If YOU Take Vitamin D, You NEED To Stop! — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00I'm very curious about Madeline and
2. 0:01Natalie still.
3. 0:02>> Great.
4. 0:03>> What happened to Madeline and Natalie?
5. 0:04>> Okay. For 2 years, I'm talking to Walter
6. 0:07on the phone, and I start giving vitamin
7. 0:09D to my my patients, and I learned that
8. 0:12every single person needs a unique
9. 0:14amount. Very scary.
10. 0:16I mean, everybody else is saying, "Oh,
11. 0:18take 5,000. Take 10,000. Take 20,000." I
12. 0:21take 100,000 once a month, okay?
13. 0:23And I find out also that if you get past
14. 0:27about a level of 60,
15. 0:29that's when they come back and say, "You
16. 0:32know what? My sleep is better." Now,
17. 0:33importantly, I still was operating under
18. 0:36the
19. 0:37false belief that there's only one
20. 0:38variable, okay? I came up in medicine
21. 0:41using drugs. That means you match the
22. 0:44drug to the complaint. Oh, that one
23. 0:46didn't work, and then we do this one,
24. 0:47and then we do this one, okay? I'm
25. 0:49ashamed that I looked at it that way,
26. 0:51but that was my training. So, I thought
27. 0:54vitamin D was going to fix everything.
28. 0:55Within the next 6 months, my patients
29. 0:57start to come back and say horrible
30. 0:59things like,
31. 1:01"My joints ache all over, and my
32. 1:03doctor's about to send me to the
33. 1:05rheumatologist who does autoimmune
34. 1:07diseases."
35. 1:08>> Like arthritis?
36. 1:09>> Exactly. Then the next person comes in
37. 1:11and says, "I've got this terrible
38. 1:13burning in my hands and feet."
39. 1:16And another woman comes in the same
40. 1:18month with burning in her hands and
41. 1:20feet. Two women, same month, they have
42. 1:23nothing in common except they both have
43. 1:25headaches, and they've been doing
44. 1:26vitamin D with me for 2 years. And they
45. 1:29say they want to know, "Is this related
46. 1:31to that vitamin D that I've been taking
47. 1:33with you?" And now I'm very freaked out
48. 1:36because I'm afraid that what I've been
49. 1:38doing, even though their sleep is better
50. 1:40and we're all happy about that,
51. 1:41headaches were better, now they're a
52. 1:43little worse again,
53. 1:44is I've put them in a situation where
54. 1:47they are now using more of whatever
55. 1:49these building blocks are, and they I've
56. 1:51I've actually forced them into another
57. 1:54deficiency state. I'm making them make
58. 1:56more repairs, and now they're deficient
59. 1:58in something else, and I don't know
60. 1:59what.
61. 2:01Now, a patient walks in with a book.
62. 2:03This is why I'm telling you that my
63. 2:05patients are the ones that taught me all
64. 2:07this stuff. And I'm telling you these
65. 2:08embarrassing stories because they come
66. 2:11in and they say, "Did you do this to
67. 2:13me?"
68. 2:15That's very uncomfortable.
69. 2:17And I don't know, but I feel a
70. 2:18commitment that I better find out. And a
71. 2:21woman walks in with a book that's called
72. 2:24the pain-free promise of pantothenic
73. 2:27acid. God forbid, it's another vitamin.
74. 2:30So,
75. 2:31I happen to have developed over the same
76. 2:33time period this weird buttock pain.
77. 2:37I can't sit down to talk to my patients
78. 2:39at the end of the day because my butt
79. 2:41hurts. So, I feel like I have the same
80. 2:44thing. So, I read this book.
81. 2:47It says pantothenic acid
82. 2:49is a chemical that makes this thing
83. 2:51called coenzyme A.
84. 2:54Coenzyme A is responsible for making
85. 2:55cortisol.
86. 2:57I think,
87. 2:59I don't think that's causing this
88. 3:00burning, but this is something I need to
89. 3:01know about. And cortisol is big in
90. 3:04sleep. We talk about cortisol all the
91. 3:06time, the timing of it. And it's huge in
92. 3:09inflammation. I go to the vitamin store,
93. 3:11I find pantothenic acid. The book says
94. 3:14400 mg is the right dose. So, I pick up
95. 3:17the 400 mg, and I go to the B complex. I
96. 3:20find something called B100, which means
97. 3:23there's each one has got 100 mg or 100
98. 3:27mcg. I go home with these two things.
