- Low plasma 25(OH) vitamin D level is associated with increased risk of COVID‐19 infection: an Israeli population‐based study (Federation of European Biochemical Societies Journal)
febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/...
Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide pandemic
To evaluate associations of plasma 25(OH)D levels with the likelihood of coronavirus disease infection and hospitalization
N = 7, 807
February 1st to April 30th, 2020
Participants had one previous blood test for the plasma 25(OH)D level
Suboptimal’ or ‘low’ plasma 25(OH)D. Below 30 ng/mL
Sufficiency more than 30 ng/ml. (75 nmol/L)
Insufficiency, 20 - 29 ng/ml
Deficiency less than 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L)
7, 807 individuals
Risk by age and sex were as expected
Obesity not significantly associated with increased risk for COVID‐19 infection or hospitalization
Sufficient vitamin D levels
7, 025 tested negative
Low vitamin D levels
782 tested positive
Increased likelihood of COVID‐19 infection
Odds ratio (OR) of 1.45
Increased likelihood of hospitalisation
OR of 1.95
We concluded that low plasma 25(OH)D levels appear to be an independent risk factor for COVID‐19 infection and hospitalization.
The link between vitamin D deficiency and Covid-19 in a large population
www.medrxiv.org/content/10.11...
52, 405 infected patients
524, 050 controls
Greater incidence of COVID-19 with lower vitamin D levels
Highest infection prevalence with lowest vitamin D levels
A significant protective effect in those who had supplemented over the previous 4 months

Spend at least 15-30 minutes with direct sun exposure each day
Most older and younger adults can safely take 400-1000 IU daily
Vitamin-D and COVID-19: do deficient risk a poorer outcome? (Lancet)
www.thelancet.com/journals/la...
Comparing data across nations, mortality from COVID-19 is clearly higher in some countries than in others
Relative vitamin D status of populations
Vitamin D supplementation could be especially important for older people
Functions
Calcium and phosphate balance
Affecting bone growth and turnover
Low vitamin D status
Associated with increased susceptibility to infectious disease
Notably, upper respiratory tract infections
Treating the lowest levels gives most percentage benefit
Vitamin D and COVID-19
Virus emerged and started its spread in the northern hemisphere at the end of 2019
When levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D are lowest
COVID-19 mortality was significantly associated with vitamin D status in different populations
Nordic countries, widespread fortification of foods
Italy and Spain, prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, surprisingly common
Black and minority ethnic people
UK, more than four times more likely to die from COVID-19
In COVID
Vitamin D supports production of antimicrobial peptides in the respiratory epithelium
Might help to reduce the inflammatory response
Vitamin D is known to interact angiotensin- converting enzyme 2
SARS-CoV-2 down regulates expression of ACE2
Vitamin D promotes expression of this gene

The circumstantial evidence is very strong
we don’t have randomised controlled trial evidence, but how long do you want to wait in the context of such a crisis?
We know vitamin D is important for musculoskeletal function, so people should be taking it anyway
Vitamin D supplements should normally be given to care home residents unless there is an extremely good reason not to do so.
Adrian Martineau

At best vitamin D deficiency will only be one of many factors involved in determining outcome of COVID-19
but it’s a problem that could be corrected safely and cheaply
there is no downside to speak of, and good reason to think there might be a benefit
Vitamin D dose
IU mcg
400 10mcg
800 20mcg
1,000 25mcg
2,000 50mcg
4,000 100mcg
In Delhi India a kit containing oximeter, thermometer, vitamin D C,thiamine, zinc , acetaminophen and ivermectin is given to every covid patient along with stay in isolation for 10days
That is great news and very smart. Over here in Anytown, USA, they tell us to “Go home, rest, take Tylenol” and if you get really sick, come back and we’ll charge you tens of thousands of dollars. Oh, and if you’ve no insurance, go die in a ditch somewhere. That’s the good, old USA for ya. We need what most of the advanced countries in the world have, Medicare for All.
@@MStClair-zk8vv Absolutely !!! Well said health care is an absolute mess here in the States .Good for India actually making a sensible effort .
Interesting, Ivermectin is for parasites.
Diana Boughner it has shown amazing results with covid 19. I started reading about this months ago
How long have they done this? Because by the statistics it looks like India as a whole is not doing well.
Dr John, just think of the number of lives you have saved by doing this research and videos... 😍
It takes a lot of money to run these studies, even with just analyzing at records! Doc Campbell is a regular guy, not a millionaire or system.
What these studies are still resisting is the group 30 - 40ng/ml, where I have read that deaths don't occur! That is my goal/sweetspot!
@Pretty Boy Which completely explains why your skin is such a beautiful deep black . . .
But luckily it isn't! Vitamin D deficiency killed so many who left our ☀sunniest☀ African homeland, that it only allowed the palest over very many generations to thrive.
Newest, beautiful deepest black skinned migrants to high sunless lats are being killed today by Covid, BUT COULD CHEAPLY SAVE THEMSELVES WITH THIS SUPPLEMENT (100,000IU Single Bolus dose today/protection day after tomorrow to bypass your far too excellent Melanin SUN-BLOCK!)
Our palest Nordics completely recognize D's critical immune importance, and heavily dose many foods, while sunny Italia & España don't, but suffer much more from deadly viral pandemics!
