Vitamin D toxicity
Everyone and their mother knows now that Vitamin D is necessary in large amounts for optimal health. However, Vitamin D, being a fat-soluble vitamin/hormone precursor is very easy to overdose on.
I myself came down with Vitamin D toxicity after 2 severe sunburns while taking cod liver oil, which gave me hypercalcaemia.
The way to counteract Vitamin D toxicity is relatively simple: Vitamin A and Vitamin K2.
Vitamin A and K2 activate what are called osteoclasts that bind calcium to the bone. They also help to move it out of tissue deposits and into where it belongs (such as in the thyroid gland to create thyroid stimulating hormone.)
Hypervitaminosis D can cause calcium to move out of the bones and organs and into the blood and tissues, and even joints, where improper calcification begins.
One of the most well known sites where this occurs is in the pineal gland. It should come as no surprise then that Vitamin K2 was originally called "Pineal Decalcification Factor."
They essentially have opposing actions on the way calcium works, but are actually two sides of the same coin. Think of Vitamin D as putting wheels on the car, and Vitamin K2 as the parking brake. They're both necessary to get calcium where it needs to go.
For a shotgun approach, there's also something called "Wulzen anti-stiffness factor" which moves calcium out of the joints faster than any other arthritis treatment. Certainly faster than MSM, which has very little to do with calcification, contrary to what David Wolfe says.
For the real name of "Wulzen anti-stiffness factor," contact me by email and I'll tell you where to find it.

Brown Rice vs White Rice = Whole vs. Processed
Today the latest health craze is "Whole Foods." It's the name of the store for Christ's sake. But a lot of people don't really understand what exactly it is about whole foods that makes them so important. So to demonstrate this, I'm going to show a comparison of white rice vs. brown rice, and specifically WHY one would contribute to type 2 diabetes, while the other would help in alleviating it.
This is a chart of medium grain white rice after it's been cooked.
This is a chart of medium grain brown rice after it's been cooked.
Notice the stark differences there? Brown rice has nearly quadruple the magnesium and manganese of white rice. It shouldn't be a huge surprise find then that both magnesium and manganese play large roles in blood glucose metabolism.
Yeah, I bet everyone will still say it's just the "fiber," right?
