Frank Shallenberger, M.D. reports on a back pain article, published recently in the Journal of American Board of Family Medicine. It found, quite amazingly, that low back pain which did not respond to conventional therapy, did resolve with vitamin D supplementation.

The study profiled patients with unsuccessful multiple back surgeries, pain from pregnancies, special back injections and  “normal” therapy.  These did not respond to conventional therapy but were successfully treated with vitamin D supplementation. Of course there has to be a deficiency of vitamin D to begin with.  This is easily confirmed by laboratory tests.

Vitamin D is enormously powerful and recent study after study is proving its multiple benefits. The majority of populations are, at some time, deficient  in vitamin D.  The emphasis on lowering cholesterol with drugs and a lack of sunshine exposure propels this deficiency.  (Vitamin D is produced naturally by ultraviolet B rays from sunshine and  cholesterol under the skin.)

With the over prescribing of cholesterol lowering statin drugs and a lack of sunshine, the deficiency of vitamin D is pervasive in most populations except those in poorer countries with less medical care and more sunshine. If you haven’t already downloaded the free cholesterol & CoQ-10 report on this site ( http://naturalhealthsecrets.ws) you can discover some amazing benefits from cholesterol and CoQ-10 that are little publicized. The cardiovascular benefits as well as disease resistance are enormous…Denis Van Loan D.D.S.
