This is such a great and so very needed discussion, not to mention the least found anywhere. There are hundreds of new posts every day of articles, videos and ads recommending supplements, but almost no discussions about differences such as between D2 & D3, Omega 3, 6 and 7, and how often, home much, loading doses v. maintenance, contraindications between supplements and other prescribed meds… Hope you keep having these discussions monthly, if not weekly, then divide up and categorize all the most common supplements and their benefits for various health conditions and prevention purposes for each discussion. If you do, I’ll be posting here all the supplements I take on and off and encourage my subscribers to do the same as I cross-post this discussion to my Notes.
This is interesting. My Parkinson's is worse (started salivating) and tinnitus continues. I think this confirms the mercury diagnosis, which I was not sure about. I'm doing phosphatidylcholine chelation soon. My advisers including Mark Kinnard and Scott Schroeder have assured me that mercury symptom improvement takes months. Best
Doc, will you talk here about the P. diagnosis and what you have tried so far, and what it's been like...? Rooting for you. There must be people out there who have been able to heal? What about thiamine? (Hug.)
Thanks for the love everyone is sending my way. Yes, I'm working on the PD seven weeks now from my Mexico trip to Dr. Lagos. More later but here's a summary. I'm worse since amalgam removal, with new salivation symptoms. This seems to confirm the cause as mercury. No matter how careful a dentist is, he cannot avoid some mercury escape. I've been off to see various wizards since and am starting phosphatidylcholine chelation soon. Yes to thiamine; my dosing is somewhat inconsistent but I'm taking at least 500 mg a day. I'm on some 19 other pills, nostrums, powders, and magic capsules, and it's bewildering. I take glycine to help my body get rid of glyphosate, for example. I'm still trying to remediate my EMF exposure, I get sun when I can, and have a near infrared 4-bulb set from sauna space that is an improvised sauna/radiation treatment. Overall, I'm cool but concerned. Scott Schroeder and others say that I should have my symptoms clear somewhat at the three month mark or later as my body slowly gets rid of the cursed metal. Perlmutter says that unfortunately PD symptoms continue b c at the time of diagnosis a lot of damage has been done. Gotta tolerate it all; nothing else for it. Best and I'll keep you in the loop.
What about a zeolite to remove mercury? Have you researched that? Also, I take a lot of supplements too, am 60 years young and worry about my liver and kidneys. I use walk in labs.com to get blood work done. Any special tests I should get to test for liver and kidney function or just the normal panels?
Thank you Dr Yoho! I just discovered you through James Roguski yesterday and probably spent about eight hours of my day reading your substacks or listening to your interviews!! Truly awesome info that is much needed!!
I'm a mastodon so I've never used Facebook much. Just go to the bottom of any of my posts and hit reply and leave your phone number and we can chat. I'm 7 hours away from CA time right now so I may not be able to call unless you also leave your time zone.
Please advise a fish oil that is not rancid. I take krill oil because I have been told that fish oils are unsafe. I do take 10,000 IU of D daily. My D levels in summer are around 90 due to sun exposure. My D levels in winter are around 70. Are you aware that individuals with MTHFR have difficulty absorbing vitamins and minerals? Do you recommend different dosing for those people? What about sodium? My sodium was low the last time it was tested. This research is important because doctors have no clue about the health benefits of supplementing. Vitamins and minerals have been so badly depleted from our food supply that it is no longer possible to obtain adequate amounts in our diet.
