"Avoiding The Sun Is Just As Dangerous As Smoking Cigarettes." Dr Eric Berg "There Are At Least 17 Different Cancers, Autoimmune Diseases & Cardiovascular Disease Linked To Vitamin D Insufficiency." "Vitamin D is intimately involved in over 2,000 different genes." "Our immune system absolutely cannot work without Vitamin D. 90-95% of Vitamin D comes from the sun." "Even in the early 1900s, they had Sanitariums that you can go to, to bathe in the sun as a cure for TB (Tuberculosis) & Asthma & many different illnesses." The American Dermatology Association says you must stay out of the sun & use sunscreen everyday because the sun is dangerous. We have been lied to with the attempt to indoctrinate us to, all of a sudden, be fearful of the sun. Always remember that the key to unlock & activate Vitamin D is Magnesium. Magnesium must be present in food or supplement form to activate Vitamin D, even from the sun. And for Vitamin D to transport Calcium correctly to the bones & not calcify within arterial walls & soft tissues within the body, the cofactor K2 must also be present in the diet or in supplement form. 30 minutes of sunlight can manufacture 30,000 IU of Vit D.

Vitamin D supplementation was associated with a 40% lower risk of dementia over a decade. After five years, 84% of supplement users were dementia-free compared to just 68% of non-users in a study of over 12,000 people. Vitamin D reduced dementia risk by 33% in adults with mild cognitive impairment or APOE e4, a key genetic risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. Vitamin D isn’t just a vitamin—it's a steroid hormone regulating over 2,000 genes critical for brain development, neuroplasticity, and inflammation control. Its roles include clearing amyloid beta plaques and tau buildup, boosting neuron survival via neurotrophic factors like BDNF, and enhancing brain connectivity, particularly when paired with exercise. It’s no surprise, then, that higher vitamin D levels are associated with better cognition, larger hippocampal volume, and lower Alzheimer’s risk. Multiple lines of evidence support this. More than 30 large studies have consistently linked low vitamin D levels to a 50–150% increased dementia risk. People genetically prone to low vitamin D—those with genetic variations affecting vitamin D production or metabolism—have a 54% higher dementia risk. Furthermore, supplementing with 800 IU/day of vitamin D improves memory and cognitive function in people with mild cognitive impairment and more serious forms of dementia. To learn more about optimizing vitamin D levels for cognitive health, including underlying brain-protective mechanisms and practical supplementation protocols, see the latest FoundMyFitness video.

A cancer breakthrough hiding in plain sight: Vitamin D. Oncologist Prof. Angus Dalgleish revealed a game-changing finding to pancreatic cancer expert Daniel Von Hoff: his successful immunotherapy trial insisted on normal Vitamin D levels. Skeptical, Von Hoff reviewed 30 years of data from 4,000 patients. The result was staggering: not one patient with low Vitamin D had responded to chemotherapy. The "responders" in his past trials were simply those with adequate Vitamin D levels. The drug alone wasn't the hero; it needed a competent immune system, primed by Vitamin D. The takeaway: Vitamin D is non-negotiable for immune function. Every white blood cell has receptors for it. The official "normal" level (~50 nmol/L) is too low. For therapy, aim for >100 nmol/L. Correcting this deficiency could be the key to turning non-responders into responders. A simple, safe, and foundational step we can no longer ignore.

🚨 This vid was Removed from YouTube. VITAMIN D: Do you know your level?! If not, get tested! Get it ABOVE 55 ng/mL. Now's the time of year that low vit D can really bite us in the *ss. Yet insurance won't cover vit D tests. 🫠 🚨 Did you know it's possible to be taking a large amount of Vitamin D, & still be deficient?! (due to extreme individual variance in Vitamin D processing). Nearly Half the USA is Clinically Vitamin D deficient. Many more are INSUFFICIENT. Why does D matter? Our immune systems literally can't work properly w/o adequate vitamin D! Inflammation can get out of control as well, w/o enough vitamin D. Ryan Cole, MD: "Your best [Vitamin D] level to be at is 55 [ng/mL], that's when all the receptors in your body are saturated...even slightly above that, because when when you get sick w/anything, you actually deplete the amount of vitamin D your body has. So if you go into an illness with low vitamin D, you can't turn off those [inflammatory] pathways." GET TESTED, stat!

