We can no  longer believe that vitamin D is  important only
in relation to our bones.

Dr. John Cannell, a leading authority on
Vitamin D3 has revealed some alarming
facts on his website. He has warned that
vitamin D3 deficiency is a major factor
in at least 17 varieties of cancer, plus heart
disease, stroke, high blood pressure, auto-
immune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic
pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness,
muscle loss, birth defects, periodontal disease and more.

Each of the above has had extensive research to support the
facts he has presented.

Please see news article at end of this post showing that
Vitamin D is important for preventing Swine Flu.

The doctor has written two papers on the epidemics of the flu and
vitamin D3.  The latest research demands that we recognize the
importance of vitamin D3 for prevention of any type of infection.

He recommends taking 5,000 IU per day for 3 months – then
obtaining a test and adjusting dosage so that blood levels
remain between 50-60ng/ml.

Another researcher in Ireland demonstrated that vitamin D
acts to help prevent and even treat age-related brain disorders.

In Australia, findings supported the fact that avoiding the sun
contributed to  the epidemic of type 2 diabetes.

In Minnesota researchers found that 100 % of patients
admitted for fragility fractures (not caused by injury)
were dangerously  low in vitamin D levels, even though
some were taking vitamin D supplements.

Women with low vitamin D blood levels were five times
more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer.

And south Korean researchers found a connection between a vitamin D
deficiency and Parkinson’s.

English researchers discovered that patients with chronic pain have
very low levels of vitamin D.

With the body needing vitamin D for so many different bodily functions,
and people spending so little time in the sun, it is easy to see why
osteopenia and osteoporosis are on the rise.  We definitely do not get
enough of this important factor for healthy bones.

The recent studies have encouraged many integrative doctors to
recommend between 4000 and 5000 units per day.  They point to the
fact that previous generations in our country spent much more time
in the sun than we do now, which is one reason why we have such a
great increase in chronic illness and bone problems.

Puritan Pride is a recommended supplier of all natural Vitamin D3
products.  I have used their products for many years and highly
recommend them  to you for quality and price.
