Vitamin D and heart disease

[bullettheblue]

Journal-Sentinel article about a Milwaukee-area hospital system giving Vitamin D to patients with chest pain.

This comes on the heels of another study that says that aspirin therapy may not be as helpful for diabetics at risk of heart disease as once thought.

I'll have to purge my address book. Here's what I wrote, since you brought the subject up here:

I'm sorry this time of year is so tough for you.

Have you had your blood levels of Vitamin D tested? There's folks who can't process supplements digestively...they make shots for that...

Hang in there!

Thanks! I'll mention it to my doctor when I go to see him in January. He's the one who told me that some people are prescribed 50,000 IUs in extreme cases.

I'm actually doing some better now that I'm getting more sleep.
