- Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency among US adults: prevalence, predictors and clinical implications
www.cambridge....
(University of Michigan School of Medicine, 2018)
Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and insufficiency (VDI) are increasing at a global level
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) measurements were collected from 26,010 adults
(National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, NHANES)
VDD, less than 50 nmol/l (20 ng ml)
VDI, 50 to 75 nmol/l (20 - 25 ng ml)
Prevalence
VDD, 28·9%
VDI, 41·4 %
Adults who were black, less educated, poor, obese, physically inactive and infrequent milk consumers
Obese adults, 3·09 times higher prevalence of VDD
(1·80 times higher prevalence of VDI)
Physically inactive adults, 2·00 times VDD
(1·36 times higher prevalence of VDI)

Persons with higher vitamin D dietary intake or who used supplements had lower prevalences of at risk of deficiency or inadequacy.
Vitamin D deficiency 2.0: an update on the current status worldwide
www.nature.com...
Most studies did not meet the basic requirements of a nutrient intervention study
~40% of Europeans are vitamin D deficient,
and 13% are severely deficient
Vitamin D deficiency
(serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D less than 50 nmol/L or 20 ng/ml),
associated with unfavourable skeletal outcomes, including fractures and bone loss
Level of more than 50 nmol/L or 20 ng/ml is, therefore, the primary treatment goal
Severe vitamin D deficiency, below less than 30 nmol/L (or 12 ng/ml),
dramatically increases the risk of excess mortality, infections, and many other diseases,
and should be avoided whenever possible.
Given its rare side effects and its relatively wide safety margin, it may be an important, inexpensive, and safe adjuvant therapy for many diseases,
but future large and well-designed studies should evaluate this further.

Low vitamin D serum levels as risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ejnpn.springer...
Serum vitamin D levels, related to cognitive dysfunctions, e.g. dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease
Past studies vary in results on whether vitamin D levels correlated with the development of AD.
Meta-analysis, up to December 2022
AD, 75% of dementias
Results
6 studies, n = 10,884
Vitamin D receptors throughout the brain
Patients, vitamin D serum levels (less than 25 ng/ml),
had an increased risk of developing AD,
compared to more than 25 ng/ml
HR: 1.59
Severe deficiency (less than 10 ng/ml) having the strongest association,
compared to moderate vitamin D deficiency (10-20 ng/ml).
Vitamin D may promote the clearing of amyloid plaques
Vitamin D also prevents cognitive dysfunction via neuroprotection, neurotrophy, neurotransmission, and neuroplasticity
Potential to prevent neuroinflammation, inhibits proinflammatory cytokines

In the UK during autumn and winter,
everyone is advised to take a supplement containing,
10 micrograms (400 international units) of vitamin D a day

My mother, housebound and never in the sun, died of dementia. Her younger brother still running the family farm at 87 years old. Never been inside a day in his life. Never used sunscreen. Theres a massive correlation between the "sun fear" of the last fifty years, people terrified of the sun, using ridiculous amounts of sunscreen, and then the massive use of statin drugs just sucking the life giving cholesterol out of peoples brains, and that beautiful food pyramid of the last fifty years. The results are exacly as expected.
Great point. I'm a gardener. I'm happy with your comment.
it's the sunscreen that causes melinoma...the chemicals in sunscreens are toxic

