Evidence that Vitamin D Supplementation Could Reduce Risk of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections and Deaths
www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/12/4/988
To reduce the risk of infection,
it is recommended that people at risk of influenza and/or COVID-19,
consider taking 10,000 IU/d of vitamin D3 for a few weeks to rapidly raise 25(OH)D concentrations,
followed by 5000 IU/d.
The goal should be to raise 25(OH)D concentrations above 40-60 ng/mL (100-150 nmol/L).
For treatment of people who become infected with COVID-19, higher vitamin D3 doses might be useful.
Vitamin D deficiency is relatively common
Especially among the elderly, the obese, and patients with comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, COPD, and CKD
Vitamin D induces
Production of antiviral peptides (defensins),
especially in the respiratory epithelium
Vitamin D upregulates anti-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10),
and downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alfa
Vitamin D effects angiotensin-converting enzyme axis,
which has a protective effect against ARDS
Efficacy of activated vitamin D supplementation in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
1-hydroxy-vitamin D was prescribed on day 1 or 2 (median duration 8 days)
To evaluate the effect of 1-hydroxy-vitamin D,
on the prevention of severe disease and mortality,
in patients hospitalized for COVID-19.

1-hydroxy-vitamin treatment may improve outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID- 19,
reducing composite outcomes including the need for additional respiratory support and in-hospital mortality.
We were told to blindly take the 'Jab' and to basically ignore the science. I'm glad I never gave in. Keep spreading the truth, Dr. John.
The optimal dose is 30,000 units!

The Science wasn't ignored, it was banned from discussion regarding possible helpfull alternative treatments.
I wish I’d done the same. Two jabs in spring 2021 and the autumn booster, same as Dr Campbell. Woke up in 2022 and declined all offerings since.

@@kathydavis2764 What's up bot?
Anecdotally, I worked at Walmart during COVID. I was on immunosuppressants due to MS. I was also prescribed vitamin d due to a deficiency. I did not get COVID, was not vaccinated and worked at a major retailer open to the public during the pandemic. I attribute my resiliency to the high doses of vitamin d.
What brand do you use?
Good point!
Haha similar story here too. Still waiting my turn for the cov.
How much are/were you taking?
How much do you take ?
Glad to see Dr Ryan Cole vindicated on this point, one of the few who publicly stressed the importance of Vitamin D at the beginning of the pandemic.
Dr. Cole is A hero. Came across this lecture to committee in the Idaho legislature the beginning of the pandemic. Right after the vaccines came out. It was mostly about vitamin D. He was the first guy to say “there’s not a flu season there’s a low vitamin D season“.
Now a lot of people are saying that.
Someone asked him about vaccines being safe in pregnancy. At this point they were new. He did not say anything negative about the vaccine but noted that a friend of his had a still birth seven months pregnant right after taking the vaccine.
He knows a lot more now. He is in persecuted every witch way board complaints etc. decrease business for his pathology company but he has flown around the world a little sleep giving lectures to anyone that wants to learn about Covid. One of the few in the United States and the only one I know of that can stain on autopsy for spike proteins and differentiate between the spike proteins from Covid and that from the vaccine.
what pandemic?
I wrote to my political representatives on Vitamin D was at it 's low point in the general public, I was ignored.

Im 55 years old and ive never witnessed such generosity from a Dr or Author. I recall the price of these texts in university and they were both required and unaffordable.
I thank you Doctor Campbell. You will be always remembered as a great man, a gentleman, and genuine man. And on heck of a public speaker. A great professor who makes learning more 'absorbent'.
Its a shame that one of the many billionaires out there wouldn't help fund wider research of these not Profitable alternatives.
Very happy to hear you suggest K2 as well. I believe in their efficacy.
Those billionnaires are too busy raking in their profits from Big Harmer. They have no interest in anyone's health except their own.
Please remember takeing D3 with K2 is not advisable if you have had the covid vaccines! As both the vaccine & K2 can cause clotting! Both my pharmacist & physiotherapist & my GP told me that! Luckily I chose not to take the shots! So I can safely take D3 with K2. Don't know if John knows that, as he did not mention it!
A totally lovely being!
Dr John, your service to mankind is irrefutable!
THANK YOU
A master class, every time Dr. John speaks!
Would you know how much K2, if 4-8000 D3 is taken each day?
A few years ago my husband I decided to test our vitamin D levels and found that they were below average, even though we get plenty of sun since we live in Italy. We used supplements, but were getting slow results. Later on we had a genetic test which found that our CDX2 receptor for vitamin D was defective which explained why. Since then we have increased out vitamin D intake (+ vitamin K2, thank you Dr. John) and our levels are now in the higher range. We are 76 and 78 years old, alert, active and well!
I never heard of that receptor. I imagine it's hereditary, too. I'm half Italian, and my D is always below normal or normal but in the low end of the range. Maybe I should get tested. I've upped my D to 4400 a day and hope it helps. How much did you have to take, if I may ask.
P.S. No doctor ever told me to take K2 with the D3, but since finding that out on my own I now take both.
I've heard that if you live above the 37th parallel line North latitude, you're not going to get enough sun. Your body is not gonna make enough Vitamin D from the influence of the sun.
Italy, England. No and no.
40,000 ius here 4400 is nothing. Check out dr bergs videos about dosage

Especialy when,at the beginning,Dr John was for the vaccine,and little by little ,being very cautious,he tells us of the innacuracy of the officials report,his changing view about this topic,At that moment,we all knew how reliable Dr John 's advices were.
Thank you John,after 3 years that I follow you,I must tell you my respect for you work!😊

