    Low Vitamin D can cause symptoms equivalent to the start of Alzheimer's, it can also cause muscle twitches.

    Thank you Dr. Rehl, in July 2020, I watched this video with great interest, after having had chronic sleep aponea for the last ten years. At 21 minutes into the video I saw the difference in the airways of the mice and decided to go onto Vitamin D and K2. I started out low and gradually worked my way up to Vitamin D (8,000 IU) and K2 (200mg) daily. I noticed a massive difference within two weeks, sleeping better, shorter, waking up refreshed. Here I am a year later, and my massage therapist says I don't have sleep apnoea any more when I fall asleep during her sessions. However, if I go off the D, I notice a near immediate difference after only a couple of days of being totally exhausted. Thank you, so much!! Now, if only I could sort out my chronic tinnitus?!

    Thank you so much for this presentation. My doc recommended that I take 4000 IUs of D3, and it has helped me. Must admit didn’t take it daily. I paused this video half way through and took a D3 capsule. I have to let my doc know she was spot on. Also when I heard the lecturer talk about cod liver oil...my mind flashed back to those days when it was mandatory for us kids to swallow a tablespoon of that nasty stuff, chased with a quarter orange...daily, up to age 14. I thought my parents were inflicting “cruel and unusual punishment.” However, being African American, that “cruel and unusual punishment” (so I thought) was one of the best things my parents could’ve done for me.

      Jen Pollard, how very true. I had an experience when I was building a radio station for a guy a few years ago and we were out in the sun all day. I have been taking Dr Wallach's 90 Essential Nutrients for about 20 years, and I did not burn at all. My friend, who I was building the radio station for, is African American and he was out in the sun working all day just like I was. The bottom line is, he experienced a sunburn, but I did not even though I am white, and so it's more than just getting enough Sun, you have to have your body tuned with all the nutrients needed to keep everything in top-notch condition to convert the serum cholesterol in your skin into Vitamin D3. If you listen to your doctor and he says get off of all cholesterol containing foods, you are headed for disaster or, if you are taking cholesterol reducing drugs, you will be causing Alzheimer's disease and many other problems.

      @@marcofogli4317 Actually, there is ZERO evidence that any dose below 30,000 IUs a day causes harm. There have been cases where people have accidentally taken 2,000,000 IUs a day for weeks, and the symptoms produced were easily fixed just by discontinuing the excessive dose. Just half an hour of sun in summer in Oslo Norway (!) will produce 10,000 to 20,000 IUs of vitamin D in the skin

    Wow, this Dr. just validated something I have wondered about. After heart attack, three way by pass I quit being outside. One year later I'm diagnosed out of the blue with Advanced RA. Now I have it in my lungs. All the sudden I have allergies, post nasal drip & diagnosed with a lung infection that's not curable. I cough non stop & cough up heavy amounts of phlegm . I could go on.
    The good part...approx a month ago I remembered I had tested very low in Vit D & magnesium. I started taking 10,000 IU daily. I didn't know the connection between low Vit D levels & respiratory infections. I have noticed a substantial amount less coughing etc. I even feel like a cloud has lifted. I never made the lack of sun & air connection , now I know because I sat in the house for 9 years ! Such good news. No wonder the powers that be are trying to block out the sun !

      HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) contains 50% glucose + 50% glucose. Table sugar is composed of the same ratio as the above and breaks down quickly to the equivalent of HFCS in the gut. Honey is basically HFCS. So you see, Honey, HFCS, and table sugar are diet-wise, equivalents of one another. So any of these things are harmful when they compose too large a portion of our calorie intact. And BTW, Cane Sugar IS table sugar (sucrose) - no better than HFCS!

