Supplements.
However, you probably get enough sun to provide vitamin D taking out
the garbage twice a week. You only need 5-30 minutes or something
like that.

Institute of Medicine Has Announced the Next Vit D Food and Nutrition
Board. Guess Who is Left Out?
Vitamin D has been called the ³buzz² vitamin of 2008. Itıs early 2009
and current medical research demonstrating the benefits of optimal
vitamin D supplementation is still coming in. Vitamin D has now been
found to help diminish age-related mental decline, and vitamin D
deficiency is linked to erythropoietic protoporphyria
photosensitivity, a metabolic disorder characterized by a deficiency
of a particular enzyme in the blood, which causes excessive amounts of
the chemical compound protoporphyrin to accumulate in the bone marrow,
blood plasma, and red blood cells. The major symptom of this disorder
is hypersensitivity of the skin to sunlight and some types of
artificial light. After exposure to light, the skin may become itchy
and red. Affected individuals may also experience a burning sensation
on their skin. The January 2009 Life Extension printed an eloquent
article by Bill Faloon citing the research and giving a myriad of
reasons to supplement with Vitamin D.
A quiet announcement by the governmentıs Institute of Medicine (IOM)
recently announced the members of the next Vitamin D Food and
Nutrition Board (FNB). This committee will set recommendations for
both adequate intake and upper limits for the next decade. According
to the founder of the Vitamin D Council, John J. Cannell, MD,
³Unfortunately, the scientists who have led the vitamin D revolution
for the last ten years are all excluded.² Dr. Cannellıs list of
excluded vitamin D experts is long: Drs. Vieth, Giovannucci, Garland,
Hollis, Heaney, Wagner, Norman, Hankinson, Whitting, and Hanley, among
others. Many of the excluded experts have used strong language to
criticize the Institute of Medicine.
The Food and Nutrition Board believes that adequate intake of vitamin
D is the same for the largest pregnant women as for the smallest
premature infant, a notion that is patently absurd. Keep in mind that
animal studies have demonstrated vitamin D deficiency cause neuronal
injury and autistic-like changes in the brains of their offspring.
According to Dr. Cannell, ³Current research indicates that vitamin D
deficiency plays a role in causing 17 varieties of cancer as well as
heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes,
depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle
weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, and periodontal disease.²
Colleen Hayes, PhD of U of Wisconsin, who has done ground-breaking
research on MS and Vitamin D, states that residents at the equator,
where vitamin D deficiency is unknown, get the equivalent of 5000 IU
of vitamin D daily. (Consult a knowledgeable physician to determine by
a blood test whether you need vitamin D supplementation.)
We deserve to hear from our nationıs experts about vitamin D. Click
here to send a letter to your Congressional Representative and Senator
to insure that all experts are consulted by the government about an
important nutrient, vitamin D, to keep you healthy. And that the
government inform the public about the revolution in vitamin D
research. Imagine for a moment that vitamin D were a new drug. The
government (along with drug companies) would shout from the rooftops
about it.