He also was probably responsible for a lot of people taking the clot shot unfortunately...
I always got sick every winter. Thought it was just normal. Started my own 10 year personal vitamin D Trial. I took 2000 IU per day fall and winter. Aimed for serum D levels of 50 ng/ml. 2013 thru 2023. Here are my 10 year results:
* Years 1 and 2. No sickness.
* Year 3 stopped the D. Sick as a dog by Christmas week.
* Years 4 thru 10 reinstated the D. No sickness years 4 thru 10.
Never caught covid.
Never tested for covid, guaranteed.
2000 IU is low.
@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt Research is still pretty lacking, but daily doses above 4K IU have been correlated with more than double the bone mineral density decay over time of people on a 400 IU dose, high calcium loss and higher chance of kidney stones. High doses (10K+) may lead to toxicity and kidney disease.
Definitely need more long term studies before I'd be willing to recommend higher doses...plus more research into actual effects on seasonal affective disorder, as at this point there's limited evidence at best that vitamin D can treat it.
@@auturgicflosculator2183 Nope! I'm 62 years old and have been told by a dentist and doctor, I have the bone density of an 18 year old. Nutrition is a complex science and I recommend a variety of vitamin and mineral supplementation rather than a single one. They all work in concert and interact with each other in constructive and destructive ways. D3 and calcium supplementation should be taken with K2 for instance. A quality nearly complete multi- vitamin is recommended by me but this is difficult to find. Avoid a multi with vitamin E is another tip.
@@auturgicflosculator2183 You can take doses as high as 70,000 IU for several months with no ill effects. I've been taking 6000+ IU for many years along with a host of other vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I'm told I look nowhere close to my age.
I care for my terminally ill Dad and made him take vit D3 etc throughout the pandemic and ever since his diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer 2 years ago I've religiously given him a Vit D3 +K2 supplement every day especially important with having extensive tumours throughout his bones and am convinced that is a big contributory factor as to why he's already outlived his prognosis by over 12 months. Oh and also he's 84 and not jabbed despite having come under pressure to have them by the doctors.
Wow 84 years old unjabbed with sage 4 cancer and still alive two years later, that’s just fantastic. Well done you for having the common sense to give your dad Vit D with k2. I take it myself I’m unjabbed as well and I think it has kept me reasonably well, I’m 74 I also take zinc and turmeric. I will never take any MRNA jabs ever.

Thank You
Thank you!
Good man!
Thank you for the summary 👍.
Much appreciated
My father is elderly in a care home with diabetes & dimensia. Due to your videos early on, I put him on Vit D & K supplement. They had outbreak & he was fine through it. TY Dr Campbell
Great to hear
Sadly my family took the other rout and grandma is no longer with us.
she was 80+, she had a long life
@nodi1217 / Sad to hear. Unfortunately, in the USA, it appears many are hopelessly dumbed-down ... 😔
Is he vaccinated?
dementia?
Sorry for your loss. My Dad did get jabbed several times. He was fantastic until he got them, then dimensia set in. No more of them but to little to late.
Stay in this fight, making citizens better scientific and critical thinkers regarding public health. Thank you.
Absolutely right! I've learned so much and become a (healthy) critical thinker through following this channel over the last 3 years
I’ve been listening to you ever since Covid started. I’ve been taking 10,000 IU of Vit D3 for years. At my last appointment with my RA doctor she informed me that I needed to stop it as my levels are too high. I did drop to 5,000 but am not willing to stop it all together. They discovered I have some lung nodules last year during a stint in the hospital for gallbladder surgery and will be doing a follow up on that at the end of the month. Not sure how much to take after all of this information.
So much they hide to make us sick. I'm so angry my family will only listen to stupid doctors and won't even look at all the great low carb & carnivore doctors. Sickness & pain in my house and no one wants to listen. I can't even get my wife or kids to walk outside for 20 mins of sun. The establishment has done their job too well.
@@nancykading9058 ... Maybe try taking the same amount but less often, perhaps every other day would be better, it will give your body a better chance of balancing itself out. I usually take 5,000 IU a day but miss two days together each week. So that's 25,000 IU every five days then I miss two days, then start over again. Just something for you to ponder on. 🙂
I love how he talks about vitamins as NOT being a multi billion dollar industry. There is PLENTY of money to be made and being made in the supplement industry
I can’t say this often enough…. So grateful for all you do Dr John.
Here here
Dear Dr. John and anyone else who is interested, I just learned via Dr. Eric Berg and the research article he cited on his podcast that we also need adequate magnesium to activate Vitamin D both in the liver and then in the kidneys. It does not matter whether you take a Vitamin D3 supplement or convert cholesterol into Vitamin D3 via the UVB light of the sun, we still need adequate magnesium for the activation process of Vitamin D. Thank you for all you do!!! Susan
Sunflower seeds are a great food source of magnesium. Russian peasants lived on them! And not a lot else...
True, but unlike D3 you can get magnesium pretty easily in your diet. Particularly from nuts and seeds.
Vit K2 is also needed
Magnesium is an essential mineral and is critical in hundreds of processes in the body, especially hormonal balance, of which vitamin D is also a critical component.
Most of the population of North America is deficient in magnesium. Our soils are not rich in it, and petrochemical agriculture inhibits magnesium uptake in plants. This is how glyphosate kills weeds. It does so through inhibiting mineral uptake.
But then you need to watch your electrolyte balance. We generally get enough sodium, but potassium not so much. It might be a better idea to use a simple electrolyte mix of sodium, potassium magnesium, rather than a straight magnesium supplement.
I wish Millions more listened to you ,You speak Truth and Facts , Not lies and fear.
I wish... Will millions more can't. Because UA-cam is censoring us. I live in Canada and every time I've even mentioned John Campbell's name in a comment they take it down without even telling me... All the media outlets are still pushing the big vaccine lie. Total conspiracy. Frightening. Even going against the Nuremberg code.
People are finicky. To say the least
He says childhood vax is safe..
@@sketchsiwhen? Be specific please
Yeah, just like a year ago when he was promoting the vaxxx!!! Keep that in mind!
There is no " Flu Season " , there is a " Lack of Sun Season " it's called Fall and Winter. I found this out years ago when I started working the midnight shift for years with no sun. I used to get the Flu shot every year and would randomly get the flu, but once I had my blood checked for low Vit D and if was verified that it was low, I started taking Vit D3 at 8000 IU's every day. My levels are right in the middle of the good reading's. I no longer get sick and I don't take the flu shot anymore. I never took the covid shot's either and never came down with it. This is all with 0 sun exposure and just taking daily Vit D3.
No its not its called Atumn and Winter...😂😂
Incredible
I think most reasonable people realise in the North we get flu and colds in the winter mostly, when its cold and wet.
This shows the power of summer sun to keep us healthy.
With Covid it is important to take supplements say from October to April or so.
I take cod liver oil and buy a litre bottle which lasts at least one year at a cost of 28 then 36 euros.
Compare to a vaccine at over 100 euros cost to government.
I would ask why government pay a hundred dollars but not the 28 or 36 euros ( inflation )
😊 super you did right!!
This is 2023 and we realise the importance of Vitamin D.
Why was this not explained during authorities Man Made Covid virus predating 2019 that taking Vitamin D was no longer OPTIONAL if you valued your life?
Yes I will give it to you if you say Autumn but not Atumn ... @@liverpoollou246 😀

