I can't believe that this might have been the precipitating factor for a
lot of my health issues, for a long time, too. And it seems to have
such a simple, and inexpensive solution. I've tried turmeric and milk
thistle and other supplements and herbs but the biggest difference in
pain relief and general well-being has been with Vitamin D
supplementation. Last year, I went to the ER with a kidney stone. I'd
never even had a kidney infection or a bladder infection, and out of the
blue I get a kidney stone. Well, I read that Vitamin D deficiency can
cause "increased excretion of calcium from renal tubules". If you are
going to the doc for bloodwork anyway, get them to check your Vitamin D
levels. You might be surprised. It might keep you from getting cancer
or even from getting the flu or other viruses.
This page lists some risk groups(including vegetarians) and talks about
how certain meds can affect your Vitamin D level.

I hope everyone takes a few minutes to read these articles. It just
might save your life or prevent you from having osteoporosis or other
bone issues later in life.
