Vitamin D3 – Know the Facts

I didn't know that (IDKT) Vitamin D3 has natural immune-boosting qualities that could reduce swine flu fatalities. The powers that be have scared the public into obsessive usage of chemically-ladened sunscreen to the point that it is causing vitamin D3 deficiencies in record numbers.
Did you know that

1. Dark skinned people require 10 times more sun exposure to make adequate amounts of D3.

2. A 70 old makes a quarter of the D3 that a 20 year old can make.

3. In higher latitude areas (Atlanta GA and North), even fair-skinned people won’t produce adequate amounts of D3 in the fall and winter months.

4. At times when it is completely cloudy, UV energy is cut in half.

5. Shade reduces UV energy by 60%.

6. If you are young, fair skinned, wearing minimal clothing and live near the equator, spending 20 minutes in peak sunshine would produce approximately 25,000 IUs of D3.

7. Your skin consists of immune cells and when these cells are exposed to sunshine, they convert inactive D3 into active D3.

8. Vitamin D3 is the only vitamin that the body can manufacturer from sunlight (UVB).

9. Vitamin D3 is necessary for bone health and deficiencies are being linked to depression, back pain, cancer, immunity issues as well as macular degeneration.

So now the question to ask is how much D3 is too much. To that I say, get your levels checked. From the research I did, even people consuming 2,000 to 4,000 IUs per day had test levels that were inadequate. I’ve discovered people taking 8,000 plus IUs a day just to achieve optimum blood levels.

Get your 1.25-dihyroxy D3 levels checked. It has been reported that a small group of people that supplemented with D3 had excessively elevated levels of calcium. This was particularly true in the African American population so why you are getting tested, make sure they include checking your calcium blood levels at the same time. It just makes good sense as part of your yearly healthy checkup.

I know there is a lot of controversy about vitamin D3. I for one take 5,000 IUs a day and have for over a year now. I for one get yearly hormone panels, adrenal and cortizol panels and a complete extensive blood panel done and have it reviewed by my physician. I’ll be 57 soon. I feel better now and look better than I have in years and I’m drug and disease free. Big Pharma won’t be taking any money from my bank account.

Now you know (NYK)! Pass it along and be A VOICE FOR CHANGE.

Namaste (I bow to you), Donna

Meet a Medical Doctor on a Mission

A LIFE CHANGING FREE SEMINAR

Tuesday, August 31st, 7:00pm
Bizaare Ave Cafe, 921 Lake Ave, Lake Worth FL 33460
Corner of Lake Ave and South H Street, 2nd Level
Will be televised on the internet in September. 

Meet and speak with a medical doctor that has the vision. Listen to him tell you the truth about health and wellness and how to stay out of the disease and drug zone. Dr. Edward W Pearson will explain how simple it is to live a balanced, drug free, slim & trim, healthy, vibrant life. The current state of health care in America today has reached epidemic proportions. We, the citizens of the USA, must demand to know the truth. People are getting sicker and sicker and there is no end in sight as long as health continues to be held in the hands of profiteering pharmaceutical companies. We are one of the wealthiest and almost sickest nation in the world. There is no reason that we are not living well beyond a 100 years of age, pain and drug free. Dr. Edward W Pearson has the big picture about health and wellness and what it takes to stay out of the SickCare System. He isn't afraid to stand up and be heard and is on a mission to educate everyone including doctors and other health care professionals.

Listen to the doctor tell his story about becoming an MD and what he had to do and learn in order to practice “well care” and not get involved in the current crisis of working within the confines of our “sick care” system.

Call and reserve your space today. Seating is limited.
Contact Donna Appel 866-464-4931 toll free or 561-389-6958.

The Bizaare Ave Cafe has been kind enough to allow me to utilize their 2nd floor space for a fee. You can help defray this cost by coming for dinner or appetizers before the event or staying and enjoying something after. If you plan on eating, I would appreciate knowing in advance. I’ll alert the cafe to assure you get superb food and service, something they are well known for.

If dining before the event, bring your receipt to the 2nd level to receive your free wine or dessert. Call Donna at 561-389-6958 to reserve your spot today as seating is limited for the event.

Dr. Edward W. Pearson received his undergraduate training in Microbiology and Chemistry from the University of Florida, and his medical degree with an Academic Excellence Award from the University of South Florida, College of Medicine. Being displeased with what he saw in conventional medicine, after completing his internship and a short time in a Physical Medicine residency, Dr. Pearson set out on his own to find the education that would teach him how to truly heal people and prevent the epidemics of chronic illness plaguing humanity.

He is now becoming a worldwide expert in the field of true, integrated healthcare, and is certified by the American Board of Holistic Medicine, and receives ongoing training from the best educators in the world, to include the Institute of Functional Medicine and others. He practices alongside his wife, Dr. Julie Pearson, DC, one of the top pinnacle chiropractors in the country, and a pediatric, pregnancy, and organic healthcare specialist.

For those not living in the area, you will be able to view this seminar on my website in the coming weeks.  You can also learn more by visiting Dr. Pearson's foundation at  http://www.newmedicinefoundation.com/AboutNMF.aspx  or by visiting http://www.avoiceforchange.com/

HCG Weight Loss Tip of the Day - #4

Make sure you keep your frig stocked so you never have to scramble for what you will eat. The easiest way to stay on the protocol and lose that weight effortlessly, is to always be prepared. Be a good scout ..... shop, weigh, wrap and prepare your food bowl for the next day, the night before.Wake in the morning and don't think about what you will eat. All you need do is grab and run.

Hint ....have a little toaster oven... use it to broil your protein - only takes a minute or two. I always have my meat presliced so when I'm done broiling - I broil on a piece of aluminum foil - I use the same foil to wrap my protein and then wrap that package additionally in a piece of plastic wrap. I grab my prepackaged veggie and my fruit and I'm good to go until dinner time. When I'm at work and I get hungry, my food is precooked and ready to eat at a moments notice.

HCG Weight Loss Tip of the Day - #6

If you eat steak every day, your weight loss will not be as significant. Make sure you switch that protein selection around. Lower calorie protein will allow you to eat a bit more vegetable, from a calorie standpoint. American beef is very high in fat content. If you do eat beef, make sure it is lean, organic grass fed beef if possible.
