Is 10,000 IUs of vitamin D toxic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2glDkfDUiM

In this video, we’re going to talk about vitamin D toxicity. Some people are afraid of taking too much vitamin D, when it may not be as scary as you might think. 

According to an article by the Mayo Clinic, vitamin D may not actually be as toxic as was once believed. 

In the 1940s, vitamin D was used for rheumatoid arthritis. But, the amounts being used were between 200,000 and 300,000 IUs of vitamin D. The reason this could have helped is that vitamin D helps support the immune system and helps lower inflammation. 

In the 1950’s they were fortifying products like dairy products with vitamin D. But, there were some complaints from parents with children who had side effects. The fortification of vitamin D in dairy was banned in Europe, but not in some other countries, including America. 

Years later, it was discovered that these children might have experienced these side effects due to a rare genetic disease called Williams syndrome. With Williams syndrome, you don’t actually want to take vitamin D at all. 

Now, when you look at vitamin D, it always says something along the line of “don’ take too much, you could experience a toxic effect.” 

But, according to this article by the Mayo Clinic, it would take getting 50,000 to 100,000 IUs of vitamin D for months to years before vitamin D would become toxic. This is actually a lot more than what most people consider toxic. 

When talking about vitamin toxicity, we’re referring to hypercalcemia, which is too much calcium in the blood. 

When people are afraid of vitamin D toxicity, they end up taking smaller amounts like 1,000 to 2,000 IUs per day. But, with this amount, it could actually take four months or more to bring a vitamin D deficiency up to a normal level. 

If you want to decrease the potential risk of kidney stones, you could drink 2.5 liters of fluid every day, avoid taking calcium and avoid dairy.

In this video, we’re going to talk about how stress can deplete certain nutrients. Most people think that a lack of eating certain foods causes nutrient deficiencies. While this is one cause, it’s not the only cause. 

A few causes of nutritional deficiencies:

• Sugar 
• Caffeine 
• Refined grains 
• Diet low in nutrients 
• Lack of bile
• Lack of microbiome 
• Lack of stomach acid 
• Anti-nutrients 

Stress is also a major factor that can potentially cause vitamin deficiencies, not to mention many other types of health problems. 

When talking about stress in the body, we’re really talking about the hormone called cortisol. Chronic high levels of cortisol could cause deficiencies in certain nutrients, such as:

• Vitamin B1
• Vitamin D
• Zinc
• Potassium 
• Sodium

Today we’re going to talk about daytime sleepiness. If you find that you’re still tired even after sleeping all night, this is called excessive daytime sleepiness. 

When you go to bed, there are waves of hormones that occur. There are four 90 minute cycles, and when you go through these waves, there are different levels of sleep. The goal is to get into delta sleep, which is when you really recharge. 

What prevents you from getting into the delta sleep wave, or makes you tired all the time?

1. Vitamin D deficiency 
2. Not enough fermented foods
3. Not enough omega 3 fatty acids 
4. EMF 
5. Chronic infection

Find out what causes autoimmune conditions.

Today we’re going to talk about autoimmune conditions and what causes autoimmune conditions? 

An autoimmune condition is a situation where your body has created immune cells that are attacking itself. 
This creates inflammation, and the inflammation creates a lot of collateral damage. It’s all of the free radicals that end up actually destroying the tissue. 

The immune cells that are attacking itself are called autoantibodies. You can have these autoantibodies to pretty much any tissue in the body. 

What autoimmune conditions boil down to is one cell called the Th17 cell becoming overactive. Excessive amounts of this cell are responsible for autoimmune conditions. 

In your immune system, you have a lot of different T cells. The T stands for thymus. Typically T helper cells do things like recruiting help to fight infection and generating weaponry. It’s the main controller in the battle against infections. 

One of the functions of these cells is to maintain the intestinal barrier. This is the barrier that helps keep out viruses and pathogens. If there’s a break in the wall and harmful bacteria get in, they can invade the inside of the body, causing an immune attack. Now, your body is going to start creating antibodies against these cells. If those cells are pathogens, this is a good thing. But, what if those cells are your own cells? This, of course, wouldn’t be good. 

Another function of Th17 cells is making sure that the body doesn’t destroy its own tissue. This cell could help prevent autoimmune conditions. 

The Th17 cells also work with the T regulatory cells, which have an even greater function of preventing autoimmune diseases. It may also help suppress autoimmune diseases and hyperinflammatory conditions. T regulatory cells also calm down infections. 

When the Th17 cell doesn’t work as it should, you’re at risk for getting a movement of bacteria across the intestinal barrier. This could lead to chronic infection and chronic inflammation. 

It’s unclear how these cells become overactivated. But, what is known is that there are usually several things involved, such as:

1. Infection
2. Stress
3. Malnourishment 

Vitamin D can potentially help bring down this overreaction of the Th17 cell.

Why does Saudi Arabia have such a vitamin D problem despite having a lot of sun exposure?

1:18 Vitamin D deficiency causes in Saudi Arabia
1:45 Vitamin D and diet 
2:00 Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency 
2:40 How to get more vitamin D 

Today let’s talk about Saudi Arabia and vitamin D. 

There was a meta-analysis between 2008 and 2015 that demonstrated that 63.5% of the population had a vitamin D deficiency. On top of that, 19.9% of the population had vitamin D insufficiency (a subclinical vitamin D deficiency). Together, this is 83.4% of the population that had a problem with vitamin D. 

Saudi Arabia is also:

• 7th in the world for the rate of getting type 2 diabetes
• 4th in the world for the rate of getting type 1 diabetes

84% of the type of 1 diabetes cases in children showed a vitamin D deficiency. 

So, why is this such problem in Saudi Arabia? Well, there is traditional clothing typically worn in Saudi Arabia, that blocks the sun. But, there are other factors as well.

Only 10% of the vitamin D you get comes from your diet. It’s almost impossible to get all of the vitamin D you need from your diet. 

Vitamin D deficiency symptoms:

• Fatigue 
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Inflammation
• Aches 
• High blood pressure 
• Weak immunity 

It may be beneficial, especially for those in Saudi Arabia, to start taking vitamin D supplements. If you do take vitamin D supplements, you may also want to take vitamin K2. For every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3, consider taking 100 mcg of vitamin K2.
