As you know, getting the right amount of vitamin D treats and prevents a variety of ailments and diseases, including:

• Protection against multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Prevention of diabetes
• Signals colon, breast and prostate cells to stop growing and eventually succumb to programmed cell death

Sunshine is your best source of Vitamin D. Unfortunately, most of you simply don't receive the daily amounts of vitamin D you need to stay healthy. Hopefully as a reader of this site it is not due to ignorance and you still don't believe the broken rhetoric that so-called experts continue to burn into their brains: avoid all sun exposure.

Fortunately we are in the midst of a radical revision of vitamin D understanding. The leading vitamin D scientists in the world have changed their position within the last few years and have started the warning sirens that most of traditional medicine was dead wrong when it comes to sun avoidance.

If you want to learn more about the healthy, healing benefits of the sun throughout history and what it can do for you today, consider Dr. Richard Hobday's book, The Healing Sun. Hobday's book is an important tool that will help you bring the benefits of sunlight into your lives safely.

As a matter of fact, statistics show that avoiding the sun has likely caused an extra 50,000 cancers per year, and that is just cancer deaths. It does not include heart disease or autoimmune diseases like MS or rheumatoid arthritis.

That's why I recommend maintaining your optimal vitamin D levels by taking a high quality cod liver oil regularly from now until early spring.