It is another deception of "modern" medicine as radiotherapy sounds to you, yes, the sun heals the body, it tries to remove the toxins that human beings ingest through the skin. As a human being, continuing to eat toxins damages the skin, which is the filter.
I agree plus vigorous working keeps the body working.
Yep
My 88 yr old husband died in April after surviving a 13 year diagnosed progression of vascular dementia. I kept him at home and cared to all of his needs without assistance, as I wouldn't risk introducing Covid into our environment by any visiting h.c. workers. I believe that his longterm success over the progression of his brain degeneration was a combination of several factors, one of which was my commitment to giving him adequate COD Liver Oil capsules daily, along with exposure to fresh air and sunlight when possible. I am convinced that if he had been institutionalized, he would have perished much younger, because at home "he" was still "himself " , a dearly loved man with symptoms of a disease. The experience of caring for him taught me much about him, his disease, and about myself and my commitment to him. Even with all of the extreme challenges in the last three to four years, the dementia didn't succeed in killing him or in dominating his memories. It was a misdiagnosed gastric bleed that led to his death, and his last words were words of love when he repeatedly asked me, from his hospital bed. "are you OK? are you OK? are you OK?" Our love and my determination to keep him safe and well is the reason why he didn't sooner. His dementia pales in comparison to my own struggle with his loss. I am the one who is "lost".
I can feel your loss and pain. My husband of 51 years is my heart and soul. I care for him and his needs 24/7 alone. He is 93 years old, I am 72. His mind is sound and I know it is because I made sure he had good nutrition and supplements on a daily basis. I also give him twice dailt CL Oil.
I CHERISH EVERY DAY WITH HIM, and I tell him so. He thanks me for everything, and he fullfills my happiness. I am in very good shape due to daily supplements like D3, bentfotamine, K 2 %7, and the good nutrition of a carnivore diet. Once I went carnivore the pains of arthritis vanished. I stopped both blood pressure meds and have good daily BP. My A1C is 4.5, LDL is 114, and my GFR, kidney function was 34 one year ago, was 63 in April, and as of last week is now 65. All tests were in normal range accross the board. Being in good shape makes it easier to take care of him. I also have lost 97 lbs to date. I do not think beyond the being together. I do not know what will become of me without him. So I live for the present and maintain the happiness we share.
What a beautiful love story. May Yahshua comfort you.
But you can celebrate your love and his life too...🙂🙂
God bless your sweet heart
So sorry for you loss. Sounds like you gave him the best care he could have received and he was fortunate enough to be at home with his loving wife. After devoting yourself so fully to the well being of another, their loss can feel as though your life purpose is gone. It can be very difficult to continue on. You have suffered a loss. Please get professional help to suppport you at this difficult time.
In my 30s I began dealing with depression and body aches. My doctor tested my Vitamin D, and it was low. It was near 20 ng/ml. I started taking 5000 IU a day. It was remarkable how quickly my pain levels and mood improved. Even taking 5000IU (125 mcg) daily, my blood levels never go over 60 ng/ml. Vitamin D has been a life saver for me.
Take it with K2 ( MK7 ) variant to avoid calcification
Ima try this now...cross your fingers!!!
Keep rockin' it out, Elizabeth.
@@theancientsancients1769 Yea I have a supp that does that.
Same here.
I was diagnosed with MS in 2005 and had it 2 years+ before.
I decided, with scepticism, to try Vitamin D3 as some had mentioned.
It was making MORE difference than my injection therapy!!!
I also noticed my depression had lifted and I felt happier.
In the end my neurologist ADMITTED that the vitamin D3 HAD made a difference in my case.
Not saying VitD isn't important. But my dad died of dementia (and cancer, but it was the dementia that did him in) and he was out in the Arizona desert sun most days and for at least an hour. I doubt he was deficient until the last season where he became housebound. I really think it was his anger that aided the disease. He ate well and mostly good food. He exercised regularly, he had a sense of humor, but he held onto a grudge like a bulldog. Anger releases chemicals in the body that are deadly.
respectfully I think sometimes things just happen where we cant explain or find the exact cause. A beloved family member did everything right too. I watched a ted talk that didn't cheer me up, but gave perspective. The speaker noted how so many family members got it and sadly she anticipates she will eventually succumb as well She said what I never forgot, as depressing a thought as it may be "if the monster wants you the monster will get you". I think unfortunately that is true.
@@missygoldstein12 - "if the monster wants you the monster will get you" - that is also known as FATALISM, or 'giving up'. Do not give up, it will keep you going right to the end.
There is something vital to know as a person ages and Vit D. My GP in Australia told me that her father was out in the sun for hours each day continually and she assumed from this that his Vit D levels would be high.
She said she was ‘shocked’ to realise from a regular blood pathology that his Vitamin D was almost non existent.
She did research and concluded that as a person ages the skin does not absorb Vitamin D as it does when young.
So, OLDER PEOPLE NEED VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTED while of course monitoring the levels every year at least.
On the winter you don't get enough UVB to produce vitamin D from the sun in most latitudes.
And there are several causes of dementia, diet being the most important but not the only one.
People in hot climates learn to stay in the shade. India has terrible Vitamin D levels.
We are advised in Australia that extreme and infrequent exposure to the sun is more likely to result in melanomas than working up a tan through moderate exposure over a long time.
USA here. My friends 92 year old healthy, independent mother living alone fell and broke her hip during Covid 19. Surgery went well, but her heart was broken because her daughter couldn’t visit her and the hospital would not allow her daughter to drop off her mothers supplements and vitamins. When she went to a rehab center, they wouldn’t allow it either. Her mother’s morale went down and phone calls weren’t the same. Her mother showed some signs of dementia and a died suddenly. ‘Natural causes. ???’ I think not. She was without her supplements for 12 weeks and without her family visiting her.
So sad for a vibrant woman.
Absolutely criminal. I’m so sorry. The greatest travesty committed on the world and no accountability. The elderly and children were systematically tossed aside and dismissed. The costs are coming due and the price is very high.
Similar experience in UK. my dad's care home wouldnt allow vitamins or supplements. GPs same. even though my 88 yrs mother only eats toast, they say she won't need vitamins, because 'you can get all the nutrients you need from a balanced diet' which is the nutrition mantra from the NHS in the UK. They wont perscribe even a multivit so they can go into the dossette box. She has dementia and can't take them on her own initiative.
I had a knee replacement and was in a nursing home/rehab. They found out, after sneaking, snooping in my tote, that I had supplements & took them off of me. I check out of that place!
😳 Oh my goodness 💔
If she was jabbed that did it.
I was just diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma. Oncologist hoped that my D3 would be at least 30 prior to chemo. Last test 4 years ago was 25. After watching your videos 3+ years ago I started taking D3 as well as spending more time outside. I just tested at 60!
I can’t thank you enough for your advice!
Read “More Natural “cures” REVEALED “ by Kevin Trudeau
I was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in January. I was taking D3 many months before my diagnoses, and I now since 2 months I take also K2 (thanks to Dr. Campell advise). I had several Chemos already. My last final heavy Chemo is starting at 30th of August with an estimated 3 weeks of Hospitalisation and Stam cell therapy to recover from the Chemo. So far no infection, no blood cell disorder. Side effects have been there (just 1 week after every Chemo), but according to the nurses and doctors my results are very good. PET Scans shows no Lymphoma issues anymore (not detectable at least). I also avoid sugar and do intermittent fasting (at least 12 hours) + exercise when I feel well . I really think Vitamine D3 helped to avoid major side effects of the Chemo, as wel as my diet. My age is 66. @patd.4773 Good luck with your Treatment.
Did you get vaxxed?
Do you take Vitamin K2 with it. Suggest Check out the recommendations.
Get it to 100 if you can and take 100mg of K2 as well
My doctor told me to get my vitamin D up at the beginning of Covid. He told me that I would be much more susceptible to hospitalization or worse if I didn't. Good doctor. I took his advice and have been supplementing ever since.
Great doctor. In the same vein, Dr John interviewed an Israeli MD several times. He started advising Vit D3 on his patients during the pandemic, maybe even before. I can't quite remember exactly, but his Vit D3 recommendations to his patients turned out a great success.
Take vitamin D along with vitamin K correct doctor?
@johnw8984 and magnesium, which helps body produce its own D in season
At the beginning of Covid, I started taking 20,000 units of vitamin D three, vitamin C, zinc. I'm still taking the zinc and vitamin C and 10,000 units of vitamin D three. I have not caught Covid. I was vaccinated but I also was not careful at all when it came to avoiding people etc. I'm not big into supplements at all, but I will continue taking vitamin D3 for the rest of my life.
@@johnw8984 K2 with MK-7, Doctors Best supplement. Take together with a little bit of fat.
This is a warning for ALL people out there. When you go visit your doctor and they get bloods done and they say they are normal, no steps to be taken, ask for a print out. My mam was feeling very tired, low mood, various other symptoms. The doctor said her bloods came back fine. Well my dad asked for a print out and low and behold, yes my mam was in the normal bracket, but right at the bottom end of it. So if for example the normal was 50-80 range, then my mam was either 50 or 51. To me, if you are this low in the normal range and it can be as much as 80, then surely, if that person is presenting with these symptoms,the doctor should still be prescribing something to improve their condition! Doctors do not care these days about their patients, all they want is more pay and less hours. Even their bedside manners have diminished over the years. My mam is now thankfully on a couple of vitamins which has improved her health. Something as easily fixable as that!.
The tests always compare results to other people in the same age bracket, and on average people are terribly unhealthy. So if you are 'normal' it means literally nothing. Your liver can be full of fat and they will say it's normal because it's average for your age. Absolutely bonkers nonsense. That is one reason I fast, because it stops all these chronic diseases without going on crazy meds with lethal side effects.
Most vitamins do nothing are the biggest con in history.
Doctors can’t doctor when they have to follow corporate insurance guidelines. It’s not surprising health care is a drive through situation, if you don’t get your fries on the first pass just circle back around for the next 3 to 8 years .
Read Desperate Remedies by Andrew Skull, it is a real eye opener!
"It's normal" is suspect
I'm a nurse and our Docs started prescribing Vit D3 to nearly all our patients in the rehab unit. This was at least 15 yrs ago, but it seems not many MDs are doing it generally.
No, they’re not. I was very deficient in vit D. Dr. prescribed 50,000 IU of D2 per week. Did NOT do anything in my D levels. I started taking 5,000 IUs a day of D3 with K2, and my levels went up significantly. Mainstream Drs. are not taught correctly on administering correct vitamins; only pharmaceuticals (to make $$$)!!
Thank you for sharing...Would love to know what changes you noticed. 😊
What dosages are you recommending?
That’s probably a really good idea! The more I think about it the more obvious it is that older patients anywhere should be on D. Especially those on statins. If I’m not mistaken the body needs cholesterol to make vitamin D. I’m betting that’s one of the factors.
@@CoffeeTeaWithSusan You can safely take 10,000 IU per day. Also good to supplement magnesium and vitamin K2 alongside it.
My dad passed away 2 weeks ago, he had dementia and urostomy bag. He would urinary tract infections a few times....unfortunately in my dads case he's unable to feel the pain of the infection. Unfortunately the infection progressed rapidly into Sepsis and he passed away from septic shock. Sepsis is a major killer of the elderly with dementia because they ate unable to commincate what is wrong. When the angels took him it was a blessing, dementia is terrible terrible disease that affects family care givers immensely. 🙏🌼
So so very sorry to hear your comment..
So sorry for your loss x
So sorry 😔
😢 sorry for your loss 🫂💗
Yes indeed ..I am still bewildered 6 months after her passing after taking care of her for eight long years all by myself in a totally broken medical system. God bless you for what you've done for your father.
You said: "Higher levels of Vitamin D lower Dementia risk by 59 percent" WOW!!! That's absolutely stunning, Dr Campbell!!!
This study has limitations. Firstly, this study included one cross-sectional study, thus increasing the possibility of bias. Secondly, our study focused mainly on the relationship between Alzheimer's disease risk and low vitamin D levels. It was unclear whether the vitamin D level had changed in further follow-up. Lastly, the patients involved in this study are mainly from Europe and America. Thus this study may not be applied to the world population.
@@dicentra7302 A reasonable take away from this study is too many of us are deficient in vitamin D and can easily avoid many debilitating conditions down the line with some cheap supplements.
@@NineSeptims Sunshine is cheaper
@@NineSeptims 125mg (5000 IU) a day got me back up to a good level.

