Determinants of vitamin D deficiency in the UK (Clinical Nutrition)
University of South Australia (16th December)
www.clinicalnutritionjournal....

www.unisa.edu.au/Media-Centre...
Using UK Biobank data
www.ukbiobank.ac.uk
Severe vitamin D deficiency remains an issue throughout the UK
Cross-ethnic analyses on the prevalence and determinants of vitamin D deficiency
25(OH)D equal to or less than 25 nmol/L Calcifediol
10 ng/ml
Data from 440,581 UK Biobank participants
415,903 identified as White European
7,880 Asian
7,602 Black African
1,383 Chinese
6,473 of mixed ancestry
Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency
Asian ancestry
57.2% in winter or spring
50.8% in summer or autumn
Black African ancestry
38.5% in winter and spring
30.8% in summer or autumn
Mixed ancestry
36.5% in winter and spring
22.5% in summer or autumn
Chinese ancestry
33.1% in winter and spring
20.7% in summer or autumn
White European ancestry
17.5% in winter and spring
5.9% in summer or autumn
Participants with higher socioeconomic deprivation
More likely to have 25(OH)D deficiency compared to less deprived participants (P = less than 1 × 10 −300)
This pattern was more apparent among those of White European ancestry
Regular consumption of oily fish was associated with reduced odds of vitamin D deficiency across all ethnicities
Asians are less likely to eat fish or use vitamin D supplements compared to other ethnicities
Outdoor-time in summer was less effective for Black Africans than White Europeans
Other risk factors
Living further north
Indoor employment
Computer time and games
Professor Elina Hypponen (SA)
The severity of vitamin D deficiency is concerning
especially with the high rates of COVID-19 infections in Europe and elsewhere in the northern hemisphere this winter
Clinical trials have shown that vitamin D supplements are beneficial in the prevention of respiratory infections and even mortality
Vitamin D is not expensive and the doses which have shown the greatest benefits are those that we can all acquire over the counter from the local pharmacy
Given the COVID-19 pandemic, now is really the time for all who may be affected to take action
I've been taking vitamin D supplements since march. Who else has?
I have too since march, wish i started taking them years ago
@@joannemollie I wished I started much earlier too...
Same.
10000IU since then....weight adjusted dose
For 3 years now
I remember about twenty years ago reading papers that said that vitamin D deficiency was common and made people prone to respiratory infections.
as long as there is no economic incentive we will read also in 20 years about the same and still will not do something about it...
This has been known for years, people with good levels of vitamin D still get the infection but they fight it off quickly without many of the complications that are seeing people hospitalised. People with dark skin are especially vulnerable as they often have very low vitamin D in countries with cold climates. You would think that this fact alone would galvanise the media into action but not when it means their friends don't get the fat government contracts for PPE end such.
People with optimal D levels get far fewer cancers
@@snowbird6855 With cancer at epidemic levels this alone should be enough to recommend people make sure they are not deficient.
There's a long list of conditions that are lessened by Vitamin D www.vitamindsociety.org/benefits.php
Good afternoon John. You must feel like your'e banging your head against a wall with the messaging about Vit-D but take consolation that you have informed at least 826 thousand folks around the world along with their families and friends. I'm just one subscriber but have at least ten of my kin now taking supplement Vit-D because of your messaging earlier in the year. We thank you most sincerely for it.
Keep banging Doc, maybe one day government health departments will take notice.
Keep well friend!
And I have an entire workforce taking 4000 iu daily since March. They are front line health workers and not one of them has succumbed to the visrus so far
me too !
everyone I know I tell them about V .D
@@susanwallis7249
That is fantastic Susan!!
👍👏👏👏
It's a bit like banging my head with regards to symptoms NHS officially recognises...! Welcome to UK, we are just going to choose to know it better ...!
Myself and my elderly mother have just recovered from covid. She was symptomatic first and I became symptomatic after spending 3 days isolating in the same house as her. Both of us were taking 9000 IU Vitamin D, 500mg quercetin, 1200mg NAC, 30mg elemental zinc, 1000mg Vitamin C, 400mcg Selenium and fish oils before and throughout. We both had a single day of fever and muscle aches before the inflammation / cytokines calmed down and we recovered. Our first and last symptom were 7 days apart. Supplementation works!
a 'expert' would it was coincidence or correlation is not proof of causation
Makes one wonder why the medical fraternity is not talking about the role of supplements and nutritions. As John said "Follow the science/Evidence.....no matter where kit leads". There is a conspiracy of silence about the the role of Vitamin D, Zine, Quein etc. I have no trust for the politicians and certain people in the medical field.
@@cedwards9083 4 trilli. they not charties on in profits
But no one can get rich from this. So more research is needed 🙄
@@esecallumTotally agree, but I'll happily take a correlation if it means my mother lives to see another day :)
" 'We're in a health care emergency.' Let me re-phrase that: People are dying" - Dr. C
3600 in the state yesterday
Many of those people dying could have lived had they taken vitamin D3.
