If you have tooth decay, you're presumably deficient in vitamin A and D. The most potent and easy way to consume the fat-soluble vitamins A and D together is cod liver oil (dosage: ​¼-½ teaspoon 2-3 times per day with meals for teens and adults for a total of ½-1½ teaspoons per day). Cod liver oils purchased at health food stores don't have any of their natural vitamin D intact. The best available cod liver oil in health food stores seems to be Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil without vitamin D added. Green Pasture produces the highest quality, most nutrient-dense cod liver oil on the market called Blue Ice fermented cod liver oil (www.traditionalfoods.org). Green Pasture's cod liver oil capsules equals about a quarter teaspoon (7-10 capsules per day, spread throughout the day). [2011] - Ramiel Nagel

Osteoporotic fractures can occur in various parts of the body, but the most commonly affected sites are the hips, spine and wrists. Low levels of protein appear to increase the risk of hip fracture. Statistics show that one month after suffering a fracture of the hip, 1 in 14 people will have died - and around half will remain in long-term care. Spinal or vertebral fractures usually occur in the thoracic (middle) or lumbar (lower) areas of the spine. Back pain is the most common symptom. Spinal fractures take from 6 to 12 weeks to heal but can persist for a longer period. For the majority of people, spinal fractures do not interfere with the spinal cord or result in paralysis. When spinal bones heal, they don't return to their original shape but are often flattened or wedge-shaped. [2019] - Diana Moran

Retirees should ignore their portfolio’s value and all forecasts. Instead, they should stick to an inflation-adjusted 4 percent withdrawal plan. Even if they retire on the eve of a market crash, their money should still last at least thirty years (especially if they don’t give themselves an inflation-adjusted “raise” during years when stocks decline). [2022] - Andrew Hallam
