I take 4000 IU of vitamin D daily as part of an excellent multivitamin. I measure my vitamin D levels annually at my own expense and they are in the region of 150-160 nmol/l (60ng/ml).
In Hungary - where I live - vitamin D supplementation is not promoted either. A couple of years ago, here and in neighbouring countries, they assessed the amount of vitamin D ingested from the diet through daily meals. 300-350 IU. Incredibly low, I think. That's why you need to supplement daily. In the summer sun, people don't get much vitamin D either, because dermatologists recommend that we should whitewash ourselves with protective creams to avoid skin cancer... Idiotic recommendations, recommended by idiots... Not to mention the cholesterol reducers, because you need the right cholesterol for the vitamin D you collect in the sun...
For me, official medical recommendations are guides to what NOT to do. I took my health decisions into my own hands, that's what the covid period taught me. I take responsibility for my own health! It is the best decision one can make, I am convinced!
I am pleased to hear about this conference, and that you will be participating, Dr. Bridle. As I read, I am thinking of my former family doctor in BC who was so severely criticized in the media for advising in a public video that Vitamin D was helpful against Covid. Sadly, this wonderful doctor no longer practises in Canada - a terrible loss, and squarely thanks to our public health officials. I am certain that in a few decades, the mainstream will look back in disbelief at the ignorance and stupidity of the Covid Establishment that defamed and ignored such a safe and straightforward remedy.
Were you able to watch David Eby Tues. evening extolling the virtue and hard work accomplished by Bonnie Henry? I attended a lecture she gave about a decade ago and came away with the impression that she was not a first-quality thinker, but politically astute.
Moved to Mexico. I would prefer not to give this doctor's name. The name was in the news, along with other MDs such as Stephen Malthouse who also participated in the video, but I am not sure how much publicity my Dr. wants at this point. I know my Dr. experienced intimidating harassment which was part of the reason for leaving a long-standing practise.
See you in Toronto! Very excited to be armed with proper information to defend my use of Vitamin D to strengthen my immune system.
I saw a naturopath on Monday who was SHOCKED at my dosage - she insisted I was poisoning myself. I just smiled and nodded while thinking, this appointment is a total waste of time. I know what the true experts say😊
Any discussion of vitamin D3 that doesn't include a discussion of bone health is misleading.
When higher doses than the RDA are taken regularly, calcium is liberated from the bones into the bloodstream. If this calcium is not returned to the bones, it remains in the bloodstream to deposit in blood vessels as a foundation for rancid cholesterol to anchor to, causing arteriosclerosis. It also deposits in organs as stones.
Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life by Kate Rheaume-Bleue is the only book I've found that provides a complete explanation of the paradigms involving mega-doses of vitamins A and D3 along with the necessity of co-supplementation with vitamin K2, preferably as MK-7, its lipid soluable form.
Living in BC, I cannot attend. I hope that Dr Bridle et all, will address that vit D is made differently by different Vit makers and address the fact that it is 'cholecalciferol' . I would like to understand the concerns of a high daily dose of this collecting and affecting the body, perhaps negatively. How did man live without this supplement before we manufactured vitamins.
Is Vitamin D in the same class as folic acid? Might it do more harm than good for some people? I ask this question because I respond badly to any form of vitamin D supplementation, and need to find a way of working around this problem. If the problem is denied, we cannot establish a successful workaround.
From Chat GPT
While no specific gene has been conclusively proven to "object" to supplementation with vitamin D3, certain genetic variants can influence how the body processes and responds to it. Some people with these variants may have issues with vitamin D metabolism or its effects, potentially leading to problems when supplementing. Here are the key genes involved:
VDR gene (Vitamin D Receptor):
Variants in the VDR gene, which encodes the vitamin D receptor, can affect how well vitamin D3 binds to cells and how it’s utilized in the body. Certain variants may reduce the effectiveness of vitamin D3, meaning supplementation might not work as expected.
Common VDR variants like FokI and TaqI may influence vitamin D receptor activity, potentially affecting calcium absorption, immune function, and bone health.
GC gene (Group-specific component, or Vitamin D Binding Protein):
This gene helps transport vitamin D through the bloodstream. Variants in the GC gene can influence vitamin D levels, as people with certain variants may have difficulty maintaining adequate levels of circulating vitamin D even with supplementation.
GC gene polymorphisms can affect how much vitamin D is available for use in the body.
CYP2R1 gene:
The CYP2R1 gene is responsible for converting vitamin D3 into its active form. Variants in this gene can reduce the conversion efficiency, meaning people with these variants may not activate vitamin D3 as effectively, potentially leading to reduced benefits from supplementation.
