In this video, we’re going to talk about what vitamin D can do for the cytokine storm. 

A cytokine storm is basically what’s really killing the majority of people who die from COVID-19. But, it’s only deadly if the person’s immune system is malfunctioning. 

There is a really interesting study that compared the two countries with the highest mortality rates from COVID-19 to the countries with the lowest mortality rates from COVID-19. They looked at their vitamin D levels. They found a correlation between the higher mortality rates and low vitamin D. Not only that; they found a strong correlation between vitamin D and cytokine storm. People that had the most vitamin D did not have the cytokine storm. 

Vitamin D is an immune modulator. It controls the amount of inflammation within the immune system.

A cytokine is a signaling protein that can:
• Increase the number of white blood cells
• Cause inflammation
• Suppress inflammation
• Stimulate angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels)

Just like how your immune system has strategies to fight off pathogens, pathogens have strategies to survive and counter attacks. 

During a cytokine storm, there is a hyperinflammatory reaction going on that creates a lot of damage in the body. 

Vitamin D may be able to help suppress cytokines. But, if your immune system is already healthy, you don’t really have to worry about anything.

0:00 The connection between keto, intermittent fasting, your thyroid, hair loss
0:28 How low vitamin A causes thyroid dysfunction
2:20 Vitamin A sources
3:59 Zinc, vitamin A, and your thyroid
4:41 Zinc sources
4:55 Final thoughts on Vitamin A, zinc, and hair loss

In this video, I want to talk to you about the ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, your thyroid, and your hair. Some people who go on an intermittent fasting and keto plan notice hair loss. Some people also feel cold and have an enlarged thyroid. There is a way to do keto correctly, so you don’t have hair loss and a thyroid problem.

Vitamin A activates thyroid receptors. The pituitary sends a hormone down to the thyroid that controls it. The hormone is called thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH. It changes the size of the thyroid and the production of hormones, like T4. Low levels of vitamin A can inhibit the thyroid receptors of TSH. In turn, your pituitary produces more and more TSH to try to force the thyroid to work.

When this situation happens, it can cause the thyroid to enlarge. In turn, this can make you cold and contribute to hair loss.

Vitamin A comes from:
• Liver
• Eggs
• Butter
• Fish oil
• Greens

If you don’t consume enough of these foods, you could be low in vitamin A.

The other causes of low vitamin A could be:
• Fatty or inflamed liver
• Low gallbladder bile or no gallbladder
• Gastric bypass
• SIBO

Low levels of zinc is another very common problem that causes thyroid issues. This is often caused by avoiding all animal products, like with a vegetarian or vegan diet. Shellfish and red meat are excellent sources of zinc.

Could COVID-19 become less of a problem as we go into the summer months?

0:15 Studies on COVID-19 and temperature 
1:35 What you need to know
2:35 What can you do?

Today we’re going to talk about COVID-19, temperature, and humidity. Could COVID-19 get better in the summer?

Studies on COVID-19 and temperature:

Study: High temperature and high humidity could significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19. For every increase in 1 degree Celsius and increase in 1% humidity, there’s a decrease by R (the infection rate) by .0383 and .0224.

Study: There are greater infections in the northern hemisphere versus the lower hemisphere. This may have to do with distance from the sun and how much vitamin D people are able to get. 

Study: Showed an inverse relationship between humidity, temperature, and COVID-19 infections. 

Certain viruses are seasonal and peak in the winter because they’re more stable in cold temperatures. During the winter months, people also tend to have higher levels of cortisol, which weakens the immune system. 

During the winter months, you’re also going to get less vitamin D, which can weaken the immune system. There are even more benefits of sunlight that go beyond vitamin D and temperature, that you’re missing out on in the winter months. 

If there are viruses that are peaking in the winter months, it’s important to keep your immune system strong during this time. You can also take vitamin D and do whatever you can to help counter the increase in cortisol. Sleep and long walks could help as well.

Could being too serious about the COVID-19 virus actually be a problem for your health in itself? Take a look at this interesting information.

