		<description>Last year we saw an ad for discounted Blood Tests from the Life Extension Foundation co.
The tests go on sale around April or May ?
They offer a whole bunch of tests your doctor just doesn&#039;t do.Along with a free trial membership.
Our results showed that both the wife and I were low in our respective hormones.
No doctor would&#039;ve routinely checked those, as we are asymtomatic.
We&#039;ve since been going to a Compound Pharmacy.
It was a little difficult finding a local doctor to work with us.
We had to go out of my health plans network and pay for it out of pocket. 
They want to sell statins not health.

Anyway, I&#039;ve read on Mercola&#039;s site that anything below 150 on Total Cholesterol can be unhealthy.
Give it a search.</description>

		<description>Just a note about D2. Some people get muscle cramps/charly horse type of cramps, with D2. This is one of the reasons they switched to D3 in dairy products. It always surprises me that many sport bars have D2, in light of the possibility of muscle cramps.

Happy New Year! Thanks for your continued support.

		<description>KEVIN,

THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS. THEY ARE VERY INFORMATIVE. REGARDING VITAMIN D AND THE FACT THAT QUEST HAS (AT LEAST IN THE PAST) HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR LEVELS BEING HIGH, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU JOIN THE D-ACTION AT 
http://www.grassrootshealth.net/ FOR A SMALL FEE YOU CAN DRAW YOUR OWN TEST AND SEND IT IN. ON THE WEBSITE IS ALSO A GRAPH OF DISEASE PREVENTION:
Disease Incidence Prevention by Serum 25(OH)D Level

I AM A PEDIATRICIAN AND I AM CONVINCED THAT THE LEVELS REQUIRED FOR GOOD HEALTH AND DISEASE PREVENTION ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN WHAT THE LABS LIST AS NORMAL RANGES. BIG PHARMA HAS A LOT OF REASONS FOR HOPING WE ALL DON&#039;T PAY ATTENTION.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m wondering what everyone who says Kevin and Annmarie&#039;s cholesterol levels are too low expects them to do about it?  It&#039;s such an odd thing to say to somebody who is eating as healthy as they are.  Should they start hitting McDonalds to get that cholesterol back up?  

My husband and I have LOW cholesterol, LOW triglycerides, and an optimal ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol.  This is by eating a mostly-to-all raw diet, and after being vegan for 9 years.  It&#039;s not like we are TRYING to lower our cholesterol, it&#039;s a side-effect of eating the optimal-for-us diet (which we do MOST of the time, but not all).  I just imagine that our levels of cholesterol will continuously sort themselves out as long as we keep eating intuitively.</description>

		<description>There are good liquid vitamin D supplements availble for the winter time.   

  The high cholesterol issue is a big hoax since the last time the levels were redone, 8 of the 9 so-called experts on the committee that made this decision about cholesterol levels for the government were on the payroll of the pharmaceutical companies.  The companies making statins for high cholesteral made several more billion dollars a year by having the standards lowered so more people would take more statin drugs for cholesteral.  
   Liptor makes about 9 billion dollars a year and is the best selling drug ever.  The statin drug industry is a 25 billion dollar a year industry.  
   Getting your cholesterol to low is actually dangerous, especially for the elderly or people with neurological diseases.  So don&#039;t worry about your high cholesterol, unless its super high. 
   Peace and God bless.

		<description>Wow thanks for sharing, this really makes me want to get my blood tested. Everyone can benefit!

But after reading a lot about the myths behind cholesterol and heart disease, the lipid hypothesis, I am on the side of those who think higher cholesterol levels are protective of the heart. Also, the only bad kind of cholesterol is VLDL, which no one commented on yet, but there are 7 subtypes of LDL, the VLDL(very low density lipoproteins), being raised from excessive refined carbohydrate comsumption, and more easily oxidized and mobile because of their small size. I got this from &quot;Good Calories Bad Calories,&quot; by Gary Taubes. I think it&#039;s very important to know this because LDL cholesterol isn&#039;t bad and doesn&#039;t contribute to heart disease, it merely transports cholesterol to the tissues, HDL transports cholesterol to the liver, or the other way around, do not remember.
Furthermore, on the Vitamin D issue, Dr. Mercola, whom I confide much trust in, recommends getting D levels between 40-60. Since it is actually a steroid hormone, the more the better, more testosterone for men, better gains in the gym, better weight loss/metabolism. And my question was, I know you are fond of bee pollen, especially Kevin you seem to talk about it sometimes. Was that a regular part of your diet before getting this test? Because I know bee pollen can contain vitamin D... so I would be slightly dissapointed if the D from bee pollen didn&#039;t help your levels.</description>
