Vitamin D Update

 Back in Idaho I purchased a DEXA scan.

The hospital in Burley didn't have one.

I took a course in Washington state to learn how to interpret them.

Pretty simple. 

I also learned how important giving enough vitamin D.  

I began checking my patients levels in Jan

To my surprise the advised dose of 1,000 IU was often not sufficient for even the low levels that were considered normal at that.  

Subsequently in my book The Tubby Traveler from Topeka, I told people to take 5,000 IU a day.
