12 Questions and SVA Answers about Vit D 1) Why is Vit D is increasingly in the news? · Recent findings confirm that 30-‐50% of Americans suffer from Vit D deficiency. · Vit D deficiency is now associated with 17 types of cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, osteoporosis, asthma, and more recently with autism. 2) According to the SVA perspective, why is there an epidemic? · SVA confirms that our immediate primary source of Vit D is sunlight. Sun exposure is an easy, reliable way for most people to get vitamin D. Exposure of the hands, face, arms, and legs to sunlight two to three times a will cause the skin to produce enough vitamin D (the necessary exposure time varies with age, skin type, season, time of day, etc). But getting Vit D through sunlight has become problematic because UVB is absorbed through the skin, and the liver and kidneys play a major role in transforming UVB to Vit D. · SVA highlights the fact that in this day and age, due to toxins in the food, stress, toxins in personal care, make-‐up, or the chemicals in the water we drink or shower in, are putting an extra load on the liver because the liver is the organ that has to deal with all kinds of toxins that enter the body either orally or transdermally. So when the intelligence of the liver is compromised due to artificial chemicals artificial colors, flavors, scents, then it is not able to fulfill it functions of transforming UVB into Vit D optimally. The same thing happens to the kidneys. That’s why even though people may eat Vit D rich foods (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc) and get enough sunlight on a daily basis, their Vit D levels remain low. · SVA approaches the epidemic from a holistic point of view, not just recommending transdermal creams that bypass the liver in order to get absorbed; SVA also stresses the importance of diet and recommends special regimens for improving the health of the organs. 3) Is the Transdermal approach unique to SVA or are other researchers and scientists also talking about? ©Adishakti LLC.