Review panel joint statement in response to Dr John:
"Though it is a health emergency lets wait months on end till researchers do a study that ticks all our boxes. Maybe not recommending vit D now does risk many lives as we know that low vit D is correlated given also that it is safe at or below 4000IU, but lets just kerp things as they are till then, ok?"
.. well, the sort of thing they would say if they were - half way - honest.
Love his direct and serious tone. Sit up and take notice on the Vit D issue please!
@@ralphwilmot6351 you do realize that the average every day person does not think about Vit. D in their normal lives. People on the whole in general are stupid morons. I bet if you polled 100 people on the street about Vit. D 90 of them would have no idea what your talking about and would be clueless
There is no money in vitamin D research which is why it is not being done as much as it should
No money? a billion $ industry! www.grandviewresearch.com/press-release/global-dietary-supplements-market
I’m sorry, I meant for pharmaceutical companies. Anything that is not patentable does not get further research. And because they’re not FDA approved you don’t need research to sell vitamins/ supplements, so while the industry thrives, and certainly does earn money, research is not required to do so. It’s actually a lot more complicated than my original comment makes it out to be. But if you know anything about patent law in the medical industry you’ll know what I am alluding to
@@Shannon_Vlogs I prefer to take my vitamins in REAL food. Taste a lot better than pills. God Jul! Christmas herring: 15 mcg/600 IU per 100 grams: God Jul! ❄️ ☃️ ⛄️
ua-cam.com/video/pQACGGLvnmM/v-deo.html
Same for Ivermectin
Shannon Vlogs. I think another reason is in play. If a simple supplement would dramatically improve the terrific downside of Covid or the flu. The economic loss for big pharmaceutical companies would be staggering. The old chestnut “there is no money in the cure”. 6000 IU’s per day could preclude someone from getting or suffering at hospital level. In conjunction with utilizing existing (hands, face, distance) protocol. Thus rendering Covid or others flues to the status of stay at home care risk. There’s no money in prevention. Vitamin D. Exercise. Diet. Regular blood screening. Etc. are major factors of proactive longevity. Medicare doesn’t pay for an annual physical. Can you imagine that 😳🤪
This morning I heard the same line about more research is needed on the local news. I thank you for being straight with us from the beginning. I don't know what we would do without you, Dr. Campbell!
Because of you, and your videos, I started my husband and I on Vitamin D is February. Thank you so much for your information and keeping ahead of others to keep us aware on safety, diet, vitamins. One real lesson I follow, know WHO to believe. Grateful for you.
Hear hear!!

@@lmr691 I became medically SEVERELY DEFICIENT 20 years ago. In competitive athletic health, then TBI & epilepsy, treated with carbamazepine[Tegratol™]. Soon, obesity, depression followed unknown new drug-caused deficiency.🙁
Then 3 years ago I was finally diagnosed by a Nurse Practitioner! Preloaded & put on a moderate (for my depleting prescription & large BMI) 5,000IU/day maintenance.
~No colds!
~No flu's! (unvaccinated)
~Relieved Severe Depression!
But my level reached just a barely sufficient 30ng/ml because of my issues. Then more Covid research reading+Dr. Campbell/others/ vitamindwiki.com I made my goal at least 40ng/ml.
So I first doubled, then to 25,000IU for a month & back to 10,000IU. My level is now an OPTIMAL 54ng/ml!
More reading suggests that at 70-80ng/ml I will have greater success with my weightloss plan, so I will take 15,000IU/day for the Winter.
@@carzyscenctist : Your words and links don't mean anything to anyone who is capable of critical thinking. Literally everything you claim has been debunked many times over and besides, *all* of that information is coming *solely* from the alt-right. These are people that trust most the ramblings of an *anonymous internet troll.* Just because you are so gullible and easily fooled does not mean the average person is as ignorant.
Face it, you voted for a president who was even decades before he was electoral'd known to be one of the most famous conmen in the world. Studies have shown that this current American president reject is the single greatest spreader of misinformation about the virus in the entire world.
New evidence has also come out in the last few days that they wanted as many people to be infected as possible. This of course unequivocably proves they also wanted as many people as possible to *die* from the disease.
Now, you need to face up to whatever bigotry you have that allowed you to fall for such an evil man who has committed intentional second degree mass murder of many many thousands of innocent American civilians, and by spreading this obviously false information, you too are complicit in this mass murder campaign.
Is that *really* who *you* want to be?
Is that what you want to have to tell Saint Peter?
Dr John Campbell is brilliant....I share his astonishment and anger at the ineptitude of the scientific and political establishment regarding Vit D.
The clowns running this shambles are in with the Vaccine companies not going to make any money out of Vit D for sure.
more to the point, he is open minded
Well done Dr Campbell, my family and I are taking our daily Vitamin D supplements. All thanks to you. I have been reminding friends and family to take theirs too.

