Now offering this program and others on podcasts on Apple, Amazon, and Spotify,
0:18
an association with Search for the Neurology International, a 2D Internet Journal, with Nancy Epstein as its editor-in-chief, are pleased to present another in the SI Digital Investigative Series,
0:34
entitled Dr. Blylock Reports, where he discusses medically related controversies today.
0:45
In this Dr. Blylock Reports, he will be discussing vitamin D deficiency Most people are deficient in vitamin D, and he will discuss the widespread consequences in the body and. to the patient's
1:00
clinical state with vitamin D deficiency.
1:07
Dr. Blayelank is a neurosurgeon. He's the head of theoretical neuroscience research and associate editor-in-chief of the neural inflammation section of surgical neurology international and SNI
1:20
digital. He's a board certified clinical nutritionist and a creator and editor of the Blayelank Wellness Report. He's written many books, scientific papers and there's a health commentator on radio,
1:35
TV, and the epic times.
1:40
There are some of the books that he's written on natural solutions for liver problems, cancer patients, general, natural health, one on excitotoxins, part of the immuno-excitotoxicity concept
1:55
that he developed. And the last with Dr. Ausman is a co-author on the China virus. What is the truth? They're available at amazoncom.
2:09
He also writes the Blaylock Wellness Report, a monthly nutritional newsletter, which he's written for 20 years. You can subscribe at wellnessreportnewsmaxcom. Before Dr.
2:24
Blaylock started, we thought that you might enjoy a few graphics in regard to vitamin D metabolism.
2:34
On the left side of this image, you see the sun. And in the skin, there's a molecule which is inert. It's not active. It's 70 hydro cholesterol. It's a pre-form of vitamin D. And when the sun's
2:51
rays meet the skin, It converts that to the end of the video. molecule into a vitamin D molecule.
3:02
If a person sits in the sun and they're exposed to the sun for an hour, they can make 20, 000 units of vitamin D a day, more than enough that the body eats.
3:16
However, if the patient does not go into the sun, the shield from the sun heavily closed or using a lot of sunscreen, he prevents himself from using vitamin D and has to take it in his diet in
3:32
fortified foods that contain vitamin D or vitamin D3 or TD2 in supplements in other forms. These then go to the liver where it's modified into a more active form of vitamin D and also in the kidney
3:52
which then can be used throughout the body
3:57
bound to a protein and travel swirl. the body to all 37 trillion cells in the body. And that combination of protein and vitamin D is a very strong antibiotic and anti-inflammatory molecule.
4:17
When it gets to the cell, here's an example of the cell with two colors of red. The other color shows a receptor
4:27
with vitamin D. It's a green labeled
4:31
item on the left of the screen. That's a vitamin D receptor, which allows vitamin D to get into the cell, where it regulates some of the metabolic activity of the cell There's also another receptor
4:46
located on the nucleus, which is the darker red complex in this picture, and vitamin D gets into the nucleus then. It forms a complex with some other molecules there, which then are able to
4:59
interact with the chromosomes and the DNA to change them and influence them. And there's one of the genes, which is a target gene, and that's a gene that controls cell growth and cell development.
5:15
cell reproduction.
5:18
It's called the RAS gene and what vitamin D does is inhibits that cell so it doesn't grow out of control and form cancer.
5:30
Now here are some of the activities that vitamin D has. If you look at the left side of the screen under number one you see the skin of vitamin E
5:41
in ultraviolet light
5:43
which is making vitamin D or if that doesn't happen we see it in the dietary intake under number two. Vitamin D is itself
5:58
active until it's modified and here it's going through modification and the kidney and liver and so forth and then it becomes a very active form in the body and in the blood which I mentioned and
6:12
here's number three. which says that it works on all of the cells in the body. And it influences cell cycle regulation and can form cancer if it's deficient. And the cancers occur in the prostate,
6:28
breast, and colon. And number four, you see that it has an influence over the calcium, hemostasis in the body or bone formation But on the left side, the right side of the screen, you see, if
6:44
it's deficient, it forms a disease called rickets, where you see bowing of the legs, or osteomyelacia, or osteoporosis,
6:52
which is common as people get older. And number five, you see it influences the immune system. And it stimulates it and it supports it, also because of its antimicrobial activity, whether it's if
7:08
it is deficient or not present.
