Book Review: The Vitamin D Cure
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't bought the book yet, but am planning to order it today. I wanted to let everyone know that for 10 years I have had very bizarre immune system issues. I have been to 2 different endocrinologists, internists, allergy doctor etc. ad infinium.... and am on thyroid medicine. 6 weeks ago a new endocrinologist actually looked at my Vitamin D levels and said they were non-existant..and immediately put me on 50,000 iu of Vitamin D every other week. I can't EXPRESS fully how amazing this has been!!!!! It's like I feel like I'm on the road to getting my LIFE back, I was so exhausted and just felt REALLY REALLY old, like I'm 80 instead of 52, and felt I was in a downhill spiral....with no end. I'm getting the book to fill in the blanks...I want you all to know, he's NOT wrong!! I haven't read the book yet, just the excerpt on line, but I feel that 10 years of hell is finally coming to an end...and not the way I expected, (in a coffin.) Thanks for reading this, if you have any doubts...go to a Dr...and get them to test your vitaminD!!!Book Review: MUST READ HEALTH BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a retired person who reads many "health" books each month. This is one of the three best health books I have read in the past six months, and that is saying a lot! I was diagnosed by my doctor as being low in Vitamin D (a 22, when we should be much higher). Aside from the stunning fact that a conventional doctor " actually caught a vitamin deficiency, I was shocked that I, a vitamin chomper of the first order, could be deficient in any nutrient. I got Dr. Dowd's book to check up on my own doctor's recommendation and realized she was more than right. In the bargain, I learned about this incredible steroid and its importance to our entire body. This information is crucial because most of us are very careful to "protect" ourselves from the sun. I did,--very successfully apparently. I am recommending this book to many friends and relatives for its relevance to cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and a host of medical conditions.Book Review: Excellent Book

I read this last year after my doctor put me on Vitamin D (level was 23 now 50). Actually at first I couldn't find it in the store and had to order on line. But when I got the book I was glad. Detailed information on why Vitamin D is good for you along with case studies. While sure, the *diet* he gives is really not necessary at least 80% of the book is not about the diet and has tons of good information on dose; problems vitamin d can solve (with associated chapters), and other vitamins you should take.
As for me, haven't noticed too much (was in good shape) but I have noticed my BP is very low, much lower than 5 years ago. Also, my body temperature has risen from 98 and below (as normal) to 98.6 and sometimes a bit more. I believe that Vitamin D is responsible for curing my cold sensitivity and perhaps may do something for weight loss given how my body temperature has risen.
Buy this book and take vitamin D.
Book Review: Life Changing!
Summary: 5 Stars
Not going to make this too long....... I agree with all the other positive reviews on this one. I had terible hip pain ( could hardly manage walking) at the age of 39!!!! Diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency ( blood levels 18!!!!) and started on 5000 iu of vitamin D and 1200 calcium citrate per day for 4 months. After 3 days felt almost 90 % better! I could not believe it! I picked up Dr. Dowd's book on a whim. Boy am I glad I did. WIth his reccommendations I have lost 40 pounds and can finally get out of bed and up the stairs pain free! I HIGHLY encourage you to by this book. A true eye opener and life saver!!!!!! P.S. I am now 40 and since statring on this "life style" change of eating I even look younger( or so I have been told). I was carded last night while ordering a drink!Book Review: Great book, buy it....you won't be sorry

I am really pleased to have found a book written by a Doctor that anyone can actually follow. I have suffered from what they called "fibromyalgia" for years and a simple blood test for Vitamin D showed that I was actually suffering from a severe deficiency of Vitamin D in my body. I wanted to know more regarding this problem so I got online and found this book written by Dr. Dowd. Very basic info, but right to the point of how to care and treat this deficiency. I would recommend that if anyone is questioning or having a health issue such as this, buy this book.....it is a good one. Thank you for such an informative book that has given me my life back.