What is interesting is that as a child, my asthma was much better in summer when I went outside. Since I've had a dog I spend more time outside my asthma has disappeared. I still had it in my 20s. On John's advice I took vitamin D during the pandemic and told my elderly Dad too. Dad didn't catch covid even though he went grocery shopping
Dr John you are a gem! Free downloads of your books!!! You’ve kept us all highly informed through Covid and beyond. You should be knighted. We should all call you Sir John in honor of your marvelous self.

The optimal dose is 30,000 units!
ua-cam.com/video/ZYJ1GHRDiRc/v-deo.htmlsi=ge6tnWT5roKaUUvI
How much dose of vitamin D do you take daily?
Careful with calcium pills ! Try to consume calcium naturally,I heard several doctors saying that this pills create buildup in your arteries.
Blessings to you
@@jayfigueroa2728 5000iu
Once I added magnesium glycinate along side of my vitamin D it really escalated my D level. Went from 25 to 75 in few months and has been steady ever since! I take 5000iu of D and 400mg of magnesium
I live in Japan (Tokyo) & I'm surprised to hear vit D levels were low in Japan. There is a much higher intake of fish (i.e. salmon, herring & sardines) with high vit D levels in Japan than in western countries. That being said, Japan's COVID mortality rates were much better overall. I suspect the diet played into it. Thanks to Dr. Campbell, I started following his channel in 2020 & listened to his advice on vit D. I (unfortunately) got 4 jabs - I'm type-1 diabetic & there was lots of fear-mongering about risk levels for diabetics during the pandemic ... (thanks Pfizer, Moderna & CDC!). However, I've been on minimum 5000 IU intake & have yet to get COVID. So thank you SO VERY MUCH Dr. Campbell for your pragmatic, well-informed & ethically-driven advice throughout all of this. I hope you can believe that you have very likely saved countless lives through your well-reasoned, unbiased advice.
Actually Finland and Scandinavian countries eat a lot of vitamin D in their diet (herring especially aswell as other fish) and even have other food (milk, I think) fortified with it.
I'm Scottish and love salmon, herring, oily fish and seafood. There's a lot of it found in the North Sea and rivers here.
Sadly, Scots don't eat enough of it (they should, especially in winter) and the corrupt (allegedly) SNP Government didn't mention it never mind encourage eating it during the last few years and still don't.
Makes one wonder if governments truly have their citizens' best interests at heart...
Your generosity in education, wisdom and sharing your books for free is absolutely inspirational Dr John. We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️
My level of vitamin D was about 55 ng/ml (140 nMol/l) a year ago. After an infection in my lungs, it dropped to 37 (92). It took me about four months to get back to 56 (140). Once or twice, I asked a lab to check for vitamin D myself (it cost between 15-20 euros, not that high). What struck me, the level dropped quite dramatically in the few weeks the infection lasted.
That actually is very interesting and the reason for the drop after infection would be even more interesting to find that cause.
It makes me wonder if reserves of vit. D are used rapidly as a form of rapid treatment during times of infection or even possibly if the infection is tricking the body into a rapid loss of the vit. D....
@@ihatesignupsgrrrrrrrOr the infection impedes the absorption of vitamin D
John I take 10k per day, and that finally increased my levels 50+ ng/ml
@@ihatesignupsgrrrrrrryes. I feel you’re accurate. The vit d works very hard during infection and thus get used up.
@@williammiller8613I reviewed a study that showed taking high dose then taking a break was most effective. Than a low dose regularly. Sorry I don’t have the link.
All through the pandemic working as an ER doctor I checked vitamin D levels and every patient I saw they came in and had a positive Covid test they were somewhat ill or older. I checked the level and all the people that I was getting the hospitalist service to admit. I think I admitted about three or 400 people in that first 2 1/2 years till Delta finally petered out. I only saw two people with normal levels. Everyone else’s level was low. Hundreds of people. I gave everybody 5000 units of vitamin D while in the ER but I don’t know if the hospitalist or infectious disease doctors ever continued it in those patients. I am skeptical of that. It doesn’t seem to be taken very seriously in America.
Ironically I got a fairly severe Covid case myself and had to be hospitalized with stroke symptoms confusion severe gastroenteritis in spite of being on 5000 units of vitamin D all through the pandemic. I never got my level checked. If I did I would’ve probably doubled up on my vitamin D and wouldn’t have had that severe illness.
Everyone find the doctor understands vitamin D and will check your levels and counsel you on what to do.
It works better if you use the D3 that has also got K2.
Thank you Dr. Campbell
The day you realize on your show that the shots weren’t all they were cracked up to be there was a lot of rejoicing among the Covid warrior community. Keep it up
I'm so impressed by what you did for your patients. The ER Docs here seem to have given up. Just as an example, I got sent home with severe salmonella and bleeding ulcer, after 1 bag of IV fluids. Thankfully, a friend nursed me back to health, and I'm very strong. That's the way it is in Nova Scotia. People like you are hard to find. And my GP is the absolute BEST! I thank you both for your comment, and your service. Medicine should be a calling, not a career. You, obviously, heard the call. xx
100% correct. I've been taking Vitamin D3:K2 since the early parts of this year and noticed an instant difference soon as I took it! 👍💖

