You've suggested increasing fibre here... and many have said to do so to me personally, as well. I've ingested so much that I've bloated my stomach and damaged my large intestine trying to overcome the typical North American chronic irregularity issue... However, the modern news is finally catching up with what the Inuit and other coastal peoples, even what tribal plains peoples knew, the mounting evidence links nicely with a sterile colon which probiotics remedy almost immediately. Most of the research I've stumbled on has been nicely summarized in the book "Fiber Menace". I would like to know your comments on such an hypothesis since lacto-fermented foods are no longer a part of our diet, and the work of Dr Weston A Price pointed to probiotics via fermented foods some 80 years ago. Works for me; just wondering what the professionals say. Hello and thank you for the terrific summaries on big issues.

By some estimates 3/4 of the population is D-deficient. Don't worry about it. And once you get off the 50,000 IUs i'd encourage you to continue supplementing although probably not at that high a level! I for example, take at least 4000 IUs a day and i'm out here in California playing tennis outdoors every day warmly jb hard to say, but it’s VERY common.

How about individual amino acid supplements, such as carnitine, arginine, taurine, tyrosine, branched chain, etc.? By the way, I'll be 72 this month and haven't been to an M.D. since 1991. I credit that in large part to my drinking 3 to 4 quarts of RO water every day. That's my #1 "supplement". Tom Davis Jonny-

Most professionals would be more concerned about a daily dose of 50,000 IUS of vitamin A than they would about 8-10,000 IUs of vitamin D. IN fact, some studies show that high vitamin A intake can interfere with some of the benefits of vitamin D- that's one reason some people are concerned about cod liver oil as a source of vitamin D- the balance between A and D is too high in favor of A. This is not to take anything away from your experience or suggestions- just to point out that evedryone is different. warmly jb Hi Jade

No to the "tolerance"- they are not drugs, they are the nutrients your body needs to function on a daily basis. "tolerance" is a term you'd use for pharmaceutical drugs. There are some who advise taking one day off a week from vitamins, but i don't think it matters all that much. Most people forget at least one day anyway. And i've never seen any convincing reason why you should take a day off anyway. B vitamins are water soluble and anything you don't use will be excreted. It's POSSIBLE to get too much vitamin D but i have yet to see a case of vitamin D toxicity (except for maybe extreme sun poisoning), and as a practical matter 3/4 of americans don't get enough and getting "too much" seems to be a pretty theoretical concern, certainly at the level of supplementation anyone is likely to be doing (i.e. 1000-8,000 IUs a day). I don't know what would happen if someone took 25,000-100,000 IUS of vitamin D daily (probably nothing) but in point of fact no one is doing that so it's pretty theoretical. warmly jb Hi

I have a few raw foodist in my life and the China study seems to be a strong argument for a raw food lifestyle. I have a great deal of respect for your opinion. Thanks very much...Anne Hi Jonny,
