SACN vitamin D and health report
www.gov.uk/government/publica...
A reference nutrient intake (RNI) of 10 micrograms (400 units) of vitamin D per day, throughout the year, for everyone in the general population aged 4 years and older
The RNI and safe intakes were developed to ensure that the majority of the UK population has enough vitamin D to protect musculoskeletal health, all year round.
SACN did not take account of sunlight exposure in making recommendations because of the number and complexity of factors that affect skin synthesis of vitamin D.

Optimal Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D
It is advisable to increase vitamin D intake and have sensible sunlight exposure
Maintain serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D at least,
30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L)
and preferably
40-60 ng/mL (100-150 nmol/L)
Recommended dosage for vitamin D intake in individuals who are at risk for vitamin D
Deficiency (1,000 iu = 25 mcg)
Age, years Daily requirement Upper limit
Years Requirement
0 - 1 400 - 1,000 2,000
1 - 18 600 - 1,000 4,000
18 + 1500- 2000 10,000
Obese 4,000 - 6000 10,000
For deficiency 0 - 1 year
2000 IU/day or 50,000 IU/week
of vitamin D2 or D3 for at least 6 weeks
to achieve serum 25(OH)D more than 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L)
maintenance therapy of 400-1000 IU/d
For deficiency 1 - 18 years
2000 IU/day or 50,000 IU/week of vitamin D2 or D3 for at least 6 weeks
to achieve serum 25(OH)D more than 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L)
maintenance therapy of 600-1000 IU/d
For deficiency after 18 years
6000 IU/day or 50,000 IU/week
of vitamin D2 or D3 for 8 weeks
to achieve serum 25(OH)D more than 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L)
maintenance therapy of 1500 -2000 IU/d
Obese and malabsorptive patients
Dosage should be increased by 2-3 times
Respiratory Viral Infection and COVID-19
Outbreak of influenza infection is periodic and usually occurs during the wintertime at higher latitudes
but is sporadic throughout the year in the tropical area
Association between low level of serum 25(OH)D and
incidence and severity of respiratory tract infection in children and adults
A recent meta-analysis of 25 RCTs showed that supplementation of vitamin D2 or D3 can protect against the development of acute respiratory tract infection compared with placebo

COVID
Rate of symptomatic infection, morbidity and mortality observed
African American
Obesity
Worldwide on average approximately 40% of children and adults have circulating levels of 25(OH)D less than 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L)
It is therefore reasonable to institute as a standard of care to give at least one single dose of 50,000 of vitamin D to all COVID-19 patients as soon as possible after being hospitalized
Thanks Dr. Campbell I was following your lecture since the start of this pandemic. I am a pharmacist working in South Africa and I have been taking vitamin D3 2000iu daily. I tested positive for covid19 15 days ago. Never showed extreme signs and symptoms. Only losses of smell and test for couple of days. No cough, headache, fever, shortness of breath and so on. So I recommend for people to take it. I thank you for endeavors in this matter.
Have you recovered...i hope you are well
I'm taking 10,000iu daily
Good luck to you sir. Your beautiful country will bounce back.

There's no money in educating people about maintaining their health, but there's big money in treating people with drugs when they get sick.

You hit the nail on the head. It's more about making money than health.
Bingo!
Exactly
I think that's the case in America where it suits the insurance for people to be sick but in the UK the government needs us to be well so where not a drain on the NHS
Hello John. I would feel like a voice crying out in the wilderness if it weren’t for you. I’ve been following you since the very beginning- but rarely comment on UA-cam. But I am so grateful. I’m a science educator at the American museum of natural history and you just gave the descriptions I give of the skin pigments in the Hall of Human Origins. I was low on vitamin D and my beloved primary care doctor recommended it to me years ago. Someday when this is all over if you ever head to New York City you can count on me for a welcome to my beloved museum. Thank you again John. I’ve been so assisted by you thru this in New York City. Hooray for Northern England! Arlene Katz
I would love to see that!

Dr. John Campbell I need to find a way to send you contact information. I’m sure you will visit someday.
Dr. John Campbell I’m available on Facebook messenger. And I’m now following you on FB.
I'd love to see your museum too. You're the one next to Central Park?
I am black and obese. Fortunately for me, my vitamin D level is at 68 ng/ml. I’ve been taking 20,000 IUs each day.
Interesting, well done
What does IU mean in US TERMS? And what product is the best to buy? Here we have “NATURES MADE” Thank you for your help.
Mz Dee Mz Dee IU’s are international units. I’m not sure what the conversation is to mg. I’m sure it’s in Dr. Campbell’s videos. I use NOW brand of vitamin D3. I also take vitamin K2 with it to help calcium absorb into the bones and teeth rather than the blood vessels and organs.
TurboCMinusMinus yes I have. That’s why I take vitamin K2 to allow calcium to get absorbed into the bones and teeth and not the arteries and organs. I’m not taking it for the long term. It’s only to get my levels up. Go back and watch Dr. Campbell’s video when he mentions about vitamin D being absorb into fat cells before it gets into the bloodstream. When you have more fat on your body, you need to take a higher dosage.
Kathrin Turner Oh ok thank you so so much ❤️
i like to stay when i have time, but really like the rapid 'bottom line', so thanks again doctor

