I am an apothecary and the know littles at UA-cam took down two of my very informative videos. I currently have the best cure I know of. It works, is cheap, and safe.
@FoxIslanderSteve , this isn't about whether the doctor has it right or wrong. It's about censorship. About someone deciding for you, what information you may look at. They are taking away your right to decide based on all the information out there. Main-stream medicine gets very little correct, yet we are expected to believe them without good evidence. UA-cam, google, facebook, twitter - nothing but book-burners promoting the propaganda of their choice.
Retired research chemist here. Just wait until Dr Been starts educating us on vitD and cancer prevention. My hope is that in one hundred years from now medicine will be health promoting rather than disease reacting. Big pharma is going to fall down when we learn how to trust our innate systems and strengthen them.
Look for an eBook on kindle called the Optimum Dose. It's written by an MD who practices what he preaches. By the by vitamin d3 is not a vitamin it's a hormone. We can't manufacture vitamins but our bodies make D3 every time we go out in the sun!
@@cyclist5000 Please see my friend, the late Dr. Bob Heaney's lecture on optimal D3 intake: ua-cam.com/video/B9SNfrE7P1s/v-deo.html. And Dr. Bruce Hollis' talk on vitamin D and prostate cancer progression.
I already do that with God's medicine medicinal herbs. These herbs are proactive and not reactive. They work by rapidly boosting your immune system and helping your lungs.
@@wattyler9764 true but modern man cannot synthesize enough of it because we wear clothes & sit in front of computers instead of being outside naked everyday.
Yes, he is on top of things. Also, 20 years ago I worked in a research department and one of the PhD's was doing Vit D research. His group's final recommendation was to take Vit D3 everyday! How do med drs still overlook the importance of this. I know they test for it routinely but don't communicate the importance of it to parents.
I`tell you why... Vit D acts as a real fighter against CODIV and its know it works like a charm as a Immunity modulator. Its is widely know for decades buuuuut... its really really cheap. Thats the problem. As many of the proved treatments that are available and used fro underground MDs (who migh loose their license for doing it ) vit D is not mentioned in maindstrems media because is a cheap vitamin (is not even considered a drug ) And the medical stablisment dont promote anything like that. Take for instance REMDECIVIR which has really really mild efffect on the course of the disease, is $4000 dlls on pilll.... Pharma is the business of death... And this virus is going to makke them trillions. You`lll see.
I have been watching Dr. John Campbell since February- the best for getting the truth about Corvid 19 without any media hipped. The pharmaceutical companies have bought our US government- including Congress and the President by giving hundred of thousands to their campaign. They will never mention a vitamin to take. It might hurt their lobbyist money. Do you know why we in US have the highest price on medications. Other countries negotiate the cost of drugs but not us. Pharmaceutical comparison can charge as much as they want since our government is bought by them. As a result Medicare is having financial problems due to the high price.
I have seen most of your excellent videos. When UA-cam removes any of them, it is an exercise of pure evil on their part. God bless you for what you do. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA Retired surgeon
No idea. According to UA-cam, people flag these as inappropriate. UA-cam removes them. We make an appeal to UA-cam. Their people review the video, and so far, in fifty percent of our videos they come back and declare them inappropriate for the community. I think UA-cam team members are not medically educated, hence, they can't make good decisions.
From what I’ve heard, they take down material that disagrees with the WHO or CDC. Right or wrong, hcq promotion disagrees with those entities and as such gets taken down.
Guess people are going around and reporting the video and then it just gets removed - there seems to be a lot of people who don't want Vitamin D to be mentioned
There is an interesting debate as to whether these platforms are becoming curators of information instead of free speech platforms, and whether they therefore should be held legally liable for their content as a result of this (for which I have heard that that they are currently not liable because of the idea that they were originally free speech platforms). Currently they are having their cake and eating it.
@@Rebelz173 I take 10,000 iu daily, and the family all on it too, for years now. Bolus is good to 50,000 if there are any signs of infection. Twice my son started with something, I gave him bolus of D and A and also once vitamin C drip, and he was completely cured the next day.
Interesting... This clearly explains why the Black Community has been hit harder than others. Vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic levels and has been for some time in the entire population. When you couple this with melanated skin I'd be willing to bet that a larger % of us have a Vitamin D deficiency than the population at large. The answer is to tell every person of color you know to make sure their vitamin D is on point. Good Video.
Sprinkle in horrible diets with primarily acidic foods and you have the perfect recipe for sickness, viruses, autoimmune diseases and for cancer to thrive!
It certainly explains part of the issue (look at paper Dr shows: 15.6% relative risk increase with Vit-D deficiency). But it's not the entire explanation. For that, look at how Black people are treated.
Thank you for your wonderful lecture! Im a vitamin D fanatic, prescribing it to my patients, telling them "it's a vitamin that brings back the power of your health!"
The old timers in Maine USA used to say if you lived through March you had another year! Winter is the dyin' time! This has been known for ages. One of the theories is lack of sunlight!
10 minutes of sunshine should give 20,000 IU of VD (Vit D.) Take your woolly hat off and expose your sweaty face for 10 minutes in the bleak watery southern hemisphere sun.
Thank you. The way you explain the medical studies really makes it easy for regular people to understand. Such explanations are rarely ever seen in the mainstream, so they reveal as little as possible, so not to expose their lies or cover ups.
Can you take this one level deeper and talk about how important cholesterol is to make Vitamin D? Also, can you address how the toxic sun screen lotions that have been pushed by society are partially responsible for not making Vitamin D, due to blocking the sun on our skin. So 4 issues decrease the ability to make Vit. D..1. Sun Exposure by where we live. 2. Sun Exposure not making Vit D due to sun screen 3. Dark skin, which makes Vit. D slower 4. Taking a pill that decreases the creation of cholesterol also decreases the body's ability to make Vit D.
Please discuss obtaining vit D from drinking cow's milk. Is this method only, sufficient? How much is required to drink daily for recommended daily intake of vitamin D? Consider trim and standard variation of cow's milk.
Also - the time of day of sun exposure is a factor - few people know that ultraviolet B light is what creates the reaction in the skin that leads to vitamin D, not UV A, and UV B is completely blocked by the atmosphere if the sun is below about 45 degrees above the horizon. So you need middle of the day sun exposure even in summer, not early morning or late afternoon.
Kevin Slattery. Are they claiming vit d content? Have you seen how most dairy cows are kept and fed! In open barns and on processed fodder. Where's the sunlight?
Excellent, clear instruction; love the visual representations. I've been taking extra Vitamin D since Feb. Big difference to my overall well-being, esp. mental health. Had heard it may help with covid-19 & you have confirmed it. Thank you.
Living witness! Overall, I have excellent bloodwork, but I am vitamin D deficient. I Eat primarily vegetarian with fish a few times a month. I was on a juicing and on healthy detox when I got sick with Covid. My immune was high!! I had the death of the flu symptoms and just recently got over pneumonia! In talking with the State heath agency on my follow up call (they call you at HOME) she literally said that I had the worse symptoms that she’s heard in her months of making those calls. I had the ICE cold chills, fever, drenched sweating 24 hours a day, severe muscle pain and sharp pain in my blood, poor vision, malaise, scalp issues and excessive dandruff, loss of appetite and the inability to stay awake. Those symptoms lasted 10 days! I ended up in the ER where they found pneumonia in my lungs! I had every bad symptom there is, however my body/immune system was able to overcome the pneumonia at home w just a round of antibiotics. The pneumonia is what causes people to have to go on ventilators. It was harrowing and scary experience. I kept reminding myself it’s the flu, you can and will get better. Thank God I have immunity for a few months. My body and mind need time to heel. Stay safe. Wear your mask, get lots of sunshine and double up on your Vitamin D! 💚💚💚
Imagine if the population all had enough vitD..............perhaps..........no major virus, no social distancing, no lockdowns, no economic disaster??? Just think about that for a moment.
yeah well some doctors just can't help being good decent helpful people providing legitimate help to us.... so you tube flags them and threatens them... for being decent human beings!
Many doctors who advocate for low carb and keto diets have talked about the importance of vitamin D in combination with vitamin K for cardiovascular health.
Philip Robinson Yes. I massively improved my I B D (Crohns) ten years ago from very low vitamin D to normal + and hugely improved my health so that I was able to stop steroids and avoid the immunosuppressants that I had been told to take.
I suffer from an autoimmune and inflammatory bowel disease called ulcerative colitis, my symptoms were 80-85% manageable with normal treatment but ever since I started taking vitamin D in February, my symptoms are almost completely gone. I feel like my old self before I got diagnosed in 2015, I haven’t taken immunosupressants in months (after consulting my doctor of course) and I am doing pretty okay
I love you!! You're a great teacher. I will have to check out your website. It would be good if you post all your videos on website so don't lose content on UA-cam. It helps us all.
Every caring doctor in the world should watch and learn and apply Dr Been's understanding and experience of how the human body actually works. Many allopathic doctors know absolutely nothing about nutrition and health. Thank you, Dr Been. You are an amazing altruistic gift to humanity. Dr Irene James (PhD).
As a health coach with specialized training in functional medicine I have a protocol that I put together to help people fight Covid should they contract the virus. Since Feb I followed my own protocol as a prevention, but yet on June 17th I woke up with a 99.1 fever and rapid heart rate of 100-120bpm. My normal resting heart rate is always in the high 50s to low 60s so I knew something was wrong. I immediately went into isolation and on the 2nd day my back pain was so severe I went to the ER. I'm 55 years of age in good health, workout daily, and have no underlying medical issues. However, they checked out my heart just to be safe and all was fine and the test for Covid came back negative. I went home and remained in isolation and then went to the urgent care on the 4th day and tested positive. I lost sense of taste on this day as well and everything had an ammonia like smell to it. My fever stayed in the 99.1 to 101 range with it averaging around 100.5. I didn't take anything for pain or fever for the first 3 days and I am here to tell you that was a big mistake because I think I caused undo stress on my body from the rapid heart rate and severe back and leg pain. Finally on day 4 I took 1000mg of Tylenol and I literally felt the pain leaving my body within about 15 minutes. As a health nut I am totally against taking medications unless absolutely necessary and please believe me this was necessary. I was scared to death the entire time because I knew this virus can effect people differently. Everything from no symptoms to death so I lay there every night wondering if I would wake up the next day. So, what did I do and what were my symptoms? Low grade fever, muscle aches the first 3 days and then I started taking Tylenol as needed. Most of the time I didn't have to take it but every 12-20 hours or so. I lost sense of taste and my metabolic rate was through the roof hence the reason for the rapid heart rate. This is due to adrenaline and cortisol your body pushes out when fighting an infection. I was basically in fight or flight mode for 12 days and I lost 9 pounds. I also had a mild cough and when I would take a deep breath I could feel the mild tightness in my lungs so I made it a point to do deep breathing exercises every couple of hours or so. On day 12 I was growing weary because nothing was improving or getting worse. I was stable, but yet getting very discouraged that I was not getting better. So, at 