check out my blood vitamin D levels from 11 years ago 21.1 I mean that number is so low that puts me at risk for autoimmune diseases Cancer all sorts of health problems at that time of my life I had so much inflammation my back my neck my joints little did I know it was just low vitamin D there's a really good chance that you personally are low in vitamin D and you might not even know it I did my DNA test and if you look through my genes I have a big problem with all the
inflammatory genes if I don't do the right things or I'm eating the wrong things my body will just fill up with inflammation people that have genetics that are more pro-inflammatory have more of a heightened immune system and it's ready to fight things off on the negative side they might have a lot of chronic inflammation more susceptibility of getting an autoimmune disease but they're more protected against cancer I know in my family there's not much cancer which is a good thing but there's a lot of inflammation so in the flip side of that people that take
things that suppress immune system like prednizone or go through a lot of stress chemotherapy are more prone to cancer because it blunts the immune system let me get back to the topic vitamin D in your blood that they test is inactive it is not the vitamin D that actually is doing all the work inside the cells some people make the assumption that oh my vitamin D is normal in the blood so it must be normal in the cells when in fact there's another piece of the puzzle that you need to know about and that is
vitamin D resistance think of it like this here we have the receptors for vitamin D and then we have the vitamin D you have to add a lot of force to get it to work that's called vitamin D resistance how does one get vitamin D resistance a genetic problem could be one way you have vitamin D resistance lime disease certain infections downgrade the vitamin D receptor as a survival mechanism if you're low in magnesium which the majority of the population is deficient or if you're deficient in zinc or vitamin K2 you're going to have difficulty
allowing vitamin D to work because vitamin D is dependent on these other nutrients the more cortisol that you have flowing through your bloodstream the less vitamin D will work the more body problems you have whether it's diabetes or obesity the less vitamin D will work even the color of your skin if your Skin's darker you're going to have a hard time absorbing vitamin D3 let me go on to the next interesting topic about vitamin D that has to do with the rdas the amounts of vitamin D that are recommended on a daily basis to prevent
problems the recommendation of The Institute of medicine states that we need about 600 IUS of vitamin D3 very very tiny amounts that 600 iuse of vitamin D that it's recommended really should be 8,8 95 international units every single day the rdas for vitamin D should be more than 10x more not a lot of people are doing that they're taking like maybe like 800 a th000 2,000 at the very most there's actually a lot of research in the relationship between vitamin D in your immune system and if someone is low in Vitamin D it really puts
them at risk for all sorts of problems especially viral infections and there's even data that people with tumors and can cancer have low vitamin D and if you understand the relationship between vitamin D and immune system it all makes sense vitamin D is involved in 10% of all of our genes we have like 25,000 genes one of the most exciting areas of research involving vitamin D is with autoimmune diseases and this is very relevant because autoimmune diseases are the number one world problem right now way above heart disease as well as cancer there was a
doctor from Brazil Dr kbre started to treat certain patients with high doses of vitamin D3 with amazing results I personally talked to another doctor that uses high doses of vitamin D3 and this doctor has over 900 video testimonials of autoimmune diseases relating to everything from Ms to Serious autoimmune skin disorders there's an eye doctor in Germany an optomologist who wrote a book about using high doses of vitamin D3 for glucoma and other ey related problems of all sorts of different autoimmune diseases the pharmacological basis of Therapeutics fourth edition talks about vitamin D resistance which I
don't know in 1972 if they recognize how common vitamin D resistance is but back then they talked about it the Curative dosage of the vitamin D may be as high as 50,000 iuse to 500,000 I use every single day then it goes on the same that in 1940 an interesting case of rickets required a Curative dosage of 1 million units and we're recommending 600 IUS is that going to do anything for your immune system I talked to the Pioneer researcher Dr Bruce Hollis about vitamin D3 and he told me that if you have positive good
outcomes with vitamin D they don't want to publish it and I said why he said because it competes with big Pharma when you have something that's so inexpensive or free from the Sun I mean who's going to want to take the drugs if you can get it free what about toxicity it's not the actual vitamin D It's What vitamin D does to calcium taking vitamin D actually opens the doors in the intestine to absorb more calcium but the problem is the high levels of calcium in people that are taking very large dosages that don't have
vitamin D resistance the data that I found is that you would have to take hundreds of thousands of vitamin D3 or months to produce this calcemic situation which is high calcium in the blood there's all sorts of things that you can do to lower that risk one thing that Dr coimbre talks about is that he just tells you not to consume any calcium and go on a low calcium diet so that's the strategy problem is that when I read through some of the reviews of patients that went to see him there was some problem with
osteoporosis because when you're completely eliminating calcium it could start affecting the bone other doctors who got train from him kind of altered that protocol and part of the recommendation is yeah they'll tell them not to actually take calcium from supplements but they won't restrict it from the diet they will recommend cheese and dairy and things like that they also recommend taking something that regulates calcium and that is magnesium when you take magnesium you offset or you decrease the risk for this also if you drink 2 and 1 12 lers of fluid every day you can
reduce the risk of getting kidney stones and then if you have an autoimmune disease you can work with a doctor to have them check your calcium in your blood and they can also check other things like the parathyroid hormone if you have a autoimmune disease I do recommend that you work with a doctor and I will put a link down below of people who got trained by Dr Co and then you can do your own research on this I haven't interviewed these doctors I don't know anything about them but at least it will give you
a starting point of doing your own research to figure this out the last point I want to talk about is what would you give give a child if the child is under one year old they should be taking a th000 IUS of vitamin D3 every day a mother who is breastfeeding a trial this is very very important should be taking at least 8,000 to 10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 breast milk is not very high in vitamin D unless the mother is taking a good amount of vitamin D3 and when a child is over 1 years
old they should be taking 3,000 I use of vitamin D3 teenagers to young adults to adults they should be taking between 8,000 to 10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 every single day or getting it from the Sun if you have even the slightest concern that 10,000 I use is toxic The Institute of medicine stated and I will put that link down below the intake of 10,000 iuse of vitamin D3 was supported as no observed Adverse Events concentration AKA there's no toxicity levels at 10,000 iuse and this is by the Institute of medicine okay I'm not just
making this up now you know a little bit more about my problems in relationship to vitamin D and a much greater Awareness on the importance of vitamin D that you're not probably going to get by doing a search on Google Now if you haven't seen my interview with Dr Hollis I'll put that up right here check it out
