- Does Vitamin D help with Immunity? | Vitamin D and Covid
Hopefully, YT does not take this video down, as it's all based on medical studies. However, if they keep doing this, I will have to upload my videos to a different website.
Mentioned Video:
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) and Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) and Calcitriol

So what does not having enough vitamin D have to do with COVID? And IF insufficient vitamin D levels CAUSE more severe disease, why is that? Well, I have to first clarify that it's not proven that insufficient vitamin D levels lead to worse outcomes. But while it hasn’t been proven, it also certainly hasn’t been disproven. And there is more and more compelling evidence suggesting that lower levels lead to worse outcomes.
And there’s no question that vitamin D plays an important role in our immune system. More and more studies are coming out that are sorting out its exact role in this capacity. But the link between insufficient vitamin D status and the risk of certain infections remains cloudy. For example, in 2017, a meta-analysis study consisted of 25 separate randomized trials with about 11,000 patients in total, evaluating the incidence of acute respiratory disease.
Vitamin D supplementation reduced the percentage of patients experiencing an acute respiratory tract infection. The incidence of URTI in the vitamin D group was 40.3%, compared to 42.2% in the placebo group. In a subgroup analysis, vitamin D supplementation was most effective in patients with less than 10 ng/mL and those treated daily or weekly with smaller doses instead of a huge single dose.
The takeaway from this meta-analysis study is that being vitamin d deficient probably makes people more prone to getting upper respiratory infections and should take supplemental vitamin D. But people who have low levels should be taking supplemental vitamin D regardless. Vitamin D has major effects on nearly all our immune system cells, including dendritic cells, macrophages, and T and B lymphocytes. These immune cells have a receptor that binds to vitamin D, called the vitamin D receptor, or VDR.
Here are some questions we still need answers to:
1) what level of vitamin D is adequate to protect against or minimize the impact of COVID?
2) What level of vitamin D is considered too high
3) should more and more people get their vitamin D levels checked, especially during this pandemic, when fewer and fewer people are physically going to the doctor?
4) should people just supplement themselves? If so, how much?
These are all tough questions to answer, mainly because we won’t have RCT results for vitamin D anytime soon. However, given that low dose vitamin D is pretty darn safe, it seems quite reasonable for people to take a low dose supplement, especially if they think they might not be getting enough from sunlight or their diet. Of course, ideally, you want to have a discussion with your doctor if possible.
A common question is, How much Vitamin D should I take a day?
Personally, I take 1,000 IU per day. I know that I’m not going to run anywhere near toxic levels of vitamin D with that dose, while at the same time, I know that I won’t be vitamin D deficient.

I take D3 with K2 and has helped me greatly with a lot of health issues, just saying about myself. Everyone should do their own research. God bless✌❤
Oh absolutely! K2 is one underrated vitamin for bone health and for the overall health of the skeletal system.
Agree 100%! I really don't understand why they don't talk more about needing to take K2 with Vitamin D!!!??
I am a doctor working in India, and I find your video and subjects interesting, contemporary, and refreshes and adds on to my knowledge. Kudos Doc, keep it up. Waiting list more topics.
Check dr. Biswaroop and what he is doing just with the D.I.P diet for (D-isciplined and I-ntelligent P-eople). no medicine, no suplements, just food (fruits+vegetables, and all other food but no meat and diary products) and there are many testimonials of people who were cured even from so.called Covid (in 3 days with his liquid Flu diet)
@@zoran6126 Thank you. For young people this works. For older people or those with poor immune systems (from poor diets like the ones most ppl eat) those people actually do need high quality supplements. Dr Eric Berg is a good place to start. And thanks again for the DIP diet. Intelligent people do not use steroids and antibiotics for a mere virus when there is a vast healing in high quality foods.
This doc sounds as if he knows what he’s talking about. Very educational . The information he shares just flows from him like water flowing from a tap.
One more comment; my last 4 years I worked in intense mental health. Those who were deficient consistently had poor self image, unexplained depression, and negativism. Those who agreed to supplementing with Vitamin D had startling recoveries! Ty again.
Sunlight promotes Serotonin secretion and helps in mental health
Ever since I found this channel a month and a half ago, my love for medicine has been given a turbo boost. Thank you
There is a reason why the flu is worse in winter when we get less sun and so less Vitamin D. This is a very good video.
