This show is a special tribute edition to Carole Baggerly. Carole passed October 2024 With, GrassrootsHealth, Carole Baggerly has had the pleasure of helping support a core of 48 initial leading researchers in vitamin D and now, other nutrient researchers. The key implementation innovation in this project is the use of the ‘Field Trial', a formalized methodology, approved by an IRB, used by participating individuals. Currently there are approximately 15,000 participants from all over the world who are helping sponsor the project by testing their vitamin D levels twice a year and answering a health questionnaire to document the outcomes of having vitamin D serum levels in the 40-60 ng/ml (100-150 nmol/L) range. The group has initiated the ‘Nutrient Research Institute' to enable testing and analysis of many nutrients together—to see how they work with each other, which they do. A key focus now is the ability of getting a serum level of children to 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) can help prevent major infectious lung diseases and, can help minimize later life diseases as well. A research/field trial publication from GrassrootsHealth showed an 80% reduction in the incidence of breast cancer with a pooled cohort of over 5000 women, from 2 randomized controlled trials and the GrassrootsHealth Field Trial. The group is now working as well on a Type 1 Diabetes Prevention project with the Children with Diabetes Foundation. GrassrootsHealth research with the Medical University of South Carolina showed a 40-60% reduction in the incidence of preterm births by getting the pregnant woman's serum level to at least 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L).

Carole Baggerly is the Founding Direct of GrassrootsHealth a 501c3 non-profit public health promotion organization, with the direction of ‘Moving Research into Practice'. For the last 5 years, when Carole and her husband became 75 and 90 years old, they realized that while all the nutrients are still necessary...the body still needs some help and, possibly the living arrangements do too. Carole and her husband, Leo, have been spending time both investigating and using items like grabbars in the home, have seen what it takes to get them, how helpful they are to even younger people in helping avoid falls; how an item like a scooter is not well known but is a mobility agent in long distances, how long-term-care insurance can be a major driver in choices. In short, the 'Aging in Place' takes preparation and very few people are ready to do it. At this point, Tools of Living has been established to provide the information, to do ongoing development of the links to reliable sources of material/consulting on the choices. Carole Baggery is the Chief Innovation Officer for Tools of Living : Empower You to Live Life to the Fullest
Carole Baggerly is Founding Director of GrassrootsHealth, a 501c3 non-profit public health promotion organization, with the direction of ‘Moving Research into Practice'. She is the leader of the D*action project, an international project co-designed by Dr. Cedric F. Garland of UCSD's School of Medicine and member of Moores Cancer Center. This organization's mission is to move research into practice-NOW—to help move the population into an orientation of health and prevention vs fixing an illness. GrassrootsHealth has introduced new methodologies of Field Trials, with testing and education to get valid ‘real-world' information about how nutrients actually perform, and, how to move beyond the limitations of randomized controlled trials. The organization is guided by a panel of 48 of the world's leading researchers in vitamin D and now, other nutrient researchers. The key implementation innovation in this project is the use of the ‘Field Trial', a formalized methodology, approved by an institution review board, used by participating individuals. The group has initiated the ‘Nutrient Research Institute' to enable testing and analysis of many nutrients together—to see how they work with each other, which they do.

In this video, Dr. Mercola interviews three experts, Bruce Hollis, Carole Baggerly , and Dr. Carol Wagner, on their insights on how increasing vitamin D levels may help against COVID-19.
This program will feature four vitamin D researchers who will discuss the evidence they generated and/or collected showing that vitamin D has important health benefits. Carole Baggerly, CEO of GrassrootsHealth.net, will outline the findings of health outcomes of more than 10,000 participants in their studies who take vitamin D supplements, measure their vitamin D levels every six months, and report any health changes. She will also discuss the evidence that vitamin D reduces risk of COVID-19. Dr. Carol L. Wagner will present results from studies of high-dose vitamin D supplementation of pregnant and nursing women, such as significantly reduced risk of preterm delivery. Professor Joan M. Lappe will discuss her clinical trials on vitamin D and calcium on prevention of cancer. William B. Grant, Ph.D., director of the Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research Center in San Francisco, will moderate the discussion.

In this interview, I interview three vitamin D experts about the importance of vitamin D for improving your immune function and resistance to viral infections of all kinds, including COVID-19.
Tonight on Dr. Dean’s weekly radio show she will be joined by Carole Baggerly, GrassRootsHealth. With the world in the grips of a COVID19 pandemic, responsible clinicians, doctors, researchers, and health care practitioners are evaluating a multiplicity of approaches that may reduce the risk of infection and death and support individuals in quarantine. As the founder and director of GrassRoots Health, Carole Baggerly is privy to the inside track on nutrient research with a particular emphasis on vitamin D research and the scientific-basis of the role of vitamin D in reducing risk of respiratory tract infections, knowledge about the epidemiology of influenza and COVID-19, and how vitamin D supplementation might be a useful measure to reduce risk. Tonight, Carole will join Dr. Dean for a thoughtful, leading-edge conversation about the use of multiple nutrients in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and the scientific basis of those trends which are happening at the grassroots level as well as around the world. Please tune in to our LIVE call-in radio talk show to learn more.

Carole Baggerly, founder of GrassrootsHealth.net, joins the show to teach us about the amazing head-to-toe health benefits of Vitamin D. She shares how research is showing that proper levels of Vitamin D can prevent an incredible amount of health crises such as breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, arthritis and many more. We also discuss blood tests for Vitamin D levels, its significance for breastfeeding and pregnant moms, the importance of quality "sun time," and the issues regarding sunscreen.

She saw a need to get this information out to the public and for additional research to determine the optimal levels of vitamin D for disease prevention. That year Carol created and became the founding director of GrassrootsHealth, a nonprofit public health research organization dedicated to moving public health messages regarding vitamin D from research into practice. In this 2-part interview, she discusses her organization, its current nutrient projects including vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and magnesium and how it can help you take control of your health.

In 2007, as Carole Baggerly was recovering from breast cancer treatment, she stumbled upon a web site which touted vitamin D levels as being important, even preventive, for breast cancer. After more research she found that indeed this research was REAL. Why had she never heard it before? Could she have prevented her breast cancer? She started by garnering the support of many vitamin D researchers and GrassrootsHealth was born – with the mission of moving those researchers’ findings into practice!
