I don't think I've got this all figured out. Calcium, magnesium and D, amongst other things are needed to lower PTH.+1, 6000IU vitamin D and beef liver make me feel great. How else does one keep PTH down? I thought the calcium/VD3/magnesium combo to suppress PTH synthesis was super central to peat’s work. Ref. e.g. GE podcast episode 67, among many many other interviews and writings…?
Vitamin A Blocks The Hypercalcemia From Vitamin D
I mention this effect in another post, but wanted to post the studies as well. Basically, the studies with vitamin D alone have been disappointing and in some cases quite negative. For instance, taking only calcium and vitamin D has shown negative effects on CVD and cancer. While the authors...raypeatforum.com
“When vitamin D or calcium is deficient, or when phosphate is excessive, and in hypoglycemia and stress (Ljunghall, et al., 1984), parathyroid hormone increases. This can lead to softening of bones, and hardening of soft tissues, especially arteries, sometimes brain, skin and other organs. Parathyroid hormone increases blood pressure, even before the calcium stiffening is detected. During the night, parathyroid hormone usually rises (Radjaipour 1986; Logue 1989, 1990; Fraser, 1998), and especially during aging, this causes a significant loss of calcium from the bones. Having a large part of the day's calcium at bedtime reduces the nocturnal rise of PTH and calcium loss from bones (Ohgitani, et al., 1997; Mortis, et al.,1997).” Dr. Peat – Adaptogenic Milk Newsletter