@@caribaez5711 Dr John is an academic. Say no more!!!!!
i have a disabled child so we see a lot of specialists, one of these specialists is a bone doctor and he gave my child vitimin D to take daily, what i found interesting is what he said about the upturn of children he see's now, all of whom are developing rickets because of the lack of playing outside, choosing to sit in front of the telly or game systems, and what have you.. The lack of Vit D, Seems to be a hidden problem that nobody really speaks about.

When I was a kid, my mother dosed my brother & I with cod liver oil. We did not really eat any fish, so I am really grateful for this, as nasty as it tasted at the time.
My Mom would give me Cod Liver Oil ! 🤢 🤦♂️😂
Thats because cods are horrible animals
It's still in use in Scandinavia -- at least in northern Norway when I last visited there. Shot glasses and a bottle of cod liver oil at a hotel breakfast buffet!

absolutely true!
why dont you tight fisted people send him a pound each. empty thanks are no use to him. he cant spend thanks.
I started taking vitamin D based on Dr Campbells COVID recommendation --- I wanted to be my best just in case. I was ASTOUNDED at how much better I felt after taking vitamin D for about three weeks! I must have been sooooooo deficient. I feel my best when I take 4000 ius a day --- I think that is a lot, but I feel really good on that dose. I think I have been deficient all my life. Thank you Dr. Campbell!
You and everyone else. Things have only gotten worse over the last 100 years but remember we had rickets before the 1918 Spanish Flu. Does Less Sun Mean More Disease? ua-cam.com/video/5tglP1YJdMc/v-deo.html
Susan Masson dr Campbell recommended 25mcg daily.
Same. I have been taking 5500 I.U. with 120 mcg K2 (MK7).

Repeat every 1-2 hours (8-16 times a day) as long as the pandemic lasts and until a safe vaccine or other cure is available. God is love. This helps. No cost. www.howtocallongodforhelp.com Healing can happen on different levels. We're not just physical beings. Consciousness, thought, and prayer is not well understood yet plays a major role in healing. We all have a name.

Look into foods high in Vitamin C (avoid harmful synthetic Vitamin C supplements), Vitamin D/Vitamin K2 (20 minutes daily sunlight or supplement), and zinc. Please share. Thank you. ❤️
This is the level of madness we've now reached in the UK. Official bodies wont give impartial, fact-based advice that could save lives just in case they cause offence. Unbelievable.
Cardinal Fang
It seems the UK and the US are brothers in madness as well.
Have you seen the news reports of the idiots in Florida and Texas and Arizona? If all the states had just followed the procedures implemented in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, we would have controlled the spread. But, as is human nature, “it’s always someone else problem until that problem smacks you in the face”
Apparently it's more politically correct to deny that there are biological differences between races than to recommend vitamin D to save lives, disproportionately black lives since they are twice as likely to be deficient.
I think it is a bit more complicated than that. The UK government has been woefully slow on everything covid related so I would not expect them to give good advice now on anything. They seem to want everything to go through a clinical trial and have conclusive evidence before recommending Vitamin D. I think there is confusion about the difference between using vitamin D as a treatment when you have Covid vs. correcting vitamin D deficiency for optimal immunity.
Also the government has spent 30 years warning of the danger of sun exposure with regard to skin cancer. They are right on this of course, but they have never mentioned the role of sun exposure in creating vitamin D before. Maybe they think this would confuse the skin cancer message. There is the problem that for some pale skinned people the sun really can be dangerous enough to put them in hospital after only a few hours of unprotected exposure. Maybe the government thinks that if they tell people to get out into the sun some people will over do it. In reality few people seems to listen to the advice on sun exposure anyway.
@@blackboxcameracom all fine, except it was NICE that originally repudiated the benefit of Vitamin D (not the government) and then SACN (not the government).
@@rijamor Government ministers, government civil servants, government advisers, government agencies and quangos are all part of the same thing. They exist to govern the country. They are all part of the government. Dr Campbell was able to recommend Vitamin D in January based on first principles that should be understood by any other medical professional. Today the NHS website still says there is no evidence vitamin D has any value in countering coronavirus. For those of us who have followed the science presented by Dr Campbell and many others, this advice from our government via the NHS just seems hopelessly wrong.
When our good doctor starts out with you're welcome to stay after bottom line I actually perk up and get ready to receive some excellent education .
I love the way Dr. Campbell break things down for the normal layman to understand.
Perfect educator.
You are hanging on like a trerrier 😊 Thank you from my heart ❤️
Hes a realy good doctor and man.
With your reach and early endorsement of the benefits of Vitamin D, you have almost certainly saved lives. I've been sharing your videos with everyone I can.
He is such a nice Dr. God Bless him always!
Thanks for sharing!!
Me too! I started following him in February and I think I alone have talked several people into taking it thanks to Dr. Campbell.
I was tested 10yrs ago with low vit D and put my family on vit D when you advocated it. Thank you!
Dr John is particularly good at spotting the details that many researchers and reporters will all too quickly move on past without stopping to think through. Knowing the value of stopping to explain the details is very conducive to saving lives. As a personal note it’s a good reminder to get the kids out into the sunshine as much as possible.
Selfless, anticipatory and thorough. How has this one man, working alone, given more accurate, timely and useful information, than the whole apparatus of the UK government? Questions need to be asked about the response, certainly, but give Dr. John a medal for his unselfish public work, regardless.
I love this man, he embodies anything and everything I am proud of in British culture, and nothing that I'm not proud of.
Thanks to you, many of us are now taking vit. D. daily. Even though its summer in the northern hemisphere its too hot to be outside, so I still take it daily. I notice I feel better emotionally, as well as physically. I think it has a positive influence on seratonin, and other bio- chemicals that regulate mental health.
That's interesting
Yes.when my level sat at 12 i felt awful both physically and mentally .And was diagnosed with depression and fibromyalgia
Since getting levels up the depression has eased .