2:12am in the morning I prayed to God and asked Him to heal my body. I asked Him to renew my faith and I needed to know that He was real in my life so I called on the name of Jesus. Every night leading up to that night my fever would spike anywhere from 100.5 to 100.8 and then I would have to take Tylenol. That night I prayed at 2:12am because I saw my fever creeping up from 99.1 to 99.4 and I thought, here we go again so I prayed and prayed for God to show Himself to be real and I asked Him to make this virus go away by 3:00am. Well, that was only 48 minutes, but I didn't want to make it that easy for God and I wanted a set time so that I would know it was God if indeed He healed me. I then took my temperature at 3:00am and about fell out when it read 98.9. Instead of creeping up to 100.5 to 100.8 it reversed by half a degree in 48 minutes. I cried like a baby and went to sleep and woke up the next morning around 8:00am and my temperature was 97.7 and it has been normal every day since then and all symptoms left and that was 8 days ago now. In those 8 days I have gained back 4 of the 9 pounds I lost and I thank GOD for showing up for me! I know some people will say it was a coincidence, but to me God showed up in 48 minutes and He stomped on that virus. I was at the time more spiritual and I know that God loves all, but that night I called on Jesus and He showed Himself to be real and He did so in 48 minutes. Yes, I am excited because I have experienced the power of God! So, I did take vitamin D3/K2, astaxanthin, R-Lipoic Acid, vitamin C, NAC, vitamin A, E, and omega 3s to help control inflammation. The virus never took over my lungs and my immune system never overreacted to cause a cytokine storm. However, keep in mind that I had been taking all these supplements like clockwork since Feb, but yet I still contracted the virus. Did they help keep me from getting a severe case? Who knows, but I give all the credit to God either way and I thank Him for showing up in 48 minutes to clear my body of this virus and I am here to spread the message of prayer. Just pray and ask God for healing because if He will do it for me He will do it for you! Praise God and peace to His people on earth. Thank you Jesus for what you have done for me and I pray that anyone that reads this message that you will protect them from this virus or heal them like you did me! Move for them Father and show yourself to be real in their lives as well. Amen!
Total Body Fitness i am not a medical person but I think the tylenol does nothing and may be dangerous as it gives a false sense of security. It does seem ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine do more than just cover up symptoms. And could even be used together! Vitamin D of course is VITAL. Glad you pulled through!
Of the 4200+ known religions, which God are you referring to please? Furthermore, when did you join that religion and what, or who, made you choose it, over all others? Just curious to know. Thanks.
I am always happy to hear similar information from several doctors. When several doctors or scientists are thinking along the same lines, it gives me more reason to think that it is something that needs to be taken seriously.
From what you and Dr.John Campbell say about vitamin D is that vitamin D is both an anti-viral and anti-inflammatory at the same time. This explains why Vit D deficiency seems to be a life or death issue.
I worked in hospice for 18 years. Even tho there were very few times an actively dying patient had a blood draw & a Vitamin D level was done, I noticed the few patients that did have it done were ALL very low in vitamin D...just something I noticed.
I have know about D3 and sunlight for 50 years, it applies to many infections and explains loss of herd immunity in winter for colds and standard flu. As for skin type it also explains Type II diabetes prevalence and broken bones in Birmingham UK for example. What a conductor is to an orchestra so D3 is to the activation of your immune system and smooth elasticity of the lining of your blood vesicles relating to your autonomic nervous system (blood pressure control and many other critical functions). NHS learned about D3 in June 2020 like 50 years too late. WHO are mu99ets their offices in Zurich should be *forced* closed.
@@AI_Flight_Engineer I have been taking vitamin D since I was a baby as my mom said she started giving it to me when I was 10 days old and have continued to this day...now D3 and K2!
@age 76, I'm staying happy & super healthy doing exactly as you are teaching! Thank you for taking your valuable time to share your knowledge & wisdom with us! I'll be sharing with friends & family! 😀👍🦋⚘
You Tube took down some of Med Cram's videos too, and later put them back up. I had zinc and vitamin D on board when I got Covid 19 in March, and I believe it made a difference in severity and survival. I also had azithromycin and added other supplements, including high dose oral Vitamin C when I got sick. Thank you so much for doing this video!
We also need to increase what we call "normal levels" in the US. Many people are so. This is how people are more at risk for developing something like ME/CFS. I live with just so many symotoms & have researched all of this for myself....but you know really this is basic medical knowledge...doctors don't think about all this....I'm doing all I can to get my levels of my low levels....especially low b12 thiamine Vit D....others.. I have mini cytokine storms all the time....
We need more guys like him. The evil force behind covid-19 will soon diminish. As soon you are healthy, getting your vitamins : A, C and especially D, then we shouldn't have a problem with our immune system. I believe it's the misinformation on the news that caused the whole fear and that's where people might get sick because of the repetition of bad information on a subconscious level. Soon, we will be awakened. Just a matter of time . Thanks again for your phenomenal video. - Real D
Doc, thank you again for the knowledge. Personal testimony, few times I was ahead of the game with regard to preventing covid19 complications, this is because I have been learning so much, the labs, imaging and symptoms and therapeutics that we have for now, thereby I am able to execute high quality care to my patients. Again, thank you!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about everything you so clearly explain. I email this to the rest of my family but I doubt anyone will be interested like You and me! Thank You !!!!!
This is a good an informative Article! So a lot of people reading this will rush to supplement with Vitamin D! But then it would make a lot of sense to to make sure readers will be advised to take adequate Vitamain K2 to avoid permanent overdosing with Vitmin D, since without K2 there is a very high risk of arterial calcification and brittle bones!
@@msmontana1961 When Vitamin D was first discovered, they also noticed, that in large quantities it also could be used as Rat Poison! The rats would die by calciefied blood vessels! Therefore it was decided to limit the daily intake recommendation to 400 IU! So today, due to more research, the reccommnendation has been increased I think up to 5000 IU, but than Vitamin K2 is essential to avoid slow Blood vessel calcification and to promote bone health! I just made this comment, for I think it is not a good idea to recommend to take more Vitamin D without pointing out the danger and what has to be observed and added, to be on the safe side!
@@freddy2011A I would imagine that sunlight-derived D would be safe at high levels. A half our can give you 10,000 IU I think. . I wonder if sunlight D is safer than suppliments, or what. It's hard to believe the body would make a harmful dose in a half hour.
Per my mother...Black people in the US survived in 1918 because they all took cod liver oil during the winter. Cod liver oil is almost pure vitamin d..
That is great info and darker skin people need to take vit d supplement to help them prevent all respiratory virus and greatly helps body immune system
Dr. Been, Thank you, for your sthetic and valuable information....as infographic presentation... I appreciate all visual explainations... All doctors must be developt this way to inform to the people. Congratulations!
I had suspected covid in early March, couldn’t get tested at that time unfortunately - also had my vitamin d level checked in November, it was high - my vitamin d always seems to be slightly high. I got pretty sick in the second week of infection after initially feeling like I just had a mild cold - might’ve been that high vitamin d that kept me out of hospital. I also had my CRP checked a few weeks after infection and it was very low, my CRP is also usually very low which might be related to the vitamin d. I have had ongoing relapses and long term symptoms though which has been worrying and a huge pain in the ass. I was also taking NAC and zinc picolinate before I got sick, just as part of my winter flu prevention regimen.
Dr. Been: Thank you for another terrific video! Do you think it's ok for an overweight male adult to take 8,000-10,000 I.U. per day of D? I realize this is considered a high dose, but given the tendency for D to be sequestered in adipose tissue -- and the variability in absorption from person to person and within an individual over time -- might it be prudent to err on the side of taking 'too much' D? I should note that the person in question (a family member) takes 90mcg of MK7 per day.
There was a doctor experimenting with D and made a mistake in mixing his dose. He took something like a million units per day for weeks before discovering his error. D is not dangerous like big pharma wants us to think it is. For example: 15-20 minutes of all over body sun exposure will generate 20,000 units. So how much do we produce when working all day in the sun? Our bodies know what to do.
see Dr John Campbell Dr Sehult Medcram in youtube they are also really good source can try it ou once see the videos from january 2020.Also a big thanks for Dr Been also....
From one of your early videos, I came to know bout the possible usefulness of VitD 3 against the corona virus and started on a dosage of 2000 IU per day via tablets. After three days of usage I had a most terrifying experience at around mid morning. I developed blind spots which could not be moved around and also an over lay of a geometric design of a sort of cross hatch pattern which also could not be moved around. , This experience brought me into a near panic state which living in a third world country could not be attended to , there being no medical facilities that could be referred to as hospitals and all private clinics including the two in my building being shut down due to the epidemic. The experience lasted for about fifteen minutes after which all was perfectly normal. The experience was repeated the next day and for three days after at precisely the same time of the same duration. A Google search produced nothing and the doctors in my building had never heard of any such side effect of Vit D3.As the only new medication that could have brought this experience on was obviously the Vit D , I discontinued its use on the fourth day . I was pleasantly surprised and greatly relieved to not have a repeat of the experience after stoppage of the Vit D intake. After much deliberation with the local chemist, a dosage of 800 IU was suggested and I resumed intake with no ill effects, with the possible exception of greatly disturbed sleep. There does not seem to be even the very slightest awareness of this side effect of Vit D 3 even among the doctors consulted or on the Net or in the massive books on medicines , their uses, side effects etc etc. I thought you might be interested to know of my experience and that it could possibly be of some use.
Vivian Astridge It’s possible your supplements may have been contaminated or contained more ingredient than what is on the label causing an OD. Labdoor website tests supplements and does not charge a fee to view the info. While some of their tests are not current, it did help me to find manufacturers that cared about quality and had low contamination. It was eye opening to see how prevalent low levels of contamination are. I was involved in supplement manufacturing in the 80s and found that supplements that didn’t pass quality were sent to other countries for sale. I was going over some info recently and found that this is still taking place.
Sounds maybe like you maybe had a migraine with aura? It’s called Scintillating Scioma. They can happen with or without pain. Can also give you the blind spots. I’ve had that before, I suffer from migraines. Also, best to take Vitamin D3 in the morning and not at night as they can disturb sleep if taken at night.
@@time_traveller3 Thank you for your comments. The terrifying symptoms experienced did not include migraine symptoms . I have not suffered from migraine at any time though very very rarely slight headaches have occurred. There can be not doubt that the symptoms were in fact caused directly by the vitamin intake as these vanished on discontinuance of the vitamin D 3. Not all side effects are listed in any pharmacopoeia. I hope my comments prove useful to anyone experiencing similar symptoms of which doctors are unaware.
We can use our cellular immunity phones to avoid catching it when talking to people. And we can use our humoral immunity to help us laugh and stay positive.

