My uncle got tuberculosis back in the 1930's....he went to a sanatorium, high in the mountains here in British Columbia...he got pushed outside for a couple of hours every day it was sunny.....now think....why do you think they did that to him? He survived, by the way..lived to be 88.
I used to be ‘allergic’ to the sun too. This was in the 90’s during the low fat craze. I ate tons of carbs everyday, shunned saturated fats, ate fat-free salad dressing and consummed loads of sugar. After going on a strict anti-candida diet (I wonder how I developed that🤔), suddenly I could be out in the sun for several hours with no adverse effects. I’m laying in the sun as I write this☀️😎☀️
I agree with the sun tolerance. 5+ years ago, AHA diet for 25 years(high carb/low fat), 10 - 15 min in the summer sun in Louisiana and my skin was red/burnt as I'm fair completed. Today, after a "lower-carb" diet and Vit/supplements, I'm good 4 -5 hours without any issues or burning. For example, last week on the beach in Grand Isle, LA I was on the beach with just a hat and bathing suit and no sunscreen between the hours of 2 - 7 pm. No issues and no burning. I take D3, Omega 3, Magnesium malate, and K2, and eat Olive/Avacado Oil and grass fed butter. It's has made a huge difference for me. Dr Berry and Ivor, you gents are the greatest leaders. Thank you.
I’m a chronic pain patient. I have a lot of friends who are also in the same situation. One thing I noticed when I read their labs is they always come back low in vitamin D. I have noticed that vitamin D is really helps with inflammation and helping our pain control work better.
You are truely one of my hero’s Ken Berry. So grateful to hear you articulate your resilience “no matter what ... burns down!” Never give up! Keep it up so that what we in the LCHF/Keto/Carnivore community know to be true will be the truth that the world community comes to know and why. Leaving food Corps scratching their heads and farmers in a better standing!
Dr. Berry, I had the same “spidey sense” 20 years ago when my oldest was born and the doc told me there was no vitamin D in breast milk! It was unfortunate at the time because I actually didn’t believe him and also did not supplement. I was sure it was not possible! Now on our 5th baby and the midwives were super surprised at my D levels because of supplements and also my super healthy pregnancy and birth on keto. Thanks for all you do! Love Ivor’s work!
about 20 years ago i was diagnosed with an MS lesion on my optic nerve. My business kept me outside in the Auckland NZ sun about 4-6 hours a day. At the time I have heard about Vit d as a preventative for MS from Australian researcher who has the is disease. My eye specialist said having got to 50 with out getting any worse, I was a lucky person and if I kept up my sunlight exposure, I would keep my self from getting worse and to date I have had no progression and currently lesion can no longer be seen on MRI
I cannot thank the two of you enough. Started carnivore 3.5 months ago. Was having a time with my shoulders and arms. Everyone said it was oxalate but it felt like the times I was taking calcium and got buildup in my shoulders. I kept telling my husband “my bones hurt”. I saw this and got back taking my d, mg, and k2. That was a week ago and I feel so much better already !!!!

Also look up med cram. With Doctor Schultz . Doctor John Campbell Also explains the importance of vitamin d and the immune system.
My D3 level is at 71. I take 10 000 unites with 200 k2 everyday. I don't have some of the issues I had...like Fibromyalgia pain and more. My Dr. wants me to bring my levels down but I haven't. Thank you
Is it not ridiculous, you feel better and your Dr.wants you to bring your levels down?! I'd run as fast as you can from that Dr. and find a new one! That is utterly pure ignorance, functional medicine Drs would tell you keep doing what your doing, they like to see ranges from 70 to 100 especially in people with chronic conditions like autoimmune issues Fibromyalgia being 1 of them
I will research more . I have been taking Vit D3K2 mk7 10,000 IUs daily for few years. my lab level was 100 of Vit D . The doctor says stop taking your Vit D3 your toxic!! For 3 months don't take. Then only take 2000 IUs. Daily. When you get new labs and restart Vit D3. I'm worried because my bones need it and my good health may suffer...
Run from that Dr. many people feel best at much higher levels even at 150-200ng so you are likely no where near optimized. Many people require 50,000 or more per day to optimize then stay optimal- with enough k2 and magnesium etc
@leepetley here in Poland we have a doctor on YT and his result of same marker as your (158 nmol hydroxy-D25) is I don't remember exact numer but it's over 4000 so you have nothing to worry about. I am also big fan of supplementing D3 with K2-mk7 of course. I go by how I feel and not by what the lab ranges are in my area since most people are sick because they get fooled indeed by ranges established by labs (which are based on medians and other stats from population living in specific area). Dr. Berry has excellent video about lab ranges and how they are flawed.
😄😄😄sitting listening to this wonderful discussion as I eat my OMAD of 1/2 kg of Beef and 1/2 kg of pork belly hoping for summer to come back ASAP to us here in Canada, Alberta North. Love you guys and your great information, now I have to go and listen to Dr Jason Fung!