99. 3:30I start taking them.
100. 3:33And I give recommendations to the anyone
101. 3:35who comes in in that one week
102. 3:38where I have a sleep study,
103. 3:40they have a new complaint.
104. 3:41I give a recommendation of B100 and B5.
105. 3:44What the book did was it sent me to the
106. 3:47references. The articles that she
107. 3:49references are from the 1950s
108. 3:52in this creepy
109. 3:54lab next to the Iowa State Prison
110. 3:57where they're doing these creepy
111. 3:59experiments on prisoners before it
112. 4:01becomes illegal. They publish this
113. 4:03article saying if you block pantothenic
114. 4:05acid for 2 weeks,
115. 4:07you see four things. They can't sleep,
116. 4:11they have belly complaints, bloating and
117. 4:12all sorts of things, they have a funny
118. 4:15puppet-like gait, and they have burning
119. 4:16in their hands and feet.
120. 4:18And I go,
121. 4:19"This is wonderful." So, that was one of
122. 4:22the motivations. So, the cortisol link
123. 4:24to pain
124. 4:25and the burning in the hands and feet.
125. 4:29Now, I've got it in my head that I've
126. 4:31made them
127. 4:32use more of the B vitamins.
128. 4:34>> So, let's just pause there. So, you're
129. 4:35saying that by asking your patients to
130. 4:38take more vitamin D, you're saying that
131. 4:41the body has also started to use more B
132. 4:43vitamins, which means that by taking
133. 4:45more vitamin D then I'm deficient in B
134. 4:47vitamins.
135. 4:48>> Yes.
136. 4:49>> And so, you know, when you use vitamin
137. 4:50D, you also use more B vitamins.
138. 4:54>> There's another point that I'm about to
139. 4:56make, but [clears throat] you summarized
140. 4:57it perfectly. So, the next question
141. 5:00would be, "Okay, I'm taking 400 mg cuz
142. 5:02that's what it says in the book, and
143. 5:03that's the only dose that was on the
144. 5:05shelf in the vitamin store."
145. 5:07I get to the end of the week and I
146. 5:09realize I have restless legs and my
147. 5:12restless legs has been much worse this
148. 5:13week. This is probably too big a dose,
149. 5:17and I stopped the 400 mg and everything
150. 5:19goes away. My butt pain goes away like
151. 5:21in a day.
152. 5:22>> 400 mg of
153. 5:23>> B5.
154. 5:24>> Okay.
155. 5:25>> So, pantothenic acid is called B5.
156. 5:28All the patients who come back say,
157. 5:33"Were you trying to kill me?
158. 5:35This 400 mg here, I got so agitated,
159. 5:39I stopped it after 2 days. I felt like I
160. 5:42was crawling out of my skin and I
161. 5:43couldn't sleep at all. If you block B5,
162. 5:46you get insomnia. That means it has
163. 5:47power and sleep.
164. 5:49D has power in sleep.
165. 5:52But it turns out if it has power in
166. 5:53sleep, your body has a very specific
167. 5:56amount that it wants. If you give it too
168. 5:58much,
169. 5:59it's not happy. If you give it too
170. 6:01little, it's not happy. And it turns out
171. 6:04that instead of giving you one thing
172. 6:07when it's low and another thing when
173. 6:09it's high, which is what I would have
174. 6:10anticipated, it goes back to the same
175. 6:12thing. When it's not happy, it just
176. 6:14stops sleeping. Now, a couple of them
177. 6:16come back and say, "You know, I stopped
178. 6:18the 400 mg because I was so agitated I
179. 6:20couldn't sleep at all, but I stayed on
180. 6:21B100, I feel great. My sleep is perfect,
181. 6:25my pain is gone." And I said, "That's
182. 6:27what happened to me."
183. 6:29It's just like too weird.
