  • Cured my flu in a matter of hours.

  • i also didn't know until recently thet you can get all necessary vitamins and minerals in microalgae like spirulina and chlorella! there's a free report @ naturalnews or truthpublishing called "Superfoods for Optimum Health - Chlorella and Spirulina" check it out :)

  • hjhfhj

  • A disease of neglect when the RDA of vitamin D3 here is 5 mcg? That's what's in one multivitamin i take.

  • I took this docs advice, had two 300,000iu d3 injections, my levels are now 80ng/ml, and I suddenly got moderate kidney damage, peeing alot, bladder pain, how do I get my levels back down? how long will it take?

  • @TheBezerker010 not sure why you did that without getting your levels checked first? he definitely doesn't recommend doing what you did without knowing where your blood levels are at. it is strange to be experiencing toxicity symptoms at 80ng/ml. you should get your full bloodwork done to see what is happening.

  • @TheBezerker010 Your wrong. First of you should not have 2x300,000iu and certainly not injections. They wouldnt do that anyway. Your post is farse. 80ng is healthy level. And you dont 'suddenly' get kidney damage!!! idiot.

  • @TheBezerker010

    High dose vitamin D increases your uptake of Calcium. To use this calcium you need adequate Vitamin K2, Vitamin A and Magnesium.

    If you don't you can get hypercalemia. Symptoms dizziness, frequent urination, forgetfulness, heart palpitations. But with the above vitamins and minerals there is no problem. It is not the vitamin D, it is the lack of other nutrients.

    I have seen this with doses of 50,000 IU. Your levels of Vitamin D are healthy, raise the others.

  • @TheBezerker010 How are your levels now?

  • 43 min amazing for skin psoriasis, wow, hes good

  • doctors are fucking shit, these cunts are too quick to prescribe pain killers and anti depressants. Do you honestly think the cunts who produce these drugs want you to know about vitamin D...I think not..lol I've lived for almost 20 years with chronic pain and depression. Fucking doctors too stupid to diagnose me as having a vitamin D deficiency, had to find it out for myself. My D count was just 12. After taking 50,000iu for eight weeks I'm now on the mend. Fucking doctors need kicking.

  • @Hertsman50 So true, so true. 

  • @Hertsman50 every single thing you said it true. They don't give a shit about patients. They don't give a SHIT about anyone but their Porsche and Million Dollar Mansion..Same thing..I was prescribed Vitamin D---felt immediately better. I have copies of all my records back to 2000-Fucking TSH has always been "off"--I remember even asking my Primary Care Doc., he said it's fine. Checked the internet, they changed the "normal" back in 2005. Labs not even updated! FUCKERS!

  • @Hertsman50

    I understand your anger, many of us have a story like that, personal or a loved one. But the problem is the drugs companies. They took over the medical schools during the depression and now control, medical teaching, research, textbooks and learned journals.

    This is why Dr Horlick had such a hard time getting the word out.

  • Good presentation...interesting, but the references to evolution theories are laughable!

  • @liberalsdegress

    I think a lot of it provided comic relief. That said, the reasoning behind a new source of D being required was pretty sound.

  • I've always intuitively felt that moderate sun exposure is good, as long as you're not getting severe burns. Nice to know there is research backing this up.

  • I clapped long and hard at home with noone here. Is that weird? Amazing lecture.

    For those of you who question taking vitamin D orally for psoriasis. I can't direct you to any studies, but I've had a real problem with it since birth and it's only been since I've been supplementing with 3000IU of Vit D that I've seen a marked reduction over the past 6 months. Any open sores are completely gone and redness has been reduced to a couple of minor spots.

  • @awksedgreep Same here. Increase raw fat in your diet and start intermittent fasting and it will vanish like mine did. If it hasnt already.

  • @awksedgreep you probably found more info by now since it's been 8 months since you posted but there are many vitamin d studies for various skin disorders..you can find more info @ vitamin d council..blessings! peace..also, check into the ancient practice (that's making a comeback!) of sungazing (there's a documentary on youtube about it)..also, dr. mercola has vitamin d-3 spray (nanotechnology) for those of us that must supplement in the winter (very little sunlight)

  • @BibiayClaudeia387 No, fuck off.

