Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Don , If you have been taking this without much change , I would be looking into other reasons.like your diet , bowel health , age , taking medications etc. You should get Doc's free lecture first then his second lecture ..After listening to them make an appointment to talk to Doc's office .

It has taken one year to get it up to the lowest acceptable limits for the MD but the Vit D Council indicates it is still low so I'm still taking it.

My question is, if I want to be sure that my children and myself are getting enough vitamin D, how do I go about this. How much are we even suppose to have anyway? I have also read a little about over doing it and how it can be toxic. This does concern me quite a bit. I know the sun provides some but what else can I do? Is it a bad thing to have your kids on Vitamin D supplements? I also read that if you are going to start supplementing this vitamin then you also have to take extra calcium and magnesium in order for things to work out right. Is this true?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Don, The source I have been using for Vitamin D3 is Bio-Tech. www.Bio-Tech-Pharm.com located in Fayetteville, AR 70724. 1-800-345-1199. I just call to order. The site doesn’t provide a lot of detail on purpose.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Please have your doctor do a chem / metabolic panel. I tested severely deficient in D, got my level up and no more severe daytime and night leg cramps, spasms keeping me awake at night plus the whole rest of my parts started working better, hands,arms etc. during the day. Do not self diagnose and make sure you have thorough bloodwork done before trying self medication or use anecdotal 'cures' Kindly, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks Sue, I just had this done myself, complete neuro-endocrine-immune panel. They found besides severely STRESSED in a lot of the transmitters like cortisol, etc I am also deficient in D, as well as other things like the Bs. So needless to say I am looking forward to feeling better. Worse part was finding my blood pressure high when I went for the results.....and it has never been high!! always low, so it is my wake up call for nutrition and lifestyle changes even more......
