Vitamin D has bee a topic of conversation of late around here.  Atom Bergstrom gives his viewpoint.

Vitamin D is actually a hormone and not a vitamin.  And just what Vitamin D are we talking about?

Italians lost Vitamin D when they stopped hanging their pasta out in the sun to dry

Here some fun stories  of karma and Atom's "Big fat mouth..."

Have some chicken feet with celery, carrots, onions and garlic for lots of gelatin...the real deal

We asked Atom if he believes the lower costs incandescent red lamps can do with the more costly LED lights claim 

When the lower back muscles refer to the calves, just may be an adrenal gland short fall

Some emails:

If a person has a trauma connected a color, is it better to avoid that color or to look at it frequently until the trauma is healed? For example, if someone has a moving trauma, is it better to wear red colored clothing or to avoid them? Thanks for all your good teachings and help.

Doing a new exercise, like biking when you couldn't all winter causes quite a bit of muscle soreness for a couple of days. What types of food in time helps with this type of soreness to repair and condition the body?

There is so much contrary advice out there. It’s hard to separate fact from fantasy.

I have been a fiber junky all my life. I have eaten thousands of tons of cruciferous veggies over the decades in the belief they would keep my bowels moving. I have long believed they were working for me.

Then Konstantin Mastrursky came on your show, Patrick, telling us fiber promotes nothing, except colon irritation. It does not promote bowel movements. Metamucil is a fraud!  Konstantin eats Vitamin C for regularity.

Many of these carnivores insist that an all meat diet has healed all their serious digestive problems and that they feel stronger and healthier than they ever did when the ate plants. Plants, they say, contain anti-nutrient lectins and gluten, designed to keep hungry animals away.

“Carnivore dieters” assert that meat is the real original human food, and that the indigenous ancients ate the whole animal head to tail, only begrudgingly eating the lean muscle meat on the animal as a last resort. They say the ancients had no appetite for plants except when they had no animal food.

Would Atom, Patrick, and/or Ray Peat agree?

Hi Patrick could you ask Atom is cascara sagrada toxic to the liver I’ve read conflicting theories and thought I would get good advice from Atom?

In his excellent blog titled "Vitamin D & Strong Bones", Atom says: "The optimum wavelengths for producing vitamin D are between 290-315 nanometers." How long would the exposure to a light source that has those wavelengths need to be in order to stimulate significant levels of vitamin D in the body? Would a light source with that narrow band of 290-315 nanometers be more effective at specifically stimulating vitamin D as compared to a full spectrum light source like the sun

Fatty neck lump: Could you please ask Atom about the above and if there is any remedy.

, my feet are killing me ! A few weeks ago, my feet got really sore, especially my heels. I'm on my feet all day, but have never had any problem. Then 2 days ago I found a pea size bump on the arch of my left foot. Yikes, it is making it so difficult to stand. Since I have not changed anything in my life for years, I was wondering if maybe I just can't "stand something" or "someone", or if it's time to get moving. What do you think? Thanks
