You should be tested to ensure you have correct levels of vitamin D, which is more like a hormone than a vitamin. This means ensuring you have the optimum not just average or minimum recommended. The Budwig protocol recommends going out in the sunshine to top up viatamin D in the best way possible.

Johanna Budwig recommended sunbathing.  By this she meant going out in the sun exposing bare skin to the sun  without sunscreen for a short while every day.   In winter it will be just your hands and face, in the warmer, sunnier seasons a little sun is still good and just a few moments will give you the Viatmin D you need   but be care not to over do it and  don’t burn

A Vitamin D3 supplement is one of the very few supplements that are beneficial for health and important especially in winter months in northern latitudes such as the UK.

Kelp and Seaweed

Seaweed is rich in mineral  and a common food in many parts of the world though we don’t have a big tradition of it in the UK , which is strange being we are an island and it is all around us.

All the minerals in the rocks on the land get washed down to the sea by rivers which means the sea contains in all the minerals. Seaweed takes up mineral s.  When added to the diet seaweed can deliver minerals in a real-fod way – and it comes with co-nutrients that can help  absorb minerals in a natural way.
A little seaweed sprinkled in food can deliver a good amount of minerals amd is lower in salt that table salt.

A little seaweed added to food is a great source of some minerals If you find it difficult to use or haven’t a source of seaweed is available dried as tablets and capsules. Try for carefully selected and tested or organic.
