On Health

From the American Amazon shop:





Look at the dose. 50,000 I.E.


Indeed, in the US, Netherlands, the UK, Vitamine D is freely sold at doses of up to 50,000 I.E. per pill. No prescription needed. To my knowledge, problems and scandals have not been reported with using such doses. As I said, however, I think taking higher doses than 20,000 per day only creates expensive urine, the body apparently is made tometabolize 20,000 per day - but not more. Beyond that level, a negative feedback loop gets activated that reduces Vitamine D production in the skin dramatically - and kills equal ammounts of Vitmaine D in existing fatcell reserves. As I see it you have no benefits from taking more than 20,000 per day (if you have no health conditions needing severla hundred thosuand units to actually get at least a small benefit from taking Vit-D.
This is a Swiss doctor specialising in Vitamine D high dose therapy in clinical contexts, I know a bit about him in a different context as well, I trust him. Its in German, sorry. Maybe subtitles and auto-translation does the job, I have not checked it.



The highest dose i can find at German amazon, is 20,000. I have a remaining stock of these, from my flooding phase last year. Will consume them over the next winter.

On WHEAT (ATI sensitivity, gluten & hidden general food allergy, cealiac desease etc.):


You may have noticed over the past couple of years that this issue has won increasing attention both in the public as well as in the medical community. In Germany, up to 30% of the population claim or is being - mostly wrongly - diagnosed with gluten intolerance. In fact, just 1% of the population actually has this problem.



Gluten-intolerance probably does not even exist as an independent desaease, but is a comftoable alibi diagnosis to hide that one doe snot really know what goes on. More likely is that it is an ndication for a general food allergy, or should be seen as singled-oput smyptom of ATI intolerance. Which is something different that coeliac desease again.


The author of the book I link to, is a global leading expert on these issues, Prof. Detlef Schuppan, he runs specialised on the topic ambulances in Mainz, Germany, and Harvard, USA, maintains scientific research projects in both locations, and teaches at both unversities, in Mainz, and at the Medical School Harvard. The book is slim, but demanding a bit, released by an established academic publisher, Springer Verlag. It goes a bit deeper into the medical and and biochemical, molecular basics, I found it quite demanding, and red it twice, therefore. On the other hand this is the only really profound book on the topic of wheat and according food allergies and ATI intolerance that nevertheless also is accessible for the common public, while still being very profound. There are many "en vogue" books on wheat, and many of them are quite populistic, lurid. This is the one book I recommend. And it is written by a leading expert with reputation beyond doubt and decades of experience, so what else to ask for.

As a - shallow - introduction, this text from a customer newsletter relased by the German pharmacies. I have not read beyond the above book on this topic, and so do not want to post too much commenting here by myself, i leave it to this "flyer". Being shallow it neverthless is not wrong. And is on the author of the above book.

My personal consequences:
since I have lowered simple carb consumption anyway, of course I also had to slash down carbs from pasta, potatoes and cereals, grain, wheat, and so I eat far less bread, and on many days not at all. However, I like and love the taste of fresh bread (and pasta), and completely banning them would kill my compliance in record time. Sometimes a 70% effort gets you much farther than a 100% effort.



A trick that seems to work well for me is to no longer use potatoes and noodles as part of an ordinary lunch, but only when these are the main dish: either spaghetti, or boiled potatoes with butter and salt and a herring. That way you eat them once in a while and then even a bit more, but you do that only rarely (or how often in a week do you have pasta and boiled potatoes? I have pasta maybe every tend ays or so, and bopiled potatoes not more than once a month) That way I nevertheless consume much less of both, but still can enjoy them from time to time.

On SUGAR, METABOLIC SYNDROME, CANCER


And there is scientific and legal causation in these. Thats why currently lawsuits against food companies run well and successfully.

I say: corn syrup, and worse: HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) should be rated as a national health hazard, and be banned from sale and production. Its a much more prominent killer than any of the criminalised drugs like cocaine or meth or heroine.

The worst sugar-sweetener you could use, is fructose.



Insuline leads to insuline resistence leads to metabolic syndrome leads to fattness leads to cancer (and many other illnesses).

Wanna live healthier? Eat stuff and eat in intervals that keep your insuline down. Plain logic. Insuline spikes at lower frequency, and - not as relevant - lower amplitudes. But the frequency - how often we eat over the day - that is the key.

Dont eat all the time, all day long. Once a day, connected to social circumstances, is enough! You have one hour of enjoying a meal with family or friends, and then 23 hours for your insuline normalising again (2-5 hours) and fat being burned (the longer the more). Man has lived with such conditions for millenia and millenia - and still is here! While obesity is a relatively new symptom in our evolution, measured in a small number of decades only. And it kills in scores.

To know about all these things and others, regarding your food, and your doctors, and the way the food industry interferes with and finances health paradigms - this is the modern incarnation of the very old pricniple of surivval of the fittest. Remember: the industry does not want you to live healthy and eat less and rarely. Because you then do not buy their stuff.

Get fit. Learn, take your health's fate in your own hands. Do not blindly trust your doctors and the institutions, nor your family's habits and traditions. Question them.
