IVERMECTIN: "it's not the cure for cancer. It's just simply toxic poison" --Kelsey Kinney

This post and presentation is mainly about all the fraud and grift around Ivermectin and telemedicine. 

it's not the cure for cancer it's just simply toxic poison and it's the means to get the people that they knew were not going to take the gene therapy shots under any circumstances to poison themselves just as much if not worse.  --Kelsey Kinney

— Nutrition Detective 🔍 - Dr. Garrett Smith (@NutriDetect) October 10, 2023

Kelsey Kenny, a Registered Dietician, RD, [she's got podcasts] claims that Ivermectin is a double cross; it is a trap designed to lead people into a longer course of poison and ill health.

3:00.  It is said by the red team, "the heroes," that Ivermectin is said to be an antiparasitic, discovered 1979 by Satoshi Amora, who won a Nobel Prize in 2015 for curing onchocerciasis  which is a parasitic disease common in Africa.  Supposedly, Ivermectin is also the cure for COVID, "Wonder drug" which came from Merck, by the way, the "wonder drug" moniker. It was the alternative right if they could only just get this the whole thing COVID nonsense would be done with kind of like the vaccines were sold.

4:28. Ivermectin is not the Cure it's not the cure for anything it's not the cure for covid it's not the cure for cancer it's just simply toxic poison and it's the means to get the people that they knew were not going to take the gene therapy shots under any circumstances to poison themselves just as much if not worse with another toxic pharmaceutical drug.  It's very bad for you.  It's bad.  "Oh, who's that over there?  Oh, it's Bill Gates.  What's he doing?  He's got a tapeworm on his t-shirt there.  What does he have to do with parasites?  I thought he was the COVID jab guy, right?"  Nope.  He's into all sorts of nefarious activities.  He is a part of the parasite to panic too.  To reiterate he was part of the whole marketing scheme the whole intended to poison the blue team, the red team, and everyone in between.  So 

"Once Upon a Time in Greece"  

8:00. This kind of thing isn't new, this psychology psyop isn't new.  I found this example in Greece and see if you can't get the idea as to what happened here.

In 1821 the people of Greece rose up against the Ottoman Empire that had conquered the ailing Roman Empire and its dependent territories in 1453 life under the Turkish yolk had been hard and John Kapodistrias, the man chosen by the Greeks in 1827 to lead their newly liberated nation, faced daunting problems of Industry and education, but on his first arrival he had a more pressing issue: food.

25:00 Activate strong emotions. So we're scared of COVID.

"Safer than aspirin." "Wonder drug."

RESPONSE NEEDS AND VALUES. For the Christian audience, Christian groups were saying, "The Lord gave us Ivermectin." "I am the Lord who heals you," Exodus 15:26.

Paul Marik's interview with RefugeofSinners interview and there's a crucifix on the wall directly behind the hostess. "Ivermectin is a product from nature and a gift from God." And they were playing on the fact that Ivermectin is a soil bacteria and God made it to heal you just ready and waiting in all the feed stores for just such a time, right?

ATTACKING OPPONENTS.

Plenty of that. Easy, low-hanging fruit.

4 PROPAGANDA TECHNIQUES EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW

#1 ACTIVATE STRONG EMOTIONS

Propaganda plays on human emotions--fearb hope, anger, frustration, and sympathy to direct people toward a desired goal propaganda is a mind game.

#2 SIMPLIFY INFORMATION AND IDEAS

Successful propaganda tells simple stories that are familiar and trusted often using metaphors imagery repetition and short phrases to make them seem true and to substitute  critical thinking

#3 RESPOND TO NEEDS AND VALUES

Creative effective propaganda that appeals directly to the needs, hopes, and fears of specific groups makes it personal and relevant and also makes people pay attention and absorb information.

#4 ATTACKING OPPONENTS Attacking opponents creates a US versus them mentality which suppresses the consideration of more complex information and ideas people are naturally attracted to conflict which can serve as a form of political Warfare to discredit people or groups.

26:33 More counter-resistance, The ReAwaken Tour with all sorts of doctors prescribing Ivermectin. World Ivermectin Day, July 29, 2023. She works for the W.H.O. by the way. Who is that? FLCCC Alliance, David . . . .  There was a very specific reason they were using horses to Market or Ivermectin.

