In this video, I want to discuss the reasons for the deficiency of vitamin D in many people and what foods you can eat to fix this.
Our bodies need about 1200 IUs of vitamin D per day. It might go up or down, depending on different factors. For example, are you stressed out? This could actually be one of the reasons for the deficiency of vitamin D.
Foods high in vitamin D:
• Cod liver oil
• Fatty fish
• Butter
• Cheese
• Cream
• Raw-milk
Most people get vitamin D from the sun.
A few vitamin D benefits:
• Supports bone health
• Supports the immune system
Why, all of a sudden, does everyone have a deficiency in vitamin D?
• MDs have only recently been testing for vitamin D
• People don't go out in the sun as much
• Low-cholesterol diets-sun converts cholesterol into vitamin D
• Lack of bile-without bile you can't absorb vitamin D (Learn more about bile: www.drberg.com/blog/bile-a-vi...)
• Stress-cortisol
Vitamin D works naturally together with vitamin F. The function of vitamin D is to take the calcium from the stomach and put it into the blood. The purpose of vitamin F is to take calcium from the blood and put it into the skin tissues. That is why vitamin F is a protective mechanism against skin problems.
You don't just need vitamin D. You also need vitamin F to keep the whole process working. It's important to understand this process and to make sure to consume omega-3 fatty acids in your diet to help keep your body out of trouble.

The last statement, I made a mistake by saying "Vitamin A" instead of "Vitamin F" but you guys probably knew that :)
It's strange you say that about cervical cancer! I believe it too!
Yea, I know that, but we all are humans, we tend to make mistakes.. 😃
I thought i heard vit A ..but i figured you meant F
Dr. Eric Berg DC
I have a question for you about vitamin D deficiency. My labs, six months ago vitamin D was a 6%. Then my Dr. prescribed 12 weeks of D 50,000IU units once a week. Six months later I am at 8%. I have a Dr. appointment this Thursday and I don’t know why my Vit D is still low. Also, I take over the counter vitamin D3 5,000IU daily. After viewing this video I’m wondering if I don’t have enough bile producing to break down my vitamin D? Would you please advise me on what to ask my Dr. to look for. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
No I didn't know that. Where do we find vit A?
My sister just got blood work done. She's Vit D deficient. I sent her this video. I love that you work so hard for us. there's a video for everything!!
My mom made us take Cod Liver Oil and we played outside all the time in the south. We never got colds or the flu but we also had better food back then.
forcedair 92gt , “and” we also had better food ...
Main culprit is More Food ( especially junk and processed) and no work its like we fill our gas tanks and dont run the car dailt
Wish I could turn back the clock(62 years old) and be a doctor. This stuff is fascinating. You do a great job in explaining it to a level anyone can understand. Great work !
I don't think doctors get to learn any of this even now.
Homeopathic doctor. MD’s don’t learn this….just medicine.
This really needs spreading. I work in a hospital orthopaedic clinic where we test regularly for vit D deficiency. Most people tested are deficient.
What percentage would you say and by how much are they deficient? What are some of the common illnesses and diseases are these people experiencing?
We test only when clinical symptoms indicate, the results are over 70%. The amount they are deficient by, I cannot quantify as the test results I see vary and I have never performed a statistical analysis. Deficient for our purposes is enough to begin supplementation or investigate dietary intervention.
The symptoms we are testing deficiency for are typically Joint pain and recurrent/chronic ligament pain or recurrent fractures/sprains ligament instability, it appears to be positively correlated with these conditions.
