Did you know you could have normal blood vitamin D levels but still have a vitamin D deficiency?
Vitamin D resistance interferes with vitamin D levels and vitamin D absorption. Genetic problems, Lyme disease, and certain infections downgrade the vitamin D receptor. A deficiency in zinc, magnesium, or vitamin K2 will inhibit vitamin D function in the body. High cortisol, darker skin, diabetes, obesity, and other health conditions will also affect vitamin D absorption.
The RDA for vitamin D is only 600 IU when you actually need 8,895 IU every day! Research has shown that low vitamin D levels increase your risk for viral infections. People with tumors and cancer have been found to have low vitamin D.
New research has shown the benefits of vitamin D for autoimmune conditions. Dr. Coimbra from Brazil has used high vitamin D levels to treat patients with autoimmune conditions, and the results have been amazing. Another doctor using high doses of vitamin D3 has over 900 video testimonials of improvement in people with autoimmune diseases.
One eye doctor in Germany wrote a book about using high doses of vitamin D3 for glaucoma and other eye-related problems. “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics 4th Edition” addressed vitamin D resistance and vitamin D dosage of 50,000 IU to up to 500,000 IU!
Vitamin D allows you to absorb more calcium, so when you take high doses of vitamin D, make sure you’re not consuming calcium supplements. Take vitamin D with magnesium because it helps regulate calcium.

Thanks for watching! I hope this increases your awareness about the dangers of vitamin D deficiency. I’ll see you in the next video.
I had gut issues mostly in the morning
Depression with unknown cause
Eczema
Heart palpitations
After using 10k IUs for just 14 days i noticed a big change
D3+K2 saved my life
I’m also suffering from eczema & low on vitamin d.
Did your eczema went away after taking vitamin d3+k2 supplement?
@nafisatasnim7057 yes initially i had all sorts of remedies but none of them worked but upon using d3+k2 my skin is renewing itself
Which brand do you recomend??
Is Piping Rock a good brand??
@annaschannel7594 am using nutricost brand but i would recommend dr bergs brand since it has magnesium , zinc & k2 combined
I am so blessed to have found out about Dr.berg. since the 80s I’ve been going to physical therapy, 8 different Doctors but now I am down to 1 doctor mostly for check up and blood results love hearing my doctor asking me What are you doing for weight loss and BEST lab 🔬 results…..I told him I got a Doctor office in my house and even on the road driving…..Blessed
you may enjoy Dr. ken Berry also
I’m sure he loved that. 😂 Good job doing your own research. Doctors prescribed what B. Pharma told them to prescribe. Drug interaction questions, we were better off asking a pharmacist.
Amen
I’ll second that. I was a diabetic that was in the ICU in 2016. By December 2022, I was diabetes free following Berg’s advice. Autumn Bates on YouTube is my dietician 😄
@@androidboy7 That a blessing 🙏
I had no idea how crucial vitamin D is for fighting inflammation and autoimmune diseases! The link between vitamin D resistance, magnesium, and our immune system is mind-blowing. It’s crazy that so many people might be deficient without knowing it. Time to rethink those RDAs. Thanks for sharing!
Yah right?! This really connected a lot of dots. My family is very low cancer but high incidence of Alzheimer’s and I believe, if I’m not mistaken, that that is partially an inflammation issue
@@ElleeZee289Alzheimers is now nicknamed type 3 diabetes
That is my hope that come January, RFK will clean up much in our healthcare system, and part of what he wants funded is impartial scientists to study those vitamin and mineral standards. Currently they are set at the bare minimum to keep a soldier alive. Based on post WWI studies. We might have improved our measuring capabilities (the sensitivity), and the precision of that data. We were significantly different now, than we were then.
@@ElleeZee289my understanding is that all Alzheimer’s is from inflammation. Usually triggered by too high of a blood sugar level, for decades. Some call it insulin insensitivity or resistance. But many patients if fed keto or carnivore diets improve their cognitive function. Instead the USDA/FDA push diets high in carbohydrates and big pharma drugs.