I have serum D checked on all of my nutrition clients. In functional medicine and naturopathic medicine it's been known for a long time that serum levels below 50ng/mL are insufficient for optimum health. We shoot for 50 to 70 or 80 ng/mL. 5,000 IU daily usually does the trick. Obese clients sometimes need as much as 50,000 IU daily for a period of time to get levels high enough. As far as studies go: no money to be made means no studies done. With nutrition and supplements bad advice is given to keep us needing drugs. The pharmaceutical industry will go as far as doing studies to make supplements look dangerous. For example, they'll give rancid fish oil supplements to people and then say fish oil supplements cause prostate cancer. Or they'll give a particular synthetic form of vitamin E and say it causes death. Those studies make it in the mainstream media. In the US, there have been attempts to "regulate" supplements for our "safety." Big pharma either wants control or have them taken off the market. They even attempt having compounds classified as drugs so that a prescription is needed, which they did with NAC. Once it becomes common knowledge the value of vitamin D, my guess is they will work hard to have it classified as a drug. None of this should surprise anyone after what was done during Covid and the fraudulent studies done to "prove" that repurposed drugs aren't effective. Governments and DOD are often involved in studies to make nutrition and supplements look lame. Again, just look at what happened during Covid. It is psychopathic. Been going on long before Covid.

A woman with pancreatic cancer decided from the internet to take 50,000 IU of vitamin D daily
She got her Vitamin D level to >150 ng
10 months later, without radiation therapy and with only one dose of Chemo she was well and without symptoms
The researchers refered to her condition as "stabillized", but it seems more than stabilized, since her health improved
The researchers were considering a trial for % "cured" with extremly high doses of vitamin D
No clinical trials listed for Pancreatic Cancer with >4,000 IU of Vitamin D as of June 2018, 2 years after publication of the study
Note The MS Vitamin D dosing (see below) needed to get to individuals to 150 ng ranged from 20,000 to 140,000 IU daily
Does it have expiry date?
@@christinemarshall2726 yes in 2025
Dr. Campbell's mention of Magnesium along with Vitamin D supplementation has been very helpful to my wife and I. We both wait to take our Magnesium Citrate powder before bedtime since it's calming effect allows us to drop off rather rapidly them wake up alert. A good night's sleep has been under emphasized IMO.
The level of Magnesium in our diets has halved over the last 100 years.
But again, where is the money in Magnesium ?
Magnesium has been a huge help for me. Its my goto as soon as I have a headache or restless legs. It does help with sleep in that case.

@BubbleBurster-nv1vlhello I have MS too since1998. Recently my neurologist proposed me to try several medications because I had inflammation in my brain but I refused her treatment as side effects frightened me. I had one in the beginning of 2022 but After 1 year and a half I suddenly had a big allergic reaction which is called choc anaphylactique in French that could have killed me. So regarding this inflammation this winter, I made research on the net and I tried an homeopathic treatment that I order in Belgium because not available in France. My problems are gone with the inflammation now. It is made by a Spanish laboratory called LABOLiFE and the name of the medication Is 2LSEP. I am going to try the vitamine D3 but at what dosage please ? I hope you are Ok it,s such a difficult illness and no safe cure up to now...Good luck if you want more details about Labolife treatment I will give you some information
If you haven't heard of Dr Terry Wahls, please look her up. She was diagnosed with MS and has practically healed herself via supplementation and nutrition, her story is quite amazing. B12 and all B vitamins is also needed with people who have MS.
It is the single most important hormone D3 at 50-100 ng/ml (blood level), glutathione gets made at the upper normal levels. The biochemistry is there and clear.
Late last year, my Vitamin D3 test showed 41 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) and I was taking 5000 IU/day. I'm 70. Since I spend most of the year in the tropics of sunny Southeast Asia, I decided to do an experiment. I cut my intake of Vit D to 2500 IU to test my levels to measure the effects due to sun exposure. After a couple of months, my Vit D level plunged to 34 ng/ml -- just above the sufficiency level. It must be said, everyone here avoids sun exposure as much as possible, especially the locals, using umbrellas, wearing hats, long sleeves and pants. I always wore short sleeves shirts and no head cover. That's it then. I'm back to 5000 IU.
Your mention of the umbrellas makes me think of the Philippines. 👍👍
"just above the sufficiency level"...Is not a deficiency. You were over supplementing before.
Fasting can help with dementia and also keeps your vit D levels from being locked up in fat cells, where it is often stuck for most people today. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy.
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

My channel will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
Out of curiosity, do you eat much red meat?
@@chaseme9860 If vitamin D levels weren't historically MUCH higher than the recommended level now, maybe. The recommended levels are low.
Vitamin D deficiency is at the heart of so many chronic diseases. From autoimmune conditions to inflammation. Thank you for bringing consistent light to this topic 🙏
And they would like to stop the sun shine🤦🏼♀️ …..
High insulin is the main cause of inflammation and also a cause of low blood levels of vit D. This leads directly to dementia because constant high insulin and blood sugar is what kills off brain mitochondria over time. When you fast this goes away, and the brain can use ketones for energy which regenerates the mitochondria of the brain! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

What are you trying to say?
@@metgirl5429 what ? who is that ?
Very interesting information, thank you. In May of this year I very suddenly thought I had had a stroke. Age 63, soon to be 64, obese. Had been plagued with crushing fatigue, rapid and uncontrollable weight gain, insatiable hunger, brain fog, balance issues, and more. Stood up, almost fell down, right sided weakness, just a hot mess. Anyway long story short, my Vit D was tested and came back at the astronomical level of 6 ng/mL. My HbA1c puts me in the diabetic category (close but still technically diabetic), and my serum cholesterol is high but surprisingly not too bad considering. Oddly enough my immune system was still functioning fine, I rarely ever get sick and my bone density seemed to have survived this intact. So I immediately began taking 5000 IU Vit D/day. So it's been just over 3 months and I need to schedule follow up blood work. I've lost over 30 pounds, my brain fog has lifted considerably, balance is better, I am being very cognizant of what and how much I'm eating but I'm no longer ravenously hungry all the time. I'm very interested in the results of my blood work coming up. If I had to quantify it, I'd say I'm feeling like I'm at about 80% improved. Still have a way to go but feeling so much better. I'm a nurse. I'm reasonably well educated. And I didn't know the impact that vitamin D has.
Congrats on the good work. Good for you 😊

Vitamin D supplementation worsens Alzheimer's progression: Animal model and human cohort studies
Rai-Hua Lai et al. Aging Cell. 2022 Aug.
Free PMC article
Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency has been epidemiologically linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias, but no interventional studies have proved causality. Our previous work revealed that the genomic vitamin D receptor (VDR) is already converted into a non-genomic signaling pathway by forming a complex with p53 in the AD brain. Here, we extend our previous work to assess whether it is beneficial to supplement AD mice and humans with vitamin D. Intriguingly, we first observed that APP/PS1 mice fed a vitamin D-sufficient diet showed significantly lower levels of serum vitamin D, suggesting its deficiency may be a consequence not a cause of AD. Moreover, supplementation of vitamin D led to increased Aβ deposition and exacerbated AD. Mechanistically, vitamin D supplementation did not rescue the genomic VDR/RXR complex but instead enhanced the non-genomic VDR/p53 complex in AD brains. Consistently, our population-based longitudinal study also showed that dementia-free older adults (n = 14,648) taking vitamin D3 supplements for over 146 days/year were 1.8 times more likely to develop dementia than those not taking the supplements. Among those with pre-existing dementia (n = 980), those taking vitamin D3 supplements for over 146 days/year had 2.17 times the risk of mortality than those not taking the supplements. Collectively, these animal model and human cohort studies caution against prolonged use of vitamin D by AD patients.