Do you have any idea what the odds are of a random person going to a random doctor or hospital in a random city in the U.S. would end up with treatment by a doctor that is not up on the current state of the art protocols, that you present, and would only provide ordinary treatment, based mostly upon only the results of full blown double blind studies done on COVID-19 patients, based on an excessively conservative philosophy, and thereby not give that person the best chance for a positive outcome with minimized damage to the body? What is a person to do if this happens?
My aunt had covid in March. (Few weeks feeling bad, is 100% now) Her dr recommended vitamin d, c and b12 for her. I was amazed and grateful to the dr. Pretty sure that’s the exception.
First my OB/GYN and then a gerontologist stressed taking vitamin D supplements in my early 50s. I’ve been on 5000 to 10,000 units ever since. I am now 67 and very seldom get sick. I am pale redhead in the southern US so get plenty of vitamin D from the sun. how long I stay outside varies given how quickly I burn from the sun, but I just sent this video to at least three of my friends and my husband because I believe and agree with him about the importance of c reactive protein and vitamin D. I’ve known about it for years Ive paid out-of-pocket to have my c reactive protein tested when insurance companies wouldnt cover it: I want to know what the basic inflammation levels of my body ate! it helps to know all this. knowledge is power!
@@toddjacksonpoetry probably perfect, I'm Puerto Rican, 114 pounds 5' tall and spend time in sun, still need 8000IU to maintain level at 43. The darker you are the less you absorb from sun. I was deficient for years thinking sun was enough. Black people need 2hours per a white person's 15 min! Every dark person who doesn't spend 2 hours a day in the sun, every day of their life, should assume they are deficient.
Dr. Been, you are the KING! I remember you discussing this mechanism of action of Vitamin-D and cytokine storm more than a year ago, in late Spring of 2020. This newly-published research confirms everything that you said at that time. It bothers me that your videos keep getting censored on UA-cam. Perhaps you should start posting on Rumble, instead - they will not censor this important information!
I know is a bit cheeky but I've shared this info on the independent SAGE video chat. They need to know the importance of what is being discussed. I'm so pleased I came across your videos. Thank you
ElectricPanda808 as a senior citizen, I take loads of vit D. Have only had minor cold/flu over the last several years. I also exercise regularly....well, used to when the gym was open pre COVID. Cheers.
@@BitterClinger1947 we can get through this. Our specie has always overcome tremendous tremendous obstacles. All we have to do is be good to each other and take care of our lovely little yet powerful immune cells.
Anthony Arango does it help with mental health? I’m stuck in a black hole at the moment with this depression and anxiety and thinking of starting to take vitamin D
Thank you so much, I have been banging on about Vitamin D the cause of the differential rates between groups was down to the skin not producing Vit D as efficiently ergo the old and BAME. Your explanation of the mechanism between Vit D and the immune system is detailed yet clear to the layman as only a truly intelligent person can deliver. I have subscribed sir and look forward to more videos from you.
Amazing video!! My “top notch” NYC endocrinologist mom shamed me for giving my (chronically low vitamin D) daughter 3,000 IU a day, her blood levels were at 70. Her doctor made me go down to no more than 1000 IU of vitamin D a day. I foolishly listened due to the shaming by the doctor and guess what, my daughters blood vitamin D levels dropped to 30. Did her doctor call me to tell me to increase it? Did she care? Nope. Her Cornell doctor told me vitamin D was dangerous. Also, The late Dr. Bradstreet and Dr. Gonzales (both suicided) found high Nagalase amounts- which come out of viruses and cancer cells, shut off the immune system. Vaccines have nagalase or the viruses in the vaccines excrete nagalase shutting down the immune system. Vitamins D and cytokine storms were discussed a lot by the”suicided” doctors. They healed through GcMaf. GC proteins is a protein in the body that is used by macrophages. Macrophages kill viruses and cancer cells. GC protein adds vitamin D to it, and once vitamin D is added to the GC protein it becomes Vitamin D Human Immune System Enzyme Protein, AKA Vitamin D bonding macrophage activating factor. Aka GcMaf- a protein in our blood that kills viruses and cancer. However nagalase targets the surface of T & B lymphocytes, disabling the body from making GcMaf. Cytokine storms happen when macrophages don’t get sufficient quantity of vitamin D during viral exposure- according to the dead doctors. I’m just a laymen so I hope I explained what Dr. Bradstreet said correctly.
After 3 months at that dose it might be good to check blood levels just to make sure you are happy with the level. I only need 4,000iu per day to stay in optimal range, but everyone is different.
@@itzalejandro210 ok? it's a lot better than ok :) that is great. The amount needed to achieve optimal levels varies a lot, from lifeguards usually needing no additional supplementation, to overweight dark skin person working indoors who eats lots of fructose who has autoimmune disease and who always wears sunscreen might need over 10,000iu per day in very rare cases. Most need 2,000 to 5,000iu per day to be close to opimal, from my reading. www.grassrootshealth.net/document/moving-research-into-practice-charts-booklet/
Been taking Vitamin D3-K2 4000iU every day. Sleep 8 hours a day, take walks in woods and have Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin in my cupboard. People over 40 do not absorb Vitamin D through their skin, hence older people are mostly at risk from Vit D deficiency.

