Recent, groundbreaking medical research has made a connection between Vitamin D deficiency and 17 types of cancers, including breast, colon, and prostate. Illnesses such as influenza, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and coronary heart disease have also been connected to a lack of this vitamin. Until not too long ago, not getting enough Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) was only associated with rickets, the childhood bone disease.

Now, Soram Khalsa, M.D., sheds new light on the power of this long-forgotten vitamin. He reveals how to recognize signs of Vitamin D deficiency, which has reached epidemic proportions in North America, and then shares insights from his Beverly Hills medical practice, where he normalizes his own patients’ Vitamin D levels for their optimal health.

Vitamin D Revolution Sets the Precedence on The Critical Need for Vitamin D

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is the second book I have read on vitamin D and, not surprisingly, we are severely deficient in this vital hormone. "Vitamin D Revolution" has left me more than convincing that vitamin D is monopolizing, in more ways than one, the metabolic processes in our body and deficiency can cause many malfunctions.

Nature calls for vitamin D to be synthesized from the sun. Having adequate levels of vitamin D can run many metabolic pathways throughout the body, targeting DNA, cells, tissues, and organs. Research claims that it prevents 19 different types of cancers. Dr. Spram Khalas, M.D., has impressed me on what he knows on vitamin D. Research on this powerful vitamin is still relatively young, but I hope prospective studies will shed more light on this important steroid hormone. When it comes to more discoveries about the effects of vitamin D, science is heading in the right direction. The next step is to convince medical doctors to make checking Vitamin D blood levels in every patient mandatory, to recommend adequate sun exposure, and have medical schools incorporate the importance of Vitamin D into their curriculum.

After doing my own independent research on vitamin D, in addition to reading "Vitamin D Revolution" and "Power of Vitamin D" by two knowledgeable doctors, I have come to believe that vitamin D can save lives, improve general wellness, and become an alternative method to pharmaceutical drugs in helping patients recover from bone disease and health problems.

A Valuable Resource for Basic Health Improvement.

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book has made a positive contribution to my own health in the past few months. I hope the ideas presented of the human body's needs for a more efficient level of nutritional intake will be widely read. The principles in this book have made a marked difference in my own health since March 2012.

On March 3,2012 I experienced excruciating pain and an ugly rash around the upper part of my body. This condition necessitated a quick trip to a hospital emergency room one evening. The condition was diagnosed as "typical T-4 Shingles," Herpes Zoster, that often occurs as an aftermath of a long-forgotten childhood bout with Chicken Pox!

In that ER, I received prescriptions for an anti-bacterial cleanser for treating the rash, and a strong pain medication, as well as advice that maybe an anti-histamine would be helpful in coping with the painful rash. The pain medication had horrible side effects, and barely diminished the pain of the rash. The anti-histamine just made me sleepy, and did little else. I was reminded of something my mother once said after a long time of coping with various medical treatments:
She said: "Now I understand why doctors call it 'practicing' medicine, because they just keep on practicing, never really getting it just right."

At the end of three months my symptoms had improved only slightly. The rash was healed, but there remained deep pain where the rash had appeared, and there was deep scarring from that rash. I was told by my doctor that I could not receive a vaccination against a future onset of Shingles as long as I experienced any symptoms of this attack. I also learned from my internet search that the pain could last the rest of my lifetime, because I am elderly. Very discouraging.

This information and continued pain caused me to explore the internet for more information. I found information about how to strentthen one's basic immune system, including data on which supplements to include to accomplish this. That is how I found this book, "The Vitamin D Revolution." This information has been most valuable to me in overcoming the Shingles symptoms, and seems to have brought significant improvement in my arthritic feet as well! I now have very little pain. I am so grateful for the information in this book.

This book is well-written, easy to read, and worth the reading time, especially if one needs treatment that is more than just a prescription to alleviate symptoms. The information in this book can actually bring about cures of many of our common ailments. Trust me. I am living proof that it is true, based on good science and great results.

One of the best things about this book is that it was offered as a free download for my Kindle. Thanks, Amazon.

Important information for everyone on the sunshine vitamin

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

Good information, but a bit dated. New studies show the importance of vitamin MK-7 (K2) when taking high doses of D3. I didn't see this in his book, but he does provide a website with this information. I wish he would update his book and make it available on Amazon instead of the older book.

