    Known association, vitamin D deficiency, incident dementia
    nutritionj.bio...
    Role of supplementation is unclear.
    Prospectively study
    Associations, vitamin D supplementation and incident dementia
    N = 12,388 dementia-free people
    (from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center)
    Methods
    Baseline exposure to vitamin D was considered D+
    No exposure prior to dementia onset was considered D−
    MCI and depression were both more frequent in the D− group, compared to D+
    People taking vitamin D had less MCI and less depression
    Adjusted for age, sex, education, race, cognitive diagnosis, depression, and apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4.
    Potential interactions between exposure and model covariates were explored.
    Results
    Across all formulations,
    vitamin D exposure was associated with significantly longer dementia-free survival,
    and lower dementia incidence rate than no exposure
    Hazard ratio = 0.60
    (95% confidence interval:
    0.55-0.65)
    Vitamin D exposure was associated with 40% lower dementia incidence versus no exposure.
    Over 10 year follow up of
    12,388
    2,696 participants progressed to dementia
    Among them the 2,696
    2,017 (74.8%) had no exposure to vitamin D
    679 (25.2%) had baseline exposure
    Exposure to vitamin D was associated with significantly higher dementia-free survival
    5-year survival for D− was 68.4%
    5-year survival for D+ was 83.6%
    The effect of vitamin D on incidence rate differed significantly,
    Vitamin D effects were significantly greater in females versus males
    Vitamin D effects were significantly greater in normal cognition versus mild cognitive impairment.
    Vitamin D effects were significantly greater in apolipoprotein E ε4 non-carriers versus carriers.
    Vitamin D effects were less significantly apolipoprotein E ε4 carriers. (25% one copy, 3% two copies)
    Vitamin D has potential for dementia prevention, especially in the high-risk strata.
    Vitamin D deficiency, worldwide prevalence of up to 1 billion.

    Mechanism of action
    www.nature.com...
    Vitamin D is known to participate in the clearance of amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregates,
    one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD),
    and may provide neuroprotection against Aβ-induced tau hyperphosphorylation
    (neurofibrillary tangles)
    Cholecalciferol may be more effective than ergocalciferol

    You can't know how much this video has meant to me. My mother and her sister both died with Alzheimer's. As did their material aunts. Their mother died of uterine cancer before she was old enough to develope it. I have stage 3 kidney disease and was placed on D3 eight years ago because of that. I am 71 and have worried for a long time that I would definitely develope Alzheimer's. You have given me hope. Thank you for all you do.

      Add Nattokinase, Lion's Mane (dual extract), K2 (you already use D3), MCT oil, a good active B complex (my favorite is the AOR version) and CDP-choline.
      I gave this to my aging parents when they started to get a bit senile.
      I got them to start working out at the gym several times a week and do regular long walks and it helps a lot to keep the health and function you got also. All this improves the brain's ability to keep healthy and to repair itself by improving blood flow and it makes the body produce way more Nerve growth factor (NGF).
      Now they are back to normal and are functioning decade younger.

      lost 40 lbs some of which I have gained back. Dr Berg absolutely saved my life, btw I take 20,000 IU(500 icu) of Vit D and 200 mcg of K2. It absolutely worked for me, also Dr Berg has videos on Dementia, every Friday he takes phone calls from people from all over the world, and will give advice on questions.

    I find this so depressing I worked as a mental health nurse in Dementia care for over 20 years, latterly I used to bang on about Vitamin D supplementation to our Consultant Psychiatrist for all our elderly care home patients , they never saw the light of day ! The psychiatrist thought I was quite 'out there' I became totally disillusioned with the lack of interest in this area of mental health, the overuse of sedatives and pointless medications. There was a small cohort of patients that got Melatonin and I still believe this is another hugely overlooked hormone that has multiple benefits. I retired early from nursing as I wasn't doing any, I was sat behind a desk typing pointless care plans and sitting on a phone trying to get emergency care packages that were never enough. The system is totally broken.