27:22. There are rumors that Trump's vaccine actually had hydroxychloroquine Ivermectin azithromycin doxycycline and zinc in it as a way to market to MAGA people.  

Have to admit that this is the first list of benefits I've seen regarding Ivermectin. At least there's a list. No one online has been able to do this.

27:58. America's Frontline Doctors: "I got Ivermectin and I started feeling better the next day real story of how Frontline intervention saved lives."  

IVERMECTIN RESEARCH

JAPANESE TRADING AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

THE RESEARCH FOUND:

ANTIVIRAL EFFECT AGAINST OMICRON

ANTIVIRAL EFFECT AGAINST OTHER VARIANTS

They weren't allowed to test Ivermectin on humans in the United States before, so why now?  Who's letting them do that?  So who is using the Emergency Use Authorization there?  

28:40. Because it was so toxic and even if they did it would be very bad because this drug is so poisonous if you search Ivermectin and cancer like they were telling everybody to do people who have no scientific training or discernment as studies go would see a bunch of cell studies saying that I remember them killed cancer cells okay so if it works it's like chemotherapy you could put any toxin on a dish of already stressed out cells, rock salt, bleach.  You could put some mercury in there; put vitamin A.  You can say it kills the cancer cells, and you can talk about all sorts of mechanisms CD38 and Janus kinase, mTOR, and p53 telomerase, all sorts of things, and it's just poison, its just poison.  And I put a lot of fancy words on that, but take it from a molecular biologist a lot of cell studies of cancer cells cell studies in a Petri dish are absolute garbage.

30:08. Now let's look into some of the heroes who are helping people with the long COVID.  Only $2390.  

Post-vaccine treatment protocol: Intermittent fasting and Ivermectin.

HCQ and Tai Chi 

Hyperbaric O2 therapy.  

Only $1,500 COVID hero, Dr. Pierre Kory.  

From Open Payments:

Dr. McCullough. 

31:00. It's like all toxic drugs; it's like super bad.  PGP inhibitors?  So is he getting paid to promote Ivermectin? Maybe maybe.

32:00. Simone Gold head of the AFLDS.  So if you want to talk to the amazing, brave Simone Gold, who went to jail, it's only $5,000 and you have a 60% chance of inquiries.  

Dr. Gold rejects about 40% of inquiries as not benefiting from her extreme level of attention.  If Dr. Gold recommends taking your case, the cost is typically $25,000.  For cases that require ongoing attention (1 to 6 months), the cost is $50,000.  

She's got a doctorate in medicine and is a lawyer?  I don't know how anybody has time for that and she runs AFLDS?  So if that's too expensive you can get the Ivermectin from all these different pet stores and feed stores.  

"Medicines your old doctor won't tell you about."  O, and they have a pharmacy that they work with you too.  Pharmacy will work with you to get off your pharma they. ALL DAY CHEMIST.  Here is a very popular option from India where you don't need a prescription for Ivermectin.  And here is Stella Immanuel's little operation where she'll really help you stick it's a big Pharma by prescribing oh Fran drip throw mice in fluconazole and Ivermectin 

34:31.  Dr. Stella Immanuel will sell you her own emergency preparedness of ivermectin and help you stick it to Big Pharma by prescribing you Flagylozofran, azithrimycin, Fluconozel, and Ivermectin, etc. all that stuff.  Or you could go on David avocado wolves television Graham and click on this and buy Sasquatch stickers and Lifesavers sell cringe oh my gosh and they're all actually just Ivermectin tablets and somehow they're all getting away with it just by calling it Ivermectin.  If you're not under a doctor's care they'll tell you to go to the animal route.  Sometimes they tell you that 

Patients with neurodegenerative diseases (ALS, Alzheimers, MS, et al) are often found to have high levels of very toxic metals in their bodies. EDTA removes them

ALS and Alzheimer's [is associated] with Mercury (there is a number of other metals related to the latter, such as aluminum) Ferraro, 2016.

Mercury and Aluminum are heavy metal ingredients often found in vaccines.  Which would make EDTA an excellent chelator if you've been vaccinated. 

   

Good historical details on EDTA. 

*  It was first used after World War II when sailors from the Navy developed lead poisoning from ship paint (Flora and Pachauri, 2010).