And to a lesser degree, MedCram and maybe in vindication of PeakProsperity, that their opinion matters.... Edit: shifting their and your word around. Sorry EN is my 3rd language.
That is very good news and important to know. I have been noticing that beach and coastal towns in the Dominican Republic have experienced significantly noticeable much less deaths from Covid-19 infections in comparison to other locations where people do not sunbath or absorb much sun.
Thank you very much. Very informative! It was a refresher for me. It's been 50 years since my University days and although biochemistry and microbiology were my goal I was side tracked getting through medical-illustration by graphic design. However, I never lost interest but diverted it towards arthropodology and ornithology as an interest/hobby for my photography.
I am an RN and started taking Vitamin D and K 2 after developing breast cancer in 2002. I follow the Budwig protocol....now I have the whole family taking D3 and K2 as we live in the North Eastern United States, where people's D levels typically are low. No one in the household has gotten sick during COVID pandemic. Vitamin D won't make big Pharma rich and that's why, in my humble opinion, the general population isn't hearing about the importance of Vitamin D, in preventing infection. We all should be eating grass fed butter etc, for natural D intake,too.
How is a knowledgeable certified doctor's advice "inappropriate content" ? Enough with silencing doctors already!

@FoxIslanderSteve , this isn't about whether the doctor has it right or wrong. It's about censorship. About someone deciding for you, what information you may look at. They are taking away your right to decide based on all the information out there. Main-stream medicine gets very little correct, yet we are expected to believe them without good evidence. UA-cam, google, facebook, twitter - nothing but book-burners promoting the propaganda of their choice.

