It is nice of you Jillian
to finally offer some clarification on your use of the term
“prohormone.” While not perfect it has given me, personally, a
better beginning to unlock your line of thought. This is a very good example of how language – specifically the language of science -
has meaning. Not whatever suits your narrative at the time.
I also notice you have
dropped the “protein” qualifier in regards to fatty acids, amino
acids, prohormones, and minerals.
But back to
prohormones,,,
As I have stated prior, prohormones are colloquially knows as an OTC androgen steroids generally used by body builders. In this specific instance they are a sex hormone, ie they drive male characteristics – for simplicity sake.

BUT,,,
That does not appear to be
what you are referring to as you state, “Prohormones
(also known as Vitamin A B C D E ),,,”. So based upon this
statement I fiddled with my search parameters as Vit-D, specifically,
is
not a vitamin — it is a prohormone.
[FYI::There are 13 essential vitamins. A,C,D,E,K,B1 (thiamine),B2
(riboflavin),B3 (niacin),Pantothenic acid (B5),Biotin (B7),B6,B12
(cyanocobalamin),Folate (folic acid and B9). Good
listing here, with minerals as well. There is no “F G and so
on.”]
Based
on this new knowledge, the
definition of a prohormone can further be refined. A “substances
that the
body converts to a hormone.
In fact, unlike other vitamins, only about 10 percent of the vitamin
D the body needs comes from food (such as dairy products and oily
fish), and the rest the body makes for itself. “
Antibodies
are produced by our white blood cells and are a major part of the
body's response to combatting a viral infection. Antigens
are substances that cause the body to produce antibodies, such as a
viral protein or overabundance of fatty
acid proteins Amino acid proteins Prohormone
proteins Mineral
proteins [sic]
you therefore consider Vit-D (and other prohormones) as antigens, contrary to
accepted medical science. You
even double down on that notion here.
Since
you don't state what an “overabundance” entails, I will throw
this one caveat. Vit-D
toxicity is a real thing though very rare; although, deficiency is more of
an issue.
Vitamin
D is
involved in calcium absorption, immune function, and protecting bone,
muscle, and heart health. It occurs naturally in food and can also be
produced by your body when your skin is exposed to sunlight.
Yet,
aside from fatty fish, there are few foods rich in vitamin D.
What's more, most people don't get enough sun exposure to produce
adequate vitamin D.
Thus, deficiency is
very common. In fact, it's estimated that about 1 billion people
worldwide don't get enough of this vitamin (1Trusted Source).
Supplements
are very common,,, However, taking extremely high doses of vitamin D3
for long periods may lead to excessive buildup in your body.
Vitamin
D intoxication occurs when blood levels rise above 150 ng/ml (375
nmol/l). Because the vitamin is stored in body fat and released into
the bloodstream slowly, the effects of toxicity may last for several
months after you stop taking supplements
(4Trusted Source).
Importantly,
toxicity isn't common and occurs almost exclusively in people who
take long-term, high-dose supplements without monitoring their blood
levels.
,,,
In
contrast, you
cannot reach dangerously high blood levels through diet and sun
exposure alone.
[Internal URLs removed]
So
unless one is haphazardly taking a mega-dose of Vit-D supplements (or any vitamin supplement),
toxicity is not an issue.
As
an afterthought, I would like to inquire if you therefore consider
acquisition of essential nutrients through diet (and supplementation
if prescribed) unnecessary? As stated, that is what you are
implying.
Vitamin
A is an essential vitamin needed for growth and development, cell
recognition, vision, immune function, and reproduction.
It
is a powerful antioxidant and acts
as a hormone in the body,
affecting the expression of genes and thereby influencing phenotype.
It
also helps the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs to function
correctly.
Notice
the word “prohormone” has not been used.
- Vitamin A is found in different forms.
- Preformed
vitamin A occurs in meat, fish, and dairy produce.
- Provitamin A
is stored in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based products.
- Retinol is
the predominant, active form of vitamin A found in the blood.
Retinyl palmitate is the storage form of the vitamin.
- Beta-carotene is
a precursor of vitamin A and is found in plants.
- This
"pro-vitamin," in itself an antioxidant, is converted into
vitamin A as needed by the body, so there is no risk of overdose or
toxicity.
More on vitimin-A.
Like vitamin-A, vitamin-K2 may have hormone like effects in the body, at least according to this author. But as noted prior, the word “prohormone” does not appear in conjunction with this conclusion.
[Note:: Vitamin K is a group of fat-soluble vitamins that share similar chemical structures. Although there are several different types of vitamin K, the two most often found in the human diet are vitamin K1 and vitamin K2.]
It
has been stated that a true hormone is a product of living cells,
which circulates in body fluids (such as blood) and elicits a
specific and often stimulatory effect on the activity of cells
situated remotely from its point of origin. A large bulk of evidence
published over the past 10 years establishes vitamin K2 in
this category of substances. Hence, vitamin K2 should be considered
and consequently classified as a hormone.
,,,
Therefore,
the results of Dr. Inoue and his research group more than suggested a
novel function for vitamin K2 in the formation of osseous
tissues, i.e. that K2 was a true transcriptional regulator of
extracellular matrix-related genes, being involved in the assembly of
collagen. At
present, we know that vitamin K2 (or menaquinone-7 = MK-7,
among other vitamin K2 metabolites) works through this nuclear
receptor and consequently should be classified as a hormone and not
solely be construed as ‘a vitamin’.
As
per usual, you have taken one well documented instance (Vit-Ds
ability to be classified as a hormone and also classified as a
vitamin) and generalized to an entire class (vitamins) calling all vitamins
prohormones. Not only is that incorrect, you deemed vitamins as
antigens. Also incorrect as vitamins are essential to proper health.
(Unless you ingest a toxic dose.)
You
stated the other day, “All
my information
and information of Popular Science is
correct.
Only The intention and the outcome is different.”
Sorry
Jillian that is a lie. I have demonstrated such here within this
blog numerous times. No scientist or researcher in their right mind
would ever
make such a statement. Even after peer review, confirming their
conclusion(s), scientists and researchers understand that science is
falsifiable when new information becomes available.
"No
matter what every individual is held accountable for their belief
systems and daily practices regardless of what they say they believe.
The body the mind and the spirit don't lie”
Science is not a belief system, you either accept it or you don't. As Neil deGrasse Tyson once said to Bill Maher on Real Time, “The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it." IOWs, science does not give a flying-fuck what you believe. You're making the consumption of JJ a religion.

Oh and by the way Jillian, I have read both your unpublished and published books. I have read every single post plus comments you have made since 2012. I have also read every article and study/paper (that are accessible) you have posted. I have also watched about 90% of you videos.
Based upon such, I have asked very pointed questions, I have made my concerns known publicly via this blog. My comments are open, as you have me blocked on FB and do not allow comments on YT, but yet I have received no strong clarification of your information.
It is not up to me to dissect your information to get something of use from such. It is up to you to explain your information in a clear, concise manner. You don't debate because you have no justification for the garbage you spew.
It's time to move along Jillian, you are washed-up.