@@ZooScott he's putting people crook again
I had a very sickly childhood and extended into adulthood. I even have bowed legs from lack of Vit D as a child. I started taking Vit D about 25 years ago and have only gotten sick 3 or 4 times in the last 25 years. When I caught COVID-19, it was extremely mild, and had colds and flu's that were far worse (when I wasn't on Vit D). Vit D is a miracle vitamin (or hormone). Thank you Dr. Campbell for contiuing to keep reporting on this.
My experience, as well. With vitamins, when I got covid twice over the course of two years, it was mild. I didn't even need to see a doctor. I resisted the pressure to get the jab and am so happy I did! Vitamins keep me healthy. Before taking them, many illnesses.
I took Vit D the moment the Covid narrative started. Never had any jabs and more importantly, never had Covid.
I don't think you can take too much.
@@joyceconnor2913 me too. though I watched what was going on in my apartment complex ,first, along with reading. Dr. Campbell is king....or the best...an old nurse here.
@@nv7287wrong vitamin d is also a hormone produced in the kidneys. Look it up.
My Father has what we believe to be Lewybodies Dementia. It was difficult to carry on a conversation with him, he would talk to imaginary people, sleep walk, he would sleep almost all day and he would occasionally go into what I would call a coma like state. He would be completely unresponsive. It is very scary.
We started giving him 10,000 IU vitamin D3 everyday a couple months ago and we can now carry on conversations with him, he rarely takes naps during the day He has not had a single "coma" like state since. He still has dementia and he still sleeps a lot but he is doing so much better.
Thank you Dr. Campell for this video, this has made my Fathers life much better.
Makes you conscience about your levels as it did me
I had 3 relatives (one being stepfather and step sibling) come down with Alzheimers-lived in same house for 20-25 years. When cleaning out house after last moved to nursing him, found Black Mold near a 3rd floor heating/air vent. Long term exposure to Black Mold is said to be a factor in brain diseases.
Ran into the same problem with my mother
Same here. Parents house FULL of md, but they didn't let us see it until to late. Lost our dad, I have mom staying with me, but getting her into a home, her mental state is beyond my ability to care for her.
I`m convinced the same "Israelis" who unleashed the biological attack on humanity are doing everything possible to contaminate the normal things most people eat to commit mass genocide and they very likely have some sort of preventative to protect or cure their bunch. People are absolutely clueless to the true nature of these dreadful monsters. They control every food company and the flow of misinformation in science, media, entertainment, schools, military industrial complex, chemicals we`re exposed to, the legal system, publishing, and politics. Something MUST be done to protect the people of the world!
More than likely a virus.
Brain disease run in families. Case closed.
I take 5000 iu vitamin D and 100mg K2 MK7. (That's the natural kind). My levels of vit D are 166. That's almost optimal, by the way, I would like to be a little higher, not by much, as I listen to naturpathic doctors who are well up on this, and most say 170 is optimal. I didn't catch covid, I never had a cold last winter, and I'm 76. Thank you Dr Campbell for emphasizing the benefits of this wonderful vitamin.
Would you share what brand of natural vitamin D you take?
I take 4000 in of vit D3, and also vit K and I'm 64.
The skin of 70 year old people doesn't make Vitamin D from the sun as much as that of 20 year old. 70 year old people can get only 20% of vit D from the Sun compared to young people. That's why the older you are the more you should take supplements of vit D.
@@danamarie4847 Can't speak for Cara, but I take Deal Supplement Vitamin D3+K2 2 in 1 Support softgels (5,000iu vitamin D3, 100mcg vitamin K2). Amazon (US) has a 250 count bottle priced at $18.95 USD. While I have never had my levels checked, I can say that I rarely get sick anymore. I take it along with Deal Supplement Magnesium Glycinate (750mg) to help with absorption, because I do regular 18-24 hour fasting.
We have to take care of ourselves and be responsible for our health............few docs give proper care anymore....thank you for being someone who truly cares about us and give us great information consistently!!
It’s not so much they don’t care but it’s just not part of the curriculum in medical school (like maybe one hour in six years).
Glad to see your channel still up on UA-cam DrJC. Information on the role that vitamin D plays in maintaining good health is what originally brought me to you over 3 years ago and I haven’t missed any of your videos since.
Over that time I have shared in and mirrored your “red pill” journey to a healthier skepticism of the institutions that serve us.
Thank you for all that you have given us.
Keep up the good work!
Can I quiz you? Are you being truthful?
The great Ivor Cummins has been our go to since 2020, his pod casts which covers everything, Covid, and this, especially vitamin deficiency and poor diet.

@@WillThomson-st6hm Ha! Great question! I am trying to be, but I have learned to seriously doubt even my own abilities to discern truth…
I would say the best kept secrets of the medical establishment are: Vit D, and the benefits of fasting. Neither of which your continuity doctor is going to talk to you about, because if you’re an obese, couch potato, the docs have jobs looking after you until you croak. Sad but true. Big pharma is who pays their salaries, so they have huge vested (survival) interest in keeping you as sick as absolutely possible.
Message received loud and clear over a year ago and has been followed rigorously ever since. I am not the only one and we spread your message whenever appropriate. Thank you Dr John.
have you noticed any changes?
@@noproblama9971 No, but I keep good health anyway. The only thing shocking about my 70yo blood pressure is that it generally shocks the nurse who takes it because it is what would be expected from a much younger person. My maternal side has memory loss issues but every day I thank my lucky stars that I must have got my “memory genes” from my paternal side as I seem to have the memory of an elephant and can even remember the phone numbers of classmates I went to primary school with. (I remember everything except the things I forget! Haha) It pays to be proactive in preserving health rather than being in an fortunate position wishing you had!
Thank you SO MUCH for your reports. It's extremely hard for anyone to disagree with your reports because they are based on actual studies and facts. Don't let them shut you down.
I take 5,000 iu daily - I’m 65 and healthy and active. I appreciate your report - and agree with your observations! Problem is no money to be made off vitamin D sales!
I'm 64 and I take 4000 in of vit D3 and vit K. The skin of 70 year old people doesn't make Vitamin D from the sun as much as that of 20 year old. 70 year old people can get only 20% of vit D from the Sun compared to young people.

Did you listen to John and get your jabs too?
@@francescostello1377 Thank you for that information.
@@LondonSteveLee No I didn't get any but his caution on ensuring it did not go into a blood vessel as we did not pull the syringe back added to my fears as we had people on the channel with awful side effects & some felt the effect straightaway just after being injected. I was already worried about something going wrong due to my slim size & weight & thought if any side effects were going to happen it would happen to me as I would be getting 2 or 3 times the dosage as many people. I also looked into the different types & opted for Novavax as it had dead spike protein & the body/ immune system did not have to work hard & fight it In the end Novavax never happened. Plus I knew it was a different experimental way & that gave me a reason to be cautious & a reason to be concerned as well.
One of the most common forms of Vitamin D, is D3, otherwise known as Cholecalciferol. It’s a rat poison. In fact, it was originally developed and registered as a rodenticide in 1984. It kills them because it elevates the levels of calcium in the blood, leading to acute kidney failure, and then death.
Vitamin D deficiency seems to be highly correlated with most if not all autoimmune related degenerative diseases. Sadly, once you find out you’re deficient, a lot of irreversible damage may have already occurred. I found out I was deficient when I was around 47 (I’m now 58) - much too late IMO. It may have contributed to years frequent colds & infections, allergies, back pain, tinnitus, cataracts & God only knows what else I’ll find down the road. Vitamin D deficiency seems to be at the root of most if not all autoimmune related degenerative issues. Now I get tested every year.
I didn't know there is a link between cataract and vit. D. Where could I find more info on this?
@@vyzuqui pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26124632/
Did your tinnitus get cured with high vitamin d?
@@nicolajlassen8544 No, I believe it just reduces inflammation & oxidation thereby slowing the natural degenerative process eg if you have arthritis in a joint at an early age, that joint is likely to wear out at an earlier age. Tinnitus in most cases is due to loss of hearing & the tinnitus is similar to phantom limb when a body part is lost. The brain needs to be reprogrammed to ignore the loss.
@@promacpic - You are correct in your statement but just to clarify, the role of Vitamine D specifically in immunity is not just due to a reduction in inflamation. At least the autoimmune disease might have been avoided with normal Vitamin-D levels. Autoimmune diseases are more prevalent in northern latitudes.
Very simple, excellent advice. Just reading about the importance of iodine. Became interested after your breast cancer talk/interview with Dr Eccles. The more I listen and read the more I realise just how bad the health of the wider population is and how poor our so called leaders are in guiding the masses to better sustainable better health without spend a fortune. Sorry,I forgot, governments are in the pay of the food and pharmaceutical industries. It’s up to us to look after ourselves.
Yes, my husband and I both take iodine. You can't get it from food any longer. It's shameful that more people don't know. I only found out when I learned that my thyroid wasn't working optimally after consulting with a naturopathic doctor.
I buy kelp tablets for iodine supplementation. I started after Fukushima.
You won’t go wrong on the iodine track.
My memory improved about 80%, my energy levels are now HUGE and sustained. My large goitre has collapsed...still there, but a shadow of it’s former self. My Hashimodo’s Disease has disappeared, along with visual hallucinations, brain fog + exhaustion.