Correlation does not demonstrate causation. There are multiple known factors in seasonal flu.
the other one to watch is Dr John Campbell...his Vit D vids..
@@flagmichael That might be true; for this asthmatic, vitamin D is key to my pulmonary health. I've been to hell and back due to a long term, significant vitamin D deficiency. Let me put it to you this way--the NIH has a checklist of the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. I hit 9/10. All better now thank you due to 2,000 IUs of vitamin D every day.
It also explains why dark skinned people have, by far, the highest covid (and all flu's and viruses) death rates. People with dark skin have a harder time producing vit. D.
Tropical countries have plenty sunlight all year....
Why do we have more infectious Diseases than the colder western countries? 🙄
Africa is sunny, they are dying of TB, Ebola, Swine flu, you name it...
Shouldn't we have a robust immunity cuz of the sun?
Soo your point of "more flu cases in winter cuz of less sunlight" doesnt hold up
People need to start fighting back against UA-cam censorship.
YT is not an evil platform - the problem is that they use automated screening of videos to decide whether one is good or bad. I am not happy with the results but ending censorship altogether would turn this into a sewer in weeks. It would be better if there were different rooms with different standards but no matter how we look at it there is no simple solution to it all.
@@flagmichael I do understand what you are saying. I also dislike how the internet is being abused. But as the saying goes, I think censorship is a slippery slope. If something is censored and it happens to be the truth, then nobody gets a chance to consider it. If that same something is not censored then people will at least be able to consider it. In other words, too much power in the hands of a few seems more dangerous to me than the possibility of offending or confusing those who cannot tease out the wheat from the chaff.
@@RussCR5187 Agreed - but I don't have any plan in view for correcting it.
Notice how after last week's executive order, those videos that were previously removed due to supposed TOS violations are all of a sudden back up ? Same thing happened on Dr Seheult's youtube covid-19 channel.
No, we need to fight back at the crazies and idiots who posts as if they mow something when in fact they don't. There is dangerous stuff being posted by whackjobs here and they need censoring before people die. Trouble is - once you state where do you stop?
I can't think of a rational reason to remove a video of a man discussing scientific studies. For God's sake, this is one of the good uses of technology.
What happened?
scott goodman: the problem comes in when video producers claiming to be doctors etc. can not nor will be verified. For instance, I'm a rocket scientist and have been to the moon-lol.
YT sucks
Dr. Hansen is easily verified
Its what the technology was meant for. It has been corrupted by people who are intent on destroying and controlling others.
More doctors should care to educate us the way you do:
1. Without their prescription and hidden “selling points”; 🤥
2. Without us having to pay top dollar for unnecessary medical consultations; 🤑
3. Without putting our lives at risk by requiring unnecessary medical consultations during a global pandemic! 😷
4. Without expecting us to always know which and when to ask the “right questions”; 🤔
5. Without expecting us to know which Google link is the “bull’s eye” credible source; 🥵
6. Without expecting us to trust media and their politicized “contaminated” doctors! 😡
7. Before we’re on the verge of dying! 🤢🤮🤒🤕😑
I’ve learned so much from you in just a few of your videos!
Thanks SOOO very much!!!
You couldn't be more right!
I pray this kind doctor remains true to his current heartset--avoiding corruption and cynicism.
I wish that I could find such in my physicians. Surely it's a difficult path and journey.
When you are critically ill it is too late. Better to get D levels up now.

Is that D3 ?
@@janicelichtenberg6981 yes Its D3, Which is animal based. D2 is plant based and that is not the ones we need.
@@janicelichtenberg6981 d3 and d2. watch all videos. He is as clear as it gets!
Thats what i did. I bulked up before I actually got the disease from my boss. I am glad i did so. 😅
Mike Hansen is my type of doctor, precise, strongly and strictly scientific, reference based, fluent in his videos. I am sure he is a star in the hospital. greetings from Sweden.
Thanks for not dumbing it down. Keep up the high quality content. We really appreciate you taking the time to get this level of detailed info out to those who wouldn’t otherwise have access.