  • master!

  • Brilliant lecture.

  • It must really bug the pharmaceutical companies that this information about Vitamin D is available and ingested by EVERYONE.  I love it. How many times do the drug companies have to shoot themselves in the foot before the 'rest' of the public wakes up to their evil agenda?

  • Thank you, Dr Holick. A great Vitamin D talk ...except for the evolution stuff. May I ask how an intelligent man can believe in evolution?That takes more faith than believing God did it, don't you think? You talked briefly about the brilliance of the way Vitamin D acts on the skin. You mentioned "Mother Nature". Who is she? How do you or anyone know the world was molten soup? Was someone there then? If evidence was billions of years old, do you think there would be any evidence left?

  • im low in vitmin d and due to that i got depression i know take 1000 iu but feel no differnece but i took prozac 40mg know my depression is gone. due to me being Vitmin d defienct i have low energy cant play sports and my leg kills when i walk..

  • @branavantotmac ..read the comment from (gekiryudojo 1 year ago). She was taking 1000 iu then after this video she began taking 10,000 ius per DAY and she began feeling and looking better. She had MS but Vitamin D is said to help with depression, too. God bless you. Let me know what happens if you can. You can reach me at zhebee at yahoo.

  • @branavantotmac ...If I were in your shoes, I'd take 5000 to 10,000 IUs everyday. I feel less depressed and I am taking 5000 IUs a day. Some days I take 10,000. I would try it for a while to see if I saw a difference. Let us know what you try and what are the results. Thanks

  • "You probably wonder what i was smokin last night"

  • Thank you for uploading this video. Very informative. You now have a convert that will further spread your message!

  • I really like this video. Sunlight is very important for health and the only disease that it can give you is skin cancer, but that is if overexposed. There is no evidence that moderate sunlight exposure causes skin cancer, especially if you have a healthy diet. It also doesn't make sense to say that sunlight is bad for you. It gives us life. It prevents many diseases. There is no reason to completely avoid it.

  • @ina339 ...My mother age 72 says she cannot remember hearing much about skin cancer until she was about 35 to 40 yrs. Her family were all raised on the farm with lots of sun and no one got skin cancer of any kind. Then suddenly all sorts of people were getting it. Is it possible that sunscreen was formulated to cause sickness? Did they know then that Vitamin D could keep so many people healthy and were trying to keep it from the public? There are ingredients in sunscreens that cause cancer.

  • @qbulb Yes, Vitamin D is a very important hormone and unfortunately, the medical clinic told us to stay away from sunlight because they did not want us to have optimal health, so that we could pay them visits and they earn a lot of money from that. Many ingredients in sunscreens, such as oxybenzone, can actually cause skin cancer because when the skin absorbs these chemicals, it forms free radicals when out in sunlight and they multiply to cause mutations in the DNA, resulting in skin cancer.

  • @ina339 ...It is less likely the medical clinics and more likely the pharmaceutical companies who are the culprits. Who made us think we needed sunscreen in the first place? In the years before the 30's and 40's, it was hard to find some cases of cancer. People never heard of sunscreen. They spent more time in the sun, too but rarely got skin cancer. Not only did the drug companies create deficiency diseases but also created skin cancer as you said. Who is the ones really selling snake oil?

  • Very cheap D3 Vitamins and other Health products from iHerb.com

    Use code TAP511 for 5$ discaunt from first order..

  • I was diaganosed with Bcell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia about 3 years ago and on my doctors advice added a 1000iu Vitamin D supplement to my daily routine (the only tablet I have taken). I was put on watch and wait (during which you watch your white blood cell count rise until they intervene with drugs), I have had little or no rise in the three years. I am now on watch and wait with test every year and visit to the doctor every two. Not sure if it is the Vitamin D but I am recommending it.

  • @GunnerWhelbourn ..Thank you for that. I believe it is Vitamin D that is saving your butt. Praise the Lord. If I were you, I would take 5000 a day. As a matter of fact, that is how much I take. If I had an issue, I would increase it to 10,000 iu per DAY for at least a few months.

