One of my favourite notifications is your comments and as you may already know more often than not I’ll get back to you with a reply and heart. If you’d like more information on any of the questions I’ve answered or have a question, then let me know so I can try and either dedicate a video to it or get back to you in next months responding to your comments.

VITAMIN D:
Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body.

These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy.

A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children, and bone pain caused by a condition called osteomalacia in adults.

For more information about Vitamin D – https://www.bda.uk.com/resource/vitamin-d.html

VITAMIN D AND SUNSHINE:
Unfortunately, the amount of Vitamin D your skin can make from sunlight varies a lot. It depends on your skin tone and how long you spend in the sun. Therefore I do not recommend that this is the only way you get Vitamin D.

Remember, UVB rays in sunlight cause skin damage and skin cancer – so do not depend on the sun for your Vitamin D – it is simply not worth it!

Sunscreen is really important and if you’re ever unsure about which sunscreen to wear and the science behind it the good news is I have a video on this already – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf5vsdcJMzQ

VITAMIN D FOODS:
Your next best source of Vitamin D is food. Foods high in Vitamin D include egg yolks and oily fish like salmon. Here’s a really useful page with a good list of Vitamin D foods – https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional/
Let me know what you find in the comments below!

You might have heard of foods “fortified with Vitamin D” – this means Vitamin D has been added to the food during the manufacturing process . Fortified foods include cereals, fat spreads and non-dairy milks.

In the UK, cows’ milk is generally not a good source of vitamin D because it is not fortified, as it is in some other countries.

Here’s a fun fact for you: You can now get super mushrooms that have been treated with UVB rays to make them high in vitamin D! Tomatoes, potatoes and peppers claim to be high in Vitamin D but sadly that’s not true.

VITAMIN D DEFFIECNY SYMPTOMS:
Symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency include feeling tired and weak. You might also experience muscle and joint or bone pains.

Vitamin D deficiency in children causes rickets – also known as soft or bendy bones, and in adults this is known as osteomalacia. For more information on this – https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/rickets-and-osteomalacia/

PEOPLE AT RISK OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY:
As mentioned in the video some people will not get enough vitamin D from sunlight because they have very little or no sunshine exposure.

The Department of Health and Social Care recommends that you take a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D throughout the year if you:

• Are not often outdoors – for example, if you’re frail or housebound
• Are in an institution like a care home
• Usually wear clothes that cover up most of your skin when outdoors
• If you have dark skin – for example you have an African, African-Caribbean or south Asian background – you may also not get enough vitamin D from sunlight.

You should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D throughout the year.

Vitamin D and Renal Disease – Mayo Clinic

diseases No Comments »

A commentary by Mayo Clinic Nephrologist Rajiv Kumar, M.D., in the current issue of the journal Kidney International suggests that Vitamin D may improve the treatment of renal disease. Dr. Kumar says that while larger clinical trials are needed, he believes doctors should start treating patients with diabetes who have low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin (the active form of vitamin D) with vitamin D3 to help slow down the progression of kidney damage. Dr. Kumar cautions that more research is needed and that patients should always consult their doctors before consuming vitamin D supplements on their own.

Vitamin D Deficiency | Introduction, Absorption & Metabolism, Purpose of Vit D, Causes of Deficiency

Vitamin D Deficiency | Introduction, Absorption & Metabolism, Purpose of Vitamin D, Causes of Deficiency

Vitamin D Deficiency is a very common worldwide condition, involving inadequate levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D refers to a number of fat soluble vitamins that are garnered from dietary sources or through endogenous synthesis. Vitamin D is absorbed in the gastrointestinal system and is also synthesized in the skin from cholesterol precursors. In this lesson, we discuss these topics in more detail, including why we need vitamin D (ex. calcium homeostasis), and a variety of causes of vitamin D deficiency.

This lesson is part 1 in a series on Vitamin D deficiency. In the next lesson, we discuss the signs and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, along with methods of diagnosing and ways of treating Vitamin D deficiency.

Note: I’m not entirely satisfied with this lesson, so I may delete this and reupload another version of it. Let me know what you think of it 🙂

Bacterial Infections Found

diseases No Comments »

[Anchor Lead]

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that three out of four infants who died suddenly while under the care of a Seoul hospital had bacterial infections. Authorities say test results suggest it was an antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but that doesn’t explain why the babies died in such close succession.

[Pkg]

The four newborn babies died at around 3 p.m. Saturday. When the babies inside the intensive care unit showed abnormal symptoms including fever, the medical staff at Ewha Womans University Medical Center Mokdong Hospital sampled blood from three of them. This was about two hours and 40 minutes before the first cardiac arrest took place. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that based on their initial blood culture test results of the three newborns, “citrobacter freundii”, which is a bacteria suspected of antibiotic resistance, was found in their bodies. Officials said they are conducting genetic analysis for an accurate diagnosis

[Soundbite] Park Gi-soo(KCDC) : “Blood tests conducted before their deaths have produced results of suspected bacterial infection. We’re trying to confirm what the virus is.”

