Law and Order episode where a girl was abducted and held in a cell. They were talking about her being Vitamin D deficient. There was uncertainty about whether the girl was telling the truth. A little misinformation regarding the hole in the ozone layer creating an increase in skin cancer–skin cancer deaths have been on the decrease over the last 25 years. But the rest of the spot is interesting. Dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers have a created a mini epidemic of vitamin d deficiency. People are starting to catch on that the “skin cancer scare” is being highly exaggerated by the dermatologists and sunscreen/self tanning industry to make huge profits. This at the expense of our health.

I’ve just gotten some blood work done and we’ve learned I have a severe vitamin D deficiency, which I have been prescribed strong supplements for. I was wondering about some of the bone weakness that this can cause? Because I type on an average of five hours a day, and lately I’ve noticed my fingers and wrists get tired and tingly a lot faster than usual. Could these two things be linked? What other symptoms should I be aware of?

I am of mediteranean decent does that have something to do with it? I have a fairly good diet. What are some of the symptoms that this causes? What is the best way to treat? I hate taking pills!!
I know my doctors take on it. It is not a bid deal. Take meds. That is all fine. I just was reading that they are starting to blame some autoimmune and hormonal problems on vitamin D deficiency. I was just looking for an alternative point of view.

I’m 21, and I’ve been noticing a lot of new moles popping up on my skin within the last few months. I have never had the appearance of any new moles since I was a child, and they’re suddenly popping up now.

I also started a new schedule within the last few months where I don’t see much daylight. I get up when it’s dark, and I go to bed when it’s dark.

I was just wondering whether not getting enough sun can cause a sudden appearance of lots of new moles.
