Can you get "too much" vitamin D in the summer?
Dear Reader,

Dr. Micozzi's Insiders' Health Summer is upon us. So it's a little easier to get the healthy sun exposure needed to activate vitamin D in your body. In fact, you may wonder--should I still take my vitamin D supplement during the summer? Will this give me "too much" vitamin D?

Those are good questions. Unfortunately, many so-called experts get the answers wrong.

To clear up the issue, I want to share with you an important study recently published in the Journal of Adolescent Health. It helps explain whether you can get too much of a good thing, when it comes to vitamin D. I'll tell you all about that groundbreaking study in a moment. But first, let's back up.

Vitamin D appears to benefit virtually every part of your body. And it seems to help protect you against nearly every chronic disease.

Plus, now we are learning more and more about how vitamin D works.

And as I've said before, this is very important to research scientists. And to the scientific world, in general. We don't just want to know that something does work. We want to know how it works. In scientific terms, this means we understand a vitamin's "mechanism of action" in the body.

I learned more about vitamin D's "mechanism of action" in the body a few years ago from my colleague Dr. Michael Holick of Boston University. In 2006, I presented the keynote speech at the annual Johns Hopkins conference on natural and nutritional medicine. Dr. Holick followed my speech with another talk on vitamin D. He explained that it really acts as a hormone in the body, in addition to being an essential nutrient.

Dr. Holick says we face a global epidemic of vitamin D deficiency. And government guidelines do nothing to curb the problem. In fact, the government recommends men and women take just 600 IU of vitamin D daily. This recommendation stems, in part, over fears that you might "overdose" on vitamin D if you take "too much."

This old, overdosing myth persists regarding the dangers of all vitamins and minerals, but especially for fat-soluble vitamins like A and D. (The one nutrient that we should be worried about is iron. Yet most doctors and government "experts" like the CDC continue to push this supplement, despite the dangers.)

But is concern about vitamin D based on actual science?

Hit the head before bed,
and sleep soundly until morning!
All with a new low price!
No matter what your worry--starting without hesitation, keeping your stream strong, finishing fully every time or maintaining complete control and comfort.

With this REVOLUTIONARY SECRET you can help improve your quality of life--with fewer trips to the bathroom--day and night. And less uncomfortable urges to go!

Don't wait another day to see how this discovery can change your life.

Start receiving your own copy of the Daily Dispatch. Or forward this e-mail to a friend.
Yes, vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. And that means you can store some of it in your tissues. But can you really accumulate too much vitamin D in your tissues, as some experts warn?

Clinically, this fear just doesn't bear fruit. It is exceedingly rare to find vitamin A or D overdoses. And you certainly don't see them when moderate doses of the vitamins are taken.

The new study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health helps underscore this practical observation.

For the study, U.S. researchers wanted to see whether healthy adolescents--with sufficient serum vitamin D levels already--would "overdose" when given a vitamin D supplement.

The researchers recruited 56 healthy adolescents, ages 11 to 19 years. And at the outset, they measured all the participants' blood levels. None of the participants was deficient in vitamin D.

Then, the researchers randomly divided the adolescents into two groups. The two groups were matched in terms of age, race, gender, body mass, and dietary calcium and vitamin D intake.

The first group took 200 IU of vitamin D for 11 weeks. The other group took 1,000 IU of vitamin D each day for 11 weeks. (The government-recommend amount for this age group is 600 IU per day.)

At the start of the study, the 200 IU group had blood levels of vitamin D of 28.1 ng/mL. After 11 weeks, their blood levels rose to 28.9 ng/mL on average. The group that took 1,000 IU of vitamin D per day had blood levels of 29.0 ng/mL at the start of the study. After 11 weeks, that group raised blood levels to 30.1 ng/mL.

As you can see, the average change in vitamin D levels did not differ significantly between the two groups.

In addition, the groups did not differ significantly in measurements of bone turnover, calcium, glucose, insulin, or parathyroid hormone (which mobilizes calcium from bone).

So what can we conclude from this study?

When vitamin D levels are adequate (not deficient) to begin with, supplementation will not raise blood serum to higher levels. And certainly not to dangerous levels.

Obviously, this study followed vitamin D use in healthy adolescents. But I suspect further research will uncover the same results in healthy adults.

These results suggest that supplementing with 1,000 IU per day will not affect those who do not need it. But it will likely make a world of difference in those who do.

