  Speaker 1: This is a disruptor's podcast. Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: dedicated to revealing the profound connections between body, mind, and spirit,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: where we believe that true wellness arises from addressing the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: root causes of our health challenges, not just masking the symptoms.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Here we dive deep into how holistic approaches such as
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: advanced chiropractic care, personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: transform your life. Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. This is a really
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: interesting and fascinating article on Vitamin D and pain relief.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: And I thought, wow, Okay, this is kind of cool,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and there's some interesting things in here that we're to
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: point out, but it is fascinating what they do come
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to grips with and some of the studies that they did.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, that's actually pretty neat stuff. Though
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: they may not I might understand why they're seeing what
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: they're seeing, it is at least comforting that they're doing
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: these kinds of things. So as we move into this article,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it's going to talk about Hey, most trials that they
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: reviewed on this particular article on Vitamin D and pain
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: had calcium supplementation, I thought, well, neat, they didn't really
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: necessarily tell what kind of calcium, but at least they
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: pointed that out, and I thought that was fascinating. And
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: so the dosing schedules that they also pointed out were
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: quite a bit different each article. And we're going to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: get to that towards the end because they actually talk
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: about massive doses of vitamin D actually causing osteoporosis or
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: we're to take a stab at that one as well.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: So the five individuals who may derive pain relief. So
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: if you're out there and you're thinking, man, I'm in
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of pain and I'm listening to this article
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: on vitamin D maybe it'll help me. Well, this is
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: what they found those with documented osteoporosis and poor bone health.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure how you would know if you had
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: poor bone health. In this particular group, low vitamin D
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: levels are linked to an increased pain. So they're saying
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that if you have osteoporosis and they do a blood
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: test that shows that you indeed have low vitamin D levels,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you may do very well with vitamin D. Now let's
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: just review real quick. If this is your first time
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: listening to any of my podcasts, I have talked at
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: length on vitamin D and in many different ways as
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: well as calcium. Vitamin D, as some will know, is
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a fat soluble vitamin, and if you didn't know, there
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: are more than fifty different vitamin d's in the human body,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and we make them. D one is in the skin,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: converted to D two, and then D two goes to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the liver, and then it's converted to D three. D
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: three then goes to tissues and is stored now that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: same D three that we would take in a supplement typically,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and there will be some supplements with D two as well.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Those help pull calcium through the gut wall so that
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you can absorb calcium. Well. Many foods that have vitamin
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: D have pretty low international units of vitamin D. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to give an example, if you've never heard of an
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: international unit, that usually is describing a fat substance or
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: an oil, and so you're going to see vitamin A,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: vitamin E, vitamin D all listed in terms of international
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: units of whatever quantity, and so a typical vitamin D
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: supplement you're going to find is like five thousand international
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: units and is going to be one hundred and twenty
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: five micrograms, so very small amount. So many foods will
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: have very tiny amounts of vitamin D because we find
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: in nature, where nature makes vitamin D, it tends to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: be very synergistic in the body, so we don't need much.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And while that is the case, I am always suspicious.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I will look up, oh, chemical structures of molecules that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: man makes, and then you look up the same chemical
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: structure that nature makes, and they tend to be mirror
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: images of each other. Man doesn't seem to make this
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the exact same structure. If you will, it is a
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: mirror image. So to give you just a real world example,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: so we kind of say, well, why does that even matter. Well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: let's say that I have a right handed glove and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that's all I have. But I have two right handed gloves,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and yet I have a left hand and a right hand.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Will that glove go backwards on my left hand? Yes,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: it would. If it's a knitted glove, it doesn't matter
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: at all they're neither left nor right because they'll bow
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it bend both ways easily. But let's say you take
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a work glove, a leather glove that is definitely a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: right hand glove and you put it on your left hand,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: will it bend the opposite way that it's supposed to? Yes,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it will. Is it is functional? Probably not, especially if
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: you're like my leather gloves that have a mesh back,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and so now that mesh becomes the front and the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: leather is the back, kind of supersedes even wearing the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: glove if you're dealing with thorns or things of that nature.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And so while it is somewhat functional a right handed
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: glove on a left hand, it isn't ideal at all
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't work great. And that's kind of how
