Wow! Here it is, 2021, with a year long covid 19 pandemic, and the importance of this talk becomes elevated more than ever .... So confirming of what I have been hearing about the need for our western societies, indeed world wide societies, to be examining our deficiencies in this vital vitamin/hormone's role in helping us achieve optimal health outcomes. I found myself constantly saying, "Amen, amen, amen" throughout this great talk! Thank you, youtube, for publishing this ... and thank you, Dr. Heaney, for sharing this information.
Amen indeed !!
He is so knowledgeable
Light therapy via red and near infrared lights or sun exposure is as important as nutrition and is rarely talked about. It heals cells and stimulates mitochondria to produce more ATP.
Your point is appreciated!
Curious if you think the big picture is stated here?:
WH, Congress, CDC, ETC Missing the Immune-System Rescue Boat:
Here is a 9-minute proposal with criticality you will understand in 9 seconds.
PROBLEM:
COVID-19 war is being waged on many external fronts,
...while the internal immunity-support battle is unarmed.
HHS/NIH/CDC has not proactively alerted the public, or healthcare workers and institutions sufficiently, of widespread micronutrient deficiencies, critical to immuno-competency,
such as D, in over 69% Elderly, and People of Color.
Examination of blood levels are now proving significant correlation with severity of Covid outcomes.
Government, and even Pharma-related health agencies, do NOT deny criticality of deficiencies, nor benefits of supplementation, as proven by statements from their publications summarized/quoted below.
Rather, CDC simply has not synthesized findings and proactively advised the public and healthcare professionals, of critical ways to ensure strong immune systems, as they have with spread-reduction techniques.
Unfortunately, there IS great google-garble confusion, in disjointed, difficult to decipher, government health publications.
Example:
ODPHP (Congress-created to “lead disease prevention and health promotion efforts”...ever heard of ‘em?), lists RDA of D 600 iu, adults under 71, (50% more than previous; still often sold/mistaken as 400 iu)...
More problematic, is burying safe “max” doses: (ex. 4000 iu. of D...much more effective in reaching optimal levels), in separate lists which are often overlooked.
Furthermore, they publish that 10,000 to 20,000 ui can be produced in sun...with our bodies preventing excessive levels.
Preventing disease is a CDC directive...
However, guidance on optimal supplementation, by age, gender, race, lifestyle, and condition, is not proactively communicated, even to healthcare professionals.
And, beyond failing to advise “stay-home“ compensation for little sun, not washing-off D, and low/no
winter production, D is just one example of allowing immune systems to become compromised.
Millions of residents and healthcare professionals are unaware of many proven ways to fight COVID-19, (&20!?).
PROPOSAL:
-CDC should be instructed through Congressional oversight committees, to promote immune-system optimization for the public and healthcare professionals and institutions.
It will not be necessary to convince HHS agencies of their own findings, or that best-practices guidelines can be synthesized and advertised very quickly...
We need action,
not further delays or studies.
What follows is a description of purpose and summarized HHS-publication support.
CDC needs a battle plan that powerfully promotes:
1. Optimal Immunity-Critical Micronutrients,
2. Multiple Immune-System-Building methods,
3. Internal Viral-Load-Reduction Techniques.
PRACTICAL PROOF:
Immunity support may not be a cure, but it is a best weapon on the internal battlefield, currently left unarmed.
FACTS-1:
Most COVID infections present no, few, or manageable symptoms, while others suffer or die, ultimately due to immuno-competency differences.
FACTS-2:
Eleven micronutrients, especially A, C, D, and Zinc are critical to immune response.
FACTS-3:
Widespread, hidden deficiencies of D:
69% Hispanics,
82% Blacks, and similar for Elderly, are found in these disproportionately impacted groups.
Overcoming D- deficiency is double-blind proven to improve a range of health outcomes:
from osteoporosis fractures, to depression, dementia, and top fatal illnesses, including
cancer (also immune-system responsive), cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
FACTS-4:
Some micronutrients are useful at much higher levels than RDA.
Doses 7X RDA are safe and beneficial for most.
77% of Americans claim to take supplements, yet 42% are D-deficient, rarely tested, and unlikely to know if we are!
FACTS-5:
“Micronutrients are exceptionally deficient in patients suffering from mental disorders.”
(As my psychiatrist would say, “Does that tell you anything?”)