people need to manage and be responsible for their own health.
There is a pervading paradigm that our presidents are supposed to lead us through life and create conversations around our personal lives.
This needs pointed out until people realize that Presidents are stewards of our government. Legislators have no right to legislate personal behaviors of society either.
Yes & so grateful ❤️ to the good docs like Dr. Campbell who are educating about nutrition and supplements with care and without financial interests. So much priceless education can be learned for free~you just have to dig a bit. I wish everyone knew what the internet can do for your health in every way if you educate yourself. To many people still hand over their health to doctors, when that’s not where it’s at! Western med is great for some things (like emergencies) but the rest is up to daily living. Our system is messed up until everyone can afford healthy food.
Thank you, once again, for your valuable information. Vitamin D3/K2 combo has been invaluable for my own overall health. Keeping my brain engaged is my top priority. Wishing peace to all throughout the world.
Thank you Dr. Campbell for your outstanding dedication to objective medical/scientific research.
What a hoot! Look up the huge number of UA-cam videos totally debunking his claims (about Covid especially). He's a disgrace to the nursing profession.

Is it likely that one could take vitamin D to a too high level. How much is too much?
My dad turns 89 today. He still walks every day on the treadmill in his garage, but more amazingly, he walks to the post box down the street, feeds the two feral cats that have adopted him, he works in his yard every day pruning plants and dead heading flowers etc. He sends us pictures of his roses that we ewww and ahhhhh over. He is sharp as a tack, still driving to Wal-mart for groceries. I would be so curious what his vitamin D levels are. Did anyone else go take their VD tablet while listening to this? LOL
I believe he knows Jesus.
He's smart to stay active and busy, with a purpose, in his familiar environment. Did you know that just by getting admitted to hospital, people with dementia show a much faster progression of disease than they otherwise would? Look it up - it's a true phenomenon. I just don't remember (oh, the irony!) what it is called. I hope he will be granted a smooth death at home - like the ones we hear about, perfectly healthy and then fall asleep and just not wake up. It's a beautiful way to go.
YES! Because of Dr John. Followed his advice.
As Liam Neeson anwered when asked about how he stays well as he gets older: " Motion is the Lotion"
Keep moving as much as you can.
.Good luck to your Dad!
Yes, just ordered some more Vit D, K2 and Magnesium.
Given the agony I’ve been through in my adult life watching my beloved Mother & Grandmother succumb to this truly heartbreaking disease one after the other - you’ve finally given me genuine hope, Dr John. All I can say is I love you ❤
Hey i hope things turn out good for you
I’m sorry for your loss.
Please May God bring you Peace and Healing.🙏
Did they get the jab?
Both my husband & I take 5000 IU daily & have done so for several years. Thanks for getting this info out to us.
It's astonishing to me that the "experts" have been telling us to eat this or don't eat that and the rates of everything seem to be constantly increasing in spite of all their knowledge and proclamations. I remember back in the 70's when my mother came home with something to replace our butter that was touted as "better" and more "healthy" and that was margarine. I recall how we liked how easy it was to spread but recoiled at the taste and we refused to eat it but over time we gradually got use to it. There are so many examples of natural real food being replaced with highly processed "food" combined with more"healthy" and "better" government recommended advice yet people are seemingly worse off the more they follow along.
Over 4 years ago I switched over to eating nothing but animal products and most have heard this called the carnivore diet but I just call it the way I eat. I'll spare you the full story but the result is at 55 the last 4 years of my life have been the healthiest of my life ever.........Do what you want but at some point if you keep doing what they tell you and you are getting worse then maybe they aren't your friend......2020 should have taught everyone this.
Very true post that resonates with me, I dont fear butter, fat on my steak or bacon. Its seems the closer I get to carnivore the happier, healthier and less hungry I am. Stable mood etc.
Same here. Only meat, dairy and eggs for the last 5 years. All autoimmune issues, digestive problems, mental health problems, skin problems and more are long gone. I'm convinced this is the natural human diet.
We are "hyper carnivores".
You’re heading for a heart attack, bowel or stomach cancer.
Animal products cause disease.
Since changing to a vegan diet 6 years ago (previously vegetarian for 50 years) I’ve never felt healthier.
I still cook lasagne, shepherds pie, curry, wraps, roast dinners, fajitas, moussaka etc. I just swap out a few ingredients.
Plus I’m not complicit in deliberate cruelty.
All comes down to money. It's just cheaper to replace real food with filler. For example, much of the cheap cheeses are filled with ca carbonate, prepped meats are filled with cheaper grain filler... etc.
Secondly, our life styles don't allow for proper meal prep. There is no mother or wife at home preparing a meal for the family from raw ingredients. We just don't have the time.
Thirdly, if everyone was eating a proper diet from raw ingredients we would really have a food crisis and a huge spike in prices.... Which causes governments to fall.
Veg oils are mitochondrial poison and a high carb diet does the same. This leads to mitochondrial death and issues like cancer and dementia. Thankfully fasting can reverse these issues and grow more mitochondria. It can even help increase blood levels of vit d in people with high insulin levels! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

My channel will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
Dr. Campbell. Just wanted to express my deep appreciation for all your material and knowledge that you share without arrogance or self serving intent. Refreshing and very much reminds me of my childhood Dr. Thank you very much for everything . 😊
My Dad is 94 and still sharp as a nail.. his memory and such is great , is VA dr found he needed more b12 and d years and years ago and he’s takes, he also has always drank milk every day.. never had heart disease diabetes etc. or cancer just some skin here and there . Been blessed
I don't think most people really know how important B12 is.
Since the pandemic, the schoolchildren in my part of Texas have been breaking bones by much lighter injuries than before. Some communities were hit harder by covid, and the parents took quarantine restrictions very seriously and the families stayed indoors. On the other hand, other communities encouraged their children to go outdoors, and ignored restrictions as much as possible. I personally know a family who moved temporarily from California to Texas so their children could live a normal life. I believe that the quarantines set up communities of color to continue to have more disease and debility than white communities, regardless of income level.
My heart aches for the health problems that are resulting from the quarantines. Two out of 550 kids in our school have cancer this year. Where’s the research? We will never know if there’s even a correlation. 😢
When will blacks stop using their skin as an excuse for EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN THAT DOESN'T GO WELL FOR THEM? We whites actually give YOU priority over ourselves!!!!!! Whites are NOT "out to get you." But you damn sure are out to get us. We've given you an unfair advantage over ourselves, but you're either too ignorant, stubborn, or uneducated to SEE IT! WTFU!
Did the 2 kids who have cancer get vaxxed ?
Consider vaxx injuries too, not just Covid. The spike proteins produced by the mRNA vaccines are toxic causing cardiac and neurological illnesses.
I've seen this in Minnesota as well.
@@glendavansickle7592 Yes
Glad you didn't get banned after that video you did, Dr John. Relieved you are still here to help us.
Hello Dr Campbell, 10,000 IU a day for me because I'm missing about 25% of the last part of my small intestine. 2,000 for my wife and we're doing good. 60 ng/ml for me and 79 ng/ml for her so I think we are doing pretty good at keeping our Vit D levels up where they should be. We both had covid at the age of 72 and it was like a mild cold, no "Vax" no special drugs and it was over in 7 -10 days.
George
Oh it’s coming back - cue the winter covid warnings in 3-2-1
Do you take Vitamin K2 as well, it ensures the calcium, assisted by the VitD supplement, goes to bones and teeth not arteries. Just a suggestion.
The ileum (the part you're missing) doesn't absorb much D. That's the duodenum and jejunum. Back off on dosing. I have seen more than enough people in my practice with the negative outcomes of excess D from supplements. Believe it or not, there is a Bell Curve to this. Too little: bad, too much: bad.
Vitamin D through UVB exposure is very important, but another reason to get sunlight is near infrared, which has huge health benefits as well.
After 3 years of govt cov"d & intervention lies, the govt is a problem, not the solution.
Please footnote the Medcram channel for a good lecture on infrared.
I wonder whether low energy light bulbs and ground source and air source heating emits as much near infrared as a glowing open fire and the old light bulbs, are these things pushed on us to make us unhealthy or am I just too suspicious
@@noelwaller4345 LED lighting gives you Nothing. Started as good intension but secondarily unhealthy, esp the bright blue range.
@@noelwaller4345I was watching a video about light, melatonin and sleep etc, a fire puts out plenty of the good light, being low down the part of the eye the light hits aids sleeping, where the sun high in the sky or overhead lights tell you it's awake time, the led bulbs don't put out anything good, the old bulbs they said did put out good light
Well said, Dr. Campbell. Almost a million suffers of dementia here in the U.K., according to news reports - an epidemic, in reality. And to think supplementing a few thousand International Units of vitamin D could reduce this appalling disease by 59%, is truly staggering.
It's an epidemic of garbage diet, promoted by the same people treating it. Some fasting can help a great deal with dementia, which is also known as type III diabetes. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.

