- Since 1950, the University Lecture has offered members of the BU community and the general public an opportunity to hear from distinguished faculty about the outstanding and often groundbreaking research and scholarship in which they are actively engaged. The 2013 University Lecture titled, The D-Lightful Vitamin D for Health was presented by Michael F. Holick, PhD, MD, Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics at the Boston University School of Medicine.
November 6, 2013
Have had depression, bad gut, prostate problems and painful knees for years. Recently started taking vitamin D3 10,000 IU and feel on top of the world. All the above have disappeared after 3 days.
I have had psoriasis since 18 Im in my 60ties now, not one doctor ever suggested Vit D in that time, many thanks been taking it since watching this 2 years after you uploaded it and I can say I am free from psoriasis thank you
How much do you take, please? I love to tell people about natural cures.
God Almighty Is Supreme!
We Are His Own Children!
Amen!
@@patriot20000 Me too the sun and lake water or the ocean always helps, also turmeric, and a whole foods plant based diet took my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis away at its worst psoriasis covered over 90 percent of my body, from my scalp face and to my toes, after the yellow fever vaccine I took to go overseas in 2014, my story is on Facebook. Gluten makes my psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis acts up again so Im not cured but its managed and I can walk and take care od my kids instead of being disabled due to the debilitating arthritis and my skin is clear now! "FORKS over Knives" documentary explains a whole foods plant based diet. This diet works great for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia and other arthritis as well. Theres stories of all kinds on line on the forks over knives website
they don't recommend vitamin D because they are taught it's dangerous. Why ? I have no idea.
that's great, and you would never have had an MD suggest any of these treatments.
I have skin issues as well and vitamin D helps greatly. Doctors always prescribe medications and they never helped.
A FANTASTIC lecture! During this period of pandemic, this information becomes all the more IMPORTANT! THANK YOU Dr. Holick! The world 'owes' you BIG!
We still see rickets in Alaska.
Wagner’s D research in SC showed D reduced birth complications.
Very kind and helpful man. I wrote him and he helped.
I've realized the sunshine 9-10 a.m makes me feel stronger, spend an hour in it and it will invigorate you.. its definitely vital to overall health 🌞
Agree, AM is better than PM sun!
I also agree, but I 'd like to know why?
@@bajajoes1 10am -2pm for 15 mins to receive the entire spectrum.
A naturopath told me to go in the sun 15-20 min. between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., to wear a hat, have arms and legs bare. Traditionally we've been told to avoid the sun at that time, but apparently this is the best time for Vit. D production.
Thank you very very much, this was extremely informative. For more than seven months now I've been experiencing severe muscle ache and bone pain. after hearing this presentation I begin supplementing with mm international units of vitamin D; and shortly thereafter I began to notice an improvement. Today I started a regiment of 5000 international units per day for the next two weeks, and believe it or not, at the end of the day, I feel twice as good as I did when I was taking the 2000 international units a day. Again thank you so much for this information
I had exactly the same experience.
I doubled mine to 6000iu/day and by the end of that same day felt better( like about 20 years younger).
well done Antonio; you have cured yourself.
@@geoffarden917 God Bless Everybody!Amen!
If you have health insurance they will pay for one test a year which I think everyone should request from their doctor. I am 67 and take 15,000 to 20,000 D with 240mic. K2 and magnesium everyday. My level is at 80ng. which is where I notice the most benefits.
10,000 iu/day of vitd3 is a maintenance dose, 20,000 - 50,000 iu/day wd b a therapeutic dose.
The answer is always in nature. If we look to those living in nature it all becomes clear. We are meant to be out in the fresh air under the open sky as much as possible.
This is why we need to be outside with sunshine!😘😊😁
Tish Leigh Definitely 👍
Not everyone can get enough D from being outdoors. Plus you need to expose a large part of your body.But yes we need our sunshine!!
This was 7 years ago. Learning about vitamin D and getting tested back in 2010 totally turned my health around. I get tested every year. I have to take 10,000iu's every day with K2 to keep from dropping below 30. My doctor will not test me twice a year. I have been at 80 before and I noticed increased immunity. I did read about taking K2 and not too much calcium . I would love a current lecture from Dr. Holick.
Hi Debbie. You can go to any walk-in blood lab and Pay to have your blood tested. They will e-mail You the results. And there is a doctor on CZcams (can't remember the name) but he/she says no one should Ever take calcium supplements. So, if you do I would definitely check out the MK7 form of K2. And research the right magnesium to take..