Covid 19
1. Risks of COVID are vastly overstated
2. Renowned doctors and epidemiologists criticize the COVID panic
3. SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated, and RT-PCR tests are not appropriate diagnostic tools
4. “Flattening the curve” was unjustified
5. Lockdowns are entirely ineffective
6. Lockdowns are extremely harmful
7. Lockdowns were based on politics, not science
8. Mask-wearing is ineffective and harmful
9. The COVID computer models were extremely inaccurate
10. Media sources distorted and exaggerated information
11. The public substantially overestimate their risks from COVID
12. Nocebo effect: Fear as a cause of COVID symptoms
13. Non-viral causes of “COVID” symptoms
14. Effective treatments exist
15. Lockdowns have been legally challenged (US)
Summary
• Scientific evidence and statistics clearly demonstrate that masking, social distancing, and lockdowns are completely ineffective at decreasing infection and mortality and have dire adverse effects - severe psychological deterioration (especially in children), high suicide rates, economic collapse and destruction of small businesses, unprecedented expansion of government oppression, censorship, and enforced homogenity of thought.
• Lockdowns were initially justified by the claimed need to “flatten the curve” to prevent overloading of ICU ventilator capacity, but ICUs were not overloaded. Ventilators were largely inappropriate and caused extreme levels of unnecessary deaths compared to milder treatments. The justification for the lockdowns has since shifted to “reducing new cases”, with no regard for the actual danger they represent, or harmful effects of these measures.
• Unlimited lockdowns and compulsory masking mandates which bypass existing legal structures are historically unprecedented. To avoid cognitive dissonance, the general public assumes that the threat of COVID must be proportional to the extreme nature of these measures.
• Implementation of lockdowns was motivated by political posturing and misinformation, not evidence and public health. The word “science” has been taken to mean “government mandate”, and has been used to slander and suppress evidence-based narratives. The general public has neither the means nor the motivation to evaluate the scientific evidence, and must accept the declarations of non-scientist politicians and politicized scientists, whose voices are amplified by media outlets.
• Media outlets manipulated and distorted information to support a narrative of fear, dependency, and self-righteousness. As a result, polls show that people enormously overestimate their risk of dying from COVID.
• Numerous top experts (medical doctors, professors) have publicly spoken out against the dominant COVID narratives and the government responses to it. Even by conservative estimates, lockdowns caused more deaths than were attributed to COVID.
• COVID RT-PCR tests do not actually test against viral isolates, and despite their widespread use are not diagnostic tests, but laboratory tools for amplifying DNA fragments. Many scientists have severely criticized their use.
• COVID is, at most, a minor threat to the world population - and at least, a statistical abstraction. Unprecedented and politically influenced rules for recording COVID-positive deaths artificially inflated death rates. More than half of COVID deaths occurred in nursing homes, and nearly all COVID deaths occurred in people with several other major comorbidities. Healthy people are not at risk. The age distribution of COVID deaths is the same as the normal age distribution of deaths; most COVID deaths occurred in people over 65 years old.
• Actual causes of respiratory death in “COVID hotspots”, most significantly air pollution, have been extensively recorded in the scientific literature but are completely absent from media narratives and political consideration.
• Safe and highly effective treatments, including natural non-pharmaceutical interventions which have been published in scientific journals, have not been widely utilized.
• The “pandemic” is a combination of pre-existing conditions relabeled as COVID, recent increases in environmental causes of respiratory disease, excess deaths due to inappropriate treatments, and fear and expectation producing or intensifying the actual symptoms of “COVID”.
• Constantly reading, hearing about, and internalizing the dominant disempowering fear-based narrative has been demonstrated to produce the actual expected symptoms of the disease through the nocebo effect.
• Dispelling the fear and questioning the narrative actually saves lives, while masking, social distancing, and lockdowns do not, and contribute to the deterioration of physical, psychological, and economic health.
• If we are to actually promote health and regeneration in our communities and the world, we must promote narratives that are based in evidence and wisdom, and focus on creative solutions that address all of the interconnected challenges we face today.
Your intelligence and your ability to break thing's down where it's so much easier to understand is absolutely mind blowing! I have the utmost respect for you! ❤ Thank you so much for all that you do! I'm definitely subscribed! 😀
This is so very informative. I just found you Dr. H, and have subscribed to be notified of all videos. I concur with the other comments...if UA-cam takes your videos down, upload them somewhere else and we will follow !!!
Great video Dr Mike. We need this important information provided from reputable sources. There is a high probability that it will save lives. This is a perfect video to share with your friends.
Thank you so much for all your knowledge and research that you are compiling into these short videos! Finally I have a reliable source, so I don't have to keep researching things myself! I'm on cloud 9 watching them and soaking up all the data!!! 🌤🌞😎🧠ℹ⚕👍🏼🎉
Keep up the good work!