  • @qbulb Thanks and as a result of comments I have increased to 2000 per day(I will see how this makes me feel), everything is fine. I think my Dr is confused as I am not progressing as expected. He has now put me on 'watch and wait' with 24 months gap before my next test.

  • @GunnerWhelbourn ...What a great story! It very likely is the Vitamin D. If it were me I'd take a lot more Vit D

    Thank you so much for sharing. You will never know how much your story will have helped others. Thanks again.

  • This guy is an M.D., Ph.D., yet he contradicts himself on several occasions. If it's true that Vitamin D produced through sun exposure leads to the production of other byproducts, then how does getting Vitamin D from a bottle mimic the same metabolic processes? It doesn't. Also, black Americans are a displaced population. They don't belong in the latitudes that Whites do, period.

  • @buzzin1975 Getting D3 from a bottle is not a metabolic process. Perhaps you could name some of the "byproducts" generated by sun exposure. Yeah, didn't think so. Watch the video a few more times and you might start to understand it.

  • @roadwarrior1981 I just said getting D3 from a bottle isn't a metabolic process. I would love to name some of the byproducts from sun exposure. Why don't you white scientists come down to India, where we've known about them for the last 8,000 years. We'd be glad to tell you about them so that you can go back home and try to patent it.  I don't need to watch shit. My ancestors were aware of these things for eons.

  • @buzzin1975 India. This explains it. You come from a country with abundant sunshine, yet massive widespread D deficiency. No wonder you are so obtuse. It always seems those with deficiency are the most highly opposed to correcting the issue. Some sort of Darwinist behavior brought on by the deficiency.

    The rest of us that dwell in places where there's no UVB 6 months out of the year will continue to thrive with D3. No fancy patents just irradiated sheep lanolin.

    The guru has failed

  • @roadwarrior1981 Abundant widespread D deficiency? Love to get your statistics on that one. Go ahead 'thriving' in your oligotrophic environments.

  • @buzzin1975 That is easy. Google India Vitamin D deficiency. Good thing it didn't take us 8000 years to invent the internet.

  • @roadwarrior1981 Yeah, the internet is definitely a reliable source of information. Good idea, I'll "Google" it. How about instead you go to real scholars who actually work in the affected areas and who don't have a political agenda to espouse or money to make off of misinformation. Wikipedia is a joke, and so are the reams of shit published on the internet.

  • @buzzin1975 You are a funny little man. Of course all the "real" scholarly info is found only in print in some special sauce medical research library. Get with it son, all current, relevant information is published to the net these days. Don't take out your frustration on others because you don't know where to find it.

  • @roadwarrior1981 There's a difference between Googling and actually accessing peer-reviewed scholarly journals. 

  • @buzzin1975 ..Would the difference be that Googling brings you to info you can understand and is not written in medicinese?

  • @buzzin1975 ...Don't most of these so-called 'real scholars' start off on the wrong foot especially in medicine? Doctors are brain-washed with misinformation from day 1 especially about drugs. Medical schools and universities are subsidized by pharmaceutical companies whose aim is not to kill you but to keep you sick as long as possible. So even if a doctor doesn't have a political agenda he is biased from the get-go and he doesn't even know it.

  • @qbulb Bingo. You got it. You get a cake!

  • D3 Vitamins from iHerb.com

    Use code TAP511 for 5$ discaunt from first order..

  • Diabetes? This is pure bullshit,Vitamin D has nothing to do with it.Its more about the Foods we eat Nowadays

  • @GTXMAN Go figure out the difference between Type 1 and 2 diabetes, then come back. k thx

  • @roadwarrior1981 No THX.

  • This video is sadly soaked in evolutionary origin mythology presented as fact which is not required to understand how vitamin D works.

  • vitamin d cured my flu in a matter of hours. The flu is a seasonal disease caused by not enough uvb from the sun.

  • @hamptonbay100 ...Where would I find more info about the flu and vitamin D.

  • very informative .. highly recommend watching .. !!