I am also taking magnesium to help activate multiple reactions.
I’m sorry you had quite severe Covid. You implied you are not vaccinated. Maybe vaccines play a part in protecting against severe illness? You were already talking vit D and K2 so isn’t it possible that vaccines aren’t all bad?
I’m on the fence not a doctor but run a care home for elderly who seem to have benefited from the vaccines protection. We sadly have not been able to get permission to give residents high dose D3 which we would have liked to do.
Thanks again.

I never took VD until you suggested in the early covid days and I've been taking daily ever since. Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Since taking vit d I've not had any chest infections. As in the past used to have chest infections twice a year..I'm not a smoker, but elderly..so it's been excellent for me.
Started increasing my Vit D3 in 2020. Based upon info on Dr Campbell's channel. Supported by other channels. Began with abt 34 ng/ml level. Varied my daily intake. Based upon various sources; Vit D appears safe up to 100 ng/ml. Recommended optimal levels varied from 40 to 80 ng/ml. In late 2022, my level was abt 70. Going to get it chkd again. My current dose is 6,000 IU/day. I am older white male, not obese, with no known comorbidities. Living near Southern border of Canada.
During Covid I attempted to advise over 20 ppl and couples abt Vit D importance. Virtually no one showed any interest beyond polite impatient listening. Surprising to me how little interest there was.
One of these, a very obese woman, was hospitalized. Another couple, were both infected with Omicron. Both had significant symptoms for abt 10 days. Stayed at home. Another older male was infected. Has had debilitating long Covid for over 18 mos. He can't work.
Be wise everyone. Supplement your Vit D. 🤔🤔🤔
My doctor was shocked "5,000IU per day! but the calcium!". So, I told him about K2 (which they don't learn), and referred him to my number, which was 55, after 2 years of 5,000IU / day. We have a great relationship, and he's always tested for B & D deficiency, so I gave him the information and he's now 'on board' with D3/K2, higher doses. He's also doing IF as well, after I told him about it, and gave him links to a couple of lectures by Drs. Fung and Jamnadas. From Down East, Nova Scotia

thats because you are no authority... you are no random paid person on tv who tells this, also you are no pharma lobby financed and educated gimp... also you do not wear any kind of uniform... of course they dont listen to you.
why trust own family and friends who have your interest at heart when you can trust a random unknown person who has any interest at heart, except yours.
clear choice!
I’m a doctor myself and I told everybody about taking D3 in January 2020 onwards but few took my advice and believed in a toxic jab 💉
My primary physician passed away and his partner ordered blood tests which included Vitamin D. It was found to be 15. So, I began to supplement with 5,000 IUs of D3 daily with 150 mcg of K2. My levels after 3 months went up to 34 and hopefully are even higher now. The end result for me is feeling much less fatigue, blood sugar and kidney function already moderately improved. I feel better - bottom line.
Good for you, keep going!
Everything I read on the subject said 20-50'000 IU at the start for vitamin D deficiency, then reduce
Never without magnesium dude!
Excellent!
Magnesium correlation and dependency WOULD BE GREAT!!
Dr John, I have been taking 7000 IU of vitamin D for the past three years (5000 D3 supplement and 2000 in my multivitamin). My doctor tested my D levels because he said I was taking too much! My level was 78.2 ng/ml. 😊
Thanks to. your pioneering research on vitamin D, I survived Covid and RSV six weeks apart at 72 years with asthma. You are amazing!
I am taking 20,000 IU a day along with vit K2. Blood level is 90ng/ml. Havent been sick in 3 years when beofre taking D I was sick 2 or 3 times a year. People think high vit D in blood is toxic, it is not. I am much more comfortable close to 100 ng/ml than in the 50-60ng/ml. Not vaccinated, 53 years old, feeling great
How many tablets would that be ,Thnks
I have started taking 20,000 too because I kept getting shingles (without a rash) and was sick of it. I work with children and normally get sick every winter, so will see if I'm sickness-free this winter.
Do you take it as a tablet or an oil softgel?
I have bought the tablet form but them read it is fat soluble so should be in a soft gel?

