Vitamin D - Vast majority of us are deficient.

[Guest guest]

As a long term survivor I thought I was paying close attention to everything..... Woops, not true. I have used a Sperti Vitamin D lamp for some time (at twice recommended dosage) and during the winter took 1,000 i.u's of Vitamin D daily in form of cod liver oil. Add to this, daily sunning sessions w/o shirt or sunscreen during the summers. Imagine my surprise when a recent Vitamin D 25-hydroxy test showed me deficient in Vitamin D.

 

Seems many older folks with a history of cancer and chemotherapy have great difficulty absorbing Vitamin D. I'm now doing all the foregoing and taking 10,000 i.u.'s D3 daily to get my Vitamin D 25-hydroxy level at or above 70 ng/ml. This Vitamin D level is now accepted as desirable for disease prevention.

 

Get up to date by watching the latest Vitamin D videos from the University of California, San Diego Medical School. You will be as surprised as I was by what they show.

You can also get tested for Vitamin D 25-hydroxy at home. See: http://www.grassrootshealth.net/ (no affiliation)

 

Good Luck & Good Health

Make sure it is Vitamin

D-3 that is being consumed and not D-2.

I have found that using a liquid emulsified form of D-3 gets good test

results. I have noticed on a couple of forums that those taking Vitamin D-3 in

capsule form do not seem to get good test results. It is a good idea to take it

with food. One should take the higher levels (at least 5,000 IU) for at least

three-four months before re-testing. Be sure to eat a lot of

spinach with your vitamin D. To work properly, Vitamin D needs magnesium,

vitamin K, zinc and probably boron.

The

two studies above raise the possibility that sunbathing or using UV lights may

not produce much Vitamin D if you shower with soap after exposure. Water

cleans the body but does not destroy as much sebum, human body oil.

 

Vitamin D-3 can also help to get the gut healthy.

Yes, one can get too much

D-3 and certainly not every needs added D-3. Before supplementing with any type of

hormone, it is always best to get your levels tested first. However, if you have cancer, it is very

likely that D-3 levels are low.

We just started taking the pill form of Vit D3. I recently succumbed to a cold

that has been making the rounds and when I upped my D3 the symptoms subsided. DD

started to get this cold and we upped her D3 and she is not going the way the

rest did. BUT she does feel a bit of headache and nausea.

Not sure if it is:

A.) a bit of the virus still in her system

B.) environmental---she is apprenticing with a theatre group in a school setting

every afternoon and this is when and where she feels this way, though it hangs

on for a few hours

C.) reaction to a slight sunburn she acquired a few days ago

D.) reaction to the upped doses of D3---only tripled her usual dosage of 500 iu

a day.

 

What do you think, all?

From what I have learned from Dr Marcola, it depends on how much sun you get in the northern parts of the US you need more vitamin D 3 than in the southern part of the US, grown ups can take as much as 10,000 IU and the younger can take 4 or five thousand IU's. I think 400 is RDA from the fifties, which is way low.

He says that if you are naked sitting in the noon sun, for a half hour you will produce 150,000 units of Vitamin D.

Hope this helps Richard

Hi Mary...Did you got the link I sent to Mercola's site? I swear by Dr Mercola, Dr Leonard Horowitz, https://www.healthyworlddistributing.com/index.php?act=viewProd & productId=106

and this site for good information.

There is also a Dr Wolf in Canada http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/chf39.html

Dr. William von Peters http://www.uncurable.com/

I personally have spent 30 years studying vitamins, minerals, alternative healing.

I am a spiritual healer, I practice Reconnective Healing from Dr Pearl & Signature Cell Healing.

I was a healer in Atlantis so I guess I get this interest naturally.

God Bless You all, that is what this world is all about, to learn and help others.

Messages from Mathew sent me an email saying that the spiritual Hierarchy had taken the sting out of this last swine flu, so it won't do the damage that was intended.

Warmly Yours Richard
