Thanks For All These Purchases + The Vitamins I Take
I am grateful for all your purchases on Amazon -- even the tiniest grocery item!
I do sometimes get bowled over by the kickbacks I get -- like $47 for the wild 3D TV somebody bought the other day, and the 7-inch Kindle (yet to come up in my accounting; still just in the orders).
Truly appreciate all these purchases. They help support this site by helping fund my life in these days of many newspapers just hanging on.
Here's a link for whatever you want to buy: Search Amazon and credit Amy for your purchases.
Also, a friend called yesterday to ask about what vitamins I take. I get asked this a lot, so I'm going to post them below. (You should get your D level tested after about three months of taking it to see where you are.)
•Bio-Tech - D3-5 5000 IU 250 caps. These are pharmaceutical-grade, recommended by Dr. Michael Eades, and about the size of a grain of rice.•Vitamin K2 MK-7, 100 mcg, 120 Mini Softgels - The Gold Standard 100% Natural Vitamin K2 in Organic Olive Oil and Certified Free of GMOs and Allergens. These put calcium in the right place. Gregg takes them (for heart health) and I take them for bone health.
•Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker (340mg Elemental), 120-Count. (For bone health.)
•Source Naturals Magnesium Malate 1250mg, 360 Tablets. (These correspond with Vitamin D and are needed to increase its effectiveness. Magnesium is also an extremely essential part of our diet that we don't seem to get enough of. Also recommended by Dr. Michael Eades.)
And no, I don't take calcium. As cardiologist Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly, put it on my radio show, taking calcium for bone heath is like trying to build a backyard patio by throwing bags of cement out your back door.
Also, I eat a "ketogenic" (low-carb diet) and eat between one and two cups of kale a day (made in bacon grease), and have probably a tablespoon of very healthy Medium Chain Triglycerides in organic coconut oil daily, which I make in chamomile tea with organic half 'n' half. Sound gross; it's actually great!
The idea of drinking tea with coconut oil, which I've been using successfully to quash a migraine in progress, came via psychiatrist Emily Deans, another practitioner of evidence-based dietary medicine, especially in service of psychological health.
A small gleam of hope on diet, especially about obesity: Sweden has changed government recommendations to something resembling Atkins final stage.
