SYMPTOMS OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY- Vitamin Deficiency is the cause or contributing factor in symptoms of the bones, muscles, teeth, nerves, and brain, appetite cravings (esp. carbohydrate cravings), sleeplessness, high blood pressure, infectious disease, cancer, to name a few.

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY "DO's"

• Sunlight - Click link for amount, frequency and what to do when its too cold to go outside.
• Maintain Cholesterol Balance:  Cholesterol converts sunlight on the skin to Vitamin D.  Low Cholesterol Diets and cholesterol  inhibiting drugs (statins) cause Vitamin D Deficiency.  Click link for ideal Cholesterol Blood Levels for adults over and under 65, how to bring high cholesterol levels into balance in a few months without using statin drugs, and heal your liver when damaged by statin drugs.  Adults over 65 live longer with high cholesterol.
• Maintain Healthy Liver and Kidney Function:  Vitamin D is "activated" in your body by your kidneys and liver before it can be used.  If they are toxic, congested, and/or dysfunctional, this will lead to D Deficiency,  auto-immune, and a myriad of other health challenges.
• Testing for Vitamin D Deficiency and Other Nutrient Deficiencies and Organ/Gland Dysfunctions that convert sunlight to Vitamin D or activate, metabolize, and transport Vitamin D to the cells and tissue, which can cause Vitamin D Deficiency.
  
• Correct Abnormal Levels Identified in Nutritional Biochemical Tests, and your body will heal and the above symptoms of Vitamin D will leave.  Click link on how to do this.  All clients start feeling better in just 3-6 weeks, or less.
• Maintain Sufficient Levels of Vitamin D:  Click this link to learn how and what one Vitamin D supplement is safe and effective to maintain sufficient Vitamin D levels once attained or if your Vitamin D Saliva tests indicate you have sufficient Vitamin D at a cellular level.  You will also receive a list of foods highest in Vitamin D and understand how the only way cow's milk products are acceptable as food for humans.
• Eat Whole Foods Highest in Vitamin D.   Click link for list.
  

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY "DON'Ts:

• Sunscreen Lotions/Gels: Using any sunblock or sunscreen over the entire body, prevents Vitamin D absorption from sunlight.  If you choose to use them, click link for organic sunscreen website and what to do to avoid overuse to prevent causing Vitamin D deficiency from sunscreens.
• Avoid Drinking Beverages and Eating Foods Fortified with Synthetic Vitamin D. Click link for examples of fortified foods and why next to lack of sunlight this is the #2 cause of Vitamin D Deficiency and leads to Vitamin D Toxcity.  Click here for the History of Vitamin D Deficiency Warning.  Avoid Eating Industrial, Refined and Processed Foods, which are devoid of enzymes and nutrients as nature originally provides and, thus, lead to a broad scope of nutrient deficiencies, including Vitamin D.  
• Avoid Processed Foods that Cause Cholesterol Deficiencies and Cholesterol Drugs that interfere with Cholesterol Metabolism and Cause Liver Damage. such as Cholesterol inhibitor medicines, like statin drugs, and low cholesterol diets.  Click link for list of examples of processed foods and Cholesterol's role in Vitamin D.
• Avoid Non-Aged Cheese and Non-Pasteurized, Non-Fermented Milk and Milk Products:  Click link for the facts about cheese and milk.  
  
• Avoid Vitamin D Supplements that are Synthetics, Isolates, and/or derivatives, none of these types of making vitamins will nourish the cells and tissues with a whole food Vitamin D.  Only whole food Vitamin D prevents or can correct Vitamin D Deficiency.  Avoid Getting Too Much Vitamin D from Vitamin D Supplements (and Synthetic Vitamin D in Fortified Vitamin D Foods) to prevent Vitamin D toxicity.  This section provides a few symptoms of D toxicity.  Next to Fortified foods/beverages, this is the next most frequent way people become Vitamin D Deficient.  Professional guidance from Dr. Smith and Vitamin D testing is required to monitored Vitamin D levels.   
  

• 32% of doctors and medical school students are vitamin-D deficient.
• 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin-D deficient.
  
• 42% of African American women of childbearing age are vitamin-D deficient.
• 48% of young girls (9-11 years old) are vitamin-D deficient.
  
• Up to 60% of all hospital patients are vitamin-D deficient.
  