Do you have sufficient magnesium? Magnesium is consumed when the body process vitamin D, so if the levels don't go up as they should, low magnesium could be the reason. The liver converts vitamin D3 into 25(OH)D, which is what's usually measured as the blood level. If that doesn't work one can supplement with that form directly. I belive that requires a doctor's prescription. With your much to low levels, you need a doctor who know these things. It takes something like 3 months to build up to the level where it plateau out after you have changed the supplementation dose
So insightful, thank you both! Since going keto I can definitely spend more time in the sun. Btw just went carnivore and woke up for the first time in ages with such a clear head, feels great, like I’m ‘awake’ 😊
I just had to pause the video because Dr. Berry said (talking about doctors warning against Vitamin D,) "that's ignorant!" in his unmistakably middle Tennessee accent.... 😏😊
Yes, sort of amazing to embody enlightenment/intelligence and a thick Southern accent in one human, but.....he is also a lefty, and they are usually in a class of their own to begin with.....
@@flowerchild777 YES it's true, I speak from personal experience. I never burn anymore since avoiding seed oils. I make my own mayonnaise with avocado oil, and salad dressings with olive oil for example.
@@flowerchild777 yes I I found this to be true also. I am a Brit living in Thailand and since I have been keto for the last 18 months I have noticed real change in the way my skin reacts to sun. I just go brown and not red or burn as before.
I always wondered why they recommended D3 for breastfed babies. My next pregnancy will be so different from the last one! I'm so sad that I didn't know all of this the first time. It's so sad that we've been lied to for so many years and it's harming our health and the health of our children!
Yes no one told me that meat and keto would help mine and my daughters autism. Obviously its a neurological condition and cant be "healed" but it can be treated and helped with meat! We are still autistic, but the "bad" symptoms are drastically better
@@repentorperish1386Yes! The ketones that we seem to be getting from carnivore, and the lack of most things processed, adulterated, glyphosated, etc., seem to be helping both of our neurodiversities.....
I've been taking D3 (50,000 units) 2-3X per week along with K2 (600mcg every 3 days) since Feb. 2020. I started this with a Vit D serum level of 16 which was done by blood test in Jan. 2020. I am 56 y\o with no history of sickness or health issues since my teens. As of 12\3\2020, I had my blood tested and my Vit D level was @ 89 WITH NO SIGNS OF TOXICITY (my Calcium level is 9.6 mg\dl) OR ANY ADVERSE AFFECTS. I FEEL AWESOME ALL OF THE TIME! Super energy all the time with NO fatigue. My doc is not wholly on board since MOST people do not actively look to supplement this vitamin (really a hormone) to these levels, but the most recent studies PROVE AS A MATTER OF UNDISPUTED FACT, that by raising your levels to at least 55 ng\ml (75+ if your looking for increased cancer protection), your chances of catching, being hospitalized and or even dying from Covid (SARS, MERS etc.) are DRASTICALLY reduced to the point that it is just plain stupidity for doctors not to be telling the world about this! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF 2021 THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR! PLEASE, ... look into this. I TOLD YOU SO ............................................................. !
So I'm a 50yo male and for the last 3 1/2 years I've slowly started going down hill no energy no motivation for things I use to be passionate for and have had to basically force myself to go through the motions with going to work and trying to take care of my kids every day and dealing with neuropathy in my feet with numbness and tingling and last week I had my physical and I'm definitely not diabetic and pretty much every test was normal except my vitamin D and it was 16 and my M spike was .004 which is up from.003 last year and that's probably something else for a different day but I'm just wondering how long after you started supplementing could you tell a difference...my doctor acts like being that low is no big deal but I've seen to many people with horror stories about life with low D levels including myself because it's absolutely miserable to live this way...I feel like I'm dying to be honest.
@@brianpulley8652 start taking high dose of 30,000 IU D3, plus 400mg of Magnesium Glycinate, and 200 mcg of K2, daily. You will feel better in a couple months. Several docs on UA-cam promote 30,000 IU D3, because this is how much your body would make if out in the sun at noon for a couple hours. Good luck. 🤞
I can't remember the name of the farmer or the study, But the chickens back in the day when they ran loose in the pasture and/or barn-yard, had excellent levels of vitamin "D" in their livers, of course NOW a days most hens and meat birds are raised in barns with Zero sunlight. And the Vitamin "D" levels are next to nothing. Says a lot for the really bad industrial ways that big food is raising the animals that we depend on. Not good for the animals (physically or mentally) that are raised in the "factory-style" farms, or (I imagine) for our own human health as egg and chicken-meat eaters.