How much VitD for cancer prevention?
Look for an eBook on kindle called the Optimum Dose. It's written by an MD who practices what he preaches. By the by vitamin d3 is not a vitamin it's a hormone. We can't manufacture vitamins but our bodies make D3 every time we go out in the sun!

I`tell you why... Vit D acts as a real fighter against CODIV and its know it works like a charm as a Immunity modulator. Its is widely know for decades buuuuut... its really really cheap. Thats the problem. As many of the proved treatments that are available and used fro underground MDs (who migh loose their license for doing it ) vit D is not mentioned in maindstrems media because is a cheap vitamin (is not even considered a drug ) And the medical stablisment dont promote anything like that. Take for instance REMDECIVIR which has really really mild efffect on the course of the disease, is $4000 dlls on pilll.... Pharma is the business of death... And this virus is going to makke them trillions. You`lll see.

I have been watching Dr. John Campbell since February- the best for getting the truth about Corvid 19 without any media hipped.
The pharmaceutical companies have bought our US government- including Congress and the President by giving hundred of thousands to their campaign.
They will never mention a vitamin to take. It might hurt their lobbyist money.
Do you know why we in US have the highest price on medications. Other countries negotiate the cost of drugs but not us.
Pharmaceutical comparison can charge as much as they want since our government is bought by them.
As a result Medicare is having financial problems due to the high price.

No idea. According to UA-cam, people flag these as inappropriate. UA-cam removes them. We make an appeal to UA-cam. Their people review the video, and so far, in fifty percent of our videos they come back and declare them inappropriate for the community. I think UA-cam team members are not medically educated, hence, they can't make good decisions.
Janet - You tube has blood on their hands for taking down videos with life saving medical information.
From what I’ve heard, they take down material that disagrees with the WHO or CDC. Right or wrong, hcq promotion disagrees with those entities and as such gets taken down.
Guess people are going around and reporting the video and then it just gets removed - there seems to be a lot of people who don't want Vitamin D to be mentioned
There is an interesting debate as to whether these platforms are becoming curators of information instead of free speech platforms, and whether they therefore should be held legally liable for their content as a result of this (for which I have heard that that they are currently not liable because of the idea that they were originally free speech platforms). Currently they are having their cake and eating it.

Interesting... This clearly explains why the Black Community has been hit harder than others. Vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic levels and has been for some time in the entire population. When you couple this with melanated skin I'd be willing to bet that a larger % of us have a Vitamin D deficiency than the population at large.
The answer is to tell every person of color you know to make sure their vitamin D is on point.

It certainly explains part of the issue (look at paper Dr shows: 15.6% relative risk increase with Vit-D deficiency). But it's not the entire explanation. For that, look at how Black people are treated.

Thank you for your wonderful lecture! Im a vitamin D fanatic, prescribing it to my patients, telling them "it's a vitamin that brings back the power of your health!"
The old timers in Maine USA used to say if you lived through March you had another year! Winter is the dyin' time! This has been known for ages. One of the theories is lack of sunlight!
I've seen this on the farm with animals many many times.
Vincent Conti And that sunlight has germ killing UV in it.
Or more likely it's a carry over from old times mad has more to do with cold and lack of food
10 minutes of sunshine should give 20,000 IU of VD (Vit D.) Take your woolly hat off and expose your sweaty face for 10 minutes in the bleak watery southern hemisphere sun.
Cabin fever is a real thing up North. Every year the domestics and murders go way up. Winter just sucks no matter how you cut it.
Thank you. The way you explain the medical studies really makes it easy for regular people to understand. Such explanations are rarely ever seen in the mainstream, so they reveal as little as possible, so not to expose their lies or cover ups.
Can you take this one level deeper and talk about how important cholesterol is to make Vitamin D? Also, can you address how the toxic sun screen lotions that have been pushed by society are partially responsible for not making Vitamin D, due to blocking the sun on our skin. So 4 issues decrease the ability to make Vit. D..1. Sun Exposure by where we live. 2. Sun Exposure not making Vit D due to sun screen 3. Dark skin, which makes Vit. D slower 4. Taking a pill that decreases the creation of cholesterol also decreases the body's ability to make Vit D.
Please discuss obtaining vit D from drinking cow's milk. Is this method only, sufficient? How much is required to drink daily for recommended daily intake of vitamin D? Consider trim and standard variation of cow's milk.
Cod liver has much more vitamin D than milk.
Excellent suggestions/questions, definitely need further study.
Also - the time of day of sun exposure is a factor - few people know that ultraviolet B light is what creates the reaction in the skin that leads to vitamin D, not UV A, and UV B is completely blocked by the atmosphere if the sun is below about 45 degrees above the horizon. So you need middle of the day sun exposure even in summer, not early morning or late afternoon.
Kevin Slattery. Are they claiming vit d content? Have you seen how most dairy cows are kept and fed! In open barns and on processed fodder. Where's the sunlight?

Living witness! Overall, I have excellent bloodwork, but I am vitamin D deficient. I Eat primarily vegetarian with fish a few times a month. I was on a juicing and on healthy detox when I got sick with Covid. My immune was high!! I had the death of the flu symptoms and just recently got over pneumonia!
In talking with the State heath agency on my follow up call (they call you at HOME) she literally said that I had the worse symptoms that she’s heard in her months of making those calls. I had the ICE cold chills, fever, drenched sweating 24 hours a day, severe muscle pain and sharp pain in my blood, poor vision, malaise, scalp issues and excessive dandruff, loss of appetite and the inability to stay awake. Those symptoms lasted 10 days! I ended up in the ER where they found pneumonia in my lungs! I had every bad symptom there is, however my body/immune system was able to overcome the pneumonia at home w just a round of antibiotics. The pneumonia is what causes people to have to go on ventilators. It was harrowing and scary experience. I kept reminding myself it’s the flu, you can and will get better. Thank God I have immunity for a few months. My body and mind need time to heel. Stay safe. Wear your mask, get lots of sunshine and double up on your Vitamin D! 💚💚💚

If Vit D has inverse correlation with CRP, then it would also be helpful in other inflammatory conditions like atherosclerosis.
Many doctors who advocate for low carb and keto diets have talked about the importance of vitamin D in combination with vitamin K for cardiovascular health.