I'm obese started taking 800ui a day for a month around mid May started to take 2000ui my reading in March was 18 my reading a week ago is at 71 these videos have reminded me to take them
Thank you. That's nmol/l , right? Or almost 29 ng/ml on 2000 iu/daily. Gives us an idea. It is very risky to get tested for vitamin d - there may be an increased risk of contracting the virus.
It's also good for strong bones. My doctor has me buying 2,000 IU per day for osteoporosis.
@@frankporter6169 That is nmol/L.
You do not need to test, regardless of your current level, just take 4000-6000 IU per day and you are covered.
@@hn5460 if I took that level I'd be past toxicity at this point surely if I got to 71 from 18 with 2000 toxicity is from 80
@@taraedney1706 Are you in the US? My guess is you are from Canada since you were talking about IU and the serum level is about right in nmol/L units for the amount of vitamin D you are taking.
If you were talking about ng/ml units, which is in use in the U.S., I would suggest you to double check the last result with your doctor again at your next appointment. Meanwhile, just keep taking 2000 IU daily dose as suggested by your doctor. It is a very safe maintaining dose.
A forward thinking GP prescribed for me 1500mg Adcal D3. for my Osteoporosis, 8 years ago.. So I already know the benefits, but thanks to you I have a better understanding of how they work.
1500 mg? I hope you mean 1500 IU, because recommended vitamin D upper limit is 4000 UI = 100 micrograms
@TurboCMinusMinus I've taken Osteocare tablets for years to prevent osteoporosis which runs in my family. Among other things they contains calcium, D3 and magnesium.
Too many opinions not appreciated. Sorry I posted my treatment plan.
@TurboCMinusMinus Excess vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia, which means you absorb too much calcium, giving you a high blood calcium level, which is apparently bad for bones, but that only happens at very high doses.
There's been a recommendation to take vitamin K2, to counteract that tendency.
Thank you for your videos, the world owes you a debt of gratitude. I appreciate your unbiased and factual information as well interviews with health care professionals from around the world
You sir deserve knighthood and Nobel Prize consideration.
My family have been on it ever since you first mentioned it 6 months ago. Thanks for the heads up on it. Made us feel a little less exposed to the covid.
May The God Almighty Bless Everybody!Amen!
Ditto.
"A low level of vitamin D in blood plasma appears to be an independent risk factor for Covid-19 infection and hospitalization, say scientists from Israeli HMO Leumit Health Services and the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine of Bar-Ilan University"
Thanks to your work we have been taking vitamin D for months and will continue to do so. Thank you again for all you do. Those who disagree can watch different videos if they don't like it.
Agree! Interesting you can top up your vitamin D by using sunbeds.
"I'll be here so you can stay if you want." I stay whenever I'm able but am always very grateful that your first mission is to provide the bottom line to help others, not get the views to help yourself. Thank you for all you continue to do, Dr. Campbell! It's been a real marathon here.
Thanks Dr John, I am sitting in my backyard with my shirt off in the middle of winter in Melbourne watching your video Lol It’s actually amazing how warm the sun is if you stay out of the wind.
you could turn black and get a knee on your neck.
Don't you just love it when pc culture makes everything about race, but when it actually matters, as the darker skin makes it harder to absorb sunlight, they can't even mention it cause they are too busy dancing around the terms.
So true
It is racist to deny darker skinned people knowledge to save their lives. Lack of common sense.
Campbell has come to the conclusion that their recommendation is based on skin colour. I'm not so sure he's right. I think it's far more complex than that. Some white people get huge amounts of sun, some get none. How do you recommend a dose for those two extremes? Perhaps it's best to hear from SACN before jumping to such conclusions.
@@vihuelamig he said the only way to know is to test the levels in the blood. For everyone, black or white or in between.
@@vihuelamig look at the figures in the US. Pretty conclusive I would have thought and as Dr Campbell said a pretty safe bet to take Vitamen D supplement.
I use a lot of sunscreen, hats etc because I don't like sunburns and I don't want to get skin cancer. I am very light skinned! My endrocrinologist tested me and found me to be very deficient. She gradually increased my dose up 4000 iu's of D3.
Simple - stop using sunscreen and bathe in the sun at 20 minute intervals to start. Then, as you tan, increase the time. I’m immunocompromised, of Celtic origin, have very fair skin and I have been able to tan. And the biggest thing is that I have not caught Covid yet, and I should have by now.
Generally, half the sun exposure that would produce a sunburn is sufficient for optimal vitamin D production.
@@EelcoHillenius There is other research indicating be replete in assorted carotenoids lessens the risk of sunburn in the pale skinned. And more methyl folate may also help prevent some of the risks.
She had me try limited exposure (20 to 40 minutes daily) for 3 months first. Since I was vacationing in Florida most of that time getting the required amount of sun was actually easy. Still too low. Then she started the supplements. Actually took almost a year of experimentation for her to be happy with my numbers!
So you're afraid of skin cancer but use all those toxic sunscreens on a daily basis? Just put on some 100% natural coconut oil and don't be afraid of the sun so much, You'll be fine.
I wanted my vitamin D level tested. I was told by my doctor that the test was unreliable and medicare wouldn't cover it.
I supplement anyway, 125 mcg/pd.
I would try an independent clinic or a different doctor. When I was pregnant, I consistently got my vit D tested. I was low & now supplement daily
Medicare covered vit D testing for me in NY
Your doctor would appear mistaken; Medicare does cover testing for Vitamin D in my own experience.
From everything I’ve studied 4000IU’s is the correct adult dose. 5000 seems to be the closest dosage sold here in the USA anyway. Hopefully 5k a day keeps the Covid away😃🇺🇸👍
Not so. Medicare does pay for the test. Ask another doctor to schedule it.
Thank you, Sir Doctor Campbell !!
Thank you John, just like you say, this info needs to be made common knowledge and be given from those who the masses will listen to, and what you're doing is a giant step in the right direction as you reach a lot of people, most of which are willing to learn and improve their health. So thanx again :)
I see the first stars now on the waterblue heaven. Almost 11 p.m. here in Stockholm. I play dire straits here in hammock. Neighbours are still on holiday. So I can play whenever I want.

