Did you know Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and autism?
And that’s just for starters. Recent studies have also linked this miraculous vitamin to the prevention and potential cure of many other devastating and debilitating conditions including cardiovascular disease, blood pressure issues, high cholesterol levels, neurological system disorders, kidney failure, reproductive system disorders, muscle weakness, obesity, disorders of the skin and even tooth decay.
The problem is 85 percent of us are not getting enough of this “sunshine vitamin” which helps fight bone loss, infection, and abnormal cell growth.
So why are we so D’ – ficient?
Decades ago, most of us worked out in the sunshine, and absorbed approximately 10.000 – 20,000 IU of vitamin D in 15 minutes. That’s many times more than the current FDA requirements of between 200 and 400IU.
But for the past twenty or thirty years, the medical establishment has been screaming that “sunlight is dangerous for your health”... and telling you to cover yourselves with sunscreen, even though there is no real evidence the sun’s UV rays when used wisely cause cancer.
A diet deficient in vitamin D causes osteomalacia (called rickets when it occurs in children), which is a softening of the bones. In the developed world, this is a rare disease. Low blood calcidiol (25-hydroxy-vitamin D) can result from avoiding the sun. Deficiency results in impaired bone mineralization and leads to bone-softening diseases.
WARNING: Do not take vitamin D orally without medical consultation as it could leave you overdosing in vitamin D supplements, leading to a range of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, headache, bone pain, weakness, apathy and even hardening of the arteries and osteoporosis.
