It’s gotta be the right UV. UVA won’t do squat.

I’m gonna make one more comment, not specifically directed at you:

Listen folks, we’ve heard all the stuff about Vitamin D being poisonous, yada yada blah blah...

But there have been clinical cases of accidental overdoses that were in the MILLIONS OF UNITS PER DAY that went on for MONTHS BEFORE ANY SYMPTOMS WERE OBSERVED, AND THE SYMPTOMS STOPPED WHEN THE OVERDOSING STOPPED.

We also continuously hear about getting it from the sun. I’m certainly not going to say you NEVER get it from the sun, but for the UVB to get through the atmosphere, the sun has to be within about 30 degrees of the zenith. in the continental US I would guestimate that this happens LESS THAN TWO MONTHS PER YEAR, AND ONLY FOR THE SOUTHERN LATITUDES.

You can go to the drugstore and get a bottle of 1000IU Vit D for like 3 bucks.

And because Vitamin D has been shown to regulate the copying of DNA in the cells to prevent errors, VITAMIN D HAS BEEN SHOWN UNARGUABLY TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A LARGE NUMBER OF CANCERS!

Vitamin D won’t kill you, but COLON CANCER WILL!

If Vitamin D were all that dangerous, OUR STREETS WOULD BE LINED WITH DEAD MAILMEN!

Go to the store and DO IT TODAY! The life you save MAY BE YOUR OWN!

/end rant/

Excellent rant. A couple of weeks ago my endocrinologist told me to increase my vit D from 400 to 2000. Living in Washington state I don't have to worry about getting too much from the sun, at least in the winter time. Summers, at 2000' in the Cascades can get a bit warm.