Repetitive and Boring, But Good Information

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

Though I loved the information I picked up from this book, I found it boring and repetitive. The information I really wanted was tucked into the last few pages, yet by then I think I had figured it out. Like many non-fiction books, this one followed the method of telling us there's a problem, why we have the problem, and what research has been done. The problem was repeated over and over.

On the other hand, my personal experience with my doctors has made me more than curious about this vitamin. One doctor told me that I was vitamin D deficient. The next doctor told me I was too high in this vitamin, that it was toxic. This book proves that it is nearly impossible to have toxic amounts of D. That our bodies use this vitamin completely. And it seems that I have all the symptoms of adult rickets. Those are the symptoms of fibromyalgia, at least my experience of it. And I am now taking the amount of vitamin D that the first doctor advised me to take. I will follow through and get tested soon. And I will continue to research this and other methods to find my health again.

I would love to hear from others who have read this book or followed the higher vitamin D intake and find out how well it works for them. I do think people who are having health issues and those who would want to keep themselves healthy would find this book informational, at least.

Just awesome!

Unselfish and accurate info that I wish most doctors would tell their patients. Found out my D level was 11ng after my hematologist did some blood work. Was told to take 2000 IU. Within a couple months level went up to low 30 something. However, went to see an integrative doctor who thought it was a joke for my condition and put me on 10000 IU for 3 mos and 5000 to maintain level. I'm feeling great and all I can say is thank you Lord Almighty! And thank you for such great book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book may have been revolutionary at the time of writing, but it is very out of date. It advocates much lower vitamin D3 doses than Dr Coimbra to stop calcium build up in the arteries... HOWEVER... we now know that the addition of vitamin K2 keeps the arteries clear and puts the calcium into the bones where it should be, so much higher doses of D3 can be taken very safely for the vast majority of people. I'm taking 80,000 iu currently, as well as cofactors such as K2, magnesium, chromium picolinate, and B2. This is for bowel disease and seems to be working. The website for updates no longer exists, either. Anyone interested in taking D3 to cure or treat disease should look for something more recent, where the author understands the relationship between D3 and K2.

This could be true and worth reading as my experience backs some of this research.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 3, 2013

I have taken vit D combined with cal and mag for years. Recently adding some K2. My logic being, that having worked on an orthopaedic ward that I didn't want to end up with a fractured femur after the menopause. However something else has happened. Following a epidemic of influenza a couple of years ago I was the last man standing. I watched my colleges go down one by one and knew that it was eventually going to get me but it didn't . Following on from this it dawned on me that I'm never ill. I've not had a cold for over fifteen years and my annual bouts of tonsillitis have also long gone. I casually mentioned this to a person who was talking about how nutrition can help us with our immunity. She immediately asked if I was taking vit D. When I said I was, for prevention against loss of bone density after the menopause, she told me that was the reason why I didn't get ill. So this book backs up this theory. It would be great if it prevented all the other things mentioned as that would mean that I unwittingly have set my self up for a healthier life in my old age. I am now wondering, if at 50 that my ability to be more active than many of my friends is also down to vit D. This has the added benefit of saving me from the dreaded middle age spread. I don't mean going to the gym every day. I never go there. I just seem to be able to do more on less sleep. Who knows ????

Interesting, if rather fervent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

I'm not going to say that this book has changed my life, that it's radical, ground-breaking etc. as some people might but it does give you pause for thought, particularly for us unfortunates not living near the equator. The Doc says that at our latitude, we won't be getting any Vitamin D from November to March (due to the position of the sun). This is almost correct - I did absorb a few rays at the end of February on one of the only sunny days. The message is to supplement which sounds like a good idea during those winter months but I still don't think that supplements can really give you the same effect as the real deal although I take them anyway. My message is to go on holiday to warmer climes - change your summer holiday to a winter one. Try these for children: KIDS VITAMIN DCALCIUM SOFTIES 30 STRAW 30 CAPS .

Having just been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency myself I came home from the doctors and downloaded this book onto my Kindle. It is so informative. Why didn't I know all this year's ago. I've been suffering with fatigue for years. Having previously been told by a doctor that I was just lazy!
I'm glad that I finally have an answer to my fatigue and just want to start reclaiming my life to the full. I am determind to spread the word about vitamin D and help my family members with this information. A great book. So glad I got it. A must read.