The younger one ended up w all kinds of learning issues and to this day at 31 still cant spell still cant do math problems and takes forever to read. He had 6 mos to go to graduate and stopped going to school and noone told me he wasnt showing up till too late and still cant even pass the ged tests.

      The colicalciferol (D3) is used in possum poison by overdosing them with a massive dose of vitamin D3. I think possums don't use much D3 in their bodies, being nocturnal, so only a small amount of the vitamin is lethal to them. Almost like killing them with kindness. But it's probably a good source of cheap D3 as long as there isn't anything else in there

A former internist had me on D2 and my level of Vitamin D did not budge. Turned out I could not genetically convert D2 to D3. I believe that because I have celiac disease that contributed to the problem. Any way, changed doctors changed to D3 and now I am no longer Vitamin D deficient.

    Eight years ago my joints started stiffening (menopause), I was 52. I did a search and found that Vit D could possibly help. I did more searching and could only find one study that had been done in a nursing home on a small number of patients. It found that it helped them cognitively, especially women. I started taking it and got both my parents to start, they were 84/85 at the time, and had stopped going in the sun for various reasons, basel cell being one. Best thing we all ever did, in hindsight. My mother is almost 93, in great shape mentally and good shape physically.

    My father developed dementia at 85 after taking high dose prednisone for PMR. On his last visit with the rheumatologist I asked if taking vitamin D3 would help, the doct agreed it would be fine. I researched side effects of prednisone and it clearly depletes Vit D3. I brought my dad home with me to northern California, started him on D3 5000iu, Vit C 1000 mg, daily eggs cooked in butter and coconut oil (which he didn't know) to increase the much needed healthy fats in his diet. He improved immediately! Several months later he went into memory care and I asked the staff to take him outside on the patio in the sun at least 15 minutes late morning. I later found out most of the residents were also taking at least 5000 iu vitamin D. I'm convinced had he started taking it several years earlier he would have had better quality of life and later onset of dementia.

Within a week of getting the 'flu I was decorating, carpeting and moving furniture into my daughter's new home - not easy but manageable. A degree of that was sheer bl**dymindedness because I am one of ''those people'', but I put my ability to cope with illness down to keeping my Vit D levels, through supplements or being outside as much as possible, as high as I can. Everyone else seemed to be a minimum of two to three weeks in bed and, for the record, I did notice that those who were persuaded into recent medical interventions seemed to suffer worse symptoms and took far longer to recover than those who avoided that needle. Purely an anecdotal observation, but an interesting one, and perhaps those people would especially benefit from being advised to up their own levels of Vit D [which I do suggest at every opportunity].

      Herr Traupe, do you think using sunscreen encourages people to spend more time exposed to the sun (rather than being sensible, moving in and out of shade, covering up if outside for long periods of time, etc)? From what I understand, skin cancer rates have grown steadily since suntan oils first came on the market in the 1950's. I started looking at these things after a German friend freaked out at me for being ever so slightly sunburnt! I also saw a study recently that showed wearing sunglasses prevents some kind of natural skin protection from "switching on" in the body, and a Swedish study that showed that women that avoid the sun have a higher risk of cancer, approximately the same as smoking a packet of cigarettes every day! I feel more and more that we are being misled by the companies that make sun protective products...

      My position is, homo sapiens have somehow survived for at least 300,000 years without suntan lotion, so I'm going to assume I don't need it. I do my best not to get burnt because it hurts, but I also do my best to get the sun on my skin because then it goes brown and doesn't get burnt. Which I assume is the bodies evolved response to sun exposure - get darker so as to not burn - based on the fact that peoples skin is darker in places where there is more sun.
      And frankly, the older I get (currently 49) the less I trust the products of pharmacutical companies. I used to get a lot of colds and be forever taking cold remedies. I used to get a lot of allergies and have to take pills for that, too. I started cleaning up my diet, getting more exercise, sleeping better/more, practising gratitude, supplementing my vitamins and minerals, stopped using soaps or deodorant full of fragrance etc, and these days I'm rarely sick and the allergies have almost entirely gone. The hay fever that used to knock me on my ass for months every summer gives me a couple of weeks of annoyance in spring and that's it. I occasionally have to take a pain killer if I do something stupid like drink alcohol and smoke tobacco and go to bed late, but that's it. I think avoiding putting chemicals in or on your body is a pretty good idea, so I will continue to not use sun cream 🙂