Previous studies strongly suggest that taking vitamin D can help treat or prevent many medical conditions. Those studies also suggest that 1,000 IU per day is beneficial. And it can help restore blood vitamin D levels in those who are deficient.

Given the growing importance of vitamin D, universal supplementation of 1,000 IU per day, even during the summer, appears safe for everyone. It can't hurt those who don't need it. And it will likely help those who do.

Always on the side of science,

Marc S. Micozzi, M.D., Ph.D.

Poof! 20 million cancer cells--GONE
Wake Forest University researchers simply called him "Mighty Mouse."

Imagine, after being injected with 20 million of the most vicious cancer cells on earth, this tiny creature never showed a single sign of the disease.

There wasn't a single trace of cancer in the mouse.

Buried deep in its genes was a stunning natural ability to outsmart cancer. Not only that, but all of Mighty Mouse's offspring had this unbelievable power as well.

And now, as you're about to see, one world-renowned M.D. has discovered a way you can do it too. This is the most promising cancer breakthrough in the past 150 years...and it's shockingly easy.

Please don't miss this lifesaving special presentation.

Save the soybeans
Dear Reader,

Dr. Micozzi's Insiders' Health Recently, a Daily Dispatch reader wrote to me and asked me why I recommended eating a "processed" soy product such as tofu. I was puzzled at this imprecise reading of a term I had used. So let me help clarify my remarks...

First of all, I have never recommended eating processed food. And I never will.

But I did talk about fermented soy--as well as "culturally processed" soy--in a recent Daily Dispatch. Anthropologists have long used the term "process" to describe what traditional peoples do to prepare food for consumption. Long before the term "processed" was co-opted by big agribusiness.

I described the traditional cultural "process" used in China to convert raw soy to a usable food. The Chinese ferment the soybeans to get rid of the toxins that can cause gastro-intestinal upset and indigestion. And they also make traditional tofu, natto, and soy sauce. These are not "processed" foods.

Whole soybeans--called edamame in grocery stores and at sushi joints--are generally safe to eat in limited amounts. However, eating too much can cause digestion problems.

Also, you must always choose organic soybeans. Ninety-nine percent of the soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically modified. So unless you choose an organic brand, you'll be eating a genetically modified soybean. And I don't ever recommend that!

If any other readers were confused, please let me know. And if you don't appreciate the lessons in food history, or chemistry, please let us know that, too.

How the government could prevent 12,000 lung cancer deaths per year, but won't
One out of 10 smokers gets lung cancer. And those who smoke the most are most at risk. But, two years ago, U.S. researchers found a simple way to prevent lung cancer among those highest at risk. But the government refuses to acknowledge it.

New diabetes risk factor--and it's not your weight
We always hear that if you're overweight, you run a greater risk for developing Type II diabetes as an adult. But is this true? A new study questions this conventional wisdom. According to new research, there's another, stronger risk factor for developing Type II diabetes.

Mother's milk improves mother's mood
Without a doubt, breast-feeding benefits both mother and child. In fact, U.S. researchers recently discovered that breast-feeding might even protect mothers from developing post-partum mood disorders.

Important article on migraine cure - find the triggers.

Migraine is a disturbing and disabling disease.  It usually causes a throbbing pain and even aura of flashing lights.  And what are the triggers?   Bright light, exercise, or chocolate?

In the experiment by Dr. Hougaard involving 27 migraine sufferers, the triggers were discovered.  Int the experiment, exercise was found to be the trigger.

Too quick to pull the migraine trigger?
Dear Reader,

Dr. Micozzi's Insiders' Health If you suffer from migraines, you may think chocolate or bright lights trigger your headaches. So you avoid these triggers at all costs. But that cause-and-effect relationship may not be as strong as you think.

In fact, Dutch scientists recently took a close look at two classic migraine triggers: exercise and bright light. The scientists wanted to know if exposure to classic triggers always results in migraine attacks. And are migraine "triggers" as strong as patients believe?

For the study, a team of researchers led by Anders Hougaard, M.D. recruited 27 migraine sufferers. Each of the patients said that bright or flickering lights or strenuous activity triggered their migraines. So, the researchers tried to provoke migraines in the patients using these reported triggers.

They exposed the patients to bright lights, strenuous activity, or a combination of both triggers. Only three patients (11 percent) actually had migraine attacks with aura following these provocative tests. Three other patients reported migraines but without aura. The researchers discovered that exercise proved a stronger trigger than light exposure.

