The Vitamin D Cure

For decades nutritional scientists had assumed that recommended intakes of vitamin D prevented bone disease but offered few other health benefits. In this skillfully written book, Dr. Dowd expertly explains how vitamin D is actually a hormone whose insufficiency represents one of the most widespread health problems in the United States. By following the individualized program of supplementation and sun exposure outlined in this book, the risk for numerous chronic diseases can be reduced.
