There is less breast cancer in women with Vit D above 50, so that is my minimum goal. I do my best to depend on sun for the Vit D, but as Dr. Davis said, the older we get, the harder it is to convert sun on skin into Vit D. I supplement, get sun most of the year, and test every February.
Found this study on MS, others on cancer and diabetes, but don't see one on CVD.

Thanks Janet for mentioning the MS. I have a friend with that and he mentioned the $30K treatment he was recently offered as a twice a year management for his MS. While he would only pay out of pocket for a tiny portion, he is saying " no" to the treatment.
Gave him Dr Terry Wahl's book title and he promptly bought a kindle copy, and is devouring it. He thinks he can do that protocol. As I havent read the book < I dont know her take on Vit D. I will be sure to mention that when I see him next.