I used to burn in 20 minutes before and skin was itchy to (I'm a red head). I'm carnivore since 18 months and I can spend the all day in the sun without sunscreen and nothing! Not even pink. 😊
i am 75 years old and i take my vitamins on a regular basis, i found out in my mid 20s that good diet and now good quality supplements are necessary because of the food we eat and the pollution and daily stress we face and those on pharmaceuticals are not willing to look into alternative life styles and to make the changes necessary to sustain a healthy body, as someone who drank a lot of alcohol when younger i am surprised that i am in the shape i am in, a little overweight becaues of toooooooo much coffee but i know how to fix these problems when they arise,
I love your channel and find all your comments valuable helpful and interesting. You are so knowledgeable and keen to share, on this occasion, for me, when u asked Ivor to contribute, u kept talking over him or giving your few before he could speak. When he did get a chance to start to respond he hardly had time to get even his 1st point over. So, sorry to give what could be seen as negative talk, not my intention at all. But I really would have liked to hear more from him. I hope you can take this positively. I do hope so. Thanks for all the links and the mention of yours and his books. Have subscribed to Ivor's channel too now. So thankyou for your dedication and enthusiasm and sharing. I benefit hugely . 👏👌🏻
Excellent presentation by 2 great knowledgable guys. Thank you and I follow you both. Forget about the medical education and the medical system. Disastrous. I know first hand. I have learned more about health on my own and from gentlemen like Dr. Berry and Ivor than in Med school.
I take 20,000 of Vit 3 daily along with 100 of zinc and Ester C 1000 . I believe this has helped with boosting my immune system. I’m 77 and doing well . Since you first told me about about Vit D3 and I’m feeling better and I’ve noticed that it helps with my hypothyroidism. My hair has stopped falling out . I’m indoor a lot so I don’t think 20,000iu D3 is to much . So glad you told me us about it .
My daughter called me one day about 3.5 years ago to tell me she was pregnant. Literally, my first response was, "What's your Vitamin D level"? She said, "28". OMG! I made her take 5,000 IU/day even though her doc told her 28 was good. Pfffffff! Not only did she go full-term with twins, they actually had to induce labor. VD is REALLY important for pregnant women and the growing babies. I wish I had known to tell her to take more. Still, I got two pretty little girl babies.🤗
There won't be Pharma reps for D, so WE have to be the 'Pharma' reps. I'm making flyers for the general public and something with resources for the docs to convince them with the science. We are reaching out to the nursing homes and black communities especially. In the present 'climate', out of desperation, mainstream docs are waking up to the importance of the health of the immune system and importance of D and C and zinc. Your info is great!
In the summer and even in the winter I'm outside walking, riding my bike at least 4 times a week. My 26 year old daughter runs from the sun. She's always getting a cold and even covid a couple of times, me I'm great 👍
Hi Dr. Ken Berry! Hope that you and your family are doing well?! Angela AKA "1fatfroglady" here. [ A little note....Thomas DeLauer. Is one of the people who I follow on UA-cam as well. He, like you, is very informative about the nutrition and how it affects the body and stuff. He lost alot of weight! He follows Keto and intermittent fasting.] Take care! Ps....Love your guests accent. 😊 He is very interesting message about Vitamin D. 🙂👍
Our 100 lb (Husky, Lab, Sheperd mix) dog goes out and lays (naps) with her belly (less hair,) pointed toward the sun, year around. Whether it's 100 degrees outside or 35 degrees. Sometimes when it's very hot on the pavement she lays in a shaded area. I guess it's intuitive to her. She rarely missed her sun nap.
One of your best videos. Worthy of a Part Two episode with Mr. Ivor C. It would be interesting to have a video on the science processes by the AMA on how minimum daily requirements are set by them for many of the vitamins and minerals. If they have got it wrong for Vitamin D, the question becomes how accurate are their other MDR recommendations for proper nutrition?
Vitamin D3 Kirkland brand - first listed ingredient is Soybean Oil (not good?). Keto diet (general) began March 2019 due to too much carbohydrates (per my doctor). Lost 30 pounds and stable at 149 lbs. No longer taking statins, blood pressure or gout prescriptions. Last A1c was 5.0 in July 2020.
Interesting information on vitamin D from a non medical expert...thanks Dr Berry for interviewing Mr Ivor Cummins he's awesome... Actually I'm viewing and listening to your video while. having my sunbathe in Jamaica...:)
You can take high doses of Vitamin D as long as you also take Vitamin K and Magnesium. I take 50,000 iu per day for post concussion syndrome and Bipolar 2 disorder without issue
I used to get sunburnt easily (just within 20 mins despite being under the shade on the beach). After being on carnivore for approx 2 years or more now, I did get a little sunburnt in initially, but not like how I used to get it. Thereafter, I was fine and I am finally able to get a nice tan now!
I'm at 10 regarding my Vitamin D! I praise God for the Black Carnivore who encourages everyone to get blood test before starting the diet. I was prescribed 50,000 iu weekly. I followed asked if I could take more, over the counter, I was told no I'm taking plenty.
This is truth and so inspirational and life changing to many! Great video! Please continue to lead the way toward a revolution for society to regain their health!
Vitamin D for children isn't necessary as long as they get the sun about an hour a day and eat a diet rich in vitamins. As you get into your 30s and 40s your body needs more Vitamin D3 so that's when you need the level in your blood checked
Before cvid I would not have paid attention to this, but after seeing how purposefully deceptive the government and "health authorities" were at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives, I totally agree with your 'theories'.
I did have a doctor prescribe 50,000iu of D3 a day and I ended up with tremendously itchy skin that would welt up when I scratched. I decreased it to 5000iu and feel so much better now.
