I consider myself as someone who thinks they know a lot about vitamin D. Having said that, we really don’t know much about vitamin D as there is no money to be gained from such research. The population is drastically sunlight deficient due to bad advice and we’re the sickest we’ve ever been as evidenced by declining life expectancy.
Henry is working on it. He says about the vitamin K dose, "Japan said it was maybe 30 mg
the US and the rest of the world says a microgram or two". I say, in today's world, never attribute to incompetence what might be malice, the opposite of Hanlon's Razor, which states, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence". So I am going to increase my dose to 30 mg.

That's all I needed to read to convince me. For a long, vibrant life, adopt this simple heuristic: if they're wearing white lab coats, run the other way.

Hi Doc. Someone commented on a positive comment I made about DMSO and you replied and said "This agent is a paid psy op. Read his comments carefully." There are several "agents" on Substack so I didn't know if you meant me or someone else. I certainly don't receive any money to promote DMSO. I'm just relating my honest experiences that it has helped me tremendously. I thought you approved of DMSO usage but I might be mistaken. I hope you were talking about a different agent. I've always enjoyed your work and commented positively here several times.
Could be. There are quite a few people that use variations of the "agent" moniker. Haha, maybe I should change my username. I used to use my actual first name but there was another person with the same name commenting on the same stacks and it got confusing.
No problem. I really enjoy your content and I just didn't want to get kicked off your stack over a different person's comments or mistaken identity. Haha, I promise you won't get any trouble out of me. Keep up the good work and I'm praying for your health.
I began taking 10,000 I.U. daily beginning in mid-2020 and continued for 3 years or so then cut may dosage daily or every 3rd day with 6,000 to 10,000 I.U. from a vegetable oil dropper. Only one doctor in my life put Vit. D analysis in my lab blood work. Of course the insurance company would not pay for it. My level was 65 ng/m, 2 years ago, all my other blood markers were within standard expectations including calcium.
If you check sites such as the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, etc. They state:
"Preventing vitamin D toxicity
To help prevent vitamin D toxicity, don't take more than 4,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D unless your healthcare professional tells you to. Most adults need only 600 IU of vitamin D a day."
I did not believe them based on my own blood levels.
The fact the Vit. D testing is ignored tells me a lot.
I just read an article from "THE EPOCH TIMES" Mind and Body section titled "why Musculoskeletal Diseases Are Rising" from their Aug 9-12, 2025 news paper. (We get their weekly news paper by mail.
Vit. D was included, in brief.
The COVID scam taught me a lot about hospitals, pharma, and doctors. I have little trust in "medicine" these days.
The brand of D is pretty important, I think. Just sayin'. I was taking 10kIU of the store brand and only got my D up to 49. Things improved a lot when I started taking a better brand of D. More expensive, but I got what I was paying for. And yes, I was taking a K supplement at the time.
I might try this, but I have tried taking vitamin D multiple times at what would be considered low doses 5000 iu. Always end up with problems, constipation, insomnia.., I have taken with magnesium, k2 and zinc. So not sure what problem is. I will add boron and try again. Praying for your success Dr.Yoho
Long ago my mother dressed me up in my heavy winter clothes, put the long chair on the balcony for me to lay in, covered me with a blanket and make sure my face, neck and eyes would be exposed to the low winter sunlight. I laid there for an hour or so, for a few days, each of them ending with warm broth and plenty of sleep. After which, the bronchitis left and I returned to my child life. Today I would have been "super antibiotiqued", quarantined in my room and fed processed garbage because my mother would have to go to work and... I'd have a weakness now in my lungs and my biodome would be depleted!
So many pills that people forget to eat real trad foods. Fermented foods and organ meats are no longer part of the typical American diet where so much perfectly bioavailable nutrition is provided.
Regarding this:
"Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
Source: Made by animals (including humans!) and found in animal products
How it's made: Your skin makes it when exposed to sunlight (UVB rays)."
This FAQ deceives or ignores that D3 supplant is made using sheep's wool (lanolin, I believe) with not so benign chemicals in the process. Not comparable to the mechanism of D3 synthesis from sun exposure. Also cholecalciferol is the active ingredient in rat poison. It's listed on MSD sheets as "rodenticide."
I've spent quite a number of hours looking into D3. If synthetic D3 has any benefits, it's likely due to some hormetic effect. Here's The Material Safety Data Sheet for cholecalciferol. I guess "the dose makes the poison."
I have a friend who commented today on his vitamin D3 nightmare on the Unbekoming substack. I was the friend that he mentioned who brought up the D3 issue with his situation and he admitted he was taking a lot of it, but far from 40,000-100,000 X as brought up by Tamara. His life-changing pain issue subsided when he quit the D3.

IODINE: Essential or Dangerous? Why You Need Iodine? How Much?
I was hoping this might be the video (by KenDBerryMD I heard weeks back about Amiodarone containing the large dose of iodine, but I still find it an interesting video. It says 2024 in the title, but was first post in 2019, and does have some links in relation to his advice given.
I have only heard one of the two doctors mentioned talk about the Amiodarone containing 75mg iodine in a YT video, which I will check and update with the link (once found), being pretty sure it was Ken Berry MD who mentioned it.
Thank you, very interesting information about Borax (Boron), which is something I have heard good things about, and expect Robert Yoho MD @Robert Yoho, MD has already posted about, which I have not yet read?
My dad used to have Warfarin (rat poison), a few decades back, which I’m sure was for a heart condition (Irregular heartbeat/ Atrial Fibrillation) added with Amiodarone, being another medicine he was prescribed…
A medicine which I heard either Dr Eric Berg @Dr. Eric Berg, but more likely being Ken D Berry MD @Ken Berry, MD mention (on a video about Iodine) about it containing 75mg of Iodine, which made me think no wonder my dad hardly ever showed signs of illness back then, while taking the Amiodarone.

Hey Doc! The link to your Index does not work. It says page not found.
I was looking for your instructions on how to get started with substack...
Hi Doc. Someone commented on a positive comment I made about DMSO and you replied and said "This agent is a paid psy op. Read his comments carefully." There are several "agents" on Substack so I didn't know if you meant me or someone else. I certainly don't receive any money to promote DMSO.

I've always enjoyed your work and commented positively here several times.
Not you. I suspect.
Might be the "Agent" Unbecoming is getting his "Vitamin D is rat poison data from though...
Could be. There are quite a few people that use variations of the "agent" moniker. Haha, maybe I should change my username. I used to use my actual first name but there was another person with the same name commenting on the same stacks and it got confusing.
maybe I got the wrong "Agent" sorry
No problem. I really enjoy your content and I just didn't want to get kicked off your stack over a different person's comments or mistaken identity. Haha, I promise you won't get any trouble out of me. Keep up the good work and I'm praying for your health.

get the 50,000 IU capsules
I might try this, but I have tried taking vitamin D multiple times at what would be considered low doses 5000 iu. Always end up with problems, constipation, insomnia.., I have taken with magnesium, k2 and zinc. So not sure what problem is. I will add boron and try again. Praying for your success Dr.Yoho
30 to 45 mg of K a day from life extension; read the top of the post, which I reedited...
Hey doc, could you look into b17 aka laetril aka amygdalin aka apricot kernals aka apple seeds please?
I just dried a bunch of apricot kernels and now I'm worried about the possibility of "cyanide poisoning"?
PS: Tastes like bitter almonds.
