Vitamin D Concerns

  • Question from Melissa: Concerns about vitamin D being toxic and a carcinogen.
    • Vitamin D3 is the form humans naturally get from the sun.
    • Concerns about toxicity are exaggerated; it's about dosage.
    • High doses (10,000 to 100,000 IU) can cause issues like artery hardening due to calcium.
    • Recommended daily intake from sun is about 2,000 to 5,000 IU.
    • Vitamin D needs co-factors: magnesium, calcium, vitamin K2.
    • Vegan vitamin D options are available and tested.
    • Importance of not using single supplements without co-factors.

Poison Ivy Management

  • Question from Rhonda: How to treat poison ivy and eliminate it safely.
    • Natural removal using white vinegar and dish soap for spraying.
    • After death of plant, pull out the vine using gloves.
    • Remedies for exposure include oatmeal baths, bentonite clay, and tea tree oil.
    • Commercial product Tecnu also helps.
    • Recipe for natural spray: 1 cup salt, 1 tsp white vinegar, 1 tbsp dish soap in a gallon of water.

Managing Child Food Allergies

  • Question from Deanna: Managing severe food allergies in a one-year-old.
    • Oral immune therapy recommended over allergy shots.
    • Desensitization approach using at-home lab tests for oral immune therapy.
    • Probiotic use: clean gut probiotic containing E. lari and B. infantis recommended.

H. Pylori and Stomach Acid

  • Question from Julie: Should HCL be avoided with H. pylori?
    • H. pylori can damage stomach lining, leading to ulcers even with normal acid.
    • Avoid additional HCL to prevent ulcer formation.
    • Use of CBO protocol, citral drops, and mastic gum recommended.

Methylene Blue

  • Question from Cassandra: Thoughts on methylene blue.
    • Not used daily; not a foundational supplement.
    • Benefits mitochondria and cognitive function but is not a core supplement.
    • Other products like daily brain support and coffee bean extract are recommended for cognitive enhancement.

Conclusion

  • Encouragement for community involvement and feedback.
