Vitamin D regulates the pleiotropic effect to maintain cellular homeostasis and epidemiological evidence establishes an association between vitamin D deficiency and various human diseases. Here, the role of autophagy, the cellular self-degradation process, in vitamin D-dependent function is documented in different cellular settings and discusses the molecular aspects for treating
chronic inflammatory,
infectious diseases, and
cancer.
Vitamin D activates autophagy through a genomic and non-genomic signaling pathway to influence a wide variety of physiological functions of different body organs along with bone health and calcium metabolism. Moreover, it induces autophagy as a protective mechanism to inhibit oxidative stress and apoptosis to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune modulation. Furthermore, vitamin D and its receptor regulate autophagy signaling to control inflammation and host immunity by activating antimicrobial defense mechanisms. Vitamin D has been revealed as a potent anticancer agent and induces autophagy to increase the response to radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs for potential cancer therapy. Increasing vitamin D levels in the human body through timely exposure to sunlight or vitamin D supplements could activate autophagy as part of the homeostasis mechanism to prevent multiple human diseases and aging-associated dysfunctions.

Tried vitamin D + water fasting - Great! - Feb 2023
By the founder of VitaminDWiki, Henry Lahore
I have tried fasting many times in my life, but previous fasts only lasted about 1 day
The fasts were stopped because of an extreme lack of energy
In Jan 2023, our son tried water fasts, which he started with a large dose of Vitamin D
His six fasts have been extremely successful
felt better,
lasted 3-4 days each
experience no energy/brain loss during the fast
lost about 5 lbs on each fast
did not feel especially hungry after the fast AND he kept the weight off (20 lbs so far)
felt that his brain was working much better after a fast, especially ones lasting 5 days
I added nanoemulsion vitamin D and ionized Magnesium several times each day during my fasts
I successfully had many 2-3-day water fasts
My results were similar to that of our son
Nanoemulsion Vitamin D may be a substantially better form
Be sure to swish the milliliter of nanoD in your mouth for a minute or two
This gets it directly into the bloodstream without being delayed by the stomach, intestines, lymph (?), liver and kidneys.

Permanent Weight Loss - lots of Vitamin D then water-fast (2 people so far) - July 2023
Note: Virtually every cell in your body has the ability to fully process vitamin D
Vitamin D also augments weight loss without fasting
Many studies have found that people who want to lose weight by calorie restriction or exercise have much more success when they add Vitamin D ( weeks or months before starting the weight loss plan unless they start with a loading dose)
Weight loss and Vitamin D - many studies
Have been unable to find anyone on the web who has tried Vitamin D + water fasting