I'll take my Vitamin💊D which for 3 years (without any vaccines!) has completely prevented all respiratory disease😘
Cuz of high BMI & particular medication, decided to safely double 5,000IU prescription to 10,000IU, but have scheduled a blood test, hoping to be just above the 40ng/ml (100nmol/L) pneumonia-preventing level. Will also start Vitamin K to prevent all long-term risk of calcification so I can maintain without worry. (Check your coagulation prescriptions as some interact dangerously with Vitamin K!)
Fat not only stores Vit D, it also breaks it down before it can benefit, so us heavier folk need much more maintenance, not just at first. Dieting is far slower than Covid so higher supplement now, then reduce dosage as fat is burned off with diet change and increased exercise. Blood tests help management.
Correlation studies have shown Vitamin D insufficiencies go up as BMI increases, but sadly not that it works as a diet pill, but they ignore levels over 30ng/ml, so I will unscientifically hope that it helps anyway.
Yes, Engeland and Schotland and even the hole World , This Dokter John is a real Nobel price winner.
Agreed
Salutes
John seems like he is stressed. You done a lot to prepare us but after 8 months rest A day. You have already help save lives take A day off for your health. Many take vitamin D because of your videos in the states
God bless
Timmy Teabag he looks just fine!!!!
you are wsasting your time vit d3 cannot get there,it cant sulphate,
@@Beekind799 what do you mean?
@@Jj-zy4xe vit d3 cant convert in the body it simply cant make it in short you are wasting your time,i am pissed off i have put the method for safely boosting immunity all over nice dr john campbel s videos,if you listen to fake science it can cause your death,you best read my post slowly,i know far more about nutrition and the immune system than nice dr john campbell,my only interest is making people healthy,dr johns fake upset is nonsense ,he dont give a shit hes driving a fear agenda so you will run for the vaccine,the vaccines will make millions and millions sick and the pharmasautical plan will be achieved,these people are pharmasautically trained,they treat symptoms, you tube dr mercola interviews dr stephanie seneff on statins,you will hear dr stephanie explain why vit d3 cant get there ,the body cant convert it,the body uses vit d sulpate,you are wasting your time taking vit d3,a lady took 5000ius of vit d3 for ayear she got tested her vit d level was on the floor ,she took cod liver oil caps for 3 months her vit d level when tested was high,the doctor was amazed
@@Beekind799 ok, so cod liver seems more effective, if you can find good quality of course!
Dr Campbell since you first reported the benefits of vitamin D my family and i have headed the warning and are making sure that our friends and loved ones are also getting either more sun exposure and or taking supplements... thank you again for your tireless efforts to keeping us all well and informed.. L.A Rob
Having optimal levels of Vitamin D has been a game changer for me in so many ways!
How
@@alexlee8639 My level was at 26 a few years ago, now its 55. Better moods, better sleep, more energetic and I am 10 times stronger in the gym...just to name a few.
Did your relationships all improve and you got promoted and suddenly started having better luck too?
@@MassGainingGuy Did vitamin D also help with your skin in terms of preventing eczema for example?
@@davet11 Ha ha. So funny.
I started taking 2000 ui a day in march when EU started the lockdowns. Since april i started taking 4000 ui a day, which is the upper safe limit for adults. I am 32 years old. Last time i checked for vit D levels in my blood was maybe in 2018 i think, i had below 20 ng/ml. In july this year, so after taking march 2000 ui a day and april may and june taking 4000 ui a day, i retested my vit D and i had 52.3 ng/ml. I have to say that i am a doctor and i spend most time indoors as work. During lockdown which here in Romania was about 2 and a half months, i did spend time outdoors, but not too much. So after july test, i kept taking my 4000 a day, and retested a week ago, and i have 53.7. I honestly expected to have more, but i think i will be taking 4000 ui a day still, maybe gte my levels to 60 or 70.
And i also lost 12 kg during lockdown, from 88 to 76 kg, which i believe also helped boost my vit d levels since much of it is stored in fat cells.
Thanks for the videos, i watch them every day and i must say that i also had a feeling for vit d since i started reading about it since march.
Good job Theodor. On my next checkup I will finally "breakdown" and have a 25 OH vitamin D assay. I've been taking 10 000 IU (250 mcgs ) for over 16 years. My health is great and I am strong. I don't accept the UL as anything beyond "bvll sh*t" by fuddies.
When the smoke clears I'll go running.
10,000 IU of D3 is equal to 20 minutes in the sun. How many hours of the day are humans DESIGNED to spend in the sun??? The solution to the Virus is simple: 50 mg of Vitamin C per kilo of body weight spread out over the day; 10,000 IU of D3 and 50 mg of zinc. 120+ days without a mask. The Pandemic is real, but also a SCAM to take our liberties !!! 🇺🇸
What are you taking to help absorb the Vit D?
You could go tanning to try to convert cholesterol into D3 but be careful not to get burned.
Also have you considered, full spectrum light bulb ?
I'm at 94.3 nmol/L (NHS Black Country Pathology Services). 4000 IU supplement ---> Some sunshine BUT I am night shift ---> I do eat quite a few sardines which are a source too. GREAT COMMENT DOC.
Interesting as always John, your presentation of data is clear and easy to follow, the links to studies are most appreciated - thank you!
His presentation 100% biased and constantly showing the supplements. Not credible at all!