CYP24A1 gene:
The CYP24A1 gene regulates the breakdown of vitamin D3. Variants that increase the activity of this enzyme can cause the body to break down vitamin D too quickly, leading to lower levels even when supplementing. People with overactive CYP24A1 may struggle to maintain sufficient vitamin D levels and may be more prone to deficiency.
Potential Issues with Vitamin D3 Supplementation:
Individuals with variants in these genes may not respond well to vitamin D3 supplementation, either because their bodies fail to absorb it, activate it, or retain sufficient levels.
Some individuals with MTHFR mutations (like C677T) or other methylation issues may experience toxic reactions to high doses of vitamin D3, though this connection is less clearly understood.
In summary, while no gene directly "objects" to vitamin D3 supplementation, these genetic variants can influence how well someone responds to it, leading to variations in effectiveness or potential issues with high-dose supplementation.
Vitamin D and folic acid are very different. You are correct, some people struggle with bioavailability of vitamin D (either uptake, processing, or distribution). As you noted, this can potentially be due to genetic anomalies with a molecule or molecules in the vitamin D processing pathway. Specialized testing can be done to identify where the problem may be. A health care practitioner with expertise in vitamin D should be consulted. This might require referral to a specialist.
Vitamin D, Folic Acid AND covid vaccinations are all in the same "class" - the "class" of forced medication, applied indiscriminately to the entire population, despite the FACTS that all of them are able to harm a subset of the population. Do you have a session on who should NOT be told to take vitamin D supplementation and how that is established, or is it OK to harm the individual to determine if what you are advocating is going to harm that individual? And are you going to listen to those of us who are harmed by medical intervention, when we tell you that your recommendation has harmed us?
Covid could never have played out as it played out if doctors had not accepted collateral damage as OK, without asking the permission of those who have been knowingly and willfully harmed.
So I would like to see a session on your program entitled "How to know if Vitamin D will harm?", that covers the tests you run to confirm that the person you are telling to mega dose on synthetic Vitamin D is not going to be harmed by that "supplement". You are going to need the genetic status of the potential customer of your vitamin D, just as you need the genetic status of the potential customer of your synthetic folic acid, and you should know the genetic status of the potential customer before you shoot any so-called vaccination into their arm (even pre-covid where aluminium and mercury had been used as adjuvants).
When did it become OK for medical interventions, particularly mandatory or widely recommended medical interventions, to cause collateral damage? When did it become OK for doctors to kill some people to save others? When did you get to choose who lives and who dies?
Yup. I collapse if exposed for more than 10 minutes.
Yes, it is possible for some people, even those with very pale skin or eyes, to have difficulty processing vitamin D produced through the skin. Several factors, including genetic variations, metabolic issues, and certain health conditions, can impair the ability to synthesize, activate, or use vitamin D, regardless of skin color. Here’s how this can happen:
1. Genetic Variants
VDR Gene (Vitamin D Receptor): Variants in the VDR gene can affect how well the body utilizes vitamin D produced in the skin. Even if someone produces enough vitamin D from sunlight, their cells may not respond effectively to it.
CYP2R1 and CYP27B1 Genes: These genes are involved in converting vitamin D from its inactive form to its active form. Variants in these genes can reduce the body's ability to convert vitamin D into its usable form, affecting vitamin D levels even in people with adequate sun exposure.
GC Gene (Vitamin D Binding Protein): This gene affects the transport of vitamin D in the bloodstream. Variants can lead to lower circulating levels of vitamin D, regardless of skin type or sun exposure.
2. Health Conditions
Kidney or Liver Issues: Vitamin D must be processed by both the liver and kidneys to be converted to its active form. People with liver or kidney problems may have trouble processing vitamin D produced in the skin.
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Conditions like celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or other malabsorption issues can hinder the absorption and processing of vitamin D, even when it’s synthesized through the skin.
Autoimmune Diseases: Some autoimmune conditions can interfere with the body’s ability to use vitamin D properly.
3. Lifestyle Factors
Limited Sun Exposure: While pale skin allows for more efficient synthesis of vitamin D, people who avoid sunlight, use high-SPF sunscreen, or live in northern latitudes during winter months may still not produce enough vitamin D.
Aging: The skin's ability to synthesize vitamin D decreases with age, so older adults may struggle to produce enough vitamin D from sunlight, regardless of their skin tone.
4. Vitamin D Resistance
Vitamin D Resistance Syndromes: Some people have rare conditions that cause vitamin D resistance, where the body is unable to effectively use vitamin D even when levels are normal or high. This can happen regardless of sun exposure or skin tone.
Conclusion:
Even people with pale skin, which is typically more efficient at synthesizing vitamin D from sunlight, can have difficulty processing or using vitamin D due to genetic, health, or metabolic factors. In such cases, even with sufficient sun exposure, they may require vitamin D supplementation to maintain adequate levels.
