Vitamin D levels advised

Read the link to the original paper,

Deficiency of vit D limits the performance of systems resulting in, increased spread of diseases of civilization

Reduced protection against infections

Reduced effectiveness of vaccination

Covid fatality rates correlate with,

Elderly, dark, black people, comorbidities, winter

Blood level of 20 ng/mL, (50 nmol/L) sufficient to stop osteomalacia

Preferable, 40–60 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)

Vitamin D3 receptors

Bone

Intestine

Pancreas

Prostate

Immune system cells

Vitamin D is a powerful epigenetic regulator

Influencing more than 2,500 genes

Cancer

Diabetes mellitus

Acute respiratory tract infections

Viral lung infections that cause ARDS

Chronic inflammatory diseases

Autoimmune diseases

Multiple sclerosis

Immunomodulatory properties

Regulating innate and adaptive immune systems

D3 receptors

Monocytes/macrophages

T cells

B cells

Natural killer (NK) cells

Dendritic cells (DCs)

Supplements

Without calcium supplementation, even very high vitamin D3 supplementation does not cause vascular calcification

Vitamin D3 supplementation in the range of 4000 to 10,000 units (100 to 250 µg) needed to generate an optimal 40–60 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)

has been shown to be completely safe when combined with approximately 200 µg vitamin K2

However, this knowledge is still not widespread in the medical community, and obsolete warnings about the risks of vitamin D3 overdoses unfortunately are still commonly circulating.

ARDS and cytokine release syndrome

Vitamin D3 is able to inhibit the underlying metabolic pathways

Vitamin D3 has a protective role against ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2.

A rapidly increasing number of publications are investigating the vitamin D3 status of SARS-CoV-2 patients,

and have confirmed low vitamin D levels in cases of severe courses of infection

and positive results of vitamin D3 treatments

Conclusions

we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)

to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity.

At a time when vaccination was not yet available,

patients with sufficiently high D3 serum levels preceding the infection were highly unlikely to suffer a fatal outcome.

This correlation should have been good news when vaccination was not available but instead was widely ignored.

the lower threshold for healthy vitamin D levels should lie at approximately 125 nmol/L or 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3,

which would save most lives, reducing the impact even for patients with various comorbidities.

This is—to our knowledge—the first study that aimed to determine an optimum D3 level to minimize COVID-19 mortality

Implications for herd immunity

It seems clear that a good immune defense,

does not prove protection against physical infection

but rather against its consequences

This “protection” was most effective at ~55 ng/mL

Traditionally living populations in East Africa have a mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration of 115 nmol/l

natural vitamin D3 levels seen among traditional hunter/gatherer lifestyles,

in a highly infectious environment,

were 110–125 nmol/L (45–50 ng/mL)

WHO advice may not be correct

30 ng/mL D3 value considered by the WHO as the threshold for sufficiency

Future mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, vaccine immune escape

the entire population should raise their serum vitamin D level to a safe level as soon as possible.

As long as enough vitamin K2 is provided, the suggested D3 levels are entirely safe to achieve by supplementation.

Selenium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins A and E should also be controlled for and supplemented where necessary to optimize the conditions for a well-functioning immune system.

Next study

test PCR-positive contacts of an infected person for D3 levels immediately, i.e.,

before the onset of any symptoms,

and then follow them for 4 weeks and relate the course of their symptomatology to the D3 level,

the same result as shown above must be obtained

Not only is Dr. John Campbell a great source of objective information, I also find his videos oddly calming in these times of constant misinformation.
I'm grateful we have him.

I have Ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease) that have been active for over 10 year. From covid-19 info on YouTube I got information about vitamin D. I went to the doctor and measure vitamin D level, and I had a low level. Then I started one year ago to take vitamin D every day. After a couple of weeks I started to get better. After a couple of month the disease disappear (is inactive) .

[sento_segarra]

I have closely followed your video and I would like to congratulate you on such a good job. Very good documentation and great awareness work, as well as exposing the health authorities for not implementing a simple routine vitamin D analysis. Just great.

I am an advanced practice nurse in the US. I wish this man had been my lecturer in nursing school. Amazing!