4 doctors missed my symptoms, my problem I had no idea that vitamin D was so very important. One doctor said take your vitamin D, no other education. I decided to go back to my college days, did the research, then I’ll ask for a test next doctor's visit in 10 weeks. Now I take 50,000IU every Monday and Im losing weight, my appetite has dwindled a bit to get in 1 meal a day. I learned to supplement with 100mcg of K-2, and 400 milligrams of magnesium gluconate...2 weeks and I think close to getting back to normal. I think it could be 6 to 12 weeks of supplementation to return to normal
I just had a visit with my nephrologist and he told me to cut my vitamin d, that I was getting too much. My level is 159+ and I've been taking 50k IU's per day for a year or two, then to make them happy knocked it down to 20k IU's per day. But, he's telling me that it will mess up my kidneys and that it will cause me mental issues. Oh, and he told me to cut my protein intake to avoid oxalate kidney stones. I've been keto for 2 years and carni for almost 2 more. I asked him to send me the data and he agreed to do so, but never did.
You....this one video talks about so much I've wondered for so long. Low vit D was my very first abnormal blood test (most blood work stays "within range"). No doctor seems to care or worry about it...often I have to push to get it tested. As soon as I get to 30 they drop the big weekly doses and say "you're good". And then the next year poof I'm deficient again. I take 5k daily, light skinned, Irish ancestry (which I thought was crazy that plays into it), and recently dx with polymorphous light eruption (which I knew I had for many of my last 20 years of chronic stuff). I am about to go full carnivore and just eating up all of your videos Dr. Berry! I've done a few diet trials and I am wowed by the changes....20 years of never-changing issues....changing....with just a week or so ish.
Yeah we've had the "hole in the ozone layer BS" trotted out in Australia and New Zealand for many years now. Nobody looks at the real nitritional reasons why melanoma is an issue. Or the harm that sunblocks are doing.
Dr Berry, Can you please address MTHFR (gene mutation) and what we can do to supplement safely for those who have the gene mutation? God bless you and the work that you do.
So much mixed info on Vit D. Winter now with snow. Not getting any Vit D from the sun! Love Ivor's accent. Test in bloodwork 25 (OH)D and have it at least above 30. Also need magnesium and K2
Just had mine checked. It's 45 ng/mL. I was disappointed that it wasn't higher, because for the past 3 months I've been working an outdoor job where I get a lot of sun. I'm very fair-skinned, but now have tan forearms, neck and lower legs.
Dr Barry, remember the story you told about the breast milk and the vitamin D and that feeling or thought you had of that can’t be right? Well that’s the same feeling and thought I got when you said black people need ten times the amount of sun as lighter skinned people. There are so many different interpretations of the “data” you guys mentioned that it boggles my mind. I think this comment will not be well received but I felt compelled to leave it. Thank you for your work and quest to discover the truth about health and diet. And for helping to educate.
I’ve been told by my dermatologist to stay out of the sun. Mostly, to prevent skin cancer. Where I currently live, we have dessert weather. I get sun burn quickly here. Oh, also to prevent premature skin aging. I work from home and don’t get outdoors much. Which I like, but have thought about getting a vitamin D deficiency blood test. Thought about taking the large dose of the vitamin once per week. I will try to get it from natural food sources, now. I love the sun. I wish there was an alternative that doesn’t cause wrinkled skin nor pigment. I have constellation freckles. I wish there was a light bulb that doesn’t cause skin aging. Oh, well...
I grew up in California in the 1950's and was prescribed cod liver oil as a child because I had rickets. My legs straightened at about age of 7 or 8 and the oil was stopped. Now I have bowed legs because the D was stopped. Clearly I needed to continue D supplementation. BTW, I am an olive skinned Greek. My brother who is light skinned does not have bowed legs.
Thank you both so very much.... I am low in all these and suffering terribly. Local Dr just keeps giving chemicals drugs. All of those as well Omg thank you
Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world! I wonder how much is related to the fact that we hide away in our homes for 6-8 months of the year, and slather on the sunscreen when we are outside
Thank you so much for having Ivor on....I watch both of you... I have always taken 5000 IU's of D3 daily ...my health store gal scared me into lowering that dose and my hair is falling out in handfuls... I'm so glad I watched this... I think there is a correlation between my hair loss and lowering my vitamin D3 2 months ago... what do you think Dr. Berry?
I don't think your hair loss has anything to do with the vit d. supplement.I don't take any vit. D supplement and I have thick hair. I have salmon, oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, cheese which all contain vit D. Also a lot of vegetables. The only problem I have with supplements is because their isolated and I don't know what chemicals are used to extract it. I read that fish oil supplements were extracted with some toxic chemical and the fish oxidized.

My grandpa used to say the sun was the best medicine for his arthritis. He was right!
I've noticed for a while now that in the medical profession it's not about health it's about wealth.
Which profession isn't
@Helen _ Patrick Does it involve vitamin D?
and ideaologies, if the "medical professional" believes strongly in something, they will push those ideas
Lol
Well to be fair without money its tough to get things done. I would like to see a balance personally
I have been Totally Ketogenic for 4 years--Great results--No Medications--These 2 Gentlemen are THE PROS

😄😄😄sitting listening to this wonderful discussion as I eat my OMAD of 1/2 kg of Beef and 1/2 kg of pork belly hoping for summer to come back ASAP to us here in Canada, Alberta North. Love you guys and your great information, now I have to go and listen to Dr Jason Fung!
