DR. ELIZABETH EADS: "the combination of Fenbendozale, Ivermectin, and apricot seeds, i.e., B-17 cures cancers. Not all cancers"

Here is Dr. Elizabeth Eads, [5:00-6:00] who has learned from a series of studies out of Europe that the combination of Fenbendozale, Ivermectin, and apricot seeds, i.e., B-17, cures cancers. Not all cancers, she qualifies that point. But there are 63 papers confirming this fact.  She specifies that this combination treats breast cancers, prostate cancers, and colon cancers.  And I like the dig she makes on Obama, passing the bill to unleash government propaganda through HR 4310, the National Defense Authorization Act, signed by Obama on December 29, 2012.  So basically, Section 1078 of that Bill authorizes the use of propaganda inside the U.S.A. which had previously been banned since 1948 when the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, 1948, was passed.  What does this mean?  [8:00] It means they legalized propaganda, legalizing mainstream media, Big Pharma, hospitals, doctors, and publications to put out campaigns against Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, calling it "Horse Paste."  They weren't allowed to call it Ivermectin.  Who prevented people from calling Ivermectin?  Claiming that Hydroxychlorine was calling heart arrhythmias.  Chlorine Dioxide, they termed it "bleach."  Shout out to Pierre Kory, because the war on Ivermectin is beautifully laid out with all the evidence, and all the studies supporting this propaganda this study from Desort and Henin, The SAIVE Trial is a trial.  "Exposure to that Ivermectin reduced exposure to SARS-CoV-2 by 72%.  Not sure what that means exactly.  I'd be more interested to know what Ivermectin does to the spike proteins from the vaccine.  Hel-lo.  It is telling, however, that all of the Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine papers under the propaganda law were suppressed.  Then how did they get out then?   

12:00  Underlying cause of cancer falls into 3 categories: 1) EMF radiation, radiation, in general; 2) pesticides, glyphosate, benzine, and environmental toxins; 3) parasites.  All of this has been proven in the literature, so you have to attack all three of those causes/categories in order to treat cancer.  She includes the brand Root Spray and Clean Slate.  She also incorporates the blocking of all radiation radiation.and EMF and using products, topical products like Ozone Blocking, EMF-blocking scaler wave stickers.  They block EMF in your phone, your iPad, your cell tower, anything to block the EMF radiation that is bombarding us everyday.

13:35. Lee Merritt recently raised an interesting point going back to when they started to lay the electrical grid and wiryy for the TELEGRAPH. Everywhere where those wires were being laid down, usually along railroad tracks, there was an increased incidence of sickness in people living nearby.  Scientists have been tracking radiation exposure, and EMF exposure, all the way back to the telegraph.  Negative frequencies, whether in music or in warfare, we know that during World War I and World War II, they used negative musical frequency, called The Devil's Tone to injure and make the enemy hyper-aggressive and make them docile and actually surrender.  And then for each pandemic marching through the years, Dr. Lee Merritt lays out a correlation the increased amount of radiation exposure and disease.  So there's a great correlation.  You know, she's from the military, she has a Navy background.  She was an orthopedic spinal surgeon in the Navy and she sat on a lot of these military committees, so she has a lot of data.  But she has correlated the electromagnetic radiation frequency and disease in the human body whether that's acute sickness or illness or cancer she has correlated that and she's out there and she's really outspoken about the importance of Americans decreasing their exposure to EMF radiation and there are great papers on the frequency rate, papers supporting the 5G.  T there is evidence in Wuhan and Lombardi after they turned on those 5G towers is when most of those "Covid" cases occurred. So perhaps it was just a high amount of 5G exposure causing illness and sickness and toxicity in the body that killed a lot of those patients and not necessarily the bioweapon that was also distributed to people In Lombardi and Wuhan and New York City.

16:36. In your February interview you said something that some people thought was outrageous but you don't lie.  For example,  this explosion in cancers, you got the goods on to tell us there's also a video out by Dr. Bischoff. [Taking vitamin D3, Omega 3s, and exercise may reduce invasive cancers by 61% in adults 70 years old and up.] You can see him give his dissertation from cancer.org the Cancer Society Prevention Society.

