Although I'm a naturopathic physician and lived a healthy lifestyle I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer at age 48. I had lived in Ontario for over 20 years and used plenty of sunscreen during the short summer. Knowing what I know how about vitamin D I wonder if this could have been prevented. I advise all of my patients to have their vitamin D levels tested and to take between 6000-30,000IU of vitamin D a day based on their test results. I have to get them to buy higher dose vitamin D capsules from the US with much red tap because Health Canada is so behind in implementing research findings into public policy. I am in favour of higher dose vitamin D supplements being made available to all Canadians asap. Kind regards, Dr. Anke Zimmermann, ND

MS is also linked to low Vitamin D intake and thus can be avoided if health providers would get on board and do their own research and help their patients.I took matters into my own hands and started increasing Vitamin D daily because my Doctor simply avoided the issue
