Morley Robbins: “EVERYTHING coming out of Hollick, & the Vitamin-D Council is a LIE re Hormone-D” ....” and why he thinks RETINOL (Vitamin A/animal source) is the REAL sunshine Vitamin. :)

“.. Let me share some information that I recently shared with my students taking the training through the Copernican Institute:

The IDEAL Ratio of Retinol <> Calcidiol is 10:1

The IDEAL Level of Retinol = 200 ng/dL

When you apply the Hopkins AND the Institute of Medicine recommendations, which are BOTH ~20 ng/dL, that KEY Ratio is kept in tact...

Applying the Hollick INSANITY Range, and getting folks up to ~50-70 ng/dL means that Retinol would need to be 500-700 ng/dL, which is patently ABSURD & physically IMPOSSIBLE!

And Michael Hollick, PhD, MD advocates using "Vit-D Supplements" to address Inflammation, again, patently ABSURD... LOW Hormone-D is an EXPRESSION of Inflammation, and NOT a CAUSE of Inflammation...

Please read Mangin, 2014 to BETTER understand that dynamic ^^^^:

EVERYTHING coming out of Hollick, & the Vitamin-D Council is a LIE re Hormone-D... Please trust me on this. I've been studying it intensely for a "D"ecade!...

And to understand how Magnesium REGULATES Hormone-D, please read Deng, 2013: (PLEASE MEMORIZE Fig 1).... ;-)

And please understand, the Mineral ORIGIN of Inflammation is BOTH a LACK of Maggie, as well as TOO MUCH Iron:
Mg Def: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1384353

Iron O/L: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26577567
Remembering that Excess, Unbound Iron CAUSES Mg LOSS... Hmmmmmmmmm....

The problem in Society is NOT a Vitamin "D"eficiency...

The REAL problem in Society is an I.Q. "D"eficiency, esp. with our health practitioners who don't QUESTION nutrient recommendations and haven't for 70+ years...

Hope that helps clarify this "D"ynamic!...

Unfortunately, Jack Kruse, MD, as is the case with MANY practitoners, has it COMPLETELY BACKWARDS re the "Inflammation" <> "Vitamin-D" thingy!...“