Dr. Hougaard suggested that these results could benefit migraine patients. "Migraine patients are usually advised to identify triggers and try and avoid them," he told Medscape Medical News. "But our research suggests that this may be limiting people's lives and causing unnecessary stress in trying to avoid a wide range of factors which may turn out not to be triggers after all."

In fact, Dr. Hougaard warns migraine patients to carefully evaluate whether or not something is an actual trigger. He said, "Patients need to try to identify triggers but they need to establish that they are true triggers before cutting them out of their lives. So I would advise that they allow several exposures before defining a trigger."

So if you suffer from migraines, be very careful before you blindly cut out all "classic" triggers. Especially since many purported triggers--such as sunlight, exercise, wine, coffee, chocolate, and cheese--are actually good for you in moderation!

Plus, many other factors affect your threshold for a migraine attack. In fact, your fatigue, your hormone levels, and even the time of day can make you more vulnerable to an attack. For instance, how tired were you when you drank that glass of wine? Or were certain hormones high when you went for that three-mile run in the bright morning light?

In addition...

You may confuse migraine "triggers" with cravings or certain behaviors. We know that feelings of tiredness, excitement, and depression, or food cravings often precede migraines. So, you may think eating chocolate triggers the migraine. But it's really a warning signal. Doctors call it a "premonitory symptom."

For example, you may crave chocolate one afternoon, so you eat a small piece of a candy bar. By dinnertime, you have a migraine. You kick yourself and think the chocolate triggered the migraine. But chocolate wasn't really the trigger. The craving was actually part of the onset of the migraine itself.

My former colleague, Stephen D. Silberstein, M.D., is a Professor of Neurology and Director of the headache center at Thomas Jefferson University. He agrees that avoiding triggers may be flawed advice. He says, "If migraine is a disorder of habituation of the brain to ordinary sensory signals, should one try to train the brain to habituate rather than avoid the trigger?"

That may explain why biofeedback helps so many migraine sufferers. With biofeedback, you learn to control your body's functions. You watch or listen to a monitor. And you learn by trial and error to control your heart rate, temperature, even your brain wave patterns. With biofeedback, can you even train your brain to handle exposure to so-called triggers, as my colleague suggests?

If you suffer from migraines, I recommend investigating biofeedback along with other "mind-body" therapies. You should choose these therapies based on your emotional "type." I explain all about this in my book Your Emotional Type.

Also, the American Academy of Neurology now recognizes butterbur as an effective non-drug migraine treatment. Feverfew is another good option. As I described in a recent Daily Dispatch, both herbs have long histories as alternative treatments for migraine headaches.

The doctor will not be in
Dear Reader,

Dr. Micozzi's Insiders' Health Experts say there is already a shortage of physicians in many parts of the United States. And many are considering giving up medicine altogether due to their alarm with the coming government take-over of healthcare.

Well, brace yourself.

In 2013, the actual provisions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will make that shortage far worse. We warned you about this looming problem last August in the Daily Dispatch.

So get ready. The most unpalatable aspects of the ACA (held in reserve until after the election) are about to kick in. Now, finding the right M.D. with solid credentials who can treat you appropriately using both modern high-tech medicine and natural alternatives may become next to impossible.

It's not that every little cough or sniffle needs a doctor's care. In fact, as I first discovered while working in Southeast Asia during the 1970s, not every medical situation requires a physician. As you might expect, most people in "third world" countries do not have easy access to doctors. In these countries, they get along without physicians in every community.

But in the U.S., it's all about access to drugs and tests and more drugs.

So, what might the New Year bring for you? Who's looking after your health as the U.S. health care system devolves ever more closely to something resembling what is found in a third world country? How exactly do the geniuses in Washington plan to make up for the staggering shortfall of qualified doctors that they will cause?

I fear the worst...

Dr. Micozzi reveals...
Meditation for the 21st Century
Who says you have to "slow down" to take care of yourself?!

We're all busy--and we all long for quiet and connection. But in today's world...it's often just not possible.

The hectic pace of modern life leaves little time to devote to meditation, relaxation, or contemplation. Despite the fact that we know how important to our health-and sanity-it can be. And the thought of taking time out to learn some form of exotic meditation just isn't appealing.

But now you can beat the stress and anxiety of today's fast-paced, ever-changing world--without having to take yourself out of it!