We knew all this at the very beginning but !
D3
Thank you John for always bringing us the truth in a clear, concise manner. Cheers from Canada.
Dr. thank you. I got on vitimin D3 very early in the beginning of the pandemic. I take vitamin D and C daily as well as drinking ensure for more micro vitamins. Very much improved health now. Even small injuries heal faster. Thank you for showing what you know with me(us). Helping others is the best we can do. Especially now a days.
I was diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency about 5 years ago after being on it for a month not only did my symptoms improve but i noticed a change in my mood as ihave struggled with depression all my life. After noticing this i had a poke around on line and found studies that backed up what i noticed.
TY
I lived through a Winter in Finland and everyone there took Vitamin D, older people took it all year-round along with zinc and magnesium. The sauna is also seen to give many health benefits.
Yes,there has bee a lot of talk about studies lately that saunas can benefit your health as much as exercising and the benefits seem to go up with frequency of use.
@@marycastronova4973the benefits were reduced to weight loss in the days gone by... But now they deny sauna altogether and want us all to take drugs.

Stopped taking my D3/K2 for the summer and started to feel very low - started on 5 000 units a day again and that’s done the trick, feel so much better. Very interesting research from Japan - no need to wait for research from Britain (too slow to catch a cold as they say). Thanks John for keeping us updated so we can take informed decisions about our own health.
Your information dr john is of absolute importance! For the good of all please continue with your 'calling', that's how you're viewed by your followers. The transparency, hope, exposure , information, foresight, evaluation ...I could go on....is why we are all here. You have everyone's backing on your amazing contribution to humanity. Thank you.
I'm in my 60s and have taken vitamin d as a supplement since my teens , can't remember the last time I got a cold and never got COVID , but didn't have the jab either, it's always worked for me.
My next door neighbor was diagnosed with COVID in early 2020. His symptoms were high fever(104), headache chills and high blood pressure. His doctor told him to get vitamin D3, magnesium and zinc. He was unjabbed as am I. I started all 3 supplements in early 2020. No COVID and not even a cold. My experience with these vitamins has been very positive and I will continue taking them.
We are so fortunate to have met you online. You are the old school style physician who actually cares about the wellness of your patients and upholds the oath you took when embarked on this journey. Thank you so much. Blessings to you and all that you do to help humanity.
Brother John, I love you so much! You give free knowledge to the people and you do it with the most soothing voice! And PDFs!❤
Hi from Slovenia, I am very happy for every new video of yours. Such a blessing you are, Dr.Campbell❤🙏 many thanks!
My doctor told me that when couples who are married or living together share the same types of physical symptoms, it’s probably because they need vitamin D. If not, it’s most likely diet/lifestyle related. This is due to the probability that they share the same diet and lifestyle.
Thank you as always, our wonderful Dr. Campbell. And an extra-big ** thank you ** for pointing out, after about 11:55, that what the conventional-medicine doctors call "acceptable" levels of Vitamin D are based on what you need to do to prevent rickets. I played that bit five times. Lord knows I needed the boost -- something to make me smile. Thank you again! You are such a treasure to so many of us. ❤
Dr. John is a GIFT from above, and his followers are confirming that in their comments all ways along. All his videos are informative and educational for the better living of mankind. He is one of my favorite people on this channel. Pure soul and heart, very unique Great Man, God look after Him on his journey always. God bless all good people on this planet. 🙏😇❤❤❤
I have an autoimmune disorder. About 15 years ago, my Vit. D level was eight. Yes, a one digit number eight. Nobody said anything to me back then. I'm not sure most docs will now either. :(
Oh my!
Same here, but also have parathyroid disease.
If the autoimmune disorder is one with granulomas (such a sarcoidosis) then Vit D tricky. Granulomas will create d 1,25 the converted form of D in the body. This means the dietary D, sun exposure, etc., needs to be kept to a minimum to protect the body from creating too much of the d 1,25, which when too high causes calcium to dump from the bones. This causes osteoporosis, as well as a danger to the brain with a blood calcium level that is too high. Very important to know if a person has a granuloma disease when testing for dietary Vit D levels. A low level is a body's protective measure from the calcium dump.
@@Jennifer-ky9bw if k2 is taken with vitamin D3 it helps the absorption of calcium in to the bones rather than being dumped else where in the body.
@@Jennifer-ky9bw i heard this before. not doubting this, but do you have a source for this where too much vitamin D will cause leaching of calcium from the bones?
i also read that the case for sarcoidosis is not clear yet, because the lumps are concentrations of immune cells doing things... a thing vitamin D actually is thought to protect from.
but the generell recommendation right now is too go low and slow on vitamin D when having active sarcoidosis.
I’m in the US and have been surprised to hear it is difficult to get vitamin D tested in the UK. My physician tests my levels twice a year as routine, which I believe is fairly common here. Thanks to you my levels have finally risen to acceptable levels and I’m keeping up with my vitamins daily. Your channel has educated me and inspired me all through the Covid crises, and continues to do so. Thanks, Dr John, simply for being who you are!
I had to ask to get it done. And I've asked other times and they do not include it. Not sure if it's routine. I don't believe it is.
The question, is do you pay for the test or your insurance.... Remember it is free in the UK
My GP said I would have to pay for it out of pocket. I got a different doctor to code it so it was covered. I am looking for a new GP
My gp checked my vit D with out asking him in UK👍
My doctor refused me. No explanation
I've been absorbed by your honest and scientific commentary on issues since 2919. The journey from covid vaccination support to now the questioning of the entire political/medical system.
I admire and thank you for giving us the information and insights we need to make individual decisions.
The fact you give all of this for free is worthy of a Knighthood...
That's if you would accept it.
Thanks again from an Australian who appreciates transparentcy and true science.
Thank you Dr John Campbell, we so appreciate your voice of sanity and wisdom
I used to drive past Japanese owned companies in the Philippines early morning where all staff (largely Filipino), including management, had to spend half an hour on arrival in the early morning sunshine doing coordinated gentle exercise. Health and well-being being paramount encouragement.
I am one of the lucky ones to be taking d3 all along.
When I suggested it in 2020 on fake book I got a warning that I was passing misinformation. I promptly deleted my fake book account and never looked back.
Thank you for this; another awesome tutorial on vitamin D.
At 69, I have been taking 10,000iu Vit D3 since the COVID 19 started - no issues. I am fit and exercises with MEDIUM INTENSITY Interval TRAINING at about 25 minutes (5 minutes of exercise with 20 minutes interval rest of 2 minutes per interval) every day.
About 25 years ago, In Readers' Digest ( the issue with a monochrome portrait of Princess Diana on the cover), there was a superb article entitled, 'Vitamin D- the one vitamin you really need'. It was a real eye-opener to the magic of this inexpensive wonder-drug.
Thanks doc, just took my D+k2 with my morning oats. I realised a long time ago your health is something you have to 100% take into your own hands. Never been healthier, or had more cardio endurance and lean muscle...36 years old. 👍
My neurologist has me taking 20,000 units a day. Dr. Checked my husband vit D level. He had to go to. 20,000 units a day to get to 50. Now we both take 20,000 units a day.
When you do this..do you take it with k2? I'm afraid to take more than one or two vitamin d with k2 pills by Jamieson from Costco cause I don't know what can happen with way too much k2 and I know that too much vitamin d not properly absorbed leads to calcification
For every 10k of vitd3 it's rec to take at least 100 vitk2 M7 not the M4. 👍🙋♀️🫂
Like Dr John Campbell says at end of this video. Calcium supplements are not rec while taking these vitd3 and vitk2. The higher doses of D pulls some Calcium out of tissues and into vessels. The k2 moves ( mobilizes) the Calcium to our bone where it's supposed to go naturally. We get Calcium from eating meats, raw milk not processed milk, learn about kefir and how to make it.