FACTS-6:
“Zinc promotes immune functions and helps resist infectious diseases.”
“...supplements reduce...respiratory infections, lowers...deaths from all causes.“
FACTS-7:
Not everyone is aware of methods to remove viral load from mouth, nose, and throat, or of
other physical immunity-building techniques.
PREDICAMENT:
We have invested in health information tools that have not been effectively delivered.
Dependency on the Google Jungle”, (which can “confuse the health out of us”!) is costing us dearly... before, during, and after(?) the pandemic.
Which politicians will win hearts, minds, and votes in this call-to-action?
POLITICAL SOLUTION:
A former presidential contender is saying, “We need a national policy to show us how to return safely”...
The current contender’s 4-Step Return Plan, is missing the 1st step...optimizing immune systems!
Presumptions that politicians can do nothing, due to Pharma influence, are overcome in an optional “Additional Proposal Support” topic below.
The pandemic presents an unprecedented opportunity to raise and maintain personal health permanently, and address our 75% preventable disease load…and its impending bankruptcy of governmental medical insurance.
Regardless of the structure of our costly insurance programs, salvation/solvency depends on preventing illness...
not just figuring out who gives, gets, and pays...
A Penny of Educational Prevention IS worth a Dollar of Cure.
Politicians who promote this type of permanent-benefit proposal will win.
If not; we all lose.
Winning on the battlefield within, is a best way to mitigate severity AND protect the future of our health, insurance systems, treasury, and sanity.
Embarrassingly delayed?
“Better late than never” was never more urgent.
Filling the immune-system communication gap is a best tactic for our government representatives and hopefuls.
Further NIH-published support and details below, are not needed to take action.

PROPOSAL SUPPORT:
Even with vaccines, there is ultimately one cure...
a successful immune response.
Governments haven’t been proactively providing immune-system protection info.
However, the Google Jungle contains the following NIH-published summary of a multi-study review;
happily noted, by scientists from BAYER!
Their conclusions:
“...the immune system needs specific micronutrients, including A, D, C, E, B6, and B12, folate, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium, which play vital, often synergistic roles at every stage of the immune response.” ...
“Adequate amounts are essential to ensure proper function of physical barriers and immune cells;
however, intakes necessary to support immune function may be higher than current recommended dietary allowances.
...even marginal deficiency may impair immunity.
...supplementation may modulate immune function and reduce the risk of infection.”
PASSÉ PHARMA PRESUMPTIONS:
Explanations of why CDC and other official health organizations are mum on immunity-building, based on Pharma influence,
(as the Supreme Court allows!),
don’t fly when shot down:
Pharma may influence, but has not have enough funds or network of secrecy, to control HHS/NIH/CDC and Congress...
1. Specialized drug profits are not significantly jeopardized by supplements.
2. Pharma is best-positioned for opportunities in patient-customized micronutrients, tuned for age, race, conditions, medications, vitals, genetics, etc.
3. Vaccine profits, can be marginal, sporadic, exaggerated, and are irrelevant at the moment; nor likely to work in micronutrient-deficient immunesystems.
Vitamin therapy isn’t going to kill Pharma....
But it’s killing us to underrate and under-educate.
Still not convinced immune-system support is a best weapon…or that people will respond?...
Take a look at the now more rapidly growing, mental-illness “side of the coin” in an NIH publication:
”4 out of 10 leading causes of disability are mental disorders...
studies show that a lack of certain dietary nutrients contribute to the development of mental disorders.”
“Notably, essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids are often deficient in the general population…
and are exceptionally deficient in patients suffering from mental disorders.”
“Studies have shown daily supplements of vital nutrients often effectively reduce symptoms.”
“...nutritional supplement treatment may be appropriate for controlling major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety, eating, and attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), addiction, and autism.“
Let’s not be sick for no good reason… Please take action!
I do use Spectrochrome with great success
@@ginajk8857 what is that??
Can’t produce ATP if the amount of vitamin D you take is so high that it depletes your magnesium like crazy. Vitamin D needs and uses magnesium as a cofactor and if it uses all the magnesium you have then whatever extra vitamin D you have ingested can’t do anything and it’s actually wise to get enough vitamin D and not too much. Yes you can take too much and defeat the very purpose you’re taking it.
@@valeriereneeharper
What you should have said is that we need magnesium to process vitamin D, and for a lot of other things, so make sure you get enough of it.
