  • Excellent discussion of clear evidence that Vitamin D deficiency underlies many diseases. There is a clear relationship between lack of sunlight, or Vitamin D, and the occurrence of autoimmune diseases, infections, cancer and calcium deficiency. Your goal in attempting to avoid these diseases is to maintain Vitamin D3 levels of 50-70 nanograms per milliliter. You can safely take 2000 to 4000 iu Vitamin D3, depending on weight and height. Check the results with a 25(OH)D test. Adjust up or down.

  • As a Finn I would like to add a comment concerning the possible reasons for the upsurge of diabetes instances from mid 1990s onwards.

    When I was a child in early 1970s children had a tendency to spend most free time outside with friends by playing soccer, hockey etc.

    1994 brought a big change in internet revolution. Kids were no longer intersted to stay outside. Instead free time was more and more spent in front of the PC. This reduced dramatically exposure to sun.

  • I was lucky enough to be seated next to Frank on an international flight, which gave us plenty of time to talk. What an interesting man! I really enjoyed meeting him and discussing his theories and discoveries. He was happy to share his notes and charts with me. His arguments about the value of Vitamin D were very convincing.

    Nice guy, to boot.

    RIP, Frank

  • great video, very informative one. love it

  • I purely love your Youtube Channel. I'm glad to be able to see that you have the Best Youtube Selections here. Keep it up.

  • really enjoyed watching your videos - you gotta stop or im gonna be glued to the computer

  • I love it when smart people get their hands on real information. Nice job! Keep up the good work :-D

  • Statistical correlation and causality are two different things. The change in recommended dose and actual doseage would also vary. How many people actually supplement their children? the study showing significantly lower incidence of Type 1 Diabetes was based upon how many subjects and how were they vetted?

    I'm not saying that he hasn't made a point just that mega doses may not be the proper remedy rather than faithful consumption of the recommended doseage. This warrants further research!

  • Sadly,Dr.Frank Garland just recently passed on,only 2 days ago. He will be sadly missed.
