I had a heavy metals test done on my body and my mercury level, on a scale of 0-15, was two. My doctor said resume eating tuna.
It turns out that the cheap, dark meat tuna is the best for Omega-3 and the lowest in mercury content too.
See my post #22.
Since your last Vitamen D post after reading up some more , I started at 1000 mg /day for 2 weeks and upped it to 2000 Dec 1. I will continue till flu season is over.
I have started feeling really good. Drugged up? Can’t say but thete is an end to lethargy. I walked today for 1/2 hour 2 miles, in bright sunshine with face and arms exposed.
A big bottle of 1,000 mg tablets at Walmart id $4.00+/-m
Glad you’re monitoring it. My doc(whom I don’t consider the highest authority on nutrition by any means) told me sardines were the the best of the best fish, and I tried it for a while, but I couldn’t stand the stuff.
Good for you, bert. Glad to hear it.
Maybe not: Vitamin D2 is as effective as vitamin D3 in maintaining concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D
Plug blam in to a light socket and he glows a pretty pink I hear. Case of the vapors I suppose ...
From what?
Notice people have been getting sicker since we have been told to avoid sun and not drink Whole Vit. D milk?
Just last week, I became desperate to find some relief for my intolerance for fragrances. Found a blip that led to another blip about vitamin D and the studies finding how it's helping people's ability to breathe easier. This correlates with what happened to me this year.
I went through two surgeries for thyroid cancer. A couple days after the second surgery, my blood calcium dropped dangerously low because the para-thyroids that control blood calcium needed time to heal themselves. I was taking over 2.5 grams of calcium a day, and with it at least 1000 I.U. of vitamin D. All summer, I breathed so easily and thought my fragrance problems were gone.
Then the parathyroids recovered, I started taking less calcium (and D) and now that it's winter, getting a lot less sun. Well, the frangrance problem is back as strong as ever.
I started taking more vitamin D last week (as well as more calcium again) and I'll be darn, the fragrance problem is slowly getting better...
“It turns out that the cheap, dark meat tuna is the best for Omega-3 and the lowest in mercury content too.”
Whoda thunk it?
I used to work with an Italian who turned my on to canned tuna packed in olive oil from Italy. Can’t remember the brand name and it’s more expensive than, let’s say StarKist, but it really made my usual tuna packed in water taste so bland. Wish I could remember the name of the brand, but I grab a couple of cans of it at the local supermarket when the craving for good tuna hits me.

I suppose this means that all that sun block will give you a shortened life span.
I discovered tuna packed in oil recently too. I like the Starkist roasted garlic in olive oil. I drain off the excess oil, add some salt and about a teaspoon of Vlasic pickle brine, stir it up, and eat it right out of the can. It is really tasty.
