@embodiedthinkr @the_no_mind Do your thing,I’m not trying to talk you out of it. If it helps, fair enough (placebo is real). But biology sets limits: the mechanisms here don’t work that way, and supplementation can’t override them

@henningberz @the_no_mind I truly believe you're putting a glass ceiling over your own life by believing everything without peer reviewed evidence does nothing, or that anything above 100%RDV is bad.

Dr. Zane R. Kime, wrote a book called Sunlight in 1980. He dedicated a whole chapter to vitamin D supplementation. He called it: "Sunlight & the Vitamin D Mania." He was arguing against vitamin D supplementation. "It seems only sensible to recommend that vitamin D be obtained from sunlight or ultraviolet light exposure, as the body has built-in safety mechanisms to prevent a toxic build-up. This would eliminate the medication of the total population with a possibly toxic substance intended originally for the protection of a small minority suffering from rickets." What he found: The University of Tromsø: long-term vitamin D intake slightly above 400 IU may stimulate heart attacks. Excessive vitamin D causes magnesium deficiency in heart tissue. Vitamin D has been identified as an angiotoxic substance — it irritates the lining of blood vessels. The British Medical Association (1950), Canadian Bulletin on Nutrition (1953), and American Academy of Pediatrics (1963) all recommended vitamin D not be supplementally added to food. And this was before the 5,000-10,000 IU megadosing trend (quite recent phenomenon). Today if you question high dose vitamin D supplementation it's somehow controversial. Not if you look at history. Vitamin D supplementation fails the Lindy filter. Getting Vitamin D directly from the sun does not. Read the chapter below. Decide for yourself.

@embodiedthinkr @the_no_mind Vitamin D supplements don’t directly bind VDR, they must be converted to calcitriol first, which is tightly regulated. So effects aren’t androgenic or potent; they’re mostly corrective in deficiency, not performance-enhancing

@henningberz @the_no_mind Vitamin D Receptors VDR have some pretty important role in muscle growth, vit d is a myostatin inhibitor, vit d upregulates dopamine receptors. Very androgenic over all.

@IamTheTrashMan @AGoldfire123 @ProjectGokuu It must be very very bad research - since its 30 years old - that was always what research is about - not about quality - its about how recent you have published - i see your point ;)

@henningberz @AGoldfire123 @ProjectGokuu Oh wow. A study that’s 30 years old done in vitro. Any actual human trials in the past 30 years? It would really be convincing. Also, when you send peer reviewed evidence, try including the actual citation or PMID. I still have no idea what this article is about.

Dr. Jack Kruse just revealed how blue light causes skin cancer. He says the proof is in how we treat people with severe burns. Kruse is a neurosurgeon who says when burn surgeons or doctors treat burn victims, they use blue light directly on the wound. "You put blue light on a burn victim, you know what it does? It stimulates the skin to grow faster." That same mechanism is exactly what makes blue light dangerous under normal conditions. Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth. Blue light triggers rapid cell division. On a burn wound that's helpful. On healthy skin every day for years, it's a problem. • Your laptop emits blue light • Your phone screen emits blue light • The LED bulbs in your ceiling emit blue light Kruse says incandescent bulbs naturally offset this because they contain UV and red light alongside the blue. Those bulbs are being banned completely by 2028. The frequency that causes cancer is in every room you enter. The frequency that counteracted it is being legislated out of existence. — Dr. Jack Kruse (@DrJackKruse) on the Danny Jones (@JonesDanny) podcast PS: If interested in content like this, follow me as I continue sharing unconventional health insights you won't find anywhere else on X.

@the_no_mind Vitamin D supplementation is my go-to example of why most supplements fail. The real benefits in large studies come from sunlight: NO release, POMC cleavage, melanin & melatonin. A pill can’t replicate that. Meta-analyses show little to no benefit

@embodiedthinkr @the_no_mind Serious question - why would you do that - I mean whats your goal? The benefits of sun exposure mainly are due to NO release, POMC, Melanin and Melantonin etc. - the pill cannot do that and studies have shown that even 100k a day do not show any benefits

@the_no_mind Been taking 50,000IU for 10 years almost every day. With no problem. I once took 1,000,000IU (weighed on scale and measured) and was fine. I'm doubtful that 400 IU is when the downsides start.

@ReptileRaised @the_no_mind How often do you get the chance to get 20k from the sun?

@the_no_mind Sun exposure can produce up to 20,000 iu equivalent daily dose of vitamin D intake. That’s the upper limit. How is that different from “mega dosing”?

To my athlete/fit friends with slightly elevated HgbA1c I get this question from you a lot: “My fasting insulin is low, lean/thin, adequately muscled, TG/HDL ratio < 1, ApoB <90 But, A1c in the 5.6 - 6% range Should you be concerned? Most likely not. Here are 2 reasons:

@IamTheTrashMan @AGoldfire123 @ProjectGokuu Get some circadian education dude

@henningberz @AGoldfire123 @ProjectGokuu Lol 😂

@tkp_at Ich gebe immer etwas Kokosöl in meinen smoothie dazu, dafür ist es prima. Auch für die Zahnpflege (Ölziehen). Nur zum braten passt es nicht so gut - hier fährt man mit Ghee glaube ich deutlich besser.

