Thank You to Dr. Grimes for such a clear presentation. I note that even though this lecture was presented eleven years ago, there are still millions of people to this very day ( in 2002) who still need to hear this message.
Vitamin D needs Co-Factors to work properly in the body. Taking it in isolation may push calcium right up. Vitamin K2, Magnesium & Boron are important to support D absorption & utilisation & calcium orchestration.
Jammybullfrog -- what about Calcium magnesium zinc /w D3?
Take a multi-vitamin and keep your Vitamin D levels 30-60 ng/ml...you should be fine.
In Dr. Grimes lecture he took note that with the High Vit D 20,000 IU/week for three months, he did not see Calcium rise. (in the lecture) Yes, maybe with LONG term inputs K2 is necessary. Of course Mag is always important (everyone is low), and most need K2. I take all of these, including boron : ) But for MD's let's not scare the crowd, let them know D IS GOOD!!
Jammybullfrog: Thank you for this comment-I am currently suffering from hypercalcemia and didn’t know what to consider next. I started with upping magnesium citrate, but the synergy issue wasn’t discussed in the four videos I’ve watched so far. I can’t tell you how valuable the comment sections are all over the internet. A minute of your time will make a big difference for me in studying the cofactor perspective now. Big thanks, as I feel like I have rocks in my kidneys, and the brain fog makes me feel like I’m having to drive my own ambulance. Sometimes the drs just don’t help, in fact, 15 years ago, this happened after a dr told me, “You can’t overdose on a vit D3 supplement.” I showed her mine on the spot. So I took the dose recommended at the time (in 2007), 2-12,000 IU. That be was a mistake. They told me later that I had permanent damage and that it was irreversible. I had to find my own way to detox, and it took a year. This Vit D3 issue is a huge problem to me. Your input helps a lot.
@@mboiko wrong.. aim higher. Between 60-80 is the optimal range.. that’s the sweet spot you wanna be aiming for
Wonderful information. Definitely hope that additional information regarding the role of diet has been given since this video. Gluten, and grains in general, and pasteurized dairy are extremely damaging to the digestive system and therefore to the entire body. The digestive system is the center of health. Grains, pasteurized dairy, sugar, artificial ingredients including sweeteners, genetically modified organisms, meats from animals which haven't been raised as God intended, fish from contaminated waters chemically treated produce and water, processed foods, etc., all damage the body's ability to heal, absorb nutrients, and to thrive. Definitely sunshine and moderate exercise is important. Other nutrients to absorb Vitamin D, specifically D3, are important such as K2 mk7, as well. Sadly, many in the standard medical community worldwide continue to fail to focus on the digestive system as priority, the gut microbiome. Stressing to mothers how crucial it is to nurse their babies is of utmost importance fof the entire life of the baby. Reaerving C-sections as the last resort because the vaginal birth is so beneficial for the baby's microbiome for life. Mother's diet also is crucial for the baby while pregnant and nursing as well as for the mother. Horrid formulas destroy the baby's gut and health. Vaccines are completely unnecessary and greatly harm the body's immune system and toxify the entire body including the brain even resulting in death. To think anyone dares to add to an infant such disgusting toxins is completely inexcusable, or to anyone of any age. At some point, we absolutely must return to the benefits of properly fermenting foods grown correctly, not mass agriculture treated with chemicals grown in depleted overused soils. A Functional Medicine approach instead of a pharmacological approach is crucial and can even be part of emergency medicine, a portion of which could have been avoided completely had there been the correct approach taken prior to such emergency situations. I do agree with considering the entire body in the picture, including genetics and even whether or not someone sleeps next to or near a person who snores...a question never or extremely rarely even asked. Frequency of consumption of foods matters greatly, especially with consumption without digestive rest for a while between consumption. That's absolutely crucial. Over exercise is extremely damaging due to oxidative stress. Distance runners especially are oftentimes at greater risk. So many issues with the standard conventional pharmacological approach encouraged as the priority in MEDical schools, certainly at least in part if not completely due to the funding and leadership from the pharmaceutical industry. At least this video does address nutrients and sunshine as being an important focus to health. Thank you for posting this one.
Laura are you qualified ? Really interesting reply. Here in 2021 Dr Grimes knowledge is still ignored.
What an absolutely amazing insightful comment. Thank you.
Dr. Grimes thank you for the presentation, excellent information.
Excellent lecture David - best of British!
Ivor Cummins --AMEN!!!! Brilliant!!!!