17:00  At least a billion dead or disabled by Covid-19 bioweapon vaccine.  Are you sticking by that, or do you have more to back that up?

17:10  I am sticking by that.  Actually, it's going to be higher than that, 1.2 billion.  A paper recently came out submitted by Dave Hodges shows 600,000 Americans per year are dying from Covid shots.  And that data is supported by Stirling and Ed Dowd.  What they did is look at the actuary numbers in the insurance, life insurance numbers, because you know, because we don't have good data sets from the hospitals because they're not reporting vaccine injuries; they're not reporting vaccine status; they're not correlating the deaths with mRNA vaccines.  They're doing that on purpose.  

18:05  You're saying that the data they're getting of 600,000, that's just low because the hospital is shading that.  

18:16  I am sure it's slightly hire because we don't have the data set from the hospitals.  When we're talking about 600,000 excess deaths/year [Josh Stirling, an insurance analyst presents this number at the 6:49 mark] and we're not done with 2023 yet, that could potentially be 1.2 billion.  

18:34  A year?

18:35  Correct.  

18:40  That seems like a lot, right?  That's 1.2 billion globally.  There are 13 billion injections at least.  That's the number. These are the CDC numbers.  And there are at least 676 million injections alone.  676 million injections, CV19 bioweapon injections, in America alone.

19:05  So the UK has really good data set from their Dept. of Health and they have projected recently in a UK study that they've had 5, they're on their 5th or 6th booster.  They're projecting a population decrease by 2025 of 77%.  

20:35  Ed Dowd says that the number of injured is exponentially higher than those who are dying.  What do you think about the disabilities and deaths in the U.S. for 2023?  Ed Dowd said we lost 30% of our workforce in 2022.

20:54  It's going to be in the high millions. 600,000 and we're not done with 2023.  You double that and that's what, 1.2 million and that's underreported.  So millions.  Remember that the spike protein and the bioweapon nanotechnology remain in the body for we don't know how long.  There's no endpoint.  The reason you're getting these super cancers is because you have spike proteins being manufactured with no off button.  And so you have a delayed effect in auto-immune disorders and cancers.  What happens is that the spike protein dysregulates your T-cells, your B-cells which fight foreign bacteria, viruses, and cancers, and the complement system.  It interrupts that.  And then you have the SV40 that was discovered in the Moderna and Pfizer vials by Kevin McKernen who worked on the human genome project, who is a microbiologist.  So you have these foreign proteins with DNA, this monkey SV40 which he discovered in over the legal amount allowed to be as a contaminant in the vials, and multiple vials he looked at.  So you had these DNA proteins getting into the cells and introducing this monkey DNA, the SV40, which is also dysregulating your normal T-cells, normal B-cells, and complement which normally attack and eat cancer.  They're actually causing cancers.  And it's been suggested that these SV40 lead to cancers such as mesothelioma, lymphoma, and brain cancer.  And there's a direct correlation.  So there's no endpoint to the mRNA mechanism, the nanotechnology that has clearly been proven by the patents which are on Karen Kingston's substack.  And there's no turn-off switch for the spike protein.  The spike protein remains in the body for 1-3 years that we've seen so far. 

23:54  It doesn't dissipate?

23:55  No, that's my point.  

24:00  Is this why people are prescribing Ivermectin is it because it binds, this is what Dr. Pierre Kory told me, is it because it binds to the spike proteins and removes them?  Dr. Peter McCullough is also prescribing Nattokinase because it dissolves the spike protein.  Bind, remove, dissolves, sound like a pretty good one-two punch.  Are those two great things to have if you're going to preemptively attack spike proteins if you've been vaxx'd or if you're being shed on?

