Philadelphia Inquirer (PA) - A caution on excess vitamin D - November 16, 2011)

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked in recent years to dozens of conditions, from heart disease to psoriasis, and supplement sales have increased so fast you'd think they were magic pills. But too much of anything can be problematic, a point made Wednesday by researchers who have also found big benefits from the "sunshine vitamin."

For their study, which was presented at the American Heart Association conference in Orlando, Fla., researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center in Utah examined the records of more than 132,000 cardiology patients. They found that the risk of developing atrial fibrillation, a dangerous heart condition, was 2-1/2 times greater for those patients who had what they called "excess" levels of vitamin D in their blood compared with those who had less.

The research found that unsaturated fats from foods such as avocados, olive oil and nuts increase the body's ability to use insulin. Reduced insulin action can lead to diabetes, which is a risk factor for heart disease. So add plenty to your salads with knowledge that your food is your best medicine.

By the time most men hit 70, they catch up" with women and have just as much osteoporosis and as many bone fractures as women do, pointing to the reality that bone mineral density correlates positively with estradiol and testosterone, which naturally decline with age. This necessitates having both ones bone density, and hormone levels measured and natural hormones administered according to need. Remember, we do not stop producing hormones when we age, we age when we stop producing hormones.

Many teenagers and adults suffer from rough, bumpy skin on the backs of their arms. This is often the result of deficiencies of vitamin A rich foods, including carrots, sweet potatoes, yams and squash, as well as a lack of essential fatty acids and B-vitamins.

Autoimmune disease is a condition in which the body’s immune system targets healthy tissues. Though common, the medical community has struggled to find effective and safe treatments, and millions of sufferers are faced with weighing the benefits of incomplete symptom relief versus potentially serious risks to their health.

Every person is unique and has special dietary needs and sensitivities. Health programs are not often one size fits all. Please respect yourself in those differences.
