Some new age health experts hide from the sun because they are worried about aging in appearance and getting skin cancer. However, aging starts from the inside and sunlight actually plays a major role in preserving cellular lifespan. A groundbreaking study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals that vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin,” may hold the key to slowing biological aging by preserving telomeres—the protective caps on our chromosomes that dictate cellular lifespan. This discovery isn’t just another footnote in nutritional science; it’s a direct challenge to the medical-industrial complex that profits from keeping people sick. With chronic disease rates skyrocketing and mainstream medicine failing to address root causes, vitamin D emerges as a powerful, underutilized tool for longevity, immune resilience, and disease prevention.

Key points:
- Vitamin D supplementation slows telomere shortening, effectively delaying cellular aging by nearly three years.
- Higher vitamin D levels correlate with longer telomeres, equivalent to cells being five years “younger.”
- Sunlight exposure and dietary sources (like fatty fish and mushrooms) naturally boost vitamin D, reducing reliance on synthetic drugs.
- Chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer risk may be mitigated by optimal vitamin D levels.
- Sunlight also boosts nitric oxide production, preventing cardiovascular disease.
- Despite its benefits, mainstream medicine continues to downplay vitamin D’s role, leaving millions deficient and vulnerable.
The telomere connection: How vitamin D defies aging
Telomeres, often compared to the plastic tips of shoelaces, protect our chromosomes from fraying with each cell division. As they shorten, cells deteriorate, leading to aging and disease. The latest research confirms what natural health advocates have long argued: vitamin D doesn’t just support bones—it actively repairs telomeres by enhancing telomerase, the enzyme responsible for their maintenance. Dr. JoAnn Manson, lead researcher of the VITAL trial, states, “In terms of telomere shortening, the effect was similar to saving about three years of aging.”
This isn’t speculative science. A separate study in the International Journal of Obesity found that overweight participants taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily saw a staggering 20% increase in telomere length. Women with higher vitamin D levels had telomeres resembling those of someone five years younger. Yet, despite this evidence, public health guidelines still recommend dangerously low daily allowances—600 IU for most adults—while ignoring the therapeutic potential of higher doses.
Sunlight vs. supplements: The corporate war on natural health
Big Pharma can’t patent sunlight, and that’s precisely why its benefits are systematically suppressed. The National Institutes of Health admits that just 5–30 minutes of sun exposure twice weekly can synthesize sufficient vitamin D—yet fearmongering about skin cancer has driven people indoors, creating a deficiency epidemic. Meanwhile, drug companies push statins, immunosuppressants, and chemotherapy while ignoring a nutrient that could prevent the very conditions they profit from.
Dr. Manson cautions against mega-dosing, warning of potential toxicity, but the real toxicity the the medical establishment’s refusal to prioritize prevention. Sue-Ellen Anderson-Haynes, a nutrition expert, notes, “The study really shines a light on how vitamin D can help the body… in so many facets of health including the gut microbiome, mood, and sleep.” Yet, those most at risk—older adults, people with malabsorption issues like Crohn’s disease, and those on osteoporosis drugs—are rarely tested for deficiency.
The chronic disease revolution: What mainstream medicine won’t tell you
Vitamin D’s impact extends far beyond aging. Research links deficiency to:
- Autoimmune diseases: Higher levels reduce the risk of MS, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.
- Cancer: Vitamin D suppresses tumor growth and metastasis.
- Heart disease: It lowers inflammation, a key driver of cardiovascular damage. It also boosts nitric oxide production, preserving cardiovascular health long term.
- Depression: Low levels correlate with mood disorders and seasonal affective disorder.
Despite this, doctors routinely prescribe immunosuppressants instead of sunlight, antidepressants instead of D3, and chemotherapy instead of addressing nutrient deficiencies. The VITAL trial’s findings expose this negligence, proving that a simple, low-cost intervention could save millions from needless suffering and pharmaceutical exploitation.