7:12
the chance of infection rises. And Dr. Blalock will talk about this in detail. It can also act on the pancreas, which makes insulin. And if it's deficient, you have impaired glucose, the
7:27
tabulism and diabetes. It can work on the heart where it controls blood pressure. And if it's absence, you can get hypertension
7:39
It helps promote normal muscle development on number eight. And if it's absent, you get muscle malformation and increased falling. And the last one, number nine, Dr. Blylechol's discussion,
7:55
great deal, which is to effect on the brain.
7:59
And at the time this slide was made, there were not the developments that have occurred and he'll discuss them in detail but vitamin D is deficient. The cells in the brain do not work effectively
8:13
enough and it winds up producing confusion, memory disorders, memory loss, and can ultimately result in dementia.
8:25
So we hope those slides will help you remember and orient you to the discussion that's coming. Well, when I was in medical school, I'm sure your experience is the same as, we didn't discuss
8:39
vitamins at all, and we sure didn't discuss vitamin D. The metabolism of it, where it comes from, where it's the functional form of vitamin D, we didn't know any of these things. Well, a lot of
8:53
the things we've learned recently, but we didn't learn anything in medical school about it. And during my residency, they never discussed vitamin D at all. So most people assume that vitamin D
9:06
only has to do with bones. So, uh, for. bone formation, you need some vitamin D and most of vitamin D is in milk. In fact, they add vitamin D to milk. Whether there's a number of things that
9:21
we know about vitamin D now that we didn't know before, and there's a number of things about bone formation that the average physician just doesn't know. He's not a specialist in bone formation. He
9:34
doesn't know the biochemistry of it, the physiology of these things, and I found it to be quite fascinating. I was a mate, and so when you're exposed to the sunlight, the UV rays, UVA, UVB,
9:50
penetrate the outer layers of the skin, get down to the dermis, and there you have formation of vitamin D, and the vitamin D is transformed into a different form that can be functional, what we
10:06
call vitamin D3. Well, recently I found there's a whole bunch of forms of vitamins D rather than just D3, but D3 is very important. The kidney also has a lot to do with formation of vitamin D.
10:23
And you'll hear from doctors, well, don't take vitamin D over 400 units because it's toxic. Well, if you stay in the sun for an hour, your body produces 20, 000 units of vitamin D Now, if you
10:39
go to your average doctor, say, well, I'm going to take 20, 000 units of vitamin D, they would have a fit. They would
10:47
say, oh, that's toxic. You shouldn't take that. But your body produces that just from being in the sun for an hour.
10:57
And before all the clothes and the clothing and the skin blockers and stuff,
11:03
people used to make a lot of vitamin D. When I was growing up, when you were growing up, you see a lot of rickets. And that has to do with bone formation. It's a bowing of the legs. And we saw a
11:17
lot of them. Now you hardly ever would see a case of rickets, but rickets is coming back. And that's because the dermatologist scared of melanomas, convinced everybody, well, where had, where
11:33
clothing and cover all your exposed skin with this skin blocker? Well, now your skin can't make vitamin D. I asked a pediatrician who has one of the largest pediatric practices in Oregon. I said,
11:50
how many of your patients, 'cause he tested all of them? I said, how many were vitamin D deficient? He said, all of them, every one. So then I asked a doctor I said under he tested vitamin D
12:06
and adults. I said, How many of your patients are vitamin D deficient? He said, Essentially all of them. And so it's become a major problem as people are deficient in vitamin D. But one of the
12:19
things that people don't know about vitamin D, there's a carrier protein that carries your vitamin D or series of proteins that carry it through your bloodstream. These are called antimicrobial
12:31
peptides. And what they're doing is they're very powerful to killing microorganisms that invade your body. During the COVID pandemic, they found out, well, people who had very high, but high
12:46
normal vitamin D levels had an incredibly small mortality. Most of them didn't go in the hospital, they got over the infection very quickly, they had very few side effects. And so they started
13:00
looking at other places, they found the same thing People with high vitamin D. weren't dying from COVID. Well, that's true of other infections also, because these antimicrobial peptides, they've
13:11
studied them quite a bit recently and
13:15
they found out they're extremely important. They're very probably against viruses and
13:21
it gets bacteria. If your vitamin D is low, you have a high propensity to become infected from everything Pneumonium,
13:34
flu, all these diseases and people don't know that. And a lot of the practicing physicians that are never taught that. And if you don't study it individually yourself, they don't know it. Well,