Barry Tedder Very interesting! Too bad you can't become your own scientist and analyze this stuff, I think it would be a ground-breaking piece of material for others to read. I'm very interested in all this. I recently had a bad bout with allergies and asthma (that I thought was due to my acid reflux / GERD). But the more I delved deeper, the more I realize that all three of those were symptoms of the main cause, which I now to be deficiencies in certain vitamins, particularly vitamin D! I work nights and so I was not able to get much sun for the last few years I've been working at this job. When I'm not at work, I'm sleeping in a darkened room. I also have some joint pain as well. Mind you, I'm only 33 years old, very fit and strong male, I was lifting weights 2 times a week and doing hardcore intense cardio 3 times a week. Was around 6'1 and 175 lbs. very solid muscle too. Over the last two months it's gone to heck because I couldn't lift weights without feeling like I was gonna die from not being able to catch my breath after each set. I'm just now starting to feel better after about a week of getting Vitamin D (6,000 IU per day).
There are good studies already available for the efficacy of Vitamin D just do a search online.
Glad you are feeling better, its a feelgood vitamin after all! : )
I worked at a hospital which was conducting studies in relation to breast cancer and lowered levels of Vitamin D. There are loads of studies being conducted, but I believe the studies would be much more accurate if insurance would pay for the test or count it against your deductible.
As usual, most helpful, clear and precise. You are a good communicator -- you do not talk down to people, nor try to impress with your knowledge . . . you keep it simple, you stick to the facts, you make it practical, and make it understandable. Thank you!
Vitamin D3 (the most common form) has a half-life measured in weeks, so a large weekly dose is fine. Most recent research suggests 30,000 IU per day is worthwhile with no sign of toxicity.. In the elderly, to prevent Vit D from depositing calcium on bone as it does when young but when elderly, deposits calcium on blood-vessel linings, the established vitamin recently proved to be the right path, is Vitamin K2, at least 180 mcg/day. Some of the info in the video is outdated.
My vitamin D deficiency started after breastfeeding my two little ones. One to 3 years old and my other one til 2 years old. All together 5 years including tandem breastfeeding and breastfeeding my entire pregnancy. I support breastfeeding and so happy I did but ladies be mindful and supplement not only your breastfed baby with vit D but also yourselves, no one mentions this but it's so important and will save you a lot of unnecessary health problems.
I must admit
U r one of the best doctors. Ethical, knowledgable, good communicator using simple , jargon free Language , while offering valuable advice💚👌
You are a born healer. Your voice, your ‘bedside manner’ and of course tour wealth of knowledge. Thank you doctor! 🙏
My doctor recently tested my Vitamin D level, and it was very low. I started taking Vitamin D3 and getting out in the sun more. Now I feel so much better and my energy level is getting better!
Thanks. Another fantastic video. We are so grateful for the videos you make each day and literally hundreds or thousands we can view. I wish you had a regular radio program.

Excellent information from a holistic perspective looking at the whole picture. This is what I want to see more of! Love the content and your explanations in all your videos!
He has over 2000 videos now plus seminars and books. Enjoy!
Dr. Eric , you are doing a great job to educate the people . keep on doing this kind of charity.
Soooo informative Dr. Berg!!! I studied nutrition and dietetics and no one really talks about the synergistic relationships between the vitamins much at all! it’s something we have to learn for ourselves if we even know to look for it as students. Nutrition information is so limited in the academic world sometimes thankyou thankyou thankyou for this little vid 🙏🏻
Dr. Berg is a phenomenal blessing to public health.
Thank you. So interesting. You're giving us facts that are useful and so important.
This is a great video, Dr. Berg! I can't believe I just now found it. SO helpful! Thank you so much!! 🙏
Thank you Dr. Berg! You have answered sooo many questions for me! 🙏🏻❤️
I've been taking vitamin D since summer started and haven't gotten sick once but I never knew about vitamin F! You are so informative Dr. Berg, thank you!!
Thank you Doctor - your skills as a lecturer are clear for all to see: I hope you are a teacher to other medical persons, as you are very good. Many thanks for this information..... it certainly strikes a chord with me, and I am grateful to have listened to you. Thank you.
Dr Berg you are incredible, I love watching your videos they are very informative and educational. Everytime I have a symptom of some kind I search for it in your videos. Thank you.