Thank you! Heeded vitamin D3 advice early on and thus far don't seem to have caught this virus. Been careful, wearing mask when I go out, avoiding going out as much as possible. Been using quercitin for years to help vs asthma and allergies. Been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, so I know I am in a higher risk group. Hope everyone stays safe and well. Take care, everyone!
Take
Zinc 35 to 40 mg
D3 3,000 to 4,000 iu
C 2,000 to 3,000 mg
Great steps! Do you take zinc as well?
I haven't been taking zinc thus far, but I have been taking vitamin C (USDA dosage daily)
@@roarkegriffon5657 Ok, AFAIK Quercetin helps to transport zinc to the cells which helps to get rid of virus infections.
I'm looking into adding zinc just to be extra careful. More concerned about not passing the virus to others, like my mom who is in her 90s....but also don't want to risk getting it myself.
My doctor put me on VitD 8 years ago. The reason he stated was for inflammation. In any case I am glad I've been taking it.

@@celinee.9562 F
I’m on it because I’m on a medication for breast cancer that can cause osteoporosis and my oncologist has me in a pretty high dose of that plus calcium. I’ve heard from several physicians that it helps fight disease years ago, I want to know why it isn’t being out out there fir the public. I swear I think the media doesn’t report anything good, they’d be out if business if they did.
What dose?
Bb Said I’m on 1600 IU for vit D , that’s double the recommended daily value, but always check with a physician, you can overdose on it. They actually draw blood for my levels.
BTW, vitamin D isn't really found much in farmed salmon, because salmon don't actually produce it. It starts as plant-based vitamin D, produced by algae and plankton, and that in turn, is eaten by krill and other smaller marine life. Those are eaten by larger marine life, like herring, etc., and salmon in the wild, will feed on herring, etc.
Farmed fish is usually fed highly processed foods designed to get them to put on weight as quickly as possible, for maximum profit....
Best to buy the supplements and take them, rather than relying upon fish diets, and/or get more sunlight.
You could buy wild caught fish.