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the body is. If man makes it, it tends to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: be a mirror image of the real article, and so
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: we tend to do better and have a higher ability
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to use a chemical that is nature made than one
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that is man made. So there's this thing called synergy.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: So when I take a man made substance, it doesn't
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: have a lot of synergy. It doesn't work well with everything.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Some things are okay, other things not okay. But when
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: nature makes it, God makes it, He puts it in
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: there and it's correct, and our body's used to seeing
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it in that form. Our bodies like, hey, this works
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: really well. Well. So synergy is when one plus one
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: does not equal two, but one plus one equals five,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: one plus one equals ten, fifty, one hundred. Synergy is
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: something that is very unique to nature made stuff. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: so when nature designs it, when God designs it, when
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the foods that were supposed to eat in their natural
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: state are or the way they are supposed to be,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: we have this amazing thing that happens that hey, we
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: don't need as much. So when we look at something like,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: let's say milk, an entire gallon is going to have
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: like fifty to sixty micrograms of vitamin D and we think, well,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that's not very much. I need like thousands of international
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: units or hundreds of micrograms. Well, you might need that
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: of a synthetic but ultimately, if there's forty milligrams of
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: calcium per ounce of raw milk and there's very little
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: vitamin D, then obviously it doesn't take much natural D
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: three to pull that calcium through the got wall and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: deliver it to the tissues. And so our ideas of
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: vitamin therapy have to be altered if we're using something
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that's synthetic as opposed to something that is nature design,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: God designed. So as we go through this, just know
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that when we get to some of these later studies
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: where they use massive dose of vitamin D, that'll kind
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: of come and handy it least understanding wise. So next person,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: there's five different people by the way, that can you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: have pain relief from vitamin D supplementation. The first one
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: is that that person with osteoporosis that doesn't have very
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: good vitamin D in their blood is cancer pain. I thought, wow,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: that was pretty cool that they listed this muscular pain
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: not only of the individual that has consistent or coexisting
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: levels or low levels of D, but it was fascinating
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that they even listed it, because you know, vitamin D
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: tends to be somewhat anti autoimmune but also immune system regulating,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and so if we have cancer, we probably have an
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: imus system that's not real great. But ultimately, as I've
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: talked about in other podcasts, cancer does not like low
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: calcium environment, and so one of the main actions of
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: vitamin D is to pull calcium into tissues. Now it
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: also is trying to pull it through the gut wall
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to deliver it to the body. So we've already talked
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: it at length in an other podcast, But it bears
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: repeating here that high consistent, high dose vitamin D in
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: animals shows that they will calcify their entire body and
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: strip the bones of all the calcium. So what we
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: end up doing with high high high vitamin D supplementation
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: in the tune of like five million international units, it
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: tends to calcify the body and basically our heart, our muscles,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: our tissues, our blood vessels, and we die. So is
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: anybody out there going to do five million international units
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: of vitamin D a day? I would hope not. You'd
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: be taking a lot of pills any But suffice to say,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: increasing vitamin D in your body when you have cancer
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: is probably a wise move since calcium is very much
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: appreciated by the body when we have a cancer situation. Now,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I found it interesting that they listed overweight and obesity
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: as a possible need for vitamin D. And of course,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: if we have obesity and overweight, we have a lot
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of oedipose tissue to say it kindly, which is a
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: medical way of saying fat, So we have a lot
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: of fat on our body. We tend to not have
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: these fat soluble vitamins running around, and so if we
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: have these this lack of fat soluble vitamins and we
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: carry more weight, we are likely going to be pulling
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: on all kinds of tissue, including bones that could produce pain.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: So they said that if you are overweight an obese,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and you have back pain, you may benefit from vitamin D,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: especially if you're vitamin D deficient. Okay, well that makes
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: sense those who are diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. Now
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: they just end it there. I'm like, wow, chronic fatigue syndrome.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They didn't even like, go after if you're low on
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: vitamin D. They just said, if you're chronically fatigued, you
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: may want to do vitamin D. And while I remember
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: being my early twenties playing outdoor sports and just feeling
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: like I was so tired. I just couldn't move. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: just wanted to lay down on the court outside and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: go to sleep. I was just that tired, and nobody
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: told me because nobody knew, Hey, Troy, You're fatigue is
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: probably due to calcium. You're getting vitamin D from the
