    Bro Holick, I might not agree with you regarding your theory of evolution, but I highly respect you. I bought your book and it will forever change my life and that of my kids. I take my 3 boys out of the house, shirts off and make sure the 4 of us get at least 10 min of quality sunlight 3 times a week. My youngest boys 5 yrs old) is already bubbling over with energy and he says that the sun is his 'Happy Vitamin'. Bro Holick, thank you for everything that you've done. Thank you for being brave in spite of all the opposition. Thank you for Loving and fighting for mankind. I pray God's richest blessing apon you and your family. You're my hero. I so wish that I too can impact as many lives for the good as you do... Your book is deffinately one of the most inspiring books on my list yet... Bless u....

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:45 👨‍🔬 Holick introduces himself and the topic of the positive health impacts of sunlight.
    01:13 💡 Sunlight affects skin through its radiation, not heat. Skin pigment protects against sun damage.
    02:46 ⚠️ Excessive sun exposure increases skin cancer risk. UV damages elastic tissue, causing wrinkling.
    04:07 🔬 UVB makes vitamin D in skin. Visible light penetrates deeply. UV effects depend on wavelength.
    08:29 🛡️ Melanin protects skin like an umbrella over cell nuclei. Tanning is the body's natural sunscreen.
    12:38 📈 Sunlight treatments were popular until antibiotics and pharmacology took over in 1940s.
    19:43 💊 Diet/food can't provide enough vitamin D. Sun exposure is the best natural source.
    29:23 🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏻 Darker skin needs 5-10x more sun exposure to produce adequate vitamin D.
    47:17 💉 Higher vitamin D levels reduce cancer risk. Sunlight regulates genes and metabolism.
    52:30 ☀️ Sensible sun exposure has no downsides. Supplements help achieve healthy vitamin D levels.

    Get the iOS app dminder. I use it every day. It allows you to press a button and it will tell you from your geographic location, and your self reporting of the cloud cover, how much vitamin D you’re getting per minute. And by the end of your time in the sun, you will have a total computed in international units. Also the dminder tells you exactly when is the right time to go out in the sun and when it will not be effective. It shows you on a arc where the sun becomes available in your area. Every morning I use this to calculate what is the approximate time I will go out to try to get about 25 minutes of sunshine. And as he says in the video, the effect of sunshine is last 2 to 3 times longer than the same international units in a pill.

    One thing he wasn't explicit about and should have been was the vast discrepancy between Black and White rates of normal levels of Vitamin D levels in the US and the amount of time it would take to reach 60 ng/l.
    According to his graph it should actually take African Americans 10-20 times longer to reach 60 ng/, which would equate to having to be exposed at least a couple of hours per day of sunlight compared to the minimum recommendation of 15-20 minutes for Caucasians.
    This has vast implications, especially with regard to Covid-19 cases, of which 30% or more are attributed to African Americans. I wish that experts like himself and others would make recommended sunlight exposure times more clear, because saying the sun can cure all these other ailments then further exposes the health disparities in the Black community which isn't hardly being addressed at a basic level.

    • @dlarge6502
      @dlarge6502 Před 4 lety +10

      Thats because a suppliment gives you a tiny amount, 1000 IU. Half an hour in the correct sun (where there is UVB) looks to generate around 10,000 IU.
      The liver then converts this into a form that can last up to 3 weeks in the blood and is converted as needed by the kidneys into the active form of "Vitamin D"
      Where I live it is very hard to get UVB. In the UK UVB is only available during half of the year and only for around 2 hours a day while the sun is high enough. There is 0 UVB in winter here. None. Yet nobody is telling anyone to take the supplements! Even though they are only 1000 IU. As "Vitamin D" is not in the diet in significant amounts, the supplements should practically be posted through your door by the NHS to stop you getting so ill during winter.

    I think when he explained how darker skinned individuals need to stay out in the sun longer to get the same level of vitamin d as caucasians, he could have gone into deeper detail (albeit, I’m sure his audience are a bunch of caucasian just like himself so its not important to point this info out to them, however it should be if you are really trying to learn the most)
    While it does take darker skinned individuals longer to achieve the same level of vit d as a light skin individual that is perfectly fine & is a good thing because they can actually take longer amounts of time outside in the UV rays without experiencing adverse effects like caucasians who would suffer skin burn and mutations that could ultimately lead to skin cancer. Darker skin individuals do not face this drawback as readily as light skin people & are allowed more time outdoors in the sun to get their vitamin d freely with little drawback. Caucasians need to be more careful & its a adequate mutation for them to get their vitamin d, but a perfect design for darker skin people as he mentioned early in the video. The darker skin is actually much more beneficial than having pale light skin. The darker skin can spend more time outdoors without adverse effects & is more resilient. Just something i think he may have forgot to add.
    Much of this information is targeted to white people...we need unbiased delivery of information. Not one sided leaning info. Shame!!!