184. 6:31This chemical is doing something and
185. 6:33it's acting what I would say to my
186. 6:34patients is, be very careful with this
187. 6:36because I don't really know what dose
188. 6:38you'll need.
189. 6:40If it's too much, it'll act like
190. 6:41caffeine, it'll keep you up at night,
191. 6:43okay?
192. 6:44Then, the next thing that happens is a
193. 6:46gal comes in and says, "You know, you
194. 6:48gave me that B100
195. 6:50and I ached all over. I would get up in
196. 6:53the morning and I'd go
197. 6:56And she said, "You know what, I broke it
198. 6:57in half
199. 6:58and I'm taking that and I feel great."
200. 7:00What you'll see here is B50, which is 50
201. 7:03mg of each but all eight Bs
202. 7:06has 50 mg of of B5 in it. It turns out
203. 7:09if you've been taking D for 2 years,
204. 7:12you've actually worked your way into a
205. 7:14place where your body has been using
206. 7:16more Bs and you are now very profoundly
207. 7:18deficient. But she did not take 2 years.
208. 7:21She was a new patient to me. She had not
209. 7:24been on D for that period of time. The
210. 7:26reason why this discussion is important
211. 7:27is there are millions of people who
212. 7:29started taking D in COVID
213. 7:32who by the fourth year after taking it
214. 7:35started to have burning in their hands
215. 7:37and feet. They're not even taking it
216. 7:39anymore. They took it from 2020 to 2023,
217. 7:43their levels got into the 60s. Their
218. 7:45doctor said, "Hey, 60 is enough. Stop
219. 7:47taking the vitamin D." But, they still
220. 7:49show up with a B vitamin diagnosis, and
221. 7:51they go to their doctor and they say,
222. 7:53"Oh, well, you developed lupus. Oh, or
223. 7:54you have this. Oh, or you have that."
224. 7:56These are all diseases that have been
225. 7:58described already, but they haven't been
226. 8:01described as B vitamin deficiency
227. 8:02states, which is bizarre, but that's the
228. 8:05historical point. All of the literature
229. 8:07says, "B5 deficiency doesn't exist
230. 8:10because it's in every food."
231. 8:12Now, I'm reading that literature, and it
232. 8:14says,
233. 8:16"Thiamine, which is B1, has a poop
234. 8:19bacteria source and a food source."
235. 8:22"B2, poop bacteria and a food source."
236. 8:25"All of them come from the poop."
237. 8:28>> What do you mean come from the poop?
238. 8:30>> These eight chemicals called B,
239. 8:32all of them are made by bacteria,
240. 8:35and we absorb them. Everybody knows that
241. 8:38we have the wrong microbiome. And we've
242. 8:41all been told that it's toxins,
243. 8:43antibiotics are the major thing that are
244. 8:45blamed, but we now have a huge body of
245. 8:47literature about the microbiome being
246. 8:50abnormal. Here's
247. 8:51>> microbiome?
248. 8:51>> Yes. The other weird part about it is
249. 8:54there are these guys in Oklahoma, GI
250. 8:57surgeons, who are giving poop
251. 8:58transplants.
252. 9:00>> Give me context on what that is.
253. 9:01>> They take poop from one person, and they
254. 9:03push it up the other person's butt.
255. 9:05Like, we've spent 100 years saying,
256. 9:07"Stay away from the poop. It's bad for
257. 9:09you. Don't go from the poop to your
258. 9:10mouth, okay?" We've made this idea that
259. 9:13the bacteria
260. 9:15we're fighting against them. They're
261. 9:17trying to take us over, and they're bad,
262. 9:19and we're fighting against them.
263. 9:21But, as people are dying of
264. 9:24things like Clostridium difficile, which
265. 9:27C. diff is the way it's shortened,
266. 9:29they're dying of C. diff infection, and
267. 9:31they're doing poop transplants,
268. 9:33and they live.
