REVISED - I have found out more information and also another great

website so I am recomending

http://www.easy-immune-health.com/Vitamin-D-facts.html

http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/

for most of your info

Vitamin D3 information (not really a vitamin but more of a

hormone)

Be sure it is Vitamin D3 that you buy

there is a lot of new information on Vitamin D3 and the need for much

higher amounts.

I most recommend these pages

http://www.easy-immune-health.com/Vitamin-D-facts.html

This is an RN and she has much information on many pages

- spend time on the pages to determine what you need - take

notes

" magnesium is required for the conversion of vitamin d into its

active form "

http://www.easy-immune-health.com/magnesium-dosage.html

You need to read all these pages like a book and take notes - follow

all the links

Should really be tested for your levels before taking and if taking

for a while

25(OH)D blood test ONLY

http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/ blood tests available here (at home

finger stick)

Cod liver oil may be problematic if not from a good source with natural

vitamin A/D3 ratio

If it is very sunny, don't need to supplement ............that's why we

see less illness in the summer (and large amount of body exposed to the

sun)

But need............

20 minutes in midday sun with 40% of body exposure will give you

about 5-10,000IU

...........

I haven't had time to compare with above pages and what they

say.........double check all of this

From: " Jane " <janeshep@...>

I did an interview with Dr. Cannell from the Vitamin D Council. He talks

about how much to supplement and how to supplement. There is also a link

to find out about testing vitamin D levels.

read carefully

more vital info

" Unfortunately, we do not yet know the optimal ratios between these

two vitamins, but it is clear that nearly all cod liver oil products

supply them in levels that do not appear to be ideal. "

***********

" So it is not just autistic children that are being harmed by

vitamin A. Avoid cod liver oil like the poison it is and check your

multivitamins. Life Extension Foundation just reformulated their

multivitamin to contain only 500 IU of preformed retinol. And, I am happy

to report that Purity Products, which markets my vitamin D, has no

preformed retinol at all in any of their multivitamins, only beta

carotene. Purity has also stopped selling cod liver oil. Now, if only

Carlson, Solgar, Nature's Way, and other companies would stop selling cod

liver oil and stop selling their concentrated vitamin A supplements to a

country whose problem is widespread sub-clinical vitamin A toxicity, I'd

be a happier agitator. "

and

" However, the elderly of many countries, not just Nordic countries,

were raised on cod liver oil and I suspect that a sizable number of

Americans continue to take cod liver oil as they age. While cod liver oil

from the 1980s and 90s had higher amounts of vitamin D than does modern

cod liver oil, it still had toxic amounts of A. I suspect if authors of

the above ten studies had controlled for cod liver oil intake, they would

have found that high retinol intake was blocking the cancer-preventing

effects of vitamin D. "

Remarkable Paper in British Medical Journal - vitamin D

The Vitamin D Newsletter

*********

once again I don't know the answer here.....................

some opinions that we don't know the correct ratio of A & D

some opinions Cod Liver Oil is just fine (although there is the mercury

issue with that as well as decreasing supplies of cod)

some opinions that too much A interferes with D.

Brand Recommendations

Most brands of cod liver oil go through a process that removes all of the

natural vitamins. The resultant product contains very low levels of

vitamin A and virtually no vitamin D. Some manufacturers add manufactured

vitamins A and D to the purified cod liver oil and until recently, one

manufacturer added the natural vitamins removed during processing back

into the cod liver oil. Fortunately, we now have available in the U.S. a

naturally produced, unheated, fermented high-vitamin cod liver oil that

is made using a filtering process that retains the natural vitamins.

concern is now, is the ratio in natural the right ratio for our

bodies

it obviously is the right ratio for the fish and is in its oil, but that

does that mean its the right ratio for