@@user-dv8bs7tb5cwhen you get to 10k IU of D you need at least 200mcg K2, there's lots of great videos out there, if you take the correct amount of K2, you would need a lorry to deliver and a few hours a day to take enough vitamin D to cause problems.
I can't remember which doctors have done videos on that, it's been a while.
Search for "vitamin D overdose" etc, along those lines "maximum safe dose" etc, iirc there's 4/5 videos on UA-cam at least with that information.
I think John Campbell did one with with an Israeli doctor too, a while ago, good video.
@@user-dv8bs7tb5c yes k2 every day
I am so glad to see this video. I took part in the d`action trial around 2005, sent blood samples monthly for a couple of years and was gratified to see increased readings month on month as I slowly increased dosage. Optimum for me to get to 40+ ng/ml was 5000 iu cholicalciferol daily. My starting level was < 20ng/ml.
I recently tried to access d`action and the research group has vanished, completely vanished from the internet. Your valuable esearch is very much appreciated
instead of sending people out into the sunshine they locked them up.. the acts of these last few years shall not be forgotten
Thank you, Dr. Campbell. You have kept me sane since covid started and also thankfully from taking the vac. You are a wealth of clear and concise information. I truly appreciate it.
He was pro Vax to begin with, then saw the light.
The vit D research was very valuable. I'm sure it helped as I only had a mild form of CV.
I strongly relate to this topic, after being quite deficient, 40 IU or less for over a year, several years ago. This deficiency caused extreme fatigue, weakness, unexpected agression, and even impaired my rationality at times.
I've maintained supplement since, and it was shocking to see how mild my symptoms were for c19, compared to my husband, who didn't take any supplement. In the U.S., the suspected average for deficiency is 1/3 of the population. I can imagine UK is far more. Many thanks doctor John.
Dr. Campbell thank you for sharing and explaining this to us. I have upped my mothers vitamin d3 significamtly from the 2000 units her doctor subscribed. She had been going i to the hospital every 6 to 8 months with what we thought was seizures. I just recently found out it was not seizures. Why, saw it in her normal.doctors report and asked her neurologist. He said it was dehydration and lack of electorlytes and nutrients. So we changed her diet to more milk and dairy as well and so far so good. Her cognitive level is up as well as her strength. We also by farm eggs and local vegiies etc. Her heart doctor isnt happy shes no longer on lipitor but he said her arteries sound good and her bp is great. And she isnt in the hospital in almost 10 months. Plus she really is feeling better overall. She is 80, with a birthday in december coming up.
David Davis MP was the only MP to suggest Vit D at the onset of covid from my recollection
Personally I starting taking VD3 12 years ago when I was struggling with arthritis in my knees. A doctor ran a test on my vitamin d levels. Mine were 0. I was prescribed a low limit and luckily it had some effects. He kept raising my levels until my levels got to a normal range. Strange thing happened. My knees started feeling better. Now I’m on 40,000 a day and my knees feel okay. I’m getting them replaced this winter. I work outside and on roofs most days. Crave sunlight. I’m in my 50s. I haven’t been sick for years. Never had symptoms of anything. It’s just me but I’m sticking to what works and I do also take a bit of Vit K. I also have had everything pre diabetes, I was on O2 at night. Now I’ve gone from 363# to 230#. It helps to be free of pain.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing that with us.
why do you replace your knees when they feel ok now?
I was always tired, in pain and had nothing but stomach problems. Went to the doctor's and hospital for umpteen blood tests, scans and sent off fecal and urine samples all to no avail. Then I specifically asked for results and I was vitamin D deficient. Not deficient enough to be prescribed high strength vitD apparently and the doctor didn't believe that this was the cause (he said fibromyalgia and gave me duloxetine). IT WAS. Feel much better now after ordering 10'000iu capsules online and of course I stopped taking the crap I was given for something that didn't exist
Add K2 to help D3 in the bones
It's THE CAUSE of Many many health issues!!! Doctors aren't taught health just big $ prescriptions
Good on you for taking this into your own hands!!❤