Makes sense, doc. I have purchased flaxseed oil to go along with an increase of dairy. I won’t stop using kefir though. If the ketogenic diet disallows kefir, then I will make adjustments to the Keto Diet. With that one exception, I value your work and continue to look for your CZcams films I have not yet seen.
This is great! Your explanation was fantastic. This was the first time I've heard of the relation between vitamin D and Vitamin F as well. Makes complete sense. Thank You
***** Which source was that? I didnt hear him recommend any shitty supplements. He only mentions food, does he not?
the RELATIONSHIP between D&F not supplementation
This is the first time I've ever heard of vitamin D associated with cholesterol
Really? - Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the natural form of vitamin D that the body makes from sunlight.

This is the " Dr Berg" look i always like. I like his style of sharing: brief and concise. More power to you Doc!
Is vitamin D a hormone?
You are an excellent teacher. Simple explanation for something not too simple.
Brilliant presentation. It all comes together on how minerals, vitamins, stress and thd environment are closely connected.
I really enjoyed and benefited. Wonderful. Thank you very much.
Dr. Berg. You’re the best
Wow, very impressing explanation. Highly appreciated! Thanks!
This is one of the most valuble infos on the Internet! Thank you doctor!
How does one increase bile salts production? And how does one know if they have low bile? Thanks Dr. B for thoroughness, simplifying but not too simplified explanations to healthier nutrition.
The human body is all about balance...too much or too little of something cause problems.
The human body balance is called Homeostatis.
@@LiftOffLife THANKS, I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT TERM "Homeostatis" FOR SUCH A LONG TIME THAT I FORGOT ABOUT IT !!!
I need to see Dr. Berg. Let me know when you come to Chicago. Thanks for all your knowledge....
This is very true, I personally have experienced both sides and all the symptoms are exactly as he says!
Wow!! Very well explained Sir!! 👍😊 Thank you so much Dr Berg!!❤ Praying that God will continue in giving you wisdom and generous heart to help us through those knowledge that your sharing on all your videos 👍❤😊
Amen.
I know people that are constantly sick. They don’t consume fats or go out in the sun. This all makes perfect sense
Thank you Dr.Berg,very informative.
Thanks for all the best biochemical explanations. These are the deepest and easiest elaborations of the biochemical processes being taken place in our bodies.
Thank you for this, you explained it so clearly going to invest in some cod liver oil and bile salts, new subscriber, looking forward to watching more of your educational videos (thumbs up)
wwow
Cod live is also high in Vitamin A which can block VD3. For this reason it is no longer recommended as a source of VD3 by experts. Two VA molecules emulate a weak VD3 response which fools the body into thinking the VA is VD3 - but it's not and won't function as VD3 which is a powerful hormone. Don't use Cod Liver oil to get your VD3 - seriously a very bad idea. Go the the Vitamin D council and search on Cod Liver Oil, or just google it.
Trittydi Cod liver oil provides the right BALANCE of this vitamins to the liver. If your fat soluble vitamins where kicked out of balance by megadoses of Vitamin D -- cod liver oil might be your rescue.
Google, with no question, reflects the current hormone D hype. Dont jump on this train as it leaves you with metastatic calcium in your tissues, bone spurs, depeletes you of magnesium ond othe rvital minerals/vitamins. Enjoy the sun and let your body do the rest. It knows what it has to do.
thank you so much . same here
I was just watching a video on vitamin D deficiencies and thought to myself “Dr Berg really should check this out!” And what do you know, here it shows up in my feed
Thank you very much for this nutrition lesson. It explains a lot of my problems.
Very interesting! Thanks for that great explanation, Dr Berg.
Thank you for your hard work!
Dr. Berg how do I find out if I am lacking bile in my liver?
Dr. Berg gives some of the best presentations and advice on health related issues.
Best ten minutes you could ever spend in youtube thank you Dr berg DC
Dr. Berg can you help us understand the importance of Vitamin C in combination with D3 to help with D3 absorption?