• 76% of pregnant mothers are severely vitamin-D deficient, causing widespread vitamin-D deficiencies in their unborn children.
• Up to 80% of nursing home patients are vitamin-D deficient.

 
INTRODUCTION
Restoring Vitamin D Balance is not as simple as just taking a Vitamin D supplement as most people, even well-meaning health care providers, believe.  After reading this issue, you will understand why.

To neglect to DO any of the following will, in time, lead to Vitamin D Deficiency and their symptoms, whether the deficiency is a sub-clinical nutritional deficiency, clinical nutritional deficiency or has progressed to a medical/ level, i.e., a Vitamin D related-disease, like Rickets or Osteoporosis.  If you suspect you suffer with the symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency, contact Dr. Smith. 

#1 SUNLIGHT

Adequate UV-B (the sun rays required for Vitamin D production) can be achieved in less time than it takes to cause any redness in the skin.   It is never necessary to burn or tan to obtain sufficient vitamin D.  Long hours in the sun at infrequent intervals, when UV-B is present, suppresses the immune system.  However, frequent low-level exposure normalizes immune function, enhancing NK-cell and T-cell production, reducing abnormal inflammatory responses typical of autoimmune disorders, and reducing occurrences of infectious disease. Anything that reduces infectious disease and strengthens the immune system cannot cause skin cancer.  This is why the idea of the sun causing cancer is fiction. Cancer is created from within, not without, though it is possible to damage your skin from overexposure and artificial light rays, like tanning beds.  Click here for HealthQuest eNews, Vol./Issue #56 (05/09) for causes of skin cancer. 

Contrary to what scientists originally believed, only sun between 10 am and 2 pm during summer months (or winter months in southern latitudes) for 20-120 minutes, depending on skin type and color, will form adequate vitamin D before burning occurs.  It is best to delay showering or bathing for one hour after exposure to complete Vitamin D absorption. The skin oils in which vitamin D is produced can also be removed by chlorine in swimming pools.  Swimming Pools that utilize Sea Salt, instead of chemicals, for pool maintenance are the only pools to swim in today. 
 
In order to achieve optimal levels of vitamin D, 85 percent of body surface needs exposure.  Light-skinned people need 10-20 minutes of exposure, while dark-skinned people need 90-120 minutes.

When less sunlight is available due to latitude or season, supplementation with BIFCLO is a must.  Besides the health cautions associated with sunlamps and tanning beds, the latter, provides high levels of UV-A, which from sun, or artificial rays, does not provide Vitamin D.

#2  MAINTAIN CHOLESTEROL BALANCE: 
 
You can receive adequate sunlight for Vitamin D production; however, the body requires sufficient Cholesterol to convert sunlight to Vitamin D.   Therefore, Vitamin D deficiency can be caused by Cholesterol inhibitor medicines, like statin drugs, and low cholesterol diets.  Eating foods labeled as  "Low Cholesterol, Low Fat, Light, Lite, Fat Free, Low Fat, 2%, No Fat," not only leads to Vitamin D deficiency, it also interferes with your body's ability to manage pain. 

[Note:  Cholesterol is required for healthy brain function and hormone balance (thyroid, adrenals, male, female, etc. and Essential Fatty Acids are our body's natural pain regulators. The Fiction the public has been sold regarding Low Cholesterol - Low Fat diets has lead to more pain, mental, emotional, male/female health challenges, today, than any other time in history.] 

For your cholesterol to be in homeostasis, which is perfect biochemical balance (i.e., perfect health), your blood test values must be:
 
Adults under Age 65 - Values 180 -  200
Adults over Age 65 - Values over 200 (see below*)
Children - values are different according to age, weight, etc. and not provided in this article.  Contact Dr. Smith for this.

To correct Cholesterol Imbalance - Too High or Too Low:   Contact Dr. Smith for a Cholesterol Balancing Nutritional Support Program.  Our clients generally reach cholesterol balance in 1-3 months, depending upon the severity of your current level of High or Low Cholesterol at the onset.  Our clients are, also, coached on how to maintain healthy cholesterol once attained.
 
Liver-Damaging Drugs Lead To Cholesterol Imbalance:
Physicians routinely run blood tests to monitor the Liver for patients taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, and other drugs, that, in time, can lead to dysfunction and damage the liver. When the body does not receive sufficient Cholesterol from foods, the liver is designed to produce Cholesterol.  This is how important Cholesterol is to the healthy function of the human body. Dr. Smith's Clinical Nutrition Cholesterol Balancing Program will safely, effectively, with no side effects, balances your cholesterol and is designed to improve liver function, even if you have previously been on drugs that have adversely affected your liver.

