Book Reviews of The Vitamin D Cure
Book Review: SOLD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am going to order this book today, just for the extra information. I have been reading up on Vitamin D for a long time in that my mother has osetoporosis, and I have osteopenia (10 years). I only recently started to up my Vitamin D intake. I live in Arizona, I should be getting plenty of D, however I DO use sunscreen, and that does affect your absorption.
My last Bone density, was not what I had hoped, and I decided to up the D more. From 2,000 to 6,000 a day.
The thing I am understand from reading the reviews here, is WHY my back pain is gone, and why my sciatica is gone, and why I hardly have any problems with either knee anymore...I really do believe it is the D.
BTW, the other thing I have seen happen, is my blood pressure has come down to NORMAL since on more vitamin D. Before I was very frustrated about it, and did not want to take medication for it. No one seems to believe me when I tell them this...but it is true. I have done nothing else....
Hope to continue to see BIG results. Just amazes me...and I have told alot of folk about it, and I am saying it now, and MARK MY WORD.....I DO BELIEVE THIS VITAMIN WILL BE THE NEXT CURE ALL FOR MANY MANY PROBLEMS with our health!!! I have NO doubts!
Book Review: Vitamin D Cure
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say enough about this book and others like it. It may not be a cure all for everything but we must re-address our notions on good health and our nutrional deficiencies. I am an R.N. and fitness trainer in the NW and found my blood pressure spiking 160/100 during the winter month's. (the book will explain why) Was put on blood pressure medication. My Dr. was smart enough to take my Vit. D levels and found it was extremely low. He started me on Vit. D(3) at 2000 units a day. my pressure dropped to an acceptable level of 130/80 I am now on 4,000 to 5,000 (there is a prescription form of 50,000 yes, not a misprint 50,000 units once a week.) for the past 6 month's and my pressure is at 120/62. I am off all other BP meds. I am doing more reseach on the Vit. D connection to good health. look up Dr. Hector de Luca of UW Madison Wis. Vit. D researcher for more info. My own medical issues motivated me to take action and found a lot on nutritional deficiencies in my own diet. the two big ones Vit. D and Magnesium good luck with your quest to better health.Book Review: THE VITAMIN D CURE

Summary: 5 Stars
My son was lucky to be referred to Dr. Dowd when he was 13 years old. Dr. Dowd discovered he didn't have rheumatoid arthritis (like his MD has suspected) or even "growing pains" like I suspected , but had low levels of vitamin D. After 4-6 weeks of vitamin D supplements, all his joint pain was gone! In addition, he stays much healthier (colds, flu, etc.) and much to our surprise, the warts on his feet finally went away...after three different doctors and three different methods of treatment for the warts!
Having the opportunity to meet Dr. Dowd is amazing. He is so smart and able to explain the immune system and the role of vitamin D in language even my 13 year old son could understand. Three years later, and my son is still symptom free as long as he keeps taking the vitamin D.
Book Review: Help for Bariatric, Lupus, MS Patients & Blacks
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gets to the point quickly about the need for increased vitamin D, magnesium and calcium and breaks down data helpful for certain populations. I found the real-life examples of patients informative and the studies interesting. If you are a bariatric,lupus or MS patient this book can help you understand the importance of eating well and how critical supplements are to your good health. My very intelligent surgeon recommended this book and I periodically refer to it to keep my eating and supplementing habits on track. I also found the book, The Magnesium Miracle very helpful. To your good health!