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: sun right now, and it's now pulling calcium from all
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: these tissues, and your muscles are like absolutely fatigued because
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: they're giving up this vitamin D. And now when when
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I'm hiking or something I can, I keep calcium in
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: my pocket and I will literally pull them out and
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: start sucking on them, and it's like forty five seconds
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: to minute minute a half, and I feel energized. It
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: is just crazy. As I'm outdoor doing outdoor things, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I feel this drain of the
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: calcium in my body and I'll take some and it
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: is just impressive of how much better I feel as
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I begin to deliver calcium to tissues. So last number five,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: in some cases, chronic non specific pain lasting more than
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: three months could be helped by vitamin D. Now, vitamin D,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: as we've talked about also in my past podcast, is
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a pre hormone. Most fat soluble vitamins are pre hormones,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: and so if you do essential fat or essential oils,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: you are likely experiencing the effect of those pre hormones.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Now that we're starting to understand that many fats are
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: and so they're very close to producing that kind of
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a hormone response in the body, but they don't directly
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: affect the endocrine system or the hormone system. So when
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: we take a fat soluble vitamin, they tend to prime
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: those hormone systems, and all of a sudden, we benefit
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: by taking those real fats, or those real essential fatty
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: acids that we need, or essential oils, all of them
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: kind of combine. I'm going to lump into a category
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of essential fats. Whether it is cod liver oil or
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: fish oil, or Vitamin D or Vitamin A or Vitamin
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: E or any of these fat soluble vitamins, they're all
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: going to be lumped into this category of just good
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: fats that we absolutely need for function. And what we
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: realize more and more that these fats do is they're
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: priming our hormone system so that we can run our
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: body hormonally in a much more efficient way. An efficiency
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: now drives energy and healing into systems that need it,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: rather than taking it from systems because they don't have
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: what they need. So deficiencies tend to rob us of
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: energy because we have to do things in a much
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: more difficult way than if we just had what we needed.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like building a house. Hey, if I
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: had nails, I just kind of put a nail through
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a board into another board, and it's nice and quick
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and easy. But if I don't have nails, Now I've
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: got to make some type of a dowel. I've got
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to drill a hole that fits the dow and I've
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: got to have the dowl big enough, and then I
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: need to put some glue possibly on the dowel. So
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: if I'm not perfect at how big the dowel is,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and then I got to pound the dowel in and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: then wait for it to dry, and then go to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the next board and do it again. Now is it doable? Yes?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Is it esthetically pleasing when you have dowels in wood
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: grain without any nails? Well, yeah, it's pretty awesome. It's
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: kind of cool that you're that awesome of an architect
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: or rather a builder that can do that and foresee
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: all that and make that beautiful piece of furniture or
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: house or whatever it is. So it's just different. And
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: so can we do it without it? Well, yes, but
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: it costs us a lot more time and energy, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: so when we have the right things, the body just
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: tends to work a lot better in that way. So
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the article now goes through and it talks about certain
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: things and aspects of this vitamin D deficiency. So it
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: talks about, hey, recommended amounts. Now, we haven't really necessarily
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: talked about what exactly are the amounts of vitamin D
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: that we should have. Now RDAs for vitamin D is
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: about eight hundred international units, are around twenty micrograms of
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: vitamin D a day, and we're going to find foods
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: that have a decent amount, like okay, cod liver oil.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: A tablespoon of codliver oil. Natural vitamin D is like
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: eleven to thirteen hundred international units of vitamin D and
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a tablespoon that's a significant amount. And when we take
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that type the vitamin D, the fats that are in
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that cadlar oil plus the vitamin A that's in that
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Coudlar oil helps us use that vitamin D even better.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: So the article goes into talk about those different dosages,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and we're going to get to that in just a moment.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: But it says that vitamin D they think may have
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: an anti inflammatory action. Well, anti inflammatory is kind of
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a misnomer here. When you have the nutrients available to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the body to heal, it immediately shuts down the inflammatory
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: response as it heals because it's getting what it needs.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: So we would consider it an anti inflammatory. Yet if
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you complete the healing process, there's no inflammation that needs
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to keep occurring. So it's not that it's actually shutting
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: down the inflammatory process. It's actually assisting the healing process
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: so that no inflammation is necessary. I hope that makes sense.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: It's kind of a complex topic. And then it says
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the role in pain pathways. It says that it believes
