hey guys dr. Berg here in this video we’re  going to talk about vitamin D deficiency okay  

now vitamin D is mainly there to help you absorb  calcium in the small intestine the vitamin D  

helps absorb calcium by 20 times that’s a lot  if you didn’t have vitamin D you’re not going  

to absorb calcium that much so it brings it from  the intestine up into the blood okay it also helps  

lower blood pressure so some people that are  deficient have high blood pressure because of  

low vitamin D it also affects the immune system so  if you have an immune deficiencies or autoimmune  

problems vitamin D can actually help that in fact  some of the microbes in certain diseases are very  

stealth and they block the receptor for vitamin  D to cause you now to pull that thing in there to  

perpetuate the illness it’s really interesting  also prevents asthma so if you have if you’re  

asthmatic and you go out in the Sun and you get  all the Sun you will actually reduce your symptoms  

greatly so vitamin D deficiencies can set you up  for as asthma symptoms if you’re taking bottom in  

D like 2,000 milligrams is not going to or 2,000  international units isn’t going to do anything  

you need minimally ten thousand international  units now if you notice I’m not saying milligrams  

international units are units that are a lot  different rating systems so you need a lot more  

to equal milligrams so I I probably like if you’re  out in the Sun for 20 minutes you’re going to get  

30 to 40 about 30 to 35 thousand international units  of vitamin D so I mean the Sun will give you that  

so you want to be you don’t be concerned about  taking too much vitamin D I mean you could take  

like a hundred thousand and still be okay but  the danger is not counteracting with vitamin  

k2 I put some links down below if you don’t know  about vitamin k2 to get more data but vitamin k2  

works with vitamin d3 and together to transport  calcium through the body so what happens vitamin  

k2 will take that calcium from the blood and  push it into the bone so it actually helps it  

works with the vitamin D in the transportation  of calcium so you don’t end up with soft tissue  

calcium or calcification the arteries get the mk7  version that’s a natural and then without vitamin  

d you get bone pain okay and then also vitamin  D is really good to prevent depression so those  

especially that’s why in the winter people kind  of get the blues so let’s just talk about what  

causes vitamin D deficiencies number one gall  bladder if you don’t have a gall bladder then  

you’re not going to have the bile to emulsify and  pull in the fat soluble vitamin vitamin D or even  

k2 so that could be a problem and if you don’t  have a gall bladder gall bladder problems then  

you need to take something some bio extract to  help you and then cortisol so in this book frank  

neder encyclopedia of endocrinology volume 4 talks  about cortisol counteracting vitamin D so that’s  

interesting so stress can block vitamin D so here  you are getting the Sun taking the vitamins but  

it still shows low could be cortisol could be  high levels of cortisol that’s stress that can  

block it and that’s why adrenal cases have a  lot of issues with calcium because they have  

a vitamin D deficiency so it also could be like  it’s in the winter you don’t get much Sun that  

could be a cause in which case you want to take  some extra virgin cod liver oil which is the best  

source of vitamin D and then it could be from your  diet you don’t consume enough foods with vitamin  

D so anyway I just wanted to create a little  video to give you a little summary of vitamin  

D and tell you some of the other connections that  you might not be aware of so thanks for watching