Every person with dementia has a vit D deficiency.
Philip Robinson Yes. I massively improved my I B D (Crohns) ten years ago from very low vitamin D to normal + and hugely improved my health so that I was able to stop steroids and avoid the immunosuppressants that I had been told to take.
I suffer from an autoimmune and inflammatory bowel disease called ulcerative colitis, my symptoms were 80-85% manageable with normal treatment but ever since I started taking vitamin D in February, my symptoms are almost completely gone. I feel like my old self before I got diagnosed in 2015, I haven’t taken immunosupressants in months (after consulting my doctor of course) and I am doing pretty okay

Many allopathic doctors know absolutely nothing about nutrition and health. Thank you, Dr Been. You are an amazing altruistic gift to humanity. Dr Irene James (PhD).
As a health coach with specialized training in functional medicine I have a protocol that I put together to help people fight Covid should they contract the virus. Since Feb I followed my own protocol as a prevention, but yet on June 17th I woke up with a 99.1 fever and rapid heart rate of 100-120bpm. My normal resting heart rate is always in the high 50s to low 60s so I knew something was wrong. I immediately went into isolation and on the 2nd day my back pain was so severe I went to the ER. I'm 55 years of age in good health, workout daily, and have no underlying medical issues. However, they checked out my heart just to be safe and all was fine and the test for Covid came back negative. I went home and remained in isolation and then went to the urgent care on the 4th day and tested positive. I lost sense of taste on this day as well and everything had an ammonia like smell to it. My fever stayed in the 99.1 to 101 range with it averaging around 100.5. I didn't take anything for pain or fever for the first 3 days and I am here to tell you that was a big mistake because I think I caused undo stress on my body from the rapid heart rate and severe back and leg pain. Finally on day 4 I took 1000mg of Tylenol and I literally felt the pain leaving my body within about 15 minutes. As a health nut I am totally against taking medications unless absolutely necessary and please believe me this was necessary. I was scared to death the entire time because I knew this virus can effect people differently. Everything from no symptoms to death so I lay there every night wondering if I would wake up the next day. So, what did I do and what were my symptoms?
Low grade fever, muscle aches the first 3 days and then I started taking Tylenol as needed. Most of the time I didn't have to take it but every 12-20 hours or so. I lost sense of taste and my metabolic rate was through the roof hence the reason for the rapid heart rate. This is due to adrenaline and cortisol your body pushes out when fighting an infection. I was basically in fight or flight mode for 12 days and I lost 9 pounds. I also had a mild cough and when I would take a deep breath I could feel the mild tightness in my lungs so I made it a point to do deep breathing exercises every couple of hours or so.
On day 12 I was growing weary because nothing was improving or getting worse. I was stable, but yet getting very discouraged that I was not getting better. So, at 2:12am in the morning I prayed to God and asked Him to heal my body. I asked Him to renew my faith and I needed to know that He was real in my life so I called on the name of Jesus. Every night leading up to that night my fever would spike anywhere from 100.5 to 100.8 and then I would have to take Tylenol. That night I prayed at 2:12am because I saw my fever creeping up from 99.1 to 99.4 and I thought, here we go again so I prayed and prayed for God to show Himself to be real and I asked Him to make this virus go away by 3:00am. Well, that was only 48 minutes, but I didn't want to make it that easy for God and I wanted a set time so that I would know it was God if indeed He healed me. I then took my temperature at 3:00am and about fell out when it read 98.9. Instead of creeping up to 100.5 to 100.8 it reversed by half a degree in 48 minutes. I cried like a baby and went to sleep and woke up the next morning around 8:00am and my temperature was 97.7 and it has been normal every day since then and all symptoms left and that was 8 days ago now. In those 8 days I have gained back 4 of the 9 pounds I lost and I thank GOD for showing up for me! I know some people will say it was a coincidence, but to me God showed up in 48 minutes and He stomped on that virus. I was at the time more spiritual and I know that God loves all, but that night I called on Jesus and He showed Himself to be real and He did so in 48 minutes. Yes, I am excited because I have experienced the power of God!
So, I did take vitamin D3/K2, astaxanthin, R-Lipoic Acid, vitamin C, NAC, vitamin A, E, and omega 3s to help control inflammation. The virus never took over my lungs and my immune system never overreacted to cause a cytokine storm. However, keep in mind that I had been taking all these supplements like clockwork since Feb, but yet I still contracted the virus. Did they help keep me from getting a severe case? Who knows, but I give all the credit to God either way and I thank Him for showing up in 48 minutes to clear my body of this virus and I am here to spread the message of prayer. Just pray and ask God for healing because if He will do it for me He will do it for you! Praise God and peace to His people on earth. Thank you Jesus for what you have done for me and I pray that anyone that reads this message that you will protect them from this virus or heal them like you did me! Move for them Father and show yourself to be real in their lives as well. Amen!
Power in the name of Jesus 🙏
Total Body Fitness i am not a medical person but I think the tylenol does nothing and may be dangerous as it gives a false sense of security.

As for skin type it also explains Type II diabetes prevalence and broken bones in Birmingham UK for example. What a conductor is to an orchestra so D3 is to the activation of your immune system and smooth elasticity of the lining of your blood vesicles relating to your autonomic nervous system (blood pressure control and many other critical functions).

This is a good an informative Article! So a lot of people reading this will rush to supplement with Vitamin D! But then it would make a lot of sense to to make sure readers will be advised to take adequate Vitamain K2 to avoid permanent overdosing with Vitmin D, since without K2 there is a very high risk of arterial calcification and brittle bones!
Yes a lot of drs are recommending the K2
K2 has other good effects, too, such as increasing insulin sensitivity (ie. against diabetes).
@@msmontana1961 When Vitamin D was first discovered, they also noticed, that in large quantities it also could be used as Rat Poison! The rats would die by calciefied blood vessels! Therefore it was decided to limit the daily intake recommendation to 400 IU! So today, due to more research, the reccommnendation has been increased I think up to 5000 IU, but than Vitamin K2 is essential to avoid slow Blood vessel calcification and to promote bone health! I just made this comment, for I think it is not a good idea to recommend to take more Vitamin D without pointing out the danger and what has to be observed and added, to be on the safe side!
@@freddy2011A I would imagine that sunlight-derived D would be safe at high levels. A half our can give you 10,000 IU I think.

