LOL! Yogurt is good as it contains a lot of vitamin K

Posted By: Jan on 2009-03-09
In Reply to: Thanks, that's interesting - LinK

it helps with blood clotting.

If people have not enough blood platelets, then they suffer from

Thrombocytopenia.

No bashing, please.

I am only a humble MT who learned a lot through atudying and MTing.
Thanks!

I had heard Vitamin D was a good source for bones,
of course and being as I along with others on here do not get out as much as we should sometimes, had heard maybe I should take. I have pain in my ribs (checked for other things and scans, x-rays turned out ok) so started this morning with 4000 units. Anyone else take and if so what dosage? My ribs were hurting before I got out of bed and since seem to be feeling some better.
I have heard L-Lynsine (vitamin) is good to take. Supposedly it decreases sm
the time of outbreak, but also minimizes you from future outbreaks if you add it to your daily vitamin regimen.
ah forgot about the yogurt !
I read somewhere that puppies sometimes don't have enough of some enzyme in their digestive tracts to ward off certain bacteria and you are right, yogurt will build that bacteria back up and help the body naturally fight off certain bacterias. Great advice.
Eat yogurt daily, helped me....nm

Dannon's Activia yogurt (sm)
Takes a while to work, I think Dannon claims 2 weeks, but I think it does help.
When he has a bloody nose, let him eat yogurt...
unless you gave him the 'bloddy nose'!

Haha!

NO BASHING, PLEASE !
Why do things like granola bars, yogurt cups, - sm
candy bars, jello & pudding cups, etc. keep getting smaller and smaller? And the amount of cereal in a box is less and less. Yet the packaging stays the same size?

Do they think we don't notice?
My son loves fruit juice with vanilla yogurt mixed in, over ice.

Smoothies! With or without yogurt, froz. or fresh fruit, flax

I switch between soy saugage on whole wheat english muffin and yogurt or
fresh fruit with yogurt and Bare Naked granola. Coffee of course.
Sprinkle on cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, put in fruit salad nm

Vitamin B6
I was told helps with PMS symptoms, but I don't know about St. John's wort.  Look at the ingredients, is it a combo?
My GYN said to take vitamin B6.
But, I suffered so bad with this along with heavy cycles (14 days on) that I finally had a hysterectomy (left with cervix and ovaries).  The back pain was horrendous as well during these times.  Finally, after 8 years (I'll be 38 in a few months), I have found relief from the horrible PMS.  I'd go from crying to screaming to loving to hating to pitiful to in bed to not wanting to go to bed...  Are you getting the picture?  These emotions lasted 2 weeks and then was "on" for 2 weeks and I never had relief, never until I had the hysterectomy.  I felt like a million bucks 2 hours postop - no lie!  I was home within 24 hours (pleaded with GYN to just let me go home) and I have a new woman since.  I doubt they'll do a hysto though just for PMS, but like I said I've been there and the only thing she recommended was vitamin B6 and Yoga.  Definitely see a doctor though....
vitamin B complex (nm)
nm
I take Biotin which is a B vitamin.
.
Vitamin K does exactly the contrary, it
COUNTERACTS the blood thinning.

So, people whose blood has become too thin by possible overdosing on blood thinners, SHOULD eat foods containing a lot of vitamin K.
They should especially eat yoghurt which contains a lot of vitamin K.

Aspirin is a strong blood thinner due to containing salicylates.

There are also a lot of foods that contain salicylates and people who take prescription blood thinners, like Coumadin, Heparin, Plavix etc... should avoid those.

You can Google foods that act as blood thinners, opposite foods that contain a lot of vitamin K.

They have the opposite effect.

I think green vegatables also contain vitamin K and will help stop excessive bleeding.

NO BASHING, please!




Vitamin D question

I don't get outside much these days and wonder if anyone knows if you can get vitamin D from sun coming through the window?


My mom has osteoporosis, so I figure I better do what I can!


Thanks.


You can take a Vitamin D supplement. nm

Vitamin D is very important

A lack of vitamin D is the cause of ricketts.  It doesn't happen that often in the US any more because of all of the fortified foods we get, but if you don't go outside much at all, it can be a real concern.  There was a story about a hugely obese man - like 900 pounds obese - who had horrible pain and it turned out to be a lack of vitamin D.  THe only way your body can metabolize vitamin D is by exposure to sunlight. 


Doctors always want to make sure that women who are older or at risk for osteoporosis take Calcium and Vitamin D.  The Vitamin D helps the body metabolize the calcium. 


You should probably take a calcium supplement as well, if you aren't already.


Hope your rib pain goes away!


 


Vitamin D deficiency?

Anyone ever been diagnosed with this?


