Re: Materna Vit Deficiency and AutismFrom: S. H. (lastfrontiermidwife@yahoo.com)Sat Apr 25 16:21:59 2009
Hi Glen, and others I have a lurker and occasional responder for the last 10+ yrs. I am a midwife of 30 yrs practice. I too have wondered about the Vit D. I am familiar with Pure Encapsulations formulas. Do you feel comfortable with 10,000 IU's? Once you start retesting will you please post your findings? Living in Alaska for 44 yrs and practiced there for 21 yrs, I recommended daily out door walks of 20-30 minutes of sunshine ( or SADD lights) without glasses or contacts ( obviously taking someone with them) so that the sun Vit D would absorb through the retina. It worked well, I have read in the past that also affects the pituitary, so as to affect the adrenal glands to keep mom or anyone else healthy. One, I don't see many of these moms go over due also, as well as I didn't see these child develop autism and there seems to be a lack of depression or depression getting better with the lights/outdoor sun. It seems as though many preg woman have not only depressive issues in preg/pp but depression that runs in familes. Everyone fgeels better in the sun. So I wonder if by taking Vit D3 will we see some of these findings as I mentioned ? Now that we are finding that Vit D is also helping bone structure or a relaxing of the pelvic bones that is needed for birthing, I am trying to see if there are other connects with Vit D as in some of my findings. I don't think what I'm seeing is just commonalities, but real solutions. I like to solve puzzles, and I started noticing these results for almost 30 yrs now. These are obviously just observational, but I am wondering about these findings. If anyone has information that it doesn't work that way please comment, but please not rudely. I am quite interested in responses. I practiced in New Mexico and posted several things about our hospital turning down women for births. I now live in Oregon and noticed the lack of sunshine many times in the season.

All my pregnant patients have been either below normal or very low normal range. I use a product called Pure Encapsulations brand Vit D3 and treat with 10,000 IU daily. we had a discussion here about Vit D not too long ago, so I haven't had a chance to recheck anyone after supplements, but I got the formuation and dose from a local FP that has and sees levels in the upper level of the normal range after treatment.

Emphasis on testing, supplementing and medico-legal risk perspectives conclude the posting. Are members screening, and supplementing (up to 7000 IU q day discussed), commonly antenatally? Interesting to know whether a servicing lab, a testing kit or supplement manufacturer, or an anonymous but previously burned practitioner, or a good samaritan legal professional, etc. is the sponsor of the notice...comments welcome.