God Bless!Amen!
You might want to look at magnesium.
I have bought his book at least 15 times and gave it away. I share his Lectures. I have many friends that were low and had health issues that have gotten 100 percent improvements when they got their vitamin D levels up to 40 or more. I had mine at 80 and was good. But I have taken less and now I am reviewing his data again and back on 50K a week. I was at 32 when I first started taking it. There is good science, there is okay science and there is junk science. When someone like Holick is attacked you have to look at why. Who has the most to lose? Big Pharm and doctors that need sick patients. Holick met with me in Boston in 2016 and spend time with me. We talked about a lot of research. He is an amazing dedicated great guy. Love him and admire his work which is over 40 years. Do always looks at the asses out there that make up stuff to try and make someone great look like they are frauds.
50K a week? 25iu/day ? 50iu?
What is the title of his book ?
God Bless!
You are lucky to know about vitamin D early. I am 67 and keep mine at 80 presently with 15,000 to 20,000 IU's and 240mic K2. I also tell everyone about vit. D because I was tested ten years ago and was at a 6ng. I kept having recurring shingles and my thyroid was low. I changed my diet to organic foods only, lost weight, and am so grateful for spotting a book on vitamin D. It changed my life.
Would love to hear this doctor speak about the synergistic effects of
Vitamin D along with Menatetrenone (Vitamin K2) and Boron. This
combination is far superior to Vitamin D alone.
And don't forget to tell people Vit supp colcalceferol (sp?) Is a fat soluble vit, take w salmon oil, or flax or w your virgin Ovolio infused protein shake. Love those to break my fast= breakfast. Low sugar as use little juice.
@@tamaraday9421 per Weston Price org grass-fed milk/dairy has the good form of vit K.

WOW!!!!!THANK YOU, VERY MUCH, FOR POSTING THIS VITAL, INFORMATIVE, AND HUMOROUS LECTURE!!! ["SHARED" ON GAB.AI ]
I love listening to health topic videos so when this came up in my recommended for you videos, I clicked on it. Now, yes, it's a long lecture but I found it to be not only facinating but very entertaining, as well. Loved it and learned a great deal. Thank you for sharing. ☺👍☺
There is a strong correlation between the high death rate among black people in the US and vitamin D defiency. Why isn't the surgeon general talking about it. See You Tube: Vitamin D and Immunity Lots of Evidence
Cause nobody cares if the black race dies. It’s pitiful. The covid 19 so called experts say they are looking into why people of color are more affected They already know why!
@@bonitathompson1640 Don't think that they don't already have a cure. I'm sorry, I mean vaccines. They aren't going to stop their cash cow. Since we can no longer have meaningful wars, they have to get the population lower. With the technology available we don't dare mess with people with our capabilities. We could blow the world up seven times. If we wiped out 3rd world countries we'd look like the bullies we are. Now we have an over abundance of uneducated, poor and minorities that wars could have gotten rid of ( Sarcasm). The government has been paying people for years to do research on health. They have the information. ( Follow the money. ) it doesn't benefit them for you to keep your social security benefits going on past 100 because your health is great. They need us to die off naturally. Smoking, drinking, drugs, poor nutrition and of course the number reason for death. Death by Dr. They say it's the number 3 cause but we will eventually find out it's the number 1 cause.. You would be amazed at how many people died taking drugs the way the Dr.s' prescribed. They are well aware that Hippocrates had it right when he stated," Let food be they medicine ".Unfortunately now they are tampering with our food beware of GMOS. An orange today has 1/5 the nutrients it did 30 years ago. That's not an accident. Most of us would like to think that the Government would not do us any harm. Look up the autism rates for little black and brown boys after they get them mmr shots. Sorry for going off on a tangent. Bill Gates is a eugenics guy like Hitler and Margaret Sanger of planned parenthood fame. One of Hilary Clinton's idols. Margaret Sanger says Black people are like weeds that need to be exterminated. Probably why they tell all these young people to stick long term birth control in their bodies yet
who knows what harm is being done with all of those excessive amounts of hormones. Between this and mass incarceration of young black men no wonder our population remains at 13%.
It’s the same here where I live (UK) and also I’ve read the same in Sweden. Absolutely no doubt vitamin D deficiency has had an impact on the virus.