Excellent information on vitamin D. Thank you for all the time you put into your research😊 To everyone in Corpus Christi, Tx, South Padre Island, tx and Mexico be safe through the hurricane and all the flooding.
These doctors and nurses at hospitals really don’t know what they’re doing at all. Mom was in hospital for 2 weeks and I brought her vitamin D and K. The nurses basically laughed at me giving her vitamins acting like they were useless
Zakk Rios I hope you educated them, and referred them to Dr. Campbell's vids.
Linda Douglas I educated them and told them to do their research. But they seem to know it all already lol
THEIR EDUCATION IS FUNDED BY BIG PHARMA MEDICAL SCHOOLS.
I FIND MOST DOCTORS TO BE ARROGANT AND VERY IGNORANT OUTSIDE THEIR VERY NARROW FIELD.
IF YOU MENTION VITAMINS THEY WILL STICK THEIR NOSE IN THE AIR AND SNIFF IN DISDAIN.
IF YOU MENTIONS REMDESVIR THEY WILL PISS PANTS IN THEIR WITH ORGASMIC EXCITEMENT.

Wow! So glad I stumbled across this. I’m black, 50yrs age, male with Rheumatoid arthritis. I had been in remission for over 7yrs until the lockdown & now I’ve just had 30 days of my worst flare up ever. Oh & yes I’m very low in Vitamin D last labs that were done in December I was @ 14L. Guess it’s time to start taking it!

It can be hard to remember the tablet. I'm white, but work indoors. I am grateful for John's reminders.
THANK YOU John !! Shout as loud as you can about this
Thank you long live Dr Campbell!!!!
As Dr Campbell told us months ago, “there is a mountain of evidence” about the value of Vitamin D in avoiding the worst effects of Covid 19. Why aren’t the government bodies taking note of this? Thank you, sir, for telling us who watch your videos. You deserve to be officially honoured for the service you have provided.
Where is the "mountain of evidence"? None of these studies prove anything. They don't even claim to prove anything definitively. Do you people know what proof is?
He is literally piecing together a bunch of unrelated information and saying that is proof. Then, leaving it to retards to take that and run.
@@imgonnawin555 robb e is a big pharma stooge.
The UK's NICE just done an urgent review on Vitamin D. They looked at all the scientific evidence linking Vitamin D deficiency and high mortality rates and said many of these studies were flawed because they they not take into account of co-morbidity. NICE's review on Vitamin D was rather negative!

@@esecallumWhat does "big pharma" have to do with anything here?
Vitamin D suppliers don't make billions of dollars off idiots like this?
These "scientific advisory boards" do not want a cheap, easy supplement that will treat/cure many different conditions. They prefer expensive pharmaceutical drugs to treat these conditions due to their cozy relationships with big pharma. Proper supplementation with Vit D would greatly reduce many illnesses and cut into pharma's profits....
the advisory boards are staffed by industry insiders. govt officials have crap qualifications like social media , economics theory , politics, history, etc.
Behind the Headlines: Is NICE influenced by pharma?
We take a closer look at media claims that NICE is influenced by the pharmaceutical industry.
The Sunday Express has claimed that pharmaceutical firms have influenced NICE's draft recommendations to increase the prescription of statins.
The draft guidance recommends that the threshold for offering statins to people to prevent cardiovascular disease, should be halved. It would lead to many more people being prescribed the drugs.
The paper reports that 8 out of the 12 members of the expert panel who developed the guideline have financial ties to companies that make statins or next generation cholesterol lowering drugs.
As a result, The Sunday Express questions whether NICE's decision to recommend wider use of statins was influenced by pharmaceutical companies rather than evidence.
Here we take a closer look at the story.
Why is NICE proposing to widen the number of people eligible for statins?
NICE is updating its 2008 guideline on the identification of people at risk of CVD and on the use of lipid lowering drugs to reduce that risk. The guideline is being updated in part to allow consideration of new evidence on CVD risk assessment tools and to reflect changes in the price and availability of generic statins.
Previously, NICE had recommended a risk assessment tool derived from the US Framingham studies. New evidence has since emerged around alternative risk tools, such as QRISK2, that are a better fit for the population of England and Wales.
NICE is proposing that patients are offered atorvastatin, 20 mg. Patients with established CVD, type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes should be offered a higher strength 80mg dose of atorvastatin.
The draft recommendations are centred on the prescribing of generic statins rather than branded versions.
Since the 2008 guideline was published, atorvastatin has come off patent which means it is now available to the NHS at a much cheaper cost. The Generic Manufacturers' Association estimates that generic atorvastatin, rather than the branded version marketed as Lipitor by Pfizer, could save the NHS £350 million a year.
Is NICE's draft guidance at odds with what's recommended internationally?
No, NICE's plans to widen the number of people eligible for statins mirror similar calls issued by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association in their updated the guidelines, published in November 2013.
It has been estimated that twice as many Americans, from 15.5 per cent to 31 per cent, will be eligible for statins as a result of the new guidelines.
Closer to home, the guidelines being developed by the Joint British Societies Recommendations for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease (JBS3) for publication later this month will also be closely aligned with NICE's recommendations.
The JBS3 guideline will focus on the idea of lifetime prevention, moving away from the 10-year risk model used in JBS2. The JBS3 is expected to include a risk calculator derived from the QRisk tool recommended by NICE in the draft guidance.
Does NICE have a policy to deal with conflicts of interest?
Yes, in line with all of NICE's guidance development, at the start of the process all members of the Guideline Development Group (GDG) responsible for formulating the recommendations were asked to declare interests including consultancies, fee-paid work, share-holdings, fellowships and support from the healthcare industry.
The group met every 5-8 weeks during the development of the guideline and at all subsequent meetings, members declared any arising conflicts of interest.
Members are required to withdraw completely or for part of the discussion if their declared interest made it appropriate. One member of the GDG withdrew altogether after declaring involvement in a company selling health checks and consequent use of cardiovascular disease preventing medicines.
NICE publishes a list of the conflicts of interest for each GDG member for each guideline that is developed online in accompanying appendices.
Did the majority of the group have ties to pharmaceutical companies?
8 out of 12 of the GDG members had involvement with pharmaceutical companies but this was declared to NICE and judged not to be specific enough to warrant withdrawal from the group.
The Chair of the group - Dr Anthony Wierzbicki - was involved in a number of clinical trials of new cholesterol lowering drugs that are not yet used in clinical practice and are targeted at familial hypercholestrolaemia (FH) that is the subject of a different guideline.
A number of declarations made by other GDG members were also around research and work on FH. Specialist heart nurse Emma McGowan received pharmaceutical funding for 12 months from but this was in relation to her work around FH services.
Other declarations made by members were for conference attendances not specific to this guideline.
Should doctors be receiving payments from drug companies?
The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry estimates that British drug firms pay £140 million a year in 'expenses' to UK doctors.