269. 9:35It turns out that the eight B vitamins
270. 9:36were first described as bacterial growth
271. 9:39factors. They are chemicals that one
272. 9:42bacteria is able to make and it
273. 9:45pushes it out of its cell into the
274. 9:47environment. And this one next to it,
275. 9:49that's a different one, goes,
276. 9:51"Oh, goody, give me that." And those
277. 9:54guys live together as a group, a
278. 9:56commensal, meaning each one of them
279. 9:59derive benefit from having the other one
280. 10:02there. So, there are four big groups of
281. 10:05bacteria that is the normal human
282. 10:08microbiome. Well, why are there four?
283. 10:11Why is it always this four? And how come
284. 10:15we only know
285. 10:17about 2% of them? If we're saying all
286. 10:19these things that the microbiome is
287. 10:21wrong, turns out we only know 2%
288. 10:24of 200 bacteria that are normal
289. 10:27occupants from the mouth, from the lips
290. 10:30all the way to the anus. We only know
291. 10:322%.
292. 10:34But we have the genetic footprint of
293. 10:38every single one. We're able to take
294. 10:40them out of the poop or out of the small
295. 10:42intestine or out of the mouth and we can
296. 10:44say these are the genetics and we've
297. 10:46named all of them. So, we know there are
298. 10:47200.
299. 10:48>> Okay.
300. 10:49>> And the article that they write is, you
301. 10:51know, it looks to us like
302. 10:53the reason why this foursome of groups
303. 10:55hang out together is because they all at
304. 10:57least need one B vitamin
305. 10:59and they produce at least one. So, they
306. 11:01all have
307. 11:03a relationship to the B vitamins and we
308. 11:05should start thinking about the
309. 11:07microbiome
310. 11:08as the production system that supplies
311. 11:12the B vitamins to the body. I didn't
312. 11:14find that article until after.
313. 11:16But here I am back again with one big
314. 11:19question. These two women with the
315. 11:20burning in their hands and feet, why did
316. 11:22they get B vitamin deficient? If the B's
317. 11:24come from the food,
318. 11:26they've had the same diet all along. And
319. 11:28I don't I haven't controlled their diet.
320. 11:30I haven't made them change their diet.
321. 11:32Why did all of these people come back
322. 11:34with these complaints?
323. 11:36The one thing we know is many of them
324. 11:38have IBS symptoms, which are a signal
325. 11:41that the bacteria isn't right.
326. 11:42>> IBS, what's that?
327. 11:44>> Irritable bowel syndrome.
328. 11:45>> Yeah.
329. 11:45>> Diarrhea, constipation, bloating, my
330. 11:47belly isn't right.
331. 11:48>> Yeah.
332. 11:49>> Because I had assumed that D was going
333. 11:52to fix everything.
334. 11:53>> Get them in D.
335. 11:54Mhm.
336. 11:54>> The [clears throat] vitamin D was going
337. 11:55to fix their belly.
338. 11:56And it didn't.
339. 11:58There were several things that did not
340. 11:59get better. One, their IBS didn't get
341. 12:01better. Two, they didn't lose weight.
342. 12:04That was really weird. Because they were
343. 12:06out exercising more. They were out
344. 12:07exercising in the middle of the day, but
345. 12:09they didn't lose weight. That means
346. 12:11there's still something wrong in the
347. 12:12background where they didn't lose
348. 12:14weight.
349. 12:15So I'm stuck with, okay, why didn't did
350. 12:17the D fix the B
351. 12:20thing? Oh.
352. 12:21Oh.
353. 12:23These were all described as bacterial
354. 12:24growth factors.
355. 12:26I have assumed that vitamin D was a
356. 12:28bacterial growth factor because Walter
357. 12:32talked about the GI tract having all
358. 12:34sorts of receptors for vitamin D.
359. 12:36And so I assumed that the bacteria that
360. 12:38lived inside us needed vitamin D to be
361. 12:40normal.
362. 12:41And therefore I assumed that IBS showed
363. 12:43up in the 19
364. 12:4580s [clears throat] because we went into
365. 12:47D deficiency and that D deficiency
366. 12:49caused this IBS.
367. 12:51There were no articles about that in
368. 12:53humans until 2020 when COVID came and
369. 12:56they actually started to realize that
370. 12:58the people who were D deficient died in
371. 13:01COVID. And they started to actually look
372. 13:04at, oh, is the micro buying playing a
373. 13:06role in our immune system? Yes.
