[QUOTE="goji, post: 131963, member: 11291"] Hi Ally Thanks for your reply. A private doctor requested the blood tests. The vitamins levels were taken using blood samples (and handled correctly/covered up from the light - I watched the phlebotomist). Tests were serum Vit A, 25-Hydroxy-D and Magnesium. I have read in the literature that diabetics and patients with hypothyroidism have problems converting Betacarotene into Vitamin A. Also Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be associated (not causative mind) with autoimmune diseases like Type 1 Diabetes and Autoimmune thyroid disease. I couldn't understand why this would be seen as 'alternative'. :? Do you think the reason patients don't get tested is simply about cost? I could understand that as the NHS is very overstretched.
