Dr. Mercola,

I appreciate your work more than I can express!  Thank you! 

I do have a question for you and anyone who has useful information.  Do you plan to market oxytocin for the benefit of those who want to use it to treat children who have autism?  Is there a supplier of oxytocin that you would recommend to supply oxytocin nasal spray for treatment of autism.?

my name is arama (call me ardi) ive recently came across your site and decided to register.
thank you 4 accepting me
then i was just reading your page on new years resolutions dont work....i disagree. they can work. if you love and appreciate life and if you really believe it in your heart that something wonderful is about to happen with the choice you have decided to pursue. it can have a profound affect in the choices you wish to make. what you do now will always be the result of the past.period.but what you also do now will result in the future as well. new year resolutions can work...every now and then u could try to see things from a different perspective.

Dr. Mercola,

I have used your site a whole lot to become educated and take better care of myself. The road of recovery is slow, but so rewarding. I am feeling much better than I have in years, although my stress levels are enormous right now. So, I wanted to thank you for putting out freely the information that helps people get better health, to manage themselves instead of relying on a broken system.

I also have a question for you. I have read several of your articles on the importance of Vitamin D (realizing it's not truly a vitamin). At my check up with my M.D. this month, I asked to have my vitamin D levels checked because of us being in winter (and I live in Washington State, notorious for our lack of sunshine) and wanting to safely increase from my current 2,000 i.u.'s daily. I got the results on Saturday, and this is the breakdown: Vitamin D 1,25 DIHYDROXY; Vitamin D, 1,25 (OH)2 Total value 35; Vitamin D3, 1,25 (OH)2 value 35; Vitamin D2 1,25 (OH)2 <8; Range (pg/mL) Narrative: Fasting.

I reviewed several of your articles, on the only values I have found listed are for the 25(OH)D which are in (ng/ml). My M.D. says my vitamin D levels are "normal," however, I have been trying for about a 1 1/2 to get back to the natural medicine path, and I do not willing accept whatever is said without it being explained, especially with no reference range!

That's a lot of information to ask this question of you: what are the "deficiency, optimal, treat cancer, excess" range using the 1,25 (OH)2 test? I want to ensure I get/stay in the optimal ranger, particularly with another family member death on the way, darkness, colder temps, lack of sun, et cetera. Also, would it be possible for you to post with the "Test Values and Treatment for Vitamin D Deficiency" article what the ranges are for the 1,25(OH) test, instead of just the 25 (OH)D range?

 

Thank you in advance for any answer you can provide concerning test ranges. And thank you for helping me regain my health!

 

Sincerely,

~~Cierra
