The Vitamin D Revolution

Endorsed by both Dr Christiane Northrup and Arianna Huffington, this is an important book giving the reader an update on the status of Vitamin D research and its implications for public health. Vitamin D deficiency is now connected with 17 varieties of cancer, heart disease and various other diseases of civilisation, which is an important message in a society obsessed with screening out the sun. The author found that 75% of his patients in California had insufficient levels, so that one can imagine that this diagnosis would be replicated in this country. The book provides an overview of how our understanding has evolved, the role of Vitamin D in the body, illnesses associated with Vitamin D deficiency and how to optimise Vitamin D levels. An important book for both practitioners and general readers.