@@LTPottenger indeed: the benefits of a spiritual practise ! (Spiritual disciplines like, fasting, yield much fruit !)
@@Davemac1116 Very true!
What's staggering is you believe that. Check the small print.
Mr Campbell needs 10,000 iu that dose is not optimal. Been proven many times. Then just miss a week every month or two. People don't know vitamin d is used to kill rats yet we use rats to experiment for humans....its still not enough. Best get sun and 5,000 iu or 10,000 to cover all deficienties
Another outstanding presentation. Keep on providing us with TRUE nutritional information.
I give my elderly mother Vitamin D every day, and take it myself. Hopefully it is working so far. She is 94 and never goes outside.
The skin of 70 year old people doesn't make Vitamin D from the sun as much as that of 20 year old ones. 70 year old people can get only 20% of vit D from the Sun compared to young people. That's why the older you are the more supplements of vit D you should take.
I'm 64 and I take 4000 iu of vit D3 as well as vit K.
Side note,since I've taken your advice,I got the best tan I've had since I was youngster, healthy and happiest I've ever been! thank you
Thank you again Dr John for your ever sensible, logical and down-to-earth video. I agree with you entirely. x
Hello from across the pond. I see so many patients here with Alzheimer’s / Dementia. It’s really very sad that profits come before patients care.
Thanks for all of your work especially during the pandemic…
I feel that regarding likely causes of dementia, the elephant in the room, is many people's high intake of sugar and carbs, particularly from highly processed foods, doing little or no exercise thus making them obese. Eat a low carb diet with as little sugar as possible, eat whole foods comprising lots of leafy greens low starchy veg with high quality protein. Do intermittent fasting or eat one meal a day. Try and do high intensity exercise resistance training with weights. Be as active as possible. As soon as you let yourself go then you massively increase your susceptibility to dementia and other debilitating brain disorders not to mention other serious medical conditions in other organs of your body.
you goy it and sit in the sun 20mins
Thank you Dr John Campbell. Thank you for your hard work in trying to inform us of this very important issue. I wish you would continue to add more to this subject. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Dr. Campbell, I appreciate your videos. The reason I gave up my doctors doing anything preventative is because they do not practice prevention. They practice what they were taught, driven by big pharma. Medical training requires a total revamp in the philosophy of medical care.
Lol.
Three years ago my son working on a cruise ship in China waters. The ship turned back to Italy. My son had a bad cold/flu on the way. When they were stationary in the home harbour staff were moved into the cabins with balconies. I adviced him to get out in his underpants and sit an hour in the sun. He was send home after three weeks, had to quarantine three weeks before he was allowed home. He witnessed that the sun not only kept him sane but he didn't pick up any more illness. Still going strong, no vaccines.
Please read post again. She was telling him to go out, get some sun to raise his Vitamin D levels while he was quarantined.
Thank You Sir,
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. It is a sad state of affairs, that money is the aim not health in our sad society. All the human suffering that could be avoided, if we but loved our neighbour as ourselves. The fact that you take the time to do this is a very loving gesture. I for one and I sure many other people appreciate it very much.
God 💟✝️🕊🙏 Richly Bless you’n’ yours Always

I dont know which I appreciate more, Dr Campbells episodes or the responses of the community!

Gluten intolerance affected my balance, memory and caused severe chronic fatigue. A brilliant doctor advised stopping gluten foods. A few years later my memory had improved so much, it’s now better than it’s been since a teenager. (8 years gluten free). I do take vit D 5000u daily and several other supplements, eat fish, stopped sugar etc. But, I Have recovered to an amazing degree. I’ve kept a journal to record my progress. I hope others will find hope with my story. 🙏🕊️🕊️. My 40 years of fatigue disappeared after only 12 weeks GF. Inflammation in the brain must have caused this too. Incredible, but true.
Yes and lyme and co disease caused a lot of my deficiencies...suss if my diagnosis of auto immune and heds being kyme and for that matter mthfr as well.
Now the mercury in the fish will kill you.
You cannot say stopping gluten cured your problems if you applied other treatments as well.
Me too. #1 thing you can do for health is go 100% gluten free. By doing this one thing it also dramatically reduces your exposure to seed oils and preservatives as well.
@@hikerJohn As symptoms improved going GF, 8 years ago, months went by, then years I tried new things, Vit D supplements, coconut oil, Tumeric etc. In April I’ve started very low sugar diet as sugar causes inflammation in the body and brain. Again some smaller improvements in memory. A keto diet is now recognized to possibly improve dementia or halt progression. This is hopeful. I’m a pharmacist as well. I share my knowledge and experience to encourage others. Lions mane mushroom is worth looking into as well. 🌻
Exactly! As a European living in the uk, I took 4,000 IU during covid by accident. When I told this to my Dr he said it is way too high of a dose. Surprisingly, for almost 2 years I never got Covid. BTW, I am not vaccinated and in my 40s. I then stopped my D for a while during Summer months and then went back on it in November last year when I got covid. I had high temperatures for 2 weeks and an awful headache. But still it wasn't as bad as the flu that followed end of December and lasted 3 weeks. I am having to have my vit D levels checked in Europe while on hold this month. I have been meaning to do it for quite some time now. I am back on my 4,000 IU. Everyone should have their levels checked a long time ago. This would have potentially saved so many ppl during covid pandemic and protect us against other diseases and cognitive declination. Thanks Doc.
This is one of my specialty areas. I’m a brain specialist from a neurodevelopment perspective and I have successfully recovered people who no longer knew what taps and door handles were for- she was driving again in three months. I used neurodevelopment and nutrition and homeopathy.
teach me the ways
Yes what is helpful. I am caring for a dementia patient
Well done! Please talk more about this.
Please tell im looking after my mum
Top 3 Medical Recommendations?
Hi John, I'm in Oz in sunny Queensland, last blood test, I was very happy when my vit D came back at 121 nmol. From what I've been reading the 50 is useless, and we should all be aiming to get between 100 and 150. I still supplement but at a lower rate.
It's not a priority because, as you indicated, certain parties cannot make huge profits, keeping people sick provides better returns.
That's stored right? What's your active D amount? Also check your RBC magnesium levels
Brrrr 🥶 too cold! 68 degrees F as I write this -- I am in Texas and it’s 95 degrees at 8 pm 😊.
Who makes a profit telling you to wear sunscreen?
When you mentioned the reduction in morbidity based on serum Vit D levels, my jaw dropped.
Thankyou, it's just starting to happen to my 96 year old Mum. Your video is valuable
Can I suggest you search for videos on UA-cam that examine the use of a ketogenic diet to treat dementia.
@@chrisminifie219Carnivore would be even better.
Check cholesterol levels . Too low is not good. The brain loves cholesterol. My MIL had dementia. Her total cholesterol was 126. Her son and daughter refused to have her taken off the statin she was on because of the massive campaign that the lower the cholesterol the better. Coconut oil has been shown to also help with symptoms of dementia.
@@TerriblePerfection I believe you are correct
@@gonzaga45377 That's really sad. Low cholesterol is far more dangerous than high cholesterol. The system is so fu**ed up and corrupt.
Many doctors are starting to call Altzhiemers Type 3 diabetes and are halting and reversing Altzhiemers by introducing a ketogenic diet. As the brain becomes insulin resistant and can no longer use glucose for energy but consumption of carbohydrates blocks the use of ketones. I highly recommend reading The Alzheimers Antidote by Amy Berger MS, CNS, NTP
All true, and fasting and a low carb diet has been shown to reverse early dementia by causing the growth of new mitochondria. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Fasting increases nitric oxide release.
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

