Blue Zone Diet for longevity
I have always drank mucho milk and in last 20+ years primarily skim milk mixed with Whey Protein (ON’s Vanilla Ice Cream flavor). MMM.MMMM.MMMMMMM.
Drs. are prescribing 50,000 weekly.

Check Heston as Det. Thorn in Soylent Green
Det. Thorn: “You know, there are 20 million guys out of work in Manhattan alone just waiting for my job.”
Sounds like an Obama economy.

I would urge everyone to have their vit. D levels checked. Most American’s are lacking. Low vit. D has been linked to many cancers. Breast cancer, prostrate cancer, pancreatic cancer and skin cancers just to name a few.
It’s ironic that vit. D insufficiency has been implicated in skin cancer. I think that in years to come, the American Dermatology Association is going to have much for which to apologize. Creating this panic about ‘incidental exposure’ is going to saddle us with many problems, especially once Obamacare kicks in. But I’m confident that it will be repealed and replaced.

Of course, there was a recent article (posted on FR, but I don’t have the link) about a study showing high levels of Vit. D caused calcium deposits in the arteries, leading to heart disease. Who knows what to do with all the conflicting scientific studies?
For myself, I take 400 IU daily & I try to get a little sun each day (when there is any!)
And it’s not an expensive vit. Walgreen’s and Kroger normally run a buy 1 get 1 free of Nature’s Bounty or Nature’s Finest. Coupons for Nature’s Bounty are often in the Sunday paper. I take 1—1,000mg in the morning another at night. I break my coral Calcium up like that too. The D makes the Calcium work better. I have to limit my dairy products.
First they scare us with getting to much sun, to use sun screens or blocks, now they are finding out we need at least 30 mins of it a day. Of course with my Celtic ancestry fair skin, 50 block is a must.
Agreed, it is ironic. A little sunshine is far better than smearing your body with sunscreen. That’s not to say that roasting in the sun and cooking your skin like a chicken is good - just normal, healthy exposure. As in all things, moderation...
Everyone is different. I take 5000 IU a day and have trouble keeping my D level in a good range. Some people might only need 2-4000 a day. The average person needs about 4000 IU from sun and vitamins a day, that's about how much your body uses. If you stayed in the sun for 30 minutes you would average 10,000 IU. Course the farther south you are the more you get, the farther north you are, the less D you'll get. Vitamin D is actually not a vitamin it's a hormone.

I was surprised that thread didn’t gain more interest. The potential for repairing spinal cord injuries, or, I guess, any nerve damage, is amazing.
However, the nerve damage in this article was newly created so I’m left wondering about older injury.
