Re: Re: Free Kindle ebook on vitamin D

[Guest guest]

I have more of a tan than I've ever had in my life as I live in FL.  I am not

in the sun too often  but still have a tan.  Yet my D is low.  and because of

burns when I was a kid, I go to dermatologist every 6 months, at least.  I

usually get something taken off. I have had a couple of basal and a squammous

cell removed.  So I don't need to be in the sun too much.  I do need to start

going to the pool to exercise, but it has rained now for 3 days at least.  I

don't like to go after it rains as they need to put chlorine or whatever in the

water to kill bacteria and it is not high enough after a rain.  It has rained

through last 2 nights off and on and in the daytime too.  I guess we need the

water as winter is our dry time, not the summer.  Glad my new strawberry plants

are in a box with water in the bottom with a hole to let excess water run off. 

Our bigger growing season is the winter.    I am not sure we absorb the D

from the sun well

enough.  I think I said B3 in an earlier email but it is D3 that I take.

Many people are very low in D, even though they are exposed to it by

being out in the sun. I was very low when tested and my doc put me on a

prescription D. As you age, you don't absorb it like you did when you

were younger. And the farther north you are, the less you get from the

sun anyway. I'm in Texas and get a lot of sun exposure, but it was

still quite low, around 30. I believe that everyone needs to get their D

checked!!!

This kindle book may have some good info, I don't have time to look at

it now, but fibromyalgia is NOT caused by low D, but by a deficient gene

that has nothing to do with D.

However, it is true that a lot of symptoms overlap. But when the level

of D comes up, someone with fibro still has it.

If the doc puts you on it, be sure it's D3, not the usual D2 that they

most often prescribe. It isn't absorbed nearly as well as D3.

And please, everyone, get your D checked! It should be at least 50, if

not higher, but a lot of docs still think 30 is " normal " , when it's

quite low.
