Light Green Stairs

I don’t know how you feel about this, but I think it’s refreshing to see a doctor talking about food (not just drugs and medical tests). And this doc even gives you recipes as part of his cure!

The new revised edition of The Vitamin D Cure by James E. Dowd, M.D. and Diane Stafford provides you with steps on figuring out how much vitamin D you need, adding supplements and sun, changing your diet (with some recipes) and adding exercise to get the proper amounts of vitamin D.

These steps make up the vitamin D cure, of course.

The authors explain that the cure helps with diseases driven by changes in metabolism, such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and high blood pressure. The authors also discuss the importance of vitamin D in relation to the immune system, mood and memory, prevention and treatment of cancer, and maintaining healthy bones, joints and teeth.

You’ll also want to discuss all this with your own doctor, as usual.