Vitamin D — They’ve Been Lying To You All Along (Here’s The Truth)
Vitamin D — They’ve Been Lying To You All Along (Here’s The Truth)
I’m writing this after I just got back from my first outdoor swim of the year, soaking in some beautiful, life-giving VITAMIN D and I feel absolutely fantastic!
Fresh air, sun, Vitamin D….it’s like I just plugged my body into a giant USB charger and I’ve powered back up to 100%.
Would you be surprised to learn they’ve lied to you about the sun and sunscreen? Would that shock anyone?
I mean COMPLETELY lied to you!
Folks, everything in moderation, but it’s so important that your body take in sunlight and process it into Vitamin D!
Stop slathering on sun screen all over your body just because you’re going to be outside for 30 minutes.
It’s a double-whammy to your body….
You’re taking in TONS of toxic chemicals from that sunscreen, meanwhile you’re blocking out the one thing your body actually needs: SUN!
Allow me to explain…
They lie to us about everything.
I sure hope you learned that lesson after everything we’ve been through with President Trump since 2015?
But it’s not just politics.
They lie about finances (I keep warning that Banks and the USD will soon crash)…
They lie about the Earth and Space and Moon Landings…
And they also lie about your HEALTH.
We learned that in 2020, didn’t we?
But it’s so much worse than you even realized.
We reported very early on in the “planned-demic” that everyone should get as much sun exposure as they can and supplement with additional Vitamin D supplements.
But what did the Legacy Media tell you to do?
Stay inside!
And if you do leave your house, cover up your face so almost no skin is available to soak in any Vitamin D!
They told you the EXACT OPPOSITE of what would have made a huge difference.
God programmed our bodies and set up this world so that it’s fairly idiot-proof.
He made our skin a giant sun receptor and then gave our bodies the ability to soak in the sun and process that sunlight into Vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals that will naturally heal us and keep us healthy.
How genius!
So we told you to simply follow God’s blueprint from early on in the pandemic….and now we’re being vindicated!
Here is Dr. Pierre Kory talking to Tucker Carlson and blowing things wide open (sounds EXACTLY like all the articles we were publishing 4 years ago). Take a look:

Dr. Pierre Kory: Big Pharma is ‘TERRIFIED’ of Vitamin D
Why?
Because “It threatens the DISEASE MODEL.”
A new meta-analysis out of Italy, published in the journal, Nutrients, has unearthed some shocking data about Vitamin D.
Looking at data from 16 different studies and 1.26 million individuals, the meta-analysis revealed:
• Vitamin D showed about a 60% effectiveness against the incidence of COVID-19 in randomized control trials.
• Vitamin D showed about 40-50% effectiveness in reducing the incidence of COVID-19 in observational studies.
• For preventing severe COVID-19 cases requiring ICU care, vitamin D supplementation was about 70% effective.
So, we didn’t need to lock ourselves inside for years, be afraid, and vilify our neighbors for not wearing a mask.
All we needed to do was to go outside, get sunshine, and increase our vitamin D levels, and everything would have been fine.

And a backup Vitamin D3:
When you start to see through the lies, you start to spot the plot against you EVERYWHERE…
Think sunscreen next.
Why do they constantly tell you the sun is bad?
Why are they constantly trying to block out the sun?
Whether it’s spraying Chemtrails (add your photos to my site here as we build out the largest online database of criminal chemtrail spraying: https://ChemtrailsExposed.com/) to block out the sun from even reaching you…
Or brainwashing you that you must put creams on your skin to block out the sun from hitting you….
…it’s a constant effort to separate you from the sun.
Now ask yourself why?
And go back to what I said up above — how did God set things up?
If you ask me, he seems to be pretty keen on our skin absorbing the sun and converting it into things that keep us healthy and full of life.
Now imagine if it was a double-whammy and not only were they blocking out the sun and the benefits it gives you, but now imagine the sunscreen chemicals you apply directly to your skin cause cancer?
That’s what this woman says and I believe her:

EXPOSED: Vitamin D Treatment for C-19 Completely Vindicated By New Scientific Study!
Imagine that…Vitamin D works.
In fact, it works really well!
Just.
Like.
We.
Told.
You!
Here is my friend Kyle Becker with more on his Substack:
Public health authorities around the world suppressed scientific evidence that Vitamin D deficiency was associated with severe Covid outcomes, and furthermore, some officials misled the public about alleged studies showing the vitamin did nothing for treating the viral infection.
Vitamin D deficiency has long been associated with reduced immune function that can lead to viral infection. Several studies have shown that Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increases the risk of infection with COVID-19. However, it is unknown if treatment with Vitamin D can reduce the associated risk of COVID-19 infection, which is the focus of this study. In the population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills were associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection of 28% and 20%, respectively [(D3 Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.80, [95% CI 0.77, 0.83]), D2 HR = 0.72, [95% CI 0.65, 0.79]]. Mortality within 30-days of COVID-19 infection was similarly 33% lower with Vitamin D3 and 25% lower with D2 (D3 HR = 0.67, [95% CI 0.59, 0.75]; D2 HR = 0.75, [95% CI 0.55, 1.04]). We also find that after controlling for vitamin D blood levels, veterans receiving higher dosages of Vitamin D obtained greater benefits from supplementation than veterans receiving lower dosages. Veterans with Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection following supplementation. Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions with supplementation than White veterans. As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The statistical analysis showed that “Vitamin D3 supplementation was associated with a 33% lower risk of COVID-19 infection ending in mortality within 30 days,” the study noted. “However, results for vitamin D2 were statistically insignificant.”
Vitamin D insufficiency affects almost 50% of the population worldwide. Vitamin D supplements may have been helpful not only for treatment and prevention of Covid-19 treatment, but a host of other chronic illnesses. It was a win/win for the patients to get more sunshine and Vitamin D supplements, but arguably, a loss for public health professionals and the pharmaceutical industry that had gone into overdrive pushing a ‘vaccines or nothing’ Covid response.
The ‘Nature’ study further throws into serious question the decision to enforce lockdowns during the Covid pandemic, which compelled millions of civilians to stay indoors, and deprived them of the Vitamin-D-promoting powers of sunlight. Furthermore, there is scarce if any evidence that Covid-19 is spread outdoors.
Adding to the public’s confusion on the matter, British Health Secretary Matt Hancock misled the Parliament in 2020 by stating that a Vitamin D study was conducted that showed it was not effective for treating Covid.
“Health Secretary Matt Hancock was told to ‘get his facts straight’ today after shooting down vitamin D as a potential coronavirus treatment despite a growing body of evidence from around the world suggesting it works,” the Daily Mail reported at the time.
“Experts have for months been calling for officials to look into the immune system-boosting nutrient’s effect on Covid-19 patients after a mountain of research showed a link to vitamin D deficiency,” the report added. “Mr Hancock told the House of Commons last week he had green-lit a Government-funded ‘trial’ investigating vitamin D and that it did not ‘appear to have any impact’.”
In 2020, however, there were data that showed strong correlations between Vitamin D and Covid outcomes. A University of East Anglia study showed that case rates tended to decrease with higher Vitamin D levels among the population.
A University of Chicago study found 60 per cent higher rates of Covid-19 with low levels of the ‘sunshine vitamin’ among a sample population of 500 Americans.
A study by Tehran University, in Iran, and Boston University analysed data from 235 hospitalised patients with Covid-19. Patients who had sufficient vitamin D – of at least 30 ng/mL— were 51.5 per cent less likely to die from the disease.
Vitamin D isn’t the only alleged ‘fake news’ treatment to have been vindicated in recent weeks. Without going into arguments about the efficacy of the medication, doctors have won a concession from government lawyers thatprescribing ‘Ivermectin’ for Covid infections in an off-label capacity is within the discretion of physicians.
Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and Vitamin D have one thing in common: They were all low-cost alternatives to Covid vaccination and expensive treatments that Big Pharma dismissed out-of-hand during the pandemic. Was their rush to dismiss these treatments based on the Science or based on their profits? Further research is leading many to believe that it was much less of the former than the latter.