I am interested to hear Dr Yoho's favorite, but mine in Biotics Research Biomega-1000. This triglyceride form is from fish caught in the South Eastern Pacific, rapidly processed and stabilized with mixed tocopherols.
Deborah, first of all, fish oil is molecularly distilled to eliminate mercury, furans, PCBs and other by products of industrialization. There are brands that are less rigorous, but those brands are often singled out in laboratory analyses published at ConsumerLab.com. ConsumerLab has no financial interests in promoting one brand over another.
The link you posted is a marketing site for a brand of fish oil claiming higher purity than the competition. The issues over peroxidation are valid, and the site does a good job of explaining the chemistry involved. Unfortunately, since it is selling its own line of Omega 3s, its diffuse jab at other companies leave it no more credible than the CDC.
Could you address questions on the second part with Mr Lahore from another substack from 10/24/2022 Why Vitamin D Supplements Don't Work-The power couple - Roman Shapoval? Thanks for all you do!
When Mr. Lahore referenced Vitamin D tests, he seemed to always be referring to the calcidiol (25-hydroxy Vitamin D), which is the storage form of Vitamin D. I never once heard him refer to calcitriol testing (1,25 dihydroxy Vitamin D), the active form of Vitamin D. I have heard others refer to the 25-hydroxy test as worthless for basing dosage of Vitamin D therapy on, because one can be deficient in that form but at the same time have sufficiency of the active form. When you further interview him, could you please discuss the issue of calcidiol vs. calcitriol levels.
Also, I have two genetic snps that negatively affect Vitamin D Binding Protein. Could you also discuss VDBP? Is this different than Vitamin D receptor issues.
I began this journey on Earl Mendell's Vitamin Bible, in my 20's, he said Zinc is the Master mineral. During the Plandemic all I took was the Vit/min formula, but added in Qunine Bark, no jabs, no Covid, not even a cold. Herbs don't seem to work well for me compared to actual Vits/Mins.
OK, please tell me what I have failed to understand.
I have very pale skin and fairly light blue eyes. I live in Australia, and I collapse after about 10 minutes exposure to the fierce Australian sun. I presumed that my collapse was Vitamin D poisoning, and I have successfully treated it all my adult life by carrying some form of Vitamin A with me as an "antidote" if I am forced to stay out in the sun. The A (usually in the form of fish oil) immediately fixes the symptoms of what I think is Vitamin D poisoning. This means I have always been reluctant to supplement with D. My D is within the range that doctors find acceptable, but is nowhere near the levels that some doctors on-line are now talking about. So educate me please.
Vitamin D is absorbed through the skin from sun exposure. Many people form a natural "umbrella" to the sun's rays in the form of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color in ranges from pale and freckled of those adapted to Northern climates to the ebony of the inhabitants of mankind's first home in Africa. Your genetics equip your skin to gather UV in the Northernmost extremes, and probably survive well with rather low serum D levels, but you, as so many people whose ancestors settled in Australia, are displaced globally from your genetic origins.
The likelihood you will be "poisoned" by vitamin D from sun exposure is doubtful, as the biochemical lesion of Vitaminosis D is hypercalcemia and soft tissue calcification from Calcium dysregulation. Biochemically, reddening of the skin, called erythema, as a result of sun exposure, limits the further creation of vitamin D in the skin. So as soon as you start burning, you stop producing.
I will defer to Dr Yoho when he reviews this in regards to a differential for possible reactions to the sun you are experiencing. I would wonder if you experience a rash of some kind.

