The New Fad Vit D shots...

My first argument is that nobody (except the very few) should get Vit D deficiency when it can easily be produced by the body FREE-from the sun.All it takes from you is to be in the sun for some time.Just value yourself enough to do it.


Now I must excuse those people who have absorption problems and are unable to use the sun to make their VitD-Crohns, Celiac disease, major kidney problem,allergies to milk etc.

So what does one do if diagnosed of low levels of Vit D? Before you jump the gun along with your doc who prescribes Vit D shots to you heres what will HELP
1)Increase your exposure to sun--SUNBATH.Come out of that air-conditioners.
2)Eat more egg-yolks, fish-oils,cheese--vegetarian-yogurt.
3)Continue the above for life-time or at least 1-2 yrs.This is because once the levels of Vit D is low they take time to come to normal-mostly around 6months.This is so even if you take the INJ of Vit D.

No separate time is required for this just do something in your day differently to incorporate this.Also nothing greatly damaging is going to occur with low Vit D for some time(read 6months).Body can cope in normal circumstances.It also takes a long time to develop osteoporosis or fractures etc(many years).Chill !

Whats Not Good about Vit D
1)Taking the shot itself is painful and with discomfort

2)Generally have to take 3-4times

3)Plenty of side-effects and overdose problems

4)The content in the injection is SYNTHETIC calcitriol. CHEMICAL CHEMICAL CHEMICAL

5)The effect of the injection lasts ONLY SIX MONTHS-then your body is again susceptible to low levels of Vit D--so does not solve the problem-temporary.

Who should take Vit D inj if at all
1)People who are bed-ridden and cant get sun-light
2)Suffering from major absorption problems or acute emergencies or children going into rickets
3)Old people who are getting recurrent fractures
