Re: Vitamin D // fatty acid testing // balanced oils

February 19, 2002

Marcella,

Thank you for your kind inquiry.

I don't know why the vitamin D in cod liver oil or as D itself make me

cry. I have synthetic D (Allergy D for those allergic to fish) on hand

to see if any D will do it, but waiting on that for now. I have heard

that Krispin has seen this effect in others, but I haven't been

willing to become her long distance patient to find out her direct

response. I think the suggestion is to keep going through that phase

and it will go away, but I am not willing to risk it. Hoping she'll

talk about in in her book (Naked at Noon). It was supposed to come

out in '02 sometime.

I don't think the sobbing is because I am so low in it and going into

overload. Vitamin D is a hormone and hormones affect each other so

maybe taking the D throws many of the hormones out of balance for

awhile and I am sensitive to even small hormone changes.

I am also (contrary to what we worry about generally for the

population) extremely low in omega 6s and off the charts high in omega

3s (serum fatty acid analysis by kennedy kreiger. see www.bodybio.com)

(btw, body bio has a flax sunflower balanced oil made by omega

nutrition if that will save someone a bottle on the kitchen table.

Omega also has its own Essential Balance to help.

If I regularly take foods or supplements with omega 6, more

specifically - something like Evening Primrose Oil, I lose blood

pressure and have to lie down flat within minutes after eating or

vomit (soy and milk protein do this to me, too). This is fun in

restaurants. It is worse if visiting relatives. They really think you

do it for the attention! Not too bad at home as you see the cob webs

you missed cleaning. Probably has to do with prostaglandin E1 and

nitric oxide. I think the E2 path ok. That's the butter and animal

food path. E1 is the plant path. Maybe my ancestors of way back were

from the north pole. not much plant life there.

So not only have I not answered your question, mine still lingers. But

I probably have some special circumstances that don't apply to group

at large.

Is there any other experience out there with the vitamin d testing and

bad reactions to cod liver oil/D in higher than usual doses.
