Date: 1/090 It costs nothing, but could mean everything for you. There used to be quite a lot of research published on urotherapy, also known as shivambu, but over the years it seems to have disappeared, leading some to believe it's unsafe. But if done properly, drinking your own waters can be life-saving! Years ago, someone posted a playlist of instructional videos by Gary Ward on the topic: Your Own Personal Pharmacy. I encourage anyone who has a health concern to consider his words, particularly if you have taken the shot and feel concerned about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOAURYWqXiI&list=PLXoqBzkSx4GZpFVisX6f-sG92cNCsAZJm Date: 1/061 Somebody sent me a video by a guy whose YouTube channel name is Dr. John Campbell who says he’s a nurse. And the video was of him and a physician talking about Vitamin D and how deficient everybody is, almost as though Vitamin D deficiency is a big illness or something. So I entered Vitamin D research on Google and read the first few papers that came up on the first page. Here are the links:
https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3356951/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/12/231201194255.htm https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6337085/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18689389/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7770490/ All the articles basically said that Vitamin D does the following:
But stated it in such a way as to imply not the Vitamin D actually did all these great things, but that Vitamin D deficiency may reduce all these great things. I found that interesting. So let’s take each of these items one by one. BONE HEALTH One of the main benefits listed in most studies of Vitamin D is that it promotes the absorption of calcium and increases bone health. But this may not always be the case. One study said increasing dietary calcium does little for bones. https://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h4183 Another says Vitamin D doesn’t prevent bone fractures in children. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/12/231201194255.htm When I looked up the research on bone health, none of the articles said anything about Vitamin D. They pretty much all agree that weight bearing exercise or resistance exercises promote bone health. Of course, this is common knowledge and research is plentiful. Here are some of the articles I found: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6279907/ https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/slowing-bone-loss-with-weight-bearing-exercise\ https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/osteoporosis/in-depth/osteoporosis/art-20044989 INFLAMMATION Multiple studies show that managing stress, getting exercise and eating fruits and vegetables all help prevent inflammation in the body. This, too, has become common knowledge and the research on that is so prolific that I won’t list the studies here. But again, Vitamin D was not mentioned as a mitigating factor in the articles I read on reducing inflammation in the body. IMMUNE FUNCTION More and more research is showing that healthy gut microbiome is strongly related to immune function. Spending time in nature and hanging out with other people who have healthy gut microbiomes were listed as ways to boost immunity. Was Vitamin D mentioned in any of the studies on how to build immunity? Not that I saw. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33319792/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969722005149?via%3Dihub https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-78642-2 CANCER CELL REDUCTION Again, I’ll say, eating fruits and vegetables is well-known to reduce the risk of cancer and common knowledge, and so I won’t list that research either. Vitamin D was not mentioned in any of the studies I read. BLOOD PRESSURE Researchers seem to agree that watching your salt intake, managing stress and getting plenty of exercise all help maintain healthy blood pressure as shown in the articles below. Vitamin D is not mentioned. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279237/ https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-pressure/in-depth/high-blood-pressure/art-20046974 https://www.bridgeportct.gov/news/lowering-blood-pressure-what-research-says When researching specific health factors such as maintaining bone density, reducing cancer risk, increasing immune function, maintaining healthy blood pressure and reducing inflammation, none of the studies I found said anything about Vitamin D. It seems to me that if Vitamin D were so important to all these things, it would show up in research that address these things. But it doesn’t. So here is my question for Dr. Campbell: Since all the benefits of Vitamin D can be obtained without Vitamin D through common sense living: eating fresh fruits and veggies, going for walks in nature, spending time enjoying friends and family, and keeping your stress level to a minimum, why label it as some sort of deficiency? There’s plenty of evidence that humans don’t have all that much Vitamin D. What is missing is the evidence that we need all that much. Opinions abound, but research is scant. Here are two articles I think interested readers might appreciate: Vitamin D, the Sunshine Supplement, Has Shadowy Money Behind It https://archive.is/G6diM Do vitamin D supplements help prevent fractures? Here’s what a study found. https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2022/07/28/vitamin-d |
