Guest guest Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I think constipation is listed as a side effect by the Mayo Clinic, Kirsty. It's said to kick in at adequate intake level so you may have got to the point where he doesn't need any more. A blog I read suggested using constipation as a guide as to whether more was needed ie get constipated, stop taking it you've got enough. Whether that is true of children prone to constipation anyway is another matter.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi Agree re the constipation - took the Metabolics D for 9 months without any constipation problems, although 2 caps a day was about 900 IU's - so that significantly less than the D3..maybe that ties in with Sally's comments on not needing so much d... . > > Dear all, > > If my son is getting constipated on Vitamin D3 drops, will he be ok on the Metabolics Capsules? > Anyone gone across to the capsules? > I know a few on here that suspect the D3 are causing constipation and wonder if ican move Sam across to what i take? > > Thanks > > Kirsty > x > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi Bee, I was reading and watching videos from ph Mercola on natural healing etc. Apparently he has put alot of concern, and research into the profound benefits of Vit d3. (UBV being the good one of course) He states that having high cholesteral is important for the making of d3 through UVB rays from the sun, or a safe tanning bed which use the same ratios as the sun. (20 to 1 UVA to UVB)Some beds now he said have a 10 to 1 ratio which is better, but the beds MUST be electric not magnetic. He also says the best option for d3 is the sun, the second best is safe tanning bed, and third is orally, but states our bodies were not designed to get d3 orally. He says years ago our ancestors had virtually no issues with d3 levels due to being outside, but in modern times with office work etc the d3 levels have dropped dramatically. Also he says that a healthy person should consume 3000unit per 100lbs, along with proper diet, and other supps like omega 3, vit C etc, plus diet. If the person has auto immune defiencies or cancer, diabetes they should be on a minimum of 5000units per 100lbs, maybe even higher depending on their situation, while monitoring their d3 levels. He swears by its powerful abilities against cancer, but states that modern technology and doctors disagree, or maybe they just wont submit to the obvious. In his view it could replace cemotherapy. Wow i was shocked when i heard that on one of his videos. In his view on cod liver oil he stated the vit a in cod liver oil affects the of the vit d3. Therefore he has removed taking cod liver oil from his previous regime for optimum health. Finally, he never gave exact times for being in the sun, and how much d3 units you get from the sun. If you could shed some LIGHT (LOL) on that it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.... Caine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore he has removed taking cod liver oil from his previous regime for optimum health. +++Hi Caine, Dr. Mercola is totally wrong about vitamin A in cod liver oil - see this rebuttal by the Weston A. Price Foundation to Dr. Mercola's and Dr. Cannell's stand about vitamin A: http://www.westonaprice.org/cod-liver-oil/1601.html > > Finally, he never gave exact times for being in the sun, and how much d3 units you get from the sun. If you could shed some LIGHT (LOL) on that it would be greatly appreciated. +++Here's my article " Vitamin D - Amount of Sun Exposure Required " : http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/sun.php I think it is almost impossible for most people to meet all of the requirements for making vitamin D on the skin because of showering, bathing and chlorine in our water, etc. +++I don't agree with relying on blood tests to determine how much vitamin D to take since such tests don't test what is going on at a cellular level. +++Also labs cannot test all of the other nutrients that are important for utilizing and absorbing vitamin D, which includes vitamin A, omega 3, omega 6, and saturated fats like butter, coconut oil, lard, etc. Of course there are many other nutrients that work along with all of the fats, including protein, minerals, etc. +++Taking high doses of vitamin D throws off the balance of many other nutrients as well, including calcium, vitamin A. I've seen many people who messed themselves up badly by following vitamin D tests and their doctor's advice, including Dr. Mercola. +++Your body is smart enough to balance out all of its nutrient levels IF you just give it the basics (diet plus supplements). +++This program works for everyone as it is, since it provides all of the " proper nutrients " that every human body requires in order to be healthy, with just the basic supplements recommended. If it didn't work we wouldn't have so many Success Stories that are trully miraculous. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 It probably depends on how much of the vitamin D you are willing to have absorbed versus waste. I doubt it is a linear relationship. Possibly 90% is absorbed in the first 20 minutes and 99% after 48 hours. I'll see if I can find some info on this.

Do you have a reference? Bee @@ Hi Bee & Zack, Unless your time is irrelevant , its probably better to error on the side of caution & leave the recommendation of no showering for 48hrs after sun exposure. Waiting longer to shower, isn't detrimental :-) To change to otherwise, would mean you would have to find & disclose numerous reputable sources to validate a less time frame. Why trouble yourself ? A friendly suggestion/consideration . Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hi Caine, Yes, it is okay to go into the sun and use the right kind of tanning bed to make vitamin D on your skin, since you are allowing oils to build up on your skin.
