Over the long term, this may even result in certain cancers, diabetes and high blood pressure.

D3 drops w/calcium. &nbsp;His level is now 33 after only four weeks, and his numbness went completely away after only 10 days. &nbsp;I am wondering if vitamin D deficiency has been the culprit to his central nervous system disorder this entire time. &nbsp;Does anyone know if deficient levels could cause lesions?</p> <p>Blessings,</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=188916" width="1" height="1">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/09/20/vitamin-d-deficiency-part-two.aspx#188915Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:56:43 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:188915conniejean<p>My 11 year old son has had a central nervous system disorder since 2005. &nbsp;He still remains undiagnosed. &nbsp;His first MRI revealed over 20 lesions on his brain, and three on his spine. &nbsp;He lost all muscle control and was reduced to an infant. &nbsp;After several weeks in the hospital, we finally took him home in a wheelchair. &nbsp;We counseled with a ND and put him on a raw fruit diet with several herbal remedies. &nbsp;To make a long story short, my son is now 11 and you would never know he was unable to walk, eat, brush his teeth or scratch his nose or even see straight. &nbsp;The lesions have healed, accept for a small one on his spine. &nbsp;We are still working on that with natural healing. &nbsp;He is not on any medication with the acception of IVIG (human donor T-Cells). &nbsp;He had a slight relaps in Jan. 09, but minor compared to 2005. &nbsp;His doctors are still amazed at his healing. &nbsp;They still have not acknowledged that his healing could have been from the detox and herbs. &nbsp;I know that&#39;s what healed him. &nbsp;He has also had a cyst on his kidney for quite sometime. &nbsp;MD&#39;s are not concerned, but I am.... we recently had it measured through ultra-sound and it&#39;s shrinking - now under 2cm. &nbsp;I am thrilled and will continue to use natural medicine to heal my son, not TREAT him. &nbsp;Blessings to all!</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=188915" width="1" height="1">