You formulated it as if vitamin D were the problem, while it's the magnesium deficency.
We need it both of them, and also vitamin A, K2, and boron, to get the full effect of vitamin D.
Take as much d3 as it takes to get your blood levels to where you want them to be. That involves testing. The dose will be different for many people. I was taking 10000iu daily and my levels didn't change. They are 150nmol. I'm taking more to get my levels up. I take magnesium and k2 as well as co.factors
This is so interesting! I knew a lil about it already and taking Vit D3 supplements since a few months, but wasn’t aware how important it is for our system!
God Bless Everybody!Amen!
This is a lecture we all needed from a real expert on vitamin D.
Those are a dying breed, so enjoy!
I've been following this subject for at least 15 years, and this is the best presentation I've seen.
Of course I supplement. I live in Stockholm, Sweden where we get enough sun only about 3 months of the year. And nowadays we can't eat salmon anymore, because it's all farmed swing vegetables.
Basically:
Magnesium up to 400 mg.
Vitamin D3 5000 IU, but that wasn't enough for me. I was only at 45 ng/ml this spring, that's adequate, but not optimal.
Vitamin K2, at least 300 ug of MK7. But actually I get about 2 mg of K1, K2/MK4 and K2/MK7 together, which might, or might not, be optimal.
Boron, I used to take at least 3 mg, but now 9 mg, because it has an effect on hormones, such as testesterone, estrogen, and even vitamin D!
Not to talk about bones!
And no, I don't get those pesky colds, or flues, anymore.
Excellent! Vitamin D is far more important than just for bones!
Thank you
A truly brilliant, informative session regarding Vitamin D. A masterclass from the lecturer ... learnt so much ... thanks to all concerned.
Only 4 hours of nutrition taught to medical students. WOW! I knew it was low but that figure is rediculous. By comparison, how many hours of pharmaceuticals are taught? Something, and we all know what that is, is terribly wrong with our medical system. We need to break the strangle hold that big pharma has on our physicians.
Roux Chat: you are soooo right!
Yes indeed . Explains a lot , as to why there are so many unhealthy Americans
because doctors are not actually general health experts. They are medication prescribers
In Scotland we all need to be taking a supplement. Excellent talk.
Same here In Ireland no sunshine for 8 months 🏴🇮🇪👍
You’d be surprised but I have seen research that a large percent of the population in Australia (!) is vitamin D deficient. It probably has to do with how we stay indoors and avoid sun.
Dr. Heaney had amazing ability to summarize the results from a whole conference plus adding to it the question of dysfunction and then optimal physiological health. His numbers are clear: Get above 50 ng/mL by at least 6.000 IUs a day.
He actually said 4 - 6000 IU. There's a lot of 8ndividual variation, though.
That's a good dose to start with, until you meassure the blod level after 3 months or so.
I didn't neassure at all for a very long time, and is at only 45 ng/ml after supplementing with 5400 IU. When I meassure it next spring, I aim for 70 ng/ml.
The recommended range is 40 - 60 ng/ml, and probably good to not go over 100 ng/ml.
Interestingly enough, Hanely showed that we get optimal control over calcium level at something like 80 ng/ml. That's higher than I expected it to be for that purpose. But maybe optimal against cancer, which is why I want those levels.
I'm beginning to belive the real optimal range is more like 60 - 100 ng/ml, which means we all are too low.

thanks dr heaney for helping me write my now not-so-garbage grade 8 essay
Rest in peace
Wonderful summary and appreciate how the speaker pulled it together. The question and comment at the very end was quite telling.
The presentation is perfect and very much important. Thank for information.
very interesting and clear.....the paramount point at 40:00 :
NO TOXICITY BELOW 30,000 IU/d INTAKE and NO TOXICITY BELOW 200 ng/mL of serum level
AND NO HYPERCALCEMIA BELOW 120 ng/mL of serum level.
No vitamin d toxicity ever from sun exposure
Holistic Health With Harry but takes years to raise
This is just a story, but my elderly mother had hypercalcemia with levels less than 40 ng/mL. We also need to look at what the body does with excess Vitamin D with tissue samples.
whatabouttrish i wonder if she had adequate k2 levels, what her PTH hormone levels were, thyroid metabolism in general as well as estrogens and cholesterol levels.