The reason I ask is that I am not "obeying the rules" as per the medical industry. I burn within about 2 minutes and NEVER tan to any degree so there is no way I am staying out in the sun without serious protection. This is a self-diagnosis, but what happens to me fits all the symptoms of sunstroke, which I have always understood is Vitamin D poisoning, and I have confirmed that by using vitamin A successfully to treat the collapse. I particularly have to keep the suns rays off the hump of my back by using a very large brimmed hat or an umbrella. A few minutes with sun's rays on my back directly, even through clothes, will cause weakness, nausea and loss of balance.
Whilst I generally approve of advice to increase levels of D - a lot of darker skinned Australians suffer from SAD over winter - it concerns me that there are exceptions, maybe genetically based, so maybe including many very white people, who will be harmed by this kind of advice, particularly if they live in a sunny place. But this is all about sun exposure not about supplementation. Maybe they operate differently in the speed at which the D enters the body and is assimilated.
Do doctors know of potential dangers of high vitamin D exposure for those genetically designed for northern climates?
Does this cover both direct sunlight and supplementation?
Do the recommended desirable levels vary according to skin or eye colour? IE do light skinned people NEED less than dark skinned people to maintain the same level of health?
No, I don't experience a rash, just burning, and though I do describe myself as allergic to the sun, that is just a shorthand to get the message across to people who want me to stay in the sun. My serious reaction comes from sunlight through my eyes and from sun through clothing on my upper back. I am aware that others do experience a rash which is called an allergy, but that is not my issue.
Well, as a point of personal reference, my half Nordic/half Mediterranean daughter is very light skinned, and does not really tan. She got her mother's beauty wrapped in my ancestral skin--although I tan somewhat. She burns in minutes in the Summer sun. She does not get a rash, and does not suffer weakness or nausea. She lives at 9500 ft elevation in Colorado, and as long as she is covered, she can work and climb 14K ft peaks with her husband without (much) fatigue.
What you appear to describe is heat stroke, also called sun stroke. I have helped hikers with this on the trail in the arid Southwestern US on 2 or 3 occasions, all women, although men are statistically more at risk. It is not a biochemical response to hypervitaminosis D, but rather an overheating and exhaustion. The temporal relationship you describe would reduce the likelihood of that, but I don't know your level of conditioning or the actual ambient temperature you are exposed to. Hopefully, Dr Yoho will weigh in here, and give his impression.
Thankyou. Heat stroke would be a possibility (I do overheat quite dramatically) but if that was the case would it be fixed by vitamin A? 10 minutes in the sun should not cause exhaustion, so that would only be the case if one was already seriously compromised.
10 minutes in the sun should not cause exhaustion. You note your antidote is vitamin A in the form of fish oil, but fish oil contains no A. According to USDA Food Composition Database, 1 gram (or even 100 grams) of fish oil from sardines, herring, salmon and menhaden contains 0 (zero) μg vitamin A. I can't imagine the fish oil's anti-inflammatory effects could work fast enough to explain the results you experience. I am stumped.
Because of Dr. Yoho , I have added vitamin D at much higher doses with K and iodine. It pushed my energy level higher. I used to be rather fair skinned but living in Southern California which is very sunny as well, I no longer so fair.
This was a great substack. Cannot wait for Part Duex! I have been wanting to eliminate some supplements and this helped so much to cut back. And, taking D in large doses once or twice a week instead of everyday. Learned so much and so grateful you kept querying about receptors - was a little lost but total understand now. Thanks for another great substack!!!
This is fantastic information and thanks so much Dr. Yoho for putting it together. I had no idea about the levels of Vitamin D needed. Makes total sense. Hoping you will start feeling great very soon and that the removal of the mercury is what you needed in your quest for good health. It’s quite the trip, exploring these options. I wonder if CBD might be of some help as well. The cannabis plant was used for many health issues back in the day before Rockefeller, Carnegie and other money-grubbing perps besmirched its good name with the Reefer Madness movie farce and the like. The cannabinoid receptors in our bodies are very interesting indeed. Sending prayers and hugs to you. Heather
When you say Henry Lafore takes a cofactor this ur that supplement what does that mean?
Also, I have read in the past about dosing with high levels of vitamin D but never knew how. I just got the Vit D product you recommended from Amazon and the Vit K cofactor you recommended. I went to Lafores website and am starting today on the 50K loading dose for 10 days with vit K2 cofactor (one of both everyday). My vit D levels have been hovering at about 30 for a few years. I’m 60 years young so I decided to do (is it called) a loading dose for ten days then do a maintenance dose. I’ll let everyone know how it goes.
I just got an HS-CRP test back and it’s a 10 so I’m not very happy. I started weight training with a young, aggressive buck anbout two months ago and pulled my back out (won’t get an MRI or CT scan). That could be why my HS CRP is elevated or for other reasons. Im going to eat great, take tumeric, walk everyday and take Vit D as well as the Boswelia product discussed earlier and hope and pray that this regime gets it down quick!!
Thank you for all you do. There is no other substack like this!! Im just fascinated. I love to learn about creating optimal health!! I’m obsessed with learning about it!! You explain things in layman terms which is incredibly helpful. Blessings, peace and health!!
I wanted to give those interested an update on my Vit D levels. Before the mega dosing protocol, my vitamin D levels were 28. I did the megadosing about a month ago for 10 days. As a sidenote, in the middle of the 10 day megadose, I caught bronchitis!! Anyway, yesterday I went to go get my vitamin D levels, checked and for the first time in my life, it’s at 55.!! So, I’m super excited. And, thanks to Dr. Tamara Santa Ana’s help, I got my HS CRP down to 1.6 by mega dosing on 45,000 mg of NAC, plus colostrum!!
Also, six days ago my husband caught Covid and was hacking his brains out. He quarantined and needless to say, I didn’t get Covid!! Praise God and Vit D and NAC!!!

Off topic for Dr Yoho. Since removing your amalgams, has your tinnitus continued improving?

Dr Yoho, do you know about Earth Clinic? I often find useful info there if I comb through it carefully. There are two entries for Parkinson's.
Best wishes!

Answers are complex and you need help. I suggest Dr. Tamara to start: drsanta@ymail.com

Wow. Thanks a lot for replying. I was hoping to hear better news, but I guess Rome wasn't built in a day. Best of luck in your continued efforts.
I am embarking on the phosphatidylcholine chelation journey as well. Dr Baxas convinced me!

It might be best to take Vitamin K2 at different time than Vitamin D
https://vitamindwiki.com/Vitamin+D+blocks+Vitamins+K1%2C+A+%E2%80%93+2015
Consider including A and E as they also both clobber K.
