ADVICE

Target Higher Vitamin D And Take Cofactors

Aim for vitamin D blood levels around 50–70 ng/mL and ensure cofactors K2, magnesium, zinc, and B6 for cellular activation.
Dr. Eric Berg cautions against accepting 20–30 ng/mL as sufficient since that standard focuses only on bone health.

ADVICE

Make OMAD Nutrient Dense And Supplement As Needed

OMAD and long-term keto can work if meals are nutrient dense; supplement trace minerals, vitamin D, magnesium and ensure adequate protein.
Dr. Eric Berg notes some need more meals for activity and to monitor for deficiencies over time.

ADVICE

Boost Vitamin D And Use Natural Antimicrobials For Dental Infection

For a saliva gland/dental infection increase vitamin D (example 30,000 IU short-term), zinc, vitamin C and use natural antimicrobials: sage, garlic, thyme, oregano.
Dr. Eric Berg also suggests seeking alternative ozone therapy if systemic infection is a risk.