    Massively helpful. Being a composium of actual studies it gives viewers additional confidence to the many anecdotal ones.
    ALSO IT CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH THAT NORMAL FAMILY DOCTORS HAVE VERY LITTLE INSTRUCTION IN THE FIELD OF FOOD AND MEDICINE. You are unlikely to get much help there.
    So it's up to you to get yourself informed.
    Also bear in mind that as you age your needs for such valuable nutrients vastly increase. At sixty years old your needs for this one item may be a half dozen times more than a twenty year old.
    So perhaps it can be understood why we become ever more vulnerable to illness as we age.
    Remember too, the number of people who die of vitamin overdose is probably zero. But death from prescribed pharmaceutals is the third or fourth leading cause of mortality year on year.

    About 7 years ago, I started vitamin D dosing. I came about doing it through researching and living through ADHD. At the time I was transferred to a different department in my Company and due to the job's inherent dangers I quickly discovered how my HDHD could get me severely injured or killed if I don't do something about my lack of mindfulness and brain fog. Up to that point I've learned life skills to help me manage it. Albeit I also take other supplements but I do truly believe that once I started the vitamin D the brain fog disappeared. My ability to concentrate dramatically improved. Most of if not all of the associated issues of ADHD have disappeared so much so that one would be hard pressed to define what is a norm and what is not. I just wanted to share this is my personal experience and testimony to Vitamin D supplementation. That being said, I've been with the same organization for 8 years. I am now a team leader. I am truly blessed and I also know that medicine and vitamins are not a cure all, we need spirituality and guidance from caring people to make our lives work.

    I’ve had chronic Asthma and severe allergies my whole life. I’ve participated in numerous studies at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville TN. About 25 yrs ago, thru my own research and dietary modifications, My condition greatly improved. Once I began addressing my vitamin D deficiency, Trips to the ER for Asthma attacks stopped completely. Reoccurring sinus infections became a rarity. I still have Asthma and carry my rescue inhaler, but my symptoms are rare. I take a vitamin D supplement to this very day, and spend quality time in the sun throughout the week.

      Mj I wish I could tell you what I’ve had to deal with having a Vitamin D deficiency (that I was unaware of) for so long... Some of the medications I took for asthma over the years (Prednisone) actually depleted nutrients and caused permanent bone damage... Imagine being 30 yrs old with Osteopenia. I’m an African American, and discovered that we tend to have a vitamin D deficiency in general. Addressing the issue thru diet and supplements brought great relief. My diet these days is mostly plant based, (No pork, No beef, No shellfish) and has resulted in better breathing, better sleeping, and better overall health as I get older. The best part is that I spend far less on quality food and a Vitamin D3 supplement, than I could spend on medications for allergy and Asthma.

He too carry’s an inhaler, but we have now bought another type of inhaler/nebuliser that sells for around £ 30/40 and you can use it with saline solution of natural salt not table salt and colloidal silver, so now maybe he can now break free from having to visit his Doctor. 😄😎

      Margaret FitzGerald When I stopped eating beef, the seasonal issues I had for years improved, particularly at the start of winter and spring; as you may know, many asthmatics also experience Gastrointestinal issues along with the asthma; those issues stopped completely when I removed beef from my diet. One tip I’d like to pass along... On days when I feel a little congested, I have a cup of black coffee (No cream, No sugar) with 2 sprinkles of cayenne pepper for fast relief... Tell your husband to give that a try sometime.

    It's important to take into account the daily supplement IU value should be increased for darker skinned individuals due to melanin blocking conversion of Vitamin D3. AND, the studies do not mention whether or not the people in the trials were deficient to begin with. Therefore, if you have symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency start on a higher dose. Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency/Insufficiency before reaching extremes of rickets or osteomalacia are observed as: muscle/joint pain, extreme fatigue, brain fog (poor memorization), depression, to only mention a few. I suggest looking up keywords like "my vitamin d deficiency story" in order to hear from real patients and their journeys.

