2:17 Graves disease controlled with 30,000 iu of vitamin D

In this video, Dr. Patrick McCullough, MD, discusses how vitamin D works to help control psoriasis and other autoimmune diseases. Every autoimmune disease works the same way – it just affects a different part of the body.
Immune cells called regulatory T lymphocytes (Master Regulators of the Immune System) can turn autoimmune diseases off. Vitamin D causes the formation of and maintains the functional status of regulatory T lymphocytes – this is one mechanism of how vitamin D works to control psoriasis and other autoimmune diseases.
Dr. McCullough shares several personal experiences with vitamin D, and diseases that have improved with vitamin D, including
Graves disease
MS
Reumatoid Arthritis
Asthma
Crohn’s Disease
Psoriasis
Vitaligo
Stopping vitamin D or decreasing the dose can cause symptoms to return – this is because “Autoimmune diseases are not cured by vitamin D, they are controlled with it.”
As Dr. McCullough states, “First cause no harm… in the IOM’s quest not to cause harm by giving too much, they are causing way more harm by not giving enough.”
