vitamin D and childhood asthma

[Guest guest]

vitamin D and childhood asthma -

It seems increasingly likely that childhood asthma is but another

presentation of vitamin D deficiency.

At least two researchers at Harvard think so -

they think it is the result of maternal vitamin D deficiency.

However, I have heard from a number of parents who wrote to tell me

their child's asthma went away after taking vitamin D.

Also, a paper is in press that shows low vitamin D levels are a risk

factor for exacerbations of asthma in children.

So, it appears that childhood asthma can also be caused by simple

childhood vitamin D deficiency, and thus perhaps cured by simple

vitamin D.