24:40  Absolutely.  Look, Nattokinase has been used as a food supplement in Japan for years.  And the life expectancy in Japan is really long, it's over 100 years old.  Nattokinase boosts the immune system.  It makes the red blood cells in your blood, whether it's venous or arterial, it doesn't matter.  It makes them less sticky, and it decreases the incidents of blood clots.  But also it's been shown by Peter McCullough and his team, to sweep out the spike protein, so I highly recommend the use of Nattokinase, Ivermectin, and some kind of chelation.  I love the Root Spray and Clean SlateIvermectin has been proven to decrease the effects of spike protein.  Decrease the effects of and limit viral exposure and the entrance of the virus into cells and block the mechanism of the virus sticking to the ACE2 Receptors and the spike protein sticking to the ACE2 receptors, which are all over all the organs in the body.  So I use a combination of products.  I also use dimethylglycine or methylene Blue to turn off the mRNA.  It demethylates the mRNA that is outside the cell.  There's no product that we know that stops the mRNA mechanism inside the cell at this point.  But I use that whole combination to lessen the effect of the spike protein.  

26:55  No treatment that we know of for the q dot nanoparticles that Karen Kingston describes.  

27:05  That's not shed on you, that's actually injected into the 200 plus million Americans . . . that is not a shedding issue.  That's an issue of injection, correct?

27:17  No.  Actually, the nanoparticles can be shed during transmission as well and they can jump from person to person.  And that's been seen in the DoD literature and supported by James Giordano, who is Advisor to U.S. Military Intelligence community.  In fact, he wrote that "neurotism technologies and neurotechnology nanoparticles, such as NeuroLink, Neurolace should not be considered for their mass destruction effects."

27:57  What would Elon Musk say about that? It's a bio weapon, right? These are all bio weapons, right?

28:05. These are definitely bioweapons.  If you go to Karen Kingston's substack, she has put out . . . she has done some great work in Florida.  She has put out 12 Points.  She set up a document that has laid out 12 talking points to send to your County Commissioner to get rid of these mRNA shots.  And in Point #12, I am going to read it, it says biological weapons are weapons of mass destruction.  Allowing their use on civilian populations is a 1st-degree felony in the state of Florida.  And she goes on to say that mRNA vaccines contain neurotechnology that is patented for use as a bioweapon.  She has the receipts on her website.  And this document can be downloaded off of her substack and used for any county in any state.  This is specific to Florida, but she has a letter on there where you can plug in your County Commissioner's name and office.  In the letter, you can tailor that letter to your own county commissioner in any state.  I actually sent it to my county commissioner here in Florida.  

29:40  Are they going to do anything about it? 

29:42  Yes, Collier County has passed legislation that protects its citizens against mandates, and these mRNA vaccines.  It also talks about informed consent and there are other counties in Florida that are going to pass legislation against these mRNA technologies., mandates, and against the lack of informed consent.  It's a beautifully written document and everybody should download that.

30:25  Karen Kingston was on the cutting edge of this from the very beginning.  

If you want to get Ivermectin without a prescription,
there are places in the United States.  See here.  If you order from outside the U.S., say, from India, it will take at least 1 full month before you receive it in your mail.  

$70 for 90 Count.  Well, it was $70.  Today, Sunday, May 19, 2024, it's $90 for 90-count.

