RE: New Study: Vitamin D Might Decrease Risk Of Cancer
I live in Canada. We have a huge lack of vit. d epidemic. I pay to have my levels checked 2 x a year. Usually Nov. and April, to make sure that I am keeping my levels in acceptable range. I have MS, another autoimmune disease, just like cancer is. When I was diagnosed my vit. d levels were checked and I had next to none. Now I take 5,000 iu a day, properly combined with fat and vit. k2, magnesium and calcium. I do other things as well, but can tell you that vit. d is exceptionally important and not many people talk about it. Thanks for posting this piece.

Due to the fact that I am technically healthy and not exhibiting symptoms because I'm in "remission", if I want to know how I am tracking, I have to pay for the test. I'm not complaining...it's important to me as a health indicator.
It's a blood test that our gov't stopped paying for unless it is ordered by an "Internist". In Ontario, it costs $35 per test.

An internist is a specialist who determines how your organs and body systems are working or not working together. Beyond your regular medical doctor. Yes, a simple blood test.
yes
The sun is your best source to manufacture vit D naturally. I STOPPED using sunscreen and refuse to sell it in my shop. I couldn't make one that didn't have titanium dioxide in it. I wear big hats and avoid direct exposure in peak times of the day.
