About this listen
Are you, a loved one, or a friend still suffering from a health issue after you have exhausted traditional healthcare options? Do you constantly feel fatigued or feel something is wrong but can’t figure out why? Do you wake up multiple times at night or have sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome? Are you overweight and always hungry and wonder why?
You might be surprised to learn all these problems may be the result of a deficiency of one substance that has been misunderstood since its discovery in 1939. That substance is vitamin D3.
While it is called a vitamin, D3 is really a hormone. It was first used to treat a childhood bone disease called rickets. Nearly all the research on the benefits of vitamin D3 has been done at doses that are 80 times lower than the optimal doses described in this audiobook. This groundbreaking audiobook is your opportunity to regain your health quickly, safely, and easily. In The Optimal Dose, Judson Somerville reveals how vitamin D3 saved his own life when all else failed and explains how this essential vitamin is key to finding answers to your own health questions and challenges.

Story
If you are suffering from persistent fatigue (and fatigue-related symptoms), then you’ve been “misled and misfed”. The path to regaining your energy and vastly improving your overall health is likely not what you’ve been led to believe. [Cu]re Your Fatigue will help you unravel the story of copper, magnesium, iron, and ceruloplasmin and how their interactions have been intended by nature to maintain our health. Learn what happens when these interactions are interfered with, primarily as a result of following the accepted yet highly flawed health recommendations.

Story
Don't take too much Vitamin D it is dangerous! I started taking 20,000 IU a day-50X times the recommended dose of 400 IU a day. After about four months upped the dose to 50,000 IU a day or 150X the old recommended “safe” dose I then boosted it to 100,000 IU a day or 300 x times the old maximum safe dose! What happened over these last 10 months? Did I die? get sick? No! Just the opposite! High dose Vitamin D3 therapy over the last year-cured all my chronic conditions-some that i'd had for 20+ years!

Are you taking calcium or vitamin D? This book could save your life! Learn the secret to avoiding osteoporosis and heart disease. Millions of people take calcium and Vitamin D supplements thinking they're helping their bones. The truth is, without the addition of Vitamin K2, such a health regimen could prove dangerous. Without Vitamin K2, the body cannot direct calcium to the bones where it's needed; instead, the calcium resides in soft tissue, like the arteries, leading to a combination of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, or the dreaded "calcium paradox".

Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it's the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy.

Prior to sedating each patient, Dr. Huggins asked Dr. Levy to administer a specific protocol of vitamin C. Dr. Levy had never performed, or even heard of such a practice, but was greatly impressed as each patient left the dental office markedly improved - many were asymptomatic.

Millions of people are suffering from chronic illnesses that, unbeknownst to them, are the result of exposure to environmental toxins and infectious agents such as mold and Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease. Millions. Because the symptoms of these illnesses are so varied and unusual, many of these individuals have sought medical care only to be dismissed, as if what they are experiencing is “in their head”. Many (if not most) have tried to tough it out and continue to function without hope of improvement. Unfortunately, their illnesses are very real.

The Truth about Cancer has been written for one simple reason: to share the knowledge we need to protect ourselves, treat ourselves, and in some cases save our lives or the lives of those we love.

You may not know that you have Lyme. It can mimic every disease process, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions like MS, psychiatric conditions like depression and anxiety, and cause significant memory and concentration problems, mimicking early dementia. It is called the "Great Imitator," and inaccurate testing - combined with a fierce, ongoing debate that questions chronic infection - makes it difficult for sufferers to find effective care.

To alleviate the symptoms of this debilitating condition - including chronic cough, acid reflux, IBS, allergies, chronic pain, hair loss, brain fog, and forgetfulness - patients are often prescribed synthetic hormones that have numerous life-altering side effects. But there is a better way.

Don't take too much Vitamin D it is dangerous! I started taking 20,000 IU a day-50X times the recommended dose of 400 IU a day. After about four months upped the dose to 50,000 IU a day or 150X the old recommended “safe” dose I then boosted it to 100,000 IU a day or 300 x times the old maximum safe dose! What happened over these last 10 months? Did I die? get sick? No! Just the opposite! High dose Vitamin D3 therapy over the last year-cured all my chronic conditions-some that i'd had for 20+ years!

Prior to sedating each patient, Dr. Huggins asked Dr. Levy to administer a specific protocol of vitamin C. Dr. Levy had never performed, or even heard of such a practice, but was greatly impressed as each patient left the dental office markedly improved - many were asymptomatic.

Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem mans diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics, and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment.

Hit it on the head with being resilient to virus
I got this book as the result of reading/learning what I could about the link between Covid-19 infection and the seriousness of the sickness. There is a link -- several studies have shown that low Vit D correlates closely with ICU admission, the need for ventilation, and so forth. From what I've read, there have also been some interventional studies that have shown Vit D supplementation (through means that quickly raise the active form in the body) during the sickness can help curb many of the problems. Vit D seems to be an undervalued and essential nutrient!
After reading the book I started taking 5000 IU a day. Fearing that I might be overdoing it, I went and had it tested. I was at 21! That is after a MONTH at 5000 IU....which is at a level that my doctor says I'm gunna overdose?
It is true there is some bad information about this Vitamin out there, and after chasing down several of the peer reviewed links Dr. Somerville posted, I can see he has science backing his claims. I found it MOST interesting to see that the upper limit of D3 was set at 100, but that hyperkalemia doesn't start until much much higher.
I wonder what my body will feel like when I get out of the trench at 21? We shall see.....
This is a good read. I recommend the book.

Eye-Opening revelations about what vitamin D does
Wow - I thought I knew all about vitamin D3 but this adds a decidedly new level of it for me. I've been maintaining a higher vitamin D3 (D3) blood level for over 10 years. In that time, I've only had 2 minor colds - and both of those happened when I had been OFF the D3 for a few months.
But ‘Winter Syndrome’, which Dr. Somerville has named this state of chronic deficiency, is much broader and deeper than just immune system support. In reflection, I think my whole family has had this - we just didn’t know it.
I assumed our current D3 dosing guidelines and limits were based on rigorous clinical data. Turns out much of it has been broadly estimated - and often too low, ‘just to be safe’, which treated it on par with potentially toxic drugs.
But here’s the thing: D3 has a very LOW potential for toxicity. In fact, all potential for toxicity lies in how much Vitamin D3 is in the blood (not the daily dose) and not until you reach 300 ng/ml. Most of the world’s vitamin D-deficient population would be lucky to have a level of 20ng. And it can take many months, if not years, of super high dosing to get anywhere near that 300 ng threshold. Checking your D3 level 1x or 2x a year should help you maintain whatever level you decide on.
NARRATION: Clear, crisp, and consistently modulated throughout the whole book.
