Episode 227: Stress Trauma Vitamin D3. Modern Life Is The Biggest Cause Of Excess Mortality.

Depression used to be the 5 th commonest cause of illness and death 25 years ago go and now it is the commonest we have not suddenly become genetically susceptible to clinical depression people are stressed and unhappy and are not designed for modern life The key element of stress is whether or not you have control if you have control you are not stressed if you're not in control you're stressed
Stress via the hormone cortisol is the grim reaper and destroys mind and body. Although all of us experience stress it can become a longer term problem as in post-traumatic stress or prolonged duress stress disorder. However throughout life there are often many psychological blocks which are signs that you haven't been able to process your experiences fully and safely and can be associated with mild raises in cortisol. Notably two major studies one in 2020 and one in 2022 showed a very strong association between vitamin D3 deficiency and severity of covid illness. It's also notable that the levels of vitamin D3 in the west have fallen stratospherically over the last 20-30 years just as as depression has been rising and of course it's not depression it's stress and cortisol prevents absorption of vitamin D3. You can imagine the the extreme stress caused by lock down and mask wearing and all the unnecessary restrictive measures associated with coronavirus. Never in the history of the world has global lockdown ever been recommended and the office of National Statistics freedom information shows that there were only 6,120 deaths exclusively with covid on the death certificate. Therefore there is no pandemic and all emergency measures are illegal. Not only has stress over the last 25 years worsened vitamin D3 deficiency but the increased stress over the last 2 years will have been catastrophic for D3 levels as well as causing excessive inflammation and pathology within the body which will have made people even more vulnerable to viruses as well as increasing death from other causes. We discuss specific therapy and we also discuss what can be done to maintain a sense of control.