I calledmy doc about my blood tests and wad told everything was normal. I asked him to send me a copy of the tests....I'm vitamin D deficient. I'm aggravated I wad told my bloodwork is normal!!! What is wrong with these doctors?
Maybe it's not fault of doctors,they'v been thought at school farmacy and how to prescribe pills to make business,they don't know how to go after what causes the symptoms,they just diminish the symptoms synthetically to sell you pills...
Dana -- They're ignorant. Their medical schools are funded by the pharmaceutical companies; therefore, they have a lot of control over their education. MD's only have about a chapter in a book about nutrition in their training and that's it.
I've had similar experiences. Some of my test results have been borderline.. Say... Just 1 point out of 43 away from deficiency, and yet they'll tell me I'm "Fine. No problem" and not show me the numbers until I push for it.
Well, why not tell me, and help me now, before things get even worse?
Secondly, different labs use different "reference ranges". This means one lab will say you're deficient if your score is say 25, but another will only mark you as deficient if you're 22 or below.
Some people say the reference ranges have been changed over time, to hide the fact that more and more people have too low/ high numbers (this accusation is more prevalent in countries with free health care, where the government is under pressure to save money on health care).
Or they may do the opposite, and adjust reference ranges so that more people are diagnosed with a certain problem, which leads to more people being prescribed drugs, or being diagnosed with an illness that politicians or charities want to use.
It's good to ask for a print out of test results for yourself. I don't expect most doctors to be too happy about it. Most don't seem to like curious patients. But, imho, if they are good, they'll see it as a positive thing.
Everyone need to be actively involved in their healthcare. Do not leave it up to doctores only. for them you are a needle in a hey. Be proactive and take responsibility for your owen health.
I’m sure my blood tests showed vitamin D deficiency long before I made an appointment to find out why I was tired all the time and getting fatter and fatter. They told me I had Vitamin D deficiency and put me on 1.25MG a week for the past 6 months but I haven’t seen much difference. I was told by someone that your body can’t process the vitamin D supplements without your being in sunlight. I don’t know if that’s true or not but thanks to Dr. Berg, I’m slowly making sense of how all this works. About to get some Cod liver oil.
This is SO interesting, thank you very much for explaining it so well. Now I go around and tell all my friends and family about vitamin F and the food sources for it.
I watched a bazillion videos about Vitamin D over the years and you are the first to point out the Vitamin F connection. Thank you sooo much!
Thanks for sharing about the vitamin D & F relationship!
+Andréas Remis PLANT BASED VEGAN ~ He didn't mention ensuring you take adequate amounts of vitamin K = green vegetables. They help distribute the high dose of supplements (vit D) which would otherwise calcify your arteries, cause kidney problems etc.
Now I'm searching for vitamin F... Not once have I heard of it's relationship to vit D before.
Franka Sensale Vitamin F (omega 3s) can be found in flax and chia (ALA forms). Can also use algae supplement to get DHA form of omega 3 (as ALA is converted inefficiently into EPA and then again to DHA).
Thank you Andreas.
You seem to know your stuff already, being vegan for such a short time. I watched some of your videos. You're doing good, but I have yet to see you eat a nut. Heh heh!
Vitamin F = Linolic acid... raw nuts, seeds, legumes, and flaxseed oil. Walnut and grape seed oil are also good sources but I just don't like them.
I also take Spirulina. Have been doing so for over 10 years and it keeps my iron levels from dropping further. I have an inherited blood disorder that makes me seriously anaemic.
Gosh, I sound like the unhealthiest vegan. LOL
Franka Sensale I do not eat nuts because of their extremely high omega 6 to 3 content. I try to balance my omega 3 to 6 ratios by eating a lot of flax and chia. Hemp is also okay, but the rest of seeds and nuts are super high in 6:3, sometimes 4000:1 !
