Spring is here! Get some sun or take your vitamin D pills!
In order to help spread the word, I have written an article that was published on HuffingtonPost.com. I received great feedback from several other bloggers and entering the blogosphere is exciting for me as a physician!
In the best of all worlds, you will ask me to get a Vitamin D level (if I don’t bring it up) the next time you see me, and we can exactly define your correct Vitamin D dose and bring you up to optimal levels.
But in the meantime, until your next visit to me, please start yourself (if you are not already) on 1,000 International Units (IU) of Vitamin D per day, which you can get from our dispensary (or from the health food store).
Recent articles have shown that Vitamin D dramatically stimulates the expression of anti-microbial peptides which are in our white cells as well as the cellular lining of our respiratory tract, where they play a major role in protecting the lungs from infection. This study shows that Vitamin D either derived from sunlight or pills, reduces the incidence of respiratory infections.
In summary, please take your Vitamin D!

A friend read your article on Vitamin D and suggested that at least try the Vitamin and I am happy to say I have been taking 1000 iu a day of Vitamin D and after reading your article I have not been having pain in my neck and knees. which is a god send….
thank you for your book.
Sincerely, Bonnie