Thanks to God you are out there Dr. Berry! Thank you! This was a good session.
I have been struggling for over 10 years vit d always comes back
do you also supplement with B-1 and B-12 methylcobalamin ?
@@jjpauline1828 i have started recently
parathyroid hormone levels?
Do you have sufficient magnesium?
Magnesium is consumed when the body process vitamin D, so if the levels don't go up as they should, low magnesium could be the reason.
The liver converts vitamin D3 into 25(OH)D, which is what's usually measured as the blood level.
If that doesn't work one can supplement with that form directly. I belive that requires a doctor's prescription.
With your much to low levels, you need a doctor who know these things.
It takes something like 3 months to build up to the level where it plateau out after you have changed the supplementation dose
You don’t need 3 months- a week of Mega doses does it
So insightful, thank you both! Since going keto I can definitely spend more time in the sun. Btw just went carnivore and woke up for the first time in ages with such a clear head, feels great, like I’m ‘awake’ 😊
2 of the best accents in the world in one video.. I'm in heaven :D
😂😅😆🤣
Me too!
Suyeta Rose love it💕
I just had to pause the video because Dr. Berry said (talking about doctors warning against Vitamin D,) "that's ignorant!" in his unmistakably middle Tennessee accent.... 😏😊
Yes, sort of amazing to embody enlightenment/intelligence and a thick Southern accent in one human, but.....he is also a lefty, and they are usually in a class of their own to begin with.....
Free from sunburn since stopping to seed oil’s.
Wow, is this true!?? Thanks so much for sharing this information👍
@@flowerchild777 probably not true for all.
Same for me. I practically dare the sun to burn me now, although of course I don't allow myself to burn. Never use sun screen. Seed oils are poison.
@@flowerchild777 YES it's true, I speak from personal experience. I never burn anymore since avoiding seed oils. I make my own mayonnaise with avocado oil, and salad dressings with olive oil for example.
@@flowerchild777 yes I I found this to be true also. I am a Brit living in Thailand and since I have been keto for the last 18 months I have noticed real change in the way my skin reacts to sun. I just go brown and not red or burn as before.
I Love Ivor! I love listenning to both of you! Dr Berry and Ivor Cummins
Thanks guys for the excellent review! Finally heard a good reason to skip the 50,000 Iu D2 prescription. Got to confess learn something new every day.
I still take mine once per week and supplement with 10000D3 and 50mcg K2 daily
I always wondered why they recommended D3 for breastfed babies. My next pregnancy will be so different from the last one! I'm so sad that I didn't know all of this the first time. It's so sad that we've been lied to for so many years and it's harming our health and the health of our children!
Yes no one told me that meat and keto would help mine and my daughters autism. Obviously its a neurological condition and cant be "healed" but it can be treated and helped with meat! We are still autistic, but the "bad" symptoms are drastically better
@@repentorperish1386 God bless you both! I believe love between a mother and child plus a good diet will conquer anything!
@@repentorperish1386Yes! The ketones that we seem to be getting from carnivore, and the lack of most things processed, adulterated, glyphosated, etc., seem to be helping both of our neurodiversities.....
Off topic I know, but simply cant get over how youthful you look, since shifting to carnivore diet Dr. Berry.
Here is a list of VITAMIN D3 rich foods: ua-cam.com/video/uaC6VG0jvZg/v-deo.html
I've been taking D3 (50,000 units) 2-3X per week along with K2 (600mcg every 3 days) since Feb. 2020. I started this with a Vit D serum level of 16 which was done by blood test in Jan. 2020. I am 56 y\o with no history of sickness or health issues since my teens. As of 12\3\2020, I had my blood tested and my Vit D level was @ 89 WITH NO SIGNS OF TOXICITY (my Calcium level is 9.6 mg\dl) OR ANY ADVERSE AFFECTS. I FEEL AWESOME ALL OF THE TIME! Super energy all the time with NO fatigue. My doc is not wholly on board since MOST people do not actively look to supplement this vitamin (really a hormone) to these levels, but the most recent studies PROVE AS A MATTER OF UNDISPUTED FACT, that by raising your levels to at least 55 ng\ml (75+ if your looking for increased cancer protection), your chances of catching, being hospitalized and or even dying from Covid (SARS, MERS etc.) are DRASTICALLY reduced to the point that it is just plain stupidity for doctors not to be telling the world about this! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF 2021 THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR! PLEASE, ... look into this. I TOLD YOU SO ............................................................. !
So I'm a 50yo male and for the last 3 1/2 years I've slowly started going down hill no energy no motivation for things I use to be passionate for and have had to basically force myself to go through the motions with going to work and trying to take care of my kids every day and dealing with neuropathy in my feet with numbness and tingling and last week I had my physical and I'm definitely not diabetic and pretty much every test was normal except my vitamin D and it was 16 and my M spike was .004 which is up from.003 last year and that's probably something else for a different day but I'm just wondering how long after you started supplementing could you tell a difference...my doctor acts like being that low is no big deal but I've seen to many people with horror stories about life with low D levels including myself because it's absolutely miserable to live this way...I feel like I'm dying to be honest.