  • too sacered of sun, but vittimin D in tablets like i did

  • Just diagnosed with vit D deficiency.(score50) This is a fast learning curve from a great communicator. Well worth passing on the url. Thanks Prof.

  • 22:12: "We took old biddies, wheeled them out on a verandah and exposed them to sunlight..." Classic!

  • good video so far, except I don't think cream cheese is a significant source of calcium. A serving of Philadelphia Cream Cheese only has 2% of the daily requirement of calcium per its nutrition information

  • first i find out about Vitamin b17, google A world without cancer and watch the video.

    then i stumble across the FANTASTIC video . ive learnt so much in such a small space of time ..

    thanks for uploading ..

    Boycott Coca-Cola

    peace .

  • Wow, he did not even say uhm orso even once, at 13:00 now.

    Incredibly interesting as well, haven't seen a person this intelligent for a while, awesome !

  • this lecturer is good...Very good. I'd never get bored if he was my medical lecturer. Everything is fast n snappy but not too fast that you cant take it in. And every few slides are filled with humour. Dr. Holick is Very skilled in keepin everyone focuse. Ive taken everything in by watching this video for the 1ST time. and its just the VIDEO of it aswel. If i was actually there I'd imagine that i'd remember every single thing that he said near enuff lol

  • @aman00777

    Well, he talks just a little bit too fast for me and there are things going on at the screen behind him at the same time so i have to freeze and reverse all the time. But it might be because English is not my mother tongue.

  • Thank you! Medical professionals and lay people alike are completely uninformed with the importance of Vit D and how much influence this amazing hormone has on our health and welfare. This is my personal HOT topic! My doctor friend, DrCobar and I have started a video blog here on youtube to help inform people of important health and wellness issues and proper eating habits in addition to hypnosis, i.e. Healthy Helpful Hypnosis! Good job, very entertaining and informative! HYPNOJADE, RN

  • In regards to psoriasis, does an intake of Vitamin D orally decrease it? Or does an application topically help? If so, what topical creams have sufficient amounts of Vit D. Thanks!

  • @MacGrub3r ...He didn't mention orally for psoriasis but I would try it if it were me. There aren't very many creams with Vit D in them. You could buy the Vit D in oil capsules and puncture it with a push-pin and apply it to the skin. I would take 5000 ius orally as well. If that seemed to help a little, then I would increase it to 10,000 IUs for a few months.

  • mythbusters are the morons that sold a moon landing scam, no stars, flag blowing upside down&no blast crater undwe lander! but this seems legit...very funny gig... who did this video job for him?

  • If you're concerned with getting enough calcium eat and drink less acid forming foods which rob the body of minerals to buffer ph level. Eat more calcium rich foods such as leafy greens. There is some talk out there that calcium supplements can cause calcification. Do the research if you are interested.

  • I wouldn't reccommend suncreen either. There are ingredients in them that are cancer causing agents. Your best bet is covering up, wearing a hat, long sleeve if you are out in the sun all day. If you like to hang at the beach, get one of those sun unbrellas.

  • @angelbe88 ...I know of something that is excellent for sun exposure to use instead of sunscreen. I can't tell you the name of it because it would be considered soliciting but you can write me. It is completely natural and is an absolute wonder.

  • i really liked this video~he made his point~and he made this topic interesting and funny :)

    he seems very smart

    ty for this video being posted

  • Awesome Video. Another classic example of how we have been fed a lot of BS about sun exposure. No wonder I felt like c**p in winter and like Superman in summer.

  • I have a question. Ok how is it possible for calcium to be absorbed by the body if taken with protein? Milk is liquid protein! please explain.

    BTW great speech, I never thought vitamin D was that important!

  • @chrispanama

    Calcium will be absorbed with or without protein in the meal. However a high protein diet increases absorption in the small intestine

  • Completely AMAZING video!!! Thank you!

  • Very good info on Vitamin D :)

  • Great video and NOT BORING even better . . .

  • Wow, super info and great communication. Thank you very much sir.

  • agree with others...the very best!