IN 1934 RESEARCHERS . . . REPORTED THAT CHOLINE ABOLISHES FATTY LIVER

So MarketWatch ran a story on Sunday, December, 10, 2017, on the increase in liver disease among middle-aged Americans.  And it starts off harmless enough with a headline and then an explanation of what functions the liver performs. 
Liver disease is on the rise among middle-aged Americans, but many don’t know they have it—or that they could develop it.   
The liver performs critical jobs, including cleaning toxins from the blood, storing energy and nutrients, digesting fats and processing medications, alcohol and food. 
And then it goes into shock mode, as if it were waking up the dead from the dead, where people will be running to their doctor's office screaming at them indicting them, "Why didn't you tell me that my liver was shot after all those quarts of Jack Daniels over the last two months!"  
 But a host of ills and abuses can wreak havoc on the liver, from heavy drinking and infection with hepatitis B or C to a scourge known as fatty-liver disease linked to diabetes and obesity. Over time, the liver can become fibrous and scarred, eventually developing cirrhosis, the replacement of normal tissue with hard tissue. The damage that occurs increases the risk for liver cancer.
And if having a fibrous liver isn't horrible enough, imagine what happens when liver tissue hardens into cirrhosis and can no longer work?  If your liver don't work, you won't be able to heal.  You can't store vitamin D or C or any vitamin.  You're done.  At least according to this article.  But you do have remedies which I point you to at the end of this review.  
“Patients who are now respectable citizens may not want to tell their doctors, ‘I was a crazy teen back in the ’60s,’ ”Dr. Anna S. Lok, director of hepatology at the University of Michigan
What does that have to do with anything?  If you're sick, you're sick.  If you think that your doctor is the cure or his magic bag of tricks, then talk with him, share with her the biological details of your life.  I am sure that it is bad, that liver disease is on the rise.  
 A September report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that death rates for chronic liver disease and cirrhosis rose 31% among those age 45 to 64 between 2000 and 2015. And cases of liver cancer rose more than 20% in the U.S. between 1990 and 2015.
Yet liver diseases often have no symptoms until they are far advanced, making it all the more important to identify and test those at risk.
Yes, it's true.  This reminds me of when people tell me "I didn't expect to live past 40."  That's because they never thought about their biology, and they found a rhythm and that rhythm has worked for them to help keep them alive.  It reminds me too of functional drunks, people who show up to work irritable and hung over but charming enough to keep the office staff none the wiser or at least rationalize their suspicions or worries.
 “With baby boomers, we may focus on heart disease, dementia and cancer, and don’t always think about the liver,” says Dr. Anna S. Lok, director of hepatology at the University of Michigan and president of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.
Ah, yes, new drugs to the rescue.  Or do they . . . rescue I mean?  
 There are new drugs that cure hepatitis C, and a number of treatments are in development for advanced fatty-liver disease. Getting and staying sober can reverse liver damage caused by alcohol, and losing weight can reverse damage caused by nonalcoholic liver disease.
This is true, and this is my point.  People don't take adequate care of themselves, in part, because they don't perceive how things, meaning their biology, is broken.  And that is in part thanks to our homeostasis that keeps us from being conscious of pain.  
 “The liver is very forgiving and can bounce back even in early stages of cirrhosis,” says Lok. Once cirrhosis is advanced, however, the only option is a liver transplant, which can be hard to come by. There are new treatments for liver cancer if diagnosed early, so screening cirrhosis patients for liver cancer is important, she says.
TESTING BARRIERS
Remember back in the 70s and 80s how all doctors were recommending surgery?  I mean the medical profession seemed like they were staffed with a bunch of drunks.  Seriously.  The attention to your concerns were next to nil.  I consulted 3 separate doctors once on a knee problem.  Each one recommended surgery, like they were part of a some profitable cabal.  They all thought alike.  Not one paused.  Surgery was recommended as much as aspirin was.  Today we know that a lot of surgeries are either totally unnecessary or completely botched.  They don't know what they're doing.  Yes, they're following a protocol, but so do dentists.  Would you accept every recommendation made to you by your dentist?  Ouch.  How do you think Hepatitis was transmitted?  Bingo!  Surgery. 
 According to a study published last month in JAMA Oncology, the rise in liver cancer in the U.S. is partially due to hepatitis C infection in baby boomers. An estimated 1 in 30 have been infected with the virus, the second-leading cause of cirrhosis. Hepatitis C was often transmitted during medical treatment before infection-control procedures were widely adopted, or from blood transfusions before 1992, when screening for the virus virtually eliminated such risks. It also is spread among intravenous-drug users, even with just one use, and from unsteril[ized] tools at tattoo parlors.
This is true enough.
 In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended a one-time hepatitis C test for all adults born between 1945 and 1965. But fewer than 30% have actually been tested, according to estimates. Doctors may fail to ask patients about past medical procedures or drug-use history, and patients may either be unaware of possible medical exposures or be hesitant to mention risky behavior such as intravenous-drug use.
So it's clear what this is implying.  Nice how the author is attacking baby boomers.  Why not?  The millennials get hit with degrading reports on a daily basis.  Perhaps the two should unite!
 “Patients who are now respectable citizens may not want to tell their doctors, ‘I was a crazy teen back in the ’60s,’ ” Lok says.
Okay, so far we're more than half way through the article and not a word about nutritional or food therapies and only a hint at some new treatments.  But wait, here it comes, you know, the agenda behind the article.  And what is that agenda?  Electronic tracking of health records.  Yes.  That's it!!!  That's the answer to the increase in liver disease.  For people, according to the between the lines statements, are too clueless to track their own health.  That's it!!!  
To eliminate such barriers, Lok and colleagues have designed an electronic-health-record alert that prompts primary-care physicians to perform such screenings if patients who are baby boomers haven’t yet been diagnosed or tested. In a study published in the journal Hepatology in September, the team said hepatitis C testing rates increased fivefold, to 72% among those born between 1945 and 1965, in the year after the electronic alerts were launched. Of 53 newly diagnosed patients, 11 had advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis, 20 started treatment and so far nine have been cured.
Oh, I see, so if you've got other diseases, then you may be at risk for liver disease as well.  And since liver disease conveniently doesn't present symptoms, why, you're really SOL. 
 If you are overweight or have Type 2 diabetes, you may be at risk of fatty liver disease.
Can't doctors detect liver disease through an annual or bi-annual blood test?  It appears so. 
The first sign of liver disease may be elevated liver enzymes in a blood test. Dr. Elliot Tapper, an assistant professor at University of Michigan who treats patients at its clinics and at the Ann Arbor VA hospital, says issues related to alcohol, obesity and diabetes are the most likely cause, followed by hepatitis B or C. Tests for such conditions should be used first, including an ultrasound of the liver to look for fatty-liver disease. If patients disclose they drink excessively or use intravenous drugs, or are taking a drug or dietary supplement that can cause liver damage, the need for more invasive tests such as liver biopsies to test for rarer conditions falls sharply, Tapper says.
FATTY LIVER . . . IS TREATABLE
I love how dishonest and scary these reports are written, ". . . affects as many as 100 million Americans . . . but also strikes children and young adults."  Isn't that about everybody?  Who's left?  
 Fatty-liver disease, a buildup of fat in the liver, affects as many as 100 million Americans, especially those in their 40s and 50s, but also strikes children and young adults. The disease can lead to a progressive form known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, which can cause scarring that leads to cirrhosis and increases the risk of heart disease, Tapper says. Genetic variations may make some people more vulnerable.
Love how these articles scare the bejesus out of adults and parents.  And what is the solution?  Biopsies!!!  Yes, of course, give us your tissues!!! 
 While liver biopsies are still used to definitively diagnose liver diseases and determine their stage, noninvasive tests using different types of scans and imaging technology such as MRI are becoming more widely used. A 2015 study of 100 patients, using such technology, showed that almost two-thirds with Type 2 diabetes have evidence of nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease, while more than 7% have advanced fibrosis. Study author Dr. Rohit Loomba, director of hepatology and a research center devoted to nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease at the University of California, San Diego, says follow-up studies aim to determine whether such technology is cost-effective for wide use.
Wow.  As a diabetic, if you're not frightened into a stressful state by now, then there must be something wrong with you.  Note that magnesium is critical for diabetics.  What doesn't the article point that out!?!?!?
Until such screening methods are better established, he says, doctors should assess their patients with classic risk factors for fatty-liver disease—those in their 40s and 50s at high risk of heart disease because of obesity and diabetes. Fatty-liver disease is also closely linked to metabolic syndrome, a group of abnormalities that include increased belly fat, high blood pressure and high blood levels of triglycerides, a type of fat.
Why does the article refuse to mention any nutritional therapies if, in fact, the condition is so bad?  Because they want to cause you to run into your doctor's office frantic clamoring for a fatty liver test.  "Give it to me!  Give it to me now!!"  As if on cue . . . 
 “If you are overweight or obese and have Type 2 diabetes and are 50 or older, you need to ask your primary-care doctor if you might have fatty-liver disease,” Loomba advises.
Wow!  What's with the optimism.  Hilarious, Groucho.  
 For patients in midlife who have already piled on extra pounds, or are gaining a few pounds each year, even moderate weight loss can reduce risk and help reverse harm to the liver, he adds.