Citrobacter freundii is an intestinal bacteria that exists in normal adults. However in rare cases, for people with low immunity, it’s known to cause pathogenic infections such as respiratory, urinary or blood infections. The bacteria is also prone to antibiotic resistance which raises the possibility of the hospital’s misuse of antibiotics being a factor in the newborns’ death. However even if bacterial infection is confirmed, it still doesn’t explain why the four newborns died at nearly the exact same time. Health authorities are looking into the case and remain open to all possibilities including medical malpractice. Officials are also following up on the condition of 12 other newborns who left Ewha Medical Center or were transferred to another hospital since the deadly incident was reported. Authoritie

This is a bacterial problem. Like many bacteria, there are hundreds of species in your gut, and this one can become really imbalanced and create an overgrowth. Now, Citrobacter is often by default very resistant to different types of antibiotics. Whether you’re taking Cephalosporin or Fluoroquinolone or something like Ciprofloxacin.

Many different types of antibiotic drugs are given to patients if they come back with a positive for bacterial infection like Citro.

Citrobacter is quite smart. Like many bacteria, it actually gets smarter and smarter with many successive generations.

Particularly if you take pharmaceutical antibiotics to try and counter this. Some little known advice that people aren’t given with antibiotics is never keep taking drugs concurrently for the same infection. It’s dumb. Why the hell would you do that? Why would you keep taking another drug? Doctors will say, “Well let’s try this one. Let’s try that one.” What the hell are you doing trying all these different things for? All you’re doing is just digging a deeper hole for yourself to fall into that you’ll never climb out of eventually.

I’ve spent too much time in my practice trying to fix up the mess created by “Let’s give this a try” kind of practitioners. Be very careful. The first shot is the best shot. If you found you’ve got an infection, of a bacterial overgrowth, be very careful the first time you do a treatment. Consider carefully. Maybe you should take a natural treatment before you consider a pharmaceutical intervention. Because it’s a lot easier to ramp things up than it is to ramp things down. Once you’ve done a lot of collateral damage, you’ve busted up a lot of beneficial bacteria, you’ve created a drug resistant form of bacteria, what the heck are you going to try and do to really clean up this mess?

My opinion, not that I want to blow my own trumpet: Check out CanXida Remove. This is a product I designed which is proving to be highly successful for the eradication of lots of different types of bacteria. I’m also finding it excellent for resistant types of bacteria like Citrobacter. Why is that so? Because it’s a very compound product that contains many different types of antimicrobials in it. Some people will say, “Oil of oregano is the best” or “Tanalbit is the best” or “Plant tannins are the best” or “Grapefruit seed extract is the best.”

What I did is I spent quite a lot of years doing stool testing on patients, and I’ve really worked out that many patients come back with bacteria or overgrowths like Citrobacter freundii. I’ve worked out with the stool panels, we can have a look at the back of the stool test and we can actually see the susceptibility panel. We can see what Citrobacter is very sensitive to, and that was a big part of how I created my product, was looking at thousands of stool tests over a period of a long period of time and working out the best combination of antimicrobials to counter this, and the results are certainly coming back.

We’re getting really good feedback from many people now with Citrobacter infection that we’re slowly turning these infections back to normal. Be careful what you take. Even if you just take one antimicrobial like oil of oregano, you may develop a resistance against one particular type of thing. Just be careful not to routinely take the same natural product or pharmaceutical especially, again and again. It’s not a good idea.

When you take a very good antimicrobial and you’ve got a big Citrobacter problem, you’ll find initially a big counter response of the body. This can be described by some people as die off. A good product like CanXida Remove will create a strong effect to counter bacteria like Citrobacter. That could include for up to a week, initial discomfort, but that will very quickly disappear, and you’ll notice a big change in the comfort of the digestive system.

So, rule number one: Think carefully about taking a pharmaceutical drug for a Citrobacter problem. Number two: Why would you take the same medication time and again or keep changing it to different types of medications, whether it’s pharmaceutical or natural, to get the effect you’re looking for. Number three: your first shot is your best shot. So, when you’ve got a problem, take something good straight up front, low dose to get used to it, and to test what your reactions are, ramp it up, and then high dose. Take the sustained high push for several weeks, maybe three or four weeks, and then back off and at the same time you can take a good digestive enzyme/probiotic product. Something like CanXida Restore for example can be taking concurrently with Remove, or could be used at the tail end to finish things off and to tidy up the gut. Of course, retest. So if you’re positive for Citrobacter, check it out again to make sure that you’ve nailed this thing.
