I find this post very interesting! Im going to do some more research to see what I can find supporting this. Vitamin D3 is SO IMPORTANT in terms of protecting us against illnesses. Its a good idea for everyone to have their Vitamin D3 levels checked and supplement appropriately if your levels are low. Im a firm believer that the RDA for D3 is woefully low in terms of immune support and protection. There are many studies out there suggesting we need a great deal more. If youre deficient, do some research to determine what a correct amount should be for you! Laura :) #SynergisticHealthSolutions .org Carrie Millerman Elsass Said: So we all know that low Vitamin D levels are linked to many chronic illnesses, including cancer, right? And Americans are pretty universally low in this hormone. My belief is that supplementing is really not the best answer. I happened across some literature stating that washing with soap within 48 hrs of sun exposure hampers the bodys ability to manufacture D. So for the past few months, I have not used soap most days on my forearms and sometimes my calves. Dont worry, I am still ALWAYS using soap on all the important parts;) When I got my once-a-decade labs drawn a couple of weeks ago, the nurse practitioner was astounded- I NEVER see normal readings without supplementation. What are you DOING? And for a person with serious autoimmune illness(for 3 decades now I might add), my labs look pretty astounding in general. Just passing it along, folks. Take it for what its worth.