@@sunniva5335 Nonsense
Vitamin D plays a significant role in the regulation of calcium and maintenance of phosphorus levels in the blood. These factors are vital for maintaining healthy bones. People need vitamin D to allow the intestines to stimulate and absorb calcium and reclaim calcium that the kidneys would otherwise excrete.👍

Does much more than that. Vitamin D is so ancient even our FUNGI (mushroom) relatives produce it. No plants do.
@@codediporpal You can also get vitamin D by exposing plant oils to ultraviolet light.

Vitamin D has been talked about for months by those who want a solution including you sir.
COVID-19, Diabetes and Vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D Insufficiency in ICU patients less than 75 years old 100.0% !!
Vitamin D deficiency < 20 ng/ml 98,9% patients died, 1.1% recovered.
Vitamin D sufficient level > 30 ng/ml 4,1% died, 95,9% alive or recovered
These are some figures from studies about COVID-19 and Vitamin D
COVID-19 is only the top of a much bigger global pandemic.
More than 1 billion people are obese or have Diabetes.
More than 1 billion people have vitamin D deficiency.
Both groups have the highest risk to die from COVID-19
A sufficient vitamin D level > 30 ng/ml is the best prevention
as we can see in many clinical studies worldwide.
Blood tests for Vitamin D levels & COVID-19 might be helpful,
especially in care homes, for sick people with darker skin,
immune disorder and everybody who is already infected,
who does not get enough sunlight to produce sufficient Vitamin D levels.

It must be extremely frustrating to feel in your gut based on a long career as a frontline health care provider that you have a simple, inexpensive and readily available solution for preventing a lot of unnecessary suffering but the powers that be are not interested in pursuing it. You surely meet all the qualifications of sainthood including patience whilst suffering fools.

Thank you as always, Doc! Saw it uploaded on your channel this morning but couldn't access it until now, for about 10 hours at least. You must know by now when you go MIA quite a few of us worry a tad bit about you! Very useful upload and do so appreciate all your hard work. Continue to be well and safe.
I noticed the same thing, i saw it posted but when i finally went to watch it, it was gone.
@@DR0CK Yes. Same experience here. It's happened before but I think this one took the longest to be made public again. Glad to be able to watch it finally.
@Annette Königsheim Annette! I remember you from the comments sectiom on a previous JC upload! Nice to see you on here again. Keep well! And keep taking your Vit D!
@Annette Königsheim Great to know you've been taking your Vit D and other useful supplements! Same here. Agreed on how helpful, informative and calming JC'S uploads have been. Same, have been watching from the start. And yes, fun elements at times! Especially that one the other day where he was speaking softly! Hilarious! He really is a treasure. The silver lining on the misinformation cloud! Nighty night. Stay safe, too.
You kept accidentally saying “weeks”, but “months” was typed on the paper for supplementation.
they took off my comment saying the same thing
Indeed, is it weeks or months?
@@fredvanleeuwen9996 Does it really matter? There is strong evidence for Vitamin D to have an effect on Covid. So just take your daily dose and try to get some sun in.
@@quecksilber457 It potentially matters if you've been taking it less than 4 months obviously unless he meant to write weeks as well as say it. I guess we have to refer to the original report.
@@Groosome128 I started taking it Nov last year after throat problems and infections..and after 4-6 weeks I started getting way better. I upped my dosage when I got 4 (after the other) bronchitis like symptoms..and I believe D helped med . I also ate zinc and quercetine..Now I am strong and my immune system is good..I just have to supplement with stomach bacteria due to screwed up stomach symptoms. But thats ok..one pill in the morning and I am fine..I can live with that.
I have tears holding in my eye when I see such videos on Vit D. I have been saying this to friends and family but nothing from my country. It is so sad.
Your videos are how I start every day, so I can start getting my mind to start working right away. You're better than coffee!
I can't believe you make so many of these videos with almost no days off in between. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, but please make sure you take enough time for your own self-care too!
Thanks Dr John. Sharing this with family and friends. We've been on VitD for months now. Still feeling well.
No vitamin D tablets in my local supermarket yesterday! The message must be getting through at last!
Not sure where you are but if you have a Home Bargains store anywhere near they had them yesterday - good strength and very good price too.
Walmart has them too, and you can always find them on amazon
Always here and do appreciate it.
"Governments bordering on negligence"... I think that border was long since crossed here in the UK.
In the US where I am as well.
It would seem reckless stupidity is a global occurance unfortunately. Stay safe.
@@EvilUnderTone true enough. Thank you, you stay safe too. Crazy times, but we're all in this together.
@DATING HARLEY QUINN I have theories on this that will no doubt get me hung. The UK & America for instance. Nobody respects authority. They are mostly spoilt brats. The last people in their families that had it hard were their grandparents. So now being spoilt (brats if you like) they just do what they want to and don't care about anybody else. Tada my theory. Countries that rule with a iron fist seem to have done a lot better than the rest of the 'free' world. Ah well I'm a watchmaker what do I know! I just know the UK government has pretty much zero control over it's people. Which is why it keeps changing the rules so the people don't keep breaking them. Beggars belief.
@DATING HARLEY QUINN We have lost our community and gained self awareness. Ah well not all of us are self centered bastards. I am a Rolls Royce trained coach builder. Then I turned myself to antique clock restoration after a change in circumstances about 15 years ago. The market fell out of that so I started restoring classic watches for a living. I have made clocks but no watches. When my favourite watch is a 1967 Seiko that cost me 35 quid what's the point in spending 2 years making one that won't likely be as good. I could make one is the answer but I have no desire to actually make one. If you want to make a good little earner just buy and sell watches and get some other mug like me to repair them for you. Take care nice chatting with you.
