Dr. Holick is a pioneer on this subject. He led the way in this field since 1990s. I came across vitamin D by pure serendipity. I realized how rudimentary was the medical knowledge on vitamin D presented in medical books. Up to this date, this new knowledge has not made it into the curricula of medical schools. Then I came across an article that was published by Dr. Holick in The Lancet "Redefining vitamin D deficiency" in 1998. Since then, I never looked back and this new knowledge on vitamin D changed the way I practice medicine and my patients are grateful for it. In this book, you will learn that vitamin D is not only to enhance bone density, but it is also a vital vitamin to maintain muscle strength, mass (to prevent falls), and that vitamin D has a vital role in preventing most cancers and preventing auto-immune disorders such as type 1 diabetes, mutiple sclerosis. A recent study on telomerase has found that vitamin D might even enhance longevity. If you feel tired, and suffer from chronic fatigue, aches and pains, and "everything" has been checked and "normal", it is time your doctor checked 25, hydroxy vitamin D to make sure that your vitamin D is between 32-100 ng/ml and that you are taking adequate vitamin D. This book is written for doctors, clinicians, and researchers.
