My husband and I found out recently that we are both Vitamin D deficient. We are both very pale, so we wear sunscreen when we're outside. I also had a melanoma that was thankfully caught early a few years back, which makes me extra careful about sun exposure.

Our doctors told us that nearly everyone who works indoors and wears sunscreen is likely Vitamin D deficient.

hmm a bit confused because as far as I am aware most foods in the west are fortified with vitamin D......

Yes, but they have recently discovered that the "daily recommended values" were much too low compared what one would normally get from sunshine...


I've noticed huge health improvements since starting Vitamin D Therapy last year...

And now they're gonna make it more expensive for tanning beds... Also... almost every time there's a clear day where I live they start aerial spraying which filters out some of the UV light that the body uses to produce vitamin D.

It seems like they haven't found a cure for anything not just cancer.... I think the last cure was decades ago... but they got a lot of treatment though... and all the treatments cause other problems. What a racket