Fantastic tell friends about vitimin d to pass it on stay safe from Glasgow scotland
I take 5,000iu of Vitamin D, a multivitamin, a probiotic, and fish oil daily. I also exercise regularly, try to sleep 7+ hours a night, and eat as healthy as I can. Haven't been sick in years. Hope everyone stays safe❤
I have asthma, multiple mental illnesses, insomnia, and chronic stress. All of these can negatively impact my immune system, so I do the best I can to stay healthy. 🤧
Similar except its the coworkers that have mental illness / brainwashed from media. ;)
@@darwinjina mental illness and brainwashed are 2 separate things lol
Excellent
Sounds like you are constantly under the weather.
@ProductWilbeHot marijuana made my anxiety worse and gave me panic attacks and paranoia. I take antidepressants, a mood stabilizer, a sedative, and a medication to reduce nightmares. I also recently found a therapist specialized in Trauma work.
Dr Campbell, I have been following your channel every day from january. Thank you so much for all your work. My family and I (14 persons) in Antwerp Belgium have been taken vitamine D and zinc since february and we are wearing masks long before it was official advice, thanks to you. Belgium has been the hardest hit by Covid but no one of our family has tested positive so far. Not even my parents who are 74 y old, they are obese and have diabetes.
You need to take Quercetin as well. It gets the zinc into your cells like HCQ does.
Diabetes type 2 can be cured. Search for Dr Jason Fung.
Bet people call you Joe Bellend as a laugh dude! 😆🤪
vitamin D @3-5000 IU per day with Zinc 40-50-mg won't harm you, most likely will keep you healthy. Don't expect mainstream medicine to suggest such a common sense approach
LOL
I adore your honesty Dr. Campbell. Quote"....I actually get my mine from the supermarket - it's cheaper." 🙃🤣
Winston is wearing a very sophisticated mask today and is paying attention to every word Dr. Campbell is saying, as always .... 😍
Gotta love that Winston
Winston is Dr John's guard dog. He chases the trolls away. 🐕
Congratulations Winston
Baaa aaaa aaa
@@MysMystery13 No dear......... it's woof
I saw that reporting from the BBC and my heart sank.
My parents are nearing eighty, glad I could convince them to take Vitamin D and Zinc regularly in this pandemic, lowering the risk a bit. I take it too, of course. Thanks for this (as usual) very helpful information.
Yes me to. It did take a lot of persuasion tho. But now I feel a lot better about their out look. Also, an auto immune skin condition that used to affect my dads face and scalp has completely cleared up
When my husband and I took extra zinc it made us feel dizzy. We stopped as we eat a lot of fish. I think we have high levels anyway.
Well done best wishes from Glasgow scotland stay safe
I have tried with my 80, going on 90 year old parents... even gave them 3 months of tabs no charge...they handed them back. 🤷🏻♀️
@@freebirdh604 My 84 yr old dad wouldn't take it to start with, even though it's with his prescription. But, he has now just started taking it.......phew
If vitamin D was created by a multinational corporation and listed on the stock market, the media would be promoting vitamin D. This pandemic has been turned into a money maker.
Only if it was in patent
well said.
Vitamin D is produced by various multinational corporations via the consumer vitamin health brands that they own such as Seven Seas, previously owned by Merck and sold in 2019 to Proctor & Gamble, but out of patent products don't attract research because there is no way of getting the research money back.
@@peteanderson7416 So no studies are performed because there is no money to be made. I could not agree more.
good point, even more to the point.... they'd force us to take it LOL
YOU Sir are second to none. Kudos and my hats off to you.
This issue is of utmost concern for me. It is the one issue with this CV thing that makes me wonder what's really going on!
We all feel your frustration here. Thanks so much for what you're doing, John!
You display the perfect level of frustration.
Thank you very mutch. Now i have loaded down both your books. I am nurse but it was long ago so its good to get it all again very usefull
The older you are the more D3 you need as our bodies become less efficient at converting it. I'm 64 and I take 5,000 iu to stay in the optimal range.
Iam 66 take 8000 iu a day had blood test for vit d level it was 65 .
Great video as always. You don't want to rant about what has been said regarding Vit.D on your channel. Personally I think you should be on prime time TV news channels putting the point across. Kep up the excellent work your are doing. Thank you
Back in your early recommendations I went out and bought everyone in the family a huge bottle of vitamin D from Costco and gave them each their own bottle and said take these they will save your life because Dr. Campbell said so!
"No great fan of the BBC". John's judgment on the media is as sound as it is on medical matters.
He has a biased white washed perspective. Full of lies
@@MoveInSilence2023 Perhaps, but I do believe John is close to an awakening/lightbulb moment...
They are a propaganda tool for the globalist cabal. They reported on the collapse of a WTC building half an hour before it happened. ua-cam.com/video/s_NbueEmDVU/v-deo.html

BBC is always pro Israel
Always
Pleased to say that my wife and I took part in the Biobank initiative.
