I'm in awe. I don't even know what to say. This Dr. is amazing. My stepmother sent me this video and I'm so thankful for her :) Just got 5000 IU's of vitamin D3 and I'm going to start taking them.
@BoundaryShift The amount of vitamin D3 to take per day varies tremendously between individuals. I took 50,000 IU per day for over a year and had healthy levels... others may only need 5,000-10,000 IU to achieve the same results. Blood work is essential for proper monitoring.
I have been taking D3 5k nightly for almost a year. This was my Dr. regiment and what this man is saying is 100% correct. No flu shot in five years, no more CYST in my breast, along with SUPER B COMPLEX my energy level is crazy.
I'm a PA. We go through medical school no different than MD's, just a shorter duration in school 3:4 ration time wise. We then get on the job training. They do a residency. We are not taught jack about preventative medicine. There is absolutely no connect b/w the body-mind-spirit. Everything is very mechanistic and linear. If something doesn't generate money, it is never considered real medicine. This is the basis. So, it's not like most MD's are lying, they just don't know better.
All of you think Vitamin D is amazing? Sure it is but there is even more miraculous stuff out their. Do your research, Vitamin D is a bottom feeder compared to some of amazing life that comes out of the ground and water's these days.

Stop eating PROCESSED FOOD, EXERCISE, take good supplements, eat only organic products, eat LESS meats (once a day if not at all), no drugs or smoking, little alcohol. See the results.
It's incredible how the amazing effects of vitamin D are constantly belittled by health authorities and their loyal servants a.k.a doctors. Personally I've never felt this good, having taken D for several months. My acne and seasonal depression have gotten SO MUCH better.

@Squabbles10 In my research at first I thought you needed doctor injections, but I found a doctor that said very high doses taken throughout the day, would be equivalent to injections.

@Squabbles10 well there was a not so scientific study that found that patients that were taking 2,000 i.u. daily were completely not getting sick in a section of a hospital, where everyone else was. So that's a good start. I find 2,000 i.u. to be readily available in my local markets.

Ever since I started Vit D haven't been sick once. Brother even had swine flu... didn't get it. I'd try it.
I want all of you to pray for me. My uncle was just diagnosed with cancer.

This woman is a judge, not a dumb person. She won't even add vitamins to his regimen. She won't do anything the doctor won't tell her to do. She lost her daughter to chemo in 3 months. :(
Just vitamins? Vitamins ONLY work over a long period of time, tissues often take 3-6months to restore levels of depleted vitamins. Treating with vitamins alone is NOT a treatment.
@indigo11274 it's the deficiencies which are the causes of most if not all major illnesses. How can you argue with medical fact? These tests that they put the vitamins through and ended up winning nobel prizes are based on a regimen of high doses of vitamins. At the cellular level, that is the very thing the cells need, for repair, reproduction, energy production, and proper decay. No drug is going to do that. NO DRUG.
To say "only vitamins" is like saying "only oxygen for breathing?"
I'm not arguing that Vitamin D has many benefits. I was simply stating that ONLY vitamins does not provide a cure to cancer. Treating cancer with ONLY vitamin D is NOT a good idea, it will lead to death. Vitamin D and cancer drugs is a great idea, ONLY vitamin D is bad.
@indigo11274 sir it is both a medical and scientific fact that "cancer drugs" i.e. chemotherapy are anti-cellular, as in kills cells. they do not kill cancer cells, they kill all cells. there is no drug treatment to date that cures/ halts/ arrests/ remove cancer from the human body.
you're right vitamin D alone isn't a cute. you need C, A, B12 b3, b6 all in high doses. YOu need a battery of pure vitamins to halt arrest and reverse cancer.

it is fat soluble, but the levels you'd need to even reach the minimum floor of toxicity is astronomical. just sitting in the sun for 20 minutes gives you over 20k vitamin D
It depends on where you live. If you live where we do - Chicago area - it is impossible to get ANY vitamin D from the sun all winter. It is well known that this is true for much of the globe.
oh i was just saying not to be afraid of reaching a toxic level by taking 2,000 i.u. daily of a vitamin D pill because the sun will give you tens of thousands.
big pharmaceutical companies try and scare people about taking vitamins by saying "watch out for toxic levels of vitamins"... it's like saying don't breath too much air. in the past 40 years only 10 people have died from "allegedly" vitamin related causes. even those 10 are unconfirmed.
Thank god there isn't at least 1 doctor bought and sold by big pharma.

