I agree with you, …
I agree with you, Joel. And I’m happy when I hear people have faith in something other than drugs/ doctors. But my personal focus is preventing health problems in the first place. What I meant in my comment is that you can master your own PHYSICAL health by simply consuming what nature provides in balanced proportions. If you become ill, sure there are vitamins and such which help restore balance in the body, I do not dispute that. Bottom line, I’ve found that thinking simply is the ‘trick’.
@jdw211 NO, I …
@jdw211 NO, I believe you are totally wrong about Vitamin D! I know for a fact that it has helped me throw off the flu this year in one day! I have been taking 4500 units/day for about a year, and I haven’t had a cold since! I am 70! When I felt the flu coming on, I immediately increased my Vit. D to 12000 units/day, for two days, and the symptoms vanished that quickly! This has never happened to me before, that I have been able to throw off the flu like that! I didn’t take the flu shot either!
Some good points …
Some good points here. Seems honest. But I see we get really into the Science of things. I believe it’s because we’ve lost trust in nature. Do you ever see an animal, a tree, or any other living organism besides humans questioning what nature provides? Our Sun is good because it provides. No need for supplements in healthy people. Stop thinking/ worrying about your health obsessively, it’s bad for your health. Don’t hate ‘big Pharma’ for false info, they simply perceive wrongly.
LabCorp is also …
LabCorp is also where I get my testing done. The test itself is called the “25-Hydroxy Vitamin D” test. It measures the amount of active Vitamin D in the blood. At least in my case, I have to specifically add this test to my blood work; Vitamin D levels aren’t usually measured unless you or your doctor specifically requested that they be.
Wed all better …
Wed all better stock up on vitamin D supplements before theyre declared illegal! Im not kidding. In 2010 the EU is all ready to ban high strength vitamins in its member states (look it up). EU claims its for safety reasons (yeah, right). Hot on the EUs heels will be Codex Alimentarius (look that up too). Big Pharma and the powers that be dont want us to self-medicate and be healthy its bad for business.
There are two types …
There are two types of vitamin D one is natural (D3, or cholecalciferol) and one is synthetic (D2, or ergocalciferol). D3 is the same vitamin your body makes when exposed to sunshine. D2 is made by irradiating yeast with ultraviolet light. Supplementation with D3 is a lot safer and more efficient as D2 is poorly absorbed by the body. So when taking a Vit.D supplement, make sure its D3, not D2.
D3 is regular …
D3 is regular vitamin D. Google it for what the 3 means.

great vid!

Where did you get …
Where did you get that info.? I’m a Dental Hygienist and a nutrition nut, and I have never read anything to suggest the claims that you made. I would really be interested…not being ugly about it. I, specifically, worked for a Periodontist, which specializes in the structures surrounding the teeth, i.e. gums and bone. Thanks.
Joel, great video. …
Joel, great video. Thanks for posting it! ng/mL stands for nanograms per mili-liter.
And how do we know …
And how do we know that you know what you are talking about?
Yes, fluoride …
Yes, fluoride actually disrupts the enzyme system and the mechanism involved in keeping gums attached to the teeth. Ingested, it disrupts iodine levels and thyroid function (along with the chlorine in the water). In addition, the glycerin in toothpaste makes a barrier preventing the ingredients in the saliva from repairing tooth enamel.
Unfortunately, most …
Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that the gov’t recommendations are not designed for optimal health; these levels are only the amount that usually prevents obvious disease–there can be a huge difference between RDA & optimal levels. I’m wondering if the statin drugs for lowering cholesterol (another myth–OXIDIZED LDLs are actually the problem) has caused any depression in vitamin D productiiom since sunlight causes the cholesterol in the skin to begin the vitamin D production process.

Most don’t get much sun in the winter!
I’ve been taking …
I’ve been taking 10,000 IU’s in supplement form (2 5,000 IU softgels) every day for the past 3 years and I have not gotten sick once. Not a single cold, flu, etc. I used to fight colds all winter long. I get my levels tested once a year and they’re usually around 60 ng/mL, right in the optimal range – The Vitamin D Council recommends maintaining a level between 50-80 ng/mL. It is absolutely preposterous what the RDA/DRV is (for all nutrients) as set by the FDA, the Fraud & Drug Administration.
why does everyone …
why does everyone still think a pill is the best way. wow are we brainwashed. GET SOME SUN….and maybe a sunbed actually isn’t all that bad for you.
buy D3
buy D3
Vitamin D is no …
Vitamin D is no doubt the most important “hormone”/vitamin in addition to a healthy diet in warding off most illnesses. Interesting point he made about Vitamin D versus FLUORIDE (toxic waste). I wish more people were aware of the benefits of Vitamin D. For years my doctor warned me to stay out of the sun and use sunscreen. I fell for it and was sick with flu every year. I know better now… do not use sunscreen and get some sunshine. It’s healthy in moderation. Haven’t been sick since.
