Is Your Digestive System Making You Sick? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-hy....m_b_313247.html

I randomly ran across this in Google news. This article sums up things I've heard from several different sources over the months, which are the reasons behind me doing a detox program. I find it all fascinating. I certainly don't think his suggestions are a cure for everything, nor do I know that all of what the article says is true, but I know people that have had success getting other health problems under control through the gut. Note the references to the immune system, IBS, autoimmune disorders, eczema, allergies, hormones, etc.

Several of my friend's docs have been testing them for vitamin D deficiency. I've heard the buzz about it for a while, but found this article and it has a LOT of good info. Describes how important Vitamin D is, how your body uses it, and what can happen if you don't have enough, and why you might not have enough. I have a few friends taking Vitamin D supplements to ward off seasonal affective disorder and muscle aches and pains. The interesting thing is that one has been on supplements for a while and her blood levels aren't changing, so her body is failing to absorb it for some reason.

"Vitamin D deficiency may be characterized by muscle pain, weak bones/fractures, low energy and fatigue, lowered immunity, symptoms of depression and mood swings, and sleep irregularities. Women with renal problems or intestinal concerns (such as IBS or Crohn’s disease) may be vitamin D deficient because they can neither absorb nor adequately convert the nutrient."

I learned in my women's health class that estrogen has a HUGE role in retaining vitamin D. So those of us who are taking medications to lower our levels of estrogen are obviously at risk. This is definitely something to think about!

Article about a scientist WITH endo, paired with Padma and a whole host of others. This might turn into something, girls. I got tears in my eyes just reading it.
