Continuing with the Vitamin D series of articles this week, the following warning by Dr. Mercola really got my attention:
“By far, the vast majority of people reading this right now have far too little vitamin D in their blood. Over 85 percent of people have levels below 32, which is considered deficient. In my practice we don’t like to see patient levels go much above 50, but 55 is probably a perfect level and anything above 60 is likely to be toxic. This study found cancer started to occur at 80. So, be smart and get your vitamin D level tested.
It is important to understand that it is not easy to get high levels of vitamin D without taking very large doses for long periods of time.
Researchers found that the normal levels (40-60) of vitamin D are linked with the lowest risk of prostate cancer.”
Many places are popping up, offering Vitamin D testing. Certainly you can obtain the testing through Dr. Mercola.
In March of this year I had my very first Vitamin D testing done. I obtained my home test kit from www.canaryclub.org. In researching overall hormone kit costs, I found that site to be the most reasonable in terms of cost compared to any other I found.
More info later, gotta run for now! : )
