Vitamin D testing

[Guest guest]

At risk of opening another debate that may make me unsubscribe 'cause I'm too

sensitive to sort through it...

Has anyone else had the 25 (OH) D testing (vitamin D) that Krispin Sullivan

recommended in wise traditions and at the conference?

[more info: www.krispin.com - also has great pages on magnesium and

potassium. Has link back to article in Wise Traditions.]

I had the test last may and my level was 31. The krispin interpretation on

that level would be losing bone(<40), at risk for lots of symptoms. The

medical establishment interpretation of that level is , " see, its normal " . I

have never been able to take either cod liver oil or carlson D if more than

400iu a day without starting to cry, actually sob, all day long. I can take a

cod liver oil supp if has only 125 iu D 3x/day and it has helped all along

to do so. I did Krispin's sunning (nearly naked at noon technique) last year

and hope to retest D levels more as she recommends.

Friend in her 50s (I am mid 30s) had test and was at 28. {Below 20 is

ricketts} After 6 months of 1000iu/day carlson d, moved her level to 30.

She's ready to increase to the 4000iu per day as suggested by krispin and

sally as long as monitored with testing.

Both of us are dairy and gluten intolerant which Krispin hints may be related

to the low D levels. Fascinating.
