Depending on where you live, sun exposure in the winter is often not effective for vitamin D production. Has to do with the angle of the sun, & the necessary rays not making it through. Most of the United States is not getting the right rays in the winter.AnneOn Apr 4, 2011, at 6:40 AM, Ariel Monserrat wrote:

Sperti makes a vitamin D lamp -- a sun lamp that is supposedly designed to help the body make vitamin D. I bought one, but embarrassingly, I haven't really used it systematically. One of the times I DID use it, I had a really sore shoulder. The lamp only runs for a really short cycle -- 5 minutes maybe? (I don't remember exactly.) It felt so good on my sore shoulder that I ran it for an extra cycle. I mean, COME ON. Five minutes is nothing! I got quite a sunburn. Admittedly, I am fair & burn more easily than most, but I would caution you to be VERY careful about using this sucker. It is more intense than normal sunlight, by an order of magnitude.They sell the lamp with a pair of eye goggles, claiming that the rays can damage their eyes. This is of concern, given that some authorities say you should not wear sunglasses when getting your sun exposure. However, since this light is so powerfully concentrated, I would recommend that you use the goggles or close your eyes. I don't know if any research covers this!It is also worthy of note that you don't want to take a shower right after using a vitamin D lamp. According to some of the stuff I have read, it takes a while for the body to turn the light into vitamin D, & whatever the process is, it takes place on the surface of the skin. You can actually wash the stuff off you before it has a chance to penetrate. (In fact, I think that FULL penetration takes 24 hours. Not only were our ancestors out in the sun more, they bathed less.)Like every "easy" solution, it does raise more questions! The good news is that if supplements become unavailable, you can keep on using a sun lamp.

[Guest guest]

I have had some of Mercola's full spectrum bulbs...I just looked it up, & I ordered them at the very end of 2007, so I received them early in 2008, which would be a little over 3 years ago. (And 2 plus 2 is 4, by the way.) I bought a dozen bulbs when we still had bulbs left on the shelf, & since then, they have all gone into service. But what I can't tell you is the important bit -- how many of them have crapped out. I put dead CFLs in 2 ziplock baggies before we put them in the bin, because I have such a horror of them breaking & releasing mercury into the house, & I get my husband to take them in for safe disposal as often as I can prevail upon him to do it. I know I have recycled some of them already (which is to say, sent them for proper disposal, & I hope everybody else does the same), but I don't know how many. (I was thinking the other day that they didn't last long at all -- but I didn't really remember that it had been 3 years... How long is a CFL bulb supposed to last, anyway?)In terms of the light, it is fine. In terms of the cost, it is high. In terms of the durability, I can't say. (I always MEAN to write the install date on the base of a CFL, so I can see how long it worked. But I always forget. They mostly look pretty much the same, so you can't remember individual bulbs.)As for getting vitamin D from full spectrum bulbs, some are fuller than others. The rays you want to promote vitamin D are UVB, so verify with the manufacturer that their bulbs produce it. Sometimes "full spectrum" only seems to mean that they have the full spectrum of visible light. Most of the pet store lights seem to state clearly that they make UVB rays, because that is necessary for their purpose. But some of the cheap bulbs may not produce it. (You know how it is going with Chinese imports these days. As long as you can't prove it by looking, some of the companies put in any kind of toxic crap, or leave out something important.)AnneOn Apr 4, 2011, at 7:51 PM, nil wrote:

Buy your bulbs at the pet store. Cheaper and the good rays will be gone before the bulb burns out. That is why we had to replace the bulbs once a year in the reptile cages.

That's very interesting. Vitamin D awareness is highly variable. I consulted a naturopath for help with my (adult) autistic son, & she blanched when I said I had him on 2,000 units, saying with a gasp, "But that's a THERAPEUTIC dose!" His test scores came in slightly below the middle of average, which many vitamin D experts now consider way too low, so I increased his dose -- but I didn't tell the ND, who was happy that his score fell within range. It is really hard to weave your way through the conflicting opinions!AnneOn Apr 4, 2011, at 12:13 PM, <kldett@...> wrote:

That IS funny. One of the docs I've seen brought up vitamin D with me (and it

was on MY list for that appt!). She said everyone in that office was on 1000iu.

And this is a very conservative office! I'm surprised your ND was surprised at

2000iu

Don't have data) and need to be naked so that 85% of our bodies are exposed for