@@brianpulley8652 feel your pain on so many levels. chin up. tomorrow is a new day 🙂
love, m.
@@brianpulley8652 start taking high dose of 30,000 IU D3, plus 400mg of Magnesium Glycinate, and 200 mcg of K2, daily. You will feel better in a couple months. Several docs on UA-cam promote 30,000 IU D3, because this is how much your body would make if out in the sun at noon for a couple hours. Good luck. 🤞
I can't remember the name of the farmer or the study, But the chickens back in the day when they ran loose in the pasture and/or barn-yard, had excellent levels of vitamin "D" in their livers, of course NOW a days most hens and meat birds are raised in barns with Zero sunlight. And the Vitamin "D" levels are next to nothing. Says a lot for the really bad industrial ways that big food is raising the animals that we depend on. Not good for the animals (physically or mentally) that are raised in the "factory-style" farms, or (I imagine) for our own human health as egg and chicken-meat eaters.
Whoa.....good points!!
Farmers fed wrong data. Many are waking up thankgoodness
Look up the difference in yolk colors from store bought to free roaming backyard chickens.
@@loriwyoming835 Yellow vs Orange
Two thumbs up! Thank god for those like you that disseminate the truth despite corporate crap!
I totally agree with the old joke - I am a secondary vegetarian, cows eat grass and I eat cows!
My vit D was 40 and now 69 in two months! I have been supplementing D3 5k IU and 10IU every other day
nice
I am at 18 trying to get to 70
I used to burn in 20 minutes before and skin was itchy to (I'm a red head). I'm carnivore since 18 months and I can spend the all day in the sun without sunscreen and nothing! Not even pink. 😊
I love Ivor and have been following the Fat Emperor for quite a while!
🌻🐾🌷🐹🐾🍃 Me too. Love Ivor. I just scheduled another coronary artery calcium scan.
That is so true. I am a natural red head very light skin and could not be in the sun. Since changing my diet no problem.
At minute 40. TB and D3. Perhaps that is why sanitariums in the southwest had success with remission. Plenty of sun.
I like the way the guest uses "we" to refer to what life was doing 300 or 400 million years ago.
Thank you for this video - and you give all this education for free .... you are kings
Love how the sun is mostly blocked out by the time you leave work and youre too tired to notice?
i am 75 years old and i take my vitamins on a regular basis, i found out in my mid 20s that good diet and now good quality supplements are necessary
because of the food we eat and the pollution and daily stress we face and those on pharmaceuticals are not willing to look into alternative life styles and
to make the changes necessary to sustain a healthy body, as someone who drank a lot of alcohol when younger i am surprised that i am in the shape i
am in, a little overweight becaues of toooooooo much coffee but i know how to fix these problems when they arise,
I love your channel and find all your comments valuable helpful and interesting. You are so knowledgeable and keen to share, on this occasion, for me, when u asked Ivor to contribute, u kept talking over him or giving your few before he could speak. When he did get a chance to start to respond he hardly had time to get even his 1st point over. So, sorry to give what could be seen as negative talk, not my intention at all. But I really would have liked to hear more from him. I hope you can take this positively. I do hope so.
Thanks for all the links and the mention of yours and his books. Have subscribed to Ivor's channel too now.
So thankyou for your dedication and enthusiasm and sharing. I benefit hugely . 👏👌🏻
Excellent presentation by 2 great knowledgable guys. Thank you and I follow you both. Forget about the medical education and the medical system. Disastrous. I know first hand. I have learned more about health on my own and from gentlemen like Dr. Berry and Ivor than in Med school.
I take 20,000 of Vit 3 daily along with 100 of zinc and Ester C 1000 . I believe this has helped with boosting my immune system. I’m 77 and doing well . Since you first told me about about Vit D3 and I’m feeling better and I’ve noticed that it helps with my hypothyroidism. My hair has stopped falling out . I’m indoor a lot so I don’t think 20,000iu D3 is to much . So glad you told me us about it .
I read that over 4000 daily causes toxicity.
@@nzimbilef You read wrong.
That high zinc can wreak havoc on your copper.
parathyroid hormone levels?
@@nzimbilef If that amount was toxic, people wouldn't be able to survive being in the sun more than a few minutes or so a day... So no.
My daughter called me one day about 3.5 years ago to tell me she was pregnant. Literally, my first response was, "What's your Vitamin D level"? She said, "28". OMG! I made her take 5,000 IU/day even though her doc told her 28 was good. Pfffffff! Not only did she go full-term with twins, they actually had to induce labor. VD is REALLY important for pregnant women and the growing babies. I wish I had known to tell her to take more. Still, I got two pretty little girl babies.🤗
Wow.
Wow! Two of my favourite smart men on the same podcast. 🎉🎶 My brain is dancing!
