Do it again? Well, maybe

I went to see my internist yesterday. I got my labs back pronto, so tonight I get a note that says "Take Vitamin D."

Yes, that lab was low. I thought the research that said calcium supplementation was hogwash so I started eating more cheese and Greek yogurt.

Too bad that's not fortified with Vitamin D. Yes, Dr. H., I'll be picking up the supplement tomorrow.

For fun, I decided to take an online course through work. Tonight I found out that the superduper steroid version on that subject that is limited to 35 people per session is still open. The best part: I may have to go visit my favorite pharmacist next year, since one of the class requirements is presenting your project at next year's conference.

Joy of joys. Now to just get management approval and apply by the end of the week.

Never ever a dull moment around here.

Stay tuned.

They are reasons for everything

(This is a public service announcement)

There are reasons why you really need to know what you are eating, drinking or taking as a supplement.

Diet supplement has meth-like chemical (from www.cnn.com)

Reason one: dietary supplements are not regulated by the FDA like drugs are.

Reason two: you could develop horrific side effects or worse.

I've always wanted to lose more weight, but I'm just not going to try meth (or anything meth-like) anytime soon.

The risks (and nasty side effects) are just too great.

That is all.

Thank you.
