And before you all go out and click on his link, consider the source.... Inverted Reality?,... that about sums it all up. LOL!
But let us entertain his position for a minute,... just for our amusement. "D3 is Rat Poison" So is baking soda... Oh No!... Also chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, avocados, onions, garlic, blue cheese, licorice and citrus fruits,.... are all poisonous to rats. Oh Dear,... look at all that rat poison we’re ingesting! LOL!
D2 is usually synthetic and made in a lab. Most D3 is natural. Mostly comes from sheep’s wool (Lanolin). They also get it from lichen. But this veg based source is way more expensive in comparison to the dirt cheap animal source.
Supplement manufactures by law, must be accurate on their Supplemental Facts Label. So make sure it states lanolin or lichen on that label….
These are just examples of what to look for on labels. This way you know they are not synthetic.
What they did to Ivermectin, they have been doing to vitamin D for decades. They can't have people running around healthy, it's bad for business.
In recent years leading up to the pandemic, Ivermectin was being hailed as a potential therapeutic for cancer. It went from showing great promise against one of the leading causes of death, to becoming a dangerous horse dewormer. LOL!
My fuse is short when confronting ridiculous attacks on essential nutrients, solely in an attempt to mislead. It's possible they might have a job for you at the FDA or CDC. LOL!
You might want to consider changing your moniker. It's a dead giveaway of your insidious intentions.
Next time, try using an argument that hasn't been thoroughly debunked tens of thousands of times over. I'm sorry, but at this point it is laughable.
I have to discourage this kind of crap, because there are many of you out there trying to mislead and deceive. And I don't take kindly to that. It's harmful.
As mentioned in the article, the goal should be blood levels of 50 ng/ml. Cause that is what people have who get plenty of sun. i.e.. lifeguards, hunter gatherers and such. Anywhere between 4,000 and 7,000 IU's per day should safely put you in that neighborhood. Depending on how deficient you are, your weight, age, any chronic illnesses etc... The D3 molecule gets used up by the body only once. There is no recycling. So if you're sick, or overweight more will be used up and need to be replenished. The body can store D3 for some time in reserve, but once it is called upon, it is done. Which is why most people entering hospitals, are depleted of D3. Because their levels weren't optimal in the first place, and their illness reducing levels even further, most patients are very deficient.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve been taking D3/K2 for 3 yrs now & get plenty of sun. My D3 level is good. I was actually looking for a recommended dosage for magnesium. Appreciate the info.
Oh Geez, sorry about that. They say 320 mg per day for females (400 males). I find that too much for me. I get leg cramps in bed if I take that much,.. or with taking too little. Mg and calcium are associated minerals. Their ions pumping in and out of muscle fibers is what makes them contract and expand. You should take what you feel is best for you. Experiment. I have found a somewhat sweet spot with 200 mg, around 3x a week. You have to consider what you also get from food. There is no shortage of calcium in the food supply, so it is likely, there is an imbalance that needs to be corrected by taking some amount of Mg. Magnesium is a regulator of calcium and that is important with D3 increasing calcium absorption.
Since covid, I've read several books on D3 and now take quite a lot. (along with k2 and mg). My last blood test at Labcorp was over 100. I've been taking calcefediol because I wanted to raise my level quickly to see if it would help my newly diagnosed glaucoma. (read a book by a German doctor that claimed levels over 130 would treat glaucoma very easily). But I've been disappointed to find that I still get at least one cold a year. Just had one in May, maybe (or maybe not) coincidentally after a long plane flight. And a year ago my son, on returning from Sri Lanka where he spent the winter in the sun surfing, got some illness, never diagnosed, that landed him in the hospital with a high fever. While there, they checked his D level and it was about 70-80. (I forget the exact number). Does this surprise you? It surprised me because I thought I would never have a cold again....LOL.
Not really. Before I started taking nutrients, I caught colds frequently working with the public. And they were never 3 days coming, 3 days going. I don't know how they ever came up with that saying, because for me,... it was weeks of debilitating symptoms. The persistent coughing even longer being I was a smoker. But in the last ten years since supplementing, even if I catch something, which is very rare as I explained in the article, I hardly even recognize it. As it is nothing like what I used to suffer from. A few sniffles and that's it.
Which is why it has shocked me I caught COVID 3 times. But then this was a bioweapon created in a lab to infect as many people as possible, so... I am a high risk individual and breezed through the infections. Still, the brain fog and headaches weren't fun. I never get headaches, so I knew it was COVID.
If we catch something now, it's likely COVID, being it's endemic in our everyday lives. Read what Professor Dalgleish has experienced with vitamin D. You might find it interesting... https://ohbaby.substack.com/p/cancer-and-boosters
Thanks for your response. I believe in the value of D and will continue taking it forever, but it honestly hasn't changed the frequency or severity of my getting a cold or flu. I was a teacher for 35 years and only got the "flu" two or three times and never missed more than two days each time.
At your age, it's likely not the only nutrient you were lacking. CoQ10 greatly enhances immune function. The elderly don't produce much of it anymore. Same goes for Glutathione your most powerful alley. NAC is a precursor of Glutathione and shown to boost its stores. You also might be short of Zinc and Iodine as well being older. All are necessary for strong immunity.
Centenarians, those aged 100 years or older, are considered the most successful biological aging model in humans. Read my last post/link for their secret to healthy aging.
Before you all go out running to buy D3 supplements (or any synthetic vitamin for that matter), read this article about Vitamin D3;

Again a personal insult. Have a nice day, I know enough.

There is no doubt D3 is necessary for proper immune function. But it's not the only nutrient our immunity relies on... https://ohbaby.substack.com/p/about-the-new-outbreak-in-china
Optimal immunity is not a Star Trek deflector shield. We will get infected, but our immunity will protect us from becoming seriously ill.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again. I have avoided antibiotics, never get flu or other shots (no covid shot) and avoid doctors. I do take iodine and sometimes zinc.
