Vitamin D3 discussion

yep,

5000 iu per day, for 2 years now. feels great.

Why the redundancy? Of course the sun. I was responding to a specific comment and high dose effects on infants pre and post birth.
Mothers need the info from somewhere.

I've been taking D3 for years. I currently take 8,000iu a day. Last blood test showed 49. One of the nurses who was taking my information last dr. visit (2 months ago) saw my list of supplements and said "What is vitamin D3?" She's in the medical profession and didn't know what it was. Reminds me of 10 years ago Dr. saw my supplement list and asked me "Why are you taking Fish Oil??!" That was before it became mainstream to take it.

ok that was not me but that is truth
saved me from sating it

The sun is the absolute best source for D. I get anywhere from 1-4 hrs. a day (Florida) and at 68 never sick, play tennis 6-7 days a week and feel better than in my 30's.I never go to doctors and am on no drugs for 20 plus years. The sun is your best source for health, even animals know this, they lay in morning sun often.

One discrepancy flyover here is D3 & Iodine from fish, kelp and even sea salt which is uncontaminated and tested as being so.
Virtually every nutrient we pull from the oceans and seas routinely up until the recent past could merit a level of trust from certain regions, but no more.
..and we all know the drill as to why.

Maybe a good idea to look squarely at this, you know, "et the upper hand before it gets you" as my scorpio father used to say. :D

Did you guys know one of the things chemtrails do its block vit D from sun? Im taking 10000 ius per day but my level was 16 the last time it was checked. Hopefuly this will help with autoimmunity.

I still enjoy my sun baths

I also recommend watching the video from Dr. Mercola previously mentioned by an AC.

That's why people suggest vitamin K2. As I read somewhere "it keeps the calcium where it's supposed to be (in the bones) and not where it's not supposed to be (in the arteries)".

Out of curiosity but has anyone had their teeth start hurting after taking vitamin d for 2-3 weeks consistently. I know someone who had to stop it because their teeth became sensitive on vitamin d.

I take 25,000 IU a day and never get sick. I'm also 44 years old and have more energy than when I was in my twenties

Magnesium is best absorbed by SPRAYING on the SKIN !!!! Get the liquid elemental Mg in health food store and dilute it to make a spray. Spray your body with it.

There are tanning beds available for those who have the money and do not want to take pills.

You would want to use the ones with "electronic ballast" rather than "magnetic ballasts."


Most tanning parlors have beds with magnetic ballasts.



I am no expert on it.......but it is another option to consider during the winter months.

Maybe these two factors are just coincidental and not related. Causes for sensitive teeth take years to develop, gingivitis becoming periodontal..those little exposed gumline upper root honeycombs lead to nerve endings waiting to scream. Teeth/gums respond to direct application of CoQ10. Systemic route is rarely efficient.

About 80 to 90 percent of folks are also deficient in magnesium and there is a connection between magnesium and Vit D3.

Here is a snippet from the article...but there is more, so read the whole thing.

"Magnesium and vitamin D

Magnesium has been found to influence the body’s utilization of vitamin D in the following ways: Magnesium activates cellular enzymatic activity. In fact, all the enzymes that metabolize vitamin D require it. 3 4 Low magnesium has been shown to alter, by way of decreasing, production of vitamin D’s active form, 1,25(OH)2D (calcitriol). 5

Magnesium is needed to exert positive influence over the human genome and may be involved in the genetic actions of vitamin D. Magnesium possibly has a role in vitamin D’s effect on the immune system. 6

Animal studies have shown magnesium is also necessary for vitamin D’s beneficial actions on bone."

There is a direct connection between Magnesium and VitD3. Celiac patients are low in magnesium...so you might want to take a look at this article, and supplement with magnesium. Sounds like it would help. It's important to always look deeper, because traditional allopathic approach never does.

*logging under,*

awesome info.

I'll second these movie recommendations. Especially if you have or know someone with cancer.

It's threads like this that make this forum so amazing!!!

Until recently, I could buy 10k IU gelcaps at Costco or SAMs Club. I did stock up, and have enough for a few months. I take 50k IU daily.

The best I can find now are 5k IU, so I'll just have to suck it up and take more pills than before. Not giving up the Vitamin D-3.

calcium and magnesium is the hardest thing for your body to absorb so instead....

try spraying calcium and magnesium into your mouth instead and you will absorb 90% right into the blood stream through the inside lining of your mouth, COMPLETELY by-passing the GI tract.

pure and organic and these pills you people are taking are only 10% absorbed at the most and a waste of money.

pour a little vinigar in a glass and then put one of your pills in there and see how long it takes to break down.

if it takes more than 15 or 20 minutes you are getting very little benefit and why do you think your urine changes colors?

that is the excess nutrients that your body cannot absorb.

the graph at this link is listed in the PDR, Physicians Desk Reference, which as we all know is the bible of the medical profession.

these sprays are more absorbed than a shot of B-12 in the ass, which is only 80% absorbed because you lose 20% in the muscle.

only way you can do better is with an IV....

why do you think they put nitro in a spray container that all para-medics carry with them?

because 30 seconds is much quicker to the heart than a tablet under the tongue at 4 or 5 minutes.

this is the technology of the future, a paradigm shift, and they are working on putting insulin in spray containers so there would be no more needles for diabetics.

you don't have to 'suck it up' and take more pills...

check out the post above.

Anyone know how vitamin d3 affects body fat? Does it reduce body fat at all? I have read that d3 deficiency is linked to obesity and childhood obesity. Makes sense since kids no longer play outside in the sun choosing the couch/video game route instead. I'm wondering if anyone has noticed fat reduction since supplementing...

My guess would be that it helps overall in the body being able to regulate the metabolism better. I had the opposite problem, being too skinny. Since I started to supplement along with eating more healthy, I've added the meat on my bones that was missing. So I would believe the opposite would be true too.

Good question!

Per my holistic doc, 50,000 IU x 3 days, then 5,000 IU daily. She also advised to increase to the max 3 day dose for illness. Hope this helps.

I take 1000-2000 iu per day, have for a long time, am in good health, don't get the "winter blues" anymore.

Vit D3 is AWESOME!!.... I've been wanting to post a new thread on Vit D3 and other essentials to really open people eyes so look out for it guys!

Good info...Good thread
