interesting VIT D paper by Dr Ted Friedman + which tests

[Guest guest]

hi

i just came across this VIt D paper by Dr Ted Friedman; he is one of the only

Endos i have read that i think is worth his salt

(btw, he has Hashis as do some family members and he will prescriber NTH meds

dosed to Free Ts =if patients do not do well on the t4, or t4 t3 combos...

he has very interesting papers and work on Cushings patients at well and is

outof UCLA etc.

VIt D paper

very interesting things; including the Number of tests he does to help get an

ACcurate picture of person's Vit D status!

including the Calcium test (Regular blood Calcium test???)

and PTH test

from reading this; i got the impression that he does not suggest taking VIt D

supplements if you do not have a low (or lowest Normal?) vit D ?

sadly my dr only ran the Vit D OH-25 test (which is the 'storage' form made by

yoru liver.

apparently the Kidneys then have to take that amount and do somehting to make

the : Vit D 1-OH25? test (if i got that name right:)
