Should YOU Get a Vitamin D Test?

Research is beginning to show that Vitamin D is more important to health than ever imagined. Researchers are finding that a HUGE percentage of the population, up to 85%, is Vitamin D Deficient.

And because of this, researchers are now recommending that EVERYONE get a Vitamin D Test done every year.

Major Vitamin D Researchers have found that up to 75% of Breast and Colon Cancers could be completely prevented if everyone were to have Vitamin D Levels of between 40-60 ng/ml on a Vitamin D Test. This level is MUCH HIGHER than the so-called 'normal' level on the Vitamin D Blood Test Laboratory Slip that comes from the lab.

So, is YOUR Vitamin D Level between 40 to 60 ng/ml? If you don't get a Vitamin D Test, then you will never know... and not knowing is putting you at risk for PREVENTABLE diseases like Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, Heart Disease and the holy grail of health claims 'All Cause Mortality'!!!

As a result, researchers now recognize that we need MUCH LARGER DOSES of Vitamin D than were previously believed in order to have Optimal Health.

Symptoms that are often puzzling or considered unfortunate"Diseases of Civilization" are, more and more often, being linked to Vitamin D deficiency.

What You Don't Know CAN Hurt You...

In fact, even if you are Young and Healthy, you may STILL be at risk. Even infants, children and teenagers are being found to have Vitamin D Deficiency in STARTLING Numbers.

Because Vitamin D Deficiency is being linked to Such a Wide Variety of Diseases researchers recommend you have a Vitamin D Test as part of your routine physical assessment.(5)

A "Call to Action" to increase the RDA minimum to 2000 IU's per day is being recommended by a conglomeration of Vitamin D researchers.

If you were to try to get this amount in food, EVERY DAY you would need to consume:

Unless you happen to eat plenty of Sun Dried Mushrooms or Reindeer Meat every day- you Cannot Meet these Recommended Requirements in Food Alone!

The Sun is the Only Other Good Source of Vitamin D!

Yet doctors are recommending virtually no sun exposure due to the risk of skin cancer.

So the vast majority of people cover up, wear long sleeves and/or put on sunscreen before they go in the sun-

And if you live North of 37 degrees Latitude,
you get NO VITAMIN D FROM THE SUN from September through April- even IF you expose your skin to the sun.

It's a phenomenon called "Vitamin D Winter" where the sun's rays get screened out before they hit our skin.

It's no wonder that almost 85% of the population is Vitamin D Deficient!

That's what researchers thought when they went to sun drenched Hawaii. They thought that people living in Hawaii couldn't possibly be Vitamin D deficient.

* People living in Hawaii who got 28 hours of sun exposure per week WITHOUT sunscreen were Still Vitamin D deficient!!(9)

* New Mother-Baby Pairs in Sun Drenched Greece were found to be Vitamin D deficient. With 19% 'SEVERELY DEFICIENT'! In Athens, Greece!