VITAMIN D is made from CHOLESTEROL which is essentially a PRECURSOR for the mineral. This is why its important to increase your levels of Cholesterol in the winter months to avoid issues like DEPRESSION. Vite D is more of a HORMONE anyway than a Vitamin per se (as Dr. PRENDERGAST says here). And HORMONES affect your MOOD as well as your physical health. For example, SEROTONIN levels can be manipulated per Vite D efficacy. Dr. Moo-Twahz, N.D.
Taking vitamin d as a supplement doesn't seem natural per se, even though it's a natural substance. If you think about it, getting vitamin d from sunshine is the most natural, but for people living in northern climates, they seem to get their vitamin d from animal liver and/or fish.
Yes, sunshine is the most common source of vitamin D. That is why your system pumps cholesterol into the blood. When the cholesterol reaches the skin it is converted to vitamin D and returned to every cell in the body. However, People above 35 degrees latitude cannot use the sun in winter becasue the zenith angle of the sun is too great for the UV to reach the ground. That is why they supplement October-April.
Fish oil is wonderful, but won't give you enough D. In the north, mushrooms that were dried, gill side up in the sun were another very important source of D. Cod liver oil has too much A for building D levels up- traditional people had restrictions on how much liver they took.
KSVAUGHAN: Great point. However, if you RUB the CODLIVER on your skin, this will increase the bio-availability of the VITE D. Especially, in conection with any SUN/DAYLITE you may get.
I have ms and have been taking 50,000iu of d3 a day for 3 months now. MY level was 21ng/ml in sept and that was after floating around my pool all summer. I can only imagine how low it gets by march or so. Anyways I feel sooooooooo much better and am starting to move better. if my house was burning down this d3 bottle is the one thing I would grab before going out.
@414gbg How much Vitamin D a day do you take? And what is your experience? I take 6000 IU per day, have done this for 18 months now. Never been cold or sick during this time. The first four months I took 4000 IU/day and raised my level to 32 ng/ml - which is not enough. Will do a test again in January. Greetings from Ulricehamn, Sweden.
I take 50 000 IU per day, I split one capsule and mix it make sure it is binding evenly to some liquid fat. Your body can produce up to 250 000 IU of Vit D per day during the summer, and the summer is our healthiest time of the year (most bone regrowth, most pronounced ndocrine activities, highest levels of growth hormones and testosterone, most insuline sensitive etc). So 50 000 IU/day is only comparable to a semi-sunny summer day :)
@414gbg Make sure you don't overdose, oral dosing is not the same as your body making it. Above 30,000 has been shown to be toxic(from not enough K2, MG, ZN) for some. I am a believer in D3 because it wiped out my flu in a matter of hours. The only thing left was a headache which was probably caused by not enough magnesium (green leafy vegetables, nuts, and seeds).
ok my blood level was 202ng/ml!!!Doc wants me to cut back. I cut down to 20,000iu per day and spasticity has increased urination has increased, much more fatigue.. I don't know what to do, I feel soooo much better on the 50,000iu of d3 but i do not want to fry my kidneys,. Any suggestions?
What do you mean by spasticity? I didn't know that was related? MY D was 13 ml a month ago, at the same time I was having dizzy/fainting spells and spastic effect in my lelft leg when I walked. I am now on 2,000 ml D a day, and the other symptoms are gone. Is that related?
Spacisticity is related to Vitamin D levels, but also magnesium and iron. If you live north of Atlanta and your blood levels are that low, you may want to consider 5000-10,000 iu. And a colloidal magnesium supplement (liquid form).

