Vitamin D Supplements: Unnecessary and Potentially Harmful

> “Vitamin D” isn’t a single molecule. There are hundreds of sun-derived compounds, many with potential anticancer properties. These naturally occurring molecules are often ignored by mainstream science because they don’t influence calcium levels – the metric by which vitamin D has traditionally been judged.

Pharmaceutical companies have replicated these molecules synthetically, abandoning the originals as “inert” simply due to outdated criteria. But the body’s own molecules are real and powerful. Let that sink in. These are made by you.

Nature vs. Supplementation

Even when healthy lactating mothers take high doses (6,000 IU/day – 15x the U.S. RDI), breast milk remains low in vitamin D. The Vitamin D Council calls this “a mystery.” But is it?

Nature’s “perfect food” surely isn’t flawed. Perhaps the flaw lies in how we conceptualize vitamin D.

Real-World Evidence

Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (who avoid all sun exposure) still maintain sufficient vitamin D levels without supplementation. Despite “low” serum 25-D, they remain clinically healthy, with normal levels of active 1,25-D and calcium metabolism.

This suggests:
Low 25-D doesn’t always mean deficiency.

The Chronic Disease Puzzle

Low 25-D levels are often found in people with conditions like:

Obesity

Schizophrenia

MS

Fibromyalgia

Autism

But maybe it’s not a lack of vitamin D causing the disease.
What if the disease causes the low 25-D?
Vitamin D acts like a steroid – the body regulates it tightly. Like Prednisone, it may reduce symptoms short term, but long-term supplementation can suppress the immune system and delay real healing.

What the Research Really Shows

Even in summer, while 25-D levels rise, the active form (1,25-D) stays constant. This was shown by Hector DeLuca’s work:

> “Despite seasonal variation in 25-D, 1,25-D levels remain steady due to tight feedback regulation.”
(Read the study)

This suggests your body knows exactly how much active vitamin D to make — with or without supplements.

Takeaway

The fear-mongering around “low vitamin D” levels often overlooks the complexity of the body’s self-regulation. Supplementation may interfere with the body’s natural balance.

Let Nature lead. Not the lab.
