Low Vitamin D: One Sign of Sunlight Deficiency

 

A low vitamin D level found in the blood is one sign of sunlight

deficiency, just like high blood cholesterol is one sign of eating too

much meat and cheese. A far-reaching campaign has been launched

by doctors, health organizations, supple- ment companies, and

pharmaceutical industries to fix the problem of sunlight deficiency

with pills. Take vitamin D pills and the internal levels of this

vitamin will increase, but 5 of 9 studies have shown no reduction in

the risk of suffering from a fracture and 9 of 10 studies have shown

no decrease in the most serious bone break—hip fractures.1

If I Could Be Your Doctor, I Would Love to Tell You How:

To Lose Excess Weight Effortlessly, Painlessly, and Permanently

 

You need to believe that the only thing that matters is the

composition of the foods on your plate. Do not focus on anything

else. Don’t think about how much you eat. Don’t think

about exercise. It does not matter if you are a nice person, or

if you go to church, or if your classmates picked on you in high

school. It’s the food. All you have to do to permanently

change your life—I sincerely mean this; to lose excess weight and

regain your lost health—is to change the makeup of the meals you put

into your mouth.

Advanced Study Weekend September 7 to 9, 2007

 

The Advanced Study Weekend held September 7 to 9, 2007 was an

outstanding success with more than 160 people enjoying each other’s

company, fabulous food, and the nation’s top speakers on nutrition,

health and medicine. Dr. T. Colin Campbell, PhD, appeared as a

national hero to his captivated audience. The presentations of

Michael Greger, MD’s were a work of art. Brenda Davis, RD

provided the audience with basic lessons on nutrition and the story

behind her personal campaign to save the people of the Marshall

Islands from the ravages caused by the rich Western diet. Jason

Wyrick, Master Chef, cooked soups of the world for an excited crowd.

Most people considered it the best health dollar they had ever spent

and planned to return to the February 22 to 24, 2008 weekend.

You had to have been there to fully appreciate the experien ce.

On the article on Vitamin D - I would like to point out that a

deficiency of vitamin D has a lot more consequences than those to do

with the skeleton, which is the aspect this article appears to be

arguing against. Personally I would feel that if you have 'enough'

vitamin D your skeleton will be safe, whereas you may need more than

a basic amount to keep you free from heart disease and cancer, which

the latest research seems to imply.