Love this guy , very very clever ..

What was the JACN paper for which Robert P. Heaney, MD, won the Charles E. Ragus Award for best, most innovative research article published in JACN?
I learned all this from a Homeopathic doctor 17 yrs ago I have been taking a multi vitamin and a 2000mg vitamin C & 1000mg vitamin D everyday.
I don't think 1000 is enough per day
I'm afraid you're just wasting your money
@@zaid6164 Just another dumb statement - typical of a 'doctor'. You probably believe Vitamin D is only relevant for the prevention of rickets.

Amazing...thanks Dr Heaney!!!
Thank you - such a great "talk" and "Things go better with Vitamin D!" will help me remember its importance.
Great info. However some seemed to want more dosage recommendation, however if you're outside shorts and shirt most people should be about 4-5K IU. Supplementation is just that.
Great talk, thank you for this presentation. The only point I wish to mention in the negative is the often switching between nmol and ng units. I am a chemist, so I know these terms, but I think there needs to be a consistent unit for good understanding of the points made.
hi Steve would you elaborate please?
Thanks so much, Excellent talk!
Great lecture :) We should also add that higher dose of Vitamin D affects some other vitamins absorbtion rate. Some vitamins and microelements likes each other but other don't.
wonderful analysis !
Very important, thanks for the info.
RIP: Dr. Heaney. :^(

Sorry to hear he died :(
I was thinking he must be very old... Good that he was here and told us what he knew. May he be with the ☀
Thank You for the infomation
Who’s watching bc of the COVID-19 ?
Petra Bazán MEEE
Nope!
I were already supplementing with 5400 IU for vitamin D at that time.
Didn't got it, wasn't worried about it!
If everyone had been doing that, we wouldn't have had a pandemic at all, I think!
Think about that the next time WHO!
Excellent!
Thankyou
You'll learn about how much vitamin D we need, and he will prove it to you. Along the way, he is very clear about the whole subject of supplements and food and health and disease.

Excellent . Wonder if there is a contradiction with the evolutionary conjecture - on one hand we are told about the cell responce - receptor, transcription factor, DNA /library selection, transcription, translation, effector proteins, and on the other hand evolution teaches mutations cause speciation , whereas mutations cause inappropriate cell response .

Is K2 recommended as well with D3 / Ca?
They didn't study that back then. I do and with magnesium
Started red light therapy a little over a month ago 👍
If you live above Atlanta Georgia from April till October from 10am till 4pm is your best time to make vitamin D from the sun,because from November till end of March you will not be able to make any vitamin d from the sun if you live above Atlanta Georgia this is according to Dr.Michael Holick
You're listening to people instead of thinking. When the direct sun's rays are falling on your skin, the skin is making vitamin D. Our bodies and the sun are not equipped with switches to turn on and off based on some calendar.
Sure, when the sun is more vertically overhead, the rays are stronger at the surface due to less atmospheric absorption. That's not the same as going from existent to nonexistent. What it means is it takes half as much time to get the same exposure when the energy is twice as strong. Make sense? Exposure = radiation strength * time
It's possible to get good exposure throughout the year in the northern US, when the weather's not blocking the sun's rays or your ability to expose yourself to them. It just takes longer to get the same exposure when the rays are oblique. I just got an excellent day of sunning in late February. Watch for opportunities. And be careful what you believe; conclusions like that are always based on various assumptions.
@@elgringoec the uv rays are filtered out by the atmosphere during the winter due to the angle of the sun. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to understand that lol
@@thayne559
Yes they always are and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand it's not a binary situation. 👍

Wao grea
i wanted to better understand D,25Hydroxy conversion -> D,1,25 DiHyDroxy Conversion and or testing algorithms' my D,25 seems stuck at 36 no matter what i do for inputs.
slide at 30:42 starts to address this,, but once Ca based arteriol degeneration is (has) occurred then what ?
I live in Alaska, you never commented on the effect of latitude. Also I was wondering about the relationship between D levels and flue.
so how much time i should spend in the sun in summer time a week is up to 1 hour 2 to 5 times a week ok im caucasian white skinned person
The presentation is extremely important and would be more effective if the presenter would stay with one form or the other of measurement. It is more difficult to follow while absorbing the information when trying to do conversions in your head. Especially for the layman where the most value in this presentation lies. Apples to apples. Since ng/ml is the measurement he started out with and what most workups show it would improve the impact of the presentation to stay with it and IU's as the standard of measurement. Very very informative. I really liked the big picture synopsis.

