What does one with Hypercalcemia do? (When the body makes too much calcium.) I have drastically reduced my calcium intake, do not take a mutli vitamin and I LOVE being outdoors. I have a disease called Sarcoidosis and this is one of this things that comes along with it. Thanks!

Vitamin D is such a fascinating subject and it saddens me that I am unable to discuss this at all with most of my doctors. They just aren't interested and they just tell me not to worry about my D3 blood level test result of 15 ng/ml, i.e., they thought that such a level was not really that low.

Now, for something that may seem quite extreme, google up -- joe prendergast d3 . Incredible!

Dear samneed, Follow my comment to Heather in Australia with MS for your older brother, Follow the cilantro recipe. It worked on my dentist, Mitchell Marder, and took him down from 4,555 to 155 now for his mercury conciousness. Your brother's is 30,555 His IQ was 210 and is now 155. He has amalgam fillings on the last 2 molars on his lower left side. He is less toxic than Heather and needs 5 teaspoon of each supplement which will drop after a few weeks usage. He will have a significant improvement in his health, The supplements you mentioned he takes are not toxic or beneficial for him. Other manufacturers would be better. Find someone to dowse for you.

I am a type II diabetic, and had a foot infection a couple of years ago. The doctors made an incision on the bottom of my foot and cleaned out the infected tissue ( what I like to call a "foot canal"). They left the deep incision open so it would mend from the inside out.

It was very slow to heal, as is typical for diabetics, and six weeks went by and it was slowly healing, but still a draining open wound. The doctor was convinced that I needed partial amputation of the foot. He even called and scheduled surgery for this.

I went home and decided to take things into my own hands. I put a chair in the back yard, removed the bandages from my foot, and let direct sunlight hit the bottom of my foot for an hour each, for two consecutive days. I also tried to catch some rays with other areas of skin, to boost my overall vitamin D levels, as well as do some whole body "blood sterilization".

Almost miraculously, the third day my wound had completely healed shut, and the drainage stopped!!! The doctor was taken back by this, and even admitted his assumption that it would not heal, was wrong. He was sure it was going to require amputating a toe and also removing a bone from my foot.

I had one somewhat unusual advantage in that I am very nutrition conscious, and was doing everything I could to boost my nutrition to fight the infection also. At least I didn't have malnutrition to contend with too, as many diabetics unknowingly do.

But I'm convinced the sunlight probably played havoc with any pathogens in the wound, and the increased vitamin D played a significant part in overcoming the infection. It is also my understanding that sunlight hitting capilaries in my skin, also "whacks" many bad organisms in my blood stream.

Years of reading Dr. Mercolas web site has helped me tremendously in staying pretty healthy even with my type II diabetes. I am so grateful to have this information available. Many thanks!

Presently we are involved in a battle royal, over sunshine. One the one side we have those who make SUNSCREEN. On the other side we have those of us who know that sunshine is good for the body. But like any thing there is also too much of a good thing. So no sunburn. What we want is the beneficial sun exposure that helps keep us healthy.

BIG PHARMA has a stake in this as well, because a healthy poplus is not what BIG PHARMA wants. So they have created a sunscreen that blocks the very benefical sun rays that aid the body in creating Vitamin D, which helps the body to heal, and prevents some diseases. Also add to sunshine Vitamin D3.

Understand we also need a good spiritual posture, clean water, fresh air, SUNSHINE, sleep at the proper time, exercise, and a good diet, consistant of at least 85% raw whole foods. See www.hacres.com for more information.

I unfortunately suffered a spinal cord injury three years ago while I was at work. Ironically I was a physical and massage therapist and had a 500 pound weight machine fall over on me.

I still currently have neck pain most of which seems to be nerve pain. It is amazing though because I could be suffering from very excruciating pain and go outside into the sun.... within minutes of the hot sun beating down on my neck, I'm completely pain-free. It is the best 'medicine free' pain reliever.

It truly amazes me how much better I feel in warm and sunny weather! I could never give that up!

Have any of you tried wearing the UV protection clothing? There are great products available now that will keep the harsh sun off our faces, while we sun our bodies, and soak up the wonderful Vit. D. My husband and I live in the North East and spend a lot of time at the beach in the summer. We wear the UV protection caps and tee shirts found at www.sundition.com. Check it out!

I never had pres-cancerous lesions on my skin until I used sun-screen. I stopped using it a few years ago and recently started spending lots of time in my garden with much exposed skin. I sometimes wear a hat to protect my face (vanity). Since stopping the sun screen I have way fewer lesions. As usual,

the SUN is blamed for problems, instead of the artificial things that we do to ourselves - SUNSCREEN (more chemicals!) I realize that we are all different and I am not trying to be condemming or dogmatic - this is just my experience and something to be considered.

I've read in the mainstream press also that sunlight has beneficial effects. However, I must disagree strongly that skin cancer is "harmless" and not "life-threatening." That is an irresponsible statement. The mother of my college friend died of skin cancer, and it was a terrible death. She was diagnosed in February and died in October of that same year. My friend said her skin was so riddled with tumors that when she picked up her mother (no longer able to walk to the bathroom), it felt as though she had hundreds of nuts embedded under her skin. Skin cancer CAN kill you, and when it strikes, it often progresses very quickly. Don't throw away your sunblock--as with many things in life, the key is moderation.