*  FDA approved in the 1950s to treat heavy metal poisoning.

*  More recently has been used in the alternative treatment of cardiovascular neurodegenerative diseases since these have been associated with metal toxicity (Kontoghiorhes, 2013).

At 2:50, she explains that in tiny amounts some heavy metals are important for maintaining homeostasis, like zinc, copper 25 mcg, and iron, but if too much they become toxic.  

METALS INTERFERE WITH PROTEIN FUNCTION

1.  Heavy metals with a positive charge replace hydrogens within the proteins.

2.  This altars the protein's character, preventing its corresponding enzyme from carrying out metabolic processes.

3.  The metals are also in a more stable state within the protein complex and a (neutral charge).

4.  Due to #2 and 3, this new compound cannot be broken down.

5.  These metal protein complexes build up in tissues and cause dysfunction.

6.   Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity include GI disorders ataxia lung disease and much more (Duruibe, et al, 2007). 

EDTA is a very effective against rid of these metals in our tissue build up because it is a very strong chelating agent chelation is the bonding of a ligand to ions and there are other chelating agents that are used for metal detoxification that can include DMSA and DMPS.  There are different chelating agents because they address different heavy metals more effectively.  EDTA comes in two forms most commonly as calcium disodium irritate and what it does if you check out the molecules on the right the metal ion displaces the calcium within the molecule and then that final protein metal complex or the new EDTA complex can get flushed out of the body just from urine the other form of EDTA is sodium meditate but it's less commonly used.

TARGETED DISEASES

1.  Mainly used as a heavy metal detoxifier.  In terms of brain health, it is used to treat neurotoxicity.  It can also act as an antioxidant since heavy metals promote the creation of free radical species that can destroy DNA and cells (Fulgenzi and Ferrero), 2019.

2.  EDTA may be able to cross the blood-brain barrier, BBB, as well.

3.  Patients with ND are often found to have high levels or of various toxic metals and EDTA therapy reduced their ND symptoms.

   * Ms associated with gadolinium (Fulgenzi and Ferrero), 2019.

   *  Parkinson's associated with lead.

   *  ALS and Alzheimer's [is associated] with Mercury (there is a number of other metals related to the latter, such as aluminum) Ferraro, 2016.

8:35. Everyone is exposed to such heavy metal on a daily basis.  basis.  So pretty much anyone can benefit from chelation therapy with EDTA because, you know, even if we might seem healthy, such heavy metals can have an effect on our body and be causing dysfunction in ways we don't even realize.  Remember what she said earlier, 

5.  These metal protein complexes build up in tissues and cause dysfunction. 

9:33. Supplementation isn't really an option because it isn't absorbed well in the GI tract so it very often has to be administered intravenously so you're in samples are taking before and after treatment to observe the level of detox and metals which is really cool because you can see the progress in the work that your body is doing to get rid of that metal with the help of EDTA right as it's happening.

And lastly, EDTA therapy is often administered with a combination of minerals and vitamins, including B vitamins, ascorbic acid, zinc, copper, iron, and that is because EDTA isn't a super specific chelating agent so it can actually remove some of the beneficial minerals of your body.  So we want to make sure that that is replenished If you're receiving that therapy.

DR. TONI BARK: On Cancer, Chemo, and Mebendozale

Never heard of Dr. Toni Bark until this morning.  She passed in 2020, 1959-2020.  She had a Facebook page.  Sounds like her advocacy here is for childhood vaccines, like MMR, and others.  She's sharp.  She died of cancer.

Dr. Toni Bark's testimony at the Washington House Health Care & Welfare Committee

— Jessica Rojas 🇺🇸💪 (@catsscareme2021) December 24, 2023

It's interesting to learn that someone who questions the vaccines, the childhood vaccines, and their schedule, embrace chemotherapy after she did immunotherapy.  That's the thing about knowing anyone.  You never know what therapeutics they're willing to accept to embrace or that they think will heal their condition.  I recommend vitamin D and C to most people.  And none of them have heeded my advice.  They don't know what heals because they hadn't thought of their condition before, as though it has struck them by surprise.  But my first guess would be to target diet since that is what brought them to the point of despair.  

She says that she was on mebendazole, a deworming agent like Fenbendozale, that prevents microtubule formation.  Sounds like Mebendazole could be better for human cancers.

