hey dr. Berg here in this video we’re

going to talk about vitamin D in

relationship to why everyone all of a

sudden is deficient in vitamin D so I’m

going to give you the basics of it and

then I’ll get into the why so here’s

some basics number 1 our bodies need

about 1200 international units of

vitamin D per day ok that’s a general

amount it might go up or down depending

on several factors one is your stress

level because obviously if you’re more

sick or more stress you’re going to need

more the foods that have vitamin D would

be cod liver oil that’s why your

grandmother recommended that fatty fish

butter cheese cream raw milk very high

in vitamin D but most people get it from

the Sun because what happens is the UV

lights convert cholesterol on your skin

just turn that cholesterol into a

chemical reaction that occurs to your

liver and kidney that then eventually

makes vitamin D so your body will make

vitamin D from some in the interaction

of the cholesterol on your skin okay so

that’s how we get it vitamin D is used

to support bone so in a child you could

have if you’re very deficient you can

have this thing called rickets which is

very weak bones the bones start bending

so there is a connection between vitamin

D and bone I’ll get into the specifics

in a little bit the immune system highly

sensitive to vitamin D so if your

vitamin D deficient you can have immune

problems but vitamin D is is not really

like a vitamin it acts like a hormone is

a hormone it’s a pre hormone so it turns

into a steroid it’s a type of steroid a

lot of times when you get vitamin D from

the pharmacy they’ll give you the wrong

kind and they make it synthetically you

want a more of a natural form all right

so now why all of a sudden is everyone

deficient in D that’s that’s weird well

there’s a couple reasons for it number

one MD is only recently been testing

vitamin D previously they haven’t really

looked for it so that could be one

reason

number two people don’t go out in the

Sun as much especially as you get older

you’re going to stay away from the Sun

because of the scare of skin cancer and

things like that so people are not going

out in the Sun kids don’t go out in the

Sun as much we’re mainly in an office

behind the computer also low cholesterol

diet remember Sun converts the

cholesterol in the vitamin D so we need

cholesterol so if you’re a low

cholesterol medication or you’re going

on a low-fat diet olestra diet it could

be that could be a culprit you don’t

have any raw material to build vitamin D

or it could be a lack of something

called bio I’ve done videos on this bile

is the detergent that breaks down the

grease it is a fluid from your liver

that breaks down fats specifically fat

soluble vitamins vitamin D is a

fat-soluble vitamin without bio you

can’t absorb vitamin D so it could be a

digestive liver issue okay and that’s

why if the doctor gives you so much

recommend so much vitamin D per week

like I’ve had people come in they’re

taking fifty thousand milligrams like

way more than you would need once a week

not every not spread out but once a week

and if they don’t have bio they’re going

to get a Vitamix called vitamin hyper

hypervitaminosis vitamin D that’s

actually vitamin D toxicity that’s too

much vitamin D and the symptoms for

vitamin D toxicity would be the calcium

starts clogging up your heart your lungs

the kidneys you get kidney stones you

get all sorts weakness in the muscle you

get really you have a lot of fatigue so

just because you are deficient doesn’t

mean you need to go overboard and go the

other direction go way over the edge so

you need bile to absorb vitamin D and

make it work and the last thing is not

very known but stress specifically the

stress hormone called cortisol cortisol

is the adrenal hormone the stress

hormone

that competes for other steroids like

this in other words this stress hormone

goes in the body and it’s received in a

receptor and if there’s too much stress

hormone there won’t be enough receptors

for vitamin D so now vitamin D doesn’t

go in there because vitamin D is a

steroid so is cortisol

they’re both steroids they’re almost

hormone like so when you have a lot of

cortisol or stress you block the ability

to absorb vitamin D and honestly I think

this is probably the more the most

common reason why people have low

vitamin D levels is stress so we have

that and also the flight or flight mode

the adrenaline rush lack of sleep oh my

gosh it’s incredible so no wonder we

have low vitamin D levels so that’s

that’s some basics on what vitamin D

does and now I want to show you some

interesting data about the opposing

hormone now very few people know about

this but in nature all vitamins are

synergistic they work with other

vitamins vitamin D has a synergistic

vitamin called vitamin F in other words

they work together as a teacher taught

or type mechanism when one goes up the

other one goes down but the function of

vitamin D is to take the calcium from

the stomach and put it into the blood

the purpose of vitamin F is to take the

calcium from the blood and put it into

the skin tissues okay

and that is why vitamin F is a

protective mechanism against all types

of skin problems maybe you have never

heard about them enough it’s the

polyunsaturated fatty acids so that

would be like the safflower oil the flax

oil the walnut and walnut oil sunflower

oil pumpkin seed oils or pumpkin seeds

fatty fish there e there is some

actually even some vitamin F in in

butter too there’s also vitamin F in

Collar boil and there’s there’s one type

of food that you have a 50/50 split of

vitamin D and vitamin F and that would

be

cod-liver oil which your grandmother was

correct so so those vitamins work

together now vitamin D is the Sun milk

products cream cheese raw milk and then

we have the vitamin F this is more

saturated fats these are unsaturated

fats okay so they work together now if

you’re deficient in vitamin F you will

get hives you will get thick skin like a

farmer that’s out in the Sun so long his

skin becomes very very very thick and

that is because you’re getting all this

vitamin D vitamin T toxicity which

automatically reduces your vitamin F

which automatically drops your calcium

in the skin and leaves you vulnerable

for sunstroke sunburns all sorts of skin

problems so here’s here’s the problem

what you want to do is you want to

consider that they always have vitamin F

with vitamin D hives muscle cramps

sunburn it would be difficult to get

sunburn if you had enough vitamin F in

your bloodstream so if you actually do

have sunstroke go ahead and go in the

house and start consuming more flax oil

or something like that to get more of

that vitamin F and that will help you

heal that sunburn very very fast but

it’s just a depletion of calcium to the

skin canker sores viruses come out of

remission when you’re low in vitamin D

because vitamin I’m sort of item an F

okay so vitamin F goes down viruses come

out of remission because there’s no

calcium there but to keep the virus in

check and keep it back in remission

so viruses come out of remission when

you’re deficient in vitamin F that would

be canker sore so that’s why the immune

system is very highly linked with this

the other interesting point is that

polio which is the virus always tend to

come come out outbreaks in the late fall

or the early early fall late summer

what else papillomaviruses come out in

the late summer the flu comes out in the

fall which is right after summer a lot

of virus outbreaks occur after the

summer months when you have all this

vitamin D and that’s all it’s doing is

depleting your vitamin F making you

susceptible for these viruses to come

out the virus is already in there it’s

just coming out the other thing is the

cervical cancer which is viral related

cancer of the cervix that those

outbreaks come out in the late summer

which I just find that being an

interesting connection I don’t know if

that’s a fact but it sounds like it

correlates so this is the relationship

make sure that you balance it out and

understand this because you don’t just

need vitamin D you need vitamin F to

keep the whole thing working and now you

understand how it all works and so make

sure that you consume a lot of these

omega-3 fatty acids in your diet and

that will kind of keep you out of

trouble so the other thing I want to

mention is that it’s not as simple as

just taking vitamin D it could be you

don’t have any bile so if you don’t have

bile you need bile salts to be able to

digest the the vitamins the fat cyber

vitamins so you can start pulling in the

vitamin D in the bloodstream and there’s

really nothing wrong with being out in

the Sun as long as you have vitamin A to

protect you and that way it’ll keep the

calcium in there as well so you want to

take all this data and look at the whole

picture not just like this like through

a little microscope and so that’s kind

of the holistic view I hope you enjoyed

it

and write down any comments about it

below and I will see you in the next
