vitamin D

What about sitting in the shade to get sun -- How long for getting results then - Ssy you just want to be outside in the air and read a book. Is the still benefit.

Is it too much D

In nursing school I was taught that Vit D, along w/ 3 more, I think A and E and ? ( it was a long time ago )was fat soluable instead of being water soluable and therefore is difficult to get rid of and can become toxic. Is this just "old school", my MD has me taking 20,000 iu one time weekly, because I'm so low. If I miss one, my pain increases- (am I just nuts) or is there any info related to that?

Does your body store the vitamin from the sun?? Or does it leave the body like vitamin c??

Vitamin D Deficiency

A dearth of sunlight (be it the winter, or you living in a less than tropical climate) can be counterbalanced by a few glasses of milk or daily vitamins.

Cancer & Sun Exposure

I wouldn't say that more people are getting skin cancer more today than in the past because another reason could be that not that many cases were reported because they might not have known it was cancer.

Great Recomendations!!

Luckily Spring is almost here and we can get back out in the sun!!

I used a good combination of different stamps here and watercolour pencils. (birth certificate is also required). The ceremony was in the beautiful Carolean suite with the meal held at one big table in the Latymer restaurant. If the bride is pregnant, no parental consent is required if you submit a statement from a licensed physician certifying that the bride is pregnant. Bahamas: If you are under 18, you will need parental consent.