Thank you very much for your daily updates. Much appreciated.
They don't tell us here in the US about nutrition. The medical and insurance industries have to make their billions!
yeah because its the peoples responsibility to take care of them selves
Yep, the nanny state has to take care of every aspect of our lives, right.
ZFR Music educate yourself don’t wait for the government to tell you what to do for your health.
People in the US - perhaps other countries as well - are being conditioned and trained to NOT take responsibility for themselves and their safety and health, but to depend on the government and media to tell them what to do.
@Iron Weed As it should be. It needs resources to oppose people like you.
Thanks John. Really a blessing to have these videos and a way to navigate this whole business .
Wow - great job. Thank you for tackling Vit D. And thank you for pointing out we all came from 'black' people - or from the geographic region Africa. We did. And most biological changes are from environmental factors. Kudos!
I am a 59 year old white male. I am of Celtic origin. I am hypothyroid, have Epstein-Barr, & Hemochromatosis. My ferritin was 4580. Now 220 after phlebotomy treatments for a year. I have been sun bathing since March and have built up quite a tan, but more importantly I have kept COVID-19 at bay. And I should’ve caught it - I come into contact with the general public quite frequently. In the past I caught every cold & flu that would come through. I tested negative for COVID-19, and have not been sick. I started out at 15 minutes in the sun. I can now withstand 40 minutes on each side now and I am extremely tan. Get out in the Sun!!!