13:49
the vitamin D, once it's carried to the various cells in the body, it detaches from
13:57
this antimicrobial peptide. It enters the cell and goes to the nucleus and they've got a vitamin D receptor. They just use initial BDR. and it affects the cell metabolism. And it has a lot to do
14:11
with how the cells function. And what they found is that if you take a group of demented patients, for instance, and tests are vitamin D, well, about 30 of them are more had low vitamin D. And
14:26
the incidence of dementia with low vitamin D is far higher than in those who have normal vitamin D So it has a lot to do with brain function, how the brain is functioning, and protection of the
14:40
brain is an antioxidant. It's keeping the microglia quiet, and we find that all of these neurological diseases have a great deal to do with activation of microglia. So many of these vitamins
14:55
quieten the microglia so that they're not secreting these harmful elements, the free radicals, the inflammatory chemicals like the cytokines
15:06
and especially the excitotoxin,
15:10
so that's very important. Now, can I just stop you? I have you talk a little bit 'cause that people in the audience may not know what a microglia is. We have these defense cells in our defense
15:22
system, which are the circulating white cells. People know that, but then we've got a blood brain barrier. There's a kind of a membrane barrier that prevents everything from getting into the brain.
15:33
That's understandable 'cause you don't want all these toxic things getting into the brain easily. Are the microglia, what function do they have? They're in the brain alone, aren't they? Yeah,
15:43
the microglia are the brain's special immune system. It has its own immune system. And when something happens, whether it's trauma, an infection, anything happens to the brain, immediately the
15:57
microglia are activated. When they're activated, they can rev up all their enzymes, sharks you're creating.
16:06
of cytokines which fights the infection and can inflame the brain, that's where you get encephalitis and autism and all these disease is that it's doing that. It also secretes a chemical glutamate
16:20
and a spartate which are excitotoxin. They produce even more free radicals and liver proctylation products and we know that what they do because the brain is more vulnerable than anywhere in the body
16:33
because it has a lot of polyunsaturated fats. It has far fewer antioxidants to protect it and so it's much more vulnerable than say would you liver or your heart or your pancreas or something else.
16:50
So it has to be protected by the microglia which you're trying to protect the brain. But the microglia can be harmful to the brain if they're activated and they don't become quiet. they can slowly
17:05
destroy the brain. Very good explanation. So we started out with vitamin D. We know that it comes from the skin and there's been this huge campaign. Cover your head, cover your skin. You're
17:20
gonna get melanoma, you're gonna get skin cancer and you can talk about that. I think that's been overemphasized. And what you do is the minute you do that, you shut off your vitamin D mechanisms
17:32
that you make if you don't take any vitamin D, you become deficient. And we're back where we were with vitamin B, B12. All of a sudden, I'm deficient in this small molecule. Nobody even knows
17:44
about it. I can't see it anywhere. It doesn't show up in an x-ray. And it's involved deeply in my thinking processes and many other things in my body. So where do we go from here? So we've got
17:58
vitamin D He probably is deficient, as you saw, the ear. study that was done,
18:07
it was in Washington or Oregon, 100 of his patients were deficient. Well, how do you know? You've got to go get that measured by your doctor. It's another test. You've got to have measured by
18:17
your doctor. What does he measure? Is it vitamin D? Is it vitamin hydroxide, two vitamin? Is there some specific test orders? Well, it's just vitamin D and they'll measure the vitamin D level
18:31
in the blood. A couple of things, you need to understand about vitamin D and this deficiency is
18:42
if you're not taking it orally, if you're not taking a pill or something to take, you increase your vitamin D. What we're used to do when we're a child is they give you cod liver oil and the liver
18:55
has a lot of vitamin D and it stores it. Excellent. So it's secretions, this cod liver oil, is very high in vitamin D level, and people usually eat a lot of liver, and so they get a lot of
19:08
vitamin D that way. Terrific point. So again, you're pointing to the fact our dietary habits have changed over the years, but we may not know what the change has affected us. That's right. And
19:22
so we're beginning to see a lot of people with low vitamin D. And like I said, we're beginning to see a return of rickets Rickets had disappeared because, you know, if I gave their child a cod
19:38
liver one, and they ate liver because they don't do that anymore. They eat junk food, food high in sugar, carbohydrates, smoothies, these kind of thing. And so now they don't have the vitamin D.
