Re: allopathic versus western care.

[Guest guest]

i already know about pomegranate, Kido.

I eat them. They are also an metabolism booster and an anti-oxidant.

I know the connection between calcium and plaque- it is part of the

inflammatory process that occurs in the blood vessels. Calcium binds with

fatty deposits and forms a plaque in the arterial wall.

Low levels of D affect your muscles and bone development and has a part in

your metabolism.

I have a very big caseload and all of my patients are happy with me because

I spend quality and quantify time with them.

my bed side manner is just fine,

all i did was offer my concern about her lab values and you, 2 jump all

over me.

that is what sue does to other people on this list, but i thought you were

different.

if defending my position is arrogance then what does it say about you and

sue??

Alisa needs to do something to get healthier because with her genetics she

is at risk.

maybe she does need more vit D. who knows. she should probably get a

comprehensive vitamin and mineral blood analysis. i did. i learned what i

was low in and i am correcting those imbalances.

you and i come from 2 different directions but with both good intentions.

as far as the atkins diet- the jury is still out. there is still conflicting

opinion on his diet. it is not good for everyone.

we have had mixed results with atkins. that is why i send everyone that is

willing to go to a nutritionist and/or a natural medicine provider for a 2nd

opinion and to see what we all can come up with that works for the

individual.

my own thyroid provider is a natural medicine MD who also is a GYN. she has

a nutritionist on staff; a chiropracter; a spiritual healer; a massage

therapist; and 2 NP's. all of these providers work as as a team.

I use acupuncture; herbs; magnesium, armour, a vegan diet, exercise with

both weights and aerobics; water and garlic; omega-3's; pomengranates;

blueberries etc. i have lowered all my lipids to low normal levels. my labs

are very healthy. this was all acomplished by eating healthy, exercising and

treating my thyroid and my adrenals which promoted all the good results.

unfortunately, i have sle so i have to take a couple of allopathic meds, but

i try to use more natural medicine to balance out the allopathic meds.

-- Re: Lab Results

Let me provide some research over the next few days as time allows:

First, will discuss vitamin D3 starting with cardiovascular disease's

high correlation to latitude and vitamin D levels. There's a lot of

good recent research in this area.

Second, I'll address vitamin K.

Third, I'll touch base on a recent large study in New Zealand that

clearly shows that calcium supplementation increased cardiovascular

events and death, dramatically.

Then, if you're still listening, we can look a the recent research on

pomegranate.

I'm am curious as to why you think that being pragmatic in personal

treatment options is funny?

We can eventually get to " low fat diets " , but I don't believe you're

open to any real research.
