It's good for business they aren't daft.

Much like your American company that has put their test up by $10.00 'but they aren't making a profit'? Just how deluded are you? You think this company has been subsiding the tests by $10 for years out the goodness of their hearts? And then you have the cheek to patronisingly say to folk to pay the difference if they are locked into a 5 year @ $30 'if they can afford it'.

No profit making there at all eh? btw, these are rhetorical questions...

don't forget cancer and autism and that it removes the need for any immunizations

Vitamin D and Cancer Prevention

The Link Between Autism and Low Levels of Vitamin D

Sunshine vitamin diminishes risk of colds, flu

You forgot diabetes
Vitamin D and Diabetes-Can We Prevent it?

When and only when you present evidence that any of the above is wrong will I take any notice of you.

Grassrootshealth isn't a company but a charity.
they have not been in existence for years.

I think if you watch the
Carole Baggerly you will understand why she is so passionate about doing something positive to reduce cancer incidence.

this is a text I got from her regarding the price rise.

For sure, it was posted for a while...everyone who signed up for a 1 or
5 year subscription at $30 will be charged $30. It's the 'new' ones
that will be $40. We are still just covering our costs (i.e., not
making anything on the test). At $30, we were subsidizing each test at
$10 and just couldn't keep doing that.
I think it's still the least expensive test on the market...
Thanks for asking.

I do believe what she is saying.

This thread is called "Vitamins/Supplements for a vegetarian". I understand you may be passionate about eating meat but that was not the question asked. May I respectfully ask that if you want to discuss this subject you start your own thread.

As to suppliments.....
I take an Iron suppliment (as I was anemic when a meat eater so carry on now i'm veggie). You will need to take it with vitamin C -I usually have some orange juice. Mmmmm.

In my first post to this thread I explained the vitamins, I thought were missing from vegetarian diets. My later posts were fair comment replies on the value of Vitamin d to provide evidence in response to the unsupported suggestions that I may be wrong.

It is Loopy Girl, melancholly, and Fat Fairy, who took the thread off course by making claims they cannot substantiate.

I back up everything I write with the source of my claim. If you and they, can't face the truth that's your/their problem, not mine.

I could find enough links from doctors, nutritionists, and other vegetarians to fill several threads but to me its commone sense. I have never heard mothers/teachers or even the government encouraging us to eat our '5 a day' of carcass meat or cholestorol packed dairy and eggs :rolleyes:.

Anecdotal i know, but Donald Watson, founder of the Vegan Society, lived into his 90s and was fit and active pretty much right to the end - he was vegan for 60 years, and vegetarian for 20 years prior to that. Amazing how he managed with that huge lack of vitamin D, eh?

That precisely why you need to know the truth.

I have reported the post from Ted_Hutchinson for Abuse as I find the tone of his comments on this thread and others neither constructive nor friendly. I believe this is tantamount to bullying.
I hope we can now carry on this thread the way it was supposed to be with constructive advice.

I can say from my own real experience that taking vitamin D in effective doses has changed my life for the better. I use the sun when I can but that's not always possible - English weather, working full time, English weather

I truly believe that whatever your diet of choice you need more vit D.

My circulation has improved dramatically, I rarely get colds or sniffles - and I used to get a lot. When I'm out in the sun I don't burn like I used to (pale and interesting anglo saxon) and now get a great tan at the least provocation

Imagine my glee!

I have to echo the B vits thing, you need to eat meat to get enough otherwise.

Good luck in your change of diet. I hope you enjoy it and get what you want from giving up meat. We are all different. My Bro is a veggie and is happy to take D3 as he gave it a go and is seeing the benefits.

Be happy hunni! Eating isn't everything although it's what makes us us Happiness is likely the most important thing. Could be run over by a bus tomorrow
