Mark’s email re: actinic kertosis:If I could play golf pain free again, I would be happy with that.  Possibly some of these dreams can be realized through consistent D3 therapy.

Oh, and I took it to heart to go ahead and do k-2 therapy along with d-3 to avoid the wrong effect on the bones.  I am taking greater than 80,000 ius d-3 daily.  How much k-2 do you think I need to take with that?  I weigh about 155 lbs.

Last March 2012 I fractured my spine falling off a ladder trimming a tree.  My compression fracture fused just fine with lots of supplementation but it has been a struggle to regain strength in the ligaments.  I also banged up my left knee pretty good but comparatively speaking a much lesser problem.  I have pain in the knee and it is slightly swollen but my mobility is still there.  In fact I have been sprinting 100 yard dashes as part of my exercise program.  I have not had the knee scoped but i suspect a possible bone chip in the tissues cause it hurts when I kneel down on it or sit with it bent in my easy chair for very long.  I am wondering if d-3 will rehab this knee.

I don’t know if I mentioned it in my last email but the high d-3 has resolved my actinic keratosis.  This is one of those irritating syndromes that doesn’t allow you to be exposed out in the sun.  You get a raised red rash on neck, forearms and legs.  The sun makes the little red bumps itch and fester almost like poison ivy or something.  I am a red headed fair skinned individual.  This summer I was able to go outside and enjoy the sun (without sunscreen) for fairly lengthy durations, say 1-1/2 to 2 hrs without burning and without any effect on the rash bumps.  Vitamin D is itself protective against UVA.  Today the rash bumps are few in number.
