If You Take Vitamin D, Make Sure You Get Enough Magnesium

If you take a vitamin D supplement, you must make sure that you get enough magnesium. Without enough magnesium, vitamin D supplements can lead to calcification of your blood vessels.

Science Daily said:
In addition, Vitamin D supplements can increase a person's calcium and phosphate levels even while they remain Vitamin D deficient. People may suffer from vascular calcification if their magnesium levels aren't high enough to prevent the complication.

So balance is the key.
 
Matthew 6:25 kjv
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

LOL
The real issue sometimes may be: if the magnesium comes from recycled VW air-cooled motor blocks.

I notice that Prevagen originally came from jelly fish. I wonder if used tires and a chemical vat supply it now.

Most times I have better luck with IP224.

And that is I Peter 2:24 (by his stripes you were healed).

I have a number of allergies, but just not being anxious about them seems to be the best treatment. I am talking about serious type reactions in some cases.

I prefer One a Day multi vitamins, men's formula, instead of engine blocks. Each to his own.

I'm not into jellyfish or used tires.

I do like 1 Peter though.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Peter 2:24 KJV

Industrial Health said:
Heat-exposed work can lead to the production of large amounts of sweat, and water-soluble vitamins and minerals can be excreted in the sweat. These excretions affect micronutrient levels in vivo and increase the vitamin and mineral requirements for workers who may be exposed to high temperatures.

Some people who sweat a lot may benefit from extra micro nutrients.
 
Some supplement problems occur when they are used as drugs, e.g. vitamin D is good to prevent cancer, vitamin E for heart disease, calcium for osteoporosis, etc etc. But then people say, well, I have heart disease so I guess lots of vitamin E and not take much of anything else, if anything. Can't be done with nutrition like that. You need all of everything, or as much as is known otherwise an imbalance can occur. If you are going to take vitamins/minerals/other supplements then do it right --- I took a photo of the two dozen pills I take a day and posted it on FB. If one can't commit to that, then it's better to not start. Take a drug instead because most people are not really interested in health. They are interested in feeling good.
 
So is it the D itself that causes the imbalance? It sounds more like the D is expected to come along with calcium, as that's a pretty common packaging. More calcium will indeed react just like a magnesium deficiency, which most of the US suffers from. Magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium all have a balance; so it's not so much the total amount of magnesium in our diet as it is the ratio. Does vitamin D affect this balance of electrolytes?

Psalms 121:6 KJV
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

Vitamin D is made in us in the presence of sunlight. Since the moon reflects sunlight (same light), then judgement can burn.

Do the two lights balance each other? The moon is the light of the New Jerusalem.

While I have some seasonal affective disorder (SAD) the poor attitudes are balanced by the word.

There is some D in milk, but vitamin D supplements are generally taken in pill form. No calcium in the pills, just D. So yes it is the D, if you don't get enough magnesium too for protection. Here is one study on this effect, if you are interested in the science of it.
 
Buffered Chelated Magnesium is very good and best for full absorption of nutrients.

Can anyone take me through the bonding of traditions to needed doctrines, and the stripping of them from the body.

What did I ask?

Do man made doctrines do more damage than good?
Chelation thearapy can work, but in some cases you lose minerals you did not plan to lose.

Some doctrines intended for good, strip needed doctrines in an unexpected manner.

I catch your drift, and if theoretically we ate like the bible says, plus don't have all the modifications in our foods today, we would not really need supplements. Is megadosing then wrong? Well, like everything else man-proceed (as vitamin pills do not grow on trees) is subject to some modification. I personally take that much because I don't trust the doses or the effectiveness of the doses in hopes my body can latch onto something (which is better than nothing). Once the body has what it needs to work properly (in hopes the megadosing does that), it's a wonderful filter for anything else bad. It will tend to stay healthy.

That all said, nutrients themselves are not wrong as mankind just found out the compounds needed for a specific type of nutrition. In the case of chelating, all you are doing is allowing a certain nutrient to hitch hike onto a sugar, a protein or whatever to be more readily absorbed. Whether or not the body is capable is another question, but the situation is better than a raw mineral which the body will have a tendency to expel. If this were not the case, we could all swallow a copper penny and the body would absorb it all and we'd be set for a year. Cholesterol does the same thing. The so-called "bad" cholesterol hitches its ride on a low density lipoprotein. HDL is the high density. When doctors talk about "good" and "bad" cholesterol, there is no such thing. Cholesterol is cholesterol. So what happened is it hopped a bus on the way out to the body and came back home to the liver in a car.

Actually.
The things made by God at creation have built in lessons to be learned.
And
It is not ultimately about vitamins and minerals for the physical body.
But
It is more about what builds the inner man.
The ox preacher thing teaches this, and that is why I bring this up so much.
I literally believe the judgements about food and drink (including amino acid balancing) is but a shadow of things the new covenant deals with.

Some things the Gentiles have are not treasures, but just things. We really have to select what to use ( I do not personally know what is best).

The subject of physical health is a prompt to seek spiritual health. What are the combinations that promote spiritual well being? Faith balanced with discipline? The physical sometimes spurs the understanding of God.

I will probably with this vacate the Health and Nutrition area.

L-lysine is about the only thing I ever take. That being to deal with a very minor shingles problem I had years ago.

Yeah I agree with you here. The physical end of things is just an extension of our place spiritually. Oftentimes people are eager to go to healing services, but.... as long as such a person does not disobey the Lord by placing nothing but junk into their bodies and then wonder why they are sick. A similar parallel can be drawn by finances. People who struggle generally are being disobedient in some way (unless they are being tested). For the most part, once poor always poor even if a person is given money or a good source of income, they will find a way to lose it. So on the surface it seems like they are being given good financial advice to change their habits but ultimately it's a spiritual thing. But praying to be rich and believing and claiming it does not work. The Lord expects us to use proper handling. Same concept with nutrition.
