A clinical observation published in April 2000 by Dr. Anu Prabhala and his colleagues reported on the treatment of five patients confined to wheelchairs with severe weakness and fatigue. Blood tests revealed that all suffered from severe vitamin D deficiency. The patients received 50,000 IU vitamin D per week and all became mobile within six weeks

Behavior and learning disorders respond well to D and/or calcium combined with an adequate diet and trace minerals.

Vitamin D is an antioxidant that is a more effective antioxidant than vitamin E in reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing enzymes that protect against oxidation

Osteoporosis is strongly associated with low vitamin D. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis respond favorably (and rapidly) to higher levels of D plus calcium and magnesium.

D deficiency has been mistaken for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or peripheral neuropathy.

Breast, prostate, skin and colon cancer have a strong association with low levels of D and lack of sunlight

Vitamin D deficiency decreases biosynthesis and release of insulin. Glucose intolerance has been inversely associated with the concentration of vitamin D in the blood. Thus, vitamin D may protect against both Type I and Type II diabetes!

It may play a role in preventing autoimmune dis-eases or over-acid tissue conditions such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, some types of cancerous conditions such as breast, ovarian, colorectal and prostate.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living center, "recommendations for an "adequate intake" of vitamin D should be at 50,000 IU’s for maintanance and 100,000 IU’s in any acute or chronic condition, including diabetes, MS, heart dis-ease and cancerous conditions."

The RDA for vitamin D is woefully outdated and has been proven to be a remarkably ineffective level of this absolutely vital nutrient. Recommendations for 10-30 minutes of sunshine are also very outdated, especially in the UK. Research has shown that to get the beneficial UV-B rays from the sun, the sun needs to be at a certain angle and UV-B is present only during midday hours at higher latitudes, and only with significant intensity in temperate or tropical latitudes. UV-B is also unable to penetrate clouds or smog, making this almost impossible in the UK and most of Northern Europe.

Getting vitamin D from foods is also almost impossible in any useful quantity (or even to meet the outdated RDA), because vitamin-D-rich foods include the intestines, organ meats, skin and fat from certain land animals, as well as shellfish, oily fish and insects. Many of these foods are unacceptable to the modern palate and are highly acidic.

So what is the answer? pH Miracle pH-D3, the world’s most potent vitamin D supplement.

Recently Dr Robert Young highlighted:

• Vitamin D is critical to all life forms. All research states that vitamin D promotes calcium absorption, thus contributing to strong bones and a calm, contented nervous system.


• Vitamin D controls the levels of calcium in the blood. If there is not enough calcium in the diet, then it will be drawn from the bone to help maintain the alkalinity of the blood.


• Research suggests that vitamin D contributes to a healthy immune system, promotes muscle strength, regulates the maturation process and contributes to hormone production.


• Vitamin D deficiency decreases biosynthesis and release of insulin. Glucose intolerance has been inversely associated with the concentration of vitamin D in the blood. Thus, vitamin D may protect against both Type I and Type II diabetes.


• Low vitamin D is associated with several autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, Sjogren’s Syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis and Crohn’s disease.


• Osteoporosis is strongly associated with low vitamin D. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis respond favorably (and rapidly) to higher levels of D plus calcium and magnesium.


• D deficiency has been mistaken for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or peripheral neuropathy.


• Infertility is associated with low vitamin D. Vitamin D supports production of estrogen in men and women. PMS has been completely reversed by addition of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. Menstrual migraine is associated with low levels of vitamin D and calcium.


• Breast, prostate, skin and colon cancer have a strong association with low levels of D and lack of sunlight.


• Low D has been shown to cause chronic fatigue and depression.


• Seasonal Affective Disorder has been treated successfully with vitamin D. In a recent study covering 30 days of treatment comparing vitamin D supplementation with two-hour daily use of light boxes, depression completely resolved in the D group


• High stress may increase the need for vitamin D or UV-B sunlight and calcium.


• People with Parkinsons and Alzheimers have been found to have low levels of vitamin D.


• Behavior and learning disorders respond well to D and/or calcium combined with an adequate diet and trace minerals.

This truly is a remarkable supplement and is most certainly on the list of Energise ’Must-Have’s!