It might be that Vitamin D supplements are low cost and DIY. The medical profession can be slow to recommend self care. In the pandemic, the media talks over and over about politics and "science", yet don't often understand the specific medical science involved in inflammation. "Science" has become a magic word that few understands.
I'll w
Magnesium, not a lot of calcium, is needed when taking Vit D. Book - Magnesium Miracle
Only do calcium through food intake. Do not use calcium supplements. They will cause kidney problems.
Yes Yes Yes magnesium!
K2 also
Wendy Jones ❤️. I’m frank was having an awful day. Woke up after a nap, you tube on the iPhone playing on auto. Great stuff to sleep to. Subjects: Insulin deficiency, Metabolic syndrome you know, cause everyone does these days. I’m taking my vitamins which included 1600mgs of Magnesium, turned on Netflix and Jim Carrey’s movie 🎥 ....
“Yes man” . Well I needed so ask God and did to tell what to do plainly
Wendy Jones Wendy this is a sign of ALMIGHTY GOD. Yeses and magnesium all at once. Thanks for being part of The Miracles🎚🙏❤️🎚
What a gift to Wisconsin he was.
He's still alive and active.
Very impressive & informative. I've learnt so much and will pass this on to all I know. Thank you.
EXCELLENT presentation!!!
I tried to buy 20000 iu vitamin d to take ONCE a week. The pharmacist was very concerned I wanted this as he said it is too high a dosage and will cause calcification. Perplexed.
Just ignorance. The FDA was clueless when they made their stupid RDA recommendations. Though I would absolutely have my blood tested before and periodically if you take that much.
@@patriot20000 Once you develop a TAN, its almost impossible to get too much sun. I worked on Harvest(combining) and was in the sun 10 hrs/day in Summer for 3 months w/o shirt. Got very dark bit no ill effects.
You'll need the K2 to help there. I take mine also with magnesium and vit C. I get headaches if I don't have adequate magnesium and it is also needed with synthetic vit D.
Holick recommends 2000 IU a day. Not 20.000 a week .
Been supplementing D3, 4000 IUs per day with K2 mk7 for over 3 years and never felt better.
Swazer Swazers what about insomnia? Do you get it? When I take D3 I cannot sleep!
Wow! Great instruction! Thank you!
Look into adding vitamin K2 to control calcium.
MK7 is supposed to be best. I alternate.
Research boron as well. Helps distribute calcium and so many other benefits
Glowing chickens. A great story of persistence and serendipity.
Areas noted by plastic surgeons that should receive extra (shade) protection especially for cosmetic
reasons later, are, for women: Face, Neck, Chest "V", and back of Hands. The skin is thinner in those areas and prone to greater exposure/ breakdown, overtime. For men, it is generally the top of head/forehead area (ie., esp. those with loss of hair), nose, top of ears, and back of neck, areas that receive the most exposure/ shows breakdown, first. Repeated over exposure/sunburns (golf/outdoor occupations), etc., are typically the contributors.
However research also shows a lack of Antioxidants in the Diet may play a role, too.
Plastic Surgeons generally are not the doctors recommending head to toe SPF coverage, as noted. That would be the dermatologists.
But to be fair, these derms often see the worst of the worst, in terms of patients with terrible skin cancers.
As it is with many things, the "cause" is not always as it seemingly appears. True for all areas of life.
It's been observed that one serving/ bowel of blueberries can give the skin about 30+/- minutes of natural SPF 15 protection. Wow! So Maybe the problem has-been Diet all along? And not getting too much Sun (in terms of skin cancer), after all?
Well it takes the good work of scientists like Dr Holic and others to sort out all these details.
Once again, it looks like our original Designer was pretty smart after all.

Wow. Just wow. Really Really Good!!!
thats a great talk even for a layman. thanks.
Amazing insight, thank you and all taken on board. #love vit d3
thank you!
I see a lot of seniors here in the neighborhood. And all smoke for almost all their life. And you know what I see them taking walks around the yard in the middle simmer smoking. Is this why they don't die from it as fast as expected.
At work places there should be Sun breaks.
centpushups, not really sure what you mean by your comment about seniors smoking. Do you mean that factory made cigs are so full of Formaldehyde and is manifesting in preserving the body prior to death? Or am I far from the mark? My mother died as a direct result of her husband of 65 years passed just 24 hours before and a smoking related disease, Emphysema. RIP Mum & Dad, 11 & 12 /03/2012
Don’t smoke kids! God bless
@@carolstapleton9108 I have lost two family members to emphysema. They were on oxygen and continued to smoke. I saw what they went through and it was horrible.