      C DV Yes It can be for some, my husbands chronic asthma went away once on a high but safe dose of D3, +K2 though in winter his asthma came back again so he upped his D3 +K2 and his asthma went away again. Hasn’t needed his two inhalers for months now. Though dog dander in a confined space can set him off on another type of asthma attack, so he still carries an inhaler. We have recently bought a portable hand held nebuliser so he can use with natural salt, or colidal silver. Only around £40 to buy, works great, but hasn’t needed it for asthma attack yet. Be aware that some steroid inhalers can actually cause asthma, look at the listed side effects, not many patients do, he found out the hard way.

      ​@@margaretfitzgerald9670 Please note that colloidal silver has side effects as well, but because there is no evidence that it does any good, it's not regulated as a drug so they don't have to list them. If you want natural remedies/placebos to treat his condition maybe you should consider sticking to ones that are safe? Salt in a nebulizer is probably a much better option, though apparently it can irritate some people's airways. (This might save you some money: as you said "natural salt", all salt sold in stores is actually natural. Most salt (like Morton salt) is mined out of the ground from ancient lake/ocean beds that slowly evaporated and then eventually were covered by sediment. Some people try to claim that that salt isn't natural so they can charge exorbitant prices to sell you same thing, NaCl.) I hope his condition continues to improve.

    The melanoma panic induced in parents which peaked about twenty years ago and saw them dressing their kids from top to toe every time they went to the beach probably has a lot to answer for. Gentle exposure to the sun (for all except those with abnormally fair complexions) is not only healthy in terms of Vit D, but it fortifies the skin against further exposure, making sunburns less likely. It is sun BURN, not casual exposure, which seems to tip the balance towards melanoma.

    Years ago I remember a friend telling me that her niece had lupus so I thought well I should look that up and find out if it's related to a mineral or vitamin deficiency I did some research and I found out that lack of vitamin D can contribute to lupus..
    Well make this long story short I told her to contact her mother and get the doctor to check to see if she's in I need a vitamin D and because I was not a nurse and I don't know what I'm talkin about they didn't bother checking it. Number one they said because she was the flag girl she got enough vitamin D but I remember she used to put suntan lotion and sunscreen on her body all the time so I'm sure that must have blocked the vitamin D. Nobody listens to me a year later she had a massive heart attack about about three weeks before she died the doctor finally checked your vitamin D and it was so lowest that they had ever seen. She had a whole year to tell her niece mother to check the vitamin D I mean why didn't the doctor think of that? I'm no nurse I have no degree but it's good to do some research yourself I didn't think that would have made too much of a big difference but I said at least try to see what she's lacking. Oh well you can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink and besides there's a lot of people that are Dr worshippers and this a lot of doctors that can have a tendency to be narcissistic and there's doctors I will not test you for your vitamins and the minerals in your body so just keep giving you drugs to cover it up any ailment but then there's the good doctors that do test your blood and my hat goes off to them

    You should check everything when doing your blood test. Vitamin K and magnesium are very important when it comes to increasing your vitamin D3 (Hormone) level. If your magnesium is low, it will be very difficult to improve your D level. You will need to do plenty of research on magnesium supplementation.

For years my seasonal allergies made me hate the month of May and I would get a cold about 3 times every winter. I supplemented with 3000 IU of D3 and 300 mcg of K2. Subsequently, the following allergy season was a breeze; however, a few sneezes here and there. Now I’m researching D3 effect on upper respiratory infections such as COVID-19.

