Please explain to your remaining devoted acolytes the EXACT difference between the chemical known as cholecalciferol (C27H44O) produced by the human body when UVB stikes the skin (in a HEALTHY person, replete in LDL cholesterol, A, K2, magnesium, etc) and the chemical known as cholecalciferol (C27H44O) produced in a reputable laboratory.

And PLEASE don't say it's got chloroform in it. That's an outrageous lie perpetuated by your buddy Agent131711.

The two are identical.

Please link the studies. And yes I do my own research, but when making the statement that 100s of studies show that D doesn't help, it's up to you to provide the links. Thank you Robyn

Northern climates in winter do suffer more with low D levels. When I sit in the sun my whole mental state changes. The sun truly is a natural supplement for our bodies and our D levels go up depending on how long we sun bathe. I know it's cold but try to sit in front of a window or door and get as much as you can in the winter.

Make sure you do your own research on this one. I would like to see the hundreds of studies that she's talking about.

The guy that put this together has studied vitamin D for 20,000 hours and has compiled thousands and thousands of studies.

I think the benefits of vit D cannot be overstated. The difference in health outcomes for people with different skin pigmentation has way more to do with vit D than anything socioeconomic. I truly feel that this is why “they” pushed so hard for sun screen. A chronically ill population is a goldmine for the medical industrial complex.

So if the oral replacement is toxic, what’s the alternative for those of us who don’t live near the equator? I have a sun wall that I don’t use nearly as much as I should, but it was very expensive and isn’t something most people would have access to. I think for now I’m going to continue to use my supplement, but cod liver oil might be a better source.

I agree completely about the sun block. A couple of years ago I went to the Caribbean for a month during the winter. Never used sun block except the first few days on my face and chest because the sun is so strong. When I got home I had to do bloodwork for my yearly checkup with my hormone doctor. My vitamin D level was off the chart. Getting outside, even in the winter, and exposing as much ofnyour skin as possible, for as long as possible is th best D you'll ever get. Many dark skinned people don't go out in the sun because they don't think they need to get darker and they tend to run low D levels. It's the sun! That's why I believe they're promoting sunscreen and trying to block the sun with this chemtrails spraying. They want us sick or dead. All life forms on earth need the sun to survive.

As a wake up call, anyone above 50 nml vit D DIDN'T go to the hospital with covid. Derp.

When I moved to the NW from the SE my D levels as measured by blood tests dropped noticeably. You literally cannot produce enough D from the sun at those latitudes most of the year.Humans living that far north have survived historically by eating animal fats with high D content, so we need to supplement, one way or another. Broad based claims like this post can be dangerous. I would never fall for expensive supplements, nor would I ignore my need to monitor my dietary intake.

Quite a number of auto immune diseases being reversed with vitamin D also. Particularly multiple sclerosis. https://www.thisisms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28976

I agree! Vitamin D in a capsule form is harmful. However, my immune system had a huge boost when I began following the work of Weston Price and taking cod liver oil and drinking raw milk. The naturally occuring vitamin D is helpful when it's balanced with the fat-soluble vitamins A and K. https://fastwell.substack.com/p/all-my-life-ive-wondered-whats-wrong

Vitamin D in cod liver oil was a valuable cure for rickets in the past. Your article does not apply to people in northern climates where there is virtually no UV light outside for most of the year. You might want to reconsider your conclusion in light of geographic considerations.

Vitamin D works when it's naturally occurring in small amounts and then balanced with vitamins A and K as it is in cod liver oil. But getting it from a capsule doesn't have the same effect.

I think I am going to take up herbalism because it seems just about everything I have ever been told about medicine is a lie.

Thank you. This suggests some specific questions to ask my doctor. 🙂

Who is one who does read studies, but apparently not this kind. 🙄

I did quit taking "D" some time ago, by the way.

Robyn, this is fantastic. I have learned so much from you. I was taking Vitamin D faithfully when my doctor said my levels were low. Then, Dr. Nepute was giving bottles of it away for free during the plandemic. I thought he knew his stuff, so I ordered as many bottles as I could and had taken the D for about a year until I came across the very first article you wrote about it. Ashley Everley also posted many articles about it. That's when I was dumbfounded and really didn't know what to believe. But I do trust you and Ashley, so I stopped taking it.

Then, I found this: https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/vitamin-c-is-mold-corn-syrup-chemicals

This blew my mind even further! I had been under the impression that IV vitamin C can cure cancer. Then I read the above substack and don't know what to think anymore.

I would love to know your thoughts on IV vitamin C and all vitamins for that matter.

Thanks!

I agree with you 100% alongside with the other vitamins. I'm glad you are talking about this topic because the truth continues to be buried underneath the carpet. Our body produces all the vitamins internally. I also took vitamin d once blindly because a Nutritionist told me to but it took a wrong turn. I'm very sensitive to all drugs and vitamins especially vitamin D was the worst. The current holistic practitioners are like the medical doctors they get taught lies and not the truth to serve a purpose to make people dependent on the system and make them sick. Let's continue to bring the truth to the surface.

Your body only produces vitamin D when your skin is exposed to the sun. Your body also cannot produce vitamin C, hence the need for supplementation.

Vitamin D is a generic term, isn't it, like vitamin B?

There is more than one specific molecule (I often see D2 and D3 mentioned) but the article makes no distinction. I also wonder if the studies quoted make any distinction.

It is not helpful to try to discredit one thing by showing that something different is ineffective.

I do accept that blood level is not the whole story because the substance might be stored elsewhere in the body and anyway trying to change that level by extrinsic means might just be like throwing a spanner in the works.

"Also, a large study showed that having D measured in the blood considered to be “low,” has no impact on health outcomes".

There was also the German study that showed that no-one with a high vitamin D level, succumbed to "covid" and ended up on the autopsy table.

The reason I’ve been taking a Vit D supplement is to raise my levels because I get seasonal depression. Do you have an alternative supplement or product that does a good job of raising Vit D levels?

There are hundreds of studies concerning Vitamin D use with depression. You should look at them. https://vitamindwiki.com/Depression

Unfortunately I’ve lived in the northern US most of my life and going outside and sun aren’t great options in the winter.
