Re: Vit D3 is very important in autoimmune disease

[Guest guest]

Darling Patty:

What do you think about OSTO D2 Vitamin 50 000IU, because this seems like a high dose to me? My doctor has told me to take one capsule per month, and I am getting discouraged. The inflammation is not getting better, and I cannot take painkillers.

Thank you for all that you do for us...love you....Lea

Vit D3 is very important in autoimmune disease

If you are not taking supplemental Vitamin D3, please watch this important video or at least read the article. This is one vitamin you will NOT EVER want to be without, it is that important to your health.http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/12/16/my-one-hour-vitamin-d-lecture-to-clear-up-all-your-confusion-on-this-vital-nutrient.aspxThe good news is that it is cheap and easy to get.Patty

Lea,

Your form of Vit D is wrong.

You must have the Vit D3, called Cholcalciferol.

50,000 IU of D2 is first of all, a very, very high dose, and 2nd of all, based

on what I've read, will not work to raise your levels of Vitamin D in your body.

My doctor also was very firm about it being the form of D3 and NOT D2, so your

doctor needs to get up to speed on his knowledge of treating inflammation with

Vitamin D.

Please watch the video and read the article. But first, get yourself some Vit

D3! It is cheap!

If you read the reviews of the people who took the various brands of Vit D3 on

iHerb, you will see how helpful it is to them, how cheap it is, and how

important it is to take high doses to get your levels where they need to be.

Many are taking over 10,000 IU a day.

Lea, you can make this change....I am sure it will help you to do it!

Dr. Mercola refers to research by UCSD Dr. Cedric Garland.

Here's a short interview with him that I will be sending along to relatives.

Hugs of support,

Lea, I'm not Patty, but I am wondering about your typical daily/weekly diet.

I follow the food recommendations by doctors Servan-Schreiber and Fuhrman. They

are seeing remarkable improvements in patients with inflammation and autoimmune

issues.

Both men have books and websites.

If you want to post some of your typical daily foods, I would be happy to lend

some suggestions.

Hugs of support,

M.

Oh, , I have just seen your message, and I am sorry that it took so long for me to respond.

I have oatmeal in the morning, and a peanut butter sandwich with a banana for lunch...later in the afternoon I have an orange. Our dinners do vary, because we eat late, because of 's work. Most of the time I will just have toast or a sandwich. We are not eating enough vegetables, but we are going to change that.

Thank you for offering to help me to improve my diet...love you...Lea

Yes, Lea, I'm here for feedback if you'd like some.

It's good that you are moving toward bumping up the veggie eating :-)

I am on another Group, Eat-2-Live. Many women who begin eating the way

Dr. Fuhrman, Servan-Schreiber, Esselstyn, and Barnard suggest

find they soon improve their inflamation issues. Each has a good website for

information.

Recipes to support the plan are free too in each of their books as well as at

fatfreevegan.com

Don't let the name scare you. If you like salads, soups, and casseroles you'll

be fine :-)

Is there a CSA, farmers' market, or healthfood store in your area?

They are all great sources for cheap leafy greens, which are so very important

to include in meals.

Personally, I found that wheat flour and also peanuts are inflammation producers

for me. They also cause carbohydrate cravings and were tricky to 'get' off of.

But worth it. If you tried it for one week, you'd know for your self if that was

the case or not for you.

A healthy liver supports our wellness in many ways;

Whether you begin a gradual shift or a rapid one is up to you. It's all

progress.

Ask me anything.