#3  MAINTAIN HEALTHY LIVER AND KIDNEY FUNCTION

Vitamin D is "activated" in your body by your kidneys and liver before it can be used.  If the liver and kidneys are toxic, congested, and/or dysfunctional, as decades of clinical nutrition testing has proven is the case for all clients who seek our help, this will lead to Vitamin D Deficiency,  as well as auto-immune diseases and a myriad of other health challenges. 

Contact Dr. Smith for a 30-Day Full Body Detoxification Program, and do this 1-2 times a year, to keep your liver, kidneys, bladder, stomach, lymphatic system, skin, small and large intestines healthy.  Visit any On-Site Clinic, sponsored by Advanced Clinical Nutrition, such as our annual  Christmas Magic On-Site Clinic for a 20% Special Event Discount.  Check our web page, "Seminar Announcements" for posting of upcoming On-Site Clinics..

#4 TESTING FOR VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

With 40% of Americans currently experiencing the symptoms and diseases of Vitamin D Deficiency, which means four out of every 10 people, it is essential to obtain Vitamin D Deficiency testing.  Count the number of people in your circle of family and friends - this means almost 50% of them are currently suffering from Vitamin D Deficiency, including yourself.

    Which Test Determine True Vitamin D Deficiency?

Vitamin D Deficiency Testing is more than identifying if you have a deficiency in Vitamin D, and requires more than just a blood test. 

• To scientifically identify if you actually have a  deficiency in Vitamin D Deficiency requires saliva testing. 
• and if your saliva tests indicates you are deficient in Vitamin D, this is the only time when taking a Vitamin D supplement will be beneficial and is required. 
• You should never take a Vitamin D Supplement without being tested first.  To do so, can lead to getting too much of or the wrong type of Vitamin D, which can lead to the symptoms and diseases related to Vitamin D toxicity and cause symptoms related to dysfunctions in activation, conversion, and transportation of Vitamin D, which further perpetuate and make Vitamin D Deficiency more severe.
  
• And there is only one type of Vitamin D Supplement  (see below) that you should take on a daily basis without the professional guidance of a Clinical Nutritionist or Naturopathic Doctor. 
  
• Before taking nutritional advice from any doctor, ask if he/she has completed post-graduate studies in clinical nutrition and if not, get a second opinion from a healthcare practitioner, who has a Ph.D. in Clinical Nutrition or is a Naturopathic Doctor, like Dr. Smith.  This cannot be emphasized too strongly.  Hopefully, you are understanding from this article that correcting Vitamin D Deficiency is not as simple as just taking a Vitamin D supplement in a capsule, tablet or powder form. 

Biochemical Nutritional Tests Required To Determine Vitamin D Function and Deficiency

Among its many functions, (Refer to The Role of Vitamin D), Vitamin D regulates over 200 genes through binding vitamin D receptors throughout the body and regulates normal cell differentiation and proliferation (e.g., to prevent cancer)

Thus, you can have sufficient Vitamin D and still have the symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency.  Why?  Because your Vitamin D may not be getting to the cells and tissue of the organs, glands and body systems that require it to function healthfully.

Therefore, the following tests are required to determine if you have sufficient or deficient levels in : 

• Cholesterol to convert Vitamin D.  This requires Lipid Panel of four blood tests,
  
• the specific minerals that metabolize Vitamin D, which requires a Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis/Test,
  
• and liver and kidney function tests are required, which determine if they are activating Vitamin D.  Just because your liver and kidneys are not diseased, does not mean they are functioning biochemically at the level required to activate Vitamin D.
  

Deficiencies, biochemical imbalances, organ or gland dysfunctions, in any one or more of the above, will cause Vitamin D Deficiency and its related symptoms and diseases.

Advanced Clinical Nutrition provides all of the above Vitamin D Deficiency and related tests, whereas, your physician, generally, tests only Vitamin D levels in the blood. Whatever tests your physician orders to diagnosis your Vitamin D Deficiency, ask for copies for your own records and fax, email or mail copies to Dr. Smith.  Why?  A Clinical Nutrition Interpretation of any Laboratory Report is different than a Medical Interpretation.  Click here for more information on this subject. 