only for short periods of days only
there are 3 levels of taking VITIMAN D
level ONE IS NORMAL INTAKE which is 400 to 500 per-day
level 2 is optimal level of 2000 per day, but should only be taken for 2 to 3 days at that level
level 3, which is 2500 and above "which is danger levels" and only should ever be taken if ordered by a doctor, BUT DAM YOU WOULD HAVE TO serous low level of vitiman D ..... lol
rubbish. check the vitamin d council website. Toxicity occurs at 40,000iu over one year. 10,000iu for example is fine and what you make from 30min full-body exposure in the midday sun. The Upper Tolerable Limit is 2000iu becuase there isn't enough good quality research on toxicity
Absolutely spot-on! I had unstable blood pressure, landing me in the ER on several occasions w/paramedics fearing I'd stroke. I thankfully found a doctor who KNEW about Vit D deficiency, ran my levels and mine was 4! Within 8 weeks on Carlson's Lemon -Flavored Cod Liver Oil & balanced Cal/Mag, my level was 35 and NO MORE blood pressure issues UNLESS I allow my levels to fall from not keeping my Vitamin D levels up. Personally, I feel the Carlson's to have NO flavor and I take it at bedtime.
My doctor told me that there is an epedemic in America of people with low Vit D. I am one of those, with low Vit D counts at about 17.6 (whatever standard measurement it was.) Our society which demands you work indoors for long hours during the daytime is most likely the cause of this epedemic. Humans are adjusting though through evolution from outdoor work to indoor work, and I'm sure the body will compensate for the lack of Vit D from the sun.
I could not agree more best video and totally honest. I've seen vitamin d and A and zinc magnesium and calicium regenerate deteriorated back disks. Personally since I started takeing this I have not had to have any more precancerous moles removed or biopsies done. Really amazing stuff. I was averageing about four spots a year being removed now not a trace of skin cancer highly recomended. Although I thought it took 3 months to start working thats what I was told. I could be wrong.
I have been studying benefit of vitami D for 5 years and Dr. Prendergast is exactly right. If anyone needs vitamin D for fighting cancer, I will mix it up at any concentration the cancer victim wants and send it out for $20 to cover shipping and handling costs.
I've taken one 50,000 IU capsule of Vitamin D3 a day since mid-March '07. I have Multiple Sclerosis and was certain that by the end of 2007 I would have to always use a wheelchair.. The D3 is the only thing I take for my M.S, anymore, and it is definitely the reason that I am now able to:

I am one of Dr. Prendergast's patients. So yes, he is the real Dr. Prendergast. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I've taken 50,000 IU capsules of Vitamin D3 for more than five months, and it has made it possible for me to no longer have to use my wheelchair or cane. I know this seems incredible, I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't happening to me.
Google "Vitamin D casts cancer prevention in new light" and you will find if you follow the freerepublic link, an article trailing new research showing how 60% few cancers occur in those with higher Vitamin d status.
The Vitamin D council has on it's links page sources of high strength vitamin d3.
Google "Human serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol response to extended oral dosing with cholecalciferol1" to read the research showing your body uses between 3000 and 5000iu Vitamin D3 daily.
This paper "Risk assessment for vitamin D" by John N Hathcock, Andrew Shao, Reinhold Vieth and Robert Heaney explains why using high strength vitamin d3 is absolutely safe.
you can get the D-3 in 50,000 IU Dose wihout a prescription in the US. I've been taking it at that strength once per day since mid-March '07 and will continue to do this through mid September '07.

Taking vitamin d as a supplement doesn't seem natural per se, even though it's a natural substance. If you think about it, getting vitamin d from sunshine is the most natural, but for people living in northern climates, they seem to get their vitamin d from animal liver and/or fish.
DerekChaunessey 2 years ago
Yes, sunshine is the most common source of vitamin D. That is why your system pumps cholesterol into the blood. When the cholesterol reaches the skin it is converted to vitamin D and returned to every cell in the body. However, People above 35 degrees latitude cannot use the sun in winter becasue the zenith angle of the sun is too great for the UV to reach the ground. That is why they supplement October-April.

Fish Oil is the best source! I drink 5ml everyday!
kjekay 3 years ago
Fish oil is wonderful, but won't give you enough D. In the north, mushrooms that were dried, gill side up in the sun were another very important source of D. Cod liver oil has too much A for building D levels up- traditional people had restrictions on how much liver they took.
ksvaughan2 2 years ago
KSVAUGHAN: Great point. However, if you RUB the CODLIVER on your skin, this will increase the bio-availability of the VITE D. Especially, in conection with any SUN/DAYLITE you may get.

I have ms and have been taking 50,000iu of d3 a day for 3 months now. MY level was 21ng/ml in sept and that was after floating around my pool all summer. I can only imagine how low it gets by march or so. Anyways I feel sooooooooo much better and am starting to move better. if my house was burning down this d3 bottle is the one thing I would grab before going out.

@414gbg too much vitamin d is toxic.
calberkeley01 1 year ago
@414gbg How much Vitamin D a day do you take? And what is your experience? I take 6000 IU per day, have done this for 18 months now. Never been cold or sick during this time. The first four months I took 4000 IU/day and raised my level to 32 ng/ml - which is not enough. Will do a test again in January. Greetings from Ulricehamn, Sweden.

