Not only is Vitamin D seriously deficient in children but in the elderly, especially those living in retirement centers/nursing homes.

My physician, who is an M.D. but also an "Integrative Medicine" specialist, insists that constant use of sunscreen in children, many since birth (as our "professionals tell us is necessary to prevent skin cancer") and the elderly who don't get any sunshine, being inside much of the time, has become a serious health risk.

P.S. Scientists around the world have studied thiss issue and the knowledge has been known for years but much squelched in U.S. because cosmetic companies make so many $$$$ selling sunscreens and also because many of our "health professionals" don't avail themselves to this research.

What many people, including "health professionals," fail to recognize is that Vitamin D is necessary to fight cancer, including all forms of skin cancer, and that without it, cancer gets the upper hand.

There are 3 ways to get Vitamin D; (1)at least 30 minimum of direct sunlight per day, 7 days per week (without sunscreen); (2) diets very, very high in cold water fish (people in Norway, Sweden and Denmark are the areas that offer such consistent diets); (3)prescription strength Vitamin D, usually about 50,000 mg.

Prescription Vitamin D is the only one that has the correct form of Vitamin D.

I had rickets as a child. For treatment, I ate tablespoonsful of peanut butter. Luckily, I was raised in Texas, where bowlegs are seen as a feature, not a bug.