You Can Have Sufficient Vitamin D and Still Experience the Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency.  If Vitamin D is not transported to the cells and tissue, due to any one or more of the above factors, you will, in time, experience the symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency, even if you do not actually have a deficiency in Vitamin D (according to your saliva tests), depending upon where the breakdown is in these biochemical processes, thus the need for testing each of the following tests.

Additionally, if you have sufficient Vitamin D, and the above deficient nutrients (Cholesterol and minerals) and other factors  (liver/kidney function) that activate, convert, and transport your Vitamin D, are not corrected, in time, retesting your saliva at a future date, will show cellular levels of either Vitamin D deficiency or excess and you will no longer have sufficient Vitamin D
.
Blood Tests Can Show Normal, High or Low Vitamin D and You Can Still Have Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency, even if you have sufficient Vitamin D, depending upon whether you have Cholesterol to convert sunlight to Vitamin D, the transporting minerals responsible for taking the Vitamin D to or from the blood are doing their job, and/or your liver and kidneys are functioning well enough to activate the Vitamin D.  You may, also, have a sub-clinical or clinical nutritional level of Vitamin D deficiency, which does not show in a medical interpretation of a Laboratory Report of your blood tests.   However, it can be identified by a clinical nutrition interpretation of your Lab Report.  To obtain this, fax your blood tests from your physician to Dr. Smith for analysis or Dr. Smith can order them for you.  (More on this below)

SYMPTOMS CAN FEEL THE SAME, whether your Vitamin D is currently at a sub-clinical or clinical nutrient deficiency level OR a medical level.  At a sub-clinical level, you experience symptoms that are infrequent and mild to moderate, at a clinical level, you experience frequent and severe symptoms of organ/gland dysfunctions and when at a medical level, you experience chronic and severe symptoms of disease in the same organ/gland having progressed from dysfunction to disease..
 
If the minerals to transport Vitamin D to the blood are deficient, Vitamin D levels in the blood will show deficient (low) and if the minerals to transport Vitamin D from the blood to the cells and tissues are deficient, Vitamin D will stay and accumulate in the blood, thus Vitamin D blood tests will be high (in excess).
 
Therefore, if you were relying ONLY on Vitamin D Blood tests, you and the health care provider, who diagnosed you with a Vitamin D deficiency, will miss the other factors  that the true cause for your symptoms of Vitamin D imbalance. 
 
Additionally if your saliva is not tested to identify if you truly have a deficiency in the nutrient called "Vitamin D, or not, and you choose to take a Vitamin D supplement based on blood tests, alone, in time, this will cause your body to have too much Vitamin D and you will experience the symptoms of elevated (high) Vitamin D levels and/or Vitamin D toxicity. 

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MEDICAL AND NUTRITIONAL INTERPRETATION OF VITAMIN D BLOOD TESTS
 
Having explained the importance and purpose of saliva and hair testing in identifying Vitamin D Deficiency and why making decisions based upon Vitamin D blood tests, alone, is not a complete evaluation, here are a few other facts about Vitamin D Blood Testing that you need to know.
 
A medical interpretation of Vitamin D blood tests identifies levels that are disease-related or life-threatening, when the levels are either above or below the numerical reference range in the right column, on a Blood Chemistry Laboratory Report. When they are within the reference range, your Vitamin D levels are diagnosed as being "medically" normal (i.e., not diseased).  Though this is great news, because it means you do not have a Vitamin D Deficiency - related disease, this does not mean you are "nutritionally" sufficient in Vitamin D, i.e., homeostasis).
 
A clinical nutrition interpretation identifies clinical and sub-clinical levels of Vitamin Deficiency (or excess) that affect biochemical balance and organ/gland dysfunction, which precedes disease levels.   Therefore, the numerical reference range for nutritional interpretation are different than the reference ranges for medical interpretation and nutritional reference ranges are based on homeostasis (i.e., nutritional biochemical balance).  When a Clinical Interpretation of your Blood Chemistry Laboratory Report indicate levels are in homeostasis, this is the true definition of health. 

In the case of Vitamin D, this means that you have the perfect (i.e., healthy) level of Vitamin D IN THE BLOOD, which is also good news.  However,

• it does not mean that you have:sufficient Vitamin D in the cells and tissue of your body, as this is determined by saliva testing, and
  
• it does not mean that the Vitamin D in the blood or saliva is being transported to the cells and tissue, as this is determined by mineral sufficiency identified in your hair test.. 
  