    I took 2000iu for a period of 6 months,and then 4000iu for 3 months and couldn’t get my numbers out of the 30’s. I am now taking 9500iu daily to finally get my numbers to 72. I started out at 9. Definitely can tell a difference in how I feel physically getting my numbers in the 70’s

      It is my experience that taking higher amt of D3 is necessary to increase Vitamin D levels.

      It's impossible to have high vit d levels while insulin is high from a high carb diet. The vitamins stay locked up in the fat cells and can't come out at all! Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered.
      Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis.
      Fasting increases nitric oxide.
      Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' that is not supposed to be there.
      Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
      After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles as much as 1/3 of all immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system.
      Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
      Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors!
      Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
      Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system.
      Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
      Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus.
      When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state.
      What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast.
      Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
      Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity!
      The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
      Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
      Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses.
      Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more.
      It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention!
      When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging.
      Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
      Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
      A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and under 18 g of carb.
      Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
      Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

      @@crazyratlady3438 Yes, I vary it myself depending on mood! Cider vinegar when you research it has wonderful properties. Seems it very good for keeping arteries clean. I was recommended it after a car crash years ago to prevent arthritis later. I did at the time tend to suffer from what felt like an acid tummy and bowel - a burning feeling. A side effect of starting that morning glass of cider vinegar was that it entirely went away! I recommend that to anyone with tummy acidic feeling.. plus nb get a simple blood test for h pylori. H-pilori is I believe a cause of much Tummy trouble and something many people do not know about. It's cured with a few but strong tablets taken for a few weeks. Not pleasant but the results are great in terms of energy restored and digestive system relief. Worth googling about it for everyone. Everyone should know about it to know to get tested if they have stomach discomfort. Constantly being in pain and tired after food is not fun.

    This is why when there was a study done on sugar with rats it was concluded that dementia was in fact diabetes of the brain caused by sugar. The rats were put into a water container that had a small island that could rescue them from drowning… the rats that had sugar diets never remembered where the island was from one to the other, whereas those rats without sugar remembered immediately… interesting that there is a correlation between diabetes and dementia.

    JUST sent this message to my mom's care home in Stourbridge UK.. Hi Sam/Claire,
    Do you remember that I asked for mom to receive Vitamin D3 supplements last year, and the quacks declined? well..
    Vitamin D reduced dementia by 40%
    The UK's Dr John Campbell reports
    This has JUST been published and was a 10-year study. I would ask you to PLEASE ask the drs for my mom to have her Alpha Hydroxy Vitamin D levels measured, as MOST vitamin D comes from skin-sun exposure, and it's been a while since mom went sunbathing in her bikini - LOL!
    The OPTIMUM level of Vitamin D3 is 60 ng/ml or 150 nmol/l but mom has a VDR1 mutation meaning she needs even MORE than most, just like me.. I maintain 100 ng/ml, which keeps me, and particularly my (MS) shrunken brain and my immune system, healthy!
    My bet is that EVERY person in your home is deficient BTW.. wouldn't it be awesome to see your patients' cognitive health improve as a result of prescribing incredibly CHEAP Vitamin D3 or Calcediol?
    All The Best,
    Caroline Snyder

    I stumbled across Vitamin B12 when I read it could help with carbon monoxide poisoning (post heater leak). It turned out that I was B12 deficient and anemic. B12 improved my cognitive abilities significantly. I went from no short-term memory to having a very sharp mind again and felt better in general. Iron supplements have helped with my shortness of breath, and basically eradicated it (due to my B12 deficiency), and since taking Vitamin D, I've been pneumonia-free, whereas, prior to taking supplements, I'd had pneumonia 4 years running. Vitamin supplementation benefits are suppressed by Big Pharma, because there's no money in it. I've never been healthier.

