49:30 Final thoughts

Please join me in welcoming Professor Bruce Hollis! Professor Hollis’ research has provided a new understanding of the importance of vitamin D and its full range of functions.

Vitamin D has been understood as an essential nutrient for skeletal integrity and maintaining blood calcium levels. As microbiology and research developed, researchers found that many cells that had nothing to do with the skeleton could respond to vitamin D, including cancer and immune cells.

Vitamin D exists in different forms inside the body. When you take a supplement or sunlight hits your skin, you’re dealing with the inactive form of vitamin D. It is then turned into a compound called 25-hydroxy vitamin D, the intermediate form of vitamin D that stays in the blood for weeks. This form is picked up in blood tests but isn’t easily accessible by the tissues that might need it.

The final form of vitamin D is one of the most potent hormones, 125 di-hydroxy vitamin D. Vitamin D is converted into the active form in the kidney but can also be converted inside the cells.

The vast majority of studies substantiating our information on vitamin D in the U.S. have several problems and have produced inaccurate results. There is also no agreed-upon range on “normal” vitamin D levels—or what levels are considered a vitamin D deficiency.

Professor Hollis has conducted research and has seen significant results using vitamin D to prevent birth complications in women in Iran, in patients with low-grade prostate cancer, and in lactation. He also explains the importance of magnesium, a key cofactor for vitamin D metabolism.

Professor Hollis wants people to understand that few physicians recommend or acknowledge the benefits of vitamin D because national organizations have yet to properly understand and recognize them.

Still i have so much weakness…..this video ll be helpful for me. Thank u so much Dr. Berg….you are doing great service to this society.

      They’re right I’m on 50ius (once a week) from my doctor. The other doctor just told me ensure you take vitamin D with food as well! I also take magnesium, potassium & zinc (not at the sametime)! Also vitamin k & b2 (boron)is important when taking d. My rare brain disease just came back on my testing last week as completely gone and all I’ve taken is what I just named & berberine! My optical nerves were extremely swollen before and they were talking about brain surgery!!!

    Brought Vit D – K2 and Omega 3 today. (K2 due to a Dr Berg vlog)Ran out of D a month ago but have seen many podcasts etc on how important it is to the human body. Realized how I’ve been so depressed of late, even to the point of not going outdoors for 2-3 days as it’s been so cold & I’ve no motivation. Also watched a Liz Earle podcast talking to a Dr who stated it’s also important as Vit D depletion can be related to the onset of dementia. Thanx for this discussion as well.

    I was keto for 5 years and the last year, I am mostly meat based. Probably 90% carnivore, and absolutely no seed oils. I have some green beans, onion, peppers, a little tomato, spaghetti squash once in a while. My vitamin d came back at 115 or so and my doc told me to quit taking vitamin D. I am like I don’t take vitamin D. So he told me to quit taking cod liver oil because it had vitamin D. I did and my next reading came back at 121. I guess it is just naturally high. I have noticed I am around sick people coughing up a lung at work all the time, and I rarely catch any thing. If I do, it is just a little sniffle for a day or two, and I don’t even need any meds. Plus I lost 200 lbs, I am no longer diabetic. I was severely diabetic before. On over 300 units of insulin a day with A1C’s in the 14’s. My knees have healed, my diabetic leg ulcers have gone away. And many other things.

    Suffered with severe asthma and allergies for the first 38 years of my life until I read “the optimal dose” and tried 30,000 IU d3 + 300mcg k2 mk7 daily. After a few months I was off all my asthma and allergy meds. 2 years later I’ve dropped to 20,000iu d3 daily and would say I’m completely cured.

    For the first time in my life I’m completely cured from the severe asthma and allergies that crippled me my entire life.

  6. @jasonbusch3624 on July 14, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    I have taken 30,000iu for years. I have not been sick in years. Last winter I dropped back to 10,000iu because the doctor said my level was slightly high and didn’t want me to take any. No way I wasn’t taking any. I was sick from the end of October until mid January. I was sick setting on the couch trying to figure out what could be causing it and how I could change things. I remembered I lowered my Vitamin D. I started taking the 30,000iu again and was better in 3 days. I had previously taken 20,000iu a day for many years and felt a difference going to 30,000iu a day so I stuck with it. It is now 7 months later and I still feel great and have not been sick 1 time.

      Please make sure your taking vitamin K with it. High dosage D increases calcium asorption and it can get into tissues and arteries without proper vit K to direct it. Magnesium is also depleted.

    I take 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily, but what I noticed was that if I take a softgel capsule (oil based vitamin D3) it gets better absorbed into my body than if I take dry vitamin D3 (powder capsule). Even when taking olive oil with both forms for better absorption. I’ll stick to the softgels.

Back then they may not know about, VD or K2 but at least they knew something.

      Actually, they knew more than the people who think that oral intake of “vitamin D” is necessarily the equivalent of letting your skin do the job of converting 7-dehydrocholesterol (a cholesterol derivative) to cholecalciferol (AKA “vitamin D3”) and releasing it directly into the bloodstream.
