Comments on: Should We Supplement with D? http://healingwithwholefoods.com/articles/should-we-supplement-with-d/ Tue, 17 Jan 2017 12:27:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.42 By: Vivian http://healingwithwholefoods.com/articles/should-we-supplement-with-d/#comment-3674 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 12:27:01 +0000 http://healingwithwholefoods.com/?p=545#comment-3674 I was diagnosed with low Vitamin D, age 65, was given a prescription that I completed but felt nauseous. I Took two other vitamin D formulas from health food store and still felt nauseous. I also had constipation and bone pain. My advice is to never take vitamin D either a prescription or from health food store. I read side affects include nausea and constipation. I now use a whey protein powder with goat milk from Trader Joes and this protein powder has all the vitamins in it. Goat milk is supplemented with Vitemin D. I buy it at Trader Joes and Whole foods also has it. Most markets have goat milk in powder form too. It seems expensive but is easier to digest than milk. I avoid soy, almond and rice milk because it has salt in it. A good combo pack is the Pink Pack for women you can buy online from Nutritionexpress.com. If you cannot handle all the vitamins per day in one pink pack take it once a week. Or rely on a good protein powder that has all the multiple vitamins in it.

This is a very interesting, valuable article. Vitamin D deficiency is rampant amongst the masses and this needs to be addressed more thoughtfully, so this article serves a great purpose. My mother works outdoors all year (in a botanical garden), yet she is still deficient in vitamin D. She eats enough greens, as we all enjoy kale, chard, spinach, mustard greens, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli and other chlorophyll rich foods throughout the year. Perhaps, her body is having trouble absorbing and metabolizing Vitamin D. Do you know of any health patterns , according to TCM, that would decrease the absorption and metabolization of Vitamin D?

I own your book, Healing with Whole Foods, and in my young life, I can say it has been incredibly helpful in giving me guidance to heal from my extreme deficiency. Thank you for writing this book! Someday I want to write a book categorizing Whole Foods as well, and your book (as well as the foods I eat) has given me passion to do so.

Namaste,

Corey Devine
