If vitamin D only reduced cancer risk, then it would be well worth supplementing with 1,000 IU/day and higher (depending on your level as determined by a blood test).

An abundance of recent studies however, has uncovered a myriad of other diseases that vitamin D helps prevent. One interesting report showed that elderly people with higher vitamin D levels suffered far fewer falls and were less frail. This finding alone points to potentially huge reductions in nursing home confinements along with less suffering and mortality, if every American adult took 1,000 IU/day of vitamin D.

Before taking the ALCAT test, I was bloated and was carrying a lot of water weight.  Try as I might, I couldn’t lose any weight, no matter how stringently I dieted or how faithfully I exercised.  I was extremely fatigued and would often take a nap after work.  I never had a good night’s sleep because my indigestion was so bad it would keep me awake for hours every night.  My sinuses drained constantly.  Both my eyelids twitched nearly constantly & my right eye wouldn’t open all the way.  My joints didn’t work right and if I squatted down, I couldn’t get up without help.  I have none of those symptoms now, as long as I stay away from my reactive foods.  Thank you so very much.

Many women already in their mid-thirties will experience symptoms of peri-menopause and will put on extra pounds. In order to lose weight and keep it off, a woman’s sex hormones have to be balanced and replaced if lost. One size does not fit all.  Therefore, her treatment should be customized to her own individual needs.

Estrogen has 400 functions in the body. One of those is to make insulin work better, which helps to keep a woman’s blood sugar normal.  This aids in weight loss.  Estrogen also helps the formation of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, which decreases depression irritability, and anxiety. Abnormal levels of serotonin and other neurotransmitter can lead women to eat “comfort foods” that also cause weight gain. The body has receptor sites for Estrogen everywhere, including the brain, muscles, bone, bladder, gut, uterus, ovaries, vagina, breast, eyes, heart, lungs and blood vessels.

That mammograms are still recommended at all speaks volumes about the state of modern medicine.  Why?

Well for starters mammograms expose your body to radiation that can be 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray, which poses risks of cancer.  Mammography also compresses your breasts tightly, and often painfully, which could lead to a lethal spread of cancerous cells, should they exist.  “The premenopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation, each 1 rad exposure increasing breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade’s screening,” points out Dr. Samuel Epstein, one of the top cancer experts.