    Great news and reporting Dr. Campbell, thank you. In America there are several online testing services where you can order Vitamin D testing for about $50 and have blood drawn at local labs to ascertain deficiency, and baselines in conjunction with supplementation.
    Apparently, some may not require supplementation to maintain healthy levels, where others may require only 1,000iu daily, others 5,000 and still others (as in my case), may require 10,000 or more to maintain healthy levels during winter,
    This is something I've been watching and suspected for years as dementia appears to be related to autoimmune and inflammation I suspect that other measures to reduce inflammation and autoimmune conditions may be of benefit in terms of dementia as well.

      ​@@cherylkedzior About 10 years ago before I started Vitamin D3 supplementation, and was very sick, almost unable to walk, and suffering from Autoimmune conditions and showing extremely high anti-nuclear antibody titers, my D25 levels were about 3ng/ml (Low normal is considered 20ng/ml). After about two months of 2000 to 4000IU per day, my levels had risen to 10ng/ml, and my health greatly improved. 8 more weeks at 8,000IU brought my D25 to about 18ng/ml and my anti-nuclear antibodies had dropped to about 1/6 of what they were and out of the life-threatening range.
      For the next year and through that summer I tried to take about 6,000IU per day and was at about 20ng/ml with a fair bit of sun exposure.
      About a year ago at that 6,000iu level I was back down to about 14ng/ml. After two months at about 15,000 to 25,000IU of D3 trying to get to at least 30ng/ml for Covid safety levels, I was at 24ng/ml. Other people I know in the 60+ range report having to take about 12,000IU per day to stay in the 20 to 30ng/ml level.
      Experts on vitamin D supplementation suggest that it can take 6 to 9 weeks until supplementation reaches a plateau, that in northern climates like Canada, Northern parts of America and the UK, that in Midsummer in full sunlight, that you might only get two or three hours around noon to where the sun is strong enough to create useful D25 levels.
      So, physicians often recommend checking kidney function and with a physician before heavy vitamin D supplementation. Personally, I found that using inexpensive online testing services such as Request A Test, check vitamin D levels every couple of months, along with tracking sun exposure and vitamin D supplementation levels provided a good sense of what supplementation was required. After years of supplementation, I think I'm sort of able to judge where my levels are, just by symptoms that surface or go away at around the 15ng/ml D-25 level.
      Personally, I would also strongly advise having antinuclear antibody testing done, just to get a baseline idea of where your auto immune levels might be before starting D3 supplementation. That way if you have symptoms go away after vitamin D supplementation and you also notice that your anti-nuclear antibody levels dropped after vitamin D supplementation, that your symptoms may be related to an autoimmune condition, and further testing might be of benefit.
      I suspect that if one's concerned about dementia or Alzheimer's, that antinuclear antibody testing and CRP reactive protein testing (Basic inflammation) might give clues to immune and autoimmune health, can provide an indication of possible lifestyle and health changes required to lower inflammation and auto immune levels.
      Additionally, I have a good friend at Harvard University who's an immune researcher, who has been studying the SARS virus and mRNA vaccines, who explains and expresses strong concerns for the possibility of a broad based increase in autoimmune conditions related to Nurodegenerative disease and cancers related to the effects of the novel virus and novel injections, therefore an increased need for cancer screening and vigilance, and in addition to that, perhaps autoimmune testing and surveillance might be reasonable as well.

