Vitamin D misinformation is everywhere! Learn why the vitamin D recommended dosage doesn’t align with actual science, how this vitamin D controversy started, and how much vitamin D you really need. 👉 Get Dr. Berg's Daily Routine as a free download: https://drbrg.co/3Nx39bV To learn more about the benefits of sunlight and vitamin D, watch these next: ▶️ https://youtu.be/cmPEA0EWd7g ▶️ https://youtu.be/lcrlfAhzkec ▶️ https://youtu.be/2ksPzKMJgXs Find out more about the critical error that affected the vitamin D RDA: ▶️ https://youtu.be/EWZrSK4xtXs 0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D research explained 1:23 Vitamin D data reanalysis 1:52 The Institute of Medicine and the vitamin D RDA debate 4:08 Vitamin D benefits 8:22 Vitamin D toxicity 8:55 Vitamin D deficiency explained We’ve been told that 600 IU of vitamin D is enough, but how much do we really need? In 2014, a group of researchers reanalyzed the data used to set the current vitamin D RDA. They found that instead of 600 IU per day, we actually need 8895 IU of vitamin D every day! This recalculation was confirmed by other independent research; yet, to this day, it has been completely ignored. “Forbidden Facts” by Gavin de Becker exposes some of the health controversies surrounding the Institute of Medicine. They’re viewed as the top scientific authority that is supposed to protect us, but who are they really trying to protect? Vitamin D isn’t just for your bones. It’s vital for your immune system, muscles, brain, mood, cognitive function, metabolic function, and more. Your risk of cancer even increases when you’re low. Why haven’t they corrected this vitamin D mistake? Not only have they not corrected it, but they’ve also become insistent on maintaining the recommended vitamin D dosage as is. We need significantly more than 600 IU of vitamin D! Vitamin D blood levels do not reflect the vitamin D in your cells. The standard of 20 ng/mL is not enough. Although this number is often debated, you need around 50 to 80 ng/mL to potentially ensure you have enough vitamin D in your cells. Vitamin D toxicity is extremely rare, and the risks can be mitigated by magnesium, vitamin K2, and increased water intake. We’ve created an indoor, sugar-filled society that fears the sun! So it’s no surprise that vitamin D levels are suffering. What can you do? Start getting more sun! On the days you don’t, or in the winter months, take a vitamin D3 supplement with magnesium and vitamin K2.

Real life experience. My wife had a horrible post-covid cough, it was going on for almost a year. Very bad cough, she was choking on it, couldn't breathe, couldn't sleep.. Doctors prescribed all kinds of meds, inhalers, nothing would help. One of the doctors said - seems to be some problem with immune system.. Then I stumbled on Dr Berg video, explaining how vitamin D can regulate the immune system. So, I convinced my wife to start taking D 10K per day. We hesitated at first, because dosage seemed to be huge, 10K is a big number, right? But we both started to take it. After about 2-3 weks her coughing was gone. Completely gone, like it's never happened. Thank you Dr Berg for your help, really appreciate it!

During Covid, my clinic was not allowed to recommend vit D under threat of getting fired. What does that tell you…

I read a cancer story about three years ago or so. The doctors had given this man something like a 99.9% chance of dying. He started taking 1,400 IU of Vitamin D, along with Vitamin C and Vitamin K2. He also basically stopped eating sugar, and even though he was weakened by the cancer, he would periodically do three-day fasts. Long story short, his deadlines of pending death just kept coming and going, passing every one of them. At some point he actually started to feel better, but because the cancer was terminal, he fully expected to die anyway. He never did. About a year later, he asked the doctor why he was still alive. The doctor had no idea, so they scheduled a full checkup. When the results came back, his cancer — in all forms — was completely gone.

Recently my cardiologist said to me that the data indicates that the prescription drugs are helping people live longer. He didn't know that I had stopped taking the drugs, replacing them with supplements and was feeling better. There is something wrong with our medical institutions.

They lied about the dosage, and they lied about the toxicity of an overdose. They need to be IN GITMO.

Here in New Brunswick Canada, after a recent blood test, I asked my Doctor what my Vitamin D levels were. Her response was we don't check Vitamin D levels because we already know everyone is Vitamin D deficient. Let that sink in for a moment, we are all deficient and not measured by how much.