I loved your lecture!!!!!!!
Incredible information.
Love Vitamin D after listening to this lecture!
This guys a legend.
Awesome work
Could it really be that most diseases that are rising rapidly in the modern day are a result of micronutrient deficiencies?
This and the switch from saturated fat to PUFAs high in omega 6
@@Augusto9588 yes!
Processed foods full of chemicals and sugar destroy your gut bacteria which should be getting organic fiber filled foods everyday so your body is healthy and not inflammed everywhere.
a friend takes 5000 IU a day, never goes into the sun, level was just 24 ng/ml.... dude isnt even obese!
Brilliant!
Interesting pre-correlation and prediction at 40:18
Very interesting lecture Thankyou
Can the rickets due to lack of vitamin D deficiency be reversed with adequate levels of the vitamin D
What about taking it with but K2???
Why now why not before.never heard this before.
I heard about it ten years ago from a book in a store. Took it to my doctor, got tested, and I was severely deficient at 6ng. Doctors prescribe drugs for symptoms. They on the average do not study nutrition in school. Sad isn't it. You really have to study it yourself and use your doctor to get tests. I get tested once a year for d and keep mine at 80ng.
After the WW2, all babies in Britain were given cod liver oil, by the government, to protect against rickets.
Came across this video from watching Stasha Gomminick
I take vid D3 and k2 every day
how is that working against covid so far?
Nice
DID HE CONTRADUCT HIS STATEMENTS IN CONCLUSION THAT WE CANT OVERDOSE ON VITD
Yet, it is easy to get tested for Vitamin D levels. If you're not sure, get tested.
Fantastic Lecture! I take Vitamin D2 due to long recovery time from surgery and allergic to STATINS. I drank 2 qts milk daily recovering from STATINS. I craved it!‼️I also have thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism. Will this help?
I'd say you were lucky to be allergic to statins. It's the biggest scam since insulin for Type 2 diabetes. SO harmful with a .5 to 1.5% (yes!) benefit! You could get from eating an apple or taking a walk. And that pitiful benefit is ONLY for people who have already had a heart attack! So don't you think Some of those people started exercising and/or eating better? I begged my s-i-l (who had no issues but age 57) not to take it. She started getting terrible leg pains, she said it must be from her new winter boots. I begged her again to stop. Finally she did. The leg pains went away. She still wears the boots, no problems. I have studied health and nutrition for 45 years. Please people, DON'T take this crap.
@@patriot20000 For those who think they need STATINS, consider that your BRAIN is mostly Cholesterol & what STATINS are doing to it.
Most folks who begin STATINS suffer great pain from STATINS.
@@patriot20000 you are absolutely right. I sat in on a panel discussion of statins. Out of 100 people it only helps 13. Eight real well and 5 moderately and those are people with prior heart issues. It doesn't benefit African Americans, women or the elderly. It only really benefit middle aged caucasian males. Perhaps that is why you only see them in the commercials. By the way if you aren't a middle aged caucasian male , you are more likely to end up with diabetes.
Cynthia, you may want to cut back on your milk consumption if it comes out of a cow. There's a joke about how every time they do a milk study they use skim milk. Most people don't drink skim milk. The reason that they use skim milk is that they want you to be around at the end of the study. The bovine growth hormone in milk will mess most people up in time. Most of us loose the ability to break down lactic acid after we turn 2.
Cynthia McClure, take Lugalls solution iodine for your thyroid issues. You will thank me later. It doesn't matter if you have hypo or hyper it fixes both. People use to have problems back in the day with iodine deficiency and were developing goiter. They started adding it to salt and that worked for a little bit. Then people cut back on salt.
You're such a great scientist/speaker that I will overlook the evolution part... LOL
It's Science.
@@jasonchambers8010
No, its a hypothesis - never proven scientifically. Therefore, it developed into a religion, hiding behind a fake science mask.
Look into the real scientific Intelligent Design work of those like Stephen Meyer and check out Ben Stein's EXPELLED NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED.
Can you link vitamin d deficiency to contributing to pulmonary embolism?
It's usually related to smoking, heart disease, lack of exercise/inactivity, or birth control bills.
