General Discussion / Re: Vitamin D anybody?
Last post by klondike - Today at 07:53:23 PM
They can't really give a recommended dose as the important thing is how much is in the blood and that varies a lot by patient. Apart from preventing rickets which only needs a little there at umpteen known benefits. To know how much the dose should be requires blood tests probably several as some we need huge amounts -apparently doses of 10,000 UI or more.

Too to much can be bad and the consensus seems to be that 2,000 IU / 100ug won't put anybody at risk.

Research it if you care. I just mentioned it because it seems most people have blood levels too low and there are big benefits from being at the right level. I doubt GPs would agree to all the required testing. Different in the US as they charge for that. The vitamin itself is dirt cheap. Then comes the magnesium and maybe vitamin K2 which assist the body to absorb the stuff.

My apologies, and I certainly don't want to take over this thread, but Peanut was subdued this morning to the point that she wouldn't move or eat.  She's back in the vet's place now and being kept in overnight.  Our previous cat lived to the age of 23, which I believe equated to a human age of 100.  Peanut is under 7 and I'm hoping that this is not going to be the end of her life.  (I am not expending continued words of support, though I do appreciate them, but please don't feel the need.)

I'm, lost.
100ug is 4x the amount I take daily (25ug)

Is this seriously right?
So what is the recommended dose now?

Quote from: Raven on Today at 05:55:42 PMIt's as if they don't want any native British people here anymore and are replacing us with outsiders.
They wouldn't........Would they?  :boo:  :yell:
There is no doubt that they are replacing true British people with outsiders, specifically people from the third-world some of whom have already turned out to be dangerous.  Quite apart from any real danger, these thousands (?millions) are being kept in hotels, fed, given money and free healthcare, and probably also free legal advice.

I am assured that they will not be able to vote in elections unless they have lived here for a specified length of time, but time is passing and that day will arrive before too long.  Thinking about the long-term future, I can foresee the day when there are more voters of non-British descent than true Brits.
I wonder which political party will take the place of Reform UK, assuming of course that they form our next government.

No idea just how unsafe and wartorn the countries were before the west rocked up too annihilate their ways of life 🤷🏻�♂️

Maybe the immigrants coming over here know just how terrible a country we are and have made some kind of unspoken collective pact to come over, rip down and take apart our disgusting ways,  and build a lovely new future for themselves and indeed us all.

No idea.  They are surrounded my statisticians and social theorists who presumably can tell them what a critical mass is?  They (the usual crew) presumably are working towards some kind of optimum goal.  Just wish they would share it properly and honestly.
