According to mercola, the trouble with getting Vit D3 from the sun is that people tend to shower using products after sun exposure and this robs the skin of the vit D which has been made along with cholesterol in the skin. 48 hours should be allowed for the vitamin to synthesize properly, or you should just allow water to run over the skin, not soap stuff. This is one of the reasons that people's systems are depleted. Dee

D 3 'hype' I always remember reading that Vit D, being oil-based and thus not easily eliminated, was one of the few vitamins that can actually cause harm if over done. Supposedly, the human body will automatically make all it needs through exposure to sunlight. Of course, lots of things one reads turn out to be utter bull, especially medical and nutrition advice, so who knows... Also, the various forms of what is commonly called "Vitamin D" apparently have radical differences in their effect on the body. Personally, I think we don't really know squat about nutrition yet and should take it all with a grain of NaCl. Of course, for someone who has a serious illness, some experimentation may be worthwhile. Probably beats whatever patent meds the docs have been bribed to prescribe this week... -- indi
