alright so there are actually nine

reasons why someone is deficient in

vitamin D let’s go through them number

one I don’t know if you knew this but

bacteria in viruses have a unique

strategy of interfering with your

absorption of vitamin D there’s what’s

called the vitamin D receptor and what

they do is they block it so you can’t

get an amount of mandi which is

essential for your immune system and

that’s how they survive and that’s how

they kind of break down your defenses by

shutting down that vitamin D before you

can even get some help the epstein-barr

virus lowers the vitamin d receptor HIV

virus completely stops the vitamin d

receptor shuts it down so if you have

HIV or I’ve seen barbarous you should be

taking a lot of vitamin d TB down

regulates the bottom in d receptor so

they’re very devious these viruses and

bacteria they go right for this the

receptor for vitamin D and that’s why a

lot of different illnesses use what’s

called vitamin D receptor analogues

there which are basically kind of a

mimic vitamin D and they actually bypass

the system then go right in but you can

actually do it other ways as well you

can increase the amount of vitamin D

that you’re taking you can also take

bile salts but I’ll do a separate video

just on that aging decreases the skin’s

conversion of vitamin D so as you get

older you need three times as much

vitamin D and that’s when you actually

really need it when you get older so if

you’re older you should be taking

vitamin D but always take it with food

because it’s a fat soluble vitamin okay

and it’ll go in a lot better

number three difficult to get vitamin D

in the diet I did a whole separate video

on this it’s almost impossible to get

really what you need from your diet

unless you’re doing condom oil because

it’s just it’s just not in the foods if

you’re breastfeeding you need to be

taking vitamin D if you’re pregnant you

need to be taking vitamin D very

important for that growing child

number four 57% of the population is

deficient in vitamin D I think it’s

between 37 and 57% but a lot of that’s

based on your location where you live in

the world so in different latitudes if

you’re in the south and the tropics

chances are you’re probably not going to

be very deficient but if you’re in the

north which a very large population

lives that right there can severely

decrease your vitamin D from the Sun

exposure

number five mutations with the vitamin D

receptor

it’s called polymorphism okay and just a

fancy word for there’s some alteration

in the vitamin D receptor in certain

populations okay and it’s actually

higher than you think and there’s

different there’s four different

alterations in this little receptor and

it’s a genetic thing and you can get a

test you can find out if you have this

problem and this would explain if you

have any of these symptoms like for

example your depression autoimmune

disease insomnia adrenal fatigue that

can’t seem to be resolved some skin

disorder like psoriasis eczema chronic

inflammation and you’re taking vitamin D

it’s supposed to create effect but it’s

not working

what you need is you need a lot more

because you may have this genetic defect

within the receptor and it’s just not

working you won’t see any effects if you

have a fatty liver or hepatitis or

cirrhosis of the liver

you’re not gonna absorb vitamin D - well

okay

so because your liver is is key in the

absorption of vitamin D the conversion

of vitamin D even from the Sun as well

as the kidneys you need good kidneys and

a good liver to actually absorb and use

vitamin D number seven you don’t go

outside anymore you’re inside all day

long maybe as a kid you’re outside but

now you just stay inside well that could

be a big reason number eight if you have

a chronic infection a low-grade

infection which a lot of people have and

they have they

chronically fatigued or they have

fibromyalgia or some type of low-level

infection going on that can suck the

vitamin D rather than give you tissues

because every single immune cell has

receptors for vitamin D it’s important

in preventing infections and then if you

have an infection it will deplete your

vitamin D high levels of cortisol okay

from stress will deplete vitamin D so

another interesting thing that you may

not realize so the more stress that you

have the more vitamin D you should take

it’s going to bring your mood up as well

so I hope this increase your awareness

of the importance of vitamin D and the

reason why people need it thanks for
