Wasn't going to post today but this scare tactic infuriates me.
Look at what was highlighted on this death certificate
I was not going to post today since the survey I sent out indicated most of you prefer posts 3-4 times weekly and no fluff posts.
But I saw this in the morning and wanted to share it with you because this is how mainstream media, medicine, and others use scare tactics and mislead you.
Did This Man Die From Taking Vitamin D? Is This A Scare Tactic?
I read an article about how a man in the UK died from taking vitamin D supplements. The article stated he died as a direct cause of vitamin D, and his D level was 380 ng/mL.
I then went to the link for the death report.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH
On 10th May 2023 David Mitchener was admitted to East Surrey Hospital with Hypercalacaemia, but despite treatment he died at the hospital on 20th May 2023.
Ante-mortem test revealed Vitamin D levels at 380 (the maximum level recordable by the laboratory).
A post mortem identified the cause of death to be:
1 a) Congestive cardiac failure and acute on chronic kidney failure(me: severe cases can cause kidney failure and irregular heart beat).
b) Hypercalacaemia(me: D at this high level can cause calcium buildup in the blood).
c) Vitamin D toxicity
2. Ischaemic Heart Disease
David Mitchener had been taking vitamin supplements for at least the preceding 9 months, purchased from NaturePlusUK.
[REDACTED]
There were no warning on or in the packaging detailing the specific risks or side effects of taking Vitamin D supplements.CORONER’S CONCERN
During the course of the Inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise to concern. In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths will occur unless action is taken. In the circumstances it is my statutory duty to report to you.
The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows
CORONER’S CONCERN
During the course of the Inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise to concern. In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths will occur unless action is taken. In the circumstances it is my statutory duty to report to you.
The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows
1. Vitamin supplements can have potentially very serious risks and side effects when taken in excess
2. Current food labelling requirements do not require these risks and side effects to be written of the packagings
3. Absence of appropriate warnings and guidance about dosage.ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN
In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you have the power to take such action.
My Comments on the above death report
The deceased individual took vitamin D supplements for 9 months or longer, but the report only indicates the brand, not the dosage.
We have no clue if this person was drinking gallons of pasteurized milk fortified with vitamin D.
It was noted (#2 death cause) that the person did have heart disease, so we can assume that this person may not have been a healthy individual with a healthy diet.
The report was written to highlight the actions that should be taken to prevent people from taking vitamin D, such as warnings on labels.
I do think that vitamin D bottle labels should have a statement about knowing your D level before supplementing.
It would be a tragedy if he did die as a direct result of D toxicity. But the original post was worded as a scare tactic not to take vitamin D, which allopathic-minded masses will listen to.
I know my readers are not in that group!
However, other questions include:
Did he get injected, and if so, did he have CVD before the injections? Was the injection impact on CVD examined during the autopsy?
And if he had CVD and renal failure, were these issues a direct result of the vitamin D, or did these diagnoses exist before the supplementation?
We can assume he was seeing a doctor regularly since he had CVD, so why was the doctor not testing vitamin D levels in lab work?
Yet, there are no recommendations in the coroner's letter for doctors to test D levels.
Nah, blame the supplement industry, not the medical establishment!
Since vitamin D is immune protective, I would have thought doctors would add this biomarker to lab tests routinely since 2020, yet I rarely see it in labs that clients provide to me.
Why is this?
Is the deceased at fault for the high D levels, or is the doctor for not testing D on labs?
This report is full of vitamin D scare tactics rather than suggesting to medical professionals that the D levels of their patients should be tested routinely.
Instead of scaring people, have a statement on vitamin D bottles that people should know their D level before supplementing.
Bottom Line
An ideal vitamin D sweet spot on labs is around 60 ng/ml; even up to 200 is safe (although this level is unnecessary).
I say that 60 ng/mL is a “sweet spot” based on studies examining various health conditions. If you want to know more about study findings on vitamin D, www.grassrootshealth.net is a source for the literature.
This person did have a very high level, and his doctor should have caught it on labs (or if he was not seeing a doctor, the person should have done some regular testing, and this would have been identified).
If you take vitamin D, first know your D level.
www.omegaquant.com has a dried blood spot test you can do at home. If your D level is below 60, use the vitamin D calculator from www.grassrootshealth.net to calculate the dose and duration needed to reach 60 ng/mL.
Test your D levels at least once yearly but ideally every 6 months (once in winter, once in summer).
In this death case, it is a reminder not to fear supplements but to seek professional help to guide you on your needs and doses and test your D levels.
Don’t fear supplements; be informed or seek a professional!
Show my posts some love, please!
It is just me writing, reading, researching, and seeing clients!
I do not use mainstream social media, so please share my posts so that more people can get informed on how to get and stay healthy.
This is NOT information allopathic practitioners will share with you.
My MD who's also homeopathic and extremely against clot shots, etc recommends a 100. Mine was at 80 something with last blood work I got from my gyno. He administers my biote so I have him check EVERYTHING once a year and label it "yearly physical" blood work so insurance will cover. He then had his nurse recommend I go down from 4000 to 2000 since I was close to high end of 100 recommended. This new doctor said no...stay on 4000. 100 is better. 🤷♀️
And only 89 years old. Another life cut short by nefarious nutrients.
This from a search for vitamin D toxicity: "Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include high levels of calcium in the blood, confusion, apathy, recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain, polyuria, polydipsia, and dehydration. The dose at which vitamin D supplements become toxic is not clear, but research shows that taking 60,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day for several months can cause toxicity."
I can't believe that this man didn't have any symptoms that the doctor should have noticed and investigated with questions and thorough blood testing.