19:53
And what we found is the dermatology is wrong because they just know about skin. They don't know about the rest of it They said melanomas were not. Well, what they found is actually the melanoma is
20:06
much lower if the vitamin D level is higher and you're taking ant to oxidants.
20:13
And if people are taking ant to oxidants, then the melanoma's not increased by exposing the skin to the sun. Oh, you sure don't hear that? That's very sure. No. And by the way, vitamin D's one
20:27
of those fat soluble vitamins, which means it crosses, since it's soluble in fat, it gets across all the cell membranes, which are fat, so it can be distributed throughout the body. Is that
20:39
right? That's right. And particularly the brain, 'cause the brain's about 60 fat. Yeah, right. Okay, I got that. So what are some of the symptoms you've got to vitamin D deficiency? Well,
20:52
most people know about the bone, as the bone becomes soft, they become brittle. And as though you see this bow legs, which is rickets, but you can also see a domain here. And they found that of
21:04
the demented people, about a third of them, again, were vitamin D deficient. And they found dementia was much more common in people whose vitamin D was less than 30 microgram. And if you look at
21:22
the government's recommendation, they said, Well, no more than 35 milligrams of vitamin D is all you need. And they found out, well, that your infection rate, your dementia rate, and the other
21:39
disease rates are still higher, and they're much lower in people who at least raise their vitamin D level to at least 65 or 100. And 100 is about as high as you want to go in terms of your microgram
21:56
per liter for vitamin D Well, you know, I, Carol has happened to Carol and. And because I told you about my involvement in the metabolism that I had to learn about all this, she goes to the
22:11
doctor, comes down, comes back, and it said, You know, that you'll get the printout from the laboratory, says the normal range. Well, the normal range is in the 20s. And so she thought
22:23
everything was okay. And since we've known each other for 12 or 20 years here, you've told me about this many times, you said, No, that is not sufficient. Your blood level is not sufficient.
22:36
And what's written on those sheets is not accurate. It's almost three or four times what's written on that sheet. Is that right? That's right. I mean, they set the level at 35 nanogram per mill.
22:51
And it should be up close to 100. And they found that people have higher, have far less dementia, far less infection. Their bones are stronger. and they're healthy for health care. And they have
23:06
these antimicrobial peptide as well to help fight infection, not just depending on their immune system. You know, to the person who listens to this and they say, Watch this osprey and bla like
23:20
that. These guys are against doctors and they tell me all these terrible things. I don't hear this. Nobody writes about it in the paper The Epic Times has
23:33
a good nutritional section. But I mean, these guys must be crazy or something because I don't hear about it. And the answer is, what we're trying to point out to you is yes, you do not hear about
23:46
it. Many, just about every one of the things we've talked about says, no, the information you're getting is incorrect. Well, that's a pretty big slug for somebody who's had confidence in his
23:60
doctors.
24:02
I just read an item in the news this morning where Congress is interviewing people about the vaccines and measles and so forth. And they were interviewing the new head of the NIH. And he admitted
24:15
that the public has losing confidence in information coming from the
24:20
medical profession. That's true.
24:24
So now you've told us we got to have enough of this Normally, we're covering up because everybody covers up. They were wanting to have cancer. That's not true. And you make it in your skin. If
24:39
I'm dark skinned, do I make it as much because I must be absorbing a sunray somewhat? What's happening if I'm dark skin? Am I more deficient or less deficient? Well, you're more deficient. And
24:51
what they've shown is people who have dark skin need 50 more sunlight exposure than a light skin person never think that. No. No, and they don't tell people that. And I used to see black people
25:04
all the time and I would say, you need more sun exposure or you need a supplement. And I said, my doctor never told me that. And I said, well, it's cause they don't know that. You have to study,
25:17
the bowel cancer, vitamin D, and what we know about it, the studies that have been done, and then you find out. And so we start seeing, well, why black people have more heart attacks and
25:30
strokes than everybody else, of a different right. Well, because their skin is darker and they need more vitamin D, to get the same amount of vitamin D that the light skin person did.
