| | | Hello Pogeu,
I live in New Orleans. I try to help my patients solve some interesting out of the box problems with my Allergy-Immunology background.
I agree that D3 is a hormone with hundreds or receptors on every cell in the body. I have always called it a vitamin because that is its name, and like you said, I am an old dog.
I getting blood work tomorrow and am interested in checking my VAP, Chem, uric acid, PSA. I have always had high total and LDL, high triglycerides, gout since my late twenties, low HDL.
I gave up wheat, corn, rice, and potatoes along with artificial sweeteners 10 weeks ago. Have been low carb for 4 years and still became pre-diabetic. With metformin I now have normal HbA1C and have 20 lbs, the last 5 of which has been with avoiding grains.
It seems many of Holick's published articles was with D2 in the early 2000 timeframe.
Will enjoy continuing to discuss non vitamin D3 with you on this thread. Will see if 10,000 units of D3 raise my HDL and the grain restriction along with higher doses of fish oil lower the triglycerides. |