you could be mistaken for a black now and get a knee on your neck.
You need to add a little magnesium oxide or magnesium trisilicate with every meal and keep vitamin C rich food aware from those that contain iron. Reducing animal products will greatly help. Frequent phlebotomy treatments should not be relied upon for keeping your iron level low. Control iron absorption with your diet.
Thanks for your videos. Grateful, I have been taking Vit D for quite a few years.
4:30 dr. J is kicking ass better than ever
Here in England, yes we will suffer autumn rain storms and no sun. But I tell you Harry Fire - just like you - I am NOT going to suffer a CYTOKINE STORM / SEPSIS (4000 IU a day for me).
@@The670533 RC send your rain here to Southern California and will send you lots and lots of sunshine😃 I take a multiple vitamin every other day....includes 400 units of vitamin D
Dr. Steven Lin suggests:
1. Use body oils (SPF 0), which can increase the depth of penetration up to 80 percent.
2. Don’t use sunscreen if it’s possible to do so without becoming pink/feeling overly warm.
3. Use a reflector screen during less sunny seasons.
4. Eat sufficient cholesterol - A lack of cholesterol has been shown to cause malnutrition due to the lack of fat soluble vitamin absorption.
5. Make sure you have sufficient vitamin D cofactors: vitamin K2, magnesium, boron, and zinc.
6. Get perpendicular to the sun for maximum exposure.
7. Try not to tan. When your skin gets dark it absorbs less sunlight.
8. Don’t wear UV protective clothing.
9. Don’t shower immediately after sun exposure - Your body is still creating vitamin D on the surface of your skin. While we still need more research to determine an optimal waiting time, we know showering immediately reduces vitamin D production.
I appreciate the effort put into making this video Dr John 🙏
I appreciate that!
I tell myself I only need the bottom line but always end up staying for the whole hog, you’re a fierce interesting man for sure, best wishes from Dublin!
I appreciate that
I'm the same 😄 I'll just wait for this bit ... another few minutes ... and suddenly I'm at the end of the video!
Dear DrJohn many thanks for your excellent video re Vitamin D. Look forward to listening to you every day. Very grateful for all the information you so kindly impart. Best wishes always
Thank you so much, doctor!! For your relentless attempt to keep us update and stay healthy.. 🙏
Excellent presentation, Dr Campbell! SO useful and such a help to all of us! Best wishes from us in Madrid.
I want to encourage everyone who watches this to make sure that everyone -- _especially_ one's friends, family, and co-workers who are of dark complexion -- knows about the Vitamin D issue.
Don't be shy if you are white. If I know something that may save a life, I believe I have a moral obligation to share this information, even if it makes me uncomfortable to do so.
@jeff bishop
Where did you get the notion that an excuse was needed?
That is school-{***}-tics this is science: Bark of the Birch tree is nutritious!
Rainbow is ergot alkaloids
Birchtree22 I am on board, I will let friends know about taking Vitamin D, especially if they are dark completed or overweight. It's the right thing to do, and there is no need to tell them it is related to skin color. Some people are afraid of their own shadow!
@jeff bishop It's always interesting to find out from other people that I'm out to "burn, loot, murder" when I'm a pacifist and a philosopher of ethics.
I tell everyone regardless of their skin colour
I have shared the information with a growing number of darker skinned people. It is apparent to me that if I use the word Black it hooks into negitive feelings. If I use the words darker skinned people, people look at me like I'm a bit slow then talk with me.
This is pure genius. Very well presented!!
Thank you for the time and effort you put in to this excellent video. And to all of them. You are the single most trusted source I know.
Thank you for your work on bringing this to our attention, very much appreciated.
I see a dr for depression and she said she recommends that all of her patients take 5000 IU’s daily. So that’s what I’ve done for at least 3 years.
233yyd I take 15,000 IU daily because of malabsorption syndrome. It keeps my levels between 33 and 60. Does help with depression too. Are you taking PPI’s for Gerds? You will not absorb B12, vitamins A, D3 or iron. You may have iron defiency anemia and B12 defiencies. These both cause depression. Get tested. I have been down that road. I know of what I speak.
Well done and good on you sir! I have been fortunate enough to know several people considered " national treasures". You are of great International value as a teacher and human being. You are very welcome in very troubled times.
Fantastic, so interesting program - Thank you! I share your knowledge with family and friends, since we here in Sweden are not protected by our government and their authorities. I am fed up with our state epidemiologist who now is back from holidays and still refuse to acknowledge the benefits with face coverings. Apparently they don´t read the research studies that you present to us. I am so grateful for your hard work. Again, thank you. You save lives. And yes - Dr. Campbell for a Nobel prize! No digging at the allotment that week :)
Thank you. I've been waiting for this a long time
Thank you so much for discussing vitamin D, so helpful!
Excellent update John, it was well worth all the prep! Watched twice and made notes! Shared widely. Thank you for your excellent work John.
Dear Sir, I absolutely adore the way you phrase your messages! Thank you for all you do
Thanks for taking the time to educate us on this important subject. :)
Dr. Campbell, your work is always important and informative and delivered in a most clear and accessible manner. Your efforts to improve understanding of the role of vitamin D surely will save many lives. By the way, there are several good mobile apps that help you estimate production of vitamin D from the sun and ensuing changes in estimates blood levels.
Thank you Dr Campbell for your information on Vitamin D daily/weekly recommendations, you as usual, trying to keep us all safe
Thank you John, great informative content as always
Thank you Dr for these videos. I’ve taken your advice and tried to share them to as many people as possible
I’m a 40 yo white male and I’ve been supplementing 2000 iu vitamin D to my daily vitamins. I also walk in the sun for 30+ min daily and my vitamin D levels were 67 when I had them tested recently. I also have my mom on vit D 2000 iu supplements and she is at 47 for her vit D levels.
I was so fortunate that my PHP had me on vitamin D3 and blood testing me a year before the pandemic I’m sure she would love Dr John.
Does she also make bullshit claims about things that aren't proven for attention?