  • Best medical presentation I have ever seen

  • Best presentation I have ever seen

  • What happened to the days when we used to play in the sun outside as kids? The sun is a natural,vital part of our lives. No wonder vitamin D deficiency exists today,because people are misinformed. Sensible sun exposure,and taking vitamin d supplements can improve your physical and mental health tremendously. Vitamin D rules! BIG PHARMA is the real enemy!

  • So he says to take 50,000 iu D2 every 2 weeks to increase blood levels, but then carry on taking that amount forever, wouldn't your levels keep increasing and go toxic if you did that ?

  • @TheBezerker010 The normal recommendations are to take about 5000iu per day of vitamin D3. Some will need less and some will need more. You don't get toxic if you monitor your levels and take the other minerals needed to support vitamin D (magnesium and, if it's not in your diet - calcium, zinc and K2). A really good multi vitamin will contain most of what you need in addition to the vitamin D3.

  • This was an incredibly enlightening vid. I'm going to put it to the test. Only one question:

    What does he mean at 25:22? Most vitamin bottles don't specify either way, so how do we know which we're getting?

  • @graceoverall He is talking about which blood test to order, not which form of D to take. Buy vitamin D3.

  • I started taking liquid d3 and got really bad headaches, anyone else had this ?

  • Comment removed

  • @rock2500123 Supplementing with D will quickly reveal any magnesium deficiency you may have and give you headaches. Magnesium glycinate will quickly reverse that. I always take my D with one of the calcium bone complexes that have Ca, Mg, and Vit K2, like Jarrow Boneup or Garden of Life calcium.

  • @rock2500123 Like they said - magnesium. A lot of people are already deficient in magnesium before starting vitamin D supplementation. Headaches, stiff muscles, even in some cases spasms, are caused by this. And it gets worse when you start vitamin D. And the answer is to get a good magnesium supplement. Not magnesium oxide, but a good bio available one that doesn't have too much of a laxative effect.

  • @organized4ann Magnesium Glycinate.

  • One of the best primers on vitamin D!

  • Instead of taking one 2000 IU of D3, can one take 50000 IU a week ofergocalciferol?

  • @hibler44 You could take 50 000iu per week of D3. There's at least one source of that recommended by Dr. Cannell. You might want to use that for someone who'll forget to take it, and you can administer it and make sure they take it.

  • Not a big fan of D3. I'll take D2 or sunshine every time, and run from D3.

  • @SaganAppreciationSoc

    D2 doesn't bind to vitamin d binding protein so it's not stored for future use and can lead to toxicity. D3 is more natural and can be stored for many months and there is no risk for toxicity.

  • @SaganAppreciationSoc Why do you recommend vitamin d2 and to stay away from d3?,

  • So if your levels are 30, how much do you need to take to get to 50 ?

  • you need about 2000 to 3000 UI, A good rule of thumb is every 1000 UI you take orally will translate to 10 ng/ml in your blood, i'd say everyone should take 3000 to 5000 UI per day.

  • @thehalo2renegade

    that's a lie , I take 50 000IU every day and I am only 125ng/ml

  • @gledalac1979 It's a rule of thumb. Some don't convert it effectively. But you haven't said how long you've been on 50 000iu per day. Unless you've confirmed that your level stays there consistently with several tests, I'd ease up a bit. Unless you have a very good reason for staying on that level, keep in mind it's above any level I've seen recommended so far.

  • @organized4ann

    I will take 50 000IU every day because every cell needs it and you make less of it from the sunshine as you age. People like you advocate fear mongering and I wonder if you have some sort of agenda

  • @gledalac1979 Merely pointing out that your blood levels are not (yet) recommended by the majority of docs. Also, I only know of one doc who gives his patients 50 000iu every day as a matter of course. And he describes toxicity symptoms as something that does happen on his regimen. I have no agenda. I say the average adult needs 5000iu. Some need less, and some need more. I saw to aim for 56-80 ng/mL blood levels. That's pretty mainstream.

  • @organized4ann

    who cares what the docs say? Vitamin D was not invented or made by any doc .

    5000 IU is barely enough for a new born baby let alone a grown human and you are fooling yourself thinking otherwise. I know what I am talking about, only when I started to take 50 000IU every day did the flus stopped and my hair started to grow normally

  • What if you live in a sunny climate and get adaquete sun exposure year round, do you still need a supplement ?

