Illegal Vitamin D Advice

How can you know if your Vitamin D is doing what you think it's doing? Many patients don't realize that they are not absorbing their vitamin D. Here's a way to increase your levels that I used with my dad.

I live in Florida and am 65 years old. When Covid hit and I had “to stay home”, I started walking A LOT with my dog. My vitamin D levels went up to 100, and my doctor didn’t believe that I wasn’t taking supplements. She actually put an email into my record calling me a liar about my not taking supplements. Since we are military retirees we were using the military health system. I had to request a different doctor because my doctor didn’t believe that I could get so much sun that my D levels would be
high but I didn’t burn. We eat keto/ketovore. By the way, Covid didn’t affect me either.

While vitamin D3 helps your body absorb more calcium,  vitamin K2 helps your body transport it to your bones and teeth rather than letting it sit in your arteries and other soft tissues in your body. This not only helps to promote bone health, but it also helps to keep your heart healthy as well.

D is absorbed better in conjunction with Vitamin K. My D level has been around 100 for several years. I am 76. I think it was what got my wife and I through the Covid trials. No Vaccine for us.

[RioGirl]

I take 10, 000iu’s daily with K2. During covid, I was taking up to 50, 000iu’s. My D levels were around 100. My doctor’s office called concerned that my levels were too high and told me to reduce my supplementation. I knew 100 is therapeutic and kept up what I was taking. I can’t remember the last time I had so much as a cold. I never got jabbed and never got Covid either

I live in Australia, melanoma capital of the world. I am 60 years old and as a child we spent all summer swimming at the local pool. We baked in the sun, at the start of summer our skin would blister and peel, our nose and cheeks were covered in scabs then by the end of summer we were dark tan and our skin was perfect. In those days my mum cooked everything in fat, there was no seed oil in our home and we didn’t even know what it was. We never ate out and any deserts were homemade with butter or cream, no seed oil. Now we have a population of people in their early twenties getting melanoma and that generation was brought up on seed oil. Is there a correlation between seed oil and melanoma because we definitely need sunlight for vitamin D.

I live in Florida and am outside all day. I never use sunscreen and use no lotions or creams except for coconut oil. I truly believe all the harmful chemicals in the processed foods and sunscreens people use are what is causing the skin cancer epidemic.

My level is at 70. The key is adding K2 and magnesium bisglycinate.

My mother sits outside in the sunshine whenever she can. Her lower legs and arms are tanned and her Vitamin D levels are very good.

Testing Vitamin D levels is great advice! Thanks.
Note: 100ng/ml is a better blood level to shoot for. Doctors are using old moldy info.
Young lifeguards in Florida were tested and averaged 125ng/ml!
The higher levels of D increase healing and immune function substantially.
I've read 5 books on D. It's one of the most important vitamins. It's the hibernation vitamin.
Way too many of us are low on D and hibernating.
You may need to supplement Magnesium along with D. The increased metabolism increases nutrient use.
Glad to see you're taking it with K2!

It's funny that you mention vitamin D because peer reviewed covid studies have shown that pandemic wasn't just a covid pandemic it was also a vitamin D defiency pandemic. we know that the right amount of vitamin D is crucial to the immune system.

[oliverknill]

This is reasonable advise. I myself need the sun not only for vitamin D but also for keeping my mood up. It does not need much but having some sun exposure in a reasonable amount can lift my energy level. Health is a holistic process. It is about balancing various risks and I myself chose that my mental health is an important factor when deciding what to do and what not to do. Especially during the pandemic one has completely misunderstood this. Locking folks into their dwellings was one of the worst decisions ever made.

[johnlakey]

My vitamin D3 blood level was 108ng and then my doc said cut down. While also telling me that I was an Outlier because my Prostate Cancer went into remission

[zanegrey]

I used to burn horrendously in the sunshine. The reason for this was vitamin B12 deficiency I corrected this by eating blue beef steaks. Once the B12 was at the correct level I could get natural UVB light from the sun and start to feel a lot better.

i, m learning that just because its fda approved dosn, t mean much other than a company can buy approval

[banginghats]

It's not just absorption, there's a two stage activation process, first in the liver and then in the kidneys. It also needs enough magnesium for it to happen properly. And vitamin K2 is needed to help calcium go to the right places, like bones and teeth, rather than vein and artery walls, etc.

[nanny]

I just learned from Dr. Berg that low levels of magnesium will affect your vitamin D absorption.

[ShelahMaul]

Actually...10 years ago I had Vitamin D in the high 20s and my doctor prescribed that same pharmaceutical 50, 000 IEUs and when I went back, it didn't have an effect on my levels. Then I started taking 5, 000=10, 000 vitamin D mixed in coconut oil and in 6 months, my Vitamin D was over 100 and I had to cut back. So, I came to the conclusion that big pharma version wasn't effective because it wasn't liposomal.

If you live in the northern hemisphere you are almost certainly short on Vit D in the winter months. I take 4000iu year round and at least a half hours sun bath all spring to fall. Even on those rare pleasant days in winter time. My health has improved dramatically since I started this.

[ClassicJukeboxBand]

I did a high-dose vitamin D experiment, A-LA Jeff T Bowles. I took 25k IU daily for two months, 35k IU for three more, then 50k IU for a month. I lost 20 lbs and felt great...

[Aaron-mngw]

Interesting to note there was no mention of K2 which is what the body needs to properly absorb vitamin D. Tanning bed not required.
