Review by A. Elsworth Boss Ed.D. – Word Press – September 22, 2021
Reviewing books is more of a calling rather than a job or task. I decipher and disseminate information that someone may be desperately searching for. And if I can help one person prevent or cure an illness / disease using natural methods I would feel fulfilled and satisfied.
The author Dr. Michael Holick Ph.D., M.D. is a professor at Boston University Medical Center. In his book, “The Vitamin D Solution” he references over 100 scientific studies and clinical research showing that vitamin D can prevent or cure many common diseases. Illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, stroke, muscle weakness, depression and osteoporosis.
One six month study in 2010 was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine and conducted by scientist from the United States and Europe. They discovered that vitamin D deficiency caused a rapid decline in cognitive functions in older individuals.
Although scientists have found that darker skin (melanin) blocks the efficient absorption of Vitamin D from the sun, the problem is not confined to the black community. Vitamin D deficiency is a concern around the world because most people don’t have enough especially the further they live from the equator. There are vitamin D receptors throughout the body demonstrating that it is involved in many internal processes.
Part two of the book is devoted to setting up a “3 – step strategy to cure our most common health problems.” This book is an easy read packed with interesting topics and valuable information about the vitamin D deficiency pandemic.
