Please tell where you got the D-3. I really NEED some. My NP practically slapped me for not taking enough D this winter.

Local, grass fed, small farm, variety of meats, advertises on our Progressive Radio Station in Seattle. We've had rib eyes, pork tenderloin and they have the BEST beef bones for Beef Pho ever. Lovely marrow and really fresh. Let me know if you want more info. I bet you could find something like it near Portland. Anne,

I just watched "King Corn" and now have serious misgivings about using grain-fed beef, so I'm going to look for local, grass-fed meat from here on. I love a bit of red meat now and again.

There does appear to be something to the theory. I feel great! By the way, I began taking vitamin D-3 (the natural form) in high doses a couple of months ago and yowsers!

Now I'm not totally sold on Heart Scan Blog's claim that entirely eliminating wheat from the diet is the cure. And I'm not sold on that specifically because I believe there is a kind of basal continuum of similar needs between all humans but, beyond that base point, each of us is a little bit different. Some of us thrive on wheat. Some of us thrive on dairy. But both are practically poison for others of us. Some of us are programmed for diabetes on a modern diet. Some of us are pretty normal but practically impose diabetes on ourselves by living on Totino's Pizza and french fries. Etc. etc. Now all that said, I'm a fan of The Heart Scan Blog because it turned me on to vitamin D-3 and specifically high doses of the natural form of vitamin D-3. Heart Scan Blog links to some pretty compelling and fairly extensive research that our current problems with heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc., are actual a consequence of vitamin D-3 deficiencies. True, vitamin D-3 can be obtained from the sun and a few foods, notably fatty fishes from northern seas (which I find extremely interesting from an evolutionary standpoint, given the lack of sun in northern climes), but degree of skin pigmentation, angle of the sun, even your age can affect how much D-3 you can actually get from the sun. And modern (or post-modern, at this point) people are sorely lacking in it anyway because we spend all our time indoors. You know, I do have a point. :lol: It goes something like this: I'm not sure we know. We have pieces of the puzzle and some things work for some of us, but are disastrous for others of us and trans-fats aren't good for anyone, but olive oil, nuts, avocados (which Translator, they're *not* saturated fats! I got in a panic and checked, and they're some of the healthiest fats around!) and similar appear to be great for everyone ... ::takes deep breath:: ... and buffalo rump roast is lean meat with virtually no fat on it. Gad, I better shut up and get back to watching the science show on boa constrictors. :lol: One of my favorite new sites is The Heart Scan Blog, which is hosted by a cardiologist and proposes some fairly radical things.
