Don't wear sunscreen and spend 20 or minutes in the sun, it helps.

Gave up sunscreen a couple years ago, that crap is dangerous.

also, listen to Dr. Mercola. he has nice tanning beds and vitamin D spray for sale.

Re: The Great Vitamin D conspiriacy
Don't wear sun block and try to limit sun exposure to 20 minutes a day. You should get enough vitamen D that way. I am convinced that sun block and Pop which leeches out calcium from the bones causes osteoporosis! By the way one of the main ingredients in Tamiflu is Star Anise! In fact the Chinese Minister of Health advised the people to cook with lots of it in order to stave off the flu! Amazing but not really. The Great Spirit put everything we need on this beautiful Planet. the only problem is that we are decimating it and have no idea what wonders are being lost from day to day!

Re: The Great Vitamin D conspiriacy
You have ONLY seen the TIP of the 'iceberg' !

In the EARLY 1930s, when vitamines were first being recognized/discovered, it was found that vitamine D helped with a "disease" called rickets ( actually from lack of D ).

They decided to force milk companies to add vitamine D to milk to stop 'rickets', or poor bone formation in children.

HOWEVER, at the time they did NOT KNOW there were FOUR D vitamines, D1, D2, D3 and D4. By shere accident (?) they picked D3 to add to milk, and it is the ONLY D vitamine that humans CAN'T absorb into their bodies.

It has NEVER BEEN CHANGED ! Ask you local dairy man like I did, where I have bought milk for 44 YEARS; he knows NOTHING about which D vitamine goes into his milk; ONLY that it does !

The 'Good Old Boys Science Group' just NEVER admits a MISTAKE OR, changes it when confronted !

Check it out. Prove me WRONG !

Re: The Great Vitamin D conspiriacy
I am a pale blue/green eyed blonde and i never wear sunblock - my family has been in Florida for several generations time ( and NO skin cancers in our family so far btw). My 73 year old mother swears people never got the skin cancers anywhere near as often as they do now that we are encouraged to slather yourself up with "protective" chemicals.

Re: The Great Vitamin D conspiriacy
You can "overdose" on vitamin D and cause some fairly nasty health issues.



Whenever I come across people purporting a "natural cure" I always keep this one in mind.




[link to www.denvernaturopathic.com]


This was a "natural cure" that was in most homes between 1915-1930



What finally convinced the public that this was not healthy thing to do was when several individual using it HAD THEIR JAWS ROT AWAY AND FALL OFF....they went on a national tour to towns across the nation to show people how dangerous it was.
 Quoting: Lastcall 678487



You can get 46% increased risk of lung cancer from beta-carotene (vitamin A)

And it blocks vitamin D which leads to hip fractures.

This is not snake oil. This is your body requiring its nourishment.


"In 1999, Vieth indirectly asked the medical community to produce any evidence 10,000 units of vitamin D a day was toxic, saying "Throughout my preparation of this review, I was amazed at the lack of evidence supporting statements about the toxicity of moderate doses of vitamin D." He added: "If there is published evidence of toxicity in adults from an intake of 250 ug (10,000 IU) per day, and that is verified by the 25(OH)D concentration, I have yet to find it." "

Re: The Great Vitamin D conspiriacy
Thoughts F.F. ... DID you read my contribution to this thread ?

If you had, AND believe me, no matter HOW MUCH D3 you take, the body will NOT absorb it.

Before most of your times here on Earth, there was on radio WOR from NY City a Dr. Carton Fredricks, who had a radio show five days a week, a proven track record on nutrition and vitamines and a LARGE following. My Mom was one. Because she had the radio on at lunch time to hear Dr Fredricks, I caught many of his shows. He sold/pushed NOTHING!

THAT is where I first heard about there being FOUR D vitamines, and how D3 was the WRONG one chosen to be added to milk. I have NO idea which ones are in vitamine pills and combined with calcium tables, so I can't go there.

Well I am hoping you are wrong because that is the one I bought today since I couldn't find good old fashioned cod liver oil, that was not tampered with.

I bout 240 caps of 1000 iu

Which is still probably not enough since I work nights, and am over 50, and if D3 is useless, well I am probably going to break a hip on the way to the frickin cancer clinic any time now.

If you read the research, vitamin D does a lot more than prevent the flu and colds. It's probably the single most essential vitamin supplement.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 465717


No C is because humans cant make their own like all other animals but they can make their own vitamin D in the sun

that means your statement is false and vitamin D is the second most essential vitamin supplement, second to C

i did read it Eagle :-) i don't drink milk at all because cannot stand the taste.
I'm in the sun a lot because i love to take outdoor photography, you'd think i'd get all i needed from that but nooooo lol.

I am going to call tomorrow and find out exactly what D is in the RX D supplements i am on, plus will look at the ones i take on the days i don't take the RX ones- my question to you is, what type should i be looking for? This has been an ongoing issue for over a year for me- they discovered the deficiency when i went in with complaints of extreme joint/muscle pain and lethargy.

WRONG! Milk contains D2, NOT D3. D3 is the absorbable form (cholecalciferol). But you are right in the the form in milk is not well absorbed because the body has to D2 to D3.

yeah if your just in the sun for 20 mins. If you work out in the sun every day..it wouldnt be a bad idea to use a little sun block

unless you like skin cancer



Use to work in the sun all day everyday for years, before sunscreen became a big deal, I'm a green-eyed, blond, no skin cancer here.

Re: The Great Vitamin D conspiriacy
One thing I have read about D3 supplements is if you need to take them they are best absorbed if taken along with C and E supplements.

THE thing I wonder about though, is when these figures like 10,000 iu, or whatever, are bantered about you hardly ever see anything about how these units are relative to body weight. Plenty of references to age, but hardly any comparisons to body weight. Just seems like to me that would be an important consideration when taking supplements, AND script meds.

Re: The Great Vitamin D conspiriacy
just drink lots of milk
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 666276

You'll still only get a fraction of what you need. In order to repel most sickness you need at least 50 ng/ml of blood. The average America is around 20. If you get above 60 ng/ml then you repel most cancers.

According to Dr. Eisenstein (www.homefirst.com), the average American adult should take at least 5,000 IU/day, children above 100 lbs. should take that amount too. If you have a chronic condition, you should be taking 10,000 IU/day. If you spend 15-20 min. in the sun with 40% body exposure between 10 am & 2 pm, you'll get about 15,000 IU.

I've been taking 10,000 IU/day all winter & I have not had one bought with the flu whereas usually I have at least 3 bouts of the flu & 1 spring cold.

The risk far outweighs any benefit as the risk will vary from child to child.

Something that would enhance the benefit of VitD and other supplements, is drinking one or two glasses of fresh juiced grapefruits, or a cantaloupe. New vitamins continue to be discovered in fruits and vegetables. Depending on what type produce juiced, you can get sleepy, or energetic! Just something to think about, something to add to your daily routine along with meals or snacks.