I love nuts. Can't live without them. Although I've just discovered I no longer like Brazil nuts and am allergic to raw hazlenuts.
Ideally, your diet should contain equal proportions of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (no more than 3 parts omega-6 to one part omega-3). But I suppose you know that already.
I learned the hard way... got too thin and am now increasing fats in my diet to help absorb the high doses of vitamin D3 (vegan). Osteomalacia (adult Rickets). *OUCH!
You're very lean. Looks good on you but don't over-do it at the gym and look after your shoulder. x
Yes can you please tell me what bile salts are? And which vegetables are compatible? Thank you so much looking forward to hearing from you. Carrie
Carrie Bishop : I was wondering if you got a reply. I hv almost same quest
Bile salts/ox bile. Helps digest fats. Look up Jarrow bile salts. Follow the directions. And pop a vitamin d as well when taking bile salts. You can't use it long term. Bile salts only short term while you supplement on Vit. D.
This is very new to me. Thank you doc :)
I learned so much from listening to you. Thank You! Keep them coming!
Hi Eric , interesting info on vit D and F, i have been sick for a long time had chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the past when i was 32 and had cervical cancer in my early 40s . I would catch colds and flu every winter . I have started on Vitamin D3 taking 3000 Iu a day . Interesting info on vit F and how to achieve this , i will incorporate into my diet Thank you for sharing your Video .
I was down to 7 last January. I took 50,000 IU for 6 weeks + regular Vit-D supplement afterwards. After 3 months, my levels were up to 50. Hopefully they're higher now.
manco82 just today my results came back and I’m at a 12
That's really clear and benifcial lecture , love it
Really interesting information that I will definitely tell others about this. I hope I can explain it as well as Eric Berg!
Thanks doctor, this is great stuff! I've been on keto for a year and have been eating more of the things mentioned and, of course, zero sugar. Apart from the weight loss, which was not my motive, I've noticed an all round improvement in my health. Also, my freckle "red-head" skin isn't burning in the sun, although I've also cut out sun screen. Another unexpected thing is that people say I appear younger now.
Why you cut out sunscreen all dermatologist says to put on?
And that was 7 years ago Dr Berg long before COVID but you were aware of that seasonal cycle that we are trapped today. Thanks for the connection and explanation of Vitamin F..
Thank you Dr Eric. I love your videos and the way you explain step by step I have to start doing this things
This makes so much sense. Thanks for the info.
Hi Dr. Berg, I recently discovered your channel, and my god I'm hook to it; you're doing a good job. Question: If Vit.D is responsible to take calcium from the stomach to the Blood and Vit.F is responsible to take the calcium from the blood to the Skin; which Vitamin is responsible to take calcium to the Heart?
Dr Eric love and respect.
Learning so much from you.
Sir u can't imagine how much this video has helped me.
I find your presentation very informative and easy to understand. I will review yr other videos and get back to you. Good job!
Excellent vidio, it has a good information about vitamin D.
Geoengineering (high altitude dispersion of nano aluminum, barium, etc....chemtrails) causing global dimming is why we are all not getting enough of the vit-D promoting rays.
So true along with all the diseases it is giving us.
several years ago, like way back I read a little tidbit in our magezine the awake, and it was about the pollutants in the atomospher that has dimmed the earth by 10 percent. it si probably higher now.
Vicki Takacs uuiuuu
Sweetcheeks Babycakes - Ah right, so you didn't hear a word said in the video then? Great. Just great.
Again as usual, great presentation. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Another amazingly informative video! Thank you so much Dr Berg!
With the ratio of Vitamin D and Vitamin K that you've indicated, how important is Vitamin K in allowing absorption of calcium more into the bones? What would be the ratios. I've been taking VitD for years and recently VitK over the last 2 years. VitF is something new to me.
Yep...Really no record of deficiencies until year 2000; about 4 years after the onslaught of chemtrails...they are way worse now then in the beginning. I was just diagnosed with Vit D deficiency, and I know that is the reason.