These are the supplements I give my aging parents: • A daily multivitamin • Vitamin D • High-DHA omega-3s • Ubiquinol (the reduced form of CoQ10) • Sulforaphane Why these? Large RCTs show improved cognition in older adults taking a standard multivitamin, with benefits equivalent to a brain that's 2-5 years younger. For vitamin D, more than 70% of older U.S. adults are insufficient, and aging skin produces far less vitamin D from sunlight (a 70-year-old makes roughly 4x less than their 20-year-old self). DHA is a key structural fat in the brain and supports cognitive function, especially important with aging and neurodegenerative risk, while CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production as levels drop with age. Finally, sulforaphane is a powerful activator of Nrf2, the body's master stress-response pathway, up-regulating glutathione and phase II detox enzymes.

New research suggests Vitamin D isn't just a supplement; it may be a critical key that unlocks cancer treatment efficacy. Oncologist Dr. Angus Dalgleish reveals a stunning finding: In pancreatic cancer trials, the only patients who responded to chemotherapy were those with normal Vitamin D levels. The implication is direct: A Vitamin D deficiency may render powerful treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy ineffective. Correcting levels beforehand could be the simple, non-negotiable step that allows these therapies to work. This isn't just an add-on; it's a potential prerequisite for treatment success.

High dose vitamin D supplementation might be doing more harm than good. Stephanie Seneff, MIT researcher: Vitamin D is a signalling molecule, not a nutrient to megadose. It mobilizes calcium — but doesn't control where calcium goes. High dose vitamin D drives calcium into the arteries, leaching it from bones. A 3-year study comparing 400 IU/day, 4,000 IU/day and 10,000 IU/day found the highest dose group had statistically significantly worse bone mineral density. A 2006 study found that calcitriol supplementation (the active form of vitamin D) in young adults with kidney disease increased artery calcification — because calcitriol is taken up directly by cells in the artery wall. Artery calcification is one of the strongest risk factors for cardiovascular disease. An Indian study compared vitamin D supplementation to 20 minutes of daily sunlight in 100 men with severe deficiency. Remarkably — the supplement group had a larger increase in serum vitamin D than the sunlight group. Yet opposite effects on cholesterol: Sunlight group — cholesterol dropped. Supplement group — cholesterol increased. Why? Sunlight and vitamin D supplements take completely different routes through your body. Vitamin D supplements are fat-soluble. The liver has to synthesize cholesterol and release LDL particles just to transport them through the blood. Sunlight stimulates cholesterol sulfate synthesis directly in the skin. The sulfate component makes the molecule water-soluble — transported freely in the blood without being packaged inside an LDL particle. Because cholesterol sulfate is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, it can transfer from skin cell membranes to HDL particles or red blood cells and deliver cholesterol directly to tissues that need it. No LDL carrier required. When you get vitamin D from a supplement instead of the sun, you don't get the simultaneous increase in cholesterol sulfate. The pill doesn't just fail to replicate sunlight. It uses a completely different biological pathway. Seneff: "Vitamin D wants to be subtle. Get out in the sun." "People answer: oh yeah I know, vitamin D is important." "No. Not vitamin D. The sun.” Vitamin D is a proxy for sunlight exposure. The proxy isn't the mechanism.

Did you know that living farther from the equator—where sunlight is weaker—has long been linked to higher risks of certain cancers and other conditions? Renowned physician Dr. Paul Marik calls Vitamin D "astonishing," describing it as acting more like a hormone with wide-ranging health benefits. According to Dr. Marik, research indicates Vitamin D plays a role in supporting the body against COVID, depression, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and particularly cancer. He highlights extensive studies showing that lower Vitamin D levels are associated with increased cancer risk, with patterns observed in populations farther from the equator due to reduced UVB exposure—raising risks for cancers like colon, breast, and prostate, as well as Alzheimer's. Encouragingly, Dr. Marik points to evidence suggesting that maintaining adequate Vitamin D through supplementation may help lower cancer development risk. For those diagnosed with cancer, he notes studies where higher-dose Vitamin D supplementation has been associated with improved outcomes, including better chances of remission. This accessible, over-the-counter nutrient continues to be a focus of ongoing research. Always discuss with your healthcare provider before starting supplements or making changes.

Magnesium is the 'key' that unlocks & activates Vitamin D3. For supplemental, Magnesium Glycinate & Threonate are the most bioavailable forms. And for Vitamin D to transport Calcium correctly to the bones & not calcify within arterial walls & soft tissues within the body, the cofactor K2 must also be present in the diet or in supplement form. Animal based diets provide ample natural K2. For supplemental, use K2 in MK4 or MK7 forms. 30 minutes of sunlight can manufacture 30,000 IU of Vitamin D3. 👇Vitamin D Deficiency & Chronic Disease👇 👇Melanoma Is Not Caused By Sunlight👇 👇Magnesium Required Cofactor For Vitamin D3👇 Speaker: Dr. Stephanie Joy Rimka Dr Stephanie Rimka