Tip: You can get Vit D3 at Costco under their Kirkland brand if you have a membership or know a friend or family member who does. They sell large packs in capsule form of 2000 IU per capsule with 600 capsules in each bottle. Currently if in stock they are allowing two packs per customer.
Bless your heart, John..this is, as you say, the major failing in Weatern Health Care.
Thanks so much for all you do, including the download demo. I am a "technology deficient" elder and you have saved me a lot of time!
BBC are so bias I stopped paying my TV licence.
You are so right. I stopped 15 + years ago. They kicked up a little back then but more and more people are doing it today. 😀
@blue dog we have to pay to watch live television, the fee goes to the BBC. All the other stations receive their income from advertising.
@blue dog We pay the BBC only, For that you don’t have to watch adverts. It’s about £150 per year I think ? It used to be a valued part of British society bringing us the Queen’s coronation, info during WW11 and reliable news. Today it’s a kind of tabloid television, incessant repeats to save money , packing out no news to sound like they’re saying something , constant property programs and constantly showing Auctions selling junk for pennies. The sooner they close the better.
The BBC news team have forgotten how to b journalists in my view, at least in the 80s they had a spine and there wasn’t such a ‘watch with mother’ dumbing down.
YEAH SO USELESSS
You are the hero we don’t deserve but we all need
Brilliant.
Still taking 4000iu each of D3 and K2, and 25 mg zinc daily, and constantly urge anyone who'll listen to do the same!
Thank you Winston, for reminding me to change my mask today.
I was delighted to overhear a conversation in the park last week where the only words I understood were "Holland and Barratt" and "1000 units". So pleased to hear that the news is spreading across our asian communities.
Absence of urgency seems to have been a frequently-occurring factor in this pandemic.
Yes, no wonder people report anxiety, on top of all the financial and emotional pressure we seem to be ahead of those who govern us, most of the time, and - sometimes - we feel ahead of our scientists: eg masks.
Is the NZ succcess partly due to the virus arriving during their summer? I think that the NZ people enjoy more outdoor time then is typical in the US.
There is no urgency if you want a lot of sick and panicked people so they will take the vaccines 💉💉💰💰💰
@@snowbird6855 im not worried about the vaccine as much as im worried about the covid deniers.
@@dharmacharinipasadanandi7110 I dont see any sar-cov2 deniers here, i see people who know now that this virus is not so deadly as it made out to be, and with drug treatment like Ivermectin , the death rate would not even worth talking about.
Because millions where dying before this virus.
As a scientist myself (albeit physics), I have a very negative reaction to politicians who say "follow the science" when they haven't a clue as to how to sort out differences of opinion between scientists. We scientists disagree with one another all the time. That is how knowledge advances. When making government policy, there is no substitute for intellectual honesty.

I share your frustration. Thank you for making me aware of vitamin D. I am spreading the word to the people I know.
These same “expert” panels probably still think more research is needed to determine if gravity makes things fall to the ground.
Well, strictly speaking, objects are attracted to each other, dependent on their mass, so with a falling apple, the Earth and apple are actually 'falling' towards each other. The Earth moving by a finite amount ;-)
I thought it was the Great Turtle (on whose back the world is resting) taking a sharp intake of breath? Could be wrong, read it on twitter though.
Halley well done that man/woman 🍻

I have tried to get the word out about Vitamin D, to my friends with darker skin. They go immediately into defense mode, and think I'm being racist. I'm done trying to get them to stay healthier. I'll have to pray for them, because they will not listen. I'm in the US.
IGNORANCE IS BLISS TO BLACKS.
Many do listen and I'm sure Dr. Campbell has saved some lives.
@@theeggtimertictic1136 not really most prefer to listen to gangsta rap.
@@esecallum Well then the Gangstas need to rap about Vitamin D 😁
@@theeggtimertictic1136 They think vit D is rascist
Actually the "Australian" professor who led this study is in fact Finnish (at least ethnically) given her name. I bet this is one reason she was interested in the matter.
All the Scandinavians, so far North, understand better than the rest of humanity how deadly our high latitude Vit☀D/Immune Hormone Deficiencies can be! (Australia, not so much.)
They understand that they need winter SUPPLEMENTATION. They should focus on how much more critical it is for their obese/diabetic, Elder & Melanated/often scarved Immigrants!
The Scandinavian nations have spent the past ten years raising the vitamin d levels of their populations by food supplementation. Look at the covid figures for Norway and Finland and ask why they are so different from Scotland and Lithuania
I wish the database they used didn't ignore BMI!
People with high BMIs have highest deficiency rates because ☀D is FAT SOLUBLE, is stored rather than free flowing and is depleted much faster by lipids, too.
@@melodyprojekt Exactly!🤗
*It's a deficient immune system over-reaction disease!*
But as a competitively🚴fit TBI survivor, (20yr ago) first prescribed carbamazepine(Tegratol™) for acquired epilepsy, who's specific but UNINFORMED😛DRUG DEPLETION led to ☀D-deficiency which quickly led to obesity & depression that only deepened the deficiency in a decending death cycle....
