Less likely to overdose on Vitamin D than aspirin or water

A 25X increased dose of aspirin or water is lethal, but not Vitamin D

Note: 100,000 IU daily = 25 X 4,000 IU.
   which is safe for 2 weeks if not take cofactors,
     safe for years if take co-factors (see next chart)

"Water is statistically more dangerous than high Vitamin D doses due to electrolyte imbalances." - 2024

Dr. von Helden - Vitamin D at 30 ng/ml is a human right! YouTube in German

🔬 Core Arguments from Dr. Raimund von Helden by ChatGPT AI

1. Vitamin D Deficiency as Syndrome (~01:10)
   • Dr. von Helden argues that Vitamin D deficiency is not just about rickets but a full deficiency syndrome affecting energy, immunity, and general health.
2. Natural Range and Toxicity Clarified (~04:30–06:30)
   • Normal range: 30–100 ng/mL. Toxicity concerns arise only at extreme levels (>300 ng/mL).
     Water is statistically more dangerous than high Vitamin D doses due to electrolyte imbalances.
3. Low Vitamin D Strongly Correlates with Mortality (~06:30–07:30)
   • Low levels (under 20 ng/mL) are associated with significantly increased mortality. He co-authored a study demonstrating this correlation.
4. Simulator and Dosing Model (~08:45–10:00)
   • He developed a Vitamin D Simulator that lets people input doses to model their levels like a bank account. Example: 70,000 IU weekly leads to ~88–90 ng/mL serum level.
5. Germany’s Official Intake is Inadequate (~11:00)
   • Average diet (e.g., fish, eggs) yields ~800 IU/week — far below optimal.
     He advocates for 4,000–10,000 IU/day for many adults.

🧬 Co-Factors and Nutritional Synergy

1. Essential Co-Factors: K2, Magnesium, Vitamin C (~22:10–28:30)
   • K2 helps deliver calcium safely; magnesium supports over 200 enzyme systems needed for Vitamin D function; Vitamin C ensures collagen synthesis and bone elasticity.
2. Critique of Osteology & Calcium Supplementation (~28:50–32:00)
   • German osteoporosis care focuses too much on bone density instead of elasticity. Overuse of calcium without D/K2/magnesium may increase cardiovascular risk.

🏥 Practical Approach and Ethical Standpoint

1. Customized Protocols & Testing (~36:00–39:00)
   • He uses personalized dosing plans, simulations, blood testing (externally validated), and evaluates kidney/liver health before and during supplementation.
2. Vitamin D Berater Network (~39:50)
   • Created a nationwide network of trained Vitamin D advisors in Germany for accessible, non-clinical guidance on proper dosing and synergy.
3. No Financial Gain, Ethical Mission (~41:00–43:00)
   • Emphasizes he's never profited from selling supplements; sees Vitamin D as a "civil right" and advises based on science, not commerce.