Choline treats fatty liver disease.  Eggs are an excellent source of choline.  Got it?  So what is the message?  Eat eggs to keep your liver healthy.  .
The Single Nutrient That Eradicates Fatty Liver Disease
That’s quite a headline.  Wait until you see the list of citations proving that fact.  The incredible headlines simply multiply.  There's this
In 1934 researchers in Liverpool, England reported that choline abolishes fatty liver.  
You read that right, “abolishes.”  Fairly strong language I would say.  Then this
Humans eating low choline diets develop fatty liver and liver damage.
Just incredible. 
Other investigators found that a B-vitamin class nutrient called choline cured fatty liver.  
Did you read that, “cured”?
Choline exercises a controlling influence over the amount of fat in the liver.  Impressive.
And this
In humans, choline levels are closely related to the severity of liver disease. 
And this
Higher dietary choline intake is associated with lower risk for fatty liver disease in humans.
And this
In 1949 researchers showed that table surgar (sucrose from can sugar) and alcohol had equal potential to cause fatty liver disease and that choline could completely protect against this effect.
Okay, okay, you almost don’t believe how good choline is in protecting liver, what, with all we’ve heard and been led to believe about alcohol and cirrhosis of the liver and whatnot.  But there it is in plain English, “abolishes,” “cures,” “protects.”  And there’s more.
An experiment reported on in 1935 showed that among 20 young animals placed on a fatty diet low in choline versus another equal sized group of animals given supplemental choline, fat was deposited in the liver of the choline deficient animals while the choline-fortified diet results in only slight fat deposition in the liver.  Strikingly, five of the animals who did not receive choline died within 2 months.  In a subsequent experiment, 30% of laboratory mice on a low-choline diet died whereas no lab animals given supplemental choline died.
The takeaway?  Supplemental choline works better than choline in the diet.  This is almost too good, and yet there is more.  Read the rest for yourself.  It will blow your hair back.

