I believe the reference is to commercial TV news or newspapers which tend to biased and distorted. Web 2.0 Internet communities, like Vital Votes, are an entirely different animal.

You need to read my new book out in next May or get the condensed report mentioned above. You were NOT designed to get ORAL vitamin D.

Will it help?

Certainly, BUT it has SERIOUS potential for overdose and when you CHEAT your body by swallowing it instead of obtaining it the way God designed your body to, then you are missing out on the benefits that have been associated with taking vitamin D.

Remember that virtually ALL the science is from NATURAL produced vitamin D from sunshine on unexposed skin, NOT oral vitamin D. It is a major logical fallacy that you and experts like Falloon and other are making. Take a shortcut and you will NOT receive the benefits.

Your concern about skin aging is simply addressed by improving your skin antioxidant levels and/or wearing a protective hat.

I don't believe using celebrities as an example proves your point at all as there are far more factors involved. Wealth achieved through providing appropriate value to the culture can provide enormous joy and satisfaction.

However when it is achieved through mechanisms such as winning the lottery or being a media star, the value is not authentic and thus the wealth reward is absolutely disproportionate to the happiness achieved. So in media celebrities you see far more of the lottery winner effect.

So It is NOT wealth but how the wealth that is obtained that is the crux of the equation.

With respect to happiness the wealth is a side effect of the journey to pursue it. THAT is what provides the joy and happiness. So if you cheat and take a shortcut you will not achieve the happiness you seek.

The more accurate question is when are my good readers ever going to use my search engine. If you had done so you would have seen I have written about this many times.

Isn't it great when people make assumptions? If you knew my family you would realize that obesity runs rampant in my family and one of my sister's is 150 pounds overweight. I am NOT skinny as a rail as if you saw a picture of me with my shirt off you would see I have a significant amount of both upper and lower body muscular development.

But the KEY is that I am my optimal weight because I eat correctly for my nutritional type and exercise appropriately. If I chose not to follow this course like you did, than I would easily be 70 pounds or more overweight.

Paul Bragg was one AMAZING guy. Probably the health guru of the 21st century. I can't think of any more influential person in spreading the health message in the 20th century than Paul Bragg.

Looks like you have failed to do your homework on fluoride. Please review the hundreds of pages of well documented research that are on this site regarding fluoride.

re re: re: Scientists Admit -- Sun Exposure Benefits Outweigh Risks

Dr. Mercola — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 04:53:40 GMT

I have never advised excessive sun exposure. You always need to use exposure wisely. You also need to folow the Take Control of Your Health Program and be eating well.

The evidence is abundantly clear, appropriate sun exposure RADICALY decreases your risk of DEADLY caners that will kill you. Squamous cell cancers rarely do any serious damage if treated early on.

Amazing how some people like you could believe me about nutritional issues but be so skeptical about these types of topics. Really amazing. However, that is the reality. One of my gifts is the ability to identify problems years or decades before they are commonly apreciated. This is an area where I have invested much time in analysis and am writing a book on the topic. I am confident that in the next five to ten years, the data will support the early and strong evidence supporting my contentions.

Just love "malicious brilliance"
