‘Research’ today:
Someone mentioning olive leaf extract, recommended by Eric Berg brought me on to a very amateur youtuber Melissa Schworer, who recommends Morley Robbins, who says don’t take isolated vitamin D3 supplements.
Also don’t take iron, zinc, molybdenum, multivitamins, synthetic ascorbic acid, fluoride, silver, processed foods, instead bioavailable retinol (best retinol), bioavailable copper, wholefood vitamin C and E, cod liver oil, organic wholefoods, Magnesium Malate & glycinate & topical, Cod liver oil with breakfast, natural B vitamins, silica, boron, taurine, iodine, go out into the sun more (quick overview see organicbiomama).
For vitamin D rationale see meyersdetox transcript: he thinks in isolated overdosed form it sets off vitamin A, calcium, potassium, etc. Doesn’t mean vitamin D is all wrong, just exaggerated. However in my case all the symptoms he sees as related are 100% in check or even the opposite: heart calcification, arrhythmias, anxiety, seizures, constipation… He appears a “nice guy” to me, whilst not a doctor, but I am taking him seriously, because I have experienced taking copper (on a hunch) has visibly reduced iron deposits in my calves and he has the only explanation for this I’ve found.
What I’m sure about is don’t take D2, only D3.