I've since learned both that my own problem, and for deficiencies in general, that comorbidities don't block OPTIMAL IMMUNE HEALTH!
*Dosage is the only issue.*
As an obese person I can personally testify as to anyone's ability to acquire high enough blood levels 40-60ng/ml.
🎉I have now reached an OPTIMAL 54ng/ml
[135nmol/L] 🎉🎉YAY!🎉🎉
But, my dosage had to be VERY HIGH to get over the drug depletion, fat depletion & storage levels, first. (Far above what our best, well-trained/propagandized caregivers like Campbell are comfortable with😛) Every comorbid patient simply needs to understand their own ☀D issues and take a sufficiently high dosage to overcome them! vitamindwiki.com has tons of helpful research to peruse!
My initial wonderful, but lowish prescription of 200,000IU over a too long month PRELOADING, then daily 5,000IU only got me to a bare, still unsafe 'sufficiency' of 30ng/ml [75nmol/L]
Yet no more cold/flu🤗 DEPRESSION🤗
Body pains! 🎉Woohoo!
🎉Stopped gaining in 3 years since!🎉
Then pandemic Covid, much reading of research only to realize continued danger, I first doubled dose to 10,000IU, then soon upped to 25,000IU for a month, then dropped back to 10,000IU every day. I now hope to settle at a higher 70-80ng/ml to ease my weightloss plan! (K2, Magnesium, Zinc also.) Autoimmune sufferers go very high, also! (🤔Perhaps 'long Covid' is in that category as 'Mast Cell' and should push their levels very far up???)
*Thinner Elders can do similar, first treat ☀D-deficiencies with preloading doses and follow healthy, ImmuneNerd Fauci's lead with 6,000IU/day. But if obese/diabetic or other comorbidities they may need much higher!
[Skintone has no dosage effect in oral/injectable, only natural UVB☀.]
Anyone with our CovidComorbidities which are all simply☀D-deficiencies! can raise their levels to safety with mega-pre-loading doses (quickly for Covid-prevention) followed by sufficiently high maintenance doses. Digestive/liver/kidney issues may need higher form prescription injectables to bypass those dysfunctional organs.
*Obese/diabetic 2-3X standard high dosing depending on BMI fat!
EVERYONE can get to optimal immune health & complete Covid safety from serious disease, pneumonia or the inflammatory cytokine storms! NO ONE SHOULD BE DYING!
*If no test possible? No study showed hypercalcemia risk with short term mega-doses or up to 10,000IU/day!*
If already fighting kidney stones, ask your caregiver if K2 would work for you.
No risk of hypercalcemia till above 150ng/ml [375nmol/L]
Vit K2 prevents hypercalcemia and completely safe except for with a couple of meds with warnings!
I am also dumbfounded by the lack of health and government agencies response to this body of evidence.
Research links vitamin D levels to sleep quality. In fact, several studies associate low levels of vitamin D in your blood to a higher risk of sleep disturbances, poorer sleep quality and reduced sleep duration👏
I had sleep problems for 5 years with menopause. I’ve been taking vitamin d3 for 3 months because I don’t want covid and now I am sleeping all night versus getting 3-4 hours of broken up sleep.
Well, I have a very good level of vitamin D (according to my bone doctor), yet my sleep is not good. Maybe though it’s because I worry about the decisions reached by this looney government about mixing up to three households over five days at Christmas!? Enough to keep any sane soul wide awake!!
@@ruralqueen1568 Oestrogen was the only thing that worked for me - without it I am just far too hot to sleep!
@@jenniferbate9682 Do what you feel OK with. We're having daughter and kids over but then we've never stopped doing so.
@@jenniferbate9682 Yes I agree, the stress of all this didn’t help my sleep issue either. Nothing has changed in my life besides all the supplements I started taking so I attribute it to that and so thankful. Hope you get some good sleep soon. P.s we all have to decide for ourselves but we get together every Sunday and all holidays with our children. So far, so good. I have them all taking the same supplements.
“We don’t get emotional on this channel.” LOL.
I’ve been supplementing 4K IUs D daily since February. My November labs show me at 50. My doctor told me to continue supplementing at the same dosage.
@Rolling On Tens. , what level are you aiming for? My doctor is satisfied with my level and looking to maintain but not raise me. What are your thoughts?
@Rolling On Tens. , I’m in the US.
I can also sence your frustration dr Campbell the best way is for viewers to tell family and freinds and pass on the advice about vitimin d I had an email from the doctor in in India as we wrote about lack of public information on vitimin d that was about 4 months ago nothing has changed stay safe all
John you are the master of understatement regarding the statement
that more research is needed. And several of your observations bring a laugh in this.
like your candid and straight forward statements
Queen Mary University in London has started a (6 month I believe) vitamin D study.