Thank you Dr Campbell for all of your excellent work throughout this pandemic. We have been following you since February and I share your videos often. I even gifted my husband with a fountain pen like yours for our 31st anniversary to support your work in some small way. Thank you for your invaluable work in educating the public. I am in the US and accurate information is at times hard to find. Stay well.
Dr. John Campbell you are making a difference! Excellent video today
I live in the US , my primary care doctor for some reason decided to test all of her female patients VD levels several years ago, I had the lowest VD levels out of all tested. She put me on 50,000iu once a week, I do have Type 1 diabetes since age of 14 yrs old, I am now 49, since my primary care doctor put me on VD I feel much better my rheumatoid arthritis doesn't bother me like it did before I started taking the 50,000iu of VD. She also discovered that my VB12 was also extremely low so I go every 3 months or so and get a VB12 injection, I go in the morning for labs to check my VD3 & VB12 levels in the morning
I read a comment someone made that medicare wouldn't pay for the VD3 test that is false they will pay for that test, just ask your primary care doctor to check your vitamin levels across the board
Thank you Dr. John Campbell for everything you are doing to keep us informed
Much love from Georgia, USA
Thanks Dr. John this was very helpful
Thank you John . I learned a lot from you.
Bravo, Dr John Campbell! I'm beginning to see how much work you put into these videos in synthesizing and explaining things. I now understand better what these papers said, after attempting to understand them through the MedCram video. Job well done!
I'm impressed by the good doctors video editing skills as much as his lectures. Great clean and easy to understand work!
Ive started using quercetin to protect from covid 19. I had an ulcer on my ankle for over a year that nothing would heal. The quercetin healed the ankle ulcer in around 8 weeks! I was taking 500mg quercetin and increased to 750mg a day. If not for dr campbell and medcram and peak prosperity videos on protecting against covid 19 i would never have increased vit D and taken quercetin. Thank you so much! A top doctor claimed my ulcer would never heal just 2 months ago
Drbeen Medical Lectures is also an excellent channel. He discusses how vitamin D and other supplements work on a cellular level and he does his own wonderful illustrations. He has discussed quercitin and zinc and NAC, everything that supports the immune system.
In addition to Roger / medcram see also:
Dr Mobeen Syed alias cool beans
Take zinc too, along with quercitine... quercitine will help the zinc to enter the cells...
It does inhibit the virus in vitro
Was it a venous stasis ulcer?
Vitamin D helps the ace 2 receptors from blocking the virus getting into the cells. Older people get outside less and therefore their vitamin D levels are also low, which is why the elderly are also badly affected by the virus.
Yup, do they give people Vit. D in nursing homes? Bet not.
@@thecook8964 The nursing homes do not give the patients vitamin D. I wish it was mandatory.
And kidney function in the elderly is almost always in decline.
Ace2 receptors don't block the virus, the virus uses these receptors to enter the cells
mona nemani vitamin D helps to block the virus from getting into the cell via the ace 2 receptors.
Thank you Dr John. Another amazing video.
Love your videos. One thing to make things complicated is something we do in Canada. I work for one of our provincial government services and we think vitamin D deficiency isn’t as bad here as elsewhere In general. Because we are a northern climate with months of low sunlight, many foods (esp. bread and milk) have vitamin D added to them. For example, one cup (250 mL) of skimmed milk I have cereal with for breakfast gives me 45% of my recommended daily intake. Of course some people may have low vitamin D anyway. And supplements aren’t likely to hurt anyone so They can still be taken. But we do not test for vitamin D deficiency in the normal course because it is found in our foods as supplements and it is easy and cheap to supplement.
Afternoon from Buckinghamshire England 🏴
Heya! Love from South London. Hello Dr. John, this is a great update.
Good evening from roses in Stockholm. Now I will pick raspberries and Cherries in the garden. Then I will eat Salmon soup I made.
Can this problem of Vit D deficiency around the world be due to fears of skin cancer and obsessive use of sunscreens? Do the sunscreens limit absorption of Vit D?
Love your videos!!!
Suncream does stop Vit D creation, by stopping UV. If i go out in the sun, i wait at least half hour before i put on suncream.
Siamese lover VA Yes, sunscreen restricts Vit D absorption
Good question
We also spend a lot more time indoors than our ancestors.
My mother was a real sun worshipper back in the 70s - always sunbathing and wearing a good tan. However, she still developed severe osteoporosis and ended up completely disabled so presumably she still didn't manage to make enough Vitamin D overall to save her bones. As with all supplements and medications the dosage ideally needs to be tailored to the individual.
Thank you Dr Campbell! Your selfless efforts in bringing us this vital vitamin D information is very much appreciated! You are making a HUGE difference, and definitely saving lives.
Thank you Dr Campbell for this valuable information, this is very important for people of color to understand