374. 13:09If I give vitamin D, will the bacterial
375. 13:12makeup of my stool change in a positive
376. 13:16way?
377. 13:16>> My poop.
378. 13:17>> Exactly. Does the poop bacteria makeup
379. 13:19change in a positive way? We know we've
380. 13:21seen people who don't have inflammatory
381. 13:23disorders and they have these this
382. 13:25bacterial makeup will giving vitamin D
383. 13:28change the population? And yes, that's
384. 13:31the answer. Now,
385. 13:32I realized now I'm giving two bacterial
386. 13:35growth factors, D,
387. 13:37and now I'm giving B100, and I'm giving
388. 13:40a large dose of all eight Bs. Remember
389. 13:43that, give all eight.
390. 13:44>> Mhm.
391. 13:45>> That means by accident, I have actually
392. 13:48given eight bacterial growth factors
393. 13:50that are necessary for bringing the poop
394. 13:52bacteria back to the normal human makeup
395. 13:55that it's supposed to be, that it has
396. 13:57always come to be spontaneously.
397. 14:00That's a really important point. All the
398. 14:03other animals in the world, they're not
399. 14:04obese. There are no obese squirrels in
400. 14:06my backyard. The only obese animals are
401. 14:10our cats and dogs that we keep inside.
402. 14:12>> So, to summarize for me, what is the
403. 14:13link between vitamin D and the B
404. 14:16vitamins?
405. 14:17>> It turns out that all the Bs come from
406. 14:19the microbiome.
407. 14:20>> Yes, okay. I understand.
408. 14:21>> In order to have the correct microbiome,
409. 14:24we are actually commensal organisms
410. 14:27with our microbiome. That means we have
411. 14:30to provide D,
412. 14:32they in turn provide us with Bs.
413. 14:34>> Okay. So, is that a good thing that you
414. 14:36gave them D then, cuz then their body
415. 14:37makes B?
416. 14:38>> Yes, but it didn't make B on its own.
417. 14:42Otherwise, those side effects like my
418. 14:44butt pain wouldn't have been there,
419. 14:46okay? So, let's bring that let's bring
420. 14:48that into focus.
421. 14:50The D by itself did not correct the
422. 14:52microbiome.
423. 14:53>> Yeah.
424. 14:54>> So, when I took 5,000 of D between 2020
425. 14:58and 2023,
426. 15:00and I took it for 3 years cuz my doctor
427. 15:02told me it was okay,
428. 15:04but in 2025,
429. 15:06I started to have rheumatoid arthritis
430. 15:09symptoms.
431. 15:10>> The D did not correct my microbiome. It
432. 15:13actually made me deficient. I'm going to
433. 15:15give you the drug for rheumatoid
434. 15:16arthritis. I'm not going to picture it
435. 15:18as, "Oh, you need B50."
436. 15:21>> So, you gave B50, but then didn't they
437. 15:22have another problem?
438. 15:23>> Most of the time, what happens after the
439. 15:26B50 is everything comes back to normal,
440. 15:28the GI tract corrects. You have to take
441. 15:31it only for 3 months. I was taking it
442. 15:33for 4 and 1/2 months.
443. 15:36And I started to wake up and feel old.
444. 15:37>> Yeah.
445. 15:38>> And everything I just parenthetically
446. 15:40told you about the the GI tract was
447. 15:42percolating around in my brain.
448. 15:44And what I had told my patients was, you
449. 15:46know, I think we've stumbled on the
450. 15:48growth factor that the right microbiome
451. 15:50needs.
452. 15:52And I think the reason you became B
453. 15:54vitamin deficient was because it was the
454. 15:56wrong microbiome, but when we give them
455. 15:58what they need, they're going to grow
456. 16:00back.
457. 16:00>> Okay, fine.
458. 16:01>> to grow back and
459. 16:03they're going to do their job.
460. 16:05>> Okay, so
461. 16:05>> They're going to produce B50. They're
462. 16:07going to make that.
