Comment on Should We Supplement with D? by Vivian

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.

Not to me, on the contrary I’ve heard garlic is like a natural antibiotic and onions very healthy, odor? Only if you eat lots of it but in moderation they are great!

What are your thoughts about garlic and onions causing brain Desynchronization and body Oder due to detoxification of compounds known to be poisonous to animals and friendly gut bacteria?

Paul,
I, too, have your book and have understood as Sonja did. Would you care to elaborate more on this perhaps in some upcoming article? I am sure many of your followers would appreciate an update. Also, I thank you for your research. Two years ago I bought your book wanting to follow it after some digestion issues from a nearly all raw food diet. I read your book but could not find any practioners near me so ended up with a well qualified macrobiotic counselor and slowly i am healing and gaining some weight. I feel good now. I am a vegetarian of 26+ years and a vegan of 8 years now and eventually still wanted to get back to your book as it seems that you travel the same road as me. Sooooo, and this is a big ramble on…….sorry, I would really like to know your reasons for cutting down grains. Cutting down on wheat is very clear but not sure why grains……… brown rice included?
Guess that is all. Thanks for your wonderful nutrition contribution to all.

Hello Paul,

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

Paul,
As your advice is not to consume more than 20% grains of the total food intake because of the changes in nutritional value in grains, especially wheat, I wonder how a daily menu would look like according to you in percentages and types of foods because in your great book grains seem to have a far, far bigger part in one’s food pattern.