What's MTOR?
@@LTPottenger fantastic reply thanks
@@crashnburnband You are very welcome!
Accurate
My wife and I took vitamin D on your advice at the start of Covid. Glad that we did. Thanks John.
should get D3, alongside vitamin K2.
Need some fat for Vitamin D to be adsorbed.
Thanx as always for the info. I live in Ontario Canada & asked my GP if I could get a blood test for my vitamin D levels, even if I had to pay for it. She said NO. The test is only allowed in certain conditions & I didn't qualify. I increased my intake anyway. In my opinion this is shamefull. Hate being treated like a mushroom (keep them in the dark etc). Keep the info coming. Love from Canada.❤
Appalling. I'm from Canada but live in Bangkok, Thailand currently, as I am retired. I can email a hospital here and get a Vit D3 test the next day for about $60 to $100. No questions asked. Vit D3 capsules are about the same cost as in Toronto. Vit D3/K2 (5000 IU/120mcg) compound caps, which I just bought, was $25. Reading about the incredibly poor state of health care back home is troubling, to say the least. Here in Bangkok I am surrounded by quality hospitals and can get nearly anything treated in hours or days. A TO friend of mine got his two knees replaced here -- by a Canada-trained Thai doctor within a few weeks of his diagnosis. Back home I hear it is a year or two. Frightening stuff.
That's not good re your doctor although you can get a vit D test privately
Hey, you can ask your Naturopath to send you the vit D test.
Your doctor is not telling the truth. I live in Toronto and asked for Vit D test and received it. There's a small charge for that test.
It's quite safe to take Vit D3 drops daily especially in the dark winter months.
I am glad you followed your gut instint.
I suggest you change your doctor...it is such an important vitamin...yes, just take it anyway. I take vitamin D3 K2 (both in one pill)...(you can get it in Shoppers, or any pharmacy)..it is recommended that you have the K 2 incorpoated as well.
I totally agree with you and thank you for your well researched information. How fabulous would the world be with someone like you as our leader and protector ? Unselfish and genuinely dedicated to the health of the people. ❤ Jules from Australia xx
I so enjoy your videos. I am grateful to you for taking the time to educate us about so many important health issues. I am watching from the States. God bless you Dr. Campbell.

“Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
😊👌 That's why we need vitamin D
You people and your pathetic comments. All independent thought died.
amen. no pun intended.
Never seen that quote posted before.. 🤡

Jesus Christ I'm sick of the reality of brain-deads.
Your way to explain things on papers is appealing to us & your voices is also charming to any audience.
Keep up all these good works.
I started vitamin D when you first brought the subject up a few years ago. I've never managed to get my levels checked, neither have any of my friends. We do need a study to get this sorted, it's so important. Would it be possible to crowd fund one, or is that completely impractical? Love your videos, glad you are still on air. Keep fighting. x
Great idea! 👍🏼
Thank you for this. I think vitamin D is such a missed opportunity. Low cost, low risk, potentially high reward. The NHS should be testing everyone. It’s such a public health failure that they’re not. Arguably we might want government to step in where there aren’t the economic rewards that drive private healthcare but it seems like public healthcare is captured and useless
Problem it's such low reward for Pharma and the government.
Too right 👍. Even if they gave it out to everyone without testing it'll still do more good than harm.
I tried to find out about testing for vitamin d in the UK. I was told if a sample was sent for testing it would be rejected bc everyone in the UK is deficient
@@suzannax Dr Campbell admits supplementing vitamin D being beneficial, is an assumption.
Smashing the engine check light fixes the engine check light flashing but doesn't fix the engine's problem. Low vit D means you have a problem.
Thank you, keep up the good work. Do not underestimate how many get this info because it does get passed to others not watching this channel.
As knowledge of the importance of Vit D became more known in Canada, more people started being tested by their GPs and it was consistently found that the majority of people were deficient. The response in BC to this, was the government stopped funding Vit D testing by GPs. Only specialists can order the test, and if ordered through a GP, it has to be paid for by the patient. As I understood from my then outraged GP, the explanation was that Vit D deficiency is so common, that it should be assumed patients should be supplementing, so no need to test. But then again, BC is one of the very few health authorities in the world which still won't allow health care workers who did not take the cvd19 shots back into the workplace, despite a desperate shortage of doctors and nurses.
NZ is the same. Not allowed back without the vaccine and it is still being promoted here and encouraged.
Part of the problem is that people have insulin resistance and high insulin levels. This keeps vit D locked up in the fat cells where it cannot be used. Fasting can reverse this and also has huge effects for preventing dementia, which is a metabolic disease and often called type III diabetes. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.

Fasting is a natural state for a human to be in - constant snacking and 3 meals a day, especially high carb is not. Excellent reply and great info with sources too!
Dr. Campbell,
how will medicine for $ keep you perpetually ill? 🤔 🤡
Incredible.
My mom , my grandfather, my uncle 😢Dementia from my mom side 😢I was the one taking care of my mom. It was very hard
🌹
God bless you. I know it was challenging, I'm sure she appreciated. Even if you both became frustrated often. ❤
Dr. Campbell, Thank you for your insights. I am definitely going to up my intake of vitamin D and start K2 as well. Health care and related industries really are, all about the money, that's why the information from you and other doctors like yourself is so important to society at large. Thank you again for your "Smarts" and a willingness to share.
Glad you are back On, Dr. Campbell! We are paying attention to this and greatly appreciate your efforts.
My 30 year old daughter was told she has a severe vitamin D deficiency. She's a teacher in Beijing, China and works indoors all day. She started getting more sun and taking vitamin D3 5000.
I hope it's not too late. Thanks for this video.
❤
5000 mg of D3 is not very much. Tell her to wash it down with extra virgin olive oil.
Your daughter should be taking vitamin K2 also. Please read some of the comments. Please look up dr. Berg on UA-cam. He knows a lot about this subject.
If you don't take the K2 with D3 you get too much calcium in your blood. I'm elderly and having a hard time.
@@steffifewkes2087 depends on what she is eating, fermented foods have lots of K2, eggs have good amount and beef liver and meat have some too
Hi Dr John I have been taking vitamin D3 and k2 for a few months now since I’ve been listening to your talks,since coved I’ve felt so tired and brain fog ,the past month I’ve felt a lot better getting my life back I put it down to the vitamins thank you keep on doing the good work love Angela Scotland x
I've followed your Vitamin D analysis since you first mentioned it in 2020 Vey valuable. Thank you.
Vitamin D is also a surrogate marker for metabolic health, so the more metabolically healthy you are the better your vitamin D tends to be. Alzheimer’s disease is linked to insulin resistance and is also known as type 3 diabetes. Overweight, I could never get my vitamin D up even supplementing. When I lost weight and improved my metabolic health my Vitamin D went up. Staying metabolically unhealthy and taking loads of vitamin D does not solve the problem. You need both to have a healthy population!
Vitamin d deficiency is like the engine check light, there is something wrong.
Supplementing is like sticking tape over the light so as not to see it flashing.
All true, and fasting is the best way to quickly reverse these issues! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Fasting increases nitric oxide release.
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Thanks to social media. We now have choice and access to information. Thank you Dr Campbell
You are one of the most important and truly influential people in the world today. Thank you for your integrity and your approach.