  • @rock2500123...

    Only if your levels are low, some people do not produce enough Vitamin D from sunlight for various reasons including a deficient diet. Remember that even in a "sunny" climate it doesn't mean the UVB is strong enough in your location to produce vitamin D in your skin.

    In other words, yes if you need it.

  • I'm not sure, but indeed people in colder climates would benefit the most from the supplements.

  • I also believe those diseases are less common in warmer climates

  • way to go einstein.

  • riccidiotcy

  • This guy is a genius :-D

  • Dr. Holick is brilliant!!

  • Even on those days where you are not at a vantage point to see planes disappear when you can't see blue sky in between white flully clouds because there is such a thick white opacity to the sky, and your windshield is coverd with a greyish metallic flake like coating, one has to wonder.

  • These kinds of skies are 10 minutes from the ocean, with no oil refinearies or manufacturing plants around. The skies are even over the ocean itself some times.

    I was just wondering if anyone has ever done a study to account for heavily chemtrailed skies..

  • The supplement to take is D3 (D-Three) which has been determined to work the most effectively. Nice thing is that it's not expensive.

  • Thank you for this Video, I was on 1000 iu for my MS. but after watching this a few days ago I started taking 10,000iu a day and I am feeling much better my balance is improving I look healthier

    and feel Great! and everyone is noticing as well :)

  • Is this guy an auctioneer?

    I'm sure he has good things to say, but it's painful to listen to. I'm havinging to listen in small chunks.

  • Great video, entertaining and informative !!

    I wonder if there have there been any studies done to investigate the effects of heavily chemtrailed skies and the possibility that they impede Vit D synthesis from skin exposure to sunlight?

    Also, are there any studies done to discover, if there are any chemicals in the air, due to active chemtrailing, or heavy chemtrail cover, which might offset the benefits of being outside for sun exposure, due to the possibility of breathing them in ?

  • Remember, UVB is able to penetrate Earth's atmosphere; It's highly doubtful that UVB would be seriously impeded by any kind of airborne pollution.

    The toxicity of varying levels of air pollution and its effects on your respiratory system are outside the scope of this lecture; everyone must make their own judgments based on their specific environment.

  • Thank you for your comment.

    Even if the airborn pollution was filled with metallic flakes, as they are in chemtrails? I ask this because i live near an airport and have seen ,post chemtrail cloud goo skies, followed with what appears to be cloud LESS skies the next day.. and i have watched planes disappear at relatively low heights into a sky that should not be obscuring my vision to that plane, given my experience with these flightpaths on other days.

  • This guys a good teacher, he includes comedy but jesus hes gotta lay off the coffee hes blurring his words

  • haha the presentation is awesome!

  • Great presentation!

  • sure beats getting your throat streached every year from MSA

  • WOWOWOWOW!!! The video has been an incredible eye opener for me! From viewing it I have no doubt that I'm significantly D-ficient.

  • @GetMeThere1 Get the blood test, don't just guess. (You may be right; get laboratory confirmation.)

  • @marcclarke01 ...The problem with a blood test is that you are getting it from some doctor who knows nothing about Vitamin D ...even less than you do.

  • How about carrots, carrot juice...or goat's milk rather than cow's milk?

  • I can drink cow's milk straight without additives and it does me no harm. I can drink processed milk without Vitamin D and it does me no harm. If ever I drink milk and eat cereal with Vitamin D, I will break out within 24 hrs.

    What I do is to avoid everything that has "Vitamin D added" and I take Cod Liver Oil.

    The Vitamin D that caused my severe acne is no longer used in Milk and cereal. They have changed it to Vitamin D3.

    I just don't like cover-ups. My face was totally destroyed.

  • I think you are mistaken.

    Can you prove the vitamin D that is present in fortified milk or fortified cereals is vitamin D3 CHOLECALCIFEROL the inert form that is biologically identical to the form your own skin makes. They may well use D2 ergocalciferol the synthetic form of the vitamin.

    I really don't know why you just don't lay naked in the sun if you have a problem with fortified milk and cereals.

