Vitamin D, Vitamin A

The Good Morning America news ticker never fails to supply an abundance of false information concerning health. Today, the myth that most of us get plenty of Vitamin D and A. If we take supplements we are risking damage to our health!

The problem is that doctors are not educated in nutrition as well as vitamin and mineral needs of the human body adequately.  Doctors are taught to view vitamins and minerals as drugs.They don't have the documentation to back up their myths! Completely natural, not synthetic drugs; vitamins are the stuff that our bodies were designed to assimilate and thrive on. Last summer I was prescribed 50,000 iu of vitamin D taken daily for 8 weeks with a refill after a blood test showed that I had no Vitamin D. So why are my kidneys and liver still functioning?
 I eat organic beef, fresh foods and limit sugar as well as keeping the five evil items out of my diet as listed by Drs. Oz and Royzin in "You On A Diet". They are well educated in health and nutrition. Obviously, they have gone outside the boundaries of their chosen specialties in medicine. I am in the category of "most Americans".
 The truth of the matter is that we need it for a multitude of reasons. Proper immune system, bone strength, mental health etc.... The body simply dumps the excess if it cannot use it. Living anywhere other than the sunbelt states we need to supplement Vitamin D during the winter months at least.

Depression is a symptom of Vitamin D deficiency. If you a depressed, ask for a blood test. Start with a Naturopath or Nurse Practitioner, someone who is willing to listen to you. It makes all the difference to not get talked out of what you know you need. It's okay to tell your health care provider what you need if you've done your homework. If they don't listen, take your business elsewhere! Most of them view you as a source of income anyway; so fire them and move on to someone who is willing to work with your efforts in taking care of yourself. I hate the term "patients". It's condescending and sets us up to be bullied. Are you willing to pay someone to bully you?

Netflix has very educational documentaries about drugs, vitamins and the statistics of the health of "most Americans". Not able to find the specific one I wanted to reference but there is a plethora of education available.

Symptom Free of Arthritis

Hope your Thanksgiving was made up of the good company of family and friends along with the joy of sharing food and fun.

I feel great! Sleeping well, no pain in any part of my body with the exception of the neck which is currently in the process of rehabilitation and doing better.

It's a road well worth travelling to get to where I am now from where I was last April 1. Some of the days were very difficult but what kept me going was the cases documented in the book featured on this blog. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain by investing the time and energy required to achieve the goal.

Feel free to contact me at: arthritisrecovery@gmail.com if you have any questions about obtaining a copy of this out of print book. I will be happy to loan or sell you one of my copies.