I contracted Covid-19 in June and had it for 12 days. Had low grade fever, mild cough, loss of taste for 4 days, and rapid heart rate. My levels of vitamin D about two weeks before I contracted the virus was 42ng/mL. I recovered well with no negative lasting effects. I am 55 years of age and a certified health coach so I was taking all natural supplementation before and during the course of the virus. I am very fit, exercise daily, never smoked, don't drink alcohol, and no underlying medical conditions. I am also A+ blood type which supposedly is a higher risk for severe cases.
Lastly, make sure you take magnesium to activate vitamin D and take K2 as well whether you get your D from the sun OR from supplements. Sunlight is BEST if possible because it does so much more for the body.
Do you think there is enough magnesium and Vit K in a multivitamin to take it with my vitamin D drops?
icy can see my early response to Michael Buddah. Do not take with Vits A & E as antagonists.
Please advise on the K2 and Calcium! I’ve been studying this for 2 years now and can’t find how much to take with the D!
Tonia’s Creations I’ve been taking D for about 10 years and K2 for several years. I take 180 mcg per day of the K2. This dosage is in line with one of the studies done on it.
@ Julie Wilkinson, Hi! Can you provide antagonist evidence of A and E taken with D.
Thank you so much, Dr. Campbell. You have helped me stay healthy and I am most grateful
Been taking care of my elderly parents for some time now and US physicians couldn’t care less about diet or serum levels of essential vitamins and minerals... They are only interested in writing prescriptions for another pill.
Change your Doctor. my Aunt in Palm Springs was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency and recieves regular shots.
Dr. Campbell should be knighted by the Queen. I think that's what they do in your country for people that have helped save lives. There is no telling how many lives he has saved for bringing an awareness to vitamin D. I never thought of the importance of vitamin D against Covid until I saw his videos, and I'm sure the rest of you tube land would not have either.
HE NEEDS MONEY NOT MEDALS. YOU CAN SPEND HOMOURS. SEND HIM MONEY. BUY HIS COURSES
Thank you so much for your channel, Dr. Campbell. When I listen to other sources, I end up with more questions than answers. "What's the per capita rate? and the case fatality rate?"" "What kind of study was it?" "Was it peer reviewed?" "What explains the huge change?" Your clips are thorough, you explain things clearly, you give the entire picture, and the only questions I'm left with are the things you tell me are still unknown. For months I've wanted this kind of resource, and I've finally found it. Your work has benefited me greatly. Thank you.
He makes a good teacher. Clear and precise. I learn alot from him. Even living in tropical climate we are deficient in Vit D.
Which is why no modern school would hire him, not enough cultural Marxist indoctrication
Yeah I was surprised by that but there are even studies now on the modern lifestyle causing vit D deficiency even in the tropics.
9:15 -- Dr. Campbell repeatedly says four WEEKS, whereas his own notes (and the original research paper) state four MONTHS.
A simple mistake. He has already told us that he is dyslexic. My son us too, and because dyslexics are generally very intelligent and their brains work very fast, they do make these sort of mistakes
We know what he means. Does it matter? Dont be so pedantic. He must be tired, this all takes a lot of research.
120 days to 15 and there are varying results
@@lizeggar2421 -- Does it matter? Yes, that's why I mentioned it.
(I intended no disrespect to Dr. Campbell, of course.)
@@lizeggar2421 Normally I would be the first defend Dr John. But he made a mistake and if I know him, as well as I think, he would be delighted to correct this. His honesty and openness is the thing I love most about him. And no, I am not sure whether it is four weeks or four months. We all have slips of the tongue (and I noticed a few this episode) and we all make typos. But which is it?
If you look at the government guidelines in the UK, it's recommennded that old people in care homes in the UK should receive vitamin D supplements. But it's a miserable small amount and it's to try and prevent osteoporosis and hip fractures.
Old people in homes should be getting at least 10,000 IU a week supplements before winter sets in, or many more will die.
I've written to care homes about this, but no-one is listening.
And my enlarged prostate symptoms have been less since taking D.
Add a zero to that
@@patriciaboies8298 Not going to argue with that . . 10000 a day is probably more like it. Is it going to happen ?
0.001% chance.
Ear Dr Campbell. I would like to thank you very much for the information you have given me and the rest of the population regarding corona. I have listening to you for the 6 months.
Thank you very much again
I thank you for saving lives since January.
Ive got everyone i know taking it.
Keep saying it. Vit d3 and k2
I got mine up to 125 . Im very thankful so far
I’m glad I come across your channel. Thanks to you I’ve been supplementing vitamin d3 1000-2000 per day plus somewhat sufficient sun exposure given it’s been summer. I’m trying to push my mom to take it as she’s not super far from the high risk age group (65+) Thankfully she’s been in the sun a lot this summer, but she is a teacher, which means being indoors. I’ve been trying to get her to supplement to maintain. Especially her likely hood of possibly getting exposed.
It's a bit annoying to me that the media is not clearly explaining what the 'high risk' group is with respect to age and sex. The most likely person to contract Covid is a 55-year old male. Your mother is NOT at high risk - this is clear from the data displayed on the CDC website (USA) or the health bureau statistics for virtually any other country. I am a 70-year old female and my risk is MUCH lower than my 55-year old male cousin's. The 'old age' risk is only definitively true for people over 80-years. Still, good for everyone to take Vit D !!