Start receiving your own copy of the Daily Dispatch. Or forward this e-mail to a friend.
In 2013, look for the role of the pharmacist to grow. Indeed, that's what most modern health care in this country is really all about anyway, right -- access to drugs? To many in Washington it makes perfect sense to put the pharmacist at the top of the power pyramid.

In fact, a report from one year ago by the chief pharmacist of the U.S. Public Health Service already argued that pharmacists are "remarkably underutilized" given their education, training, and location within communities.

Plus, the Federal Government already provides a model where the pharmacist ends up in charge of medical care. In fact, today pharmacists working for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and Indian Health Service can deliver care without medical supervision.

Indeed, once a physician prescribes drugs as the primary treatment, pharmacists take over. Federal pharmacists, after an initial diagnosis from a physician, can start, stop, and adjust medications. They can also interpret medical laboratory tests and coordinate care...all without physician supervision!

Is this what the Federal Government now envisions for everyone?

Thankfully, various state laws still make it difficult for pharmacists to replace your physician--but only if you're among the shrinking ranks of citizens who do not work (directly) for the government.

Of course, many pharmacists are knowledgeable about natural remedies as well as drugs. I learned about this trend 20 years ago. Back then, pharmacists like my friend Alan Kratz led efforts to promote "natural pharmacy" in Florida. In addition, schools like the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science (PCPS) still taught about "pharmacognosy"--the origins of medications from plants. My colleague, professor Ara DeMarderosian taught several such classes.

The PCPS also displayed exhibits of traditional plant remedies and held seminars on what modern physicians are rediscovering about the benefits of plant remedies. I even spoke at PCPS on more than one occasion.

But in my personal experience, pharmacists at your local CVS remain painfully ignorant and even hostile to natural alternatives. These retail chains have replaced independent-minded pharmacists with 9-to-5 corporate employees. The traditional compounding pharmacists--who used to make their own remedies--were open-minded entrepreneurs who ran their own shops. But they are being pushed out of towns all across America and replaced by corporate pill pushers.

So, this January, as you get back into shape and begin to focus once again on your health, talk to your pharmacist and ask him or her about the new ACA laws. Hopefully, you have one of the rare compounding pharmacists who is still around. If you use a retail pharmacy, ask your pharmacist about what they are doing for (or to) you under the new ACA.

Another major change in the U.S. health system in 2013 involves the continued proliferation of nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners (NPs) typically have master's degrees and more advanced training than registered nurses (RNs).

Last year, 18 states and the District of Columbia allowed NPs to diagnose and treat patients. They also gave NPs license to prescribe medications without any physician involvement. Expect that number to grow in 2013 with the new ACA changes.

Why are NPs suddenly so powerful? First off, it's another backdoor solution to the doctor shortage. Why would a clinic pay a doctor to do a job they can pay an NP to do for half or less the price?

The second reason may surprise you...

At the typical university--which spawned NP training programs-- faculty agenda and advancement tends to focus on being politically correct.

You see, once upon a time, women primarily dominated the nursing profession. Men dominated the medical profession. To "correct" this inequity, academic faculty agendas inevitably involved gender issues.

Since then, NP programs proliferated and nursing faculties built new academic empires. In the meantime, there are now more women physicians in training than men. So, these modern, "politically correct" faculty agendas have become as outdated as the 1960s politics which created them.

Your traditionally trained personal physician may indeed be on the verge of extinction. Aside from pharmacists and NPs, competition is also coming from retail walk-in clinics, community aides, and home healthcare workers. Plus, you'll find increasing directives to simply care for yourself in your own home (self-care).

Of course, you've also read about all the unnecessary and counter-productive medical care now prescribed (in previous editions of the Daily Dispatch as well as in my monthly Insiders' Cures newsletter). So, decreased access to a physician for the wrong kinds of medical interventions is not a bad thing for you and your family. Too many mainstream doctors still fail to consider safe and effective natural "alternatives" to conventional treatments.

Ultimately, much of what of you can and should do for your health does not involve just prescribing drugs. It lies outside the boundaries of what is defined as healthcare in the contemporary U.S.

But for complex or acutely critical medical problems, this new "affordable" healthcare system may represent the kind of care that we really can't afford. A rational healthcare system "reform" should provide the best of both worlds--modern high-tech medicine and natural alternatives--as suited to the individual and the condition.

Unfortunately, the ACA does little or nothing to move us toward that integrative goal in 2013. For most doctors and patients, it will simply be about ever-expanding government control over every aspect of our lives.

Always on the side of science,
