A lot of contradiction out there for sure. I did hear about a human study of prolonged fasting that does show reduced white blood cell levels during, but after the fast was over the white blood cell was higher that prior to the fast. I believe a lot of the trials on rodents don't translate to humans, so unless tested on humans I would take everything with a grain of salt.

Just had another Endoscopy to check on a Esophageal Hiatal hernia that can cause Barrett's esophagus, due to acid from the stomach causing the continual damage if not treated. The Doctor had wanted me to continue using drugs like Prilosec. I told him I wanted to modify my behavior such as watching what and how much I ate and keep from eating up to 4 hours before bedtime. It appears the esophagitis has healed since last endoscomy about 4 months ago, so no need to continue to use drugs to manage. I'm a firm believer if you are willing to change diet and live a healthier lifestyle you can avoid medicine and the side effects that come with many of them. With my Crohns in remission and no longer taking Stelara that was costing 23K every 8 weeks, after a year of medicine, and follow up after a year off of it., and after changing my diet, I have been able to avoid the need to stay on Stelara, the doctor said normally when going on a biologic that normally you will need to take it for the rest of your life. It's sad that more Doctors don't communicate the possibility what diet may able to do for your health.

Sorry to hear.

If you are eating blue berries, looks like best not to eat them with dairy as that reduces their affect.

Sorry to hear, I hope he makes a recovery, and makes needed changes to live a healthier life.

I have my middle finger on my right hand where especially in the morning I can feel like there is a popping of the tendon when I got to open the fingers from a closed position. Like the tendon is not smoothly opening. Anybody with experience with such issue? I believe it's referred to as trigger finger. I bought a little finger brace to isolate the finger at night to keep it extended.

Never heard of them before, will have to give them a try.

Yeah, I will stay at 125mcg and test again in several months. Would like to get to around 70 on the test.

Update I had been taking about 50 mcg per day for about a month and half and still only scored 26 on the test, so I have upped my dosage to 125mcg per day.

Do it! Get 60 bucks.

Amazing 100 lbs in less than 7 months, good for you.

Yes joking. But at least you would know it's getting into the blood stream the most effectively.

Can we just get a D3 infusion and call it done!

I buy those as well, they are not bad.

Thanks for the update, my wife had been taking 2k and her reading was around 25. She is now taking 4k as well as myself. I have yet to be tested,

That is why numbers matter, a lot of the latest findings seems to indicate the ideal is around 70 to 80, then you aren't off the charts necessarily. Just depends what science/latest studies you follow.

Sounds interesting, will have to give it a try.

Have you ever had your levels tested, either before or after taking?

How many of you have ever been tested for vitamin D levels. I have watched some Youtube videos that says there is definitely some benefit to taking D2 or D3 supplements to raise your levels.

Anybody ever tried one of these super capacitor battery jumpers? Thinking of adding this to the tool box for both car and bike trips. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GK4PKKD/ref=psdc_318336011_t2_B01MYFCWV4

170hp? Nice looking bike.

Didn't realize you were trying to sell it for the last 8 months. I would have loved to had your bike with the engine work and all.

Saw a few of these at the local dealer, pretty impressive looking. I like the look of the speedster with a single seat.

Here one in my neck of the woods, looks sharp. https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/mcd/d/1998-honda-cbr1100xx-m1658/6710844781.html