I had a telephone exam with my doctor in place of an annual physical on Wednesday. When he saw I was taking vitamin D on the forms I had filled out, he asked why. When I told him about the possible connection he didn't seem to know about it. I'm also finding things about how vitamin K-2 is necessary for vitamin D to be absorbed into the body.
Yes however if you eat lots of butter and eggs you probably are gettting enough k2
Magnesium is important in over 600 cellular functions in the body . Bit d needs it to get to absorb properly
Unfortunately most doctors don't know the importance of vitamins. They're trained in medical school to only treat the symptoms of illness with big pharma's drugs, and not prevent or cure anything with vitamins. I cured my high blood pressure problems years ago with zinc. I had an elevated free copper that was depleting my zinc. I took high doses of zinc 3 times per day for over a year to lower the free copper, and still take 100 mg per day. A low zinc interferes with the way the kidneys get rid of sodium and causes high blood pressure. Zinc is also needed for urea cycle enzymes that convert ammonia to urea. When zinc gets low, the ammonia gets high, and the blood pressure rises. If you think about it, there's millions of people in this world that have the same thing causing their blood pressure elevation, but since the doctors are not trained to know how the body actually operates, they just put them on big pharma's blood pressure pills and treat the symptoms. They're never cured of their problem, and make their monthly payments to big pharma when they buy their monthly blood pressure pills. If a researcher comes along and finds out what's causing the problem and how to cure it, big pharma shuts them down. As you probably know, the FDA doesn't allow anyone to write books saying vitamins cure anything. The supplement companies are also not allowed to make claims of cures. As you know, big pharma is behind this, because if people are cured, they lose billions on things like blood pressure meds. It's definitely a corrupt medical system, and it's no wonder most US doctors are not curing anybody. I cured a severe case of Covid with Ivermectin worm medicine in 4 days, but if you tell most doctors this, they'll probably roll their eyes or laugh at you. Anyway, thanks for the information about K-2, I did not know that it was needed for vit. D absorption. Like the old saying goes, you learn something new everyday.
Take your vitamin D with some fat to be absorbed. Get your doctor to test your levels with a blood test.
Doctors are morons, we started talking about V D in our WhatsApp group and the newly qualified doctor left the group
Hi Dr. Campbell, I would like to thank you for keeping us informed the past months and would like to ask you to take advantage of your popularity, once the pandemic news become less relevant or ends, to make videos about subjects that people should know, things that could save a life in case of an emergency, accident or whatever else you feel relevant to maintain your health.
Check out his home site, he's been doing that for years.
This man just doesn't when to stop.
He reminds me of another "John" I knew, Pastor John, when he retired from his church he just expanded his work to the whole county. It was said give Dr. John 3 shirts for himself in the morning, and by noon he would have given 2 of them away.
Thanks for your service to the public John.
I was reading an article about the Bradykinin response to Covid-19, and that it might be responsible for the severe illness some experience. The article mentioned Vitamin D as possibly helping calm that response. Whether or not a Bradykinin storm truly turns out to be the cause remains to be seen, but it's another good reason to take Vitamin D.
When you first mentioned Vit D months ago John I started taking daily supplements and have broadcast the benefits to all friends and family.
I just asked an indigenous friend of mine who lives on a rural reserve here in Canada if she was taking Vitamin D. She had never heard that it was so important. I told her that I was taking it, about this channel and to get all her friends and family taking it. Hoping the message gets out to this vulnerable part of our community.
thank you for all your excellent work and for helping so many people, you are a rock.
I just paused this video to go take my daily Vitamin D supplement...
Thank you Dr John. Watched from the very first Coronavirus video you made!
I did excatly the same 😁
Dr John Campbell must be the long-lost twin brother of Dr Joe Mercola in Florida, as they think so alike on Vitamin D (and did a vid together a few weeks back). Great comment Sonia.
Uk李文亮，appreciate what you are doing all the time
Unlike the great dr li, the government wouldnt be able to silence and make dr Campbell disappear.
@@iwanabana sorry dr li,born in china
Thank you! Dr. Campbell
Thank you for your always insightful videos! I feel like yours is one of the most calm and logical (but still compassionate) voices in all of this.
Excellent analysis, thank you. Please keep pushing on Vitamin D.
For the record: Finland is Nordic, but not Scandinavian.
John, your objectivity is extrodinary in this crazy world. Great information and extraordinarily and simply presented. Thank You, Patrick, SF, US
Good action in spite of difficulty and opposition Dr. Campbell.
I found a talk from dr Michael F. Holick in Vienna about Vit D and I downloaded and using the app they developed "dminder" available for free for ios and android. It is an extremely excellent tool. If we solved the pandemic of the Vit D deficiency, we would get rid of many of the pathologies that come with it 😉.
Thank you dr. John, you create curiosity and save lives. Forever grateful!!
Winter, flu season, ignorance, I fear this winter. I live in Canada, for months we can't make natural vitamin D. It seems a perfect storm. Vitamins are cheap and not political. Please people take your vitamins, wash your hands, and wear a mask!
I'll be curious to see if the Canadians make their winter migration to the southwest this year. Have you heard anyone talking about it up there?
Good luck to our brothers and sisters in Canada from Great Britain.
Many studies and meta studies have shown that masks are not effective in preventing viral spread.