463. 16:08>> summarize that. So, by giving them B50
464. 16:10for a short period of time, you're kind
465. 16:13of jump-starting the gut microbiome, and
466. 16:15then you don't want to keep giving it to
467. 16:17them or else they're going to become
468. 16:18like dependent or not do their job
469. 16:19properly. So, you want to give it to
470. 16:20them for 3 months, let them jump-start,
471. 16:23and then they'll do their job, and then
472. 16:24you leave them alone.
473. 16:25>> Yes, and I want to add one more thing.
474. 16:26The way you think about it is
475. 16:29probiotics
476. 16:30are bacteria.
477. 16:32You dump the bacteria down and you
478. 16:35swallow it, it goes into your small
479. 16:36intestine.
480. 16:37But if it does not have the growth
481. 16:41factors that it needs, which every
482. 16:43bacteria has its little set of growth
483. 16:45helpers it needs to be able to absorb
484. 16:48from the actual juice that's down there.
485. 16:52If it doesn't have that, it can't
486. 16:53reproduce.
487. 16:55Every bacteria that's sitting in my
488. 16:56small intestine right now,
489. 17:0012 hours from now is going to be in a
490. 17:01different place.
491. 17:02>> Mhm.
492. 17:03>> A day from now, I'm going to poop it
493. 17:04out.
494. 17:05Who's up here now?
495. 17:07The great great granddaughters of the
496. 17:09bacteria that are sitting there while
497. 17:11you're I are talking. They reproduce
498. 17:14rapidly. You have to picture them like a
499. 17:17river. Like we're sitting in and we're
500. 17:19looking at the river and the water looks
501. 17:21like this.
502. 17:22And 10 minutes later, the water looks
503. 17:24the same.
504. 17:25But that's not the same water that we
505. 17:28were looking at 10 minutes ago. That
506. 17:30water is downstream.
507. 17:32That means the level of reproduction
508. 17:35that they are expected to do requires
509. 17:38constant production of these growth
510. 17:41factors. Now, it turns out that you
511. 17:43don't have to think about that. All you
512. 17:45have to do is have the normal bacteria
513. 17:48that was generated spontaneously when
514. 17:50you were born because mom was giving you
515. 17:52D in her breast milk and it also had
516. 17:55eight B's. Those eight B's came from her
517. 17:58normal microbiome in the breast milk.
518. 18:00That means you had everything you needed
519. 18:02and then you were out in the sun. You
520. 18:04were born in June or July in the summer
521. 18:07and then you got D on your skin and that
522. 18:11process has replicated for 300,000
523. 18:14years. For 250 million years, the
524. 18:18dinosaurs had a microbiome in their
525. 18:21intestines. This is so old, it's
526. 18:23unimaginable.
527. 18:25>> So, what is the conclusion here then cuz
528. 18:26I do want to bring this back to Natalie
529. 18:28and Madeline?
530. 18:29>> Okay.
531. 18:29>> haven't figured out what what you what
532. 18:31you told them to do.
533. 18:32>> Steven, you are so smart and it's so
534. 18:34such a pleasure to talk to you. These
535. 18:37are difficult points. Madeline is
536. 18:39struggling with all these things. She's
537. 18:41slowly getting better.
538. 18:42Then we do the D, she's slowly getting
539. 18:44better.
540. 18:45Then we do the B100.
541. 18:47And then
542. 18:50it's freaking awesome. She starts to
543. 18:53lose the pain that she had down her leg.
544. 18:55The burning in her hands and feet goes
545. 18:57away. Her sleep gets much better. Now,
546. 18:59she's into year three and four
547. 19:02of what becomes the right sleep program
548. 19:05and she's still on 30,000 IUs of D a
549. 19:08day. That's an immense dose. Most people
550. 19:10are taking five to 10.
551. 19:13She's been taking 30,000 a day for 4
552. 19:15years.
553. 19:17Her D level has stayed the same.
554. 19:19It's in the 60s. She's done a great job
555. 19:21of keeping everything the same.
556. 19:23That really means that her body is using
557. 19:2530,000 IU's of vitamin D a day for 4
558. 19:28years. That's a very important concept
559. 19:30because it means
560. 19:32she is using so much more than anybody
561. 19:36else is using in my practice. Most
562. 19:38people are on 10,000.
563. 19:41But she's making these amazing repairs.
