Few of the currently widely-used vaccines would genuinely be worth the trouble if everyone supplemented vitamin D3 sufficiently to attain, in general, at least 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (made in the liver from vitamin D3 cholecalciferol). This is what the immune system needs to deliver full-strength innate and adaptive responses to bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens and to greatly reduce the risk of wildly-dysregulated hyper-inflammatory inflammation - indiscriminate cell destruction. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D is not a hormone. It does not regulate anything. The 50 ng/mL level enables enough 25-hydroxyvitamin D to diffuse into immune (and other) cells so that each cell's vitamin D based intracrine (inside the cell) and paracrine (to nearby cells) signaling systems can work properly. These signaling systems are only turned on in specific circumstances. When they work properly, they change cellular behaviour, in response to the cell's changing circumstances. The condition to activate the signaling cascade differs from one cell type to the next, as does the dozens or hundreds of up- and down-regulated genes which alter the cell's behavior.
For 70 kg 154 lb body-weight, to attain this proper 50 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D level, 0.125 mg 5000 IU vitamin D3 a day is required. Please see Prof. Sunil Wimalawansa's recent article "Rapidly Increasing Serum 25(OH)D Boosts the Immune System, against Infections - Sepsis and COVID-19" https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/14/2997 and the research articles cited at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ , starting with the first graph there, from Quraishi et al. 2014: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/1782085 which shows post-operative infections rising dramatically in proportion to how far below 50 ng/mL the patient's pre-operative 25-hydroxyvitamin D was.
Without such proper supplementation, which is more than most doctors think necessary, or even safe, many people's 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are between 5 and 25 ng/mL, which entails risk of both hospital-acquired and surgical site infections of 45% to 18% respectively, while all those with 50 ng/mL or more 25-hydroxyvitamin D had risks of 2.5%
But where would be profit or priestly glory in that?
Instead most doctors pretend to think of themselves as akin to priests, injecting a tiny concoctions made by angels in distant, very high-tech, laboratories, to (supposedly) protect each individual and elevate them to a class of cleanliness, distinct from the unclean masses not so blessed.
Most people and doctors think that influenza vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalisation and death. However, simple, very solid, research in England and Wales, shows that for 65 year olds, whose rate of vaccination more than doubles from age 64 to 66 due to a government campaign, there is no detectable decrease in the rate of hospitalisation or death from influenza or other respiratory diseases, which increases steadily with age: https://nutritionmatters.substack.com/p/influenza-vaccines-do-not-reduce
Vaccines - and both the public and medical professional's unrealistic beliefs about them - very often *are* the problem. Vaccines are given instead of recommendations and support for proper nutrition and/or early treatment. This is the crime against humanity of the COVID-19 responses, but we can see that this obsession with vaccines to the exclusion of better, less glamorous, less pseudo-sophisticated approaches, has a long history.
That's about right if your D is low. When you get into taking more than 5000IU per day, it's important to also take K2. The D3 drives calcium into your bloodstream, and the K2 makes sure that calcium goes to bones, not elsewhere, like the linings of your blood vessels. Get sun exposure too, if possible. Vitamin D is fat soluble, and can be stored in the body, so people can overdo it.
As I learned in the beginning of my natural healing career over 52 years ago, the current line of demarcation started with the difference between Louis Pasteur v. Antonine BeChamp. From that understanding, I came to say, "There isn't anything mankind can do that our Creator through Nature has not already done. Never underestimate the power of either." It is so refreshing to read from medical professionals, including allopathic medical doctors, expressing the wisdom of nature.
I hope and pray this trend of going back to the future using natural healing and natural medicine continues. - Dr. James Chappell
Personally, I do not feel that any vaccine is worth the risk. But that's me. I have done enough research to understand that no shot called a vaccine can protect against infection. The shots only result in serum antibodies that might reduce severity of symptoms AFTER infection occurs. The problem is, the adjuvants that are used in shots called vaccines are toxic and can result in significant adverse effects. Some people can eliminate these toxins quickly, others cannot. Every person needs to be able to make their own risks vs benefits decision for self and child. It's always important to remember that even if an infection occurs, there are safe treatments available. I encouraged my patients to not vaccinate their children, and many took my advice. I raised my own child vaccine free.
These past 2 years have really opened my eyes to the lies we've been told for decades. I never go see a Dr unless I have pneumonia or I've broken a bone.
The 1st and last time I got a flu shot was 1993, and I ended up with double pneumonia.
There's no way I would even consider taking the covid shots. The whole idea seemed sketchy to begin with. When the coersion and mandates started, I knew for sure something was very "off."
The only shots I'd consider taking is for rabies--if I got bit by a rabid animal.. Sadly, Drs have lost my trust in them because the majority have pushed a false agenda of vaccines--without questioning why.
I'm rewriting the entire book with covid updates chapter by chapter, publishing each one on substack, and will compile the entire rewrite into one searchable pdf file for a free download when finished.
Thank you for this information Dr. Stillwagon. I'm wondering if you know about a theory that multiple smallpox shots could cure herpes? Back in the late 70s or early 80s my then GP said there was a chance that herpes could be cured by a smallpox shot once a month for 12 months. I dutifully succumbed. The herpes was not 'cured' and I wonder what damage was done to my body by repeated shots. It was shortly after that time that I began questioning allopathic medicine and, wherever possible, used natural healing techniques.
This idea came out of doctors unethically experimenting on their own patients in the 1930's and 40's, and writing about their observations. In 1954, the speculation was that the vaccinia virus when injected in the smallpox shot, would create antibodies that were "close enough" to latch onto the herpes virus after an infection and be able to reduce herpes symptoms. Unfortunately, repeated introduction of the vaccinia virus into people ended up creating vaccinia infections, similar to the symptoms of smallpox. The FDA then warned doctors in the 1980's to stop doing this.
If you did not experience smallpox like symptoms, your body most likely was able to clear the vaccinia virus that was injected.
Thank you so much for replying. I didn't experience any symptoms that I can recall. I wondered if that many vaccines might have contributed to a later Hashimotos diagnosis though.
Autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's are always a possibility with injecting too many antigens in "vaccines". The reason is because the immune system will sometimes skip the T-cell to B-cell communication that is supposed to prevent B-cells from making suboptimal antibodies. The B-cells can start cranking out crappy antibodies that can attack your own body cells. This has been known for decades. I can't say for sure it happened to you.
Anyone who ever grew up in a neighborhood run by the Mob understands how the big lie works. when the big loe runs through generations it is no longer a big lie but an uncomfortable but agreed upon "truth".

> if everyone supplemented vitamin D3 sufficiently to attain, in general, at least 50 ng/mL
How much does the average adult male need to take daily to achieve this 50ng/mL? I'm 200 lbs, so about 7500IU?
That's about right if your D is low. When you get into taking more than 5000IU per day, it's important to also take K2. The D3 drives calcium into your bloodstream, and the K2 makes sure that calcium goes to bones, not elsewhere, like the linings of your blood vessels. Get sun exposure too, if possible.

Beware of who and how vitamins are made!

Hi Dr Stillwagon, do you think any vaccine available today is worth the risk? If you had a newborn today, how would you do it?

The shots only result in serum antibodies that might reduce severity of symptoms AFTER infection occurs.
