Dr. Sorenson, Ed.D.:
So I said, “Sweetheart, I am writing about this vitamin D, and I think we need to go get you tested,” because she has olive skin which makes vitamin D much more slowly than white skin, like mine would. And so we had her checked out, and she was severely deficient. She was down to 18 nanograms. She should have been at about 60 nanograms per milliliter.
We put her on a large dosage of vitamin D for eight weeks, and after the eight weeks, her back pain absolutely disappeared. She is straight as a stick now, just nothing else, that with that one thing that helped her. Now of course, one example does not make research, but yes, the literature also is replete with examples of people getting much better through treatment of vitamin D if they have lower back pain.
