Dr. Sorenson, Ed.D.:

Yes, type 1 diabetes has a very close connection. In fact, we have a study out of Finland that showed that children who were supplemented with about 2000 International Units of vitamin D as infants had an 80 percent reduction in the chance of ever becoming a type 1 diabetic. So there’s a very close correlation to that. That’s an autoimmune disease which is a little bit different than type 2 diabetes.

About Dr. Marc Sorenson, Ed.D.:
Dr. Marc Sorenson, Ed.D., and his wife, Vicki, developed one of the top health resorts in the world, known as National Institute of Fitness (NIF). During their time at NIF their clients lost over one hundred tons of fat. Two thirds of diabetic guests were free of all medication in less than two weeks, and many others recovered from high cholesterol, hypertension, lupus, arthritis, migraines, asthma and allergies.
