It's fantastic to have all this information to combat those who just blindly believe these doctors and other professionals.

One statement I'm not sure I completely agree with is the amount of patients with vitamin D deficiency. True vitamin D deficiency to cause issues like rickets, etc is probably very rare, but very low Vitamin D (<30) I have seen to be more common than not, and most patients are needing 5,000u to 10,000u PER DAY of vitamin D3 to get their levels up above 30, and a lot of the doctors I work with want their patient's levels up between 60 and 100 if they are treating any form of autoimmune condition. IMHO we all spend WAY TOO MUCH time indoors without healthy exposure to the sun so I suggest a good vitamin D3 supplement can't hurt most people, and getting your levels checked at an annual exam is cheap and easy to do.
