My entire life I never took any supplements, ever. We were raised on raw milk, loads of vegetables, etc. I worked with unruly horses for 30 years and never broke a bone, although I took some dandy tumbles and was kicked a few times. I fell out of several trees when a kid, as I practiced to be a dare-devil. I was the test dummy for every go-kart my younger brothers built -- never a problem.

In 2020, when in my 7th decade, I didn't see a spot of black ice on my front steps and took a tumble down 8 steps, except that my left foot got stuck in one of the steps (where there was no ice) and broke from being twisted beyond what the bone joints could reasonably handle. I took the surgery, casting etc like a trooper and was healing really well, except that my chiro said I really should start on Vit D as this was likely the reason the foot broke and all the tisssues were wrenched. He did some sort of test and it came back as 'dangerously low in Vit D', so I bought some Vit D from him. I know, I know .... I should have put two and two together sooner!

Three years later, with my 'golden years' getting more 'golden', I wiped out on my ceramic kitchen floor when my shoelace caught in a shoe rack and all the shoes on it conspired to trip me. I fell on my right hip (very little padding) and it cracked in two places just below the ball joint.

Now I knew that something was off for sure, because I had fallen many times in my life, on my butt, hip, shoulder, etc, especially since where I live in Ottawa, Ontario, ice patches are a special feature of the landscape during winter, put there by God to toughen us up. The orthopedic surgeon said I was lucky my bones were so strong and he said that is very rare 'at my age'. Three months later, a different doctor looked at my new X-rays and stated that my bones were extremely brittle and I needed osteoporosis medication, like immediately.

My conclusions: never take supplements again, since I think the Vit D had started to weaken my bones over the 3 years I had taken the Vit D, do not listen to conventional doctors who look sicker than an 80-year old in a long-term care home, and smarten up, slow down and keep eating raw foods that I grow myself.

Vitamin D is rat poison & our most natural source of Vitamin D is being blocked out by chemtrails...........

What's a girl to do to get her Vitamin D these days ? 🤷‍♀️
