Book Reviews of The Healing Sun: Sunlight and Health in the 21st Century
Book Review: Laughable information about vitamin D supplementation
Summary: 2 Stars
2400IU of D3 per day might create
The author really needs to look at the real study and not the one fudged by the FDA.
Want to learn the real deal about Vitamin D Check out:
1-Dr. John Cannell on vitamin D
2-Robert P. Heaney MD (Creighton University Professor)
3-The vitamin D council
4-Cedric Garland, Dr. P.H.D
and I pass
In a new study, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used a complex computer prediction model to determine that intake of vitamin D3 and magnesium would prevent 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer annually in the US and Canada. The researchers model also predicted that 75% of deaths from these cancers could be prevented with adequate intake of vitamin D3

Good Read: The Calcium Bomb: The Nanobacteria Link to Heart Disease & Cancer
and the The Calcium Lie: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know Could Kill You.
To top is all off sunblocks are the one responsible for the increase of the incidence of skin cancer
cooking carcinogens on your skin is definitely not a good idea.
Recurrence of breast cancer for women taking 5000IU of Vitamin D3 and magnesium is laughable compare to
groups not taking vitamin D. the American Cancer Society forgot to tell you that one as they need your money
and give you pink ribbon. Do not take my word for it do you research.
One thing that I agree with is that the benefits of the sun far outweigh the whole media created hysteria about UVA's and UVB's.
Let me quote some article from the vitamin D council:
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."
Like most medication, cholecalciferol is certainly toxic in excess, and, like Coumadin, is used as a rodent poison for this purpose. Animal data indicates signs of toxicity can occur with ingestion of 0.5 mg/kg (20,000 IU/kg ), while the oral LD50 (the dose it takes to kill half the animals) for cholecalciferol in dogs is about 88 mg/kg, or 3,520,000 IU/kg. This would be equivalent to a 110-pound adult taking 176,000,000 IU or 440,000 of the 400 unit cholecalciferol capsules.
Vieth reports human toxicity probably begins to occur after chronic daily consumption of approximately 40,000 IU/day (100 of the 400 IU capsules). Heavy sun exposure when combined with excessive supplement use is a theoretical risk for vitamin D toxicity, but if such a case has been reported, I am not aware of it.
Physician ignorance about vitamin D toxicity is widespread. A case report of four patients appeared in the 1997 Annals of Internal Medicine, accompanied by an editorial warning about vitamin D toxicity. However, careful examination of the patients reveals that both papers are a testimony to the fact that incompetence about vitamin D toxicity can reach the highest levels of academia.
Please do some serious research before taking what you read for granted and as proven science.
Peace, great health and long life to you all