Canadians have Buckley's cold and flu and a mucus fighting formula .. take the Vid D if you feel a cold get Buckley's its tastes awful ( horrible, nasty stuff) but it does help and not just hide symptoms of colds and flu
Gary White the Canada/US border is closed so unlikely as I doubt that will change anytime in the next year. Love my American neighbours, but this Canadian would prefer that the border stay closed for now.
Thank you John again, you are super! I Tell everybody i can.
I have been taking 1000 IU of vitamin D for almost two years. I am in the US, NYC. Every doctor, especially dermatologists stress almost obcessively the use of sunscreen even while indoors.. Are vitamin D levels included in routine yearly lab work? Or is it a specialized test which must be requested? There is an epidemic of skin cancer in the US.
Dr. Campbell your channel is an absolute blessing. It is the only safe haven for Covid19 information that does NOT mix in politics. Thank you with all my LOVE AND RESPECT. ❤❤❤!!!!!!!
I would like to stress to people, be careful with giving supplements to babies. My wife and I have been giving a vitamin D supplement to our one year since she was 5 months old. We have been struggling with her being constipated without a clear cause since she started on solids (also at 5 weeks). After reading a terrible story about a poor woman here (Copenhagen) who has poisoned her baby mis miss dosing her with Vit D, and finding that some of the symptoms was constipation. We stopped our dosing and managed to arrange a blood test, as soon as we stopped her constipation eased. The blood test returned that her vit D levels were too high and we have been advised that cessation was the correct thing to do (in our case). Important to note that our daughter is very fair skinned, and summer light levels here are very high, we will restart supplements later in the autumn, but I just wanted to offer some advise that with babies, always use precaution.
Just to be clear, we will also restart vit D supplements in Autumn/Winter (with instruction from our doctor).
Presumably the dose given should corrolate with body weight.
@@vickijohnson4668 just stick to giving them positive advice. I've yet to meet perfect parents. It's a long learning curve - usually takes a lifetime.
@@vickijohnson4668 morons could not google the info ...
@@andreesmith7051 Yes I know, I've brought up 6 kids and made mistakes, but I still think they are idiots.
400-1000iu’s daily? Lol, that is not going to do the trick for most people. I now take 6000iu’s a day, and my teenage kids take 4000iu daily.
4000 IU is the maximum recommended dosage. If you want to go above that, I'd recommend talking to your physician about it first.
I personally take exactly 4000 IU daily based on my measured blood levels. I do agree that 1000 IU is laughable, that's not even enough to maintain my current insufficient level.
anlumo1 I take 400iu, you are right this is recommended dose
I TAKE 15000 DAILY.
DESIGNED TO FAIL?
@@esecallum Congrats on still being alive with that kind of overdose.

💛 The MOST informative clinical reports there are ... Love you from Australia ..

Thank SO MUCH Dr Campbell!
I’ve been taking Vitamin D supplements since you first started to mention its importance, and already made my family (father, mother, sister, grandmother) and friends start on it too. You were absolutely right on the money with this and the evidence is more than compelling, as we continue to see with these new studies.
So very grateful for your outstanding work, you are really educating us with good, useful information for our lives. 🙏 Wish you the very best!
Thank you
BBC news have shown that there is a study taking place in the Bristol area into the transmission of Coronavirus in schools. I would very much like to see this study when it’s complete!
We all would like to see such studies across many schools in the uk and get a good cross section to evaluate the findings, if not it is wasted in the world of science as an opionion study. Next question would be, “would the government allow such findings to be voiced to the masses.” They know the dangers of cross contamination in schools, just that they need to get the kids back into schools as they need direction, and consistancy to study, for themselves, their futures and the future of our nation. 6 people only rule, yet two hundred people in a stuffy airplane for hours, thats all about our massive airline investments buisness needs as we are the third largest investors in that industry. It’s about the balance between money in to the treasury and money out, you have no money in, when everything shut down due to incompetence back in January 2020.
Mario Iwancz - completely agree.
Schools are well known for spreading bugs. Giant Petri dishes.
D, C, Zinc, Quercetin, NAC, and Ivermectin cocktail is very effective. We used it and 2 days later, family member was 80% recovered. Total cost for the days? About $10. Only thing is that you will have to spend about $60 because you can't buy just 2 days worth.
Another outstanding report. Thanks so much.
Thank you Dr. John. As always, a brilliant explanation and analysis. Oddly enough, I never hear any talk of Vitamin D on the U.S. stations when discussing COVID-19. Since the U.S. has consistently mentioned the higher impact of COVID-19 on the Black community and the Latinx community, one would think they would bring this up. I'm a U.S. citizen that has been living in Mexico for several years, and we have a relatively high mortality rate here as well. That is partly due to the culture of waiting until it's too late for adequate care and also due to our high levels of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. But I also suspect it is due to the Vitamin D deficiency due to the preponderance of darker skin tones here. Hopefully as you have suggested, a randomized blind control study will be finally conducted. Thank you again.
thank you
Those of us that have followed you since January definitely have the 'previous 4 months of Vitamin D'. Thanks to you!
Dr. Campbell, thank you very much. Jim Bradley Texas (USA)
Vitamin D3 supplements raise your 25-hydroxyD level in ng/ml to about 1/100 the dose per day in iu. For example, if you take 400 iu/day, that will raise your blood level by 4 ng/ml. If you take 1000 iu/day, that will raise your blood level by 10 ng/ml. If you depend on those supplements (like in the UK in winter) you would be horribly deficient at 10 ng/ml. If you take 1000 iu/day and drink a glass of fortified milk with another 400 iu, then your blood level would be 14 ng/ml: Again, horribly deficient.
