The degree of fear and paranoia regarding the sun is at its zenith
MEET AND GREET THE ELITE The degree of fear and paranoia regarding the sun is at its zenith (ha ha) within the academic halls of dermatology. Picture this: pots of church incense and wafts of sweet smoke, a small group of cloistered, fully frocked, “priests” donning freshly laundered lab coats so long that tiny, highly-trained, […]

Universal intake of up to 40,000 IU vitamin D per day is unlikely to result in vitamin D toxicity
Here’s what Dr Garland’s study found: Results: Serum 25(OH)D rose as a function of self-reported vitamin D supplement ingestion in a curvilinear fashion, with no intakes of 10,000 IU/d or lower producing 25(OH)D values above the lower-bound of the zone of potential toxicity (200 ng/ml). Un-supplemented all-source input was estimated at 3,300 IU/d. The supplemental […]
The Hallowed IOM’s Conclusions and Recommendations on Vitamin D Intake.
Sometimes the bias is transparent like in the hallowed IOM’s conclusions and recommendations on vitamin D intake.

Yet they only addressed adequate for everyone for bone health. […]
THE DEADLY CANCERS THAT SUNLIGHT/VITAMIN D PROTECT US FROM
THE DEADLY CANCERS THAT SUNLIGHT/VITAMIN D PROTECT US FROM To infer causality is to satisfy certain stringent requirements called the Bradford Hills Criteria. Dr Gillie explains to us that the Bradford Hill requirement is met in regard to low vitamin D3 levels and certain cancers: establishing that insufficient vitamin D3 and/or insufficient sunlight is […]

You […]

TAN NEVER BURN
TAN NEVER BURN SUNLIGHT, VITAMIN D3 & SKIN CANCER RETURN OF RA, SOL INVICTUS, OR ANY OTHER SUN GOD I decided in my infinite non-wisdom, that I should stop talking about pharmaceuticals for a while and discuss something relevant to the here and now, (not that pharmaceuticals are not relevant to the here and […]
