Vitamin D
Posted by Phil (Maryborough, Qld ) on 12/11/2011

I have suffered with Folliculitis for the last 4 years and have tried all of the remedies I found on the Internet, including apple cider vinegar steroid creams and antibiotics but with no success I would find that it would just decrease and when I though it was going away it come back worse than ever, it was on my face and couldn't shave and was speading onto my head and down my neck but it wasn't until I read a blog here about the Low Iron Anaemia.

This reminded me that awhile ago I had a full blood test and the result found that I had a vitamin D deficiency and had been given some supplements but forgot to take them I thought that I would just get more sun.

I remembered that about 4 years ago I stopped drinking milk for some unknown reason I then read somewhere else that you cannot absorb vitamin D without calcium so I thought maybe all these things were connected I have now for the last couple of weeks been having a glass of milk with a egg in the morning and I have still contuinued to use the ACV and have found it has cleared up for the first time.

I also had dry scaly skin on my legs and forarms and that has cleared up as well I hope this will help and would be interested to hear if anyone else has found they have a vitamin D deficiency.