May I say this; after intense work in corrections (dark environments, poor diets, high stress) as a RN, I observed 'miraculous recoveries' in those who supplemented with Vitamin D! One patient was hospitalized several times with no diagnosis except Vit D deficiency: he had respiratory symptoms (cough, low O2, malaise). He was able to afford supplements and made a full recovery. However, he would occasionally relapse and neglect his Vit D supplements for long periods; his symptoms would reappear! This was not an isolated incident: I observed these symptoms in many of my correctional patients. Also, those with fair skin and in particular, those with blue, green, or hazel eyes were most likely to have these symptoms. Also, African American patients also experienced the same. Sometimes they would also have unresolved/unexplained deep leg pain that didn't respond to pain relievers or stretching. I literally observed hundreds of patients over a period of 12 years. Let me also add that those with type 2 diabetes almost always had Vitamin/mineral deficiencies: supplements and diet education is a neccessary part of their maintenance and recovery of symptoms. Ty for your advice and sry for the long comment.
I imagine miners are even worse off. We are not burrowing creatures by nature.
@@flagmichael Or those inside submarines.
That's a very valuable insight based on actual observations. Thank you!

Wow I’ve been having leg pain as well. More like neuropathy and although I found relief via stretching and seeing a chiropractor, the pain would return 😱 Thank you so much for this information
Has YT been censoring your videos? I am really sorry to hear that. Your videos are one of the very best available on the topic now.
Great points. I will not ignore that when caring to my patients. Thank you. Peter

I'm practicing primary care in Chicago and have been checking vitamin d levels with the routine yearly labs. Universal insufficiency/deficiency in everyone not taking supplements.
♥️♥️
Glad YT didn't take it down! We need this reliable information to help make informed decisions concerning health. Keep up the great work Dr. Mike.
Why would this video be taken down by UA-cam? I really don't get it.
@@yengsabio5315 There's a nonsensical censorship policy in place. Videos are taken down because they touch on certain topics which UA-cam have decided are misinformation - even when the video was posted by a qualified doctor, and only talks about legitimate research.
Basically, they're idiots. The people who run YT know nothing about medicine, and clearly don't watch the videos they take down. MedCram posted a video partly about that, recently - look for one with *Academic Censorship* in the title.
Appreciate all your videos. Informative. Thank you!
Like the way you truly put things. And give understanding to others they don’t understand. Thank you Mike
I know, right? 😊
Excellent summation of Vitamin D and COVID. I've been taking VitD for years - knowing how integral this Vitamin is to bone health, but also respiratory health. Thank you for sharing the research behind this and the mechanisms within the body that rely on Vitamin D
I find it highly ironic that UA-cam are policing educational content like this, but allowing quackery like Soulvana to plaster their ads all over your content Dr Hansen.
BigHenFor How is UA-cam policing this content?
UA-cam aren't policing it, they are applying informational notifications to any videos related to COVID-19. That's reasonable and responsible.
@@NikBlackwell UA-cam is policing and taking many videos down without any notification. This is according to many UA-cam contributors including MedCram, Drbeen Medical Lectures and others.
@@NikBlackwell You are full of BS! UA-cam is censuring information relating vit D with COVID 19. Noboby can put a title including both words at the same time. This is anti-science and a clear bias. It's not UA-cam job to decide what is true or not, they have no expertise and they are not scientists. Preventing the population and governements to learn about this information is extremely costly and will lead to more deaths. They should be sued for that behavior.
After verification, I see that this rule is not aplied anymore. Probably UA-cam has finally gave up and realised the hard science behind Vit D and Covid link. The video depends about what you are saying about it. It must not be too in favor and remain limited in what you are saying.
Being a Hashimoto patient, I take 10000 IU D3 and 200 mcg K2 daily in the months of November, December and January. In Germany, those are the dark months. The rest of the year, I'm fine with 5000 IU D3 and 200 mcg K2 daily. Stay safe and good health to you all!
@15 1 My levels are fine. Considering that I am skin type II, living on the latitude of the border of Canada and me having Hashimoto, 10000 IU D3 taken on the three months of the darkest days of the year translate to 7.5 hours of sunshine if the bioavailability was 100%... which it isn't. I would agree with you if it was a mega-dose of 25000 IU or more. The body wouldn't synthesize that much even in summer. I believe it stops at 20000 IU. The huge dosage recommended by some "professionals" are indeed a waste and wrong.
