That level was not found to produce a healthy blood level in a large clinical follow up of people treated for vitamin D deficiencies. 10 minutes of sun on your face and arms will produce more than 10,000 iu of vitamin D in your skin. I take 1000 iu/day, and that is closer to the new recommendations. I would say that if you have sun, use it.<BR/>Check out this blog:<BR/>http://nigeepoo.blogspot.com/2008/12/vitamin-d.htmlDr. Art Ayershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122737760078313321.post-69142381366783767852009-01-04T14:59:00.000-07:002009-01-04T14:59:00.000-07:00Thank-you all for the advice. It has been checked and it isn't a leak we are terribly reactive to natural gas. We have alot of gas fireplace but cannot use them for the same reason. There is no smell in the home and the units are outside the house in our storage areas so I don't even think a gas leak would enter our home. But what do I know. I just know that gas heat always affects us. Where ever we are. At least we know what it is. It took along time to realize that was one of the chemicals that affects us adversely. Have a beautiful day.<BR/>AnnaAnna's Spothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03833672780938401092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122737760078313321.post-26516531576893004532009-01-04T10:57:00.000-07:002009-01-04T10:57:00.000-07:00It's so awesome to hear that this year is better than last reaction-wise. I also find that my symptoms are greatly reduced when I stick to my supplement regime. I am terrible at exercising and hope that is something I'll do more this year!Libertyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02615096271313967218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122737760078313321.post-91978631030109080962009-01-04T10:46:00.000-07:002009-01-04T10:46:00.000-07:00I'm wondering if your furnace isn't completely and properly sealed. Maybe a professional could check it out because I'm thinking to fix what you've got would be a lot cheaper than a whole new furnace - but only if it actually needs sealing.<BR/>I can't be around gas fireplaces but can be over at a friend's house who has properly installed gas heat and I have no problem.Mama Lavenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17378878328151595738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122737760078313321.post-5260474485308290532009-01-04T10:33:00.000-07:002009-01-04T10:33:00.000-07:00Hello Anna and Happy New Year!<BR/><BR/>Wow that doesn't sound so good with the natural gas. I take it there is almost a "leak" or the heater is not burning it that efficiently if you are getting such obvious symptoms - unless you are just reaction to the burned gas itself?<BR/><BR/>Either way it does not sound good to have to go through that.<BR/><BR/>As for the tea - well that is an easy one to solve, I only stick to herbal teas (all caffeine free) as I just do not want any caffeine in the body. You know many people especially coffee drinkers "need" it so much but the truth is that above and beyond anything it distorts one's energy levels and I do not want to mess with that as it feels great to have stable energy all day.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow I hope you have a better night's sleep tonight :)Evitahttp://evolvingwellness.comnoreply@blogger.com
