Vitamin D and you
There is so much talk about this today. Almost daily it is in the news. A very simple approach to getting the amount you need is this.
Understand that it is an essential food. This means you need it daily. THe body needs it for so many things. Some call it a hormone, some call it a vitamin. Some call it both. Either way, we need it daily.
As a hormone, it feeds the endocrine glands. Like the liver, kidneys, thyroid, adrenals,etc. They can then make new cells: muscles, tendons, ligaments,etc. As a vitamin, it feeds the skin, hair, teeth, nails, etc. It helps with calcium metabolism, builds the Immune System, etc. etc.
How do you know it is essential? All you have to do is read Dr. Price and Pottenger’s works. They both found, independently of one another, that without it, your body literally falls apart. And over time, one of the biggest tragedies is the inability of the body to make new cells, like babies. Sound familiar? Infertility is rampant. And a big business. Cod Liver Oil, and Wheat Germ Oil ( another story in itself) are essential foods needed daily.
And how much? Price found in his studies the primitive people ate over 10x the minimum daily requirement of the “fat-soluble vitamins” in their daily diet. But I am getting ahead of myself and I don’t want to confuse you.
The best source for us in our “civilized” environment? Cod Liver Oil liquid. Capsules are 2nd. Yes, I agree, the liquid is not the best tasting stuff—to put it mildly. But the quality of it far surpasses the capsules. You see, each step of the processing takes out something else. Called co-factors.
Dr. Price found that in the primitive environment, it would turn a certain color when he tested it. It was fresh, unprocessed, untainted by man. Today, the best source to my knowledge is from Springreen, which still turns the color Dr. Price found in his studies. Some patients actually like it!! Most of us? Chase it with some OJ. But get it down!! If you need capsules, ok. as well. Kept in the fridge, it will get thick, indicating it still has good stuff in it. In fact, the thicker, the better. Like good Virgin Olive Oil, or any good oil, will get thick in the fridge.
Forget the prescriptions of Vitamin D, and over the counter Vitamin D supplements. Most of them are D3, or Cholecalciferol. Synthetic, isolated, frauds. And your body sees it as a waste product. ANd instead of feeding you, it will break the body down.
Think in terms of building up your body, every day. Like my mentor who knew Jack LaLanne and quoted him often would say: EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY, I AM GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
