​
Jim Stephenson's passion for research in the field of vitamin D began because of a family member’s health issues, which included severe osteoporosis at the age of fifty-one. His quest to help her, she was prescribed 50,000 IUs of vitamin D, which caused her to continue to decline and get worse. This incident gave him the incentive to start doing deep research on the topic of vitamin D.
His previous occupation in the fisheries industry taught me a lot about researching and writing scientific papers so as a natural progression, he applied that knowledge to his vitamin D research. What he discovered was shocking! The truth was that supplementing vitamin D was causing severe, long-term health issues and that the claimed vitamin D deficiency was a lie and a hoax! For the past two decades it has been my passion and avocation to keep researching and spreading the word to help people learn about the dangers of supplementing vitamin D.

SECOSTEROID HORMONE D AKA "VITAMIN D" DEEP DIVE
SAT, OCT 19 AT 4:00 PM
Jim Stephenson will take a deep dive into the topic of vitamin D. It’s not all about calcium, it’s not simply one of the “fat soluble vitamins”. There are numerous molecules, even entire pathways that have been abandoned because of the lack of “calcium mobilization”. This focus has led to a lack of understanding as far as the wide array of potential molecules and their actions in the body. Fortification and “deficiency treatment” have become major hurdles in evaluating the true potential as far as intervention is concerned as well as the ability to establish a baseline level in individuals. There is a lack of scientific research on storage and elimination of “Vitamin D”, but this is relevant to all fat-soluble molecules in the body.
The Secosteroid Hormone D system is intricately involved in detoxification and a hard look at the Cytochrome P450 (CYP) activation enzymes shows this very clearly. There is a lot of competition in the body for resources related to this system as the body tries to balance the immune system components with its detoxification role. In most cases we tend to look at the wrong molecules, in the wrong location, to truly understand what is going on.
