Vitamin deficiency
Vitamin deficiency?
How long does it take to recover from a vitamin deficiency? specifically, C, but anyone with experience in any vitamin deficiency, feel free to chime in. It’s been a couple months but my gums still pain on a daily basis, though much less than when I wasn’t taking vitamin C. My dentist and gum specialist says everything is fine as far as he can see and I do brush/floss regularly. Thank you
Answer :
keep continuing ur tablets…as vit c is a wter soluble vitamin…it is not stored in ur body like other vitamins like vit a,d e, n k…. so u got to eat it everyday to keep replenishing it… also u can eat citrus fruits like oranges ,grapes… lemons [fresh lemonade probabli…] n one of the richest source of vit c is gooseberrys…. u can try eating it wth salt or pickled ones…. but sureli it will b worth all the efforts…!!
n keep maintaing a good oral hygiene….
gud luck wth it !!!! keep smiling !! merry christmas !! 
Does my baby goat have a vitamin deficiency?
We bought this really skinny and YOUNG boer goat from an auction this Saturday- no mother. She is very young (about 2 or 3 weeks) and very small, but on grain and hay already. I’m assuming that because she is already eating this and is not interested in milk that she may never have been started on it at all. I don’t think she could have been weaned this quickly. At this age they usually at least try to nurse off of your hand or chew on something else. This goat does not. Her leg twists out when she walks- it isn’t broken- and her hoof is tilted. We cut them, but at her age there isn’t much hoof growth yet. Could she have a vitamin deficiency from not getting enough calcium or something from the milk she is supposed to be on? Should I try to get her to nurse on a bottle again or just add vitamins to her grain? What vitamins would help? She is in otherwise healthy condition and despite being skinny, has a healthy appetite. Any suggestions would be help
ful. Thanks
Answer :
There was a study done about weaning goat kids early and they can be weaned as early as 4 weeks. I doubt your kid is as young as 2 or 3 weeks. How is the horn growth? That might be a better way to decide age rather than size.
She’s probably got coccidea. Consult with your vet about the best way to treat that. It often causes scours in other species but often doesn’t with goats. But it does really stunt their growth. She may do well with a vit A & D injection. That will help her with her calcium uptake. Alfalfa hay will have plenty of calcium for her.
The suggestion of some Bo-SE was also a good one.
There a few vets that really understand goats so you may have to look around for one. I would have one come out and check on your girl and give you some suggestions on treatment. She may very well need to be wormed as well.
What causes vitamin D deficiency? (besides lack of sunlight and vitamin D in the diet)?
I’m talking major lack of vitamin D. I just got a blood test result back, Normal range is 20-100, test results show mine being at least less than 4 (not sure of the units but the difference from normal range should give you an idea, it’s pretty damn low).
My doctor is sort of a putz and simply said “well I dunno some people just have low vitamin D” and he prescribed me prescription strength vitamin D (50,000 I.U.).
So, anyone have a clue of why my vitamin D would be so damn low?
By the way after taking the vitamin D I’ve had some odd side effects - neck and back pain, headache, going from feeling restless to having no energy at all. it’s weird.
Answer :
Oh my , same as me. Mine was from being lactose intolerant , smoking , and no sun light. My test was 0 , the fatigue was so bad for months , I couldn’t do anything without my heart pounding out of my chest. Foul smelling urine too. How often do you take the 50,000 ??? I take it once a week. I never had any bad side affects. After a few months on it , I felt so much better and have never felt that way again. Give it a chance to work maybe what your feeling isn’t from the vit D. Good Luck to you.
What vitamin deficiency causes sore tongue and gums?
Not ulcerated, just feeling very sore and burning.
Answer :
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin0 deficiency. Other symptoms you may be suffering from are cracked lips, grainy and sandy feeling eyes, splitting and cracking skin around your fingernails. Eat more foods rich in this vitamin ie: milk, liver, kidney, cheese, leafy green vegies, fish, eggs, yoghurt and beans.
Foods rich in vitamin B2 will promote healthy skin, nails and hair and benefit vision and alleviate eye fatigue.
Things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, antiobiotics, antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin…..also the oral contraceptive and eostroegen supplementation will rob you of your B complex of vitamins and vitamin C.
Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks as they are all B complex thieves…….. as well as being great at dehydrating you.
Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B’s ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together).
The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are………
When you take your daily supplement ensure that you take it with some type of calcium rich food ie: low fat cheese or milk or a calcium supplement as B12 needs calcium to be properly assimilated by the body……….. ensure you also get enough sunshine (vitamin D) or eat cold water fishes such as tuna, salmon, sardines and whiting as calcium needs enough vitamin D to be effectively absorbed!! These cold water fishes are also a rich source of magnesium (known as the antistress mineral) which is probably another thing you need to focus on as well ~ your stress levels. Quite a handfull of information here …….. sorry it’s a bit long winded but you need to know all this.
When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly.
When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine.
Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy?