There won't be Pharma reps for D, so WE have to be the 'Pharma' reps. I'm making flyers for the general public and something with resources for the docs to convince them with the science. We are reaching out to the nursing homes and black communities especially. In the present 'climate', out of desperation, mainstream docs are waking up to the importance of the health of the immune system and importance of D and C and zinc. Your info is great!
Hi Doctors. You are doing a great job. Thank you.
I know Ivor's work ... great interviews and tons of helpful information .... Thank you, both!
In the summer and even in the winter I'm outside walking, riding my bike at least 4 times a week. My 26 year old daughter runs from the sun. She's always getting a cold and even covid a couple of times, me I'm great 👍
Hi Dr. Ken Berry! Hope that you and your family are doing well?! Angela AKA "1fatfroglady" here. [ A little note....Thomas DeLauer. Is one of the people who I follow on UA-cam as well. He, like you, is very informative about the nutrition and how it affects the body and stuff. He lost alot of weight! He follows Keto and intermittent fasting.] Take care!
Ps....Love your guests accent. 😊 He is very interesting message about Vitamin D. 🙂👍
Get Ivor's book! It's great! And Dr Berry's, too. Love you guys!
So glad to see your video on this topic.
Thank you for watching, and Sharing!
Our 100 lb (Husky, Lab, Sheperd mix) dog goes out and lays (naps) with her belly (less hair,) pointed toward the sun, year around. Whether it's 100 degrees outside or 35 degrees. Sometimes when it's very hot on the pavement she lays in a shaded area. I guess it's intuitive to her. She rarely missed her sun nap.
Dogs don't make vitamin d from the sun they have to get it from their diet.
Another great video.Lots of great info. Many, many thanks. Congrats on 3 million subscribers. Love the guest speakers.
I have followed Ivor for years, bought his book and ESPECIALLY during Blovid you-know-what.
One of your best videos. Worthy of a Part Two episode with Mr. Ivor C. It would be interesting to have a video on the science processes by the AMA on how minimum daily requirements are set by them for many of the vitamins and minerals. If they have got it wrong for Vitamin D, the question becomes how accurate are their other MDR recommendations for proper nutrition?
I have MS. I love talking about this
.
Vitamin D3 Kirkland brand - first listed ingredient is Soybean Oil (not good?). Keto diet (general) began March 2019 due to too much carbohydrates (per my doctor). Lost 30 pounds and stable at 149 lbs. No longer taking statins, blood pressure or gout prescriptions. Last A1c was 5.0 in July 2020.
Yes horrible soy oil- need one in coconut oil etc
Interesting information on vitamin D from a non medical expert...thanks Dr Berry for interviewing Mr Ivor Cummins he's awesome... Actually I'm viewing and listening to your video while. having my sunbathe in Jamaica...:)
You can take high doses of Vitamin D as long as you also take Vitamin K and Magnesium. I take 50,000 iu per day for post concussion syndrome and Bipolar 2 disorder without issue
Are you still taking 50,000?
TOXIC to the doctor's POCKET!
I don't agree with the "coming out of the ocean" statement, but that's a different topic. Our bodies are amazing.
I used to get sunburnt easily (just within 20 mins despite being under the shade on the beach). After being on carnivore for approx 2 years or more now, I did get a little sunburnt in initially, but not like how I used to get it. Thereafter, I was fine and I am finally able to get a nice tan now!
I'm at 10 regarding my Vitamin D! I praise God for the Black Carnivore who encourages everyone to get blood test before starting the diet.
I was prescribed 50,000 iu weekly. I followed asked if I could take more, over the counter, I was told no I'm taking plenty.
This is truth and so inspirational and life changing to many! Great video! Please continue to lead the way toward a revolution for society to regain their health!
What about vitamin D3 for children? Is it safe to supplement and how much would you recommend?
Thank you for this episode. You guys rock!
Vitamin D for children isn't necessary as long as they get the sun about an hour a day and eat a diet rich in vitamins. As you get into your 30s and 40s your body needs more Vitamin D3 so that's when you need the level in your blood checked
Get their levels checked and then supplement if needed.
Such a treat to watch these two talk! ...so educative ...thanks folks!
Before cvid I would not have paid attention to this, but after seeing how purposefully deceptive the government and "health authorities" were at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives, I totally agree with your 'theories'.
I did have a doctor prescribe 50,000iu of D3 a day and I ended up with tremendously itchy skin that would welt up when I scratched. I decreased it to 5000iu and feel so much better now.
4 doctors missed my symptoms, my problem I had no idea that vitamin D was so very important. One doctor said take your vitamin D, no other education. I decided to go back to my college days, did the research, then I’ll ask for a test next doctor's visit in 10 weeks. Now I take 50,000IU every Monday and Im losing weight, my appetite has dwindled a bit to get in 1 meal a day. I learned to supplement with 100mcg of K-2, and 400 milligrams of magnesium gluconate...2 weeks and I think close to getting back to normal. I think it could be 6 to 12 weeks of supplementation to return to normal
I just had a visit with my nephrologist and he told me to cut my vitamin d, that I was getting too much. My level is 159+ and I've been taking 50k IU's per day for a year or two, then to make them happy knocked it down to 20k IU's per day. But, he's telling me that it will mess up my kidneys and that it will cause me mental issues. Oh, and he told me to cut my protein intake to avoid oxalate kidney stones. I've been keto for 2 years and carni for almost 2 more. I asked him to send me the data and he agreed to do so, but never did.