Thanks Mike.. Your guidance is a big support to me.. Grateful to you..
My level was at 20 earlier this year, and I was advised to start a D3 supplement of 1000mgs/day. I bought it and took it once, then forgot as the Covid pandemic took over. I just dug the bottle out and took one! I'm going to stay on top of it this time and take it every day! Thanks for the great video as always👏
I have been on Vitamin D 50,000 units for three years. When my Vitamin D was checked it was -10.
I can tell if I forget to take my pill once a week, I feel tired and sluggish. I have been careful during the COVID-19, but I have not
Stayed at home. Grocery shopping, dinner at friends house, birthday parties and weddings. Even a family reunion with 50 people.
I have had cancer and do have heart disease. Low thyroid and Menieres Disease, for which I take Lipo Flavornoid. First attack was in 1977. I have had several attacks since and loss of hearing in my right ear. Thank you for this presentation. Very informative.
This was immense.
Another key factor in why Sweden may be doing well in their fight against covid.
4 years of university may not have gotten me in the right spot careerwise (not yet, more self application to come) but it made for an easy discerning for these research inquiries and limitations.

Excellent info dr..you're the best!
Life guards in Hawaii have levels around 70 ng/ml, and they never have toxicity. 4000 iu/day will raise your level by about 40 ng/ml. That's a pretty decent level with no danger of toxicity, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
Well presented and valuable. Thanks for your efforts in making information accessible.
P.S. YT does seem to be censoring academic debate.
Thank you for this. I’ve followed your videos for about 5 weeks now and was especially interested to hear what you had to say about vitamin D and it’s potential relevance to the current pandemic. Great information.

There is much to unpack here and do some further digging into the studies you site but it's wonderful to have someone who cares enough to give us a detailed synopsis of what kinds of serious response can occur and why. Also, fantastic review of past/current research on Vitamin D (your past video on Vitamin D illuminated differences between the D3, D2, D also extremely helpful).

Vitamin D “yes “ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 the sunlight for 20 minutes or more ok 👍👍👍
I'm blonde...I'll burn my skin and develop cancer if I get 20 minutes of sun
@@bilbobaggins4710 She's wrong. It's generally 10 minutes a day for those with fair skin. Much longer and you can burn. Time in the sun also depends on the latitude you are at and the sun's position in the sky. One can be in early morning and late afternoon/evening sun for a lot longer than in midday sun.
@@bilbobaggins4710
The midday sun gives you the best conversion to vitamin D. Just reduce your time to ten min for front and tem min for the back. You may need to start with less than that and work up to 10 min. Read Dr Zoltan Rona's book on vitamin D.
@@bilbobaggins4710 10-15 minuts
@The94GTC In June and July the sun at noon is perfect for making vit. D3; Start with 3 min at noon, then increase daily up to 1/2 hour once your skin gets tanned. Thus you resplenish your body with vit. D3 for winter.
Awesome video 👍 thanks!
Very well balanced presentation.
The most interesting content for me started at 8:10. The content before is very technical and the content after is much more accessible, if you don't have a science degree.
FINALLY! I am glad you talk about Vitamin D-3! However, you are a bit 'behind' on the lates Vitamin D-3 studies. YES!: Vitamin D DOES reduce the incidence of severe to critical impact in patients from COVID-19!
Great Exceptional information
I check Vit D levels on a routine basis at least in the last 10 years... It helps the body in so many ways... Main stream medicine is finally slowly!!! Waking up to actually look and investigate this kind of things
How can a lay person get their vit d levels checked?
Mainstream medicine has concluded that vitamin D is vital over a century ago. What are you on about it "finally slowly" investigating it?
@@OzixiThrill She means that a lot of doctors don't routinely check vitamin D levels. I unfortunately was a casualty of doctors who didn't check my D levels for over 20 years. Turns out I had a severe deficiency. One symptom was a sore hip. Got x-rayed, could not find anything. Turns out bone pain is one of the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. Hip pain went away after vitamin D supplementation.
Excellent information. I didn’t know vitamin D had such a connection to overall health. I take calcium with D3 for bone health and breast cancer survival.
Look up taking k2 with d3 to help with absorption.