25:42
Okay, so now we're getting into cancer. What effect does vitamin D have on cancer? Well, it also lowers the cancer risk of a number of cancers, like prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic
25:59
cancer. So a number of cancers, lung cancer, all of these cancer instances are lowered by raising the B12 low. I mean the D3 low. And so that's going to help prevent the cancer.
26:20
So if you don't have enough, this is if we don't have enough vitamin D, it doesn't help the nervous system, which has its own defense mechanisms and defense cells cause microglia, then they can't
26:33
they can't work properly and they don't defend the nervous system. So you get all these nervous system effects. Again, we talked about them with vitamin B12, I may start out to be non-specific and
26:45
then it blows up and oh my gosh, I think he's got dementia. And then you say, what else is going on? And I thought that I've got to cover my skin so I don't get cancer and that's actually the
26:59
opposite of what you need to do. You need to take antioxidants from what you're saying, take vitamin D, and you're going to have what would be the normal chance of anybody else, not an increased
27:11
chance. Well, actually, you have less of a chance. You have less chance, huh? Less of a chance. If you take the antioxidants, the things that fight lipid peroxidation, and then you're exposed,
27:24
your risk is far less because your skin is making about 20, 000 interactions, you're into vitamin
27:33
D3 every hour.
27:36
Now, can I take the first of all, I have to go to the doctor and I should get my vitamin D level chest. See why you're there getting your vitamin B12 checked, and probably your folate. You go
27:48
ahead and get your vitamin D level. And if it comes back in the normal range, you've got to ask him, well, I saw Russell on television and he said, it's got to be.
28:02
into 100, it's got to be around 103 or four times what it shows, 25 there on the sheet. And now I'm exposed to, I'm exposed to obviously bone problems, I were exposed to nervous system problems.
28:15
Now I'm exposed to cancer.
28:19
Can it get me, if I have strokes, does it help me with that?
28:24
It may, I mean, it has antioxidant capacity, but all the men that reach past middle age are worried about prostate cancer. Well, vitamin G significantly lower the risk of prostate cancer. And
28:43
so you have most people in society are severely deficient in vitamin D, you're gonna have a high rate of prostate cancer.
28:53
So what we've been talking about in this one in vitamin B12, and talking about these various different vitamins. Is there subtle change? Because we've changed from a farm-based diet and farming
29:07
society into an industrial society with all the pollutants and the toxins and everything else. And we've changed our diets now from what was to be a fish diet to should have been, was a meat diet
29:19
for a while. And now it's just a diet which is, I just read something yesterday, over 50 of the world's obese In fact, I read this this morning, that the disease which is gonna be the highest
29:32
killer in the Middle East is gonna be obesity. The rates of obesity are through the roof. So I'm eating all this junk food and it's giving me not only, not the right nutrients, but it's making me
29:47
obese. And so now I could have a chance of getting a stroke, but if I don't take this,
29:54
I'm not going to be as protective 'cause my microglia aren't as strong as they were in the defense mechanism bar. And now you're telling me I could get prostate cancer and so no wonder the disease
30:06
state of the country is worse.
30:10
That's right. And what you had to realize, this is starting very early in your life. I mean, you're going through adolescence and your teenage years and you're all the way up to be middle-aged and
30:23
you've been deficient the entire time. Like I said, this is pediatric practice of 1000. He didn't find a single child that had a normal B12 low. And it's because the doctor has been brainwashed
30:38
and we were that you don't want to get too much vitamin D because it's toxic. And like I said, they don't even know that your skin is producing 20, 000 units if you're so toxic. your skin wouldn't
30:53
produce it. And that along with the other vitamins, it's lowering your risk of many of these diseases playing a huge part.