Do you know, is that study linked to sars cov2 research or something else?
@@Rose-vs5jd Yes it is - "Trial of Vitamin D to Reduce Risk and Severity of COVID-19 and Other Acute Respiratory Infections (CORONAVIT)", clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04579640, results due May 2020.
Also hoping for some slightly quicker data from a French intervention-at-hospital trial - clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04344041
Why? The evidence already exists!
Appreciated thanks. Meanwhile I'll keep my Vitamin D3 at the ready because I'm already convinced that it is beneficial.

"Pay walls"; for those who don't know that's what journals charge for copies of articles they've published. The researchers don't receive any of that money. Also, if you get in touch with the researchers they'll usually be delighted to send a copy for free.
P.S. I still find myself trying to scroll up or down whatever John's reading. 🤷♀️😊
When I was studying I found I could get loads of info/research from USA unies and colleges ....... but UK - hopeless. Very protective

Why on earth are they so hesitant to approve vitamin D? It’s actually so mind blowing that it’s genuinely embarrassing. I’ll keep taking my vitamin D tablets while they sit there twiddling their thumbs about whether to make it public knowledge or not...
I don't think they like the fact that people of European ancestry have evolved to suit the climate and the implication that people from other parts of the world are less suited to living here. Very touchy subject these days as I'm sure you've noticed. Personally I think it's more racist to allow people to die needlessly, but then that's just me.
I agree it is shocking . Its because there is no money in vit D it is so cheap.
It is because in the 1950s they got very enthusiastic about vitamin d, then there were some cases of children with high blood calcium levels, which they attributed to vitamin d supplementation. It turned out it was not the supplementation that caused it but by then all medical schools where teaching that vitamin d was easy to overdose on, and that mind set has stuck. I have not met an endocrine doctor who does not take vitamin d.
@@petef1273 Surely nobody in the right mind would think that too much of anything in general is good for you. I guess that's why we have videos like this and well informed people for those who seek to better themselves.
@@ChrisHughes89 Firstly we only know what is too much because of the work done between then and now. Secondly they did not give them too much they saw a false causality. The saw an effect (high blood calcium levels in some individuals) and thought it was caused by what they had done (given them vitamin d). Given the toxic effects of vitamin d are high blood calcium levels then it appears reasonable. Except they were not at toxic levels of vitamin d. By the time it was found out a culture of caution had developed especially in the UK. That is why the RDA is set so low and almost nothing in the UK contained added vitamin d until a few years ago.
Thanks mate. Because of your videos I’ve been on vitamin d for about 6-8 weeks now, so has my wife, so have my parents (in their 80s). You are making a difference
I love your videos Dr.John. Thanks for all your hard work, your caring and your passion. Your clear messaging has made a huge difference in my life.

Hands down, Dr. Campbell you are just the very best source for medical information concerning prevention and Tx of COVID 19. I have been following you since early 2020. My husband is a retired MD in the US and he really enjoys your video’s. Both of us think you are great. Keep up the good work. Obviously, you are swimming upstream of the bureaucracy, who are so behind like a dogs tail!
and yet Hancock dismissed vitamin d just weeks ago 🤔
policy is to deny deny deny..
Hancock is a glove puppet.
"To come along", lol. You are wonderful!
Been taking vitamin D with K2 and a couple of other vitamins since you first mentioned it way back. I'm asthmatic and been on a preventer inhaler for years. I no longer take my inhaler and think it's Vitamin D that's the reason I no longer need it. Before that I was wheezy if I missed one or two doses, now I'm fine without it. Thank you
Dr. John, you are a STAR - love your highly informative videos and love your acerbic wit. Thanks for getting us on vitamin D back in April!
I’m a white woman living in Michigan and I was low in vitamin d3=29, then started taking supplements regularly after watching this channel - had my vit d3 tested yesterday and I am at 41
Hi I just wanted to say I have read that being overweight causes low vitamin D as the fat cells get in the way, this is another good reason for me to keep on losing the pounds, and take higher dose of vitamin D
Thank you Mr Campbell. I sure hope Mr. Chappell who chastised me yesterday for alluding to this issue sees and hears this video.
I had a similar problem, and I hope the same.
New to your channel Dr John, I have binged your videos, fantastic work and thank you
Thank goodness for your channel. I live in Canada, and it is shameful how the mainstream media has been absolutely silent on the benefits of vitamin D in the winter, especially for darker-skinned Canadians. I read the BBC news piece mention here, and I wondered if Dr. Campbell would comment it. I am glad he did.
Melanin hinders the body from absorbing vitamin D from the sun, that’s why we need more of it
This video contains the strongest message I have yet to see you deliver, Dr John. Keep it up! **applause**
lol the conclusion is more research is needed, but we will not do it...
Health lobbyist DECIDERS will block those studies to protect profits.
