"Dr. Mathis says half the nation's adolescents are Vitamin-D deficient. And he says darker skinned people especially should be checked because their skin blocks almost 99-percent of the UV-rays coming through."

Is your state banning under 18 to tan? Are they going to advocate getting your child outside to play a sport during the early fall or late spring to make up for it? Is your child a brainiac and not getting sun? Is your child 14 and extremely book smart and doesn't play sports? Who is making sure they get outside to get the vitamin D they need? I had a mother bring her daughter in since she was 15..... she is now driving herself to visit us and going off on a scholorship to a top school in the country for her WINTER sport (she tanned through her season) and got a academic/athletic scholarship ranked top in the country.
Did her parent make the difference?