And Ivor, I'm so glad you are on to vitamin D as an important health factor as part of your crusade to prevent heart disease. and with the help of your movie Extra Time Movie which I have seen and which I recommend. Get your calcium CAC score everybody.
Powerful presentation. Thank you so much
Thank you both so much for this important information
Thank you for posting this - extremely valuable also for a layperson like me.
Excellent. It is deeply lamentable that the medical profession is, almost always, so uninformed about such an important subject - the more so because the remedy is so simple, and inexpensive. D3 high potency drops, 2500iu per 0.5ml are available on amazon. Overdosing on D3 is really quite difficult to do, unless one is rather silly. From what I have read, 5000iu per day is likely to be an entirely safe maximum upper limit for most of us.
john schlesinger -- yes, I would have concurred, until my doctor put me on 25,000 IU /QD (My last levels were 34)
@@jinimurray4090 Am curious who your doc is, quite enlightened . . . (am in US, NW portion)
Tremendous and much needed. Thank you.
Excellent lecture!
Dr. David Grimes, I so appreciate you & your talk today. I come from Manchester (Chadderton/Oldham) trained Crumpsall /Rochdale/St. Mary’s. Would have loved to met you wile there. NOTHING was taught about nutrition during my time there. So wonderful to know doors are opening for GODS HEALING through all He has provided, including Vit D! Please tell me what the new normal level Vit D is today. There are different schools of thought here (Arizona); some say 40 Others say 80-90. Thank you so much & GOD BLESS YOU.
FANTASTIC.
Dr. Grimes was ahead of his time on this subject. I have kept my vitamin D level very high by current standards, for the last 10+ years. I am 76 years old now with no pain and healthier than ever. Three important cofactors for higher doses of vitamin D3 are magnesium glycinate, Vitamin K2, and omega 3 fish or krill oil.
Very useful. Thank you!
I love it. Thanks a lot.
As Ivor said: WELL DONE!
Amazed that Michael Holick was in attendance!
Interesting information on the Sunshine Clinics and the fact that King George V was cured using UV light in 1923.
Great presentation. You mentioned that Vit. D injection WAS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE? I was just wondering what the solution base for the injection was ? Water or Fat? I ask this question because like B12 it was mentioned I think either in Germany or Russia that when the injection base was water it was eliminated faster than when it was fat/oil base. Please what is your position?
Amazing that two doctors have discouraged me from….taking VitaminD3…….One even becoming belligerent when I pointed out that studies show that large portions of the population are deficient….adults below the level that caused rickets in children……anyone have a similar experience…?
get a new doctor asap
@@Icewing10 Agreed. Doctors where I live in the US do not seem to have had even an introductory nutrition class, much less any independent learning about this basic aspect of health.
How much sunlight do I need and at what time of the day? I live in South East Asia.
Carpal Tunnel Gadgets -- good question (I’m Not answering, but I heard you cannot overdose on D from sunshine.
The good practice is: your shadow in the sun must be smaller than your body.
Carpal Tunnel Gadgets in the uk between 10 am - 3pm.....around 30 minutes will do I believe.
Skin Pigmentation, skin products, BMI, Age, other medical factors possibly? A general rule, half the level of sun exposure, before a redness/burning feeling develops.
15min no sun screens around -25.000iu kzhead.info/sun/dZ2MfsqqfGmGZKs/bejne.html
There's vegan vitamin D3 extracted from lichens widely and cheaply available in vegetarian capsules.
Quantum Chang -- is this VIT D2 - vegetable form? Or D3 ?
@@jinimurray4090 The vegan vitamin D extracted from lichens are in the form of D3, identical to the form biosynthesized on your own sun-exposed skin. The D2 form is extracted from mushrooms, not lichens. Both sources are suitable for vegan.
Does he ever mention what his approach has been with people who suffer from many VDR mutations?
SO WHAT??
VDR gene
50000 units a day for me
j j -- ? You mean you take 50,000 IU /D3 daily?
You’re poisoning yourself! It’s an immune suppressant!
@@randont our bodies have vitamin d receptors for a reason. My cells are energised and ready for work
@@randont What is your evidence?
@@randont it’s an immune modulator, not suppressant. I can see how one would confuse the two, but the distinction is important.
It's hardly 'dangerous' to be a vegetarian in the North of England: just dangerous to have a doctor who doesn't know that there are vegan sources of vitamin D3.
Dinar AndFriends vegan or vegetarian sources?
That is correct, it is dangerous to be a vegetarian anywhere.