While fenbendazole for human cancer has gained more popularity with some interesting fenbendazole cancer success stories, some research suggests mebendazole might be more effective for treating different types of tumors. For example, research studies have shown that mebendazole could be more effective for brain, prostate, and ovarian cancers. 

She read Tripping Over the Truth: How the Metabolic Theory of Cancer Is Overturning One of Medicines Most Entrenched Paradigms, Travis Christofferson, Foreword by Dominic D'Agostino, 2019.  She said that she responded the best to chemotherapy.  Yes, that is always the case.  Cancerous tumors will always shrink initially.  Always.  But oncologists are focused only on cancer cells, not healthy cells.  And chemo will definitely destroy cancer cells but they also destroy healthy cells.  Think of chemo as a shotgun approach; it blasts the entire body.  It's not targeted despite what oncologists claim.  It's one reason why they need to adjust medication down the line in the therapy.  The other reason they need to adjust medication is because the body adjusts to the chemo: it no longer responds to the chemo.  So when oncologists adjust it, it means they're giving the patient a stronger dosage of a poison that kills both healthy and cancerous tissue.  It's a game that point, like Russian Roulette.  

 

She said she had gastric ulcers.  Zinc Carnosine specifically targets gastric ulcers.  

best sources of copper are liver, oysters, shiitake mushrooms, pure chocolate not the stuff watered down with sugar and milk, and spirulina

 

For everything from anemia to headaches to allergies to having healthy bones and just feeling great all the time, copper is an incredibly important nutrient and this is how to know if you're getting enough.

How to manage your copper status to make sure you're getting enough, not too much, and fix any problems and make sure that whatever your solutions are that they're working.  So copper, when you do not have enough you can get anemia that looks just like iron deficiency anemia but isn't, or that looks just like B12 and folate deficiency anemia, but isn't.  In fact, you can get malabsorption of iron from copper deficiency that actually causes iron deficiency, and the problem might not be that you don't have enough iron in your diet, it might be that you're not getting enough copper in your diet to absorb the iron, so you could have anemia from that as well as the many other problems of iron deficiency itself.  You can have low white blood cells, especially in neutrophils; you can have high cholesterol; you could get osteoporosis because copper is needed to support your bones.  You could get histamine intolerance or a greater burden of allergies than you would otherwise have.  You could have poor pigmentation of your skin and hair and neurotransmitter imbalances, like low adrenaline or high serotonin that might leave you feeling like you're not your best.  So what do you do about this?

1:44. Well, the first thing is look at your diet and see whether the dietary pattern that you have is supporting getting enough copper.  The absolute best sources of copper are liver, oysters, shiitake mushrooms, pure chocolate not the stuff watered down with sugar and milk, and spirulina.  A tier below that of very good sources of copper are most shellfish besides oysters, remember oysters are the best, whole grains, legumes, and potatoes.  Diets that are low in these foods are likely to contribute to a copper deficiency, but soil variation is very large, and all these foods, if they are grown in low copper soil, could be much less likely to give you enough copper.  And if you're consuming--if you're not consuming enough of those foods and you are consuming foods from copper-deficient soils, then that makes you very predisposed to copper deficiency.  Zinc supplementation, especially over 45 mg a day and with a zinc-to-copper ratio greater than 15 to 1, can be a cause of copper deficiency.  Methylation can be a cause of copper deficiency, and I'll link in the description of this episode to my methylation resources.  

SOURCES THAT CAUSE COPPER DEFICIENCY

3:08. Other sources of copper deficiency that are not dietary in nature include the use of antacids, proton pump inhibitors, gastric bypass surgery, and any digestive problems that are focused on the upper part of the GI tract like the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine.  And although there's limited evidence for this, it seems to be the case that high doses of Vitamin C can impair copper absorption.  

COPPER TOXICITY?

On the other hand, there is copper toxicity in general from diet.  I do not believe copper toxicity is a concern.  If you are supplementing with copper over 10 mg, that could pose a potential risk of copper toxicity.  I think it's best to keep copper supplements under 10 mg,  preferably under 3 mg a day and it's always best to get your copper from food, and when you do you're benefiting by the fact that the copper is mixed with other minerals, especially zinc, which protects against copper toxicity.  It's extremely unlikely to get copper toxicity from food. There are high copper levels in certain water systems, but when they get to the point where they can cause copper toxicity usually drinking that water is going to make you nauseated and it's usually leaving blue colors all over the place.  If it's really bad, you can see the blue even coming out in your clothing; so usually you have a warning sign, and certainly using a water filter will generally protect you against too much copper coming from your water supply. 

