BBD Product Recommendations -Food(US)

| I recently discovered a line of delicious salad dressings here in the US. (Well, I can get them in Washington State, anyway.) The brand is Annie's Naturals. The ingredients are ok in most of them, but check the labels. I particularly like the Raspberry and the Shitake Mushroom versions. The Ginger flavor was my favorite, but then I discovered it contains soy sauce, so only try that one at your own risk. They are even available in most regular grocery stores. I'm finding more and more organic items in grocery stores lately, which is great. - Carol |

| Brian, - I am told this drug has minimal side effects and can be prescribed off label. A contact with PPMS is having some success with 3 mg of inosine ( to raise uric acid level) as well as those other supplements I sent awhile back (no flush niacin etc) -Ashton |

Problems with 25(OH)D Testing Procedures
|
|
| This report, which Ashton describes as "a disturbing article on the vagaries of commercial 25D tests," is hardly good news for a group who set so much store by regular testing of vitamin D levels. Perhaps, in retrospect, given the wealth of supportive evidence now available, the "2000iu summer and 4000iu winter" is a more sensible approach. |