would vitamin D3 in the appropriate dosage help to break down my three, very large DVT clots, as I have had them for several years, as one is 12" long, from my pelvic area to my thigh, and the other two are in my lower leg, one 3", and one 4". They are not budging. I am getting nowhere with the GP or the vascular surgeon here in the UK. I take 5mg Apixaban twice daily.
Also look into using Vit C? Lectures of MD's Suzanne Humphries and Russel Jaffe explain how to use high dose C - in combination with Sulpur-rich foods for example. Also look into MSM and DMSO (Yummy Mummy)... And incorporate IBT (Inclined Bed Therapy) - as advanced by Engineer Andrew Fletcher.
@Spike Elwood thank you for responding to my question. With regards to what, vit D3 helping ,& or vit C, or vitamins all together? So what track should I be looking at?
Systemic enzymes is what my doctor gave me when getting 10 pass ozone, he said he’d never seen so many clots. That and heprin during treatment. Check your fibrinogen levels. I had lyme so that was my reason for it. Look at your levels of many things including vitamin D. Getting a $90 live blood cell analysis might show much for you. Mold, fungal overgrowth, etc. look at cholesterol levels, liver enzymes, thyroid, immune markers etc. The body is intelligent it’s making clots for a reason. If you have low adrenal steroid hormones vitamin D can help but sulphated from sun especially when cholesterol is converted in the tissues directly it may help. Most likely though your gut, liver or immunity is messed up. Maybe even try colon hydrotherapy since our lymphatic system carries so much waste the intestines can help dump it. Hydration with electrolytes is key if you want cellular energy and enzyme activity.
@@katiie7 It is very kind of you to respond to my post. I will look into all you suggest and report back to my near useless GP. I am in the UK so I may not have the access to everything you mention. Thank you.
Ian if you’ve had three episodes of blood clots, you may have a hyper-coagulable syndrome (susceptible to clots), which can be dangerous. So, best to follow your Dr. and Vascular surgeon, and stay on a blood thinner. You could opt for a once a day blood thinner. But, in my opinion, vitamins and homeopathic measures won’t help you. So, be safe and stay with standard medical advice. Take care!
free sun shine....
unless youre in northern latitudes 6 months out of the year...
... Difficult to get enough sunshine in the northern hemisphere, especially taking enough clothes off to expose enough skin, and keeping warm! Try to sit out in sun for 15 min, use coconut oil, never toxic suntan lotions
What source. Natural
My wife's family is from the Dominican Republic. People there have all kinds of health problems. Why is this? Partly diet because they eat more and more processed food as time passes. You would think they get plenty of sunlight, but this is also less true every year. Most people there are living the same modern lifestyle as Americans and Europeans, being indoors and staring at their cell phones and computers all the time. And they wear sunscreen even though most of them have plenty of melanin and don't need it.
any link to covid19 resistance?
Andy f If you Google for it you will find it. Yes there is for what I’ve read. I read several articles about severity and death rate in relation to D serum levels.
Any connection with vitamin d deficiency and developing blood clots?
Om Om K2 regulates blood clotting
YES
could hydroponically grown food be reduced in D3?
Plants do not make d3 except mushrooms which makes d2 not d3. Best way to get d3 is go into sun at noon .. mostly naked and in spring and summer.
how many vitamin D days do we have in Los Angeles? The sky is often grey and often whiter from the chemtrails....does the bluer bright blue sky help more for vitamin D?
Same chemtrailed sky here in Kelowna BC. So depressing. I take 25,000 d3 liquid till the bottle is gone and then I'll go down to 10,000, Take with dinner along with my vitamins and digestive enzymes and probiotic. I'll pay the $60 to check my d levels next year to see if I'm wasting my time and money. I don't take any vaccinations or meds except inhalers which I need to breath and a thyroid med that is natural so it costs more and isn't covered by the powers that be...lol. I'm researching on how to repair my lungs. I was a long time smoker. Also gluten can be a problem for me and most of us. I'm 70. As an added thought, I also buy the big tubs of refrigerated sauerkraut and kimchee for the k2. All these vitamins get expensive.