    You appear to be the only person in the world to believe you react this way.

  • I am not asking for sarcasm, I just want all of the information of all of the "Vitamin D" that was ever used and still used so that I can eat food without having excruciating breakouts of acne on my skin.

  • The most common causes of acne are milk and wheat.

    Cut those out any most acne disappears.

    Loren Cordain is the acne guru

    have you followed his plan?

    search

    Implications for the Role of Diet in Acne

    These diets

    Is your diet free of processed foods, cereal grains, dairy products, refined sugars, and refined oils and almost entirely comprise unprocessed fresh, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, fish,

    and seafood?

  • I have been complaining for years to the FDA about Vitamin D. Most of what I see now says "Vitamin D 3".

    I will do an experiment for you. I will try this Cholecalciferol that you speak of and I will see what it does to me, again.

  • But other readers must be aware that your experience is unique to your body and your physiological make up.

    While it may be true that your personal beliefs are such that generate this response if you knowingly ingest D3 I do not have any evidence that D3 has ever produced these effects in any other human body.

    I believe wheat is a known cause of acne as is dairy milk. Pasteurized more so than unpasteurized, cut these out and you will improve your acne. Raising you D3 status will improve acne

  • How about carrots  or carrot juice?

  • I thought he was a brilliant speaker - very clear and not too academic.

    Im still a bit confused over the intake though - Im taking 5000 iu but from what he says youd need many times that to be harmed.

  • 1000iu/daily/d3 raises status 10ng or 25nmol/l

    Adverse events , vitamin d toxicity may occur above 200ng ~500nmol/l

    5000iu/daily usually achieves 50ng~125nmol/l

    A 25(OH)D test after supplementing for 3months is needed to confirm it is sufficient for you. Men and overweight people generally need more.

    The half life of D3 is around 3 weeks so it depreciates by about 17% a week

    80ng 200nmol/l is achieved if you live naked outdoors so if you are above that you just stop taking D3 for a few days.

  • Try coconut milk.

    Better yet, research how healthy coconuts are.

    Healthy people don't need hospitals.

    Do you really wonder why so much disinformation is disseminated by the AMA?

  • BTW, the allergic reaction is not to milk because I was able to obtain milk without Vitamin D for a week that did not give me acne. I gained 10 lbs and my skin was clear and I had never gained that much before. I happen to love milk and I now take many supplements.

  • Milk is NOT a good source of D3.

    Use 20~30 minutes full body prone sun exposure, Naked at noon or when your shadow is shorter than your height.

    Otherwise a 5000iu D3 supplement. Fortified Milk only provides 100iu per glass. Milk in UK and EEC is NOT fortified and contains no vit d.

    Correcting Vitamin D insufficiency improves glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity and helps diabetics.

  • When I was going to school, I drank two or three glasses of milk a day and I could not understand why my face just exploded with acne. It was excruciatingly painful. I sat in front of the class and one day, I made the mistake of turning around and a girl behind me screamed when she saw me. She said that she had never seen anything like that before when another girl told her not to do that. Thanks for nothing, FDA and "health experts". I understand your concerns but you have to understand mine.

  • It is the milk not the vitamin d that caused your acne.

    It is well known that acne is caused by diet.

    Milk may be fortified with D2 and some people cannot convert well D2 to D3 the form humans use.

  • I went to South America where I drank a lot of milk that did not have Vitamin D in it. I gained 10 lbs (which almost never happens) and my skin was clear. I don't believe it is the milk but if it is the milk, that is still an issue for the FDA to resolve. There is also Vitamin D in some of the cereals that I also have to stay away from. I also cannot take Vitamin D supplements unless it is cod liver oil.

  • Industrially treated milk may affect it's acne causing potential, untreated milk may be less prone to cause acne.

    "Stephan Wholehealthsourceblog acne"

    comments on possible acne triggers.

    Wheat , oil, sugar in cereals not Vitamin D are IMO the cause of acne as Vitamin D3 is inert and biologically identical to the D3 your skin makes in sun.