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: that it might have an action on the receptors of pain.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I said, well, that may be true, but those pain
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: receptors are going to be sensitive to aciditine, alkalinity, or
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: acid and alkaline substances like, oh, guanidine. I've talked about
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: guantadine in the past. Guantdine is probably a brand new
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: word for most of you. It's inside the cell and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: when the cell dies and guantitine gets into the interstitial fluid,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: that space around the cells where nerve endings are. If
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: the nerve ending senses something as alkaline is guanitine, it
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: immediately immediately triggers its pain response. Well, calcium is a buffer.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Proteins are buffers. Trace minerals are buffers. They buffer acididine, alkalinity.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: By trying to help keep it from going so extreme.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: So if we take vitamin D and we're actually pulling
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: calcium into areas where it may be lacking, we now
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: are actually helping pain pathways because we're actually buffering those
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: pain chemicals that are either too acidic or to alkalin.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: So that's partly the role of the pain pathway of
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: how it's helping. And then finally it says muscle fiber repair, well, yes,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: vitamin D maybe assisting in it, but calcium, copper, manganese,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and protein are the biggies in repair. But vitamin D
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: is assisting in that. So that's kind of how the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: action of vitamin D is working through this process. So
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the recommendations now for vitamin D. I find it interesting
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: that they said, hey, men nineteen years or older need
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: six hundred international units. It's thinking, wow, women nineteen years
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: in older need need eight hundred, children younger than twelve
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: about four hundred, and then twelve to twenty four months
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: need about six hundred international units. So I mean they're
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: not talking big doses here, and again those would be
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: minimums by for the most part, because there's many people
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that do a lot more. Now, so let's kind of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: look at at least food that we would get a
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: decent amount of vitamin D from. Now. Number one, we
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: talked about cod ofver oil. They're telling us that's thirteen
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty depends on your cod liver oil. Some
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: cod ofver oil is heated and so it doesn't have
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a lot. Swordfish I thought was interesting. I've had swordfish.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: It's been a long time, but has roughly five to
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: six hundred in international units in three ounces of swordfish,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I thought. Salmon, I'm like, wow, okay, yeah, salmon makes
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: sense to me. Three ounces of cooked salmon, and they're
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: listing specifically sake that's just under five hundred international units. Now,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: tuna canned and water drained three ounces one hundred and
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: fifty not too bad. Now we get into the fortified stuff.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: So if you have orange juice that's been pasteurized and
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: they realize that everything's wrecked, they fortified it with vitamin D.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: If you have one copp or eight ounces of orange
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: juice that's been fortified, you're gonna get about one hundred
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: and thirty seven internetion. Now if you have milk, of course,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: it's going to be fortified because everything on the market
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: that you're going to buy in a store has been
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: pasteurized and vitamin D has pretty much been destroyed. So
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: they're going to fortify that. And they say anywhere from
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: about one hundred and fifteen to one hundred and twenty
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: five micrograms of vitamin D in six ounces of milk,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: So there you go, or I'm sorry, eight ounces of
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: milk now yogurt again fortified. So I'm thinking, man, anything
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: that you see fortified, they wrecked it. And so now
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: they're just putting a synthetic in there. And again we'd
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: already talked about the synergistic effect of a natural vitamin
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: D as opposed to an unnatural or a some synthesized
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: in a lab, and they're adding it to something so
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: natural is going to be way more synergistic than something
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: that synthesized. Just and so sardines, I thought, okay, yeah, sardines.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: How many of us eat sardines? It used to be
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: something that was quite popular when I was young. I
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: worked at a pizza place and every once in a
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: while somebody come in with wanting sardines, and I'm like,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: who would want sardines? You know, I'd be putting them
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: on a pizza, wondering the whole time. I can't even
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: imagine sardine's on a pizza. It's just the craziest thing.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: And so two ounces of sardine just a little bit
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: about forty six international units liver, So liver surprised me.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I would have expected to have a lot more vitamin
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: D in liver, where it's mostly made, but apparently the
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: liver releases it quite quickly to be stored into other tissues.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: So three ounces of liver, which is more than I
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: want to eat, is forty two international units. Now an
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: egg yolk, I do it significant amount of eggs, and
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I was pleased to know that at least forty one
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: international units in an egg yolk. So if you had
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: a couple eggs, you're doing not too bad. Again, all
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: these foods that you might have in your diet over
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the day would easily produce that international units unless most
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: of our food is processed hen fortified. And so with that,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: those are ideas that, hey, how can I get vitamin