@@sandycoueffin401 If you take care for your digestive system you should be fain. Yogurt, home-made from Raw full fat milk is the best of the best to keep your digestive system in good shape and working properly. It's no wonder that in America they banned the sales of raw milk!!!
Unfortunately, the Beta rays are much easier to block than the other rays. Now we know why our grandparents took a drive to the country every week! Ha Ha!
@@sandycoueffin401 kimchee and sauerkraut is so expensive people should be selling it or trading it with each other but probably you have to prove it has k3 so they don't get overcalcified if taking artificial vitamin D that's the risk for saying on high doses too long with D.....Need K3....
Im totally surprised vit D has a half life of just 24hours. It explains why my levels are so low despite supplementing this wintet
Boron and glutathione helps increase vitamin D
I take 5000 iu every day
My vit D test says 26.....and I've been taking Carlson's cod liver oil for one year. Shouldn't it be between 50-100 for optimal health?
Do I need a vit d shot?
mary bk I have been taking 50,000 IU, 3 times a week (every other day) for over 5 years, and my blood tests still showed I was low in D! It wasn’t until recently, that I have been able to change this. After research and realizing I wasn’t absorbing things correctly, and have since been focusing on fixing my gut, one way is by a non Rx probiotics and digestive enzymes product I’ve been taking the past 3 months, I finally have my iron, B and D blood test levels at a normal rate! I had been not absorbing things like D, for the past 5 years! Finally, as I said, through probiotics and digestive enzymes, I am! I am trying to lower carbs, sugar, and do intermittent fasting, and I started taking a Omega 3, and Collagen. Trying to add chia seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, and I know salmon and avocado are things I need to add, but really don’t like fish or avocados, which is why I am taking the omega 3 supplement. Hope this helped.
Vitamin D supplements cannot do everything that sunlight does.
@@poppylove3673 thanks...I am not absorbing then either.
I am trying the Nutritional healing center at Ann Arbor.
Lots of supplements.
Some improvement.
Your body should make enough of vitamin K2 and add leafy greens or fresh green juice and you should be good to go for small vitamin d supplement
Take 10,000 to 30,000 IU D3 in the winter.
Meaning: I’ll be working from now on more in Bikinis! 😉😀👙
😉😉
It's frustrating how this guy stumbles over his words and figures so much that he barely makes sense some of the time, but thankfully the charts clearly show that everyone should be taking Vitamin D supplements, and in higher than previously thought doses. I live in UK, so we barely get any vit d from the sun most of the year. I'd been taking 2500iu every day but I'm gonna boost that up to 4000iu every day now, perhaps taking a bit less in June/July/August.
MUST take Vitamin K2 if taking Vitamin D3. Otherwise you are likely to end up with hypercalcemia and have a heart attack due to calcium deposits in the blood instead of the bones!
....so if you work out in the sun all day you MUST take vitamin k2 to avoid calcium deposits....doesn't make sense and never heard of anyone working outside with this issue.
Everyone is a scientist in the comment section 😂
@@jmh4ggg Totally correct about that and our early ancestors during that time was not taking any supplements at all and just working outside whole day under the sun and lived about a hundred years because so much deception now in this evil world. GOD BLESS.
@@franciscoballesteros2059 My great great grandfather lived to be 104. My grandma (78) says the only reason he passed away was because my grandmother died. She was 102.
They lived off the land....as in got their own eggs from their own hens, grew their own crops....she said they ate meat every now and then, but they mainly ate vegetables and fruits. This was a walking 100+ year old mind you...they weren't in wheelchairs or whatever they had back then...they were functioning, walking, talking human beings.

Someone coughing in the audience did not take their Vitamin D 👎
You know what is cool about this nutrient? It’s free. There’s no greedy corporation charging you for it.
Get a glass bottle of water and place it in the sun for a few hours then drink it.
Please explain
That will do nothing at all.
STOP HITTING THE MIKE
but great talk though
Somebody mounted that mic (short for microphone) in a poor location, as so far every speaker I've seen present at that podium ends up hitting it repeatedly.
Now that you said it maybe he will stop lol
Cool presentation, but why the heck are they censoring comments on the video with the woman advocating female supremacy in Congress?
A really bad idea! When women elected congresswomen what did we get??? Omar Ilhan, Radhida Talib, AOC, Ayanne Presley and many more radical, socialists in Congress!