Lecithin is an excellent source of choline.  WholeHealthChicago explains  
 Lecithin is considered an excellent source of choline, one of the B vitamins. Once in the body, a key component of lecithin–phosphatidylcholine–breaks down into choline. Now available in dietary supplement form, phosphatidylcholine (PC) might be thought of as a purified extract of lecithin. It is commonly recommended for treating liver, nerve, and a variety of other conditions, including multiple sclerosis and memory loss. 
You see.  This is better than a scare piece.  Simply find the nutrient in supplemental form that addresses your situation.  And I can think of no person out there who is reading, reviewing, examining the facts and reporting on them for the benefit of so many than Bill Sardi.

IN THE ABSENCE OF VITAMIN D, NONE OF OUR BODY SYSTEMS WORKS WELL

"In the absence of Vitamin D none of our body systems works well.”
“In all of these actions, Vitamin D is not causative; rather, it is enabling—necessary for cell action—but not its cause.”  
"Low Vitamin D status impairs [our] protective and reparative activity."

Show Notes:
The presenter is Robert P. Heaney, Creighton University.


“In the absence of Vitamin D, none of our body systems works well.”  Vitamin D is necessary in order to absorb enough calcium from the food we eat.  
“In all of these actions, Vitamin D is not causative; rather, it is enabling—necessary for cell action—but not its cause.”

Some vitamin D but not enough?  The size of the response shrinks.  Still get the response but if you’re severely depleted, you get none at all.
Vitamin D exists in two chemically distinct forms:
Vitamin D2: ergocalciferol
Vitamin D3: cholecalciferol.

D3 is the natural form in animals.
Our skin makes D3 on exposure to UV-B light.

10:19 He explains that we need 4000 to 6000 IU/daily.

VITAMIN D3 DEFICIENCY & CHRONIC DISEASE
Chronic disease is the breakdown of the structure and/or of a body system.
Its origin is usually multifactorial:  Genes, Environment, Nutrition, Infection, 
Toxins, and Injury.  