    His comment about a statin not effecting cholesterol synthesis in the skin is interesting. But just to be clear, Statins do negatively effect cholesterol in our bodies. Cholesterol LDL and HDL are protective. But you want high HDL and high LDL, And triglycerides to HDL ratio you want less than one. It's the best predictor of cardio vascular risk and insulin sensitivity.
    People who live longest have higher LDL cholesterol. Cholesterol, "plaque" in arteries is blamed for the cause of the inflammation and block. It is at the sight of the inflammation, too help repare, acting as a band aid.
    It's insulin resistance from sugar and excessive carbohydrates, and bad oils (PUFA's) in our western diet that causes heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disease.

    I heard that we only get UVA sunrays through windows, and blocks the UVB from coming through, which causes damage to our skin. But now it sounds like our skin is reacting to the imbalance of only getting UVA and making the protective melanosomes deeper in our dermis so it isn't protecting us from UVB rays from entering at the top layer, epidermis. Is that correct?
    I thought UVB, is the beneficial rays that makes vitamin D, so it wouldn't be causing damage. What does too mutch UVB do?

    • @z.deutch1334
      @z.deutch1334 Před 7 lety +3

      You don't need the whole spectrum. UVA rays are damaging so that's one EMR you don't want extra exposure to. Get a UVB lamp or take vitamin D3, and get a Near Infrared (NIR) lamp - the sun emits infrared and the near wavelength is highly beneficial to the skin and body. He mentioned that exposure to the sun increases nitric oxide, well that comes from the sun's near infrared range.

    • @rist98
      @rist98 Před 6 lety +1

      UVB is the only part of the spectrum that we don't get in our artificial environments, that we would get from the sun. All others, UVA, Visible light, Infrared. All of it, we have plenty of, in out artificial environments. Its the UVB that is lacking.

    • @karoo_bushman6880
      @karoo_bushman6880 Před 3 lety +3

      Check the 'Osram Ultra Vitalux 300W' lightbulb, it has almost the full spectrum of sunlight. Ancient technology, now forbidden by 'Big Sunscreen'. I measured the output with a VEML6075 sensor and found it to output 27% UVB, the rest of UV energy ist UVA (zero UVC) and then very bright white light so you automatically squint when looking at it. I think it's as close to equatorial 12 'o'clock sunlight as possible. I didn't measure NIR or IR output but suspect not much, so for that you'd need one of those 660nm + 850nm LED arrays (which I also got). We use it during the winter, it significantly increases our mood and sleep quality (my sleep tracker says 8 hours and 3 hours of deep sleep every night, my wife even 4h deep). All my aches are gone. My blood pressure has dropped. I have more energy during the day. No seasonal flus/colds. VitD levels high, no supps needed. Can imagine more benefits but those are the ones we noticed. Great long lasting tan as well. We hang two of those bulbs 70cm away from our full naked body over the bed, one for upper body and one for lower body. We use microphone stands to get them that high up and you can move them around too. We do a 3-4 minutes front and then 3-4 minutes back. Start with one minute, check if you get red, then increase a minute every day. You should get a tan but not a burn, then you're getting enough. You can also just use one bulb, but then your legs will not get the preparation and protection for summer. Best would be a whole array and then more distance (1-1.5meter) so you get more even exposure, but this would mean more electricity used, so we use only two and move around a bit (turn face etc.) to get more spread out exposure. The 660nm + 850nm NIR/IR LED panels have proven to increase Collagen and repair damage from sunlight in the skin, we include this (red light therapy) to mitigate the detrimental effects of UVR on skin. All in all it's like living in the tropics and feeling good year round, yet scientifically administered and hopefully because no burn no cancer and because NIR/IR no wrinkles or spots.

So any skin, face, arms, torso legs all same amount? sorry for all the questions, just very interesting. Heard DrGominak say primitive yeast used to make vite D2, wonder if still does. labs for 25H D and but what about active for 1,25oh? Someone told me he had low D lab but later tested active form and was high(had sarcodosis(?). What if already have low BP would sunlight make worse or only if need lowerBP.

      Get a 660nm + 850nm LED array and expose the same area you expose to UVB. Get very close (0-30cm) and do 10-15 minutes sessions, once a day. Scientifically shown to improve collagen production and mitigate any damage done by UVR. Even protects for future UVR if done before. Many peer reviewed studies showing this, do a google.

    What is the correlation between UVB exposure to the skin in various latitudes and seasons with clear or overcast conditions? In the peak of summer on a heavy overcast day I am assuming that the UVB levels would be nonexistent?? At 55 degrees N latitude in a temperate coastal rain forest what amount of Vitamin D3 can be accumulated over a typical summer? Since we have less than 100 sunny days year round which includes partially cloudy days and precipitation on 234 days (averages some years can be considerably darker and wetter) the manufacturing of Vitamin D3 in a normal body (which brings up the question of relationship of extremely obese, large surface area to a slender small surface area production of D3?) would be insufficient for good health?? Is artificial sunlight better than supplemental D3?