I had suspected covid in early March, couldn’t get tested at that time unfortunately - also had my vitamin d level checked in November, it was high - my vitamin d always seems to be slightly high. I got pretty sick in the second week of infection after initially feeling like I just had a mild cold - might’ve been that high vitamin d that kept me out of hospital. I also had my CRP checked a few weeks after infection and it was very low, my CRP is also usually very low which might be related to the vitamin d. I have had ongoing relapses and long term symptoms though which has been worrying and a huge pain in the ass. I was also taking NAC and zinc picolinate before I got sick, just as part of my winter flu prevention regimen.
Thank you so so much doctor for taking your time to teach us these things.
Dr. Been: Thank you for another terrific video! Do you think it's ok for an overweight male adult to take 8,000-10,000 I.U. per day of D? I realize this is considered a high dose, but given the tendency for D to be sequestered in adipose tissue -- and the variability in absorption from person to person and within an individual over time -- might it be prudent to err on the side of taking 'too much' D? I should note that the person in question (a family member) takes 90mcg of MK7 per day.
You must first get a blood test to set a baseline D level. Then have it checked at 6 months. Also make sure to get a D that includes Vitamin K in it.
There was a doctor experimenting with D and made a mistake in mixing his dose. He took something like a million units per day for weeks before discovering his error. D is not dangerous like big pharma wants us to think it is.
For example: 15-20 minutes of all over body sun exposure will generate 20,000 units. So how much do we produce when working all day in the sun? Our bodies know what to do.
Symptoms of "too much vitamin D" are rare to nonexistent. Can contribute to elevated calcium, but still not common.
Found this video accidentally, thank-you for your time in producing it, I found your diagrams and expanantions most enlightening.
see Dr John Campbell Dr Sehult Medcram in youtube they are also really good source can try it ou once see the videos from january 2020.Also a big thanks for Dr Been also....
Hopefully people are learning that strengthening your body with key nutrients always is a good thing.
Hopefully they look to build their immune systems instead of their governments.
Thank you Dr. BEEN. I LOVE YOUR ARTWORK. TAKES FEAR OF REALITY AWAY.🤷♀️🤗👍
From one of your early videos, I came to know bout the possible usefulness of VitD 3 against the corona virus and started on a dosage of 2000 IU per day via tablets. After three days of usage I had a most terrifying experience at around mid morning. I developed blind spots which could not be moved around and also an over lay of a geometric design of a sort of cross hatch pattern which also could not be moved around. , This experience brought me into a near panic state which living in a third world country could not be attended to , there being no medical facilities that could be referred to as hospitals and all private clinics including the two in my building being shut down due to the epidemic. The experience lasted for about fifteen minutes after which all was perfectly normal. The experience was repeated the next day and for three days after at precisely the same time of the same duration. A Google search produced nothing and the doctors in my building had never heard of any such side effect of Vit D3.As the only new medication that could have brought this experience on was obviously the Vit D , I discontinued its use on the fourth day . I was pleasantly surprised and greatly relieved to not have a repeat of the experience after stoppage of the Vit D intake. After much deliberation with the local chemist, a dosage of 800 IU was suggested and I resumed intake with no ill effects, with the possible exception of greatly disturbed sleep.
There does not seem to be even the very slightest awareness of this side effect of Vit D 3 even among the doctors consulted or on the Net or in the massive books on medicines , their uses, side effects etc etc. I thought you might be interested to know of my experience and that it could possibly be of some use.
Vivian Astridge It’s possible your supplements may have been contaminated or contained more ingredient than what is on the label causing an OD. Labdoor website tests supplements and does not charge a fee to view the info. While some of their tests are not current, it did help me to find manufacturers that cared about quality and had low contamination. It was eye opening to see how prevalent low levels of contamination are. I was involved in supplement manufacturing in the 80s and found that supplements that didn’t pass quality were sent to other countries for sale. I was going over some info recently and found that this is still taking place.
Sounds maybe like you maybe had a migraine with aura? It’s called Scintillating Scioma. They can happen with or without pain. Can also give you the blind spots. I’ve had that before, I suffer from migraines. Also, best to take Vitamin D3 in the morning and not at night as they can disturb sleep if taken at night.
@@time_traveller3 Thank you for your comments. The terrifying symptoms experienced did not include migraine symptoms . I have not suffered from migraine at any time though very very rarely slight headaches have occurred. There can be not doubt that the symptoms were in fact caused directly by the vitamin intake as these vanished on discontinuance of the vitamin D 3. Not all side effects are listed in any pharmacopoeia. I hope my comments prove useful to anyone experiencing similar symptoms of which doctors are unaware.
Which country and where did you get the supplements?
@drbeenmedicallectures Are you also uploading your videos on other platforms like Vimeo, Veoh, Dailymotion or others?
🎩 - 🎹 What this guy is saying is that Vit-D correlates with positive+ outcomes double blind
He is not reporting the results of a double blind study, but a retrospective review of experience with Covid-19, an "observational" study.
wow, I am glad my UA-cam autoplay was one, which lead me to your video. great information
I want to wrap my innate and adaptive arms around you for all that you do!
We can use our cellular immunity phones to avoid catching it when talking to people. And we can use our humoral immunity to help us laugh and stay positive.
Thank you for all that you do. I only wish I could donate more to help support your work. I''m a senior, who has had a vitamin D deficiency issue since 1983. Ironically, my C-reactive protein level is fine. I will be following your work.. Thank you again.
Does it mean if D levels are less. Crp will be more ? I am curious to know! Much respect to you
your videos are always very informative
Thank you. Stay blessed.
@@DrBeenMedicalLectures Amen!
Awesome information, made that much more understandable, by you, Doctor. For this, all your hard work, and bravery to bring this timely + vital info to us, during these critical, invasive days. May your necessary work continue to be blessed and your love to help mankind be unhindered. Keep safe, stay healthy.