@robert4you
I take 50 000 IU per day, I split one capsule and mix it make sure it is binding evenly to some liquid fat. Your body can produce up to 250 000 IU of Vit D per day during the summer, and the summer is our healthiest time of the year (most bone regrowth, most pronounced ndocrine activities, highest levels of growth hormones and testosterone, most insuline sensitive etc). So 50 000 IU/day is only comparable to a semi-sunny summer day :)

@414gbg Many thanks for your answer. :-)
robert4you 1 year ago
@414gbg Make sure you don't overdose, oral dosing is not the same as your body making it. Above 30,000 has been shown to be toxic(from not enough K2, MG, ZN) for some. I am a believer in D3 because it wiped out my flu in a matter of hours. The only thing left was a headache which was probably caused by not enough magnesium (green leafy vegetables, nuts, and seeds).

ok my blood level was 202ng/ml!!!Doc wants me to cut back. I cut down to 20,000iu per day and spasticity has increased urination has increased, much more fatigue.. I don't know what to do, I feel soooo much better on the 50,000iu of d3 but i do not want to fry my kidneys,. Any suggestions?
kcapozza 2 years ago
What do you mean by spasticity? I didn't know that was related? MY D was 13 ml a month ago, at the same time I was having dizzy/fainting spells and spastic effect in my lelft leg when I walked. I am now on 2,000 ml D a day, and the other symptoms are gone. Is that related?
Jozzeline 2 years ago
Jozzeline,
Spacisticity is related to Vitamin D levels, but also magnesium and iron. If you live north of Atlanta and your blood levels are that low, you may want to consider 5000-10,000 iu. And a colloidal magnesium supplement (liquid form).
ksvaughan2 2 years ago
Slowly cut back until your body gets used to it.

only for short periods of days only
there are 3 levels of taking VITIMAN D
level ONE IS NORMAL INTAKE which is 400 to 500 per-day
level 2 is optimal level of 2000 per day, but should only be taken for 2 to 3 days at that level
level 3, which is 2500 and above "which is danger levels" and only should ever be taken if ordered by a doctor, BUT DAM YOU WOULD HAVE TO serous low level of vitiman D ..... lol
bigbother1 2 years ago
rubbish. check the vitamin d council website. Toxicity occurs at 40,000iu over one year. 10,000iu for example is fine and what you make from 30min full-body exposure in the midday sun. The Upper Tolerable Limit is 2000iu becuase there isn't enough good quality research on toxicity

Absolutely spot-on! I had unstable blood pressure, landing me in the ER on several occasions w/paramedics fearing I'd stroke. I thankfully found a doctor who KNEW about Vit D deficiency, ran my levels and mine was 4! Within 8 weeks on Carlson's Lemon -Flavored Cod Liver Oil & balanced Cal/Mag, my level was 35 and NO MORE blood pressure issues UNLESS I allow my levels to fall from not keeping my Vitamin D levels up. Personally, I feel the Carlson's to have NO flavor and I take it at bedtime.

My doctor told me that there is an epedemic in America of people with low Vit D. I am one of those, with low Vit D counts at about 17.6 (whatever standard measurement it was.) Our society which demands you work indoors for long hours during the daytime is most likely the cause of this epedemic. Humans are adjusting though through evolution from outdoor work to indoor work, and I'm sure the body will compensate for the lack of Vit D from the sun.

Personally since I started takeing this I have not had to have any more precancerous moles removed or biopsies done. Really amazing stuff. I was averageing about four spots a year being removed now not a trace of skin cancer highly recomended. Although I thought it took 3 months to start working thats what I was told. I could be wrong.

- read books and newspapers again
- speak more clearly
- see things in focus instead of blurry
- have a conversation with a group of people at a table instead of being able to handle only one person at a time
- be in the sun without very rapidly "wilting" and going back inside (and no direct sunshine eliminate the body's production of Vitamin D)

I am one of Dr. Prendergast's patients. So yes, he is the real Dr. Prendergast. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I've taken 50,000 IU capsules of Vitamin D3 for more than five months, and it has made it possible for me to no longer have to use my wheelchair or cane. I know this seems incredible, I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't happening to me.

The Vitamin D council has on it's links page sources of high strength vitamin d3.
Google "Human serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol response to extended oral dosing with cholecalciferol1" to read the research showing your body uses between 3000 and 5000iu Vitamin D3 daily.
This paper "Risk assessment for vitamin D" by John N Hathcock, Andrew Shao, Reinhold Vieth and Robert Heaney explains why using high strength vitamin d3 is absolutely safe.
