Everywhere I turn, I hear the praises for Vitamin D being sung.Even this guy!
Soren Khalsa, a refreshingly unusual looking Beverly Hills doctor writes extensively about how wonderful it is.
From the LA Times:
Soram Khalsa is on a mission to get Americans to up their levels of Vitamin D. Why? To protect them against a myriad of illnesses, including cancers, heart disease and diabetes. He even had a patient from his who's-who-studded medical practice in Beverly Hills hand deliver a copy of his book, The Vitamin D Revolution, to Michelle Obama. "In the front, I wrote, 'Vitamin D can help the country's health-care crisis. Please contact me if you are interested' and included my phone number. I haven't heard from her yet, but..."He suggest taking it to boost the immune system during the flu season. He even ventures to say that it can "prevent" swine flu.
Vitamin D? Don't we get that from sunlight? I am so behind the times, glimpses of "sunlight in a jar" flit through my brain. Naa. Probably not.
But it was suggested for Shea. He seemed so weak and peaked after his last bout. I was nervous for him and asked at the Naturapath's office. She was singing the praises of Vitamin D too, "Boost that Vitamin D! Whenever I feel a little tickle in my throat or achy, I just power up on the D."
Ok. Now that is some advice I can follow but what about my picky, won't take vits, gotta hide everything or he will turn up his nose and refuse it boy.
Solution:
Bio-D-Mulsion Forte'. One drop is 2,000 IU. At it has really made a big difference right away.
His color is better and he seems stronger. I hide it in his morning hot chocolate.
Now if I could just find a mult- that I could hide so well.
What other immune-system strengthening measures are you taking this year? For yourself? For your kids?