"Due to guns in the US" It does not raise the murder/suicide rate to allow individuals to own guns.
accidents
Over 80% of gun deaths are the results of inner city thugs/gang members ! The number is still minuscule when compared to car deaths, deaths from smoking, etc.
@@hectorjimenez750 Most gun deaths are suicides not homicides.
Bringing firearms into a discussion of Vitamin D posits you in a less favorable light.
@Rory Lion its off topic, assumes a false set of data, and politically charged. There would have been nothing objectively positive or informative lost if that was omitted.
Firearms do not kill, bullets do!
@@clarencemcgregor8568 bullets do not kill, people do.
The doctor just stated facts. In America we have an abnormally large number of young people (men) dying from firearms.
Please do not draw conclusions on 8 week studies!
Search for other Vit D studies here if you are confused. There is a mountain of evidence from large, long term studies that are all moving in the same direction.
Dr. Heaney had amazing ability to summarize the results from a whole conference plus adding to it the question of dysfunction and then optimal physiological health. His numbers are clear: Get above 50 ng/mL by at least 6.000 IUs a day.
ollllolllllllllllllllllolllllololloolooollooloooooooi

Yes, but we must get CDC to summarize it for the entire public. Hope you will take less time than the video to read and forward this:
WH, Congress, CDC, ETC Missing the Immune-System Rescue Boat:
Here is a 9-minute proposal with criticality you will understand in 9 seconds.
PROBLEM:
COVID-19 war is being waged on many external fronts,
...while the internal immunity-support battle is unarmed.
HHS/NIH/CDC has not proactively alerted the public, or healthcare workers and institutions sufficiently, of widespread micronutrient deficiencies, critical to immuno-competency,
such as D, in over 69% Elderly, and People of Color.
Examination of blood levels are now proving significant correlation with severity of Covid outcomes.
Government, and even Pharma-related health agencies, do NOT deny criticality of deficiencies, nor benefits of supplementation, as proven by statements from their publications summarized/quoted below.
Rather, CDC simply has not synthesized findings and proactively advised the public and healthcare professionals, of critical ways to ensure strong immune systems, as they have with spread-reduction techniques.
Unfortunately, there IS great google-garble confusion, in disjointed, difficult to decipher, government health publications.
Example:
ODPHP (Congress-created to “lead disease prevention and health promotion efforts”...ever heard of ‘em?), lists RDA of D 600 iu, adults under 71, (50% more than previous; still often sold/mistaken as 400 iu)...
More problematic, is burying safe “max” doses: (ex. 4000 iu. of D...much more effective in reaching optimal levels), in separate lists which are often overlooked.
Furthermore, they publish that 10,000 to 20,000 ui can be produced in sun...with our bodies preventing excessive levels.
Preventing disease is a CDC directive...
However, guidance on optimal supplementation, by age, gender, race, lifestyle, and condition, is not proactively communicated, even to healthcare professionals.
And, beyond failing to advise “stay-home“ compensation for little sun, not washing-off D, and low/no
winter production, D is just one example of allowing immune systems to become compromised.
Millions of residents and healthcare professionals are unaware of many proven ways to fight COVID-19, (&20!?).
PROPOSAL:
-CDC should be instructed through Congressional oversight committees, to promote immune-system optimization for the public and healthcare professionals and institutions.
It will not be necessary to convince HHS agencies of their own findings, or that best-practices guidelines can be synthesized and advertised very quickly...
We need action,
not further delays or studies.
What follows is a description of purpose and summarized HHS-publication support.
CDC needs a battle plan that powerfully promotes:
1. Optimal Immunity-Critical Micronutrients,
2. Multiple Immune-System-Building methods,
3. Internal Viral-Load-Reduction Techniques.
PRACTICAL PROOF:
Immunity support may not be a cure, but it is a best weapon on the internal battlefield, currently left unarmed.
FACTS-1:
Most COVID infections present no, few, or manageable symptoms, while others suffer or die, ultimately due to immuno-competency differences.
FACTS-2:
Eleven micronutrients, especially A, C, D, and Zinc are critical to immune response.
FACTS-3:
Widespread, hidden deficiencies of D:
69% Hispanics,
82% Blacks, and similar for Elderly, are found in these disproportionately impacted groups.