I’m a plus size African American, and I’ve been on 10k IU of D3 daily since the beginning of this pandemic. Added 100mcg of K2 about 3 months ago. Not only have I not gotten even a basic cold, my fibromyalgia symptoms have dramatically subsided. My doctor…bless his heart…he did my blood work and cried about overdose, but I told him, I’m going to have to go my own way with this one. I’ve now had the best health during these past two years than ever!

[TechnoPandaMedia]

I had severe Vitamin D deficiency and my dark skin color made matters worse. 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 has made a profound impact in quality of my life. Physically I feel more energized and mentally I feel more positive.

I am a black man. You just explained my whole medical family history “risk” factors.

Thank you! ✝️❤️

[chuckharkes]

I am not a physician but I am a statistics and research geek. This is TOP SHELF information! Thanks Doc!

[uktvcool]

Why would big pharma want healthy populations who do not need expensive meds daily? This is why this info is not widely promoted - Vit D is wayaayyy too cheap and easy to make people healthy.

[irishroze]

I have started vitamin D3 4000 ie for two weeks now. My arthritis pain throughout my whole body has improved 85 percent. I'm so thrilled. Thank you! Also fatigue has improved 60 percent I'd say. I am a senior, fair complected and live in North Michigan snow belt. This has been a wonderful gift.

[jaccusenews]

In April 2021, Canada's then Health Minister Patty Hajdu said it’s “fake news” that Vitamin D can be taken to help protect Canadians. Hadju was responding to MP Derek Sloan asking why the public was not being told of the health benefits available to us all from Vitamin D3. We really must ask what is going on and why our health is not being addressed by our 'leaders'.

[lathangt]

I am 86 years of age and take 12, 000 IU a day of vitamin D3 and one K2 per 6000 IU of D3 at this time of year. I increase my D3 in winter to 18.000 IU a day.
I can't remember the last time I had a cold or felt ill at all! I don't understand why D3 isn't investigated to reflect all the good it does for human health! You Sir,
are providing a great and wonderful service to all who tune into your episodes!

[newgtguy]

Can I just say how much I love the fact that Dr. Campbell is so open to change based on new scientific evidence. This man has truly learned to avoid confirmation biases, narratives, and echo chambers. The rest of the world could learn a few things from him! Bravo sir!

[insaneinthebrain]

8 years ago i suffered from severe Depression but doctors were laughing at me when i said i want to get my vitD levels measured. My Level was at
6ng/ml ! They stopt laughing when the saw the numbers. I started taking high doses and my Depression vanished rapidly. Thank you Internet!

[dr.j]

This was one of the very best, most exciting, and hopeful Vit. D
presentations I have ever had the privilege to see. This incredible
information was science-based, captivating, understandable, and
enormously relevant to these pandemic times. All respect and deep
gratitude to DR John Campbell, a person, a medical professional, a true doctor with a human
heart, clearly dedicated to everyone's well-being. May God bless, comfort, and
protect you in all the days of your life.

[polarbearhero]

I’m a nutritionist and all I could think when they discussed those at risk for severe Covid was that they were the same populations at risk for vitamin D deficiency. I was shocked no one else seemed to pick up on it.

[ivanpetrov]

Dr. John, you are a breath for sanity in times of ambiguity!

[lauriesopas]

Hi Dr. Campbell! It's critically important to differentiate between vitamin K2, which the paper is recommending, and vitamin K1, which is what governments and multivitamins usually refer to when they refer to "vitamin K." Vitamin K2 is not found in measurable amounts in green leafy vegetables like Vitamin K1. Vitamin K2 is found in fermented foods and some animal products — goose liver pate and Gouda cheese, for example — so it is much less easily derived from a healthy diet. What we don't want is to increase vitamin K1, because that is implicated in increased clotting of the blood, contraindications with prescription blood thinners and increased clotting risks. The dosage suggested by the paper you highlighted is for K2 specifically, not all-inclusive "Vitamin K" which usually means K1.

Love you and your channel! Keep up the great work.

[abceng]

This year I've learned about human health more than during my whole life. Thank you, Dr. Campbell, for sharing viable knowledge.

[mariabeckwith]

That is the best explanation of the importance of Vitamin D that I have ever seen. Very relatable to us non medical viewers. Thank you thank you!!!
