The #1 Secret to Activating Your Cancer-Killing Cells

Vitamin D deficiency can cause more health issues than most people realize. Discover the surprising connection between vitamin D and your immune system, and why maintaining healthy vitamin D levels is so important.

The real purpose of vitamin D, no one is telling [music] you about. Everyone who’s taking vitamin D pretty much knows vitamin D is good for your bones, boosting your immune system, which actually is not true. Also, they might take it for colds. [music] And I’ve been teaching people about health for the last 40 years, and I don’t think anyone, including myself, has really explained [music] what I’m about to explain, the real purpose of vitamin D. And once you understand this, the biggest chronic illnesses right now, autoimmune diseases that have been skyrocketing will all make sense.

And just as a side note, vitamin D has been around for roughly 500 million years. Vitamin D is involved in literally almost every organism. But out of all those things, the most important purpose of vitamin D is in its job as immune system governor. Think about what the immune system is. It’s this complex, ruthless army that has the ability to completely destroy cancer cells, deadly viruses, yeast, fungus, mold, deadly bacteria.

Every single day, 24/7, your immune system has to be able to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Not just 37 trillion human cells, but also 38 trillion friendly bacteria cells that live inside and outside all over your body. Every single immune cell involved in this needs vitamin D to be able to do its job. And if this tolerance is lost, you develop an autoimmune disease. And there’s over 80 different types of autoimmune diseases.

So, vitamin D isn’t necessarily there to allow the immune system to be very, very aggressive. It helps the immune system kill specific pathogens. There’s also some interesting data on COVID-19. What killed certain people was not the virus. It was their own immune system.

Vitamin D helps to turn down that immune system and make sure it doesn’t get out of control. And this is why vitamin D has been so helpful in autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s, rheumatoid arthritis, and in the last 30 years autoimmune diseases have literally doubled. If you compare also men and women, women have 80% more autoimmune diseases than men. And it just so happens the flare-ups with autoimmune diseases happen way more commonly in winter versus the summer. So, vitamin D is intimately involved in literally every single immune cell in your body, especially in the immune cells in your gut where you have at least 70% of your immune system just there to protect you.

And a lot of autoimmune diseases start in the gut. So, with enough vitamin D, the peacekeepers of the immune system can do their job. Now, there are people that have enough vitamin D that still get sick, obviously, that still get autoimmune diseases. When I was in practice and someone came in with either an infection or an autoimmune disease, I would always ask them “When did you develop this and what happened just before? ” And I would say probably over 90% of the time there was usually always some stress event right before this happened.

Stress raises cortisol. Cortisol majorly suppresses the immune system. And if we take it one step further and you’re deficient in vitamin D and you go through stress it’s definitely more likely for you to develop an autoimmune disease. But I just wanted to point out this stress connection because they’ve done experiments with stress and the natural killer cells. These are very specific immune cells that target cancer and also that target viruses.

And they tested the vitamin D levels and less than 20 ng/mL. That’s pretty low. And they found under stress, those cells are literally paralyzed. If your levels were between 20 and 29 ng/mL, there was a moderate suppression of the function. The optimum amount of vitamin D for the natural killer cells to work is at 65 ng/mL.

Now, just think about that for a second because when you go to the doctor and they look at your vitamin D levels, if you’re at 30, you’re normal. But let’s say for example, you’re going through something, your immune system has been compromised by stress, you’re going to need a little bit more vitamin D for that immune system to work. 25% of the population have some type of genetic problem with the vitamin D receptor that does not allow them to absorb the full capacity of vitamin D. It’s called vitamin D receptor resistance. It’s a thing.

It’s actually way more common than you might think. And this is also another reason why some people need more vitamin D than others. There’s a doctor, Dr. Coimbra, and he developed the Coimbra protocol for autoimmune diseases, and I will put his website link down below so you can have more information because there are certain doctors that are trained by him that use much higher vitamin D levels to help put this autoimmune disease back in remission because what he’s found when you have an autoimmune disease, the vitamin D receptor downgrades to the point where it’s very difficult to get enough to create a therapeutic effect. So, he has a whole protocol to do this safely.

In fact, I asked him personally what type of levels does your vitamin D go up to in your blood when you actually put someone this program because here we’re talking about 20, 30, 65. He said in some cases it goes up to about 240 ng/mL. I was like, “Wow, that’s a lot. ” But, they have to give a person sufficient amounts to penetrate the resistance at the cellular level. Because what you have to realize is all of these levels when you’re testing it in the blood, they’re not testing the active form of vitamin D.

They’re testing the inactive. It’s not doing anything in your blood until it gets converted through the liver and the kidney and eventually it goes into the cell through the receptor. But, the point is there is something that can be done about autoimmune disease other than a steroid that comes with the package. Because when you take a steroid, you literally shut down the immune system even more. I have a free download that I want to give to you.

This free download is my daily routine in a checklist. This is a routine that I use every day to feel like I’m 18 years old even though I’m 60 years old and I want to give it to you for free. And so, there’s a little link down below, click it, and definitely download that. Before antibiotics, for TB for example, what did they use? They didn’t have any antibiotics.

They used cod liver oil. Cod liver oil has vitamin D. People also went to sanitariums where they had sun therapy, more vitamin D. Unfortunately, probably in the ’80s, right when you started seeing the spike in autoimmune diseases, we started to fear the sun. We started to go indoors more.

Way back in the day, we were exposed to a lot more sun than we are right now. If we don’t have enough sun, we’re not going to get enough vitamin D. If you think you’re going to get enough sun if you go outside and just get your face exposed to some sun or your hands, I’ll put a link down below of some data to show you how much sun it actually takes to get sufficient amounts of vitamin D. Even if you were in a bathing suit, you would get about 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. That’s not necessarily a therapeutic amount.

That’s a good amount for maintenance, but for a therapeutic amount, you need a lot more. Just as a disclaimer, I’m going to have to tell you that there’s certain medical organizations that recommend that you do not get any more than 4,000 IU of vitamin D3. That’s their ceiling, okay? I’m just putting it out there. I’m telling you to do your own research, check with your doctor before doing any of the things I’m recommending.

Vitamin D doesn’t always work by itself. You need cofactors or helper nutrients to help vitamin D work. K2 is a very important one that actually keeps the calci
