Re: MMS and Lyme (Vitamin D)

[Guest guest]

I just want to relate my experience with Vit. D supplementation. I used to have SAD every winter. When I finally put the pieces together and began to supplement with vit D3 drops it went away. So for me, even though Vit. D from sunlight may be superior, the drops work very well for my winter blues.

Hi Olive,

That's interesting. I have a friend who is a wholistic dentist who

uses O ring testing. He has not found that vitamin D in supplement

form tests well for anyone.

The chiropractor that I see said the same thing about vitamin D

supplements. The only one that he finds OK for those who need it, is

Standard Process' Cataplex D. It is D3.

I have a friend whose joints start to ache when she takes vitamin

D...same as your experience.

I wonder if sun vitamin D is the best solution. Anyway, it's an

interesting topic especially since so many studies have shown that

low levels of vitamin D are linked to high blood pressure, cancer and

MS. Sometimes I wish things in the health arena were a bit more

simple!

Olive,

That's a good way to look at nutrition/health protocols. Some things

may have to be added/subtracted temporarily, for our health.

I do hope we both can get outside into the sunshine this spring. I

love gardening!

Getting out in the sun for 15 minutes also helps.

I've sat in my car facing the sun.

I've laid in the hot tub on a floatie mattress.

There are ways to get sun in winter.

Be creative!

I've been thinking about getting a small greenhouse just for sunbathing

in winter.
