what is the difference between a health care proxy and power of attorney?

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Clotting factor.: Hemophilia a results from a deficiency in clotting factor viii. In contrast, hemophilia b (also called christmas disease) is caused by a deficiency in clotting factor ix. Hemophilia a is more common than hemophilia b, and people with hemophilia a are more likely to suffer from severe disease. It would be impossible to distinguish the two on clinical presentation alone.

D is a  general term: Vitamin d comes in two forms, vitamin d3 is made in the skin after stimulation with ultraviolet light from sun shine and vitamin d2 comes from irradiated mushrooms.  They both have the same effects but vitamin d3 stays in the blood for a longer time than d2.

Question 9

i have vit d deficiency and was prescribed vit d2 1.25 mg (50, 000). what is the difference between v it d2 and vit d3?

D2 vs D3: If you have a choice, use the d3 rather than the d2. The d3 is a more useful form for the human body. There are very technical differences between these compounds. Note that I am not using the term 'more natural' since these compounds are often both made synthetically.