If your medical interpretation indicates you are "medically" normal, the next step is to obtain a nutritional interpretation of your Vitamin D Blood Chemistry Laboratory Reports.  Why?  Because, though you have ruled out Vitamin D-related disease as a cause for your symptoms, which is good news, your symptoms may be caused by clinical or sub-clinical Vitamin D blood levels, which can only be identified through a nutritional interpretation of Laboratory Reports.
 
Additionally, if clinical and sub-clinical level Vitamin D deficiencies or excesses are not corrected at this level, in time, they will continue to progress further and further out of balance until one day, they will be identified as "medically" abnormal and you will be experiencing the symptoms of a Vitamin D related disease.
 
Therefore, a nutritional interpretation of blood level Vitamin D is important to determine Vitamin D nutrient-related factors that affect the body's ability to activate, convert, metabolize and transport Vitamin D successfully, or not.  
 
Thus, again, this leads to experiencing the symptoms of Vitamin Deficiencies, even though you do not have a deficiency in the nutrient called, "Vitamin D."
 
.5.  CORRECT ABNORMAL FINDINGS IN TEST RESULTS
 
A Clinical Nutrition Program, which consists of therapeutic, whole food supplements and a dietary plan, will be designed to correct the abnormal values from a nutritional interpretation of the above Vitamin D and its related tests (blood, saliva and hair). 
 
Coaching through Telephone consultations are provided to assist you in implementing each Do and avoiding each Don't, as they apply to your specific needs, until you have made permanent, lasting lifestyle changes affecting Vitamin D balance.
 
Within 3-6 weeks of starting a personalized clinical nutrition program, your symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency and/or its related nutrient deficiencies and organ/gland dysfunctions, will begin to leave.

Normal Clinical Nutrition Values indicated from Retesting, not lack of symptoms, determine when Vitamin D Deficiency and its related nutrients, organs and glands have been restored.
 
6. MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT LEVELS OF VITAMIN D AND OTHER NUTRIENTS, ORGAN/GLAND FUNCTION AFFECTING VITAMIN D LEVELS: 
 
If your initial Vitamin D Testing (click here to return to #4-Tests) indicate sufficient Vitamin D and other related nutrients, etc, OR they have been restored to sufficient levels and function based on your Clinical Nutrition Program (Click her to return to #5-Correct Abnormal Levels above), you will be coached on how to maintain these sufficient levels and organ/gland function.
 
Retesting once or twice a year, depending upon your specific needs, is recommend, thereafter, (similar to an annual medical check-up), to monitor your ability to maintain sufficient levels and function.
 
What Can I Do For Myself Now?

Other Special Instructions For Taking Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil:

Do not take more unless, you get tested first and Dr. Smith recommends that the dosage increase your biochemistry requires.  Otherwise, you can causes Vitamin D and A toxicity. 

If you have no symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency, testing prior to taking Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil is not required as the dosage above and oil is appropriate for health maintenance.  Click here to return to Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency.

If you have symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency, have taken BIFCOLO every day at the dosage above for three months in a row and you still have symptoms, you are experiencing the symptoms of sub-clinical or clinical levels of deficiencies and therefore, Vitamin D Deficiency tests  (click to return to #4 Tests above) must be obtained to improve your health (i.e., restore sufficiency levels in Vitamin D, Cholesterol, Minerals and improve organ/gland function, whichever are at the root cause of your symptoms. Contact Dr. Smith at (940) 761-4045.

#7 EAT WHOLE FOODS HIGH IN VITAMIN D: 

Click here to go to the list of foods that are the highest in Vitamin D.

Click here more information on what type of Cheese and Milk Products are healthy.

People may have Vitamin D Deficiency as a result of one or more of the following causes:

#1  AVOID SUNSCREEN LOTIONS/GELS:  Using any sunscreen or sunblock over the entire body, prevents Vitamin D absorption from sunlight.  If you choose to use them, use only organic sunscreens and apply only to sensitive areas, like the nose, under eyes, on cheeks, and tops of shoulders. Non-organic sunscreens contain chemical additives and preservatives, which are absorbed through the skin and toxic to the body.  The media has done a good job of spreading the public Fiction about using sunscreen to protect yourself against skin cancer.  For the Facts, read the section on Sunlight in the Vitamin D Deficiency DO's and HealthQuest eNews, Vol./Issue 56 (05/09) in our Archive of Past Issues.

