Historically, humans were exposed to daily, intense, unfiltered sunlight without any sunscreen. We’ve been convinced that the sun is dangerous and that taking too much vitamin D is risky.
Vitamin D is not really a vitamin! You cannot get nearly enough vitamin D from food. When you’re exposed to the sun, your skin makes vitamin D with the help of cholesterol. Vitamin D acts like a hormone and turns on over 1000 different genes!
There are two systems of vitamin D. The first system supports bone and calcium regulation, and requires the liver and kidneys for conversion into its active form. The autocrine or paracrine system is rarely talked about. Through this second system, inactive vitamin D bypasses the kidneys and liver and is converted into its active form inside the cell. This system of vitamin D supports the immune system, brain, muscles, nervous system, breast tissue, colon, and prostate. This system needs 8000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D every day, while the other system only requires 600 to 800 IU every 3 weeks.
Vitamin D can significantly reduce cancer risk, posing a threat to the cancer drug industry, which makes over 300 billion dollars in revenue each year. Similarly, the Coimbra protocol is very effective at reversing autoimmune disease, which attacks another multi-billion-dollar industry. Vitamin D has also been shown to be beneficial for diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression.
Vitamin D toxicity is rare and would require extremely high doses of vitamin D taken for many months. The main problem associated with vitamin D toxicity is too much calcium in the blood, which can lead to kidney stones.
Vitamin D deficiency is incredibly common and can lead to immune suppression, decreased cognitive function, increased risk of cancer, and more. Vitamin D research often ignores the important cofactors magnesium and vitamin K2, which protect you from excess calcium accumulation.

Put it in drive Trump & Mr. Cracked plate from China.
The fact you are still promoting “supplements” when humans should be able to get their necessary vitamins from diet alone just like other animals decreases your credibility. Why do you still do this?
What is 10000 IU in MG?
Already getting them😊
@Iolo3Name one person who has a diet that provides consistent levels of the vitamin D he suggest are necessary? Enquiring minds want to know.
They hate it because it stops them profiting from people’s illnesses they create. “A cured patient is a customer lost”.
I just started seeing Dr. Berg videos this year. So the message is costly to big pharma too.
Now that we know just how corrupt the Medical Industrial Complex is, the reason is crystal clear. A healthy human is a customer lost.
People can’t be healthy all the time, so they will not lose customers permanently.
I agree….put us on forever RX.
That is why the early hospitals would bring patients up on a terrace to get sun every day. That doesn’t happen anymore. They know how vitamin D works. They just want us to take their pills
Pills are measurable, that’s why they started that type of treatment. Even my GP complained that not every plant has the same amount of nutrients as it’s neighbor. That’s why they use pills, so they KNOW what the patient is getting. They didn’t take to account that not every pill is created equal and the MD’s one Semester of nutrition is seriously inadequate for their needs as a physician.
There’s no hidden agenda. Dr Berg gives free, priceless information. Thank you. Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏
He literally sells his own line of supplements 😂
Is that enough of an agenda bernadette? 🤣
@alteredstateskustomgood
@alteredstateskustomGo find out what the word “hidden” means then come back and explain it to us kid.
I’m happy to share videos that can help you all.
@alteredstateskustom meanwhile the doctor charges you thousands. Not funny dude.
Big pharma doesn’t profit from healthy people.
Yep, profit over people…
A patient cured is a customer lost.
As the old adage goes. .

– Suzy Kassem
True. They need sick people to profit and politicians like President Trump and his helper “doctor” Anthony Fauxi have helped them profit immensely.
I believe it is even more sinister than that…
What is eugenics?
They need more sick people for more profits 📈💊💸💰🤑
Time for a reset.
Its amazing, I started taking d3, magnesium, and k2 in 2021 at 10,000-20,000 iu because I was deficient at only 25 (dont remember the units, mg/l maybe?). Now, in 2026 im at 77 (mg/l?) Which is in the “good” range of 40-100. According to “BIG SCIENCE!” I should have all kinds of problems. Instead, all my normal problems are gone or significantly reduced and I rarely get ill or have sinus issues anymore. Even when I do get ill, its 1-2 days of sniffles now when I used to spend 2-3 days in bed, followed by 2-3 days at 50-60%. Im 47 and healthier than ever.
Thank you for your contributions Dr. Berg.
Yep, I have been on 10,000 iu D3, K2, and Magnesium since I had the Swine Flu in 2009. Did my research then and have never been sick since, not even a sniffle. I was around hundreds of people sick with Covid and never once had a sniffle.
Yes!!! I stopped using sunscreen, wearing sunglasses and take high doses of Vitamin D.
Not a good idea you were going to age faster in your face sunscreen important especially if were you live in country that have a high uv index just take the sunlight from your body even if you were naked even better 😂❤❤
How much Vitamin D, K2 and Magnesium do you take, I assume daily?
@mazenalsaadiiiHow many islanders younger than 80 and on their traditional diets do you see with wrinkles? It’s not the sun that causes aging, it’s the lack of nutrients, plus some genetics.
