Howdy All,
This link was posted on the UVB_Meter_Owners group site months ago by Dr. Baines of "UV Guide UK" fame. I finally had a chance to watch it. It was worth the 1 hour investment. Dr. Holick a pretty entertaining speaker as well as an expert Dr. and researcher. Not only is it about human issues with the vitamin but he also has some slides mentioning the problems with reptiles and D3/UVB!
What it all boils down to is that the vast majority of people don't get enough exposure to sunlight to maintain the proper circulating levels of processed D3 and its byproducts. This leads to a host of potential medical ailments and other various effects. Getting something like 15-30 minutes of afternoon sun exposure to bare arms and legs several times a week (if I remember correctly
) is a great way to bring the levels closer to normal. Supplementing with D3 at around 1000 IU a day is considered to be a good idea too.
From the link:
"D-Lightful Vitamin D: Bone & Muscle Health and Prevention of Autoimmune and Chronic Diseases"
"Can vitamin D help prevent certain cancers and other diseases such as type 1 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain autoimmune and chronic diseases? To answer these questions and more, UCSD School of Medicine and GrassrootsHealth bring you this innovative series on vitamin D deficiency. Join nationally recognized experts as they discuss the latest research and its implications. In this program, Michael Holick, MD, discusses vitamin D relating to bone and muscle health and the prevention of autoimmune and chronic diseases."
