Vitamin D: It’s Not Just For Bones Anymore
June 13th, 2010
December 12, 2007 presentation by David Feldman for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series. David Feldman, MD, professor of medicine at Stanford, explores the biological action of Vitamin D beyond its widely understood role in the information and maintenance of bone. Emerging therapeutic uses of the vitamin include the prevention and treatment of breast, prostate and colon cancer, chronic kidney disease and arthritis, among other conditions.

Hm The AAP just changed their recommendations for a kid’s daily vitamin D intake – from 200IU to 400IU!
This is a great vitamin D video
I wonder which person he meant who might have hyped the vitamin d as a wonder vitamin? Unfortunately the video was blacked out when he said that ..
Could it have been one of the guys in vitamindcouncil?

D3 is NOT a vitamin. It is integral to the immune system. Without it or with low levels all the modern non-infectious diseases arise (e.g., heart disease, cancer, etc.). BTW, my friend has had his toddler (18m) on D3 since he was an infant. He has NEVER had otitis media (Latin for “Infection of the Middle Ear”) which is the bread & butter of pediatricians.
