Vitamin D
is perhaps the single most underrated nutrient in the world of
nutrition.
That's probably because it's free....
Your
body makes it when sunlight touches your skin !!
Drug
companies can't sell you sunlight, so there's no promotion of its
health benefits..
The truth is, most people don't know the
real story on "vitamin D and
health."
So here's an overview taken from an
interview between Mike Adams and Dr.Michael Holick.
◆ 1.
Vitamin D is produced by your
skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural
sunlight.
◆ 2. The healing rays of natural sunlight
(that generate vitamin D in your
skin) cannot penetrate glass.
So you don't generate vitamin D
when sitting in your car or home.
◆ 3. It is nearly
impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D
from your diet. Sunlight exposure is the only reliable way to
generate vitamin D in your own
body.
◆ 4. A person would have to drink ten tall
glasses of vitamin D fortified
milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D
into their diet.
◆ 5. The further you live from the
equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate
vitamin D. Canada, the UK and
most U.S. States are far from the equator.
◆ 6. People
with dark skin pigmentation may need 20 - 30 times as much
exposure to sunlight as fair-skinned people to generate the same
amount of vitamin D.
That's
why prostate cancer is epidemic among black men -- it's a simple, but
widespread, sunlight deficiency.
◆ 7. Sufficient levels
of vitamin D are crucial for
calcium absorption in your intestines. Without sufficient vitamin D,
your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering calcium supplements
useless.
◆ 8. Chronic vitamin D
deficiency cannot be reversed overnight: it takes months of vitamin D
supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body's bones and
nervous system.
◆ 9. Even weak sunscreens (SPF=8)
block your body's ability to generate vitamin D
by 95%. This is how sunscreen products actually cause disease
-by creating a critical vitamin deficiency in the body.
◆
10. It is impossible to generate too much vitamin D
in your body from sunlight exposure: your body will self-regulate and
only generate what it needs.
◆ 11. If it hurts to press
firmly on your sternum(chest/breast bone), you may be suffering from
chronic vitamin D deficiency
right now.
◆ 12. Vitamin D
is "activated" in your body by your kidneys and liver
before it can be used.
◆ 13. Having kidney disease or
liver damage can greatly impair your body's ability to activate
circulating vitamin D.
◆
14. The sunscreen industry doesn't want you to know that your body
actually needs sunlight exposure because that realization would mean
lower sales of sunscreen products.
◆ 15. Even though
vitamin D is one of the most
powerful healing chemicals in your body, your body makes it
absolutely free. No prescription required.

Other powerful antioxidants with this ability include the
super
fruits like Pomegranates (POM Wonderful juice),
Acai,
Blueberries, etc.
~ Diseases and conditions
cause by vitamin D deficiency:
●
Osteoporosis is commonly caused by a lack of vitamin D,
which greatly impairs calcium absorption.
● Sufficient
vitamin D prevents
prostate
cancer,
breast cancer,
ovarian cancer,
depression,
colon cancer and
schizophrenia..
● "Rickets"
is the name of a bone-wasting disease caused by vitamin D
deficiency.
● Vitamin D
deficiency may exacerbate type 2
diabetes and impair insulin production in the pancreas.
●
Obesity impairs vitamin D
utilization in the body, meaning obese people need twice as much
vitamin D.
●
Vitamin D is used around the
world to treat Psoriasis(a chronic skin disease).
●
Vitamin D deficiency can cause
~
schizophrenia.
● Seasonal Affective Disorder is
caused by a melatonin imbalance initiated by lack of exposure to
sunlight.
● Chronic vitamin D
deficiency is often misdiagnosed as "fibro myalgia" because
its symptoms are so similar: *lmuscle weakness, aches and pains.
●
Your risk of developing serious diseases like diabetes and cancer is
reduced 50% - 80% through simple, sensible exposure to
natural sunlight 2-3 times each week.
● Infants
who receive vitamin D
supplementation (2000 units daily) have an 80% reduced
risk of developing type 1 diabetes over the next twenty years.
💥 Shocking
Vitamin D deficiency statistics:
¶ 32%
of doctors and med school students are vitamin D
deficient.
¶ 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin

of African American women of childbearing age are deficient in

¶
76% of pregnant mothers are severely vitamin D

deficiencies in their unborn children, which predisposes them to type
1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple
sclerosis and schizophrenia later in life. 81% of the children
born to these mothers were deficient.

nursing home patients are vitamin D
deficient