0:05 Breaking down what it means to be serious
0:14 Fear
0:37 Maintaining ease
1:02 Why fear is a problem
1:20 What you can do
1:43 Facts about COVID-19

Do you need to get more serious about the coronavirus (COVID-19)? There are many definitions of the word serious. But, the definition of serious that we’re focusing on here refers to looming danger or grave danger. Basically, you’re afraid. 
 
The problem is that being in a state of fear can greatly affect your immune system. It can increase cortisol and adrenalin, making you more susceptible to disease. 

It is vital, despite what’s happening in your environment, to try to maintain an attitude of ease (being less serious). There is no benefit of being overly serious about anything or being in a state of fear. 

The more fear and inaction, the more stress the person is in, and the more cortisol, the weaker the immune system.

A better option may be to stay in action, stay calm, and get the facts. There is a big difference between fact and opinion:

• Facts are based on evidence—truth.
• Opinions may or may not be based on facts.

Opinions:
• The virus will kill you
• Millions will die

Facts:
• The people that are dying have a weakened immune system 
• A person has a 99.8-99.9% chance of not dying with COVID-19 
• Fear weakens the immune system

We had a great live Q and A—thanks to everyone who tuned in! We covered a lot of fantastic topics, and I enjoyed getting to talk with some of you. If we didn’t get to chat, I hope to hear your question in the next live Q&A, which I’m doing daily!

0:09 What is myasthenia gravis?
0:53 Vitamin D and myasthenia gravis
1:13 Why could vitamin D help this condition?
2:48 What about hypercalcemia?

Today we’re going to talk about an interesting case study that was done by a Brazilian doctor working with a patient who had myasthenia gravis.

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is where you have what they call autoantibodies that are against your own tissues. This particular autoimmune disease attacks the connection between your nerves and your muscles. This creates a lot of muscle problems.

 One of the treatments commonly used for this condition is steroids. But, unfortunately, there are a lot of side effects when you take steroids. 

This doctor used between 80,000 and 120,000 IUs of vitamin D3 and was able to put this patient’s symptoms in remission. 

Vitamin D is hormone-like and acts as a steroid without the side-effects. It also supports the T regulatory cells, which is a part of the immune system that helps prevent autoimmune diseases. 

There is a huge connection with a lot of autoimmune diseases and vitamin D deficiency. But, one of the concerns people have with taking high doses of vitamin D is a condition called hypercalcemia. This is high calcium in the blood, which could potentially lead to kidney stones. To lessen this risk, the doctor told the patient to omit calcium from the diet. Drinking 3.5-4 liters of fluid a day could also potentially help lessen the risk of kidney stones.

There is a really interesting connection between vitamin D and scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis. Check this out.

1:32 Vitamin D3

2:27 How to know if you’re vitamin D deficient? 
3:04 Vitamin D supplements
3:40 Vitamin K2 

In this video, we’re going to talk about scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis, and how these conditions relate to vitamin D. 

Scoliosis is an abnormal curve in the back. 
Kyphosis is more of a hunchback. 
Lordosis is a condition where the person has a swayback. 

When you look up the cause of scoliosis, it’s very unclear. A study out of Hong Kong found that 30% of people with scoliosis have osteopenia. Osteopenia is the start of bone loss, which can be caused by a lack of calcium or (more likely) low vitamin D3.

A few symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency: 

• Scoliosis 
• Kyphosis 
• Lordosis 
• Muscle spasm 
• Bowed legs
• Knocked knees 

Vitamin D has a lot to do with the development of the skeletal system, especially the spine. It’s very important for a mother to have enough vitamin D while carrying her baby and while breastfeeding. But, 50% of pregnant women are deficient in vitamin D. 

How to know if you’re vitamin D deficient?
If you press on your breastbone or shin and it’s tender—that could be a sign of a vitamin D deficiency. 

Other signs of a vitamin D deficiency: 

• Muscle spasms 
• Depression 
• Weekend immune system 

If you’re taking vitamin D and not seeing much of a difference, you could have celiac or some type of damage to the small intestine. Greater amounts of a liquid vitamin D supplement may help. 

Vitamin K2 works with vitamin D3. Typically, if someone is deficient in vitamin D3, they’re also deficient in vitamin K2. Vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium. Vitamin K2 helps keep calcium from accumulating in the arteries and joints.
