This is a bit longish, but has some very interesting implications for many
health conditions.

Here is an in-depth online lecture 'Vitamin D Pandemic and Its Health
Consequences'. The lecture was presented by Professor and vitamin D scholar
Michael Holick in the 34th European Symposium on Calcified Tissues last
year.

It's perhaps worth noting that this is about a "Vitamin D *Deficiency*
Pandemic...."

Since I'm on dial-up I don't do long downloads, but I do get lots of
Vitamin D. :)

That's good. It's too bad you couldn't see the video. Essentially he
blames many illnesses on lack of vitamin D, and he does believe the problem
is extremely widespread. The lecture is amusing with lots of clever
slides, and he cites study after study after study. The guy is no quack.
He made a lot of sense to me.

It's not as though he is selling anything, and it doesn't cost anything to
get just a little more sunshine. He recommends 15 minutes a day. Also he
is a professor of dermatology at Boston U school of medicine, and he claims
there are dramatic improvements in psoriasis from vitamin D, as well as
claiming that vitamin D deficiency leads to drastically higher rates of
diabetes in children. He tells you exactly how much we need, and warns
against overexposure due to skin cancer.

Both Heaney and Vieth have lectures buried on the web
on this topic. These are the other big name researchers on the topic.

I suppose I should hunt them down and repost them.
I skipped the visual aid and just listen to the lectures
I also am still on dial-up.

G'day G'day Evelyn,

I've come to look forward to your recent posts. They're so often
informative. Sadly even though I'm on broadband this one won't
download for me.

I was particularly looking forward to it thanks to the scare over
supplements shortening life expectancy. A friend had asked me last
week if it applied to cod liver oil. I had to explain that I didn't
have off the cuff answers for every nutritional question. Some things
one has to go and look up.

Best wishes,

Hi Quentin,

Thank you for the kind comments. I wish I did have that talk in a
transcript form, but unfortunately it is only available as a video. I
frequent several newsgroups. That particular bit was found on an
osteoporosis support forum, but often I find goodies of interest here on
soc.retirement as well. If I do find something that might apply to us as
diabetics, I will often share it here.

I hope you are well...... ?

I look forward to it. Your comments attract me as being well reasoned
and worth reading. I particularly liked the ones you made on senile
dementia. It is outside my experience thankfully so it made
interesting reading.

>I hope you are well...... ?

I'm to have a tad minor surgery on Friday thanks to a dark spot that
has appeared on my skin. It is something I'd missed thanks to the
awkward location of the bathroom mirror. Others had noticed it but
were too polite to mention it besides they assumed others had noticed
so no one said anything. It is a phenomena that many of us are
familiar with. The worst mistake would be to be cross with them for
not mentioning it. Its a very human error.

The good news is it is not growing rapidly. My GP will do the surgery
and I know from experience that he is extremely capable.

Apart from that what did you think of the play Mrs Lincoln?

Well the immunoglobulin G that is a marker for the rogue activity in
the bone marrow is lower (safer) than the previous time it was
measured. So that means I am not likely to be needing more chemo for
a while. All in all I'm OK.

Thank you.