Dr. Smith recommends using Aloe Vera Gel, instead of sunscreen, and still only on sensitive areas.  You may purchase this from Dr. Smith by calling (940) 761-4045.  What is even better is using a real Aloe plant, break off the leaf and take it with you, keeping it in a cooler until ready for use.  Then open the leave and apply the aloe to sensitive areas. 
 
#2 AVOID DRINKING BEVERAGES AND EATING FOODS FORTIFIED WITH SYNTHETIC VITAMIN D, such as Milk, Fruit Juices, Sports Drinks, Cereals and other packaged foods and beverages.  Why?  The body cannot metabolize synthetic Vitamin D and because it is not whole food Vitamin D, it cannot nourish the cells and tissue.  What happens to it in the body?  What the body cannot eliminate, stays in the body, rots and infects tissue, which leads to inflammation and inflammation causes pain.

For the same reason, avoid all refined and processed foods and beverages, which also contain synthetic vitamins and chemical additives and preservatives.  Since the 1940's and 50's when the food industry began refining and processing foods to remove their innate enzymes and other nutrients, and then included chemical additives, preservatives and synthetic, fortified minerals and vitamins, like Vitamin D, to increase shelf-life for monetary gain, Vitamin D deficiency, as well as other nutrient deficiencies, have been on the rise.  Thus, today, people are suffering from symptoms of sub-clinical and clinical nutritional deficiencies, as much as they are from their later stages, called "disease."

Next to lack of sunlight, Fortified Vitamin D Food/Beverage Products are the second leading cause for the high and continued rise in Vitamin D Deficiency today.  Click here for more information on the History of Vitamin D Deficiency Warnings in this issue.

#3 AVOID PROCESSED FOODS WHICH CAUSE CHOLESTEROL IMBALANCE (HIGH & LOW).  AVOID CHOLESTEROL INHIBITING DRUGS THAT MANIPULATE AND, IN TIME, DAMAGE THE LIVER.  For example, Cholesterol inhibitor medicines, like statin drugs, and low cholesterol and low fat diets.  Avoid eating foods labeled as  "Low Cholesterol, Low Fat, Light, Lite, Fat Free, Low Fat, 2%, No Fat,"   You need foods in their whole form/state to nourish the cells, tissue, organs, glands and body systems.

Article #1
"What Is Inside Our Cells Is Proof Drugs Don't Heal!"  This article includes the "Diagram of the Metabolism of the Cell Pathways"

Article #2
"High Cholesterol - The Myth:  Heart Disease or Liver Dysfunction?"

#4  AVOID NON-AGED CHEESE AND NON-PASTEURIZED, NON-FERMENTED MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS:

CHEESE:  If you want to eat cheese, eat only white, aged cheese.  Read your labels closely. Fermented dairy products are healthy for the human body, like yogurt, sour creams, cream cheeses, buttermilk, etc., in moderation.

SOURED MILK:   Today, if you want to drink milk, which is not necessary to be healthy, choose Milk from Almonds, Rice or Goat's Milk.  The only acceptable cow's milk products are "soured milk" products, in moderation.  Click here for List from this Soured Milk Products Diagram.  Look in the lower-left corner of the Diagram for the color that represents soured milk and other sour milk products, like Kefir.  Note:  The human stomach cannot digest milk directly from a cow - its molecular structure was designed for a baby calf.  Soured and fully fermented milk and their products contain friendly organisms that change the molecular structure to a human digestible form.

#5  AVOID TAKING SYNTHETIC and ISOLATED VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS:   All Vitamin D supplements sold to the public are synthetic or isolates (i.e.,  the vitamin is derived from, isolated or extracted from the whole food and bottled).in tablets, capsules, powder, etc., except for the one safe and effective supplement Dr. Smith recommended. in Vitamin D Deficiency DO's..

Neither synthetic or isolated Vitamin D are whole food nutrients and, therefore, cannot and will not nourish the cells and tissues requiring Vitamin D, such as your muscles, bones, joints and nerves.  They interfere with Vitamin D metabolism and manipulate nutritional biochemistry, just like drugs.  In time, they also cause other health challenges, as well as perpetuating your Vitamin D deficiency. 
 
Vitamin D toxicity can develop from getting too much.   Some of the symptoms of Vitamin D toxicity include: nausea, vomiting, weakness, and nervousness.
