Did you know that Americans consume about 70 billion eggs each year both directly and in processed food products? That’s about 210 eggs a year per person and is an important source of nutrients. Very few are from organic farmyard raised chickens.
Dr. Malones article on how these eggs are produced in tin barns with chickens that don’t have the benefit of sunlight can be read here:
Unfortunately, the article did not cover the importance of Vitamin D that is found in organic farmyard chicken eggs. Here is my research on the issue:
Excellent Discussion except no mention that factory processed eggs have little or no Vitamin D, which the chickens acquired when they were raised outdoors and were in the Sun!. Check the egg cartoon label and it is minimal or not listed. In fact, the chicken farmers know this and ADD calcitriol (Vitamin D source) to the feed, so they don't break their legs! The following is an excerpt from an article I wrote that explains more! Vitamin D is the Canary in the coal mine that is signally that medicine doesn’t understand the true role of nutrient rich food void of toxins that is required to stay healthy. What if we had a valid test for Vitamin D in 1955? What would it tell us? it would have told us that 50 ng’s was the norm for Americans. This was before sunscreens, sun avoidance, eggs with little or no Vitamin D, over medicating, fast foods, drinking 200 liters/capita per year of pop containing phosphoric acid and other lifestyle habits that are detrimental to good health and the depletion of Vitamin D in the body. Instead, the blood test was not common until 15 to 20 years ago, when the average American was now deficient due to the “modern” lifestyle that has been adopted. So now, the new norm is a sub-normal blood value for Vitamin D and is embraced by medicine as being the gold standard. IOM (now called NAM- National Academy of Medicine) also said that pregnant mothers need no more Vitamin D than the average adult. Shocking that there is a lack of understanding that pregnancy requires ample nutrient intake during pregnancy to avoid delivering an infant with health issues. The GrassrootsHealth.net research initiative called “Protect our Kids NOW!’ has demonstrated that preemie rates will drop 60% if the mother has adequate Vitamin D intake during pregnancy. WHO has declared that pregnant mothers don’t need Vitamin D for a healthy baby. WRONG The other grassroots research program has determined that women’s chance of acquiring breast cancer would drop by 80% if the blood value of Vitamin D was above 50 ng’s. Today, 1 in 8 women will experience breast cancer. Fifty years ago it was 1:22. Shameful. IOM’s pronouncement in 2011 on the new Vitamin D guidelines was totally flawed and Dr. Baggerly who is a biostatistician has informed NIH of the error which indicates that Vitamin D is ten times safer than what several million medical students have been taught for the last 60 years. If IOM/NAM continues to believe as well as the medical establishment that only 20 ng’s of Vitamin D are required to turn 3000 plus genes on in the human body and the detrimental American lifestyle continues to be in vogue, medicine will never ever embrace the fact that cellular health starts with rich nutrient intake void of trace toxins to live a full and vibrant life. One last comment: Few if any who acquired Covid and had a blood value over 50 ng's died!
The following website announces the publication of a book explaining in detail the true value of Vitamin D. It was written by two astute English physicians.
It is called “Vitamin D and the Great Biological Reset”. They are spot on with their analysis!
Vitamin D and the Great Biological Reset
My thoughts for the day. I hope you find merit in this and get a test for Vitamin D deficiency. Mine is about 70 ng’s and I take 5000 iu’s daily. Blood value under 50 ng’s is sub optimal in my opinion which is contrary to the medicine man’s consensus view.

I like your substack Mr. Braun. Very timely and properly focused. I look forward to every submission you make.