This is the most interesting video on vitamins and how they work that I have ever seen
The information you share is great, Dr. Berg! Just a suggestion: Write in larger print...Maybe use COLOURED POWERPOINTS....it would make it easier to follow!
Stress is def #1...that one thing can cause many problems
true
Great videos.. Question: what company is a good source for cod liver oil?
FERN-D visit www.karlimanoel1229.i-fern.com
NOT a great video...for optimal health recommended dose is way too low!! google or youtube Dr. Stasha Gominak and see her presentation....unbelievable link between poor sleep, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and heart issues...and low Vit. D.....also this guy fails to say that Vit. D should be taken only in the D3 form...along with cofactors like Vit. K2 and Magnesium....
1964Loukas Read the comment where he says Vit. D3 is poison and is used in rat poison. Prescription Vit. D is D2-whats the difference?
1964Loukas I heard you need adequate vita a, to counter the calcium deposits in the wrong places, and for me megadosing on vitad3 is the only thing addressing my problems (the ones you just mention once there I was megadosing at 40,000 iu for a while and my bp did come down quite a bit and I have stage 2 hp) but I lowered if for fear of these deposits but because I eat a ton of butter supplement with vitamin including magnesium, vita bs, zinc etc that is probably why I could megadose like I did, I am back to megadose because my symptoms returned and now they are starting to abate but it is not a fast process.
Great,thanks
Love the videos. Their so helpful. Keep up the great work. Passing you on to my friends. Forever fans
Thank You Dr Eric Berg DC I’m New To Your Channel And I’m Learning So Much From You I Appreciate How You Take Your Time And Explain 🦋🦋🦋
Dr. Berg, at about 10' you said that Vit F comes from consuming Omega 3 in sunflower oil, safflower oil, etc. But I just checked those oils are Omega 6, quite opposite to Omega 3. Could you please clarify?
Leonard Marder I believe the ideal ratio of omega 6: omega 3 is 4:1. Most people have ratios that are too high in omega 6. Omega 6 isn't inherently evil. It just needs to be kept under control.
This video was uploaded 28 May 2013 my birthday! And m watching it almost on 28 May 2019 😊
I was just diagnosed what you were talking about thank you so much. do you and Thomas explain things so good look forward to always finding good videos
Hero for humanity...I binge watch these priceless videos.
Thank you Dr Berg
International Units IU, not milligrams.
Sun block causing deficiency
Is there a compromise between not burning and damaging our skin, and getting enough vitamin D?
Alan Fox Yes you only need to expose yourself to sun 20 mins or so several days a week and you still have to take care not to let your skin get burnt.
Everyone inside all day,
I did go out in the sun for about half an hour a day to get my Vit D, during the peak hours. My Vit D level was 10!!! I pointed this out to my doctor. They said something like that only works when you're in your twenties. What? I take Vit D.
Alan Fox -- As he explained, you need to get more Vitamin "F" to help prevent sunburn and for the sun not to damage our skin
Thank you for being a blessing to me.
I learned alot about vit F as well as D. Really informative. Im here during the pandemic of 2020. Hope all here are well
Wikipedia says Cholecalciferol is: Use as rodenticide[edit]
Rodents are somewhat more susceptible to high doses than other species, and cholecalciferol has been used in poison bait for the control of these pests. It has been claimed that the compound is less toxic to non-target species. However, in practice it has been found that use of cholecalciferol in rodenticides represents a significant hazard to other animals, such as dogs and cats. "Cholecalciferol produces hypercalcemia, which results in systemic calcification of soft tissue, leading to renal failure, cardiac abnormalities, hypertension, CNS depression, and GI upset. Signs generally develop within 18-36 hr of ingestion and can include depression, anorexia, polyuria, and polydipsia."[20]
In New Zealand, possums have become a significant pest animal, and cholecalciferol has been used as the active ingredient in lethal gel baits and cereal pellet baits "DECAL" for possum control. The LD50 is 16.8 mg/kg, but only 9.8 mg/kg if calcium carbonate is added to the bait.[21][22]
Kidneys and heart are target organs.[23]

Great info Dr
You were amazing and informative 7 years ago, and you still are Dr. Berg.. All the love from the middle east.
