Saturated Fats, Cholesterol Lard and Vitamin D
Vulcan59:
Dr. Uffe Ravnskov is also the spoke person for "The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics" or THINCS. Many well written articles on cholesterol by various doctors at the site. He also has his own website.
Found him and THINCS almost 10 years ago when I was looking into cholesterol and I thought I had mentioned this here somewhere but apparently not.

I recently read that D3 taken as supplement is best assimilated in an oil base.
Here is some additional info from Dr. Blaylock's newsletter:
Vitamin D is a very complex substance. For over half a century vitamin D was thought only to
mineralize bones. But studies indicate that it does much more:
• Regulates calcium in all cells (especially braincells)
• Protects the immune system
• Regulates cell growth and cell death
• Provides antioxidant and antiviral benefits
Vitamin D from foods is metabolized in the liver and the kidneys to form the active vitamin D-3.
Many forms of commercial vitamin D supplements are not the active form. So, when
you buy vitamin D supplements make sure it is vitamin D-3.
What Are Recommended Doses?
Recent reviews by health “experts” have revised the recommended doses for vitamin D from 400
IU to 2,000 IU a day, a dramatic five-fold increase.
This means that the “experts” have been keeping people in danger of contracting a number of
serious diseases, many deadly, for over a century— more bad advice from a government that is
quickly moving to control all of your health decisions (universal healthcare).
A dose of 800 IU a day (twice RDA levels) has no effect on bone fracture reduction, but 2,000 IU
a day produces a profound reduction. At 4,000 IU a day there is no reported hypercalciuria (a
condition that causes kidney stones), a previous fear of the “experts.”
Daily doses of 10,000 IU or less have been shown to produce no complications.
For daily maintenance in otherwise healthy people, 2,000 IU a day appears to be adequate.
For those with autoimmune diseases, cancer or viral illnesses (flu), higher doses may be needed —
doses as high as 5,000 IU a day.

In my family house we used lard for frying and cooking. Oil was only used for salats. The lard (processed )was also served on bread with some chopped onion and red peper as snack.
Also during the respiratory problems , the lard was lubricate on chest , covered with flax linen and hold it during the night .I remember that I had pneumonia and my ant applied raw pig fat linings for one or two night.
