VITAMIN D HELPS SOOTHES CHRONIC ACHES AND PAINS

- FROM PAINTOPICS.ORG

Helping patients to overcome their chronic muscle, bone, or joint aches and

pains may be as simple, safe, and inexpensive as an extra daily supplement

of vitamin D. A new report from Pain-Topics.org reviews the evidence and

provides clinical guidance.

Chicago, IL, June 20, 2008 --(PR.COM)-- Pain is the most common complaint

leading patients to seek medical care and much of it is chronic, lasting 3

months or longer. According to an extensive review of clinical research in a

new report from Pain Treatment Topics, inadequate vitamin D intake has been

linked to a long list of chronic painful maladies, including bone and joint

pain of various types, muscle pain, fibromyalgia syndrome, rheumatic

disorders, osteoarthritis, and other complaints. Lack of vitamin D also has

been implicated in the mood disturbances of chronic fatigue syndrome and

seasonal affective disorder.

According to B. Leavitt, MA, PhD, editor of Pain Treatment Topics

and author of the report, " our examination of the research, including 22

clinical investigations of patients with various chronic pain and fatigue

syndromes, found that these persons almost always had inadequate levels of

vitamin D. When sufficient vitamin D supplementation was provided, the

aches, pains, weakness, and related problems in most of them either vanished

or were at least helped to a significant extent. "
