Vitamin D update - Dietary Heliotherapy

The latest bits of research in the field:

- This study finds vitamin d is no help in lowering cholesterol levels.

- This study finds vitamin d is significantly helpful in accelerating recovery from tuberculosis, supporting the old practice of heliotherapy (prescribed sunshine) for TB patients. "We demonstrate a previously unappreciated role for vitamin D supplementation in accelerating resolution of inflammatory responses during tuberculosis treatment. Our findings suggest a potential role for adjunctive vitamin D supplementation in the treatment of pulmonary infections to accelerate resolution of inflammatory responses associated with increased risk of mortality."

I continue to supplement my diet with edible sunshine but will become more rigorous with my intake as we move into the autumn months.
