Severe Vit. D deficiency, like new after 2 months … (translated from german)
Reviewed in Germany on June 29, 2020
Many reviews have said enough good things about the book, so I just want to go into my conclusions.
I bought and read this book when I was already adjusting the Vit.D mirror out of interest.
Explained simply and precisely.As with many, many other people, I developed a few ailments over the years: tiredness during the day, exhaustion, increasingly severe hair loss, tinnitus, here and there joints.
Every now and then with various doctors, without any findings but with the advice: one should see that one has less stress. Aha. And am I stressed?
Yes of course, which working person is not stressed these days? In addition to family, other possible responsibilities, ahaje this stress really makes you sick.
Blood values ok. Great blood count wonderful. Blood values again, ok again. And all over again.
It is a big mistake to think everything is fine because a complete blood count has been taken. Please do some research.
Not a single doctor has pointed out Vit. D to me in the 3 years that I googled my complaints. Even when I submitted a photo of the severe hair loss.
By chance I heard about it: “Let me determine the vitamin D value”.
And that was the € 30 that changed my life within 3 months.
Result 10 ng / ml (very severe deficiency).
2 months daily 10,000IE VitD with K2, 2x 100mg magnesium.
Result after 2 months: 50 ng / ml
Result: the ailments mentioned above are gone. No idea how this is possible, but no whistling in the ear, fit during the day, hair loss yes but “normal”.
Regardless of the fact that no doctor pointed out the Vit D determination to me, when the result was 10 ng I was told:
“Oh, a little low. Please go out a little more, in the sun”.
No recommendation of vitamin D intake.
It is very regrettable and damaging to health that the vitamin D determination is not part of the standard health insurance program, e.g. once a year.
Even more frightening is the fact that as a layman you have to come up with it yourself and ask to determine the value.
After reading the book and also getting detailed information, I forced the family members to test and sometimes had to force them.
With and without complaints (without, because they were still young) they went for testing with results between 12 and 16 ng.
An older family member had 7ng.
And all of them still have such great blood counts.
If you are concerned with it, I warmly advise :
-Read the book
-Vit.-D have the doctor determined *)
-Calculate the need for replenishment on the Internet (also listed in the book)
-Drops with K2 (drops can be used independently of the meal be taken, tablets with meals)
-Magnesium do not forget for a higher dose (better 100mg instead of 400mg because you think you have to take it once)
*) there is also an online test (yellow packaging). Sounds promising, conveniently online from home.
After I took Vit.-D for 2 months (600,000 IU total according to the diary), I had another test (starting value 10ng as a reminder).
Results:
50ng at the doctor’s.
Online test: 11ng (1 week waiting time)
Please have the analysis carried out by a doctor.
By the way:
someone writes here, taken very high doses and circulatory problems.
Therefore important: K2 and magnesium (adjust dose accordingly).
Or opt for the “gentle” therapy and take a maximum of 10,000 IU daily (K2 + magnesium).
I aim for a value of at least 80ng. But already with 50ng I feel great. And that despite my everyday stress at work and in life.