      ​@@kathrynmcaravy5966 you're welcome, thank you for taking the time to mention it. Find Mindy was not some thing I originally had interest in looking into, but when one suddenly becomes very ill, can no longer function and is in a threatening situation that medical professionals cannot comprehend, and therefore have no interest in diagnosing and treating, one is left to one's best devices.
      Personally I started by researching symptoms and possible causes, and then found an affordable way to do a large amount of testing, which revealed a few telltale clues such as dangerously Autoimmune actors that suggested a serious autoimmune diseases, and very low vitamin D 25 levels.
      I did speak with a narcissistic abusive rheumatologist, who Said "it's nothing to worry about, everybody has low vitamin D levels! You need to be on immune suppressants and steroids NOW!", and when I handed him printed copies of Peer reviewed research suggesting a link between auto immune and vitamin D levels and the importance of D3 supplementation, he became irate and said if I would not take the suppressant and steroids I would likely die in 6 to 12 months, and he would not see me until I started on the suppressant and steroids.. When I contended in his assertion he became abusive and argumentative, and when I stood my ground demanding he read with peer reviewed reports, he became so offended he called the police to have me taken for psychological evaluation, misleading me by saying he had someone coming to help me.
      Before the police arrived and I was waiting in an exam room, he reduced a elderly lady in the exam room next to me to tears after she said that the immunosuppressants and steroids were making her seriously ill. Later then to my surprise he handed me over to two police officers, they asked me "what the hell is going on here?" I told him that the doctor was an abusive public menace and he just reduced another patient to tears with his abuse and they needed to check on her. They did, and she confirmed his abuse, and when the police asked to speak privately with him, he fled out a back door saying he was late for an appointment.
      Well, after that, came to the uncomfortable realization that I had to take my own health into my own hands, and with a little advise and help from friends, One a USAF Flight surgeon and another, specialist in women's reproductive and hormonal health I got some insights and within a couple of months of high D3 limitation my health greatly improved and my anti-nuclear antibody (Autoimmune) levels had dropped below life-threatening levels.
      I provided another hopefully not too lengthy response to Cheryl below, in regards to what I experienced with vitamin D levels and D3 supplementation if you might be interested.
      Cheers and wishing you all the best.

    Thanks for the interesting and informative study explanation. I know about the benefits of taking vitamin D3 and K2 from listening to advice. I would like to also push for the advancement of vitamin B12 too. I suffered years of chronic pain and shaking uncontrollably, as well as foggy thinking, clumsiness and health issues. It finally got so I collapsed at work and had to hospitalised for a week. They tested me for everything to see what was wrong. They started saying I was psychosomatic. It wasn't until my GP ran another series of blood tests, as I was getting worse, she included measuring my B12 level. I can only think she was aware that this may be important. It was rock bottom, it was the lowest she'd seen for a long time. I was put on B12 injections right away, every 13 weeks and the change was dramatic. I could finally breathe, think and have independence. I looked into the history of B12 and found it was vital to a host of physical and mental needs. And so many people are low in it, yet they are never tested. Yet it could help an amazing array of medical conditions like dementia. Why don't doctors routinely look for it? Could it be that it'd totally reduce the amount of money pharmaceutical companies make? Now, I'm sure that's the reason, it's another cheap vitamin that can be bought in supermarkets. But are hospitals and surgeries told not to rest for it unless they are requested by patients? Now I'm certain that is the case, another disgraceful incident of profit over health care.

      Vitamin B12 is easily identified in patients via a CBC/full blood count. So, there is no need in my opinion to conduct a Vitamin B12 testing. I feel like it's an extra charge on the patient if such a test is ordered. Vitamin B12 is a component in synthesizing healthy sized Red blood cells. And just looking at CBC(which also looks at the mean size of RBCs, if the cells are too large than there is suspected deficiency in vitamin B12 or folate and patient I am guessing is prescribed with that for treatment). What was your MCV on the CBC if I may ask? Idk if there are cases where RBCs are normal appearing with a normal size to them, yet there is definiciency in vitamin B12 since that seems illogical. But, if it does exist than maybe Vitamin B12 testing would prove slightly more important but offcourse not a preliminary test.
