Thanks, Frankl. I put a couple in the Header. Since it is a minor supplement, and my list is long, I think I will leave it off the Doctor's list.

I am sure he knows the story on Niacin, and probably on Fish Oil. The Vitamin D will be a discussion. He won't care about the rest. But since I have them justified, he will let them go.

The things to tell a Doctor about Vitamin D is that your body loses 70% of it's ablility to manufacture it between age 20 and age 70 and that the body does not store it until you are at a blood level of about 50. This means you are using up all you have below that number. Proving you don't have enough. Then quote, "Pilz study. - Low vitamin D linked to sudden cardiac death."

He still won't believe you, but at that point he should be willing to go along with ordering a 25 OH D-3 blood level on you.