U answered a lot after my mom passed away last year I started going downhill high cortisol low vitamin d and it took me six months of hell symptoms before I found out vitamin d was 25 ...stress is the factor I believe
Sorry for your loss. 25 is not that bad! Some people are in the single digits without even realizing.
Croo ookie yup... just found out I'm a 9
25 is horrible. Should be around 60.
Im 10 lol.
@@chubbatheBOSS wow thats a Guiness Record low isn't it?
Yes, this is a missing link for calcium absorption
What do u mean?
thank you Dr Berg... that was a real education... I listened to it a few times and really appreciate the detail, the explanation of interaction... with direct reference to vitamin sources... brilliant.
Thank you so much mr Dr. Eric for your sharing such very beneficial knowladge out of your benefaction
I was complaining to my dr. of fatigue, I was lethargic, weeping, sad for 2 yrs. Finally her office started testing for low Vit D. It came back I was in the extreme low category and she prescribed 50,000 IU a week for 8 weeks. After 2 weeks the brain fog lifted, It was like I had a new pair of glasses. She instructed me to get OTC Vit D and take large amounts. I did and I have had 2 kidney stone surgeries. How can I take vitamin D-3 without it going calcium in my kidneys?
That's what I like to know
I think you were just taking way too much. Stick to 5000 IU per day or even every other day.
Dia Ramer I heard you have to take vitamin K with VitaminD because it acts as a vehicle driving VitaminD to your bones and not your soft tissue.
What I do is take actual Kale and blend it up with my Vitamin D pills. Kale has a TON of Vitamin K.
Mac Viking that's awesome thanks for the tip👍🏼😊
Good presentation! Kudos about digestive enzymes implicated!
Would like to see research done on those who also have GERD, and mineral deficiencies[ mostly not mentioned in mainstream medicine].
And the good oils. And bile system issues.
Vit. D acts like a hormone in the body. Different forms of D: D2 must be converted in order to use it, and D3, which is immediately usable.
It's important to get tested using a 25[OH]D blood test to learn levels, and periodically recheck it. Functional levels and Therapeutic levels are disputed, but, therapeutic levels might well be around 75 to 100 [not the 30 to 50 suggested by more conservative entities].
But he seems to miss: that it's critically important to clean up our lives:
We live in a soup of many thousands of hormone-interrupting chemicals. They interrupt the body's use of, or block conversion to usable forms of, all hormones...including insulin, sex hormones, thyroid, etc.
There are several steps between the body getting or making hormones, and the body using them functionally; any of those steps interrupted, can make a functional deficiency, while still showing "normal" on lab tests...which in today's mainstream medicine, results in many ills never getting diagnosed, never treated, or worse, treating symptoms wrongly.
Sure, most modern folks also are, effectively, 'cave dwellers'..but, that story doesn't play well, for those living in tropical areas who are out in the sun all day, yet still deficient.
So far, I have yet to hear of ANY research which seriously investigates hormone interrupting chemicals' effects, beyond cursory hypothetical mention. Yet, those have such far-reaching implications for ASD, MS, Cholesterol problems, dental malformations, gender identification issues, immune disorders, cardiovascular and cancer ills, etc.
Also, why have Docs stopped diagnosing Rickets, probably over 60 years ago, that DX almost stopped being made. Kids with "growing pains", parents were rarely, if ever, told to feed kids dark green leafy veggies; some told to eat more dairy products. In the 1960's, it got popular for Docs to Rx Calcium by itself...very bad, because women doing that, had huge increases in heart attacks. WHY the focus on calcium, especially since magnesium is as, important, if not more important?