@@cheekytitaable Vit K2 is for helping the Vit D NOT go to areas where Vit D supplementing is not needed and can even cause calcifications to appear; especially when supplementing with calcium but even without. Read up on it.
@@cheekytitaable K2 is not for better absorption, but for chasing the excess of calcium in soft conjunctive tissues, such as blood vessels, skin, cartilages and tendons. On bones and teeth it does the opposite, allows the fixation of calcium. It is important for brain, nervous system, pancreas, heart, and even the salivary glands. Do your homework on vitamin K2. Vitamin D3 is in fact a hormone implicated in more than 350 important functions in the body, including the regulation of the expression of a large amount of genes, including the immune response. Very important!
This was settled in the Nutritional supplement community years ago. Glad to see allopaths beginning to catch up.
Very useful. Thanks.
Thanks for all your videos .. I’m fascinated! Taking some vitamins D supplements now
Yes Doctor Mike Hansen very clear 👍👍🙏,.
Again an excellent vlog. With respect to the questions at the end: why not already start supplementing elderly and other people with low vit D? The risk of getting toxic levels of vit D is incredibly low. I think the societal benefits of this measure outweigh the ‘do nothing scenario’. I just do not understand why governments do not take this simple measure to make their populations more immune and resilient; even if scientific proof is still not available.
Thank you for the useful information . I really like your videos. Watching from Singapore.
Is Singapore promoting immune system boosting measures? I read that u guys have been doing great.
@@DieselPlays not really, all the thing that WHO recommended with extra precaution, what important is speedy action.
Thank you Dr Hansen I have a good feeling about you and trust what you are sharing God Bless
How are you doing today Michelle Green? It's really nice having you on here...I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many Levels. Trust, Communication, Loving, God fearing, Honoring, Understanding, Patience and Respecting Your Partner. So crucial to provide balance.
Very informative.
I watch all the vids! U are goid Doctor and extra ordinary!!
Great to see this, I think this issue is being suppressed by those in power for some reason, most likely because there's no money to be made in prevention, only in treatment with expensive drugs. Personally I have been supplementing with D3+K2 for years now, there are so many benefits when your D3+K2 are optimized.
I found the mention of calcitriol interesting. I have an elderly cat (age 20, we think) with kidney problems, common in older cats. He has been prescribed calcitriol daily by his veterinarian.
the real problem of establishing causality is the fact that Vitamin D Deficiency can be a marker for overall bad health, ppl that tend to supplement themselves tend to be health conscientious and most ppl don't supplement themselves with vitamin D. so Studies should give vitamin D or placebo randomly to two big groups of patients with vitamin D deficiency found randomly and wait for them to get a cold or COVID, Evaluate the Specific illnes course and severity and finally control for a ton of variables related to prognosis pre and post disease and that could be of enough potency.
Great sense of humor!!
thanks, Dr. Hanse, for your amazing, informartive
medical lectures about Vit.
D, i',m sure people will get
good benefits about this vit.
waiting for more videos.
Bless you , more power .
When i heard people with severe disease had low vitamin d levels, i started taking it months before i actually got the disease. My disease ended up being mild(thank god). I bulked up before it actually happened. 😅
Educative , and helpful
Omg 😳, my family thought I was crazy 😜 because I kept telling them we need to take vitamins like D and C because of the corona. I should be your assistant 🤩🤩🤩🤩.
Excellent topic. It’s important to recognize immune system regulation via serum vitamin D. Data from autoimmune disease suggest an internal concentration of 110 nmol/L is optimal for immunomodulation. This serum concentration In adults can be achieved by taking 5,000 IU/d.
Thanks 🙏🏽 Dr Mike
Dr. Mike you're amazing 👌👌😘
Great video! A few years ago my D3 was 12 (I never go in the sun due to skin cancer). After taking 4,000 D3 with K2 every day it is now 74 (I feel really good and I never get sick). I am thinking of decreasing to 2,000 (every other day) but after watching this video with Covid maybe I shouldn't reduce now. My friend who is a neurologist feels optimal D3 for Dementia/AZ is 70's.
I ordered D3 and K2 from Amazon last week, it makes sense.
Why are all these people moaning about this video being taken off You Tube when clearly it is here on You Tube?
Thanks Dr Mike.
I take Vitamin D, and I never knew any of this.
great info! yet distracting ads...
