Greetings!
Great News! Yesterday Shaklee announced the extension of the Join Free with any Purchase Promotion! So if you missed it last month you have another chance to lock in these great savings. See details in this newsletter below!
Also this week we want to bring you information regarding the most common medical condition in the world, with often devastating and even fatal consequences, and that is Vitamin D deficiency.
This disease affects over 200 million people in North American alone. Now you should not be one of them!
 Ask your doctor about the overwhelming research that is currently making headlines in numerous published clinical studies and the stunning information found in virtually every respected medical journal in health care.
This week we will attempt to bring you just a small amount of the body of evidence that suggests you should most likely be supplementing with Vitamin D3.

 "Increasing the amount of Vitamin D in the body can prevent or help treat a remarkable number of ailments, from obesity to arthritis, from high blood pressure to back pain, from diabetes to muscle cramps, from upper respiratory tract infections to infectious diseases, and from fibromyalgia to cancers of the breast, colon, pancreas, prostate, and ovaries. It can safeguard pregnancy, support ideal weight management, reduce abnormal cell growth, and stave off infections and chronic diseases! Who would not want these benefits?"
Dr. Andrew Weil in his foreword to the book,
"The Vitamin D Solution written by Dr. Michael F. Holick, Ph.D., M.D.

A Hormone, Not a Vitamin
It may surprise you to know that Vitamin D is not actually a Vitamin. It is a Hormone! It's deficiency, therefore, is a true disease.
Vitamin D is in a class by itself. The active metabolic product in the body is a molecule called 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (often called 1,25-vitamin D for simplicity), which is a secosteriod hormone. After its synthesis in the skin,
Vitamin D exerts its effects on every organ system in the body. In order for Vitamin D to be made in the body, it requires help from an outside source known as Vitamin D3. (Naturally provided by rays of Ultraviolet B from sunlight) Vitamin D3 quickly arranges itself in the body to give birth to Vitamin D, which then quickly exits the skin cell for the bloodstream. Then after a 2 step activation occurs, through the liver and kidneys, Vitamin D (1,25-vitamin D) is formed and is then available for it's beneficial use in the body. It is important to know that Vitamin D3 is essential to creating
1,25-vitamin D!

Vitamin D2 is NOT the Same as Vitamin D3!- Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is known to have adverse drug interactions
- Currently 144 drugs (612 brand and generic names) known to interact with Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)
- D2 is a patented drug that has been used to fortify dairy and other foods for 60 years
- Nearly all "toxic reactions" to vitamin D are due to Vitamin D2 and NOT Vitamin D3
- Vitamin D3 is 100 times safer than aspirin.

Myth vs. Truth
- "I can get all my Vitamin D from the Sun." Sensible sun exposure will increase your Vitamin D level (but not possible in Northern Latitudes most months) plus the American Academy of Dermatology says 'Vitamin D should not be obtained from unprotected exposure to ultraviolet radiation' and urges its members to up their Vitamin D intake with diet and SUPPLEMENTS - not sun exposure.
- "I can get all my Vitamin D from the Food that I eat." Diet alone will NOT do it. To eat a sufficient amount of Vitamin D, you'd have to consume three cans of sardines, drink 10 or 20 glasses of fortified milk, gulp down 10 to 20 bowls of cereal, snack on 50 to 100 egg yolks or eat 7 ounces of wild salmon for dinner every night! (Probably easier just to take a trusted Vitamin D Supplement don't you think?