The body has mechanisms to repair this damage or to fight it at its origin.
And vitamin D is an essential component of many of these mechanisms.
Low Vitamin D status impairs this protective/reparative activity.
The higher the amount of Vitamin D in your system, the better you do when encountering causes.

WORKING DEFINITIONS
1.   A deficiency is a condition in which an inadequate intake of a nutrient results in significant dysfunction or disease.
2.  Nutrient adequacy is the situation in which further increases in intake produce no further reduction in dysfunction or disease.  Nutrient adequacy is not the same as optimal health, as non-nutrient factors also affect the function of body systems.

“All studies, in virtually all nations, irrespective of latitude, show that the majority of the world’s population has inadequate Vitamin D status.”
What are the consequences?

VITAMIN D IMPROVES THESE CONDITIONS
1.  Bone diseases, falls, & fractures.
2.  Hypertension.
3.  Increased risk of cardiac disease & death.
4.  Prematurity, low birth weight, & Caesareans.
5.  Diabetes & metabolic syndrome
6.  Periodontal disease.
7.  Decreased resistance to infection.
8.  Various cancers.
9.  Increased risk of multiple sclerosis.
10.  Increased risk of schizophrenia.
Vitamin D is necessary for all of these tissues to function optimally.
Vitamin D is an integral component of the mechanism whereby cells control gene transcription in response to a variety of extracellular stimuli.
Adequate Vitamin D status enables optimal response to a broad variety of signals.
A deficiency will manifest itself differently, depending upon the tissue being stressed, thus explaining the diversity of responses.
ON FRACTURES: 65 to 85-year-old Brits on adequate Vitamin D showed a 30% reduction in fracture risk.  Not bad.

ON FALLS: 63 to 99-year-olds on falling.  Calcium alone had no effect on falling.  Vitamin D plus Calcium showed a 50% reduction in falling risks. 

BREAST CANCER:  Cites a study that showed Vitamin D provides a 70% reduction in breast cancer. 

CANCER RISK:  77% reduction in cancer risk.

Outdoor summer workers commonly have Vitamin D values of 60-80 ng/ml of vitamin blood serum.

Age, 51-70, says you need more vitamin D3.  Tolerable upper intake levels: 10,000.  He states that vitamin D3 needs to be taken with magnesium, but also take it with vitamin K2.  

WHAT ABOUT ADVERSE EFFECTS?  
Adverse effects begin to occur . . . when?  Adverse effects from vitamin D3 can occur after daily 50,000IU for several months, anywhere between 8 to 11 months.  The adverse effect is hypercalcemia, which is excess calcium in the blood where it can harden blood vessels.  You don't want excess calcium in your blood, you want the calcium in your tissue . . . but you don't want excess.  So if you're taking megadoses of vitamin D3 for 8 to 11 months, then back off the vitamin D and incorporate Quercetine into your supplement regime, that or apples or onions.  

PHYSIOLOGY:  Health is more than the absence of disease.


Disease
Dysfunction
Health

Deficiency includes dysfunction.


PHYSIOLOGICAL APPROACH vs. DISEASE AVOIDANCE APPROACH
The physiological approach must inevitably produce a higher estimate of the requirement than the disease avoidance approach: The questions are different.  The goals are different.  The endpoints are different.


Two Frameworks:
 

NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENT

Risk Assessment: concerned with prevention of disease

Physiology: concerned with functional support

For a nutrient study to be informative:

Micro-nutrients function as a component of physiology.

1. Have to determine the basal nutrient status as it is used as an inclusion criterion.

2. Change in intake must be large enough to change nutrient status meaningfully.

3.  Change in nutrient status, not change in intake, must be the independent variable in the hypothesis.

4.  Change in status must be quantified.

5.  Co-nutrient status must be optimized.

Confers an evolutionary advantage – functional optimization.

29:57

Minimizing the need for compensation:

Low Calcium

Matching ancestral intake.  Greater sun exposure.  

Support of a critical physiological function.

    Mother’s milk is capable of providing all the Vitamin D an infant needs.
