I remember 10 years ago someone mentioned that Vitamin D was the most effective Vitamin...and that we do one thing that causes more cancer and disease than anything....

...Wearing sunscreen.

Sunscreen blocks the absorption of Vit D....Vit D has been so reduced in our bodies from using sunscreen (and also, skin cancer has grown exponentially, too)

We are finding more and more, Vitamin D is so important

Oh no! This must be wrong. We have to keep slathering our kids in SPF 50 sun block! No child is safe unless he is cocooned from the sun!

I call crap on this. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes earlier this year. I eat more cheese and drink more milk than any 2 other people, plus I take daily supplements.

AAAK! Just choked down two of those big boys, and dread doing the same again this evening. But it’s worth it.

People with a weak or bad liver will not process natural vitamin D from sunlight properly

Best way to supplement is to take D3, K2, A and cod liver oil on empty stomach

Weekly and biweekly vitamin D2 prevents vitamin D deficiency

October 26th, 2009

Boston University School of Medicine researchers (BUSM) have found that 50,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D2, given weekly for eight weeks, effectively treats vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D2 is a mainstay for the prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency in children and adults. Continued treatment with the same dose of vitamin D2 every other week for up to six years after the initial eight-week period prevents vitamin D deficiency from recurring with no toxicity. The BUSM study appears online in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.

Vitamin D is essential for strong bones because it helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus from the food we eat. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets in children and the painful bone disease osteomalacia in adults. Vitamin D deficiency can also cause osteoporosis and has been linked to increased risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases including influenza, according to ...”

OT but just wanted to mention I seem to be coming down with H1N1 symptoms 3 days after my daughter was diagnosed in the ER (her fever is starting to come down). I have been taking 2,000-4,000 IU D3 daily all along so hopefully the flu will be mild. Hers was other than the fever (almost 104).