    This presentation just pop in my feed and I decided to watch it. I’m glad that I did. I live in the Uk and vitamin D is only recommended for those that have no sun expose. I originally from a sunny country but I don’t like heat so in the summer, I’ll do anything to avoid the sun. For the last few years ( 10 plus), I have have several muscular and skeletal pain. There are times that these are so bad that I can’t walk. My doctors were prescribing pain killers but they never work. Been to physio which gives relief for the pain but it never goes away. And in 2018 when my pain got so bad that my muscles were so weak and I had muscle tremors and yet again they wanted to give more pain killers, I refused and insisted on Pilates and Yoga as I heard that it was good. The doctors sent me off to the gym for a 3 month free classes. This was such a huge relief that I kept up the gym and also started exercising include Pilates and yoga every morning up to an hour. This changed my life, I still have flare ups but I can manage them with exercise.
    But when this pandemic started I was socially distancing even before it came to the UK (when I watched the daily WHO briefings on China) but i got symptoms in the middle of March with dry cough, high temperatures, headache etc. Because I considered myself pretty healthy when I had relief after the first two weeks I thought that it has past. Only for the cough to continue with the chest pain. I have phlegm with my cough but not the one I get from a cold (tiny white specks). My doctor said that I likely had COVID which was gone but It may have left me with bacterial infections. Gave me a week of antibiotics but the cough didn’t clear actually it was worse the last 3 days on taking it. As I’ve been reading about Vitamin D, I have now started to take it ( for the 1st time ever) and now that I’ve watched this video I will continue forever. I’ll also start taking zinc and vitamin c. I’m seriously concerned that Vitamin D it is not strongly advised in the UK. In fact you are encouraged to get my vitamin levels from your food which as shown helps but impossible. I’ll share this video with my friends and family. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and work in this area.

    Did you check the studies that reported no difference in infections to see if they used D2 or D3? The reason I ask is because D2 is often prescribed by physicians and used in research studies, but has proven to be ineffective and even toxic compared to D3. I've been taking at least 20,000IU of D3 daily for 12 years now and it has prevented the chronic bronchitis, otitis media, sinusitis, and even bursitis in my shoulders that I suffered from for years - all gone since 2008 when I started on D3 after getting diagnosed severely D-deficient. I haven't even suffered from a cold or flu since then, and I used to get infected with upper respiratory infections every time they came around. I am hoping that my high D-level will also prevent the symptoms of COVID19 if I come into contact with it.

    ".. A colleague of mine and I have introduced vitamin D at doses that have achieved greater than 100 nmol/L (i.e. 40 ng/ml) in most of our patients for the past number of years, and we now see very few patients in our clinics with the flu or influenzalike illness. In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with *the vitamin D hammer,* as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50 000 IU dose of vitamin D3 *or* 10 000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.8 We urgently need a study of this intervention. The cost of vitamin D is about a penny for 1000 IU, so this treatment costs less than a dollar."

      Since MS is a gut issue, somewhere (sorry don't know where) they are doing fecal implants from healthy gut people to MS patients. I saw a guy within one week of this procedure go from being unable to walk to walking.

    Very interesting ! I have psoriasis on my hands mostly in the Winter BUT since I've been taking a lot of D3 it has cleared up completely!👍
    If I stop taking D3 the psoriasis shows up again.

    Last year I had 5 weeks in the Mediterranean sun (lucky I know) and spent most days outside from May to September in a sunny part of the UK. I got my VitD tested and it was very low in the range - just in range. I supplement with sublingual VitD now - my daughter in law is now receiving VitD from her doctor. Deficiency is widespread.

    If what he said is true at 8:00 and 18:28 about the nasal passages containing receptors for vitamin D then why can’t I find any nasal spray with vitamin D in it? This could very well be the body’s first line of defense against colds and flu.

    Amazing! This morning I woke up with a sinus issue, sore throat and had skipped my Vitamin D3 yesterday by accident. OMG...so many functions in the body that need vitamin D and here for years we have been told slather on this sunscreen to prevent us from getting too much sun exposure. UGH! I use to lay in the sunlight in our home in IL during the winter just to get the sun exposure and I felt so much better and now I know why!

    Thank you for the informative video about Vitamin D. I'm 80 yrs. No doctor has ever said anything to me about Vitamin D. Recently I did ask my doctor about Vit. D level. She said it's OK. However, I've learned from you about the proper test(s) for Vit. D. I'll ask her to include that better test next time she does blood tests for me. I don't know anything about K2. Thanks to you and thanks now to Google, I'll look it up.