Google new study:
Protein Intake and Mortality in Older Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease...
You....this one video talks about so much I've wondered for so long. Low vit D was my very first abnormal blood test (most blood work stays "within range"). No doctor seems to care or worry about it...often I have to push to get it tested. As soon as I get to 30 they drop the big weekly doses and say "you're good". And then the next year poof I'm deficient again. I take 5k daily, light skinned, Irish ancestry (which I thought was crazy that plays into it), and recently dx with polymorphous light eruption (which I knew I had for many of my last 20 years of chronic stuff). I am about to go full carnivore and just eating up all of your videos Dr. Berry! I've done a few diet trials and I am wowed by the changes....20 years of never-changing issues....changing....with just a week or so ish.
Yeah we've had the "hole in the ozone layer BS" trotted out in Australia and New Zealand for many years now. Nobody looks at the real nitritional reasons why melanoma is an issue. Or the harm that sunblocks are doing.
Dr Berry,
Can you please address MTHFR (gene mutation) and what we can do to supplement safely for those who have the gene mutation?
God bless you and the work that you do.
I think Thorne has something for that
So much mixed info on Vit D. Winter now with snow. Not getting any Vit D from the sun! Love Ivor's accent. Test in bloodwork 25 (OH)D and have it at least above 30. Also need magnesium and K2
Just had mine checked. It's 45 ng/mL. I was disappointed that it wasn't higher, because for the past 3 months I've been working an outdoor job where I get a lot of sun. I'm very fair-skinned, but now have tan forearms, neck and lower legs.
hello doctor I love your channel and I love how real you are. and thank you for help
Dr Barry, remember the story you told about the breast milk and the vitamin D and that feeling or thought you had of that can’t be right? Well that’s the same feeling and thought I got when you said black people need ten times the amount of sun as lighter skinned people. There are so many different interpretations of the “data” you guys mentioned that it boggles my mind. I think this comment will not be well received but I felt compelled to leave it. Thank you for your work and quest to discover the truth about health and diet. And for helping to educate.
I’ve been told by my dermatologist to stay out of the sun. Mostly, to prevent skin cancer. Where I currently live, we have dessert weather. I get sun burn quickly here. Oh, also to prevent premature skin aging. I work from home and don’t get outdoors much. Which I like, but have thought about getting a vitamin D deficiency blood test. Thought about taking the large dose of the vitamin once per week. I will try to get it from natural food sources, now. I love the sun. I wish there was an alternative that doesn’t cause wrinkled skin nor pigment. I have constellation freckles. I wish there was a light bulb that doesn’t cause skin aging. Oh, well...
Amazon sells D3 50,000 units from multiple venders. I take one a week and I increase to 2-3 a day when (if) I start to feel sick.
I grew up in California in the 1950's and was prescribed cod liver oil as a child because I had rickets. My legs straightened at about age of 7 or 8 and the oil was stopped. Now I have bowed legs because the D was stopped. Clearly I needed to continue D supplementation. BTW, I am an olive skinned Greek. My brother who is light skinned does not have bowed legs.
Thank you both so very much.... I am low in all these and suffering terribly. Local Dr just keeps giving chemicals drugs. All of those as well
Omg thank you
Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world! I wonder how much is related to the fact that we hide away in our homes for 6-8 months of the year, and slather on the sunscreen when we are outside
Vit d can almost stop MS and most autoimmune attacks
I would love a debate with Dr.Berry and Ivor Cumins with Stephen Meyer and Douglas Axe on evolution and protein folding.
What do you think about taking the K2+D3 vitamin combination in one pill. It's 5000 iu of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of Vitamin K2
EXCELLENT video thank you both!!
Fantastic Information 👍
Thanks, Dr Berry 😊❤️
Is there a better time of the day to take vitamin d? Am,pm? Love your videos.
Vitamin D is very important.
Yes it is!
or is it?
Dose ? With or without k 2
Thanks so much for this gem
I was told that for every 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 I take, I should also take 100mcg of Vitamin K2 and 400mg of Magnesium Glycinate.
So informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much for having Ivor on....I watch both of you... I have always taken 5000 IU's of D3 daily ...my health store gal scared me into lowering that dose and my hair is falling out in handfuls... I'm so glad I watched this... I think there is a correlation between my hair loss and lowering my vitamin D3 2 months ago... what do you think Dr. Berry?
I don't think your hair loss has anything to do with the vit d. supplement.I don't take any vit. D supplement and I have thick hair. I have salmon, oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, cheese which all contain vit D. Also a lot of vegetables. The only problem I have with supplements is because their isolated and I don't know what chemicals are used to extract it. I read that fish oil supplements were extracted with some toxic chemical and the fish oxidized.
Oh no collier capsules out then or is there a reputable brand?