5000iu D3, 1000mg C, and Zinc is what I take daily, along with some others.
DON'T FORGET your K2....
I love how he explains all of this. He is awesome!
Let's see...a daily 4-cent vitamin D pill, or a ventilator? 🤔
Yah, kind of a no brainer isn't it.
Excellent. Outstanding breakdown of the benefits of D.
Do you have any idea what the odds are of a random person going to a random doctor or hospital in a random city in the U.S. would end up with treatment by a doctor that is not up on the current state of the art protocols, that you present, and would only provide ordinary treatment, based mostly upon only the results of full blown double blind studies done on COVID-19 patients, based on an excessively conservative philosophy, and thereby not give that person the best chance for a positive outcome with minimized damage to the body? What is a person to do if this happens?
The standard procedure for patients in this situation is to get sicker, have other complications and sometimes die.
My aunt had covid in March. (Few weeks feeling bad, is 100% now) Her dr recommended vitamin d, c and b12 for her. I was amazed and grateful to the dr. Pretty sure that’s the exception.
That was so good! I will need to watch again, and maybe a 3rs time. Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
First my OB/GYN and then a gerontologist stressed taking vitamin D supplements in my early 50s. I’ve been on 5000 to 10,000 units ever since. I am now 67 and very seldom get sick. I am pale redhead in the southern US so
get plenty of vitamin D from the sun. how long I stay outside varies given how quickly I burn from the sun, but I just sent this video to at least three of my friends and my husband because I believe and agree with him about the importance of c reactive protein and vitamin D. I’ve known about it for years Ive paid out-of-pocket to have my c reactive protein tested when insurance companies wouldnt cover it: I want to know what the basic inflammation levels of my body ate! it helps to know all this. knowledge is power!
Can you give the amounts of Vitamins D, C, Zinc NAC, Quercetin?
u should take VIT D 5000 IU VITAMIN C 2000 MG ,REST U CAN FOLLOW THE INSTRUCRION ON THE BOTTELS
VIT D 5000 IU AND C 2000MG HAS NO SIDE EFFECTS BUT VERY BENEFITS FOR IMMUNE AND COVID
Dr. Ahmed. I'm an African-American, 59 years old, 255 lbs. I've been taking 10,000 IU. Is that ok? Excessive?
You need to test your blood levels for vitamin d deficiency.
@@toddjacksonpoetry probably perfect, I'm Puerto Rican, 114 pounds 5' tall and spend time in sun, still need 8000IU to maintain level at 43. The darker you are the less you absorb from sun. I was deficient for years thinking sun was enough. Black people need 2hours per a white person's 15 min! Every dark person who doesn't spend 2 hours a day in the sun, every day of their life, should assume they are deficient.
Dr. Been, you are the KING! I remember you discussing this mechanism of action of Vitamin-D and cytokine storm more than a year ago, in late Spring of 2020. This newly-published research confirms everything that you said at that time. It bothers me that your videos keep getting censored on UA-cam. Perhaps you should start posting on Rumble, instead - they will not censor this important information!
My cardiologist told me to add D to my daily supplements .
I know is a bit cheeky but I've shared this info on the independent SAGE video chat. They need to know the importance of what is being discussed. I'm so pleased I came across your videos. Thank you
for the past 4 months, i've been taking 4000IU's of Vitamin D a day.
ElectricPanda808 as a senior citizen, I take loads of vit D. Have only had minor cold/flu over the last several years. I also exercise regularly....well, used to when the gym was open pre COVID. Cheers.
I'm taking 10,000 IU of D3 with 100 MCG of K2. Honestly, never felt better! 😎
@@BitterClinger1947 we can get through this. Our specie has always overcome tremendous tremendous obstacles. All we have to do is be good to each other and take care of our lovely little yet powerful immune cells.
Anthony Arango does it help with mental health? I’m stuck in a black hole at the moment with this depression and anxiety and thinking of starting to take vitamin D
5000uiD3 100mcgK2 here and feeling great also! 💪 If only I knew this in my younger days 😂
Thank you so much, I have been banging on about Vitamin D the cause of the differential rates between groups was down to the skin not producing Vit D as efficiently ergo the old and BAME. Your explanation of the mechanism between Vit D and the immune system is detailed yet clear to the layman as only a truly intelligent person can deliver. I have subscribed sir and look forward to more videos from you.
Amazing video!! My “top notch” NYC endocrinologist mom shamed me for giving my (chronically low vitamin D) daughter 3,000 IU a day, her blood levels were at 70. Her doctor made me go down to no more than 1000 IU of vitamin D a day. I foolishly listened due to the shaming by the doctor and guess what, my daughters blood vitamin D levels dropped to 30. Did her doctor call me to tell me to increase it? Did she care? Nope. Her Cornell doctor told me vitamin D was dangerous. Also, The late Dr. Bradstreet and Dr. Gonzales (both suicided) found high Nagalase amounts- which come out of viruses and cancer cells, shut off the immune system. Vaccines have nagalase or the viruses in the vaccines excrete nagalase shutting down the immune system. Vitamins D and cytokine storms were discussed a lot by the”suicided” doctors. They healed through GcMaf. GC proteins is a protein in the body that is used by macrophages. Macrophages kill viruses and cancer cells. GC protein adds vitamin D to it, and once vitamin D is added to the GC protein it becomes Vitamin D Human Immune System Enzyme Protein, AKA Vitamin D bonding macrophage activating factor. Aka GcMaf- a protein in our blood that kills viruses and cancer. However nagalase targets the surface of T & B lymphocytes, disabling the body from making GcMaf. Cytokine storms happen when macrophages don’t get sufficient quantity of vitamin D during viral exposure- according to the dead doctors. I’m just a laymen so I hope I explained what Dr. Bradstreet said correctly.
BRAVO DOC! Which version of Vitamin D do you recommend as a supplement & which food? Thanks for your information! Carry On!
Shared.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Thank you so much for all this information, you are wonderful for being persistent, to helping ppl. 💕💞💘💗💖
I’ve been taking 10,000 vitamin D combo with K2 because high level of D.
After 3 months at that dose it might be good to check blood levels just to make sure you are happy with the level. I only need 4,000iu per day to stay in optimal range, but everyone is different.
I'm on 5000 ui vitamin D3 with 90mcg of vitamin K2 per day. Is this ok ?
@@itzalejandro210 ok? it's a lot better than ok :) that is great. The amount needed to achieve optimal levels varies a lot, from lifeguards usually needing no additional supplementation, to overweight dark skin person working indoors who eats lots of fructose who has autoimmune disease and who always wears sunscreen might need over 10,000iu per day in very rare cases. Most need 2,000 to 5,000iu per day to be close to opimal, from my reading. www.grassrootshealth.net/document/moving-research-into-practice-charts-booklet/
Been taking Vitamin D3-K2 4000iU every day. Sleep 8 hours a day, take walks in woods and have Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin in my cupboard. People over 40 do not absorb Vitamin D through their skin, hence older people are mostly at risk from Vit D deficiency.
Great comment!
Thank you for educating us. I’ve low vitamin D. I’ll make sure to take my med.
God protect you DrBeen.
Super stuff. Much love for getting the truth out.
Thank you again DrBeen! 🌻
Where else can you upload your videos Dr. Been? Vimeo? or do you have somewhere else please, thanks

The talk is great, the illustrations are even better! 😆 thank you Dr 🙏🏻
I thank God I found your page!
Pleased this is back on as missed it first time, another well explained vlog and for a lay person as me makes alot of sense. Thank you for the time you have put into these vlogs. Love your drawing to explain 😊 hugs to the cats 🐈
My wife is from the north of India. She tells me that HCQ+Zinc is standard treatment of persons close to or just starting to need oxygen treatment. That’s why I love you Indian trailblazers here on this platform. Now please tell Dr.Campbell that! And to a lesser degree, MedCram and maybe in vindication of PeakProsperity, that their opinion matters.... Edit: shifting their and your word around. Sorry EN is my 3rd language.
great talk, thank you. Early interception with prevention helps.
That is very good news and important to know. I have been noticing that beach and coastal towns in the Dominican Republic have experienced significantly noticeable much less deaths from Covid-19 infections in comparison to other locations where people do not sunbath or absorb much sun.
Thank you very much. Very informative!
It was a refresher for me. It's been 50 years since my University days and although biochemistry and microbiology were my goal I was side tracked getting through medical-illustration by graphic design.
However, I never lost interest but diverted it towards arthropodology and ornithology as an interest/hobby for my photography.
Excellent. Best explanation that I've found. 👍🌟🌟🌟
I am an RN and started taking Vitamin D and K 2 after developing breast cancer in 2002. I follow the Budwig protocol....now I have the whole family taking D3 and K2 as we live in the North Eastern United States, where people's D levels typically are low. No one in the household has gotten sick during COVID pandemic. Vitamin D won't make big Pharma rich and that's why, in my humble opinion, the general population isn't hearing about the importance of Vitamin D, in preventing infection. We all should be eating grass fed butter etc, for natural D intake,too.