COPPER TESTS 

4:51. The most important test of copper status is serum copper this can be supplemented with serum ceruloplasmin; they tend to go together.  And so you're usually not getting additional information by combining them. And serum copper tends to be more sensitive to deficiency, so you always want to at least get serum copper but it can be helpful to corroborate it with serum ceruloplasmin.  But always get serum copper give that the priority in general low serum copper and low serum ceruloplasmin indicated copper deficiency most of the time.  From what I've seen, I think you want to tend to be in the middle of the range because I have seen indications of copper deficiency when people are in the lower 20 or 30% of the range.  It's important to note a a couple limitations of these tests first estrogen increases serum ceruloplasmin and tends to increase serum copper as well and that means that there's going to be some fluctuation of copper levels with the menstrual cycle and copper levels are generally twice hi during pregnancy as they are for women who are not pregnant and using hormone replacement therapy estrogen and HRT can raise copper levels by 30 to 90%, and unfortunately there really isn't any clear research to develop a separate reference range for women experiencing high estrogen under these conditions, so what we can say is that if your copper levels are running a little high and you can explain it with estrogen you can probably dismiss it because it's normal.  It's probably all the more true in women than in men that you want to be at least towards the middle of the range for copper because if you're at the low and of the range and that might be close to deficiency that's all the more true if you would expect your estrogen levels to be bringing the copper up higher.

GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO COPPER DEFICIENCY

There are two genetic disorders of copper metabolism Menkes Disease and Wilson's Disease

CHEMOTHERAPY CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO VITAMIN D3

from Chris Beat Cancer.

BIG TAKEAWAYS

Sunshine is the best source of vitamin D, but most people don’t get enough sun, especially in the winter. That’s where supplementation comes in.

The ideal vitamin D blood level for viral infection prevention is above 50 ng/ml.

The target vitamin D blood level for cancer prevention and healing is over 40 ng/ml, but higher, between 60-100 ng/ml might be better.

Magnesium, K2, exercise, zinc, resveratrol, curcumin and omega-3’s all help vitamin D3 work better.

I take 5,000 to 10,000 IU of D3 per day depending on the season.

Children can safely take 1,000 IU of D3 per 25lbs of body weight per day.

Vitamin D3 is healthy for humans and rats at appropriate doses.

AN OPTIMAL BLOOD LEVEL OF VITAMIN D IS ESSENTIAL FOR A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM 

We have an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency. It’s estimated that nearly half of Americans have “insufficient” vitamin D levels (under 29 ng/ml) and 14 percent are deficient (under 19.6 ng/ml).

Vitamin D blood levels of 50 ng/ml or higher have been found to protect against respiratory infections like influenza or corona-type viruses. D3

Vitamin D increases the production of cathelicidins, anti-microbial peptides that destroy viruses, bacteria, parasites, and pathogens.

Adequate sunshine and/or supplementing with Vitamin D3 appears to be one of the cheapest and best ways to support your innate immune system against flu and corona-type viruses.

A review of 25 trials published in the British Medical Journal in 2017 concluded that vitamin D supplementation clearly protects against acute respiratory tract infections, especially for those deficient in D3.

Researchers found that daily or weekly dosing was more effective than a large one-time dose.

The review indicated that for every four people given vitamin D one case of respiratory infection was prevented. Vaccination typically must be given to 44 people to prevent one case of respiratory infection. Based on this, it appears that Vitamin D supplementation might be 10 times more effective at preventing the flu than a flu shot.

A randomized trial that gave vitamin D3 to Japanese schoolchildren found that those who were given 1200 IU of vitamin D per day from December through March had nearly half as many cases (10% vs 18%) of influenza A than those in the placebo group. The children taking D3 also had fewer asthma attacks (2 vs 12).

Supplementing with 5,000–10,000 IU per day of D3 may be necessary to reach protective blood levels, depending on multiple factors, which I discuss below.

