The video <strong>Skin Cancer/Sunscreen - the Dilemma</strong>by Edward Gorham should answer Sophie's question about sunscreen. It explains how sunscreens do not prevent skin cancer but promote it by shifting useful Vitamin d producing UVB into the UVA spectrum thus increasing skin damage by increasing UVA exposure. It is better to lay naked in the sun for a short time (10~30minutes depending on skin colour and latitude) at noon and then cover up for the rest of the day. How much supplement each individual needs depend on body size, age and lots of other factors. Travis's dad suggest people take what they think is an effective amount for 3 months then get (<a href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/" rel="nofollow">The vitamin D Council easy cheap 25(OH)D postal finger prick test</a> then adjust intake by 100iu/daily for each 1ng 2.5nmol/l needed, more or less, to end up around 60ng 150nmol/l. The level most of the reseachers are saying is associated with least chronic illness. Best to be on the safe side.

Ellen: this is the worst site you have ever been on! Wow! Thanks, I'll try and do better. I am 27 and haven't updated this site for over a year and almost had forgotten about it. But if its that bad, perhaps I will leave it up as a warning on how NOT to build a site! It was kind of a personal site that only my friends would visit, but somehow this post is getting a lot of traffic. And with traffic, apparently there comes "haters". But that is fine. Hate away. I am a master at uncouth sentences as well. You all remind me of my grade school English teacher trying to tell me to use "Jim and I" rather than "Me and Jim". Comon! It is how we talk. This site is meant to be humorous, but I broke away from that to make this post as I thought all my friends and their families should really get up to speed on Vitamin D. For real Vitamin D research <a href="http://vitamindcouncil.org" rel="nofollow">please go to the Vitamin D Council's Website</a>. There you will find the best website full of Vitamin D research currently that is online. I cannot stress enough how you should all go there are read the relevant research. One of my favorite pages is our "Am I Deficient" page, which covers most of the questions you are all wondering- how much should I take, how can I get tested, what do the results mean, etc. Thank you all for visiting my blog and giving me some constructive criticism!

You are correct for the most part, but I detected some inconsistensy as did my fellow visiters, Ellen, and Gertrude. Other than that, it was fairly well done. I am an ederly lady (50 yrs.) and I haven't gotten much vitamin D, even though I have done as you suggested and gone out in the sun for 20 minutes. Should I apply a lesser sunscreen when I make my outings? Fondly, Sophie Thank you very much for the info.

How old are you again? I was hoping to leave the site with some refreshing facts, and all I was left with was dissapiontment. There are several misspelled words, and uncouth sentences. At least your father is proud of it. This is one of the worst sites I have ever been on. How old are you again?

Homefirst.com has two products, supposedly based on your father's research, and one is at 5,000 IU and one is at 50,000 IU. Is your father's research being skewed by the product makers or is the quote above about 4,000 IU incorrect? Sincerely, Thank you. Gertrude Could you please tell me why:
