Vitamin D


Book Description

The Nutrition and Health series of books has as an overriding mission to provide health professionals with texts that are considered essential because each includes: a synthesis of the state of the science; timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields; extensive, up-to-date fully annotated reference lists; a detailed index; relevant tables and figures; identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences; of information between chapters, but targeted, inter-chapter refer virtually no overlap rals, suggestions of areas for future research; and balanced, data-driven answers to patient questions that are based on the totality of evidence rather than the findings of any single study. The series volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective, both in subject matter as well as in the choice of chapter authors. The international perspective, especially with regard to public health initiatives, is emphasized where appropriate. The editors, whose training is both research and practice oriented, have the opportunity to develop a primary objective for their book, define the scope and focus, and then invite the leading authori ties from around the world to be part of their initiative. The authors are encouraged to provide an overview of the field, discuss their own research, and relate the research de findings to potential human health consequences.




Vitamin D3 Miracle


Book Description

Determining your vitamin D3 levels and your body's optimal vitamin d dosage and see why sunshine is not quite enough. Use supplements, recipes, and meal plans to annex it. A level of Vitamin D3 less than 20ng/mL is considered deficient in an average person. Deficiency to Vitamin D3 can lead to cancer, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, and heart diseases. Some treatment conditions require higher than normal dosages of 200,000 IU or 600,000 IU to remedy health conditions. However, older adults can go beyond the recommended daily intake of 400 up to 1000 IU because, as aging continuous, there is less exposure to Sunlight, and a drastic reduction in appetite has occurred. Taking Vitamin D3 Supplements, together with K2, will be helpful in bone health, cancer, obesity, diabetes, excess weight, heart disease, and others. For you to reap the full benefits of vitamin D3 and K2, this guide covers the following areas: - An overview - The history of vitamin d3 - Vitamin d toxicity redefined: the vitamin k and the molecular mechanism - Megadosing of vitamin d3 - Aging with vitamin d3 - An alternative/logical explanation of aging-related to vitamin d3 - The need for vitamin d3 as aging continues - The risks of vitamin d3 deficiency - Treatment for vitamin d3 deficiency - The best blood testing option - The reason for vitamin d3 blood test - Procedures for the conduct of vitamin d3 blood test - Risks associated with vitamin d3 blood test - Self-testing of vitamin d3-levels and determining your body's optimal vitamin d dose - Determining your body's optimal vitamin d3 dose - What laboratory tests must be done regularly? - How to interpret results from vitamin d tests and guarantee any side effects are kept at bay while you enjoy the benefits - Interpreting the result of the test - Benefits of 25-hydroxyvitamin d test - Why sunshine is not quite enough and using supplements, recipes, and meal plans to annex vitamin d3 - The real dangers of a high-dose vitamin d therapy - How to avoid dangers arising from high-dose vitamin d therapy - How to determine the right dose and high-dose vitamin d therapy that works - Vitamin k1 and vitamin k2 - Vitamin d3 and advanced cancer condition - Vitamin d3 deficienc

Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fluoride


Book Description

Since 1941, Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) has been recognized as the most authoritative source of information on nutrient levels for healthy people. Since publication of the 10th edition in 1989, there has been rising awareness of the impact of nutrition on chronic disease. In light of new research findings and a growing public focus on nutrition and health, the expert panel responsible for formulation RDAs reviewed and expanded its approachâ€"the result: Dietary Reference Intakes. This new series of references greatly extends the scope and application of previous nutrient guidelines. For each nutrient the book presents what is known about how the nutrient functions in the human body, what the best method is to determine its requirements, which factors (caffeine or exercise, for example) may affect how it works, and how the nutrient may be related to chronic disease. The first volume of Dietary Reference Intakes includes calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, and fluoride. The second book in the series presents information about thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, biotin, and choline. Based on analysis of nutrient metabolism in humans and data on intakes in the U.S. population, the committee recommends intakes for each age groupâ€"from the first days of life through childhood, sexual maturity, midlife, and the later years. Recommendations for pregnancy and lactation also are made, and the book identifies when intake of a nutrient may be too much. Representing a new paradigm for the nutrition community, Dietary Reference Intakes encompasses: Estimated Average Requirements (EARs). These are used to set Recommended Dietary Allowances. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs). Intakes that meet the RDA are likely to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all individuals in a life-stage and gender group. Adequate Intakes (AIs). These are used instead of RDAs when an EAR cannot be calculated. Both the RDA and the AI may be used as goals for individual intake. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs). Intakes below the UL are unlikely to pose risks of adverse health effects in healthy people. This new framework encompasses both essential nutrients and other food components thought to pay a role in health, such as dietary fiber. It incorporates functional endpoints and examines the relationship between dose and response in determining adequacy and the hazards of excess intake for each nutrient.




The miraculous results of extremely high doses of the sunshine hormone vitamin D3 : my experiment with huge doses of D3, from 25,000 to 50,000 to 100,000 IU, a day over a 1 year period


Book Description

This updated edition has a fascinating new look at diabetes as an evolved defense to freezing damage in winter gone out of control- Don''t miss it! 144+ Pages of Fact-Packed Science Based Information-But FUN to read- Upon realizing that taking 4,000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day was not enough for me, I decided to embark on a "dangerous" experiment that directly contradicted everything MD''s had told me for years: "DON''T TAKE TOO MUCH VITAMIN D IT IS DANGEROUS!" I started taking 20,000 IU a day-50X times the recommended dose of 400 IU a day. After about 4 months upped the dose to 50,000 IU a day or 150X the old recommended "safe" dose I then boosted it to 100,000 IU a day or 300 x TIMES the old maximum safe dose! What happened over these last 10 months? Did I die? get sick? No! Just the opposite!! High dose Vitamin D3 therapy over the last year- CURED ALL MY CHRONIC CONDITIONS- SOME THAT I''D HAD FOR 20+ YEARS! A painful snapping hip syndrome which I had been suffering from for 23 years and no Dr could help me-It is now 100% gone. No pain and NO SNAPPING!! Yellow fungus infected toenails (under the nail)- I tried everything over 20 years and nothing worked-10 months of high dose Vitamin D3 and they are clear as a bell! 100% cured. A knobby bone spur on my elbow that made me look like Popeye the sailor man-It has now 100% dissolved and my elbow is back to the way it used to be 20 years ago. Painful , clicking, popping, stiff Arthritic shoulders that prevented me from even throwing a ball from home plate past the infield. A condition I''ve had for 15 years. Gone. No more popping snapping or clicking and I can throw the ball twice as far . A ganglion cyst that persisted on my wrist for over 5 years has shrunk from the size of half a golf ball to the size of a pea and now it is rock hard ,painless, and shrinking. A small subcutaneous cyst on my face that had not gone away for 20 years -now gone! AND-Without even trying my weight has dropped by 25 pounds from 204 to 179. This book tells you detailed results of my experiment, dangers to avoid, and also discusses a simple and elegant new theory that suggests how High Dose Vitamin D3 therapy Should help PREVENT OR CURE all the epidemics of disease and health issues that have been plaguing us since the 1980''s when Doctors started warning us to stay out of the sun and always use sunscreen. This has created the huge epidemics we see today of Obesity, Autism, Asthma, and many others! When your Vitamin D3 levels are low, your body gets you to prepare for winter by overeating, slowing you down to conserve energy, and even making you depressed to keep you housebound. Interestingly it is this same drop in Vitamin D3 levels that signals a bear to start hibernating! If your body expects famine-like conditions caused by winter to be likely- it will conserve your critical resources for the future. This leads to what I call the Incomplete Repair Syndrome which in turn causes most of the diseases humans face other than spontaneous gene mutations that cause syndromes and diseases caused exclusively by aging. High D3 can be used to prevent or treat a huge number of diseases MS, asthma, 17 kinds of cancer, lupus, arthritis, heart disease, obesity, depression, Parkinsons+many more... This IS the better mousetrap! Most MD''s get just a basic 4 years in Med School, then work to earn not learn. I''ve researched diseases and aging for 20+ years, with a 10 year stint where I spent 12 hrs/day everyday in the Northwestern Med School''s library just reviewing clinical and scientific studies! I''ve had 3 major papers published; the publishing journal has 5 Nobel Prizes between the editors. And described my papers as extremely exciting and of major importance