And it's quite consistent at higher doses: I take about 8000 iu/day and my blood level is 70 ng/ml. (I'm a 100 kg man.) So if you want to be in the "safe zone" according to these papers, you would need 3000 iu/day every day. Sun exposure is great, if you can get it. Hawaiian life guards have about 70 ng/ml, like me. If you don't live in Hawaii or Florida, you should take 4000-5000 iu/day to get in the 40-50 ng/ml range the Endocrine Society recommends.
Taking 50 mcg (2000 iu) will still leave you at 20 ng/ml: DEFICIENT! Please take 100 mcg per day.
I've been buying 2,000 IU D-3 and giving it away, telling people to take 4,000 daily (2 pills). Figuring people are likely deficient and need to "get up to speed".
Oh, I say, and also there's this great retired teaching nurse in the U.K. with good YT channel ...
The girlfriend and I have been taking 4000iu per day plus 250 mg magnesium for better absorption since around march plus been suntanning every day this summer. Been recommending it to all my friends
At least get your blood level measured. My wife was taking 1000 iu when she remembered to take it. Then she had it measured: It was 16 ng/ml. Now she's taking 5000 iu/day every day.
@@guygrotke7476 You don't necessarily need to take that much, Guy. I got down to 10 (eek!😳) so my doctor put me on 2,000iu per day. Within 3 months my levels had climbed to 78, which is excellent. 😀 I'm now on 1,000iu per day which, for me, is enough to keep the levels in the upper healthy range. It's not "one-size-fits-all" - we are all different. IMO it's best to consult with your doctor, get your bloodwork done regularly and see what works best for you - depending on a lot fo factors, you may not need that much.
I am 71 years old, living in Ireland and have been taking 1000iu vit D per day with food for 14 years and recent blood test = 120 nmol/L. Not difficult.
Thanks for the updates. You are appreciated!!
Thank you Doctor Campbell ! You have been a source to go since COVID breakout. Thanks Doctor
The NOF report does state:
"Although recent epidemiologic (observational) studies have suggested associations between low 25(OH)-vitamin D concentrations and higher rates of COVID-19 infection, these are likely related to ethnicity, age, and general health rather than a causal relationship. To date, no clinical trials studying a potential effect of vitamin D supplementation on preventing COVID-19 disease have been completed."
What are your thoughts?
Dr C is calling for proper clinical trials to be conducted in relation to VitD. I agree it's well overdue
@@QwinnieLu56 I agree with that. Though I thought there was a study involving VitD use cited before in a previous video on this channel, so I'm not sure if that either wasn't known by the author, or didn't count as a clinical study.
@@saebelorn that study was just 76 people. There needs to be a large scale clinical trial, randomised controlled trials to scientifically prove it's efficacy.
@@QwinnieLu56 yes while only 76 patients the study had a p value of 0.001 meaning despite small amount of people there still is only a 1 in 1000 chance of it being coincidental....the trial also used calcifediol or fast acting vitamin d and in HUGE doses ....I suggest everyone take 10k ius twice a day wait a month and do a blood test....that sounds like a high dose but keep in mind nursing home patients take 50k ius sometimes 3x a week
That study in spain was also randomized double blinded with a p value of 0.001
We need a public campaign to promote use of vit D, if successful, the reduced health problems overall will create many benefits.
instead of having useless bame riots why NOT USEFUL not vitamin d riots?
I'm following your videos Doc.
I will make a study w/ the hospital I'm working at right now.
And use your videos as a reference.
Thanks!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
Love your continued feeing of facts and science!
Thanks Dr. Campbell for these videos. With the fires currently raging in the Western US, many people have not gotten enough Sun in nearly four weeks. The AQI is upwards of 250. Pretty deadly combination.
Wearing a mask helps with both...
Honest man and I so trust him
Thankyou Dr John I take 1 tb 4000iu a day and feel so much happier that I’m helping myself to try and stay well .. as a 52 year old man I’m very much looking forward to hearing you comments on prostate and Vit D ... thanks again love your videos
Thank you for your report Dr Campbell. Well said young man.
Your videos are being publicly posted on CZcams the day after you upload them. They appear onsite at first when you upload them with the notation "Not available. Private Video". This procedure began earlier this week when you posted the "Vitamin D, First Clinical Trial"
You are probably losing many views due to this delay. We have to view you on Facebook in order to get your same-day videos.
I suspect John no longer fully fits the "correct" narrative that fits with the interests of Fauci, Gates, the UN and the NWO reset.
Hence, Google is considering dropping the hammer or the axe.
That's not the case in the UK - might be a restriction in your country, perhaps?
@@mjwilliamsb2676 Possible. That said I was according YT among the first 50 to see the video. So I may have seen things you didn't.
Do not assume this has a national basis! It much more likely to have a supra-national basis in YT, IMHO.
Did you see it within the first 8 minutes of it posting (I did) and in the 12 hours? Another person also had this experience.
@@nameremoved4010 I only just watched both videos uploaded today, didn't have time earlier, so I can't answer that I'm afraid. But there was someting odd last week - I watched one of his videos, then later wanted to check something, and when I tried to select it again, it then said private video...
@@mjwilliamsb2676 It smells. I think Google is about the pull its trigger. I am moving to other CZcams like sites and independent sites. I truly have come to distrust Google, Amazon and MS.