My experience with
vitamin D . Four years ago I slid off of a roof and shattered a leg . I started to take vit. D zink ,magnezium and vit. K2/MK7 to help heal my bones I am still taking all of them . In the last Four years I can say o have not had a cold or flue
Thanks Dr. Mike ☀️☀️☀️
An opinion comment before watching, from a citizen educating themselves on our immune system, both innate, adaptive, microbiome, viome, ect. Plus viewing our body from an engineering perspective, such as Input, Output, Transport or flow of information, Conversion or integration process of new inputs, plus the overall storage or structural framework from which these 4 aspects occur ( Eg virus = new input or new agent. Storage = Physical body or arena )
Vitamin D is an output that results from the input and conversion of UV light. Our system then manufactures anti microbial peptides, namely Cathelicidin's, which are deployed as part of the innate, or immediate response to a new input that poses a risk to fostering a systems disruption or imbalance. These peptides surround the membrane of a virus, for example, breaking down its system and allowing for its transportation out of the body. A balanced system would result in a balanced elimination of that which does not contribute to its own symbiotic functioning.
I believe that vitamin D has helped my immunity significantly since I started taking it a year ago. I've used sunblock for years and never supplemented with Vitamin D until this past year. My vitamin D levels were always very low in the past and I was always sick every winter with various viruses and infections. Since taking the Vitamin D supplement, I've found that I rarely get sick with viruses or infections anymore. This supplement has helped to improve my health better than either vitamin C or quercetin. I would recommend vitamin D to anyone trying to strengthen their immune system.
THANK YOU DOC MIKE
New subscriber here, great content, thank you! Can you do a video on sulforaphane?
Very interesting!
An interesting side-note is that people who started D3 supplements during the covid crises have found that their symptoms due to auto immune problems have significantly decreased.
I've known about this for a long time, having successfully reversed lupus, diagnosed 2 years ago. Vitamin D was one part of the cure.
@@gavinfoster9179 If you don't mind sharing your experience, what else did you do/take?
@@LibertyNotLicense There were so many supplements, I couldn't list them here and my body might have had different needs to another person's. However, in brief, I was diagnosed in December 2018 and better by May 2019. My approach was: a) Nutritional advice from The London Clinic of Nutrition, including anti-inflammatory diet and supplements to rebuild the gut barrier and support the liver. b) Work by an experienced Systematic Kinesiologist with a background in nutrution. c) Relaxation therapy like yoga, golf and meditation.
Blood tests identified several inflammatory indicators like high ferritin and high anion gap (covid triggers these too).
Other tests identified gut parasites including h-pylori which we used 'Toxaprevent' binders to eliminate (not antibiotics).
Kinesiologist identified a virus (probably Epstein Barr) as first priority. High levels of vit. C and other supplements (glutathione, I think?) for this. I then used intermittent fasting (Dr Valter Longo) to clear out old virus, despite significant weight loss due to the disease already.
Then we went on to deal with other priorities, ending up with taking Artemesia, a herb traditionally used in the treatment of malaria. (And what do doctors prescribe for lupus?...hydroxycholroquine!)
Straight after that, lesions cleared up completely, weight returned, hair grew back, and I gradually returned to a normal diet.
Any patient needs a good systematic kinesiologist to test what is required at each step of the way, determination to stick to the diet, support from close family, plus a decent budget for treatment and supplements. Since my experience, I've learnt of recoveries from many other severe chronic conditions. My wife is now qualifying as a systematic kinesiologist herself (hence the support I got), so I'm very fortunate.
@@gavinfoster9179 but you got to keep taking the high doses to keep it at bay ? i find what wrong with me i need to take a high dose a few times a month
Wow I gotta keep up with all that biological terminology. Soo interesting and you make it sound so simple haha
All I have to say is this. Ever since I started taking Vitamin D consistently I don’t remember the last time that I had an infection. No soar throat, no sinus infection, nothing. I used to get my yearly soar throat and sinus infection and the common cold. Now if I get anything it usually last 2-3 days and it’s mild enough that I can still workout.
Same as me.
Thank you so much. 💖
When I was young I kept getting bronchitis, like 16 or 17. I had walking pneumonia after. I also had blood pressure spikes. My doctor tested me an seen my vit d levels were at a 5. She said most docs don't look at that but I was showing symptoms of vid d deficiency. I haven't been sick since ive started taking d3. About 9 years.
how much UI did you take daily ?