@l@lau5067 i take 5000 unit from d3 and 120 k2 the magnisume you should thake at least 400mg if you are a man for women 300mg all best ❤
Yeah man you’re right nutrition and the genetic play significant but you can’t ignore that the sun’s rays can cause harm, especially prolonged exposure or during times when the sun’s rays are so intense
I am a pharmacist and just did a longevity CE for my license. The amounts of vit D recommended was 600 and 800 units of vit D. Absolutely incredible how ignorant the medical community is.
they are not ignorant,,,they know high amounts will affect their profits
My husband fears he has cancer and does not take sufficient amount of D-vitamin, as he says the cancer feeds on the vitamin.
hey so i just bough vitamin d3 and k2 mk47 supplement it has 600ui of vitamin d3 and 55mg of vitamin k2 for daily use is it fine? i know i should be taking this daily but what about my other parts of the body that needs it like doctor mentioned u need atleast 8000-10,000 ui of vitamin d3 what steps should i take? can you kindly reply me i’m just 19 year old so im complete newbie
I’m a pharmacist too. So much of conventional medicine is wrong and the opposite is true… eat low fat (wrong), avoid sun (wrong), limit red meat (wrong), eat lots of whole grains (wrong).
…. slowly people are turning to functional medicine practitioners like Dr Berg
@TheCentralScrutinizer99unfortunately that is what big pharma thinks and it’s so detrimental to people’s health
The world needs more people like you, thank you sir🤴
I’m happy to share videos that can help you all.
I was coming down with respiratory illnesses every month, and had inflammation in my ankle that wouldn’t go away. Painkillers were masking it.
Since watching your videos last year, I started taking 8000iu vitamin d, and magnesium everyday.
I’ve had no more sickness, my inflammation in my ankle has gone, and I feel more upbeat and happy.
It’s the only change I made, so thank you Dr Berg!! 😊
Wow! Thank you for mentioning your ankle. That is my problem, I will try your method.
Keep in mind there are Many More Beneficial minerals & vitamins he teaches us about. 😉
I had chronic back pain and my hands ached from what I thought was “arthritis” I started taking large doses of vitamin D, 20 to 50,000 IU daily along with magnesium (about 5 years ago) My back pain went away, my hand pain went away. I thought I was “Old”, but it turned out that I was just vitamin D deficient. Now I feel better than I ever have in my life.
I told myself that I will not sit in a wheelchair for any reason only in the hospital etc. My health was very bad I couldn’t hardly walk without a walker or 2 walking cane. This started after heart surgery 1998 and last until 2021 my legs were swallow, others health problems with my legs, ankle and feet especially gout pain. Later on sciatica came along from sitting, blood clots. But after finding Dr Eric Berg YouTube channel I focused on the weight problem first because I was right about 410lbs to 450 lbs in about 5 to 6 weeks my legs were feeling good from doing keto diet but I wasn’t doing the fasting right because I was drinking tea with stevia and lemon water also. Long story short keto fasting diet got me down 208 lbs and I am walking, my health is very good and beautiful I’ve do sometimes get up to get the morning sunshine and a good tear in my eyes feeling very blessed by God for everything
What a great testimony! Thank you for sharing.
We can’t have stevia or lemon on keto? That was an amazing turn around.
Way to own your ‘self!’ SO happy for your results, for your WIN!
God Bless you 🙏
This is an amazing story, thanks, it is very inspirational to all!
Conventional Media and Big Pharma walk hand in hand…
Basically they are saying if too much vitamine d is toxic ..then more than 20 mins in the sun is toxic. …what a bunch of loonies ! ..i spend everyday out in the sun when we actually have it. I have never used sunscreen and never had a sunburn. ..just be smart and start getting spring sun and your skin will climatize to it. .all winter i have body aches. All summer i feel like superman. . The more sun i get the stronger i feel …love your work doc !👍
No wonder I rarely see a sportsman wearing glasses even after they retire.
Had my labs done last week. Vitamin d was at 97. My doctor immediately told me to stop taking vitamin D3. I go as my calcium normal he goes yes. I go them why should I stop taking it? These doctors just do whatever the paperwork tells him to do. No explanation no understanding of anything.
Yeah and they hate it when you question them. I don’t even have a family Dr anymore. They are nothing but useless middle-men. I just go straight to a specialist if a have a real problem..
VITAMIN D3 SAVED MY LIFE…..
I WAS SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE D3 DEFICIENCY 25 YEARS AGO AND DID NOT KNOW IT. I BECAME SEVERELY DISABLED…..APPROVED FOR DISABILITY….20 YEARS.
I WAS 39 YEARS OLD.
I LOST MY PRODUCTIVE WORKING YEARS.
ONCE INFO CAME OUT IN THE NEWS, I HAD MY INTERNIST TEST MY D3 LEVEL……IT WAS 10.
IMMEDIATELY MY PHYSICIAN RX 50,000 IU PER DAY UNTIL MY LEVEL INCREASED.
I HAD A 75% IMPROVEMENT TO MY HEALTH.
HALLELUJAH FOR VITAMIN D3 ! ! !
I RETURNED TO PART TIME WORK
AND HELPED MYSELF WHILE RAISING MY TWO CHILDREN.
What should our vitamin D level be at just so I know next time I have blood work done? I was told 10,000iu is too much…my dr wants me taking 2000iu. 🤔
Last year I found out I was extremely low on vitamin D. My metabolism was slow, I had skin issues (another sign of autoimune disease), got sick often, was constantly fatigued, suffered from awful muscle aches after exercises. All of those problems went away once I started taking 20K UI of vitamin D3 daily with vitamin K2, magnesium glycinate and zinc. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
I feel so much better and I’m finally able to exercise without the dread of feeling pain for days after my training session.
The “health” industry doesn’t profit from healthy and aware people. They need uninformed and sick people to thrive. We need more doctors like you and Dr. Coimbra.
PS: greetings from Brazil 🙂
As a doctor, The Lost Secret of Healing is easily one of the most powerful health books I’ve ever read. Nothing comes close.
love it, great book