Important: Vitamin K!
Dear Dr. Campbell, I applaud you for your great work. Thanks in great part to you, I have taken vitamin d religiously for weeks.
Now I hear that it is imperative to take vitamin K (and possibly magnesium) along with vitamin d.
Supposedly there is a heightened risk of arthrosclerosis If vitamin k is not supplemented.
Could you please expand on this topic?
GOOGLE IT.

Don't panic about Vitamin K2. If you are eating a good healthy diet with adequate protein sources, you are getting enough of it without supplements.
Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much for helping us all!!! Way more then my gov. (Us in Illinois)!!!!
I must admit that since taking vitamin D daily , my asthma has improved so much
There must be a relationship there I think
Great vid John thanks for your work

Love your videos!! 👍 Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge and thoughts with us in these excellent presentations 👍
An excellent episode I love your work since the start. Keep the information flowing and thank you.
Notice! Take K2 also, this is important!
And apparently eat some nuts or seeds with it to keep your magnesium levels sufficient as well. Or some natto if you can find it and stomach the smell.
Can you take it naturallyhow？
Only if taking higher levels of d3...10000iu or more.
Do you think that a large-scale, blinded vitamin D trial would be even ethical at this point? Regarding the placebo group...
It would be hard to design to be ethical. I wondered about an RCT for different levels of supplementation and ensuring all participants have deficiencies identified and corrected. Hard to do because of vitamin D from sun and diet.
Could be hard to fill the placebo group, I guess.
@@7YBzzz4nbyte I don't imagine that people in long term care homes are given Vitamin D supplements, although the better homes do get their residents out into the sunshine. Night shift workers would be a good younger age group to study. Anyone with other ideas for trial groups who might lack access to natural sunlight. Ah, prison inmates.
@@andreesmith7051 probably different in difference homes, and in different countries.
Drug trials in the past have been stopped for that reason, because the scientists determined it unethical to not provide the substance to the placebo group.
Dr. Campbell, Thanks to you I've had my 78yr old mother on Vit-D since end of May.
Finland IS a Nordic country. ”Norden” as we say consists of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland. Scandinavia is Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Because we are generally fair-skinned here we tend to soak up vitamin D when available, but our immigrant population struggles with low vitamin D levels because their skin was made for climates with a lot more sun than they get here. We are however very aware of this and many of us, both fair-skinned and especially dark-skinned Northerners take vitamin D supplements. Great video, Dr. - as always. 👍🏻
I am so happy I have a good doctor who routinely checks vitamin D levels at a certain age. He found mine to be only 14 many years ago and immediately put me on treatment of 50,000 IU every week for 12 weeks as well as 1,000 IU per day. He brought my levels up and I am now 62 and take 5,000 IU per day.
I forgot to mention I live in New England in the United States.
Won't need your kidney for much longer anyway.....should be ok.
@@davet11 What do you mean by that?
Probably nothing, he's an ignorant troll.
Boris Johnson has "Operation Moonshot," which involves increasing testing. Dr. Campbell should talk about "Operation Sunshot," including sun exposure and making sure Vitamin D levels are adequate.
Right on!
Thank you John!
Thanks as always, the chestnut mushrooms are in my chicken casserole as I write, & I've had my daily Vit D tablet. A spot of sunshine to enjoy this week too. Happy days! :-)
Dr. Campbell, FYI: you said "4 weeks" but your text on screen said "4 months".
+1 that's 4 months
noticed too.
Surprised he went over that point 3 times, even underlining “significant” in the same sentence - on line above - read it up until the last word and said WEEKS again! 🤦🏾♀️ Oh well - we’re all only human!
The original paper says 4 months.
@@ewtriplett You get many points for reading the original paper. I should probably read it.
I`m on chemo and been taking D3 for several months now and zinc for a few weeks...still feel like crap and tired all the time but I guess it could have been worse
Quebec Patriot - You should google search "Joe Tippens Edmond Oklahoma" and articles will appear on how he cured stage 4 cancer with a dog worm medication called fenbendazole. He had lung cancer that had spread all over his body and was only given a few months to live. Before he was cured with the worm medicine, he had 1.2 million dollars worth of chemo that was charged to his insurance, and after years of chemo only given a few months to live. Then his veterinarian suggested he try fenbendazole, and 3 months later he was totally cured and cancer free. His former cancer doctors have verified that he is now cancer free. The story was all over the news in my state not too long ago. I realize it sounds far out, but apparently there is some compound in the worm medicine that cured his cancer. Good luck and God Bless.
Another study proving the importance🌞I’m going to stock up for my family for winter, thanks to you Dr Campbell you are an inspiration to us all😇❤️

Sorry neighbors.
Totally naked gives you extra vit d . That finger can get vit d too
usa has been recommending vitamin d at every doctors office for at least 5 years for practically everyone..
so obviously there must have been a study somewhere recommending it..

Mine has recommended it too. I think in the video he means studies specifically about Vitamin D and COVID.
My doctor was clueless and thought 1000iu was excessive. I did not return to that provider.
Subsequently tested and found my serum D to be 6ng/ml. Took 20,000iu immediately then 10k/day for a week, then 5k/day thereafter. Then none all summer, now back on 5k until April.
Chronic low D should be declared a national health emergency.

Im very irritated that this isn't being publicized more then what it has been. Honestly if I didn't watch you I would have never know.
