Vitamin A & D Supplements
I’m not looking for medical advice, just your thoughts. I met with a hepatologist mid January for consultation. I was very impressed with him but I have a problem with one thing. He wanted me to take 10,000 IU Vit A daily & prescription 50,000 IU Vit D weekly. My levels were not checked but Vit D was

Allergy to the sun
I have been diagnosed with solar urticaria and have tried all sunscreena, all combinations of antihistamines and Xolair injections, (which worked for a short time then quit working.) Has anyone tried PUVA (photosensitivity treatments) or low dose naltrexone? All I can do is wear many layers of clothes

How to measure RANK/L and OPG serum levels?
Hi all, I have 2 questions and then I'll explain my story: - Are RANKL and OPG available as blood tests (medical journals show patient testing of serum levels of these but I've struggled to find places that offer them as blood tests)? - Should I be seeing an endocrinologist or geneticist for issues related

Hepatologist Appt 🥰
For those who have been wondering, I finally had my appt yesterday. He isn’t the one I’ve been waiting for. Seemed the other one was taking a little too long. My GI’s NP made a phone call to Dr Mantry, head of Hepatology at Methodist Liver Institute in Dallas. (Methodist denied him seeing me a few months

Does topical retinoic acid effect the thyroid??
I believe that 25 years of daily topical Retin a has had an effect on my ability to convert t4 to active t3 based on my blood work. I do not have an autoimmune disorder. Wondering if it has something to do with retinol binding receptors and thyroid receptors?? Any ideas!????

Vitamin A and the Liver
I came across this and thought some may find it interesting, especially those who are wondering why they follow a good diet, don't drink, and don't have any virus or autoimmune problems. It seems to fall in line with the advice to not take anything, including supplements and, in some cases, certain foods

Vitamin D cofactors
Hi everyone. I'd appreciate any comments on whether it is necessary when using a vitamin D supplement to take supplements magnesium, vitamin K, zinc, boron and vitamin A if I already have a good diet including spinach, carrots, nuts, seeds eggs etc? For example a recent blood test showed magnesium level