You are a delightful Legend brother John. Live long and happy as so many have as a result of your caring and compassion.
thank you so much doctor for having the courage to speak the truth, speak on facts and posting these videos. I wish there were more people like you out there
imagine it takes us to current year to have a bloody study on Vit D
A study isn't necessary, really. Vitamin D supports immune health, beyond any doubt. The data showing that people with high vitamin D levels rarely died from Covid is there, and irrefutable. That's the study, nothing more needed. Not complicated. That surely translates to other diseases without needing formalized trials. Just get people to start taking it, it will surely improve the overall health of a population.
There have been others. I've been aware of D/immune and cancer connection for years and I bought a book on D by a Toronto doctor after his lecture, which I attended. I've been testing my blood levels for 17 years. We cannot trust government or health officials with our health. Prevention and natural health modalities are vital. For example 60-70% of cancer is preventable. It's higher for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Even dementia is linked to metabolic syndrome (too high carb intake/insulin resistance).
@@snowbird6855 Dr. Fung? He's amazing. Oh, I see your comments everywhere on the same channels, it seems we are 2 Canucks that think alike. Take care! from Down East
Because of you doc I feel cared for 🧡
Thank you, Dr John Campbell. You have been extremely truthful and helpful to us. Many thanks.
Doctor Campbell: you may be interested that during the critical period of Covid I was taking 40,000 IU of D3 if I had any symptomatic inkling or threat of exposure. After 3 days I would drop back to 20,000. I would also take Zinc and N-ac, I never had a sniffle. When the threat was over blood-work panel was done and my D3 count was 147. Doc had a fit but there were -0- side effects. ~~ Incidentally, I'm 83.
I'm a kidney transplant patient, I ended up in kidney failure do to iga nephropathy which I had no idea i had, I got my kidney transplant done in August 3 of 2022 , and they recently put me on vitamin D about 2 weeks ago. It's the first time since they've been doing my regular blood work that they actually ask for that specific blood test . So it's interesting seeing youve been talking about it and recently my doctor's have been checking my levels. Keep up the good work Doc.
Thank you so much, Dr C! I incurred a Jones fracture and an ankle break in my right foot in 2019; perhaps that was a blessing in disguise, because my D3 levels were measured. Although they were found to be in "normal" range, I was advised to take 10,000 IU daily for bone healing. After copious reading in reliable med sources, once my bones healed, I dropped this to 5,000 IU daily, and then added K2 (per your advice, thank you very much!) Where I live, there's a lot of sunshine, but I like most folks, don't go out for long periods in the intense heat and humidity of summer days. Even 15 minutes is an ordeal. From further reading, I learned that the sun has to be above a certain angle for UV-A to cause the human body to produce D (see National Library of Medicine article entitled "Sunlight and Vitamin D" by Messrs Wacker and Holick, published in 2013). So supplementation seems to be a good idea for most of us!
Your channel is Exceptional in giving out honest and very specific, as well as defined information. Thank You! Your truthful and caring demeanor is most appreciated! Please KEEP GOING!
Thanks Dr John. I am always very impressed with your commitment, knowledge and generosity when you share this very important information. Thank you once again.
Not pharmaceutical corporations, rather legalized drug cartels.
It's become the medical mafia, basically. I hope it will all backfire, what all the Covid nonsense has done is awaken tremendous mistrust in many people toward doctors and big pharma. I have always shied away from doctors, but never to the extent that I have to warn my dad before he goes for his annual checkups. Even doctors with real integrity have been trained and brainwashed by a for-profit system that is corrupt.
Like that
As long as politicians get their cut, then it's fine...
Sun is cheap
Bang on the money
In Canada doctors either aren't allowed or highly discouraged to order testing of vitamin D. Also, my dietician was losing her mind when I told her I was taking 5,000 IU of D3 per day. She cited some ridiculous source about vitamin D toxicity but I'd have to eat more than a bottle of vitamin D per week to get to the levels her source said were toxic.
My doctor had me on D3 in 2019, and always tests for D. I hear that in Ontario, you have to pay for a Vitamin D test? I guess it depends on the province. Our health care in NS is awful, but at least I can still get those tests.
In Nz we have to pay to get vitamin D testing added to our blood work same with folic acid I believe, but basically ever other standard thing we can get free blood work on
i did a research with AI , there are 0 documented deaths and 2 dubious cases of heavy side effects. after vitamin D supplementation and supposed intoxication.
there are also a thousands of deaths according to the c. vax.
thats ridicolous.
I'm on 20,000 a day 😂 she would have kittens
take with magnesium also. It will activate the d vitamin and control the levels.
Thank you Dr. Campbell. I loved your lecture. I have kidney insufficiency and am obese, so I've got a couple for risk factors against proper vit. d levels. I will ask my doctor for calcitriole. I have drastically improved my diet during the past several years and that has resulted in a 40 lb. weight loss and much healthier blood test results. I think for 90% the best medicine is diet and exercise, but also finding a way to calm your mind amidst the storms of life. I'm glad I found your channel.
My healthcare in US is Medicare and VA healthcare system. Get blood work regularly from both. Neither will test D levels. I recently paid for test at independent lab with vit D results 21ng/ml. This is after taking magnesium glycinate for a month. Taking D3 now and will test again in 3 months. I live in Florida, do not use sunblock. I feel Magnesium def. may be the key. Very disappointed in our healthcare system.
Thank you for keeping us informed.
I confess, I fell for it. I thought with my autoimmune illness it would be a good safeguard. I've never had an issue with flu or shingles shots, pneumonia whatever. The second Molderna poke set me on a huge flare up though that I haven't recovered from. I watched the vaxed all around me get sick while I while it didn't get me. I stayed with my wife isolated in a small travel trailer while she battled the bug. Cuddled up at night, no masks on either of us. I am convinced that my high vitamin D level which is monitored by my rheumatologist was a huge part of me staying well. Recovering my metabolic health through a Ketovore lifestyle has been protective throughout.
Go carnivore.
@@rmsoftThats what Keto is basically...😊
It's a good thing some people still actually practice medicine, instead of ineffective and unaffordable interventions.
Thank you Dr. Campbell, I've never had a flu.. ever! But was required to take a flu shot in order to be employed as an administrator at a local hospital. I did finally take the Covid jab and truly regret falling for it. I had to have a major spinal surgery.. 18 levels, plus 2 osteotomies.. I was told my vitamin D levels were too high.. I've forgotten the actual numbers.. seems like I was poorly advised.. perhaps my high levels were always protecting me. Love your work .

