Reduced cancer mortality with daily Vitamin D intake
It took me a long time, and virtually no help from outside, to discover that vitamin D effectively cures my winter depression.  I was never really feeling good around that time of the year, but it wasn't problematic enough to actually do something about it.  But when my gut started to revolt around that time too, I started to feel distinctly unwell.  So I went to my doctor, who gave me an approintment with a nutrition specialist.  That chat was totally and wholy unhelpful, and the sympoms persisted.  Out of sheer luck, I insisted on having my vitamin D tested.  It turns out I was truly hitting bottom.  Even that didn't make my doctor say heureka.  No, he kind of casually brushed the test result away, but casually said I could take some D, ideally from october to easter...<p>Next hurdle was the dose.  Most things I could get at the pharmacy without prescription are actually very low dose, and then there is this fresh panic going about, "vitamin D users overdose" or something.  But with luck, I found dekristolmin. 20k i.e. in a single small pill.  I take one every sunday since two years, and my mental health couldn't be better.  Also, most of the gut irritation is also gone.<p>Why I type this here?  I found it interesting that I had to discover this cure on my own.  The medical system wuldn't have figured that out on their own, let alone accept that it was the single solution.
