Linda’s comments” DIET is everything…..we are what we eat….VitD plays an important factor in our wellness journey….it is a MUST…..when you have a chronic illness this is one test that you should insist that your doctors run on you….while you are at it also ask for a B12- and Magnesium level too.
Dr. G’s comments:
Why are our tissues so calcified when we age? What has vitamin D got to do with it???
I have lectured on this for over 35 years now and we all suffer a tendency toward secondary hyperparathyroidism. This is because our SAD diet supplies on average 1400 mg of phosphorus and only 800 mg of calcium. This stresses our endocrine system and we get secondary hyperparathyroidism, as a result that leads to weak bones and hard calcified arteries. See text and CALCIPHYLAXIS by Hans Selye published by Univ of Chicago Press.
What this article shows you is that higher levels of vitamin D clearly help overcome this serious but nearly epidemic Endocrine condition. Vitamin D then can lead to less bone pathology and if bones are better mineralized, less of the calcium will wind up in blood vessels and you can achieve better blood vessel elasticity.

Excerpt:
“Hyperthyroidism” is when the thyroid gland is overactive instead of underactive. It secretes too much thyroid hormone. In this case, more of a good thing is definitely not better. Excess thyroid hormone can cause rapid heartbeat. Body temperature is elevated. The hyperthyroid individual may experience extreme weight loss, in spite of a huge appetite, because they burn up calories too fast. Hyperthyroidism can make a person nervous, emotionally unstable, and unable to sleep.