There is no reason to think that extra high levels offer extra protection. Some is good does not mean that more is better.

Can you tell me what name of vitamin D u take ??
Thank you John absolute brilliant presentation as usual, great service to the community!!
Several years ago I heard a Dr who lived in Florida say how surprised he was when his Vit d level came in low. He started taking Vit D3. He was athletic and tanned, so he obviously spent active time in the sun. Since hearing that, I take D3 supplements regardless of my time in the sun.
We also need adequate magnesium through diet or supps to be able to absorb the D properly, according to Dr Berg. Could be the tanned outdoors guy hadn't enough magnesium in his diet. Raw sunflower seeds are a great source of this.
K2 is needed to transport Vit D into the bones.@@pipfox7834
Thank you for doing this research. I am 70 and am probably low in Vitamin D because whenever I get a cold it always seems to go to my lungs. I'll be upping my dosage of this vitamin.
I found out years ago from a Greek tramdriver: whenever you first feel that slight tickle in the throat, immediately gargle with strong salty water fir a few minutes - 3-5 mins, say.That usually knocks out any infection pronto before it gets a foothold. If you don't like a heaped teaspoon of salt, try dilute tea tree oil. Works even better.
Thank you Dr. Campell..So happy to see the word getting out about the importance of Vit D.
I got mine chkd in February, it was at 30😳. Took 1 dropper 50,000IU a day for 2 months and was able to raise it to 101🥳.
You saved our lives Doctor and we thank you!
Every word of this video is pure gold, thank you Dr. Campbell.
I started taking vitamin D with K2 and zinc three years ago and have not had so much as a sniffle since. Also I don’t get depressed in winter and I am 68 and unvaccinated
How much Zinc do you take? And do you take any copper?
@@puppetken I do take copper but not every day, maybe twice a week and I also take magnesium. I take 25mg of zinc a day. I feel healthier than I have done in years. I used to dread winter because I used to feel so lethargic but I am fine now. I also reduced carbs in my diet
John feels like one of the family, true hero
I'm currently taking 12,000 i.u. of Vitamin D and 600 i.u. of Vitamin K2. That's all thanks to you John for your informative videos on the subject 👍
A day?
@@annebeverley Correct. According to Dr John he mentioned your body can make up to 50.000iu per day if you're out in sunlight all day. I'm not so I opted for this dose.
@@mick998r I think you’re right I’m going to raise my dose because I’m stuck inside all day. Thank you
I think too much. I think you should take magnesium instead of K2. Magnesium activate D and control the levels.
@@mick998r it´s different . Synth D is poison if you go too high.
I started using Vitamin D+K2 in February 2016 and started off with 10.000 i.U. and later on switched to 20.000 i. U. Since that time I never had again a respiratory infection of any kind.
The price for it via internet was 20€ for 180 tablets. Investing 40€ a year for my health is worth doing. Before I did that I had at least twice a year a cold leading to slime in my bronchial system as well.
