I have noticed that, thanks to the efforts of Dr John Cannell, many
mainstream docs in my area have begun to order Vitamin D tests and
supplement when found to be low.

Satellite Maps of the Sunlight on the Earth

Satellite maps of the earth showing UV Sunlight exposure correlate
with serum Vitamin D levels, and the farther north, the lower the
Vitamin D, and the higher the incidence of Cancer and Multiple
Sclerosis in our population. These NASA space satellite photos of
North America color coded for UV sun exposure can be seen on Dr.
Grant's Vitamin D Web Site.

Here, you will see a pattern remarkably similar to the incidence of
cancer and multiple sclerosis. This is thought to be due to
differences in Vitamin D levels. The farther north with less sun
exposure and lower Vitamin D levels, there is an increased incidence
of cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Diseases Caused by, or Associated With Vitamin D Deficiency:

Again here is the list: Osteoporosis, Hypertension, Cardiovascular
disease, Cancer, Depression, Epilepsy, Type One Diabetes, Insulin
resistance, Autoimmune Diseases, Migraine Headache, PolyCystic Ovary
Disease (PCOS), Musculoskeletal and bone pain, Psoriasis. Vitamin D
deficiency has been reported in 57% of 290 medical inpatients in
Massachusetts, 93% of 150 patients with overt musculoskeletal pain in
Minnesota, 48% of patients with Multiple Sclerosis, 50% of patients
with lupus and fibromyalgia, 42% of healthy adolescents, 40% of
African American Women, and 62 % of the morbidly obese, 83% of 360
patients with low back pain in Saudi Arabia, 73% of Austrian patients
with Ankylosisng Spondylitis, 58% of Japanese girls with Graves’s
Disease, 40% of Chinese adolescent girls, 40-70% of all Finnish
medical patients. (the above is from Dr Cannell newsletter)

Low Vitamin D in Florida?

Surprisingly, we have been seeing low vitamin D levels even here in
sunny Florida demonstrated by serum 25-OH Vit D blood testing. These
people avoid the sun for fear of skin cancer.
