The paper claims that the Recommended Daily Allowance advocated by the Institute of Medicine for Vitamin D was incorrectly calculated! In fact, analyzing the data correctly, nearly 9000 IUs per day are required to achieve target levels (600 IU per day is the USA recommended level). I was struck by how closely the 9000 IU figure matched Creator’s “daily doses of 5,000 to 10,000 IU vitamin D3 will rarely be harmful.” What is Creator’s perspective on this “miscalculation” coming to light?”ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Healing Modalities51 views0 answers0 votesA British group reported recently that administration of vitamin D2, which is converted to vitamin D3 by the body, may be disadvantageous. A review of random controlled trials showed that taking vitamin D2 can lead to a decrease in vitamin D3 levels, the more active form generated by sunlight exposure. The research indicates that D2 supplementation may not only be less effective, but can also lead to lower concentrations of D3 in the circulation. [Emily I G Brown, et al. Effect of Vitamin D2 Supplementation on 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Status: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Nutr Rev, 2025 Sep 18:nuaf166.doi: 10.1093/nutrit/nuaf166].

Is this something unique, or is the marketing emphasis on scientific breakthroughs in better understanding the origins and function of stem cells just detailing benefits of broad spectrum nutraceutical coverage that likely occurs with many supplements, singly and in combination?ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Healing Modalities30 views0 answers0 votesWould taking the Primal Force supplement, Focus IQ, be superior as a recommendation for enhancing brain health and cognitive performance, especially focus, concentration, and memory recall as compared to Advanced Memory Formula from Advanced Bionutritionals?ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Healing Modalities32 views0 answers0 votesIs Vibration Therapy using the Power Plate Personal Machine a significant benefit for helping to counter a number of aging-related impairments causing a decline in function, or is it being over-hyped?ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Healing Modalities25 views0 answers0 votesIs Vibration Therapy using the Power Plate Personal Machine of particular value in helping to reverse or prevent problems in the elderly, from cognitive decline, obesity, loss of muscle mass, hypertension, and bone loss, to reducing muscle aches and pains, stiffness, joint pains, and beneficial hormone increases?ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Healing Modalities30 views0 answers0 votesIs the experimental weight-loss drug, Retatrutide, both safe and effective, or is its aggressive, triple-action mechanism going to invite unexpected side effects?

What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Healing Modalities25 views0 answers0 votesTo help probe the issue of viral involvement in cancer, a study was reported in 2018 of a library of gene sequence data on file for a repository of normal and malignant human tissue samples from 3,052 participants across 22 different cancer types. Results showed that five viral families are prevalent in human cancer. These include the Papillomaviridae, Polyomoviridae, Hepadnaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Herpesviridae. Viruses were detected in 7.5 – 98.8% of patients of seven cancers: bladder carcinoma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma, rectum adenocarcinoma, and stomach adenocarcinoma. [Cantalupo PG, Katz JP, Pipas JM. Viral sequences in human cancer. Virology. 2018 Jan 1;513:208-216.] Having found that viral sequences were present in most of the files they analyzed from human tumor databases, the authors pointed out there are two possible explanations: first, a given virus may be present in human tissue because it infects humans, perhaps even contributing to tumorigenesis; and second, the viral detection may be due to an artifact. This seems to ignore additional uncertainties. Such studies showing evidence of a viral presence assume it to be an aggravating factor, a “driver” of malignancy and not necessarily a cause. However, if a low-level, smoldering, virus causes malignant transformation, once that is triggered, it need not continue growing in order for tumors to form and spread, so a low number of virus particles might end up being deadly but disregarded as having an important role if only present in low numbers or below level of detection. Also, there is the limitation that only known viral sequences were searched for, so no novel viruses could even be discovered by this survey.

Is this a significant advantage for supplying needed bioactive variety, or more a kind of marketing ploy? Are all these forms of magnesium important for smooth-working bodily biochemistry, yet cannot be synthesized by the body and thus require supplemental administration?
