I wish I knew about those drops when I had Covid in January 2021. I lost my taste and smell for a little over three months. The only other symptom my head was a stuffy nose. Was taking the zinc and vitamin D3, but probably not the right amount. By the way, not only are you amusing but you’re very informative. I appreciate you both.
Yes the iodine really seems to help. The loss of taste and smell is so frustrating! We usually take about 20,000 IU’s of D per day when sick along with Vitamin K2. For the zinc we take between 60 and ninety mg per day. We are so glad you think we are entertaining!
Yes it’s tough! Have you ever tried bridging by eating something that replaces the potatoes and carrots? Sometimes you can find a lower sugar alternative to bridge to and then eventually wean yourself off of that food as well. Just a suggestion.
@@teresamealythw I'm Irish we grew up on spuds and a loaf of bread on dinner table we hadn't much 40 odd yrs ago there was nothing wrong with it.. are they poisoning our food
@@Jovonne73It is true that a lot of our foods today are not the same as they were just a few decades ago. Many have been modified to make them hyper palatable. This is accomplished by adding certain ratios of sweet, salty and fatty ingredients. Also many fruits are now engineered to be much sweeter and so contain a higher fructose content. The bottom line is that we should all monitor our metabolic health by measuring things like our homa IR, fasting glucose and insulin, certain lipid markers, GKI, body composition analysis and more. This way we can now for sure if our food choices are healing or damaging us.
@teresamealythw I'm seeing a dietician for T2 diabetes basically she's saying I can't eat nothing..I'm just so confused about the situation of my health at the moment.. 1 person is saying 1 thing another is saying another thing.. every second person has cancer or is having stroke or heart attack it would make you wonder about the foods today 🤔
Hi ! Good question. We were actually discussing this very question with Dr. Eric Berg at the LowCarb San Diego conference. It doesn’t appear that there’s any conclusive evidence to show that Vitamin D toxicity is really a thing. The school of thought is that it’s actually a Vitamin K deficiency that causes the toxicity. In order to prevent this you need to take the K&D together. I personally monitor D levels in my patients and like a level between 60 & 80. That gets other providers excited but I’ve never had a patient with an issue at test level. I also always put my patients who take D on K as well.

Teresa can a vitamin D level be too high? And cause problems? I take D3 and K2 it was high just asking for entertainment purposes.😂😂