This video is fire. So much unbiased information and straight talk. Dr Berg treats us like intelligent individuals who have the capacity to be advocates for our own health. I like that he tells what to look out for and how to reduce those risks.
With data to back it up 👏🏾✨
So well said! Dr Berg does talk to people in a great way! I love the Whiteboard presentations….started following Dr Berg about 3 years ago. A friend of a friend told me about him. I have had some unfortunate health events, and also have a benign paravertebral benign tumor at T 6 on the Mediastinum…not getting any help here in Ireland from the Drs. See no evil, hear no evil. They don’t want to know, despite visible changes, and Nerve issues, Muscle wasting, breathing problems and Digestive issues. At least with Dr Berg I can work on my health. I am so so glad and grateful we get all this thoroughly researched information by a Dr who really cares! Many Drs in Ireland are full of Ego….it is just awful. I wish he could talk about these type of benign tumors sometime, too. 8:47
Dr. Eric Berg thank you, God Bless you .
Hashimoto, endometriose, liver cirrhosis level 1, overweight, lots of infections, Vit. D level for years below 30 and the doctors gave me 600 I.U. Well, little did I know.
Now on keto and 50.000 I.U. vit. D, with K2, Magnesium, zinc. Feeling much better.
Which brands do you use?
Wow, keep standing strong 💪
What is your Vitamin D level now?
Are you taking 50,000 a day
@@ketokarbs3671 5000 currently
100% your videos have changed the way I approach health and wellness. THANK YOU for providing all this important info for free!
I wish I’d found the Dr sooner!! I am so thankful to have finally found him. I just found out I have AIHA on top of many autoimmune disorders.
Best teacher / instructor award should go to Dr Berg for his clear and concise explanation! Thank you!
Amen to this statement. 😅😢😅

I have been learning from Dr. Berg for exactly five years today. Have not been sick one day.
For first time in long time I beat an oncoming cold in my system. I started taking 10000iu daily of D3 in late August. And a persistent periodic cough has gone away too. Leftover severe bronchitis from Christmas 2023.
I don’t know how you survived all of this …Thank you for all of the information you share.
I (20yo) got my blood work checked and my Vitamin D level was 13.4ng/mL, 2 days after my results i got covid which probably delpleted my vitamin D even lower.The last 2 weeks i have been getting panic attacks out of nowhere, my doctor saw the results and only suggested 3000IU a day, ever since i saw your videos about Vitamin D you have really educated me on this topic and i have been getting 10000IU everyday and after 2 weeks i can already tell i feel much better and my anxiety have decreased a lot!!
Amazing. Thanks for following my advice. Stay safe!
I would take much more for a week or 2 something like 20-30k per day with k2
@@DrbergI’ve followed you for over 4.5 years and have been taking 10,000 IUs for most of that time, less in summer. My bloods have just revealed 275 nmol/L. Should I be worried?
@@DrbergDr Berg I started taking 6000 IU per day and my vitamin D is now 117!! Does it consider vitamin D toxicity? Thank you 🙏🏼 There are no videos about high vitamin D and what to do..
@@carolynp4260 it seems far too much…
I was an ER RN during the pandemic. The physicians started giving patients large doses of Vitamin D in the ER and they continued in their hospital stay. That’s when I discovered Vit D was so important. I was taking 2,000 IU in my multivitamin but then bumped it up to 10K units and have ever since. I’m never sick.
What brand do you take? Is 10k good to take long term?
Don’t take too much
@@peacepocket I use Andrew Lessman Procaplabs supplements for the past 30 years. I think 10K is good for me, I’m indoors mostly. I do take K2 also
@@vishalthelkar7668 Too much is not bad. 40 minutes in the sun gives you 10,000iu.
What do you think of plan demic
Wait… vitamin D is linked to autoimmune diseases, cancer, AND inflammation? And we’re out here thinking 600 IU is enough? This video just made me rethink everything.
