Found this study on vitamin D - I'm now taking 1000ius a day, and 20,000ius of vitamin A from halibut oil - and feel great on it! My gf has just tried it too, and her brain lit up, then we had an in depth discussion about politics - we've never done that before, our brians have been too fogged!

Hi Ray,
Someone else posted an article about the benefits of Vitamin D recently. Seems kind of amazing. Where do you get Vitamin A from halibut oil? How do you know which or if both are responsible for the clearing of your brain fog?
Intense political discussions can be dangerous. Are you sure that's a good result? :-)

Ray,
I got all excited here and now I can't open the article. Can you give me just a few highlights? I have become very interested in vit D after what I have been reading here. Thanks - and keep us posted as to how you continue to do on it.

How do you know which or if both are responsible for the clearing of your brain fog?I've tried calcitriol before but got a splitting headache - when combined with fish oil derived vit a, i didn't get a headache - from reading some articles, they say that if our vit d is low, parathyroid hormone rises to break down bone, to keep calcium levels up. When we take vitamin D, calcium absorption is increased, but with the parathyroid still high, we get too much calcium in our brain, and a headache. Vitamin A (from fish because autoimmunity seems to linked with the inability to activate vitamin A - I get mine from metabolics in the UK, but I think it's made by pure encapsulations in the US)....so vitamin A!, it inhibits the parathyroid so less calcium is broken down from bone. vitamin D allows absorption of calcium from the gut and saves bone - the two need to work together, too much or too little of one or the other causes calcium metabolism problems.

Hi Simus,still doing well on the vitamin d/a combination, but been looking at creatine for brain energy too - it's claimed that 70% of all the methylation in the body is required creatine synthesis. I've always felt better on B12, folate or betaine - perhaps that's why?
It took about 3 or four minutes for the Vit d article to download for me - if it still doesn't download, I'll see if it's listed as a normal web page.