31:05
So now we're getting into the things that RFK Robert Kennedy Jr. is trying to tell everybody that they were resisted about. Members, he was interviewed in Congress and you're against vaccines,
31:17
you're against this, you're against that. And he studied, I know you and I looked at this because he wrote a great book on COVID which was extremely well researched. He's done his homework. And
31:30
now he's worried about the fact 'cause he's seen this with his childhood foundation that he's working with. That America is sicker in this age category with younger people and exposed to more
31:44
diseases than they had when they were younger. And we've just been through an example And nobody would know, the doctor wouldn't know. Nobody's told this. So the question is, what does he do?
31:57
The doctor comes back and says you're deficient in vitamin D, which is the chance of that happening as low from reading the test and looking at the range, which says it was in normal. It's got to
32:08
be higher. So how do you get the vitamin D? Is there supplements you can take? I mean, you could take a supplement and have vitamin D through. And what they've shown is if you take 400 units of
32:19
vitamin D, like they recommend, your blood level's not raised at all. And it's not, it does not raise it all until you get over a thousand units of vitamin D orally. So they've been lying to
32:35
people thinking, oh, I'm raising my vitamin D because I'm taking 400 units in my milk or whatever. And they don't realize your vitamin D levels are not raised at all. You're still
32:49
deficient when they put out these normals saying that the normal is 25 nanogram per liter. You say, well, the research is not showing that. The research shows that's severely deficient, and that
33:02
the rates of dementia, infection, death are far higher if you're level is at that level.
33:11
You see, so anything less than 30 was considered to dramatically increase dementia. Interesting. I'm glad you brought that up because one of the other things is dementia. Okay, so I'm here to go
33:24
to the doctor. He says, Well, don't worry about it, it's 25, it's okay, you know it's wrong. You don't like it, you're uncomfortable with it. If I go to the store, I know I've spent there,
33:33
you see vitamin D everywhere. They're all going to be comparable or is not necessarily.
33:39
Well, now it may be the wrong kind of vitamin D. It may be poorly absorbed
33:46
And so like I said, you've got to have a high level or it's not absorbed at all. if they go to the store you see there's from the company A, there's company B, company C, is that a pretty
33:59
standard douche you don't have to worry that the amount you're getting is what they say or do you have to worry about that too? Well you had to worry about it because of like I said it's a
34:09
sub-optimal douche. But most of the milk has something like 2004 in an action units added to it and that won't raise your blood a deep three at all. So they and it's probably not on the bottle so
34:25
you have to take multiple multiples a day for example to get to the level and what you're saying the recommendation is how many units a day should you have? Well you could you could take it once a
34:36
day you should have at least 2, 000 in after units a day. Well let's say I take too much is that going to be a problem? Well it can be for some people but studies are showing that takes a very high
34:50
dose. So it's for tens of thousands. Okay, that's the point I wanna bring out. So if I go to the drug store and I know the doctor told me this and I don't have to do that, I've listened to you.
35:02
I'm very concerned about it. I'm gonna go get something off the shelf there and I'm gonna take it. I may take three pills a day, but I don't know if that's right. I gotta go and get my blood level
35:13
measured again, right? To make sure I'm doing the right thing. Yeah, usually one pill a day. Okay. And then you take it for a couple of weeks and go get another blood level. And if your blood
35:24
level shows it's normal, then you stop. If it shows it's over 100, then you wanna cut back on it. And it'll drop quickly.
35:34
So we've identified a silent disease. We've identified the cause. One of the simple causes, your body makes it. So the doctor tells you not to go on the sun. You're gonna get melanoma. I've seen
35:48
women go over these big hats and so forth. and you're not gonna be exposed to it. You're not gonna make it yourself. You will immediately cut off an enormous supply. I think you said 20, 000
35:58
units. Have you stayed in the sun for an hour? And so what are you doing to replace that? Well, nobody told me I had to replace it. The answer is you do. Right, because their level dropped to
36:11
nothing. Yeah. And then they do the level and a lot of people were found to have something like 10 nanograms, really Which is very low, even by their crazy standards. But all the research shows,
36:27
it's gonna be a lot higher than any
36:30
25. No, you're talking. You're talking the same thing we talked about earlier. You're talking about a molecule in the blood
36:39
that you can't see that makes all the machinery. And I'm using that as a kind of a metaphor here every cell which is basically a little factory. And if it doesn't have enough vitamin D3, it isn't
36:52
going to work properly.