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: D a little bit more? Well, I probably should be
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: out in the sun. And if you're gonna be out
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: in the sun, you're definitely gonna want to do some
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: good fats whole grass fed beef, which now is hard
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: to come by. So we're going to start seeing this
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: new designation in meat called regenerative farming raised or something
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: to that tune. And so a truly grass fed cow
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: is going to have decent amounts of vitamin D in
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: its fat, and that would be awesome. But what's even
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: better is the fat contented self is what we so
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: desperately need. We need that ala oil alphalenylinic acid, and
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: so that ALA in the skin, along with cholesterol, is
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: what turns to vitamin D one, which is seven hydroxy cholesterol.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: And so that seven hydroxy cholesterol then gets converted fairly
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: quickly to D two and then finally goes to liver
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: and becomes D three, and then goes to the to
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: the body and gets converted to other forms of vitamin
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: D that we now know about. So good fats are
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: are really the order of the day. And we started
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: out talking about fats and it comes right back to it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Good fats are absolutely essential to our body, and to
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: even consider a low fat diet is kind of silly.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I would consider a low fat diet for someone who
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: is overweight, as long as they are doing excellent fats
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: in the meantime, so we might go for low fat
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: foods that are kind of processed because we don't necessarily
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: want those fats, but we want to get the good
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: cod liver oils, the naturally occurring oils that you know,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: even would be like a flaxseed oil or real butter,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: real tallow. You know, I have bear tallow at home.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: It's phenomenal. Love it. Lard is amazing. So then they
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: go into can vitamin D be dangerous? We're going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: be ending on this now. I found it really fascinating
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: that they listed a study that was done. This was crazy.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: So in a clinical trial in which women age seventy
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: years and older took a once yearly dose I'll say
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: that again, once yearly dose. Can you imagine what dose
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: of vitamin D they gave them one time a year?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, guess five hundred thousand international units. And they
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: did this for five years. The risk of falls and
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: fractures increased by fifteen to twenty six percent. I was
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: just like, you're going to give somebody a one time
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: dose of five hundred thousand international units of vitamin D?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Does that even make any kind of remote sense? Do
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: we expect anything good to come out of that particular study? No,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: not at all. Hey, I'm going to give you a
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: one time dose of a million gallons of water. Wow,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: every single patient died. Apparently they drowned. Wow, Okay, water
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: could be bad for you. Would anybody like read any
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: more of my articles? If that's how I came across,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: it'd be like insanity. And so that's kind of how
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I feel about these kinds of things. Why why would
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: you even think about doing this? Now? I will tell
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you that I've read articles where they will do a
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: loading dose of three hundred thousand international units of vitamin
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: D on a low vitamin D person, and I'm thinking
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: even that is super excessive. And so you'll see a
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: lot of these articles out there just I mean, they're experimenting.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: They're just trying to figure out could we go faster?
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: And ultimately we probably shouldn't and we probably can't, but
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: at least to know that it's out there that you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: you could do something like that, but then go back
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: down to kind of earth and do just a nominal
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: dose of even four to five thousand international units a day.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I had a gal that was doing fifteen thousand and
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: now she unwed today a vitamin D and she had
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: been for ten years. Her skin was bronzed, she had
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: some other issues, and when I checked her D levels,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: everything all just made sense. She was at one hundred
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: and fifteen and medical normals are between like forty and
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: one hundred, and she was sitting at one hundred and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: fifteen one hundred and eighteen. I said, wow, you definitely
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: need to stop your vitamin D. And she did, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: you know, things got better, and we were doing other
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: things in calcium and she just began to heal better
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: and better better. She feels great. Now, her body can
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: hold onto iron, she has more energy. She just feels great.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: So there are some things out there that we do
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: want to run with some caution. Many of the articles
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: that I see for specific autoimmune conditions will run high
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: dose vitamin D with calcium for about six months, and
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: then they'll like, hey, this is enough. And I tend
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: to agree. At six months, they're up in the one
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty to two hundred markers on their blood,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: which is way over what normative values would like to have.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: And so for short periods of time of doing that, okay, fine,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: But long term definitely we want to avoid, so those
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: are at least give you some ideas of vitamin D and pain.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Thanks for sticking around for the wild ride, and until
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: next time, I'm doctor Troy, and remember there is way
• 26:19