    The sun shines brighter (more UVB) in Southern Hemisphere. Higher Vitamin D status means higher natural antibiotic, anti inflammatory status = less acne

  • Yes, but don't confuse possible allergens in "oil". Maybe I am confusing you. It is not the actual Vitamin D but the source for getting the Vitamin D that causes acne.

    Also, the Southern Hemisphere is no different than the Northern Hemisphere. I believe that it is the tropics (near the equator) that you should be refering to.

  • In the same way I am certain you are mistaken about the cause of your acne, I know for certain you are wrong about the difference between the UVB penetration in North/South of the equator.

    More sea in south means less land and less industrial pollution and pollution blocks UVB and Earth is closer to sun during Northern Hemisphere winter, but as the North is tilted away in Norther winter only the Southern hemisphere benefits.

  • Yes, the cause of acne is diet, but the question is, "What kind of a diet?". A diet that contains FDA approved Vitamin D is what causes my acne and I can prove it at any time.

  • The amount of vitamin D in fortified foods is insignificant as far as good health is concerned.

    "Human serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol response to extended oral dosing with cholecalciferol"

    shows humans use 300~5000iu/daily D3 full text online.

    Vit D amount in cereals/milk is relatively trivial.

    Go to "pubmed" search for

    "acne vitamin d"

    and you'll understand vit d treats not causes acne.

  • It is possible that the allergy is from the sheep's hair oil that is commonly used as vitamin D. I am also somewhat allergic to things like cats and dogs so it stands to reason that I could be allergic to sheep as well. The amount of Vitamin D used is enough to cause an allergic reaction in my skin. I have to cut back on milk and cereal to clear up my skin and I usually do not even buy cereal with Vitamin D because of my allergic reaction.

  • Being allergic to D3 biologically identical to the D3 your own skin makes is unlikely. Milk ~ wheat are known allergens.

    Your report or d3 allergy is unique.

    It is therefore most likely you are mistaken.

    If it were commonly or even rarely the case that D3 caused acne there would be more reports and warnings in the medical literature. In practice researchers regularly use 5000 ~ 10,000iu/d even, (under medical supervision 40,000iu/d) without reporting acne or any other adverse event.

  • Cereal with Vitamin D gives me acne and Milk with Vitamin D gives me acne. It is not the Vitamin D itself. It is the source of the Vitamin D which also contains the allergens from wherever it came from. Keep in mind also that Vitamin D3 is a relatively new to food products as it was only recently approved and it was not even used several years ago. My observation is that there was also a change in the color of the acne that it causes since Vitamin D3 was approved by the FDA for use in foods.

  • Hundreds of thousands of people take Vitamin D3 at effective levels, rather than the virtually homepathetic levels in fortified milk and cereals without any adverse reactions whatsoever.

    Seekmosttoprophesy is totally unique and/or mistaken in his beliefs. His experience should not deter anyone else from trying to achieve the NATURAL status of 25(OH)D that Human DNA evolved living naked outdoors to thrive best with.

  • I know that I am not the only person allergic to the milk and cereal additives. I agree that the additives have changed and it would now be much harder to prove but that does not mean that it was not Vitamin D milk and cereals with Vitamin D that destroyed my face.

    Lanolin is far from "identical" to what we make from the sun. If what is used today is identical, why does it give me darker red acne that does not tend to break out as much?

  • Perhaps the you can provide clues to links leading to others complaining about this perceived problem which appears, to me, unique to you.

  • Why does Cod Liver Oil not cause breakouts?

  • Possibly because some commercial cod liver oil still has natural vitamin A

    the section

    "Interactions Between Vitamins A and D"

    may be the crux of the matter for you.

    the problem is that some other CLO has synthetic VIT A which may be as useless as synthetic VIT D2.

  • OUCH! I have an extremely painful cyst on my ear lobe from Vitamin D milk and cereal that I had yesterday. I can't make that happen by thinking about it and it only happens when I ingest things that have Vitamin D added. If I continue eating these things, the worse it gets because it also takes a long time to go away so the more I eat, the more painful it gets. When I was younger, I drank Vitamin D milk two and three times a day and the problem just got worse and worse destroying my social life.