36:55
And so you're in for trouble, but if it's one cell that's affected, that's not so much maybe, but if it becomes a billion or a million, or it's two billion, I think there's how many cells in the
37:08
body, and or not with the numbers, it's. Yeah, so you realize you have to get up to having a lot of them affected before you begin to see it, and that's when we begin to know about it, it's,
37:21
you're already in trouble. Yeah, and see, COVID was a perfect example of it. In Indonesia, they looked at people who had a level that was real high of vitamin D, they had almost no mortality,
37:37
and they looked at people that had low vitamin D, they had a very high mortality. Good point. And I remember they came out, there was a study, I actually came from a group in China. When they
37:50
had COVID where it started and there was one fella in there He was I think he was he was suppressed by the government who said you should take vitamin D You should take zinc and I think he had a
38:01
couple of other things in there And we know that I were maximum would help you which they were trying to stop you from taking so basically the things that were out there that were very important and
38:13
in stopping this disease they were either belittling or you couldn't get it and And And so that's what has happened, but And people said well if I took they had did studies where you just gave them
38:28
my vermectin and Nothing happened. Well, there's a number of things the doses were low, but they didn't give them zinc They didn't give them vitamin D. They didn't give them some of the other
38:37
things they needed So it wasn't a really a fair study of how you treat the disease. Is that right? That's right. It's just like the antibiotics. You could take an animal. and you can deplete it,
38:50
all of it's mental and vitamin, and you can get antibiotics all day long, it won't cure the infection. But if you do these things that help the body get rid of the infection, you don't need many
39:03
antibiotics. So we found out a lot of these things are helping. They're assisting the medical treatments that are being done, and the physician thinks, I'll just do the medical treatment Well,
39:18
that's not spicy.
39:21
Well, okay, is there anything else we didn't mention? I do, I will mention, and we put it up on the slides, is Russell writes a
39:30
newsletter calledThe Blalock Wellness Report. And we'll show you how you can subscribe to that if you want. And a lot of this stuff is covered in there. Is there anything else we didn't touch on,
39:47
Yeah, there's something that I found that was shocking to me, I didn't know of it. And it was that if the vitamin D is level high, aneurysms are very low. And that was true for both intracranial
40:01
aneurysms and aortic aneurysms. Very good point. And it's because it weakens the vessel and it's more likely to form an aneurysm. And so they found if you wanted to prevent aneurysm, for instance,
40:16
the person had them will take vitamin D and that'll help prevent a recurrence somewhere else. Excellent point, excellent point. And we've had that disease around for all of you in my life actually.
40:32
And we've really haven't had a very good treatment for it, we can do surgery on it, but we really don't know what starts it. People are just beginning to get into inflammation as one of the causes,
40:43
as you've talked about And so here's vitamin D. Okay, Russell, I think we covered it. I think so. I can't think of anything else we need to dug, but oh, there was one other thing. Sure. Is
40:57
how vitamin D prevents Alzheimer's disease. Okay. What they found is vitamin D significantly increases trim two. And you know, recently they found that people with Alzheimer's disease have low
41:12
levels of trim two Trim two helps prevent inflammation and free radical damage. So it plays a very important part in the brain in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
41:28
And so that's the connection to the vitamin D. Vitamin D significantly raises trim two levels. And it also increases brain derived neurotraffic factor, which helps brain repair and brain growth
41:44
So here's this tiny little molecule. that has just a huge diverse number of actions. And in order for it to be seen, you have to have a fair percentage of cells in your body affected, you're
41:58
already in trouble. That's right, you reached the endpoint. Yeah. Okay, Russell, another terrific job. We appreciate it very much. We'll look forward
42:14
to the next Dr. Blylec reports These are the key references in charts. We suggest you take screenshots of the following slides so that you can use them for your reference and records.
42:27
This is the first set of references.
42:31
Five references take a screenshot of this for your records.
42:36
This is the second set of five references on Dr. Blylec's talk on vitamin D.
42:45
This is the first slide we discussed early in the introduction,
42:52
