Is Vitamin D Deficiency Dangerous by: Kerri Knox, RN- The Immune Queen
Hi Joy,
I certainly wouldn't use the word "Dangerous" to describe the risks of Vitamin D deficiency, but there certainly are Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms that you could be experiencing right now that have not been attributed to your Vitamin D Deficiency.
Those symptoms are many and varied, but some of these symptoms COULD BE pain, fatigue, weight gain, osteoporosis, dental problems, etc.
There are also "Long Latency" Vitamin D Deficiency diseases that don't become immediately apparent, but that occur many years down the road when you have had continually Vitamin D Deficiency.
Those diseases, that are only recently being attributed to Vitamin D deficiency are:
*Diabetes *Heart Disease *Breast Cancer *Colon Cancer *Several Other Cancers *Multiple Sclerosis *Alzheimers
And many other problems that are still not recognized by most medical authorities as Vitamin D Deficiency Diseases. But Vitamin D researchers are confident that some, or all, of these diseases could be treated or prevented on some level by keeping Vitamin D levels within the 50-80 ng/ml that many researchers are recommending.
There is little to no downside to optimizing your Vitamin D Levels, so many researchers recommend that you either:
1) Take Vitamin D Supplements OR 2) Get enough sun exposure
To keep your Vitamin D levels within this Optimal Range. You should get your Vitamin D Level Checked at LEAST yearly in order to achieve this number.
