Maybe we have low vit D levels because we spend too much time inside-working,eating,.watching TV, helping the kids with their homework....housework.... Solution= do as much as you can outdoors. I've been seeing alot on the net recent about the need to up the vit D levels and how the supplements you can buy may not be of type that will correct this. Not too sure about the calcium levels tho, most people drink milk...? East more dark leafy greens, broccolli?
https://www.greenmedinfo.com/toxic-ingredient/wheat Despite popular opinion wheat consumption may not be beneficial to health. These two published articles make a strong argument against perceiving wheat intolerance as simply a matter of allergy/genetic intolerance in a minority subset of the human population, but rather as a species-specific intolerance, applicable to all.
even when i was getting a lot of sun i was low in vit' D, yes as my understanding also is vit' D very important to the degree that absorption of vit' C might be hampered, and not good to tie allergy with intolerance 2 different things, i have no food allergies but am intolerant of all grains. no test whatsoever for intolerance, a person has to do a process of elimination, in my case with the aid of a glucose monitor. len
[video=youtube;vNDTu2LA13k]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNDTu2LA13k&feature=player_detailpage[/video] Sayer Ji, the author of "The Dark Side of Wheat," discusses the emerging viewpoint that wheat represents a human species-specific intolerance that should be universally avoided.
Agreed not an allergy However I think because the GIT becomes inflamed and "leaky" some foods get where they should not be, and are therefore attacked by the immune system, thus setting up allergies to that food in the future. So you get secondary allergies (usually delayed 24h or more) Do you have problems with wheat-fed meat?
yes have problems with grain fed meats they taste terrible for on as i haven't eaten them for a long time i really can't say what they did to my glucose readings only to say the while i was on grass fed (butchers own stock) my figures were in full control and without any chemical medications. how i see it with my body actions going to try amaranth flour next, not that i need a lot of flour, miss noodles and rice with foods. len
I remember hearing that the lack of whole grains stops the gluten being absorbed/processed by the body, hence the intolerance Also, low levels of vitamin d is linked to depression and anxiety, another reason why the modern way of living is so miserable.
grains so hybridised now they suit growing conditions and the end processors needs long before they suit the human gut. i take vit' D can assure you i do not suffer depression or anxiety due to it, i had them when CFS came along anxiety now well on the wane, and depression very low impact. len
I wonder if this could be the problem calcium propionate (preservative code 282) a presevative in bread (esp in tropical areas) https://fedup.com.au/factsheets/add...factsheets/282-propionates-bread-preservative
the sun factor variable in all i think, when i was getting heaps of sun i still tested low in D, have spoken to people in tassie been advised by their doc' to seek sunnier climes. now had heart failure so being in the sun almost intolerable now and not advised by medico's as i am restricted to how much water i can drink (ideal 1 litre per day), so taking vit' D tabs, no good taking vit' C without D. len
Len, I think we need to remember everyone is different and some folks can't metabolize specific nutrients as easily as other people. This is often ignored by people who think everyone should eat the same diet, for instance.
Are you sure about the vit C, I was told that you must take vit A when using vit D supplements. I'm pretty sure here in NZ that you can only get vit A and D capsules in a combined oil capsule. Vit C is a water soluble vitamin and isnt one your body can OD on, it just pee's it out. Take too much on an empty stomach and you're stomach wont thank you though.
i was giving my knowledge related to me i thought obvious that heaps of sun does not guarantee heaps if vit D, my vit D has nothing else in it, and as far as i know one needs to excercise caution taking A, anyhow just how i see it from my doc' info. len
To answer the opening post, I do believe a pesticide that destroys soil biology and frogs ... must be fundamentally destructive to our own bodies. In the early 60's it was Rachel vs. DDT ... how much have we learnt about the impact of pesticides (and all -cides, really) on our environment in the interceding 50 years since her book "Silent Spring" was published? All I know, as the small person that I am, is that there aren't tadpoles in the rain ponds so much anymore.
they are common enough issues with peoples health, medic's only want to prescribe drugs, i am a bit more fortunate i have one doctor of chinese extraction who is also a naturapath he has helped heaps. my health has worsened under gpism. yes they are poisoning us by removing habitat wholesale, chem' residues in all food stuffs. len
