“My personal experience,” Abell continues, “in testing thousands of samples for Vitamin D and treating hundreds of patients agrees with this and now I am seeing levels increase to ranges between 60 and 80 consistently, but only with these higher doses, and most patients starting levels are between10 and 30 to start with.”

“Other areas that Vitamin D has shown importance in include the immune system -- hugely important -- asthma, hypertension, bone health, fall prevention with the elderly, Multiple Sclerosis...the list goes on,” says Abell.

Common warning signs that Vitamin D may be lacking in your body may be: bone pain and/or soft bones, frequent bone fractures, bone deformities or growth retardation in children. Be aware if you have limited exposure to sunlight for any reason, whether it is geography, heavy use of sunscreens, or wearing protective clothing while outdoors.

Obesity is also associated with vitamin D deficiency. Since vitamin D is fat-soluble, it can be potentially less available to the body’s metabolism because it can be taken into fat cells and stored.

One study supports that production of vitamin D may also be reduced in obese individuals. When normal and obese subjects were exposed to the same amount of natural sunlight, obese subjects only produced 55% the amount of vitamin D as normal weight subjects.

Luckily Vitamin D can be obtained by proper food sources, proper sunlight and supplements.

Dr. Abell carries two different drops in his office. “One is a water soluble at 600 IU per drop that mixes in water. The other is 5000 IU per drop - 5 drops per day and the bottle should last 6 months. Two drops per day for a 50 pound child and the bottle should last a year!”

The highest ranking concentrated food sources of vitamin D include salmon, sardines, shrimp, cod, and eggs. Baked or broiled Sockeye salmon ranking in as packing the best punch with a whopping 739.37 IU of vitamin D per 4 ounces. Chinook salmon is another excellent source providing 411 IU per 4 ounces.

Sure the campaign says milk does the body good but it’s also one of the top five major food allergens. It’s not recommended for those with asthma or anyone that doesn’t want the extra mucous it will create in your body. Cow milk is best for cow babies just as nature intended it.

Summer is here and the temperature is rising. Baked Salmon in a sundress might be an excellent plan but don’t forget your supplemental drops to insure your body is getting exactly what it needs!