Does one get warts due to vitamin deficiency. If yes, what vitamin is it?
Answer :
Hi Fairy
Here are some answers and remedies for your issue. Need to really look at your diet and learn about detoxing the body by doing a colon and liver cleanse to rid of the toxins in the blood.
Causes
Warts are caused by any of 35 viruses and are often a consequence of poor diet and nutrition, poor hygiene, and, in the cases of genital warts, unprotected sex. Warts also become more common as a consequence of aging with corresponding diminished immune function.
Caution: Some warts can turn into cancerous tumors. If they do not seem benign, consult with a physician immediately.
——————————…
Natural Cures
Note: Natural healing of warts may require one to two months of care, with the wart disappearing suddenly in one to three days.
Aromatherapy: Lemon essential oil applied topically can speed healing. Thuja oil is also effective for dealing with warts.
Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet, emphasizing foods that are high in vitamin A, such as dark green and yellow vegetables, cold-water fish, eggs, and sulfur, such as onions, garlic, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli. Avoid all refined and processed foods, sugar, unhealthy fats, and excess animal proteins, as well as milk and dairy products.
Herbs: a.Onions for Warts: Warts have been said to disappear when treated perseveringly with raw onion dipped in salt.
b.Wild Lettuce for Warts: The expressed juice is “much regarded as an application to boils, abscesses and carbuncles, and if put upon warts will cause them to drop off.
c.Garlic for Warts and Moles: Here is a very successful routine for removal of these unwanted growths called moles, or warts. Take a button of garlic, slice or cut in two, and placed the cup area over a wart of mole. Tape it on, and as it dries out put a fresh piece. Many users have reported good results.
d.Cashew Oil: The cashew oil, which must be used with great caution, is used as an application to warts, corns, ringworms, cancerous ulcers.
d.Potassium Deficiency for Warts and Moles: When cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating.Potassium sources: There are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carro
ts, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium.
Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Thuja, Causticum, Calc carb., Ruta grav., and Graphites.
Nutritional Supplementation: Recommended nutrients include vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, garlic capsules, and L-cysteine.
Topical Treatment: A solution of garlic oil, vitamin E, castor oil, and zinc oxide cream can be applied topically to warts.
Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating warts: Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Best of health to you
Vitamin D deficiency????? cant cure it so far…. HELP?
so i have this problem with keeping my vitamin D levels up. i have been taking supplements for 8 and it was barely at a normal level when it dropped really low again. now i am taking 50,000 mg of vit. d a day and they have ran like every test possible. (parathyroid, thyroid, calcium…) they just tested me for seliac’s disease and that hasnt came back yet, but i am a healthy teen, like i’m never sick and i dont have any major health problems. so if any of you have any suggestions i would love to hear them!!!!!
Answer :
Vit. D, cholecalciferol, is not a true vitamin but a steroid hormone and its metabolism is controlled by thyroid hormones. Vit. D is produced in the skin so I have to agree with everyone who suggested exposure to sunlight. I don’t know where you live so I don’t know if this is possible for you at this time of year. I’m happy to hear you have no major health issues at this time but a severe deficiency can lead to a host of problems.
This deficiency is common among teens and during winter and can also be associated with obesity, decreased milk consumption and lack of physical activity. Not all of the factors may apply to you. The Celiac test results may be more revealing. I hope so.

Is slow hair growth a vitamin deficiency? (child)?
My daughter has the slowest growing hair!!
4yo, it was still above her shoulders (while her cousin’s was near her behind).
7yo, last year, cut an inch or two and it’s grown back but no extra.
She’s otherwise a healthy tall girl, rarely sick, but what’s with the hair? Can I help her?
Answer :
i know Vitamin e pills and fish oil pills help hair growth, but with that age I’d check with her pediatrician.
Can anyone explain about B12 vitamin deficiency?
my doctor just called to tell me that i have the above problem. .My vitamin B12 is extremely low. they said i will have to take folic acid for 7 days & then get a shot once a week & then once every 2 weeks, Then it will be once month..does anyone know what causes it ? they told me it would make you feel very tired. i do feel that way, but i never contributed to a vitamin deficiency.does it cause any other type of symptoms? thank you doris p.
Answer :
I am 45 and was diagnosed with Pernicious Anemia about 13 years ago. It is a B12 deficiency that requires I take monthly shots of B12. If that is what you have, then it is actually a disorder of the stomach. Your stomach doesn’t have the enzyme that absorbs B12 from what you ingest. My understanding is that taking vitamins or anything oral will not work because your stomach won’t absorb the B12. That is why shots are required. I have always been told it is an older person’s disease, but I was only 32 when I was diagnosed. When I was diagnosed I was tired and also got very winded walking across the room. It felt like I had the just gotten over the flu or something. I have also noticed (not that this makes any sense at all) that when I wait too long to take my shot I tend to get a twitchy eye. I am almost positive that is not listed as a symptom, but it is a personal symptom and I pay attention to it. Hope this helps.
