Well, I try to keep an open mind about things.

Now they have discovered basically that just about everyone in North America doesn't get enough Vitamin D. The RDA for Vitamin D is 400IUs per day.

But half an hour in full sunlight will give you over 10,000 units. Why would the body make 10,000 units if it only needs 400?

Vitamin D is a growth regulator and they are now estimating you could safely take 1000-2000 units per day.

And other estimates are that as many as 50,000 people per year have died from cancers that could have been prevented by enough Vitamin D - in large part because they bitched and moaned and hounded us to stay out of the sun.

Fifty percent of doctors graduated at the bottom half of their class.

I've been a massive vitamin/amino acid-taker from a long time ago.

I pretty much decided the RDA was screwed-up ever since I read "Life Extension".

Even before that, I looked into the govt's microwave exposure stuff and found their minimums inadequate.

If I weren't doing massive vitamins, I'd probably be dead by now, what with all the bad things I've done to my tent

The tent part is from a Jimmy Buffett song "you treat your body like a temple, I treat mine like a tent" LOL!.

I refuse to trust anything out of Cuba.

Thanks for the info however, I'll look into it.

Oh, and I treat doctors like car mechanics, and I'm a good mechanic. If I'm up to speed on my stuff I can usually blow them away. Most people are in awe of docs, not me.