The NHS costs the government a lot of money each year. Surely someone in public office would have the common sense and the power to commission a study on Vitamin D as a preventative and also in high dosage as a curative! Write to your MP
I wonder if Dr. John has ever considered that the "insufficient evidence" factor may be driven by monied interests? There is absolutely no point in any private organization spending money to provide evidence that there is any medical benefit to taking any substance for which they do not have intellectual property rights. This rules out any private funding for all naturally occurring substances, that is, vitamins, minerals and substances produced by living organisms (plants, fungi, bacteria etc.).
On the other hand it would be well within the interests of drug companies to fund research to cast doubt on the safety and efficacy of natural substances. Food for thought!
@@asearchie Research muddying has occurred, and very recently! When extremely expensive Remdesivir™ was readying release, research shenanigans at Boston U. were carefully designed to flamboyantly diss cheap hydroxychloroquine, which saves ⅓ at normal-but-untested🤔 doses as a ☠KILLER☠ at 10X overdoses! the same day Remdesivir™ was released as shortening hospital stays by perhaps one day but not saving lives at all!
And hush, SHUSH! Keep it quiet, everyone! but just 2 weeks later the hydroxychloroquine paper was sneakily recalled! No explanation! No fanfare!
Also, the best known absolute Covid death preventing Vit☀D/Immune System Pro-Hormone! Of All is barely studied, and NEVER at the bloodlevels that prevent Covid! (At least 40ng/ml [100nmol/L]
☀D RDA's are kept to immune-useless minimums by drug lobbyists!
Doctors trained to fear extremely rare hypercalcemia, that never, ever appears until bloodlevels reach extremely rare 150ng/ml and is safely preventable with Vit K2! So even our good Dr. Campbell is uncomfortable with a standard 4,000IU/day for healthy/THIN Youngers, much less the 10,000-30,000IU needed by most obese or diabetic!

A very Warm Welcome Doc 😀
Another clear, well presented understandable talk. Thanks again John.
Thank you Dr Campbell. You are doing a great job by analysing latest research and disseminating it to public.
I'm a senior in California. My doctor has been routinely testing her patient's vit d levels for last 11 years. She says it's because most of her patients are deficient. I had my first vit d test about 10 years ago and discovered you want a vit d level more than 50 but less than 75. My vit d test 10 years ago was 45 --too low-so I began taking 10,000IU a day and got re-tested 6 months later and it was then 89.9. Too high but not toxic. So I dropped down to 4,000 IU a day. I get re-tested every year and my level is usually around 70-74.
Since pandemic I am on 6,000 IU a day + vit k and vit c and zinc. I read Dr Fauci takes 6,000 IU a day! My vit d test last may was 76. The last flu I had was in 1999 and since 1999 I have only had about 3 colds. Adults over age 60 can not make much vit d from the sun and if you are overweight you make less vit d than those of normal weight-no matter what your age. So EVERYONE needs to get a vit d test and get your number above 50 but under 80.
John, I feel your pain. Fellow US doctors strongly resist the possibility of Vit Ds role in prevention / minimizing negative outcomes because the CDC doesn’t recommend it. Although they start patients on it when admitted and do not take pre treatment levels. I’ve sent letters and papers to our local health committees and associations and am ignored. The director of one, sits on the board of another. They say the same robotic mantra, “ we act in accordance to the CDC guidelines” which gives no prophylactic recommendations or outpatient therapeutic options. My 24 years and a biomedical scientist and physician means nothing to these political machines.
They will set themselves up to be sued if they don't follow CDC recommendations. You will know the pressure they face.
@@glynnwright1699 in order to sue a doctor for malpractice, you’d first have to have harm. Vit D is not harmful and is over the counter (no need for Rx by a physician). Doctors continue to learn a great deal after their diplomas are handed out and that’s a good thing because medicine is every changing. Waiting for further studies that aren’t going to happens due to lack of funding, governmental or privately owned companies ? And they science isn’t political...
Thank you for the update.
Thank you Dr. Campbell, excellent video. Do you get the feeling sir, that somewhere at Public Health England, they are still debating the link between Vitamin C and scurvy and that the papers all end with 'more research is needed'?
Another fantastic video. Thx
Just like always 👏
New rule "I take vitamin D because I am smarter than my government".
I am very impressed with your dedication to these videos. I am more impressed that your shirts are always perfectly pressed.
Well done John as usual you are on the ball
So frustrating! My 96 yr old elderly friend in a senior’s home is not taking vitamin D. She never heard that it is beneficial to the immune system. There is now an outbreak at her facility. I have asked her to start taking vitamin D. How disgraceful that our own public health departments haven’t recommended this.
Thanks Dr John. Been doing vit D supplements for years so all good with that but recently had to go to my GP for some other stuff and a blood test was required so I asked if they could check my vitamin D levels .. completely dismissive, no interest in adding that check onto what was probably a bunch of other stuff they had to do. Sigh. On the positive side. Went to collect a package from a Lakeland plastic store in Stratford upon Avon and despite a chilly day they had the sliding double doors locked open. WooHoo!. I commented to the lady that was greeting people and she agreed it was good but said it was painful as they had had to suffer the horrendous singing of a terrible busker for 3 hours... life is full of Ying and Yang.
