What if everything you’ve been told about “vitamin D” is wrong? What if “taking” a D supplement is actually harmful to your health? (Despite short-term improvement of symptoms, due to it being a steroid?) If you really reflect on this discussion, rather than dismiss it, you may end up reconsidering all isolated, synthetic nutrients. But today, let’s just take on supplemental “vitamin D3.”
Vit d supplements saved me when I have a scratchy throat or colds. Its positive effect is undeniable. I feel it hours later. This sounds like pseudoscience. You could’ve at least provided some science that backs these claims.
Do you realize that Lyme and Epstein Barr, and all of the other "diagnoses" are just putting labels on symptoms and there is no evidence that any pathogen is at work here. These are just symptoms of toxicity that have a label so there can be a LOT of money made from treating these poor unsuspecting people, and in the process, usually creating even more symptoms in time.
Interesting read indeed. Sunshine is king. Taking a whole food supplement of D or any vitamin/mineral which does not contain any synthetics or cholecalciferol is my choice...in the winter months only. Whole food plant based is my preferred diet as the carnivore diet is slowly becoming poisoned by a few undesirables out there...this is an excellent discussion and review.
I hope you are willing to read another Robin’s perspective at vitamindstopscovid.com. The Robin there explains the paracrine and auto tune functions of vitamin D.
Btw the official levels recommended for vitD have not ever changed from 30.
I have high calcium and high parathyroid hormone levels. Scans show no abnormal activity in the parathyroid glands. Dr changed one of my HBP meds to see what happens. Retesting in August. What now?
Interesting perspectives . Have you heard of Dr Stasha Gominak? She is a neurologist who has studied Vit d quite extensively and has an effective program for safely getting your levels up . Certainly helped me https://drgominak.com/
Thank you for being a brave truth warrior. I 100% agree. As much as I appreciate Dr. Mercola, the first time I heard him say that even he- who is outside in Florida in only shorts all day- was low on Vit. D I knew the whole story was wrong.
I read your piece on Vitamin D. You need to get your facts straight before causing harm to those who do need Vitamin D supplements. You are practicing medicine without a license and will be reported. Vitamin D3 is essential to one’s health and because of all the lotions with PABA ( sunscreen)- and clothing that does not breathe, D3 levels are extremely low in more humans which requires supplementation. However , taking D3 without K 2 can harm one. The reason being D3 without K2 causes calcium to leach out of the bones into the arteries. So young lady, get your facts straight and stop practicing medicine without a license and stop harming people who actually do feel less pain, more energy , and wellbeing from supplement of D3 with K2. The levels do need to be checked because supplements need to be discontinued when levels get above 50. The prescription D 3 is dangerous but not trusted over the counter brands that include K2!
I don’t think anyone reading this post questions Robyn. More likely we are questioning how all the other ‘alternative’ practices, the naturopaths, holistic, functional, etc we also rely on for our staying healthy advice, could NOT know this???
And therefore, this throws all other advice into question.
But clearly food before supplementation is always a gods approach.
Interestingly my mainstream Obgyn who lost a brother in law to covid (before mainstream vaxx) said he is very doubtful about the vit d connection and said it is mainly hype. I’m a big believer in sunshine and have to constantly battle the spf crowd. Dropping my d3 / k2 supplement now. Thoughts on K2 for hashimoto patient with iodine supplementation?
Please comment on the data that we were told during the scandemic that most of the people that got sick and died from Covid were ones that had low levels of Vitamin D and that virtually no-one died who had a "normal" Vit D level. The "disinformation dozen" as the MSM calls them were constantly preaching about the benefit of Vitamin D in the fight against Covid. What does all that mean??? We are constantly getting mixed messages on health issues. It is very hard to know who to believe.
Good article that rings true. If there's big money to be made, I'm very sceptical, e.g big pHarma.

What evidence do you have for promoting a plant based diet? Most plants are shown to be very toxic.
Also what do you mean by 'immune system'? There is no such thing.

So it can cause osteoporosis??
High vit D consumption?
Now how do I fight bone loss!
How do you know you have bone loss?
Sunshine and weight bearing exercise. In other words, healthy natural living.

Sooo much misinformation going on here. Must be fun to formulate an opinion and then decide it’s a fact.

It's you that needs to get the facts straight. You have been indoctrinated.

This doctor explains why taking Vitamin D3/K2 is NOT toxic to humans.