VITAMIN D for CANCER PREVENTION AND HEALING 

In 2016, a landmark study published in PLOS ONE found that women over 55 with blood concentrations of vitamin D higher than 40ng/ml, had a 67% lower risk of cancer compared to women with levels lower than 20ng/ml.

“We have quantitated the ability of adequate amounts of vitamin D to prevent all types of invasive cancer combined, which had been terra incognita until the publication of this paper,” said Cedric Garland, researcher, and adjunct professor at the UC San Diego School of Medicine Department of Family Medicine and Public Health. (Note: they excluded skin cancer)

The RESEARCHERS THAT OPTIMAL LEVELS FOR CANCER PREVENTION ARE BETWEEN 40 and 60ng/ml, (100-150 nmol/L) AND THAT MOST CANCERS OCCUR IN PEOPLE WITH VITAMIN D BLOOD LEVELS BETWEEN 10 and 40ng/ml.

The study did not reveal whether supplementation or sun exposure was the best way to obtain vitamin D. However, the researchers concluded that vitamin D only starts protecting against cancer once you get your blood level up to 40 ng/ml. They noted that more health benefits were observed at even higher levels.

Another study from 2015 showed a 55% lower risk of colorectal cancer in women with vitamin D concentrations of 30ng/ml or higher compared to those lower than 18ng/ml.

A 2018 pooled analysis of 17 studies found that D levels between 40-50 ng/ml (75-100 nmol/L) are related to a statistically significant, substantially lower colorectal cancer risk in women.

HIGHER THAN 60ng/ml COULD BE EVEN BETTER . . .  A 2005 study found that women with blood concentrations of vitamin D higher than 60ng/ml had an 83% reduction in breast cancer compared with those lower than 20ng/ml.

I’ve observed many doctors and experts recommend that cancer patients shoot for the 60-80 ng/ml range. And even though most of these studies involved women, I think we can safely assume that men will also drive the same anti-cancer benefits from vitamin D.

D3 SUPPLEMENTATION INCREASES SURVIVAL IN P53-POSITIVE DIGESTIVE CANCERS 

A 2023 study of 2000 IU D3 supplementation per day for patients with digestive tract cancers (esophageal, gastric, small bowel, and colorectal), found that 5-year relapse-free survival was almost three times higher in the vitamin D group (80.9%) than the placebo group (30.6%) specifically for patients that were “p53-immunoreactive,” which means they had anti-p53 antibodies in serum and p53 protein in more than 99% of cancer cells tested.

THE SUNSHINE VITAMIN (If you can get it)
The best source of vitamin D is sunshine, and sunshine produces a cascade of health benefits beyond vitamin D production. For this reason, aim for 10-20 minutes of sunshine per day on as much of your body as possible.

But unfortunately, it’s not that simple, the amount of D3 you can get from the sun is determined by multiple factors: your age, your BMI, your skin tone, your distance from the equator, the season of the year, and the weather.

If you live above 37 degrees north of the equator – in the U.S., that’s north of Washington, D.C., and north of the Utah/Arizona border – you probably aren’t getting enough UVB exposure to naturally produce adequate amounts of vitamin D year-round.

For example, a fair-skinned person living in New York gets about 1,000 IU of D3 in about 4 minutes on a sunny day in July. That’s really good! But in January however, it would take them ten times longer, about 40 minutes of sunshine. If it’s cloudy or smoggy, that can block as much as 60% of D3-producing UV rays from the sun.

A person with dark skin needs about four times more sunshine to produce the same amount of D3 as a fair-skinned person. Obese people have been found to have 50% less D3 in their blood than non-obese people. And a 70-year-old makes about 75% less D3 than a 20-year-old.

Basically, you need an advanced degree in calculus to figure out how much vitamin D3 you can actually get from sunshine. I try to get a few minutes of sunshine every day, and I take a D3 supplement year-round.

DOES SUNSCREEN BLOCK D3 PRODUCTION?

Some sources claim that sunscreen with SPF 8 blocks vitamin D3 production by 95% and that SPF 15 or more blocks vitamin D3 by 99%. There is debate about this. I suggest, if you’re going to be in the sun all day, like at the beach, give your skin a few minutes of sunshine before applying sunblock. This is what I do.

