Supplements
Without calcium supplementation, even very high vitamin D3 supplementation does not cause vascular calcification
Vitamin D3 supplementation in the range of 4000 to 10,000 units (100 to 250 µg) needed to generate an optimal 40–60 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)
has been shown to be completely safe when combined with approximately 200 µg vitamin K2

However, this knowledge is still not widespread in the medical community, and obsolete warnings about the risks of vitamin D3 overdoses unfortunately are still commonly circulating.
ARDS and cytokine release syndrome
Vitamin D3 is able to inhibit the underlying metabolic pathways
Vitamin D3 has a protective role against ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2.
A rapidly increasing number of publications are investigating the vitamin D3 status of SARS-CoV-2 patients,
and have confirmed low vitamin D levels in cases of severe courses of infection
and positive results of vitamin D3 treatments
Conclusions
we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L)
to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity.
At a time when vaccination was not yet available,
patients with sufficiently high D3 serum levels preceding the infection were highly unlikely to suffer a fatal outcome.
This correlation should have been good news when vaccination was not available but instead was widely ignored.
the lower threshold for healthy vitamin D levels should lie at approximately 125 nmol/L or 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3,
which would save most lives, reducing the impact even for patients with various comorbidities.
This is—to our knowledge—the first study that aimed to determine an optimum D3 level to minimize COVID-19 mortality
Implications for herd immunity
It seems clear that a good immune defense,
does not prove protection against physical infection
but rather against its consequences
This “protection” was most effective at ~55 ng/mL
Traditionally living populations in East Africa have a mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration of 115 nmol/l
www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of…
natural vitamin D3 levels seen among traditional hunter/gatherer lifestyles,
in a highly infectious environment,
were 110–125 nmol/L (45–50 ng/mL)
WHO advice may not be correct
30 ng/mL D3 value considered by the WHO as the threshold for sufficiency
Future mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, vaccine immune escape
the entire population should raise their serum vitamin D level to a safe level as soon as possible.
As long as enough vitamin K2 is provided, the suggested D3 levels are entirely safe to achieve by supplementation.
Selenium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins A and E should also be controlled for and supplemented where necessary to optimize the conditions for a well-functioning immune system.
Next study
test PCR-positive contacts of an infected person for D3 levels immediately, i.e.,
before the onset of any symptoms,
and then follow them for 4 weeks and relate the course of their symptomatology to the D3 level,
the same result as shown above must be obtained

I have Ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease) that have been active for over 10 year. From covid-19 info on YouTube I got information about vitamin D. I went to the doctor and measure vitamin D level, and I had a low level. Then I started one year ago to take vitamin D every day. After a couple of weeks I started to get better. After a couple of month the disease disappear (is inactive) .

Not only is Dr. John Campbell a great source of objective information, I also find his videos oddly calming in these times of constant misinformation. I'm grateful we have him.

I am an advanced practice nurse in the US. I wish this man had been my lecturer in nursing school. Amazing!
-
I am not a physician but I am a statistics and research geek. This is TOP SHELF information! Thanks Doc!

8 years ago i suffered from severe Depression but doctors were laughing at me when i said i want to get my vitD levels measured. My Level was at 6ng/ml ! They stopt laughing when the saw the numbers. I started taking high doses and my Depression vanished rapidly. Thank you Internet!
-
I have closely followed your video and I would like to congratulate you on such a good job. Very good documentation and great awareness work, as well as exposing the health authorities for not implementing a simple routine vitamin D analysis. Just great.
-
The fact that vitamin D supplementation isn't being pushed by the government just makes me very cynical and makes me think that they don't actually care about peoples health
-
I am 86 years of age and take 12,000 IU a day of vitamin D3 and one K2 per 6000 IU of D3 at this time of year. I increase my D3 in winter to 18.000 IU a day. I can't remember the last time I had a cold or felt ill at all! I don't understand why D3 isn't investigated to reflect all the good it does for human health! You Sir, are providing a great and wonderful service to all who tune into your episodes!
-
I had severe Vitamin D deficiency and my dark skin color made matters worse. 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 has made a profound impact in quality of my life. Physically I feel more energized and mentally I feel more positive.
-
Why would big pharma want healthy populations who do not need expensive meds daily? This is why this info is not widely promoted - Vit D is wayaayyy too cheap and easy to make people healthy.
-
This was one of the very best, most exciting, and hopeful Vit. D presentations I have ever had the privilege to see. This incredible information was science-based, captivating, understandable, and enormously relevant to these pandemic times. All respect and deep gratitude to DR John Campbell, a person, a medical professional, a true doctor with a human heart, clearly dedicated to everyone's well-being. May God bless, comfort, and protect you in all the days of your life.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer my physician immediately put me on Vitamin D (I was very low, living in New England). Vitamin D is very important for good health. Great report.

In April 2021, Canada's then Health Minister Patty Hajdu said it’s “fake news” that Vitamin D can be taken to help protect Canadians. Hadju was responding to MP Derek Sloan asking why the public was not being told of the health benefits available to us all from Vitamin D3. We really must ask what is going on and why our health is not being addressed by our 'leaders'.

I’m a plus size African American, and I’ve been on 10k IU of D3 daily since the beginning of this pandemic. Added 100mcg of K2 about 3 months ago. Not only have I not gotten even a basic cold, my fibromyalgia symptoms have dramatically subsided. My doctor…bless his heart…he did my blood work and cried about overdose, but I told him, I’m going to have to go my own way with this one. I’ve now had the best health during these past two years than ever!
-
In Louisiana, USA early in the pandemic there was a startling discovery. Everyone in that state who died of COVID was low or critically low on vitamin D. My doctor had me go from 5,000 IU to 10,000 IU when I got COVID.
-
This year I've learned about human health more than during my whole life. Thank you, Dr. Campbell, for sharing viable knowledge.
-
I have started vitamin D3 4000 ie for two weeks now. My arthritis pain throughout my whole body has improved 85 percent. I'm so thrilled. Thank you! Also fatigue has improved 60 percent I'd say. I am a senior, fair complected and live in North Michigan snow belt. This has been a wonderful gift.
-
I am a black man. You just explained my whole medical family history “risk” factors. Thank you! ✝️❤️
-
Now I feel happy that I've been taking Vit D for nearly a year, beginning in winter last year. It's a pleasure to listen to you,John. Thank you for the interesting information.
-
Very few doctors and medical practitioners have taken the extra mile to discuss, present medical research and evidence in a comprehensive manner like you do. Thank you for everything that you do; very informative, relevant, and evidence-based content in this channel. Excellent video on Vitamin D. You're right about the questions in the end; why indeed.