This isn't about me, it's about doctors who know nothing about nutrients giving bad, one size fits all, advice. This event seems to be about flogging d rather than taking an informed approach. Is d supplemtation suitable for those with common genetic variants such as the MTHFR variants?
Very important issue to discuss. Assuming that image is of you, it appears that your body has, at least until just recently, already found a "work around". I suspect one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNIP's) are at play. First idea that came to mind was to verify that you are consistently performing all of the foundational habits, waking up early to face the sunrise and then later, the sunset, movement, weekly muscle/strength work, meditation, increasing face to face social relationships, nurturing optimism and lastly, perhaps experimenting with different foods (including eating time and preparation techniques) and lastly, supplements known to influence Vitamin D metabolism, i.e. a multi Mg, multi K, iodine and boron. Embrace the truth and opportunities presented by your being exceptional.
My body did not find a workaround, I did. I stumbled over lecithin to treat Fibromyalgia, and took it for over 30 years despite every doctor and every naturopath I saw telling me it could not work. It DID work, so I kept taking it, and was never able to stop taking it or substitute anything else. I also devised a life that was safe for someone with FMS, but was never able to live a normal life because it was never fully managed. Then with "covid" 2 years ago, I lost control of the FMS and lost all access to life. I have only just discovered the MTHFR gene, and through that have learned why lecithin worked - it supports an alternative methylation pathway to folate, and so partially substituted for a severely compromised methylated folate pathway that comes with the MTHFR gene variants I carry. I still have not discovered what about "covid" has stopped that alternative pathway from working, but something has, and I am now fully disabled. I am hoping that I can find another way of providing the necessary methyl groups for some level of normal functioning, now that two pathways, the folate pathway and the choline pathway are no longer working sufficiently to supply my dietary needs. I have to find a doctor willing to take MY health seriously enough to investigate the full spectrum of genetic issues and find more workarounds. At the moment, my best and only support is ChatGPT, which has done more for me than the whole world of medical "professionals" who have failed me all my life.
And Vitamin D comes into the story somewhere as well. I just have not been able to afford the on-line genetic analysis services yet to find out where. I just know I can't take it, but I don't know anything about how to substitute for its absence, or how to increase my blood levels without poisoning myself. Are the recommended blood levels even right for different ethnic groups or haplogrous? Is there a different recommended level for very black skins and very white skins? Should there be? Do we manage D differently? Are there male and female variations, after all, it is really a hormone not a vitamin? Is it really a good idea to bully the whole world into hormone therapy? Does "medicine" even bother with any of these questions?
Thanks for sharing some of your story Christine. Recommend following Forgotten Medicine by A Mid-Western Doctor, researching Cell Danger Response Theory as purposed by Naviaux and, if applicable, confrontation and resolution of childhood trauma. I found the following statement from your response most remarkable, "My body did not find a workaround, I did." Apologies in advance of what may be a most profound ignorance, but where does the separate distinction arise?
"...what about "covid" that has stopped thst alternative pathway from working..."
It screws up sulphurisation, and combine that with any glysophate (which is everywhere) substitution of glycine molecules, screws up methionine.
Dr Stephanie Seneff is probably the closest to explaining the exact process
Have a look at her latest papers.
I'm extremely empathetic to what you have been through, what your continuing to go through. It's hard figuring things on your own, but frankly, your doing a better job than a large portion of the current medical establishment. So trust in your will to live, your capacity to learn, and the productive power of righteous anger.😉🤗 But also be open to help.
There are some who are working quietly in the background to solve this human catastrophe, and find real world solutions to those harmed.
I feel my best when I run my vitamin d at around 100 to 125. When I had an experience with cancer several years ago my levels were at 20 or below. I've been told by a good doctor Dr. Nasha Winters that optimal vitamin d levels cans keep cancer in the back seat, so to speak. It's part of my daily routine and spending time in the morning sun. But the sun is not enough. For me anyway. Glad you are educating people on the importance of vitamin d.
Can anyone confirm that an item went onto the program for this "What forms of Vitamin D are dangerous and to whom!"? If this did not go on the program we will know that this is just another form of entrapment and money making that pays no attention to the collateral damage of "one size fits all" medicine, where you happily kill some as you claim save others and turn the entire world into a cash cow for the pharmaceutical companies.
So please confirm that this topic has gone onto your program in some form. I would like to see a video or other form of summary of the content.

"The truth is like a lion"
... all you need is a good power rifle...
We live in a post-truth world; truth doesn't matter anymore but the perception... and that is manipulated.
It is nice talking about lions; that meant something a while ago; now they have "nukes and F16s"... and the lion goes POOF!