My rheumatologist's office called this morning to tell me that my blood tests showed a deficiency. My doctor is going to call this afternoon to discuss it with me. Apparently, it's not so uncommon in regions that lack sunshine?


Which vitamin for hair and nails?
Is it vitamin D? My hair will only get to a certain length and seems like it stops growing. Any ideas on something to help it grow more?
Vitamin Water XXX flavor and
I go through about a pitcher a day of green tea that I make with raw sugar and honey.  And, of course, Welch's -- it is so good for you.
Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter with vitamin E.
I had a similar problem and this worked for me.  My husband even uses it and likes it.  I like the unscented type.  Good Luck!
I read that a lack of vitamin D and boron can

cause psoriasis.  The article said that a lot of vegetarians don't get psoriasis because they have a diet high in boron which helps with the conversion of vitamin D.  It is because vegetarians eat food high in boron and vitamin D, i.e., veggies, fruit, etc, and the soild the veggies are grown in is high in these nutrients.


There was a post on here about helping psoriasis so I thought I would throw that in!  Hope it helps.


Sorry, I meant ..'There are creams which contain vitamin K.'..sm
And, BTW, vitamin C and calcium are very good for preventing wrinkles.
Cranberry juice may work better than vitamin....

Is this the Vitamin Water that Coca Cola bought?
I had one for the first time today, fruit punch. Good stuff :)
The intake of vitamin K helps against spider veins. ..... sm
But be careful, do not take too much, only from food sources, yoghurt is a very good source of vitamin K.
There are creams which contain vitamin C.

If you want to take supplemental vitamin K in tablet form, first check with your doctor regarding the dosage.

I had some spider veins in my face, but those disappeared when I started to put vaseline in my face.
A lot of gastric bypass patients have vitamin D deficiency
also iron, calcium, and B12. But I have known other people who also had a D deficiency.
Might try valerian root capsules or 5HTP or melatonin, in vitamin section

Good Fences make good neighbors
You can get premade cedar fencing that comes in sections. You dig a post hole at the appropriate distance and fill with a bag of quick-crete. Alternatively, you could buy a used fence from a place that hauls away.

You could also get an electric fence, just hook to a battery and run the cord (for retraining purposes) it would not hurt your dogs.

I feel your pain. Roll up your sleeves and pray for some digging weather!
Hey hon, you can have one. There are tons of good ones out there looking for a good woman. They ain&
doorstep. Seek and you shall find. So, if you 'really' wanted one, me thinks you would have one...
All good points, good post. (nm)

Here's a good one.....
She is sexually inactive since being widowed by choice.
Good for you!

Good for you

Sounds like she has a good home.  It just may take her time and I am sure professional help will help.   We need to learn not to let them train us.  I have two cats and my dog and I am sure I spoil them according to most people but right now they are my family.   I am sure Tasha will not be around much longer and don't think I will replace her for a while.  Would be nice to be able to come and go for a while and not worry about someone taking care of the dog.  Also it is a little more work training a puppy down here on the water in a floating home.   So it will be me and my cats for a while.   I am also not sure I have the energy for a puppy.  But it sounds like you have sure provided a good home for Miss Lilly.

good for you--sm
Puppies have a way of healing our hearts! We won't forget, but they fill that empty gap..for the other remaining pets, as well. They get lonesome too after having had a companion for a period of time. Just give them time to become friends. I am happy for you!
as an IC you need to get a GOOD CPA....

I truly do not think you can do this yourself, unless you are so business-books acclimated and always on top of things.....


I've been an IC for 10 years and an MT for nearly 30, and as an IC I always get my things CPA-ready for the CPA (receipts/bills/statements, and I write everything down once I get the receipts/bills in good order in the late winter/early spring, by March, and so I go to him with all the categories and the figures and not the receipts/other garbage).  You get a percentage off for your office, your electric, et cetera.  The CPA's know all the in's and out's of this and are quite helpful and worth every dime, in my mind.  I used to pay quarterly taxes (about $500-750) but now I choose to pay yearly, one lump payment by April 15th and I'm all very legal!!


 Best of luck!  


It looks good!
And shouldn't that be rheumatiz? :-)
Good for you and your Dr..sm
That is great to hear.  Our GYN office was out of the vaccine at the time of our visit, so they must either pushing it hard, or getting a lot of requests for it. I had seriously considered having my daughter get the vaccine, but after I have had a chance to think about it, I'm having second thoughts.  I don't want this generation of teenage girls to be guinea pigs for something that may have harmful effects later on.  And the government making it mandatory?  Let's hope not.
some good, some bad
but don't you want your kids to have a better and easier life?
That's a good one!