Overcoming D- deficiency is double-blind proven to improve a range of health outcomes:
from osteoporosis fractures, to depression, dementia, and top fatal illnesses, including
cancer (also immune-system responsive), cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
FACTS-4:
Some micronutrients are useful at much higher levels than RDA.
Doses 7X RDA are safe and beneficial for most.
77% of Americans claim to take supplements, yet 42% are D-deficient, rarely tested, and unlikely to know if we are!
FACTS-5:
“Micronutrients are exceptionally deficient in patients suffering from mental disorders.”
(As my psychiatrist would say, “Does that tell you anything?”)
FACTS-6:
“Zinc promotes immune functions and helps resist infectious diseases.”
“...supplements reduce...respiratory infections, lowers...deaths from all causes.“
FACTS-7:
Not everyone is aware of methods to remove viral load from mouth, nose, and throat, or of
other physical immunity-building techniques.
PREDICAMENT:
We have invested in health information tools that have not been effectively delivered.
Dependency on the Google Jungle”, (which can “confuse the health out of us”!) is costing us dearly... before, during, and after(?) the pandemic.
Which politicians will win hearts, minds, and votes in this call-to-action?
POLITICAL SOLUTION:
A former presidential contender is saying, “We need a national policy to show us how to return safely”...
The current contender’s 4-Step Return Plan, is missing the 1st step...optimizing immune systems!
Presumptions that politicians can do nothing, due to Pharma influence, are overcome in an optional “Additional Proposal Support” topic below.
The pandemic presents an unprecedented opportunity to raise and maintain personal health permanently, and address our 75% preventable disease load…and its impending bankruptcy of governmental medical insurance.
Regardless of the structure of our costly insurance programs, salvation/solvency depends on preventing illness...
not just figuring out who gives, gets, and pays...
A Penny of Educational Prevention IS worth a Dollar of Cure.
Politicians who promote this type of permanent-benefit proposal will win.
If not; we all lose.
Winning on the battlefield within, is a best way to mitigate severity AND protect the future of our health, insurance systems, treasury, and sanity.
Embarrassingly delayed?
“Better late than never” was never more urgent.
Filling the immune-system communication gap is a best tactic for our government representatives and hopefuls.
Further NIH-published support and details below, are not needed to take action.
----------
PROPOSAL SUPPORT:
Even with vaccines, there is ultimately one cure...
a successful immune response.
Governments haven’t been proactively providing immune-system protection info.
However, the Google Jungle contains the following NIH-published summary of a multi-study review;
happily noted, by scientists from BAYER!
Their conclusions:
“...the immune system needs specific micronutrients, including A, D, C, E, B6, and B12, folate, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium, which play vital, often synergistic roles at every stage of the immune response.” ...
“Adequate amounts are essential to ensure proper function of physical barriers and immune cells;
however, intakes necessary to support immune function may be higher than current recommended dietary allowances.
...even marginal deficiency may impair immunity.
...supplementation may modulate immune function and reduce the risk of infection.”
PASSÉ PHARMA PRESUMPTIONS:
Explanations of why CDC and other official health organizations are mum on immunity-building, based on Pharma influence,
(as the Supreme Court allows!),
don’t fly when shot down:
Pharma may influence, but has not have enough funds or network of secrecy, to control HHS/NIH/CDC and Congress...
1. Specialized drug profits are not significantly jeopardized by supplements.
2. Pharma is best-positioned for opportunities in patient-customized micronutrients, tuned for age, race, conditions, medications, vitals, genetics, etc.
3. Vaccine profits, can be marginal, sporadic, exaggerated, and are irrelevant at the moment; nor likely to work in micronutrient-deficient immunesystems.
Vitamin therapy isn’t going to kill Pharma....
But it’s killing us to underrate and under-educate.
Still not convinced immune-system support is a best weapon…or that people will respond?...
Take a look at the now more rapidly growing, mental-illness “side of the coin” in an NIH publication:
”4 out of 10 leading causes of disability are mental disorders...
studies show that a lack of certain dietary nutrients contribute to the development of mental disorders.”
“Notably, essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids are often deficient in the general population…
and are exceptionally deficient in patients suffering from mental disorders.”
“Studies have shown daily supplements of vital nutrients often effectively reduce symptoms.”
“...nutritional supplement treatment may be appropriate for controlling major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety, eating, and attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), addiction, and autism.“
Let’s not be sick for no good reason… Please take action!