History was rewritten to benefit the few
@@Drhei !!! My friend was every day on the bench for last 20 years… And got Lupus… His vitamin D level is perfect… He told me the sun is very active now and activated 3 autoimmune disease: Lupus, Shegren and another one…
@@medivh1035yep. And it goes far far beyond just food and medicine.
@@leokolev That’s really intense… I’m sorry to hear about your friend. Autoimmune diseases can be so unpredictable and it’s wild how things like sun exposure might play a role. Even if his vitamin D levels are fine, being in the sun that much could have triggered something if he was already at risk. I hope he’s getting the support he needs!!!
@Drhei Yes, it’s really really sad… He has 3 autoimmune disease.. and Lupus killing his kidney, they working now about 30% and every month he gets 1 infusion, each one cost $5350 + other medications, doctors and blood tests, altogether about $7000 per month… Now they are in risk to lose a house… They are from NJ .
Dr Berg, thank you so much, I really needed this information. I was constantly being put on prednisone which caused weight gain. My pain levels increased and now I’m told I have an autoimmune disease ontop of my other autoimmune disease. Thru your wisdom, videos, etc, I decided to help myself at this point. I started IF, vitamin d, magnesium, n now I’m doing a prolonged fast. It got so bad I was having trouble walking I was in so much pain, sitting, etc. I’m going to do this and eliminate all this inflammation that I know is the root cause. Thank you so much. I been thru several Doctors and I quit after no help from them and I tell them Dr Berg is my Doctor, to me you are, because they are not helping, only making my situation worse. Thank you so much, I’m in tears writing this, you have no idea how much you helped me.
Keep doing you! Doctors like to keep us sick, unfortunately! My functional medicine Dr. taught me 10 years ago when you have autoimmune issues you must keep your vitamin D levels high
Now they’re saying Prednisone is linked to Cancer
You sound like me. I have Hashimptos and Vitiligo and I now believe I have developed Polymyalgia Rheumatica – the second bout at 59 years old. The first time was hip bursitis and tendonitis in both ankles but now muscle pain in arms, shoulders, hips, thighs and calves. I am totally disillusioned with Drs who will want me on steroids. I have been managing it with fish oil, green tea, 20,000iu per day Vit D, Vit K2, zinc and I have just upped my magnesium to 2 tablets per day to see if that helps. Unfortunately I have had to also take 2 x Arthrexin per day otherwise I am in too much pain. I hate having the anti inflammatories but I am trying hard to reduce the inflammation. Have also commenced carnivore diet but may even have to go fill Lion diet to stop the inflammation. My best wishes to you in your journey – you are not alone ❤
@allison471 Wow, Dr Berg taught me a lot, the others truly work for themselves and Big Pharma, smh
@@humbertosalinas6912 Oh no, wow, very sad
Hi. 56 year old male in northern latitude here. I take 20,000 IU of D3 with proportionate doses of K2 and magnesium daily, for the last three years. Never had a sniffle or any other malaise. Take this seriously. ❤
During COVID I began taking vitamin D3, zinc and vitamin C. This has helped my skin pigmentation. I was diagnosed with Vitiligo when I was in my teens. Also gave me more clarity of mind
Yep. I don’t get sick either. When I feel fatigued or listless, I up my dosage b/c it’s my clue that I have inflammation.
What form of magnesium do you use and how much of it do you take? Thanks.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos.. I respect this man immensely. 🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻
This just reminded me of something about Vitamind D ! This book called “The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark”. My health shifted in a whole new way.
I just found it!
Thanks for sharing that
Six years ago, I was diagnosed with psoriasis, and four years ago, I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Before I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, I couldn’t walk or stand. My ankles were so weak I couldn’t stand on uneven ground. My rheumatologist checked my vitamin D and it was at 14. Almost gone. My doctor put me on 5000iu a day and within months, I was strong again. I never knew what low vitamin D could cause. My regular doctor never checked my vitamin and mineral levels and if he had, I wouldn’t had gone through the pain and suffering.
