BUSPH’s fault ping.
We try to get 15-20 minutes of un-sunblocked sun a day. It boosts the immune system also. Even my 18 month old son goes out without sun-block. It was shown to be very effective during the swine flu “epidemic”.
hmm....how ‘bout the people with RA who spent most of their lives living in sunny states and spending a lot of time outdoors?
I feel a global warming connection in my bones.
Interestingly, RA was not described in European populations prior to 1780, and its stigmata is not found in medieval or ancient skeletons. It is seen in North American Pre-Colombian skeletons, and is thought therefore to have been transmitted from the New to the Old World. So, RA is a lot more than just insufficient Vitamin D.
