I am asmking if anyone knows of a lesser source of Vitamin D from lamps? I am talking "lesser" as compared with a full-borne tanning bed.. Such a device could be used as a provider of 'spot' Vitamin D therapy.

I know of lamps costing in the area of $200 which are obviously doing something--but is it Vitamin D?? Do any of the LED devices generate rays containing some degree of Vitamin D.

Such a device could be of great benefit for persons suffering with eczema or psoriasis when summer's sun has provided considerable relief in the past.. Vit D supplements seem not to have much effect.

Very interesting article. I am now considering going to my family doctor and asking to have a blood test to detect the level of Vitamin D in my body. I also suffer from an auto immune disease, my ANA being 640 which is excessivly high. My joints are also affected by this. I'm hoping that an increase in my Vit D intake will also assist in reducing the ANA level.
