Hello,
I'm a tanning salon owner and got into the business from first reading about Vitamin D on mercola.com. My first equipment salesman told me people don't care about things like this but I told him well I do so I'm sure others do as well. I sent an email and spoke with Donald L. Smith trying to purchase equipment with electronic ballasts. I was unsuccessful at that time to find that type of equipment. What I did do however is purchase two stand-up units where the ballasts trays are not in the unit itself they are on wheels in a metal casing and moved away to the back wall. Does anyone know if this makes any difference or at least cuts down the risk?
I'm 46 years old in excellent health and I tan moderately in tanning beds. One to two times a week for a max of 8 mins. I try to educate my clients and send them to Dr. Mercola when they ask how I got so healthy. According the the FDA I cannot advertise the Vitamin D benefits from tanning but I "think" my freedom of speech allows me to talk about it! I do want to change over my existing units to electronic ballasts but the expense is too much for me right now.

Is vitamin D really formed on the surface of the skin?
If this is so then perhaps the best method of supplementation
would be topically, to allow for any reulating systems to
be put in to play.

I have RA and was recently tested for Vitamin D(25-hydroxyvitamin D) and it was low. My new Rheumatologist has me taking a Vitamin D supplement and it's 1000 I.U. (D3). I had been suffering quite badly for the last three years of muscular aches and pains. Within several days of taking the Vitamin D supplement, I feel much better (not 100%) of less muscular aches and fewer joint pains. I also feel much better depression-wise as well.

The new Rheumatologist is testing me for all vitamins and seems to be very much into understanding all about supplements.

I also suffer from thyroid disease and have been both hypothyroid and hyperthyroid and currently have Grave's Disease. I live in sunny southern Arizona, but don't go outside as often as I should.

Go figure! :-)

You know we are now in the midst of breast cancer awareness. The wear pink walk for the cure raise funds for the drug companies research. You would think this research would be given some public service annoucement money by groups like the american cancer society ect. Imagine by just getting appropriate sun exposure and maybe some suppliementation .of vitamin d breast and other cancers could be reduced by 50%. The gold standart for prevention is Tamoxifen the latest study shows has next to no effect. It makes you wonder .

Having had a Toxic doses of Vitamin D & A when I was younger, and living in a northern climate in the winter. I can understand Dr Mercola's statement that if you are going to supplement with vitamin D you need to hae your levels monitored. I still do not take vitamins routinely and I definitely avoid the one that triggered my toxicity. It is still marketed routinely.
