I read the original version of this book almost 3 years ago and it was ahead of it's time. Since then a number of other books on the subject have been published, but, this remains the best as it is very thorough, easy to read and scientifically documented.

We live in a time when most people spend a great deal of time indoors and consume only limited quantities of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is produced by sunlight falling upon your skin. As a result there is an epidemic of Vitamin D deficiency in America that is having a major impact upon our health. This results in billions of dollars of medical costs and untold suffering.

Solar Power for Optimal Health may help you make significant improvements in your health. It will explain why the RDA for Vitamin D is obsolete and give you information about determining your need using a medical test. It is written in a clear and easy to understand style with a summary at the end of each chapter. It presents an analysis of the science and studies about Vitamin D that is more extensive and up to date than any other source I know of.

Over the years I have tried thousands of nutritional supplements and there are only a handful that have a profound effect on health. Taking Vitamin D in adequate amounts is one of them. I personally need 5000 IU a day which is over 10 times the RDA just to score in the middle of the normal range on a vitamin D blood test. This book will explain exactly how health is effected by sunlight and Vitamin D and help you move in the direction of optimal health. Thanks to Marc I have now been on Vitamin D for almost 3 years and continue to notice the benefits.

DON'T LET THE MEDIA SCARE YOU..OPEN YOUR EYES..EVERY LIVING THING NEEDS SUN TO THRIVE!! MONEY..that is what it is all about!! I am in my late 50's and have been seeing a dermatologist for years. I only have skin problems on my legs because they never saw the sun! My face, shoulders, arms have no squamous cells, but my legs do! So what that tells me is the sun is good for your skin! So after reading this book, I have embraced the sun in small amounts. It is common sense. This book will open your eyes to how swayed we are by all the bs we are fed on a daily basis through the media. Autism..more prevelant than ever..colds and flu outbreaks when we are not getting our sunlight! Stop poisoning yourself with sunscreen, but still remember "EVERYTHING IN MODERATION".... like the good old days! Who are all these EXPERTS anyway? We are sicker than ever, aren't we? Think about it!

I have researched 100's articles & reviews on PubMed regarding Vitamin D3. I've read five well written, passionate books on the subject & perused articles on Dr. Ben Kim's & Dr. Mercola's websites. This book condenses all that information, distilling it all into one brilliantly researched, concise powerhouse of a book.
Each assertion & statement is referenced- up to 100 odd per chapter. At the end of each chapter is a concise summary. It's more a textbook, albeit a most interesting & engrossing one.
If you had all the knowledge & latest information on every study published on this subject, if it's not in this book, Dr Sorenson will tell you where to find it.
Most importantly, it debunks the misinformation spewed out by the a. sunscreen industry with their cancer forming products & b. misinformed dermatologists.
The book REALLY CAN save you life!
