A radical method, but well-researched.
In the past 4 years, I have supplemented my Vitamin D intake. It started when one of my knees suddenly became weak and very painful. I had difficulty walking up stairs. I thought I would need a cane. I talked to a coach and he recommended glucosamine and an Ace bandage. I wore the bandage and I took the glucosamine, but it did nothing. I began taking Vitamin D. Within 2 months all pain was gone. I could not believe it. But it was true.
I began investigating and found more potential benefits. Thus I began taking more daily. At first it was 1,000 units and I upped that to 5,000. My soft teeth seemed to harden, were resistant to cavities, which I’ve been prone to since age 9. I stopped getting colds. I started telling friends and relatives. One of my relatives started to try it but stopped abruptly when her doctor warned her how dangerous Vitamin D could be (of course, it is no such thing).
Some of the issues covered in this book (e.g., the toenail fungus problem that many people suffer), are extremely intriguing to me. After rejecting the liver-damage $500 pills that big pharma has come up with as the solution to toenail fungus that many over-50 people have, I found a doctor who claimed that the cure would be to pull the toenail completely off and let a new one grow back again, fungus free. I had him pull 2 of my 5 infected toenails (one at a time over a period of 6 months). A third one fell off on its own after I hurt my toe. They have all now grown back. And there appears to be fungus. I look forward to seeing what large daily doses of Vitamin D may do to cure this condition as the author says it did for him.
I was also enlightened by the book’s explanations of the relation between D and K, and am taking measures to ensure a proper balance between these two nutrients. For all of these reasons, this book is an important addition to the knowledge of anyone who is looking for health.