You might look into getting the microbiome ..gut bacteria healthy so you reduce the inflammation in your lungs.
In the Island we hardly.see doctors.never heard of vitamins.we just eat healthy, but when we left the Island very different world.
So next time you see a diagram with neat arrows going from the sun to the skin to the liver to the kidneys, you now know the wild west science it took to figure that out.

@1:37:00 Prime example of how "experts" are able to revise reality and cause widespread ill health,for the "team".Iodide was also removed in healthy levels from food and now we get a pittance,just enuf to reduce obvious goiter.
Apparently Dr Brownstein who uses iodine treatment with his patients has been asked by the FDA to stop publishing his blog where there are testimonials from his patients.

I´m impressed, very informative and interesting. And logic and convincing as well. Why is it that you don't advocate sensibly tanning or solarium? If 90-95% of the vitamin D comes from this naturally source of light, shouldn't you advocate these resources? I guess that your problem is that dermatologists or cancerorganizations will go berserk if you did advocate this but is there any other reason?
he supports UVB exposure as the best source for ''making'' D3....Solariums and tanning salons that have the ''narrow wavelength'' UVB light could be an alternate source for UVB rays...
Most of the year sunlight is not consistent. Just getting a supplement for these areas is better. But time needed varies from person by gender, skin type, and age.
THE AMA & ADA ARE HEADED UP BY VERY EVIL GROUPS ...
So simple... Yet, now, paralysed by pharma, we're back in the dark ages when it comes to medical treatment. Before the invention of antibiotics the infected was treated with fresh air and sunshine:
medium.com/@ra.hobday/coronavirus-and-the-sun-a-lesson-from-the-1918-influenza-pandemic-509151dc8065
There is a holistic doctor who recommends a certain type of tanning bed if you can't get sun. Dr. Joel Fuhrman, I think. Lucky guy walks on the beach in CA every day.

1:35:45 "I’ve been taking 50,000 IU of D3 daily for the last year"
And what difference have you noticed ?

br
I take 1,000 IU each day, but as the weather is warm where i live at the moment 20-30 minutes outside in the sun also gives me 20,000 IU, I believe.
Usually people take that amount every other day or once a week. Are you taking K2 with it. Are you getting tested for D levels once a year?
Rebuttal to critics of vitamin supplements.

In the slide "stratagy" was misspelled. Grrr....
Striking how many failures before achieving success... Perseverance wins the race!
Interesting that lack of Vit D in women during growth years reduces the size of the pelvic structure; thereby causing problems to give birth naturally. With women only allowed limited amount of C-sections; sunscreen lotion on young growing girls yet another way to reduce population by hampering bone growth; this besides for reducing fertility in general as explained... sigh.
How can it be that Statin use has no effect on Vit D production, and why still projecting fear to sun exposure while promoting sun block lotions? Seems obvious that less Cholesterol available in skin would result in less D manufactured; with low fat diets, Cholesterol lowering drugs and limited sun exposure contributing factors?
And if I can generalize: African blacks have larger mouths full of beautiful white teeth. No braces ever needed and no cavities. Related to all that sun? My African friends had Zero cavities and never needed white strips! Meanwhile, I have a mouth full of fillings and needed braces. Almost every white kid I know needed braces. Our jaw bones are too small.
44min why did he jus blow through the fact that ONLY wild caught Salmon HAS D!!?? FYI they eat plankton so the main source is PLANT BASED
Farmed salmon has VD... it’s like 25% of your daily value where wild is 32%.
Humans usually cannot absorb the vitamins in the form they come from in algae. Like vitamin B3.
You can get D from an algae sourced supplement if I remember or maybe I am thinking of omega 3's!
revolting slaughter of innocent creatures. all proceeds from the patent should be donated to animal welfare organizations
To all these people here recommending vitamins and minerals, the AMA and the pharmaceutical industry wants you to know that most of these remedies are unproven and anecdotal at best and it's hurting their business. Now you have a major University pushing this crap! It's a proven fact that the human body evolved and was designed so that one day thousands of years later, the pharmaceutical industry would come up with substances not found in nature that cure the human body. Vitamins and minerals don't cure illness. That's just silly. The body needs drugs!
Hope you're being sarcastic, the Hippocratic oath is do no harm, and use food as thy medication, the body is capable of healing it's self, with nutrition, all Pharmaceutical drugs are poison, you can't overdose on food,
Not really up to date.
Because?
