Guest guest Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 A few months ago I read an UK article on a connection between glandular fever/Eppstein Barr, low D3 levels, and the development of MS. I DID have glandular fever at age 14, and as I burnt easily I would have had low D3 levels. I suspect I would be in a worse condition had I not happened to read a book which made me remove 'refined' oils as far as practical from my diet in the 1980s (but after my daughter was born in 1984). It turns out that degraded vegetable oils and margarines (trans fatty acids) are some of the worst contributors to inflammatory disorders. My eyes are not as sensitive as they were for a while due to taking a folic acid supplement. And although I have stopped taking folic acid strong light is not causing pain. A good thing as the Australian sun really glares during summer! I have been reading more on D3 lately. A lady called Seneff maintains that the most beneficial form of D3 is the one made in your skin by the action of UVb upon cholesterol sulphate, which makes me wonder if perhaps one of the reasons for the escalation of such disorders as osteoporosis may be the shorage of sulphur in our diets. Apparently synthetic coal based fertilisers started being used instead of traditional fertilisers back in the 1940s - and our crops started to become more and more deficient in sulphur from that time. The soil is being supplemented enough to allow crops to grow -but not enough for the soil to be truly healthy. I have heard that one can now get light bulbs - or at least tanning beds - which supply some UVb light, rather than take a supplement. Maybe one of the reasons why a person can have low D3 serum levels in spite of adequate exposure to UVb rays could be a sulphur deficiency? ----------------------------------- One thing I would like to know is why - if there seems to be correlation between Eppstein Barr, low D3 levels, and the later development of MS - do doctors not recommend a D3 supplement for persons who contract that virus? Thoughts, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
