Hormone D , and lowered suicide in study of 1.3 million Vets

Vitamin D Supplementation Associated with Lower Suicide Rates in Military Veterans

A study in conjunction with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) involving over 1.3 million veterans showed significant benefit from vitamin D regarding incidents of suicide attempts and intentional self-harm.

Supplementation with vitamin D2 or D3 was associated with 45% to 48% reduction in risk of suicide attempts and self-harm. Veterans with pre-study serum levels of vitamin D 25 (OH) D below 20 ng/ml had the most benefit from supplementation and those with measured levels of 40 ng/ml had lower incidence in general.

It should be noted that vitamin D3 supplementation more efficiently increases serum levels of 25(OH) D.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