Pro Tip: There is a smartphone app called D Minder Pro, which tells you how much vitamin D you will absorb on any given day based on your time in the sun, your location, the weather, your age, skin type, etc.

SOME PEOPLE CAN'T GET D FROM SUNSHINE 
Intracellular bacteria can block Vitamin D Receptors preventing absorption of vitamin D. Inflammatory and autoimmune diseases accompanied by low 25 (OH)D and high 1,25 (OH)2D is indicative of this phenomenon. EBV, HIV, TB, aspergillus fumigatus, and Mycobacterium leprae are known to lower or block Vitamin D Receptor activity. Vitamin D possesses antimicrobial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species and was even used to treat tuberculosis before antibiotics came along. Vitamin D supplementation could help increase the activity of Vitamin D Receptors by killing intracellular bacteria.

ACTION STEPS
Check your vitamin D3 level. You can order a test kit from home at Grassroots Health. 

Your doctor can also order a vitamin D panel with your next set of blood work, or you can get it done at a walk-in testing clinic in your area. Order through www.yourlabwork.com. 

Depending on your current D3 level and your target level, you could take 1,000-10,000 IU per day, then retest in 30-90 days and adjust accordingly. It may take a few months to get your blood levels up.

VITAMIN D CO-FACTORS 
You need magnesium to absorb vitamin D. Magnesium deficiency shuts down the vitamin D synthesis and metabolism pathway. Plant foods with high levels of magnesium are dark leafy greens, beans, nuts, avocados, and whole grains. Megafood also makes a great whole-food magnesium supplement.

Exercise, resveratrol, zinc, omega-3s, quercetin, and curcumin also help increase vitamin D absorption.

WHAT ABOUT K2?
K2 is not necessary for D3 absorption, but vitamin D increases calcium absorption and K2 helps your body incorporate calcium into your teeth and bones and prevents it from building up in the wrong places, like your arteries.

K2 is present in animal foods and fermented plant foods like natto and sauerkraut. Vegetables are rich in K1 which is converted to K2 by bacteria in your gut. If you are taking high doses of D3 you may need to supplement with K2.

Generally speaking, it is recommended that for every 5,000-10,000 IU of D3 you take, also take 100 mcg of K2 mk7. Some research indicates that it may be better to take D3 and K2 separately instead of together. The jury is still out on that…

WHAT FORM TO TAKE?
I recommend vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol. That is the form that has been widely tested on humans for decades. One brand I don’t recommend is Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw D3, which does not contain cholecalciferol. I took that supplement for over a year and it did not raise my D3 levels.

I take vitamin D3 5000 IU gelcaps from Better Way Health.  I like their products, and as an affiliate partner, I negotiated a discount for my readers. You can use the coupon code “chris” to get 10% off your order. If you sign up for auto-ship, you’ll save another 15%, for a total of 25% off your order every month. I also take their Curcumin Extra Strength (C3 Complex with Bioperine) for its anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory benefits and their Beta Glucans for additional immune support.

There are several other brands of D3 I like in my Amazon store (www.chrisbeatcancer.com/amazon) like Pure Therapro Vegan 3 and Thorne liquid D3 with K2. Liquid D3 drops are easier to give to kids.

D3 MEGADOSING STRATEGY 
If your D3 level is in the danger zone (under 19.6 ng/ml) and you want to get it up quickly, you may benefit from megadosing with 50,000-100,000 IU per day for 7 days then continuing with 50,000 IU once per week or 5,000-10,000 IU per day. Biotech Pharmacal D-50 is a 50,000 IU D3 capsule designed for megadosing and/or once-per-week supplementation.

IS D3 RAT POISON?
Yes, cholecalciferol is used as rat poison. But don’t panic. As you know, with all things, the dose determines the poison. For example, drinking three gallons of water in an hour is likely to kill you. The D3 dose given to poison rats is the equivalent of over 4 million IU for a human. That would be like taking 2000 capsules of 2000 IU D3. The reason D3 is used to kill rats is because, unlike many other poisonous compounds, it’s essentially tasteless. It can be mixed into rat bait and they will actually eat it. But guess what happens when rats are given appropriate doses of D3 for their body weight.  Their health improves! Like increases in bone mass and strength, improved insulin resistance, and even preventing fatty liver and high blood pressure caused by eating a Western diet.
