From the Inside Flap

It may sound too good to be true, but it′s actually solid medicine based on real science: groundbreaking new research has traced the source of a wide array of disorders that afflict up to 200 million Americans to a single common factor–—vitamin D deficiency. Increasing the amount of vitamin D in your body can cure or help treat a remarkable number of ailments—from obesity to arthritis, from high blood pressure to back pain, from diabetes to muscle cramps. If you suffer from these or many other chronic health problems, you may wonder whether you are getting enough vitamin D and what to do about it.

In The Vitamin D Cure, leading rheumatologist and researcher Dr. James Dowd reveals the causes of vitamin D deficiency and explains why North Americans are particularly vulnerable to it. He then offers a simple, easy–to–follow five–step program that can eliminate or alleviate a host of seemingly incurable conditions, such as arthritis, in as little as six weeks. Better yet, by staying on the program, you can enjoy robust health and improved fitness for the rest of your life.

Citing numerous scientific studies, a wealth of clinical data, and case stories from his practice, Dr. Dowd shows how lifestyle and diet have combined to reduce the vitamin D intake of most of us who live north of the equator. Eating the wrong foods, not getting enough exercise, and spending too much time indoors have produced a major health crisis.

The good news is that you can greatly improve your health with the five easy steps in this life–changing guide. You′ll learn how to:

  • Find out how much vitamin D you need

  • Sun and supplement your way to great D levels

  • Calculate your acid excess and tweak your diet

  • Cover your bases with total supplementation

  • Add a little exercise to the mix

More than you ever realized, the future of your health is in your hands. You can harness the power of the "sunshine vitamin" to transform your life, end your pain, and return to active, vigorous well–being now and for decades to come. Read The Vitamin D Cure and start lettingthe sun shine on your health and your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars worthy but there are more helpful books on vitamin D, 12 Nov 2009
By D&D - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Vitamin D Cure (Paperback)
This book presents important information about the value of vitamin D and sunshine - and about just how much more we all need than has been officially acknowledged. There are many interesting case studies although these days I have my doubts that every single presenting patient experiences such fabulous results, as such books invariably imply. So far I've read 2 of the half a dozen books jumping on the vitamin D bandwagon (with 2 more due out in 2010 although over a decade ago several books were already lauding the benefits of sunshine).

Of the 2, I prefer "The Vitamin D Revolution". Although smaller, everything was much more simply and clearly explained; also some basic details were covered that I did not see in this book, such as the differences between the three forms of vitamin D (D3 is the important one), the pros and cons of getting vitamin D from sunshine or tanning beds, which of the several vitamin D tests you/your doctor should use (and why). The Revolution book also contained several careful pages on dosage, which this book glossed over.

Apparently, vitamin D can cure 17 types of cancer, heart disease, stroke, bone density issues, arthritis, flu, muscle pain, fatigue, chronic pain, seasonal (and other) depression and various autoimmune disorders. Perhaps its just my cynicism from decades of reading endless books singing the praises of so-called miracles such as DMSO, MMS, DHEA, vitamins B, C, E, magnesium, iodine, omega 3 EFAs, breathwork, oxygen therapy, hydrogen peroxide, water, thyroid hormone, adrenal hormone, liver cleanses, detoxes, fasts, exercise, neutralising electromagnetic stress, juicing, mangosteen, coconut oil, noni juice, palm oil, superfoods, organic foods, wholefoods, celiac diets, dairy-free diets, veggie diets, protein diets, carb diets, food combining, acid-alkaline balancing diets, glycemic/glucose diets, high fibre diets, raw food diets, candida/fungus elimination, parasite cleansing - oh dear, the list of my gullibility seems endless.

Yes, I've tried all of these, sometimes repeating them in various combinations and on each occasion with enthusiasm and bright-eyed hope. I can only assume that the miraculous and wonderful results in the case studies were the exception, not the rule, as I saw no measurable benefits, except (a little) from psyllium husks for colon cleansing purposes. Nowadays, when I read about successful case studies, I wonder how many are made up or at least tweaked - and I wonder what proportion of actual patients were successful in any way, much less miraculously so.

Having made this point at some length, I will also say that I appear to have some benefit from Vitamin D supplementation, started after an American cousin sang its praises. I've only been taking 2,000iu but perhaps should double it and see if that is even better, as the book indicates. There was a chapter suggesting what to eat at mealtimes but I thought it was a bit odd and that the author didn't really know much about nutrition - as indeed most medical doctors are very lacking in that field as they get less than a day's training in this. He also recommends exercise but then admits towards the end that improvements are not dependant on exercise, although he claims exercise improves results. If most of the people interested in this book were well enough to exercise, they would probably not be looking at books like this!
