If you have a chance visit Dr. Jeffrey Dach's websites he has so much valuable fresh information to read. I was up half the night reading it all. He has given us permission to add the following here. I'll make it a sticky as well.

Is it a New Bio-Tech Drug, or is it Vitamin D?


What if I told you I discovered a Bio-Tech company with a new drug
that could reduce the number of cancer deaths in the US by 43,000
annually, reduce colon cancer by 50%, and breast and ovarian cancer
by
30%. Would you be impressed?

What if I then told you this same drug could safely prevent or
alleviate the following medical conditions: Osteoporosis,
Hypertension, Cardiovascular disease, Cancer, Depression, Epilepsy,
Type One Diabetes, Insulin resistance, Autoimmune Diseases, Migraine
Headache, Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOS), Musculoskeletal and bone
pain, Psoriasis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease
(Cohn's), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)(15), as well as improve
calcium absorption and reduce hip fractures.(5A)

Would you then be even more impressed and rush out to buy the company
stock and get rich quick?

Of course you would, but we don't need a new Bio-Tech drug to do
this,
because, all of the above benefits can be obtained with Vitamin D, an
inexpensive vitamin which is free with sun exposure.

Vitamin D Deficiency in Florida, Surely You must Be Joking:

We all know it's a fact: Everyone in Florida gets plenty of Vitamin D
from the Florida Sun. This would have been true except for the fact
that as Floridians, we are all told to avoid the sun to prevent solar
skin damage (brown wrinkling) and to avoid skin cancer.

So the question remains, do we get enough Vitamin D from sun
exposure?
To answer this question, we actually measured blood Vitamin D levels,
and we were surprised to discover that the majority showed Vitamin D
deficiency (less than 20 ng/ml), or insufficiency (less than 40 ng/
ml).

What if you are not fortunate to live in sunny Florida and you live
up
north above the Mason Dixon Line, in Boston, New York, Chicago,
Canada
or Scandinavia? Northern latitudes have an even more serious vitamin
D
deficiency because of the lack of UV sunlight during the winter
months. The angle of the sun through the atmosphere closes off the
UltraViolet Light from reaching the earth.

An Epidemic of Vitamin D Deficiency

Vitamin D deficiency has been reported in 57% of 290 medical
inpatients in Massachusetts, 93% of 150 patients with overt
musculoskeletal pain in Minnesota, 48% of patients with Multiple
Sclerosis, 50% of patients with lupus and fibromyalgia, 42% of
healthy
adolescents, 40% of African American Women, and 62 % of the morbidly
obese, 83% of 360 patients with low back pain in Saudi Arabia, 73% of
Austrian patients with Ankylosisng Spondylitis, 58% of Japanese girls
with Graves's Disease, 40% of Chinese adolescent girls, 40-70% of all
Finnish medical patients. (5A)

Vitamin D Toxicity

Vitamin D excess and toxicity requires daily dosage in excess of
40,000 units over a period of months, so 5,000 units a day is safe
and
far below the level needed to develop vitamin D toxicity. Remember
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, so toxicity is possible with
massive doses over long periods of time. Vitamin D toxicity causes
elevated calcium levels. That's why Vitamin D supplementation should
done only under your physician's supervision with monitoring of serum
25-Hydroxy Vitamin D levels.

Space Satellite Maps

Maps of UV Sunlight exposure correlate with incidence of Cancer and
Multiple Sclerosis.

If you take NASA space satellite photos of North America and color
code the UV sunlight exposure as Dr. Grant has done on his web site,
Sunarc.com (3), you will see a pattern remarkably similar to the
incidence of cancer and multiple sclerosis. This is thought to be due
to differences in Vitamin D levels. The farther north with less sun
exposure and lower Vitamin D levels, there is an increased incidence
of cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Diseases Caused By, or Associated With Vitamin D Deficiency:

Again here is the list: Osteoporosis, Hypertension, Cardiovascular
disease, Cancer, Depression, Epilepsy, Type One Diabetes, Insulin
resistance, Autoimmune Diseases, Migraine Headache, PolyCystic Ovary
Disease (PCOS), Musculoskeletal and bone pain, Psoriasis, and chronic
lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)(15).

The current recommendation for Vitamin D deficiency in those people
who must avoid the sun is 5,000 IU of Vitamon D per day which costs 5
cents a day..

Vitamin D is not really a Vitamin, it is a Hormone.

Like all other steroidal hormones, vitamin D is made from a
cholesterol precursor, converted in the skin by sunlight. Like all
other hormones, Vitamin D enters the nucleus of the cell and binds to
the DNA where it gives a message to the DNA to manufacture proteins.

Vitamin D And Multiple Sclerosis.

A review by Dr. Brown reported that Vitamin D supplementation
prevented the development and progression of experimental autoimmune
encephalitis, an animal model of MS, in mice. A large, prospective,
cohort study found that vitamin D supplementation was associated with
a 40% reduction in the risk of developing MS. Four small,
noncontrolled studies suggested that vitamin D supplementation may
decrease exacerbation of MS symptoms. (20)

MRI studies of multiple sclerosis lesions show improvement during
summer months and worsening during winter months suggesting a Vitamin
D link. (36)

Vitamin D and Cancer

A four-year clinical trial, involving 1,200 women found those taking
the vitamin had about a 60-per-cent reduction in cancer incidence,
compared with those who didn't take it, a drop so large - twice the
impact on cancer attributed to smoking - it almost looks like a
typographical error. The study was done by professor of medicine
Robert Heaney of Creighton University in Nebraska and will be
published in June 2007. (36A)

Vitamin D Supplementation for Adults

The RDA in America is only 400 IU per day, yet current research
suggests that our daily Vitamin D requirement is closer to 4,000 to
5,000 IU. Twenty minutes of Sun exposure will give us ten to twenty
thousand IU of Vitamin D.

Adult Supplementation with Carlson's Cod Liver Oil can provide
Vitamin
D along with Vitamin A . However, for an intake of 5,000 IU vitamin D
per day, inexpensive Vitamin D3 capsules are widely available for
about 5 cents a day. We provide these as a convenience to our office
patients.

Vitamin D Testing at the Lab

Optimal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D values are 45-50 ng/ml. Below 40
ng/
ml is called Vitamin D insufficiency, and below 20 ng/ml is
deficiency.

Conclusion

Our health care system is in crisis. We are spending billions on
expensive procedures like coronary artery bypass and organ
transplantation, yet measurements of health are lower than other
countries that spend less. In terms of getting more bang for your
health care buck, Vitamin D testing and supplementation for the
population is one solution which is guaranteed to improve overall
health of the population at a ridiculously low cost.

The cost saving in reduced cancer rates, and lower osteoporotic
fracture rates would be enormous, and we would all enjoy improved
health. My goal as a physician in our community is to improve the
health of of our community, and Vitamin D testing and supplementation
is one way to achieve that goal with no adverse side effects and
enormous cost savings.
