now I’ve done so many videos on the importance of vitamin D and why you should take it and why people are deficient I needed to create an opposite video on when not to take vitamin D silly because there’s always an exception to the rule that being said I do want to mention that vitamin D from my viewpoint is the most important nutrient simply because it’s really hard almost impossible to get from your diet and people are not outside anymore like they used to so they’re not going to get it from the Sun and the consequences of not having enough vitamin D for the immune system for your bones for your joints creating a whole back pain that being said there are certain conditions where you’d want to avoid taking vitamin D there’s really only one side effect from taking excessive amounts of vitamin D and that would be hypercalcemia okay too much calcium in the blood simply because vitamin D helps you absorb calcium by 20 times in the intestines so if you’re getting too much calcium in the blood that could be a problem specifically for the kidney okay kidney stones out of all of these symptoms for hypocalcemia bone pain excessive urination muscle weakness right here and depression and anxiety kidney stones would be the most serious but since a kidney stone is really a supersaturated calcium deposit with some oxalates or uric acid if you were to consume 2 to 2. 5 or more liters of fluid per day and keep your ox let’s kind of low by avoiding almonds and spinach and have some lemon juice that would cut the risk way way down and the second thing I want to mention is these conditions that I’m talking about are usually states where you’re also low in vitamin D but sometimes you’re not supposed to take vitamin D because of this furnace right here but some doctors will put you in vitamin D they’ll just monitor the calcium in your blood which i think is a smart thing for example the first condition started which is a condition which involves along the skin the lymph nodes that can involve other organs where you have this these abnormal immune cells that are stuck in the lungs encapsulating foreign toxin or microbe or something but really in only four to seven percent of the cases they’ll seat hypercalcemia not in 100 percent of the cases and actually a very low percent of cases but it’s just something you should look at if you have this condition and you’re taking vitamin D alright next condition is primary hyperparathyroidism this is a situation we have a tumor affecting the parathyroid and that’s producing a lot of parathyroid hormone which is dumping a lot of calcium into the body so you can actually have this condition right here and it could end up in the kidney as well so you just want to be aware of taking too much vitamin D or any vitamin D if you have this condition all right number three this is a rare genetic disease which I probably shouldn’t even put on the list because it’s so rare but I wanted to just mention it familial hypocalcemic hypercalcemia in this condition you have hyper too much calcium okay and so that would be one condition we you would want to avoid vitamin D before lithium can have an effect of creating excessive calcium in the blood so that is another thing on the list okay number five diuretics specifically hydrochlorothiazide so the problem is as you get rid of the fluid you can also get rid of calcium which could end up in your kidney so if you take more calcium it’s gonna cause more calcium to go in the blood and end up in the kidney potentially but it’s something to know about okay number six certain cancers will cause hypercalcemia and number seven if you have a hyper thyroid condition where your thyroid is working too much that could dump a lot of calcium into the blood as well so realize these are the things that occur very rarely but the most common thing is someone has a deficiency but this is the main problem and some of the symptoms that could potentially happen with this could be kidney stones bone pain excessive urination muscle weakness and depression alright thanks for watching so if you want more knowledge on how to create a healthy body subscribe now and get daily notifications
