Re: Sunlight and back problems Dear Wayne, The work part is optional, actually. The body creates Vitamin D from sunlight. Vitamin D allows calcium to be absorbed from food. Bones are built out of calcium. Therefore, sunlight cures back problems. Best of health! Dr. Saul Pressman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 What do you do in Vancouver, or in NYC, where the winters are grey?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I hadn't heard that about the sweat. Is it just the moisture or something else? I long ago read a neat book called Sunlight by Zane Kime, MD. I just looked in the index and it doesn't mention sweat. I have often wondered whether profuse sweat is normal or not? J.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 We go away to Hawaii in January:) Seriously, the really nice thing about the lower mainland is that even though our winters are dark and damp and rainy, we will have stretches of beautiful weather in Feburary that have people out in shorts it is so warm. So although the dark parts seem really long, there are breaks for us here. I am going to get a SAD light next year for in the spa room so as people undress and dress to get into the sauna, they will get full spectrum light on their skin for a little bit too. Can't hurt.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I have never and would never give my daughter cod liver oil. Just the name itself sounds repulsive The oil from the liver of cod....... yik anyway, we're in Florida so lots of light perhaps. But I do know that in winter months the sun is closer to you as we're on an angle, etc and I've heard of sunburns in the winter and sun tans on a cloudy day. Marlie is healthy I think..

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I thought vitamin D3 was almost always of animal origin. According the VRG (http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/faqingredients.htm): What is the difference between vitamin D2 and D3? D-2 (ergocalciferol) is derived from yeast, while D-3 (cholecalciferol) is derived from lanolin (from sheep) or fish. D-2 and D-3 are both used to fortify milk and other dairy products. Some D-3 vitamin supplements are made with fish oil. D-3 can also be produced by plants and fungi, but this isn't as common as using lanolin or fish as a source. What plant-based sources of vitamin D3 have you found? Please do share, as I am most interested in this. My husband has been taking vitamin D2 supplements but was advised to take D3, which he will not do because the only sources we have found are of animal origin. Thanks! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
