“He is wary about the vitamin regimine because he only wants to take exactly what his doctors say are okay for hin to take.”
Understandable but also potentially dangerous, depending on how open his doc is to complementary therapies.
I believe you are absolutely correct. Even in pregnancy, women may develop strong cravings for food items (many of which they don’t even like). I remember eating peanut butter by the spoonful (truth be know, I am not that fond of PB in the regular form). Not to get into anything too personal or “too much information” but many women will crave red meat during certain times as well (I am assuming the iron). I personally know one cousin who eats as little meat as possible but will indulge her cravings for a big, medium rare steak... about once a month. Sometimes the body definitely knows best! (I hope I didn’t completely embarrass you!)
No embarrassment, and there is always the example of wild animals and cattle seeking out salt and mineral licks to obtain the sodium and other minerals they need.
That’s just weird. I spent the summer riding my Harley all over Washington, Idaho, and Montana and look like the Indian I am, and that took care of the vitamin D deficiency. It must take a lot of sun. It’s a conspiracy! They tell us to stay out of the sun so we’ll all get cancer and die. /sarc
Exactly.
In the 20’s and 30’s it was noted that people who had skin cancer rarely (quite a significant difference) suffered from one of the other deeper, much more critical forms, like lung cancer and colon cancer, etc.
read it years ago, don’t have a reference ping... but I didn’t doubt it then and I don’t doubt it now.
