Share topicHey Denel,
I am guessing that you will want to place your post in the "promotions" area of Biztalk, as it seems you are offering your services more so than starting a conversation ....
Cheers.

What's Your Number?.......Vitamin D levels that is!
It's winter, lack of sunshine and you've lived in the Pacific NW for several years now. Do you know how important Vitamin D levels to your overall health? Low levels are associated with fatigue, muscle aches, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, early onset diabetes, etc. For less than $100.00, in my funky and cozy office, I can draw your blood and know within a few days the status of your vitamin D levels. If your levels are low and I'm sure they are, I have the best quality and most absorbed Vitamin D available to medical professionals and will offer specific advice, i.e. how many IU's and how long to supplement until we retest. Drop me a line or call my office 206-767-2455
In Health, Dr. Denel

Posted by Denel Andreas, Seattle, Washington | Jan 14, 2008Thanks for the advice. I'm new at navigating the appropriate areas of the Biznik website. I'll move this post to the promotions area.

Posted by Betsy Talbot, Seattle, Washington | Jan 15, 2008Denel, a great thing to post. I had my annual physical recently and found out my vitamin D level (first time ever tested) was less than 7. Out of an idea of 50+. I haven't started my high-dose vitamin D yet, but I'm hopeful it will give me the boost in health promised. I was surprised to find out how many diseases are related to vitamin D deficiency and have been telling all my friends to get tested.

Thanks for your experience, Betsy. I am finding, from clinical experience, how important testing and follow up testing is to optimal health. Some of my patients, bring me their recent blood work performed elsewhere and their vitamin D levels are extremely low. When I ask them if this was mentioned or if they are doing anything to bring their levels back up they often say no. Also, many times recommendations are still too low to see any significant change and the products used are substandard. Please send anyone my way who hasn't had any recent blood work. I use extensive testing to catch imbalances early that otherwise wouldn't be noticed. Change before symptoms occur, is true preventative medicine.

Yeah, it can take a little time getting oriented to things around here :-) So many options, so many possibilities.

Posted by Kristopher Sookma, Bothell, Washington | Jan 25, 2008Preventative Medicine, if only our system understood the importance of the concept! :)
I'v heard recently that if you take large amounts of vit c you can curb a cold, an amount that you would get taking "Airborne". I wonder if such a claim would be true. It's kinda hard to justify taking any extra vitamin pills. Anyway, we need more people like you to help us all through the tangle of vitamin and nutrient levels that our bodies need.

Posted by Richard Whitaker, Federal Way, Washington | Jan 25, 2008I didn't take care of my health and wound up in the hospital with a blood sugar count of over 400 and a heart rate of 248 for two hours. My advice to those who are putting off preventive medication is to put it off no longer.

Posted by David Krafchick, Seattle, Washington | Jan 25, 2008One of my past doctors put on a daily vitamin-low dose asprin. A couple of years ago I found myself with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I knew that I had tried to lower my food budget and buying more single serve meals - you know the one, ingredients questionable but low cost.
I told my doctor I can fix this and went back to my food habits of many years. Within 6 months everything went back to normal.
I do not know my vitamin D, but I will test for it on my next visit.

Posted by Bridget St John, Federal Way, Washington | Jan 26, 2008This is great information! I didn't know this about Vitamin D. I just checked on my smoothie mix drink to see if vitamin D was in there, but did remember I take the calcium tabs with D in them, so that explains why I have been able to fight off the crud out there right now. There's a brand out called Bolthouse Farms that I use for my morning smoothie. They have a variety of drinks, but this one is a C-Boost and has all kinds of cool vitamins in it. There is no added sugar either. Since we only really have ourselves to maintain our business, etc., it's so important to keep ourselves healthy. Just this last weekend I was fighting off the crud and it got me so tired I didn't want to get on the computer at all. Bad.
