Why Vitamin D

Did you know vitamin D is known as the "Miracle Medicine", it has been known to reduce cancer rates by 77%.

How do you know if you need Vitamin D first you need to start with a base line blood test to determine you levels. Normal is 20 -80 ng/DL. Ideally you want to be as close to 80 as possible or above 60ng/DL.Less than #0 ng/DL are considered deficient

If you need a blood test call and we can write one for you or go to Any Lab Test Now and order your own test.

Lower than normal levels can put you at a increased risk for breast ,colon cancer,leukemia,and melanoma. Reason why is that Vit D inhibits angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels that permit the spread of cancer cells through the body.

Great sources of Vitamin D form foods:
Cheese,butter,cream,fortified milks,fish,oysters,Fortified cereals.

15-20 min 3 times per week exercise in the sun such as a walk gives you Vit D as well, caution if it is overcast or cloudy you will not get you Vit D.

Caution if a little is good is a lot better NO! To much can cause you to pull calcium from your bones and depositing it in the blood and then it will end up in the heart and lung tissues thus reducing there function.

Remember the simple steps


1.Get the blood test done
2.Read the results/consult with Chiropractor or MD
3.Add Good source Vit D and increase food source of Vit D if less than Normal
4.Exercise in the outdoors 3 times per week