564. 19:42Her depression is gone. She stopped
565. 19:44three medicines that we've been using
566. 19:46for pain control.
567. 19:48She now gets up in the morning and she
568. 19:49feels energetic. She's starting a
569. 19:51program that the Texas state has for
570. 19:53going back to work.
571. 19:55You know, I was like, [laughter]
572. 19:56"This gal's never going back." She wants
573. 19:58to go back to work.
574. 20:00She is a totally different person. Now,
575. 20:03importantly, she is not 100 lb thinner.
576. 20:07She's still 100 lb overweight. And that
577. 20:09is one of the things that happen in most
578. 20:11of my patients and clients. The body
579. 20:13will not lose that weight until it's
580. 20:14really made every repair it thinks is
581. 20:17necessary, and then it decides that it's
582. 20:20not going to need this fat anymore.
583. 20:23>> So, with her, did you take her off the B
584. 20:25vitamins?
585. 20:27>> The routine is that one, they have to do
586. 20:31D, and this this will become the right
587. 20:33sleep program.
588. 20:34>> But they have to do D because they're
589. 20:35not getting sunlight.
590. 20:36>> Correct.
591. 20:37>> We None of us really get enough
592. 20:37sunlight.
593. 20:38>> Correct. So, and we can talk about
594. 20:41supplement versus sun, but the D is
595. 20:43pivotal to the entire program, and it
596. 20:45has to continue. And if you have a sleep
597. 20:49problem or medical problems, you will do
598. 20:52better if you get your D above 60 and
599. 20:54keep it around there.
600. 20:56That is not [clears throat] the same as
601. 20:57saying, "What is the ideal D level for a
602. 21:01human who wants to overachieve?" It is
603. 21:04not the the
604. 21:06Okay?
605. 21:07So, she's on D. she stays on D the rest
606. 21:09of her life as long as she needs it, and
607. 21:11she's always checking her D levels. Then
608. 21:14she goes on B100, she happened to be one
609. 21:16of the ones that was on D by itself for
610. 21:172 years. If you have been on D for 2 or
611. 21:203 or 5 years in the past and have
612. 21:22developed B vitamin deficiency states,
613. 21:25then you will have to go back on D with
614. 21:27the B50,
615. 21:28and you will do that for 3 months, and
616. 21:30then [snorts] you will stop and you'll
617. 21:31go down to a much lower dose
618. 21:34that's a multivitamin. One of the things
619. 21:36in the background that we haven't talked
620. 21:38about yet is there are actually hundreds
621. 21:40of things that the bacteria are doing
622. 21:42for us that are just starting to be
623. 21:44reported.
624. 21:46But they have been pivotal all along in
625. 21:48all the minerals. All the minerals that
626. 21:49show up in a multivitamin,
627. 21:52all the magnesium, calcium, selenium,
628. 21:55manganese, all these things that
629. 21:56nobody's really interested in, and they
630. 21:57all are in list on their multi-
631. 21:59multivitamin.
632. 22:01All through this same time frame, people
633. 22:03are developing iron deficiency and iron
634. 22:05overload.
635. 22:07And it turns out that the bacteria have
636. 22:09been a pivotal part in our intestine
637. 22:11speaking to our body about whether or
638. 22:14not our iron level is low or high in the
639. 22:16liver
640. 22:17or in the blood system in our bone
641. 22:19marrow or in our brain. And if you do
642. 22:21not have a specific bacteria called
643. 22:24Lactobacillus reuteri, you will be
644. 22:26missing a brand new metabolite or
645. 22:30chemical that was named after that
646. 22:31bacteria just in the last 3 years that's
647. 22:34called reuteri that is one of the
648. 22:37chemical messengers that our body uses.
649. 22:40So, that means many of the deficiency
650. 22:42states that the naturopaths and the
651. 22:44functional medicine people are studying
652. 22:46are all linked to the fact that this
653. 22:48bacterial tube has been doing all these
654. 22:52things for us all along, and when you
655. 22:54lost them, each individual person has
656. 22:58its own set of specific deficiency
657. 23:01states that must be addressed for their
658. 23:04sleep to get better.