Yup. My doctor, also . Sigh. I am passing your Word. Willing to purchase for those who cannot afford.
Thank you Dr Campbell for giving you time and knowledge , I am very grateful
I just came to hear ur voice and look how u do
Man i love ur vids
Cause i know i will find what i want in them
I am so pleased that a doctor is taking notice of the lack of D3 for those of us in regions without enough sunshine to make our own. For a couple of years I have been taking 5000iu of D3 with K2 & K1, with vitamin A from the alfalfa the D3 & K2 are suspended in, to balance the D3 and remove the danger of vitamin D toxicity. Since reading an ebook by Jeff T Bowles, I have used myself as a guinea pig and have taken much higher doses, I got up to 100,000iu for a few days and have reduced down to 70,000iu, which has made me feel better than I remember at the age of 62. I feel quite bulletproof against Covid on this high dose. Vitamin D3 is actually a repair hormone, not a vitamin per se. The piffling dose of 400iu came into being in the 1930s when the US pharmaceutical industry started losing profits to vitamin D supplementation, after it had been identified as the remedy for rickets, and many other diseases. It made me so angry when it was said that Covid 19 was a racist disease, which was patently ridiculous. People with darker skin chose to live in northern countries because they could make a better living here, but with the piffling amount of sunshine in northerly latitudes, these poor people have been physically unable to convert vitamin D from the sun, even if it was warm enough to expose their skin to it. I am a Conservative but I have been very disappointed in Matt Hancock's ability to deal with this pandemic, particularly as he has had no healthcare training and was thrilled by the announcement that vitamin D3 could now be prescribed to patients, which didn't last long when it turned out that this was in the negligible dose of 400iu or 10mcg. I am a kinesiologist, and nutrition was an important part of our training, and our treatment of our patients. Vitamin D3 supplementation in high doses with vitamin K2 & A, is also vital for multiple sclerosis and lupus patients, amongst others. I get mine from a small British company, www.vitacure.co.uk. Not sure if I am allowed to mention them, but they are very good and not expensive.
it is a hormone...that's a fact, a VERY important hormone
Vit D deficiency goes up, virus spreads faster... (gov insists virus is getting worse) also vit D reduces effect of covid, not prevents it.
You have it basically spot on correct. The BBC should be promoting vitamin D3 It has the potential to save many lives.
There’s evidence to suggest that it can indeed prevent it too. but guess what?? More research is needed.
Cwtches to you John from South Wales, the original one. Been listening since March 2020 x
What can I say Dr John but thank you for all the work you put in to help people like us .God bless you and your family .Keep safe.
Thanks, Doc. Another good one! BTW, your emotionalism showed the core of who you are. No apologies needed! Pity the planet doesn't have YOU as one of the pandemic managers. You'd have surely made a huge difference. Keep well and safe.
5000iu per day, at least 1000iu per day
I'm always scared to take too high.
The MD on medcram takes 5000 units per day, up from 2000 earlier

15,000 iu per day could possibly be too much, but you would have to take it for months. Getting your blood level checked is best, but absent that 5000 iu per day is perfectly safe unless you have one of the rare Vitamin D accumulation diseases. You want a blood level of 40-50 ng/ml, according to the American Endocrine Society. I'm pretty sure Dr. John is not taking enough.
@@guygrotke7476 my levels are 76.8nm/l so really happy with that. I'm taking 3000iu at the minute and wondering if I should be taking K2 also? X
@Rolling On Tens. this was before I started taking the supplements too...I paid private to have my levels checked. Xx
Thank you for the two books Dr. Campbell. They were both stimulating.
Thank you Dr John for you conscientious and caring help in providing good health information to us. You provide a great service to us all. I have been following your videos throughout this last 9 months during the covid-19 pandemic with much interest and good learning. Many you and your wife and family have a blessed, joyful and healthy Christmas and a wonderful 2021.

Thank you for that, Dennis. Very useful information.
Thank you Dennis
We (most) also don't work in the field any more. Factors, offices etc
Well done, John, for taking this up today. As soon as I heard this news report, i knew you would have to say something. Haven't these committees been reading the journals and the multitude of reports which show the efficacy of vitamin D3 in the current pandemic? I'm gobsmacked!
Thank you for all your good info! Follow the science!
"One of these big doctor types". Talk about damning with faint praise.......
Goodness me, I share your frustrations. X have a good evening. Love from tier 3, south London.
I'm really glad that you have responded to the nonsense in the news today. It was repeated on LBC. I'm sharing this video with others that I've shared to family so they may see it. (The BBC are the pits mind. Like many others I cancelled my licence and have never looked back!)
Thank you for the “cheat sheet “ on downloading the textbooks!
