Loading ...Dr. Joseph Mercola – The Crucial Role of Vitamin D in Physical and Mental Health
“For decades, the conventional medical establishment and media have downplayed if not entirely ignored evidence showing that sun exposure is a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle that prevents, as opposed to creates, diseases — including cancer.”
‘Thankfully, Geddes also accurately notes that vitamin D supplements do not confer the same benefits as sun exposure, and that your (blood serum) vitamin D level is a biomarker of sun exposure, which is something I’ve been stressing for quite some time. Never in the history of mankind have we relied on pills for vitamin D production, and there’s no evidence to suggest that it would be wise to do so.’
I have believed in Vitamin C and D for decades…but if suppliments dont work what are we supposed to do up here ?
There is almost NO sun for 5 months here and when we do get some sun it’s minus 30 so you cand go out and soak up some rays
sheesh
You can have your blood tested for Vitamin D levels. This article suggests a bare minimum level of 40 ng/ml, but recommends 60-80 ng/ml for optimum health.
It might be interesting to check it during the winter and summer seasons.
There are some foods that naturally rich in Vitamin D3, including oily fatty fish, beef, liver, and eggs.
Getting a little sun exposure on your skin when you can is usually a good thing, even on sunny days during the winter months. It also makes you feel good.
Freshly fallen snow reflects 80% of UV radiation, including the UVB rays which produce Vitamin D when absorbed by the skin. I suppose that you could try skiing naked on warm sunny winter days!
Having lived in Florida and vacationed there in winters, I became aware that there are many Canadians who spend the winter months there (like the birds).
Part of the reason for the lockdowns during Covid was to keep people inside and away from the sun. They wanted people to get sick and die.
Yes, I agree. Also, they wanted to instill fear in people about a supposedly deadly virus that has not been proven to exist in the natural world. This created a pandemic of fear.
I am not saying that people were not getting sick in certain cities with high populations densities. However, this could easily be explained by man-made environmental in the air and/or water.
Furthermore, the refusal by the medical cartel to prescribe life-saving antibiotics for patients with serious bacterial infections suggests a world-wide conspiracy.
Correction – ‘man-made environmental’ should be ‘man-made environmental toxins’
