took part in a trial Trinity College Dublin 7 years ago. I was convinced by the benefits then but had heard nothing much about it until I began watching your channel a year ago. (A tiny point - Oireachtas is pronounced “ir-rocktus” approximately!)
Thank to you DR CAMBELL iv been taking vitamin D since January 2020 😁😁😁

Funny how you think there is some sort of competition.
Expanding their market earns billions for Chinese billionaires.
@@Shelmerdine745 There's a big difference between new drugs, which are patented, so only the patent-holder can produce the drug, vs older drugs or vitamins, for which no company holds a patent, and which can be made by more than one supplier.
There is competition, because no-one has a patent. If one company sells Vitamin D with a very high markup, another company can start selling it more cheaply, while still being profitable.
Most of the factories are in China because their labour costs have been lower than western countries, but there's no reason why Vietnam or the Phillipines (for example) shouldn't start manufacturing vitamins.
@@billbaldwin9544
Sure, but the point of this thread was the commercial interest versus people’s lives claim. There is commercial interests involved in the vitamin D debate.
Comparing to patented drugs is another matter entirely and one that I don’t see the point in having at all.
Dr Campbell and Dr Shiva are the best doctors on the internet by a long mile. Would love to see these 2 doctors have a conversation over the internet.
Imagine if our own personal doctors took one tenth of the time that Dr. Campbell does in his videos to explain stuff to us when we visit them in their offices. I know some do, but feel like many do not. It's a shame. But, it also makes me appreciate this individuals postings that much more!
