How timely I just got my vitamin D result back yesterday. I'd been taking 1000 units for the last few years for bone strength and possible imune help without testing. Most Canadian's are deficient anyway and it turns out I'm still deficient so I'm bumping it up to 2000. I'd (intentionally) lost and gained and lost and gained weight over the last few years so my doctor could justify a reason for the test otherwise it costs $15.
I can relate to the comments about men's health. It's often portrayed in media that women aren't getting some top secret special health care men are. I'm afraid we all have issues dismissed and men spend less time with doctors and die earlier. We are not getting anything special and a lot of good advice applies to all. The differences are important but it's important to remember how similar we are. I just told my wife next time I break some ribs I may not go to the hospital, lots of fussing that didn't change anything. I did also have a deep wound and broken bone in my hand they helped with...some. So I too can relate to just not wanting to go see doctors.
Are amino acids the same thing as protein? My TPN (4 nights/week) contains amino acids. Am I getting protein from or because of the amino acid ingestion? I hope so. Thank you.
