Yep. Depending on how long you go, the body turns on a healing process that few understand. I think it is somewhere around day 30.

I guess you don’t understand “/s”

I didn’t see the /s; but fasting is the #1 thing to do for all of those things you listed.

Ok, I’ll ask you a serious question. I typically go 18 hours from dinner to my first meal of the next day. Is that fasting?

Intermittent, somewhat. Dr Eric Berg on YT has the best videos I’ve seen, from 3-40 day fasts. He has some pointers on how to do intermittent fasts too.

“If you have problems from having too much vitamin d, consuming green and orange vegetables help.”

What might those problems be? Thank you.

Yes...there probably is a connection. That and other hormones.

I read Earl Mindell's "Vitamin Bible" in the early 1980's and haven't stopped.

Cool! He's got a new version: Earl Mindell's New Vitamin Bible (Mass Market Paperback, 2011)

I read Adelle Davis' study of supplements, Let's Get Well: A Practical Guide to Renewed Health Through Nutrition, in the early 70s and wow, what a great help it has been. It's also revised, and she wrote several other great guides to fitness and nutritution.

It could affect rheumatoid arthritis, but not likely osteo. Which do you have?

I've never actually got an official diagnosis on that. I think it is rheumatoid - the joints at the wrists and the big toes are swollen. The wrists don't hurt, but the ones at the big toes are painful if too much pressure on them. I have to wear oversized shoes to relive some discomfort. Recently, the joints on my fingers are now starting to ache.

I'm 67, and I was on the carbamazepine for 20 years, which is suspected to destroy vitamin D. It is not clear when searching this issue about the drug interacting with the vit D, or lack of vitamin D would lead to arthritis.