Thanks to your earlier video on Vitamin D, I yesterday reordered my D + K tablets
I have looked after people with dementua and also Parkinson's in recent years (in their own homes) what sticks out is the obsession for low fat "slimming" diets that persists, particularly for women. I remember looking at one clients cookery book shelf and having an ah ha moment. My friend who died, hale and hearty, at 96, reckoned whatever it is that strips the "far" from "low fat" foods also strips the fat from the brain. She loved butter, fatty lamb and pork.. ❤
The saturated fat issue has been shown to actually not cause heart disease - as looks like your friend might have known.
In fact we need to get rid of low fat goods (and consume the full fat healthy ones) due to the fact that they increase sugar in those foods.
That increases insulin - inevitably insulin resistance increases also - and chronic inflammation.
That all leads to diabetes, heart disease etc....
The food industries have been dishonest to us for the last 50 years.
'Vegetable' oils - 'sunflowet' oils etc, are NOT what we are told - they are seed oils - unnatural and processed - give exessive Omega 6s which are also inflammatory.
(Just sharing what I learned from Dr Eckberg and Dr Berg on yt 🙂 2 other fantastic doctors lol)
(Ps Btw - nutritional fat does not make our body fat. Its the carbs and insulin that make us put weight on)
Right you are. My husband’s eldest sister is 96 and has perfect health - apart from the fact she uses a stick to walk. She ate tons of cakes and ate a lot of butter. However she rarely took a drink and never smoked.
In my opinion, the habits of people with a very good genotype should not be benchmarks for assessing health habits for average people. They are simply chosen by fate and could do more
Many studies point to the opposite- high fat diets cause vascular disease which in turn causes dementia.
Thanks Dr. John, still grateful to be following you since Covid.
Dr John is the best doctor I've ever had. He has so many patients, but there is no one in front of you in the waiting room. Every time UA-cam right on in. Ha! Ha! Ha!
❤John ❤
He’s not a doctor! He’s a PhD
You've convinced me. The risk reward ratio appears to be massive. I've been taking D3, K2, and a magnesium complex for a few weeks now. Haven't noticed any negative side effects but seem to have a little more energy throughout the day (I'm 70 but still working 40-50 hours in a manual job).
Can anyone share which natural foods we can get plenty of V-D from ?
as opposed to the pill form / vitimans etc . . . . THANK YOU
@@poom641Vitamin D is most easily made by your own body through sun exposure. You'll need 1 hour a day with most of your body exposed to the sun and it'll make 20,000 i.u., naturally--no, NOT too much. Otherwise, cod liver oil is a traditional source of vitamin D.
@@poom641 Natto is one food i can think of but you can UA-cam it
Your an inspiration xo
which preparation are you taking?
I was looking in Hollanld & Barrett (UK) & none of the Vit D's had K2 included. I was perscribed some 'adcal-D3' from the GP for ostoeporosis risk... It contains calcium carbonate (chalk) and 200iu or 5mg of D3. Not worth the money for the perscription
I realised I had a Vitamin D deficiency last year, I suffered a lot especially in the winter months. So I started taking Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 supplements together earlier this year, Vitamin K helps calcium to go to the correct places in your body and not to your brain (from what I read). I feel better and noticed an improvement in my skin too.
Thank you Dr. John for being a voice of reason. I definitely attribute taking higher levels of vitamin D to staying healthy on many fronts.
Outstanding as always! I learn so much from your videos to help myself be informed, friends & family members too! Thank you for the continued quality information!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this vital information. My GP (Australia) just informed me 2 weeks ago that I have to drop my current 4000iU per day to 2000IU. Last week my neurologist told me that taking too high a dose can be dangerous. I have MS. I will be continuing with my regime of 4000IU per day as I have faith in your up to date research more than I have in my doctor’s pharmaceutical company influenced and out of date knowledge.
I wish reports would stop including 'fortified' foods in their recommendations. Fortified with synthetics only should not count.
Very timely and good advice. Thank you for caring about the health of individuals. Not every bit of advice is applicable to every person. Dr. John is very into population studies so his recommendations are based on studies, not individual cases. He is very careful to say what he does and believes is personal.
Thanks for this information. Clear numbers are important.
Great information, something I've been banging on about to my friends and family for several years now, not just regarding dementia but for preventing many other chronic conditions that seem to be strongly associated with vitamin D deficiency (type 2 diabetes, depression, most cancers etc). It's important to note that exposure to the sun needs to be direct (ie not behind a window) and without any sun block (for a period of time). Essentially, don't let your skin start to redden, but build up gradually day by day. The sun needs to be more than 45 degrees above the horizon to allow the vitamin D-forming UVB rays to pass through the atmosphere, so obviously you might wish to avoid the midday sun in the middle of summer, safer nearer to 11am or 3pm: the rule of thumb is that "your shadow needs to be shorter than your height" which means the sun is really only going to be useful for vitamin D, here in the UK, between about late March and early October and the more skin you can expose, the more you'll produce.
As for dementia being irreversible, cognitive improvement has been demonstrated in Alzheimer's patients in a study, not related to vitamin D, but aiming to reduce the body (and brain) stores of aluminium, an element that has also been associated with dementia; aluminium from all sorts of environmental sources that most of us are exposed to (if we don't try to avoid them). Dr Chris Exley, when he was a Professor at Keele University, demonstrated this using a safe elimination method whereby the Alzheimer's Disease patients drank a litre of high-silicon mineral water (easily available in many UK stores, needs to have >30ppm or 30mg/litre of "silica") for 12 weeks. Out of 15 participants, clinically-relevant improvement in cognition was shown in 3 of the patients, and for some of the others their condition failed to progress any further. The paper is called "Silicon-Rich Mineral Water as a Non-Invasive Test of the ‘Aluminum Hypothesis’ in Alzheimer's Disease ".
Alzhiemers is herpes simplex 1 inflammation. Look it up. They hide it because herpes is a cash cow but this one is pretty undeniable. How much proof do they need? They get a bunch of proof and pretend it doesn't exist. HSV1 DNA found in all the plaques which are just a response to the viral inflammation. A protective mechanism. How inflammation is the body's way of healing but too much can be bad thing? Plaques are probably the same but they aren't the original trigger or cause.
People with mental disorders like borderline personality disorder go on to develop dementia later in life meaning the symptoms predate the amyloid plaques
BTW, search the article called 'BLOTS on a field'. 30 years of amyloid plaque Alzhiemers research is based on flat out fabrication and fraud.
Herpes is a cash cow for Pharma. The body doesn't attack itself, it is attacking the inflammatory nerve viruses! What they do is try to hide it by only testing their test subjects for 1 - 3 of the 8 herpesviruses, often leaving out the most common and then saying there's no correlation because not everyone has that particular herpesvirus.
What brand, please.
@@None-y2f I beleve Fiji water contains silica.
Love your videos, very informative ❤
Thank you John. Chin up, you seem quite down sometimes, but you are having a positive effect. I've been taking supplements since I first came across your channel during the pandemic. I manged to get covid four times (one may have been a false positive) despite living alone and being somewhat paranoid in my interactions, but I would like to think that I fought them off due to my healthier immune system after listening to you laying out facts and discussing them in an open and very intelligent way. Thank you.
John, possibly you might want to look into the correlation between the increase in statin use and the lowering of cholesterol in relation to dementia. Also, the lack of correlation between the levels of Total and LDL cholesterol and incidence of heart issues
We suspect that our father's dementia was a side-effect of long term statinuse...no evidence of it in his family line.
Thanks Dr Campbell, for being the person you are.
Thank you so very much for all your amazing help ❤
Thanks John. It does make me wonder how many other illnesses are caused by a Vitamin or mineral deficiency. Perhaps the medical profession should do a comprehensive set of blood tests first in the assessment and examination phase, before diagnosis and the prescription of pharmaceutical drugs.
That's not their purpose. It's to promote pharmaceuticals.
We are poisoned from birth via 💉💉’s made and kept sick for profit! The vaxxes affect our brains, teeth, eyes, bones, etc. It’s true!
