    Osteoporosis, Kidney Stones or Morbid Obesity?

    According to Chad GPT, 2 weeks. And according to this 7-10 years! https://americanbonehealth.org/medications-bone-health/why-strontium-is-not-advised-for-bone-health/#:~:text=(Strontium%20may%20remain%20in%20the,as%20the%20mineral%20in%20bone.

    Osteoporosis, Kidney Stones or Morbid Obesity?

    I know this is an old post, but apparently Strontium can "fool" the DEXA machine. Strontium has a larger atomic weight than calcium (38 vs 20), which causes it to attenuate X-rays more strongly than calcium. Hence the readings on the DEXA scan appear artificially inflated with bone density...

    Leg/Foot Cramps at Night

    I used to get them constantly and horribly. I was awoken 2-3 times a night by them. They virtually stopped when I reduced my calcium intake. Could be a coincidence, but the timing was unmistakable.

    Great deal alert... Biotech A-25 for $5.50

    Not oil based. Ok for Ds. But the sale ended a long time ago.

    This is nothing new, is it?

    Nope. Just ordered yesterday. Somehow I feel I'm going for another scam (like Vitamin patches) but we'll see.

    This is nothing new, is it?

    So, I finally found a place that sells 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol, Calcifediol or Calcidiol 25-hydroxy: https://dvelopimmunity.com/ I ordered some and I'll let you all know the results. In the meantime, if anyone has some experience with this, please let us know!

    This is nothing new, is it?

    Yes, I've been reading the posts here and I've tried all of that. I would really like to find this miracle 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol, Calcifediol or Calcidiol 25-hydroxy But I can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet except if it's a livestock supplement. Does ANYONE know how to get this?!

    This is nothing new, is it?

    Thanks Diane and SettleDown, Ok, so the stuff they're talking about is NOT the same as Biotech D-50, etc. So where can we get this stuff? The only thing I see is "Rayaldee" and it's prescription only and for people with kidney disease. Is there some OTC Calcifediol?

    This is nothing new, is it?

    According to this article (and who know who funded it), "25-hydroxyvitamin D3" is the best for people with malabsorption. Is that the same or different than the Biotech and other brands of dry D3 we already take? The names confuse me and I am really struggling to get my D up. I've been...

    Consult on Vitamin D/PTH issue, please.

    My urologist said oxilates tend to stick to calcium citrate, so if you take it at the same time as you eat your spinach and walnut salad you'll prevent some absorption of the oxialtes. Also, I think if you take Urocit (high dosage potassium) it keeps the risk of kidney stones down.

    Consult on Vitamin D/PTH issue, please.

    Is taking that much calcium hard on your kidneys? Do they give you something to prevent kidney stones?

    Surgery Angels still around?

    I don't consider myself a surgery angel because even though I've had the DS for 5 years I still feel my medical knowledge is limited because I don't really have a head for reading research/data/charts, etc., but I do live in the LA area, so if I can be of help in some way, please feel free to PM...

    Consult on Vitamin D/PTH issue, please.

    Thank you. That's great info! I do have PTH/D numbers from pre-surgery. They weren't stellar, but they WERE within range and the D could easily be increased with a prescription of those weekly green D2 softgels. I can only imagine what it might have increased to had I taken the 200,000 a...

    Consult on Vitamin D/PTH issue, please.

    Thank you, Julie. I'm sorry to hear about your issues. They're especially unnerving considering your D and PTH are OK. What is "activated Vit D" and how is it better than the dry D we use?

    Covid Vaccination?

    Got the J&J last week. One and done. No reaction.

    Consult on Vitamin D/PTH issue, please.

    Since getting my DS 5 + years ago I’ve struggled to keep my D up/PTH down. There have been a few times when I got a good lab report (D @ 50 ish, and PTH just below high end of normal), but for the most part I’m lucky to get my D to 40 and PTH slightly above range. I’m 57, male and already have...

    Probiotics a waste on money?

    Did anyone see this report on 60 Minutes? All the scientists, except for the industry-sponsored guy, seem to think probiotics don't do anything. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/probiotics-good-bacteria-60-minutes-2020-06-28/#x What do you all think? They're the most expensive part of my...

    Vitamin A

    Look at these bastard profiteers selling it for $33 a bottle. It's normally $7! https://coolwort.com/products/biotech-pharmacal-a-25-vitamin-a-100-count?variant=26785195458624

    Vitamin A

    Thanks for this. According to your article, "Randomised trials, set up to study prevention of lung cancer, showed that β-carotene actually increased the risk of disease." But we're supposed to take Vit A as retinyl palmitate (like in Biotech A-25) so wouldn't we be safe?