Die etablierte Ernährungs-„Wissenschaft“ hat uns jahrzehntelang belogen. Während uns die Mainstream-Medien und die Pharmaindustrie eintrichtern, dass gesättigte Fette der pure Tod seien und Cholesterin die Arterien verstopfe wie ein verstopfter Abfluss, zeigt eine tiefgehende Analyse der Fakten das genaue Gegenteil. tkp.at/2026/04/12/kok…

@ClearedAsFiled @bschermd Only 9/11 hijackers can do this ;)

@bschermd Finally some sanity. These Drs are test pilots trying to land a plane in winds that exceeds crosswind limits.

1/ I kicked a hornets' nest. All I had to do was suggest we need to learn more about the relative contribution of LDL and ApoB to heart disease, and some parts of Twitter lost their minds. Let me bring this back into focus, although this might just kick the nest more. 🧵

@AlpacaAurelius Taking into account that 91% reported to be smokers in general that means - smooking brings you to grave early

In this study, 67% of centenarian men smoked regularly and 54% of them drank regularly. 0% of them went keto, cold plunged, or used peptides. Important reminder that you dont need to do crazy biohacks to live a long healthy life.

@Chiara_831 @AlpacaAurelius I usually spend my lunchbreak in the sun - 1h each day - and thats totally enough - so no excuse :)

@henningberz @AlpacaAurelius However, this is very difficult for office workers to adapt to.

Skin cancer rates are going up while sunscreen use is increasing and time spent in the sun is going down. Must be the sun.

@Chiara_831 @AlpacaAurelius You can get used to those conditions - you can train your skin - I live in the canary islands we have uvi 12 in summer most of the time - no problem at all with trained skin

@AlpacaAurelius When you travel to Thailand, you'll understand how incredibly strong the sun is there; without sunscreen, your skin will get sunburned.

@Fitness_diet01 @AlpacaAurelius Its not true - large studies like the swedish one done by Pelle Lindqvist who followed up on swedish people for more than 20 years clearly showed that the highest sun exposure group had the best health outcomes. Skin cancer rates were almost the same between the groups

@AlpacaAurelius Cancer doesn't usually happen overnight. Most cases diagnosed today are the result of UV damage from decades ago long before daily sunscreen use was the norm. We’re essentially seeing the bill come due for generations that didn't have modern protection.

@IamTheTrashMan @AGoldfire123 @ProjectGokuu Exactly—that’s the mechanism. Isolated UV studies show strong cancer correlations. But large epidemiological data (e.g. Lindqvist 2016, Weller 2024) show the opposite: those with the highest sun exposure are often the healthiest, with the lowest cancer rates.

@AGoldfire123 @ProjectGokuu Got it. Blue light by itself causes cancer but if you are exposed to blue AND red light at the same time then you’re protected. That makes sense.

@nureineexe Wir haben noch genügend Nazis übrig in Deutschland. Schau mal allein wie viele wieder eine Partei verbieten wollen in bester Nazi Manier

Kommen eigentlich die Nazis, die nach Ungarn ausgewandert sind, wieder zurück, wenn Orbán verliert? Können wir vorher die Grenzen schließen?

@ChristofferBN But what if I have ldl 26, apob 130,cac 0 and all other blood markers in excellent range ?

@henningberz Depends on the individual. If your BP is sky-high (say, >190/110) and your ApoB is moderatly high (say ~120 mg/dL), BP matters more than ApoB. This is where "medicine as an art" comes in. Treat whatever risk factor(s) that is more urgent and/or easier to do something with.

The response-to-injury hypothesis was discussed on page 43-49 and 175-178 in "The Cholesterol Wars: The Skeptics vs the Preponderance of Evidence" by D. Stenberg. amazon.com/Cholesterol-Wa… Countless animal models and autopsy studies over the decades have debunked it. 🧵 1/9

@Herr_Kaleun Weil der Wunsch aus diesem korrupten Konstrukt auszutreten und es zu beenden großer ist als alles andere. Er stoppt ja auch die Zahlungen an die Ukraine - da sparen wir wieder was ein :)

Ich kann der rechten Begeisterung für Orbans Ungarn nichts abgewinnen. Er wettert bei jeder Gelegenheit gegen die EU (zu Recht), nimmt aber gleichzeitig gerne das von der EU bereitgestellte Geld. Geld, das man u. a. uns Deutschen abgepresst hat. Wie kann man das beklatschen?

@ChristofferBN So maybe ldl and apob do not play such a critical role as we thought and maybe endothelial damage plays a bigger part in that story ?

@henningberz Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, family history, etc.
