Dr. Mirkin on Vit D | Arthritis Information

What he is doing for himself and why:

so intriguing..

This is the first time I've seen that over 50 as a signal of how you are doing and it will probably work with helping to understand the ratios and if we're toxic.

Interesting post Suzanne.

Innerglow, I hope you see this.

I'm bumping this because I got my daughter's D results. Looks like her number - 53 - makes everybody happy!

The nurse said 25-80 was the normal range per the lab, but they like to see it between 35-50. She said 53 was great.

Good to see Mirkin likes to see at least 50, then stop. I think he'd say 53 was great, too, don't you?

I told the nurse I expected her D to be normal because we never treat for pain and it seemed low D was associated with pain. She said yes, and said I wouldn't believe the number of kids they see who come up very low. I'd believe it!

Pip, actually I had read this before. I was trying the 2000 IU Mon-Wed-Fri until the night sweats overtook me and I dropped down to 1000 IU. Tomorrow I'm going to try the 2000 IU again now that my body's had a chance to adjust.Bumping - I think I remember his article addresses some of the questions on the other thread, plus he is easier to understand (to me!). And its that 'natural' D again. I wonder why that is?

[QUOTE=Pip!]And its that 'natural' D again. I wonder why that is? "I am reluctant to take supplements because one study from Australia suggests that they may suppress the body's ability to synthesize vitamin D."

Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. I wonder who the Australians came up with that? I mean, you think you'd be able to show that, chemically? I wonder if we're also looking into that?
