Yes I eat chickpeas, lentils both green and red , butter beans. Occasionally very well rinsed baked beans. . canned or dried doesn't matter, organic when I can find them.
Too bad this didn't get answered....am curious, would like to see some replies to this question....Should those who take vitamin D supplements also use low vitamin A?
You’re welcome.Wowsers! Just when you think you've gotten to the bottom of the barrel of rabbit holes to explore... I heard mention of this from Matt stones blog like a year ago (have been peating for 18months or so and cannot say I'm getting much better) but never investigated it. I will be exploring this and experimenting for myself
thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences and to @Blossom and @charlie for gathering the stories of others into one thread
Adding A makes it go into storage instead of circulating. Thus temporarily reducing symptoms, but increasing toxic storageAll this talk about vitamin a being toxic makes me worried to supplement vitamin a, I have a dry red rash on my face which I have had for years and have often thought about trying high doses of vitamin a to see if it can fix it because nothing else is working but seeing this makes me hesitant but I have taken 8000iu of vitamin a now and then I sometimes get incredibly itchy face and scalp and I tried vitamin a one time and the itching was gone within hours this has been repeated many times if vitamin a is toxic how comes its the only thing that stops the itching?
What do you mean. No A in legumes or at least very lowexcuse me but aren't you supposed to take/eat Vitamin A with Zinc? this might be why somebody mentioned eating a lot of legumes and recovering
Could that be why eating a piece of liver helps for a couple days and then rebounds with even worse flaky/skin issues?Adding A makes it go into storage instead of circulating. Thus temporarily reducing symptoms, but increasing toxic storage
Yeah, that's the assumed mechanism. It might also be why some feel better from A toxicty when taking E as it, in addition to being an anti-oxidant, (peat mentions it mainly being needful in the precense of pufa) seems to redirect A into the liver temporarily thus decreasing the circulating ACould that be why eating a piece of liver helps for a couple days and then rebounds with even worse flaky/skin issues?
Thanks, I actually noticed the same thing when experimenting with E tooYeah, that's the assumed mechanism.

thats interesting! I had that effect initially but at my highest A it backfired giving me breathing problems.Thanks, I actually noticed the same thing when experimenting with E too
Blood pressure (started at 135/90 and now 110/75)
Thanks! Unfortunately it started slowly creeping up again when I added back eggs and dairy after covid hit. I’ve been back on low ‘a’ strictly since March 7 after weaning down slowly at the first of the year and it once again came down quickly. It was 107/68 today.Oh wow that's amazing, Blossom. That is a huge change.
Hi Blossom,When you really stop and think about things it's apparent that many people have problems with dairy and other foods these days. Most of what is available in the U.S. doesn't even resemble the foods our grandparents consumed. Sure people had issues in the past but I think the 1970's with implementation of fortifying dairy and the increase in the use of glyphosate really took things to a whole new level. Gradually foods that people ate fine for hundreds and even thousands of years are now sadly a problem for lots of people. I don't think people have changed much but our food certainly has.
I'd also like to know, and how are people covering their calcium needs? Supplements? Most abundant available calcium is from dairy, right?Too bad this didn't get answered....am curious, would like to see some replies to this question....
