Soram Khalsa - Vitamin D Revolution: How the Power of this Amazing Vitamin Can Change Your Life

Praise for The Vitamin D Revolution

Did you know that there is an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency in
America? Did you know that a lack of proper vitamin D has been
scientifically connected to 17 varieties of cancer, along with many
other life-threatening diseases? Did you know that vitamin D isnt
even a vitamin (its a hormone)? You will after reading this practical
and information-packed guide to a powerful (yet inexpensive) wonder
vitamin that can markedly improve your health. Ive experienced
firsthand that Dr. Soram is riding the wave of the medical future
focused on prevention, and combining the best of traditional
Western medicine with alternative approaches.

Dr. Soram Khalsa says; he is one of the most brilliant, well-researched,
and intuitive doctors I have ever met. Always three steps ahead
of everyone else, Khalsa is a wise sage who will lead us

The Vitamin D Revolution is a wonderful and very timely book for
the African-American community on becoming aware of the importance
of vitamin D. As a patient of Dr. Khalsa, I truly experience the
ultimate health and recommend this book to everyone.

Verdine White, co-founder of the Grammy
Awardwinning band Earth, Wind & Fire

Dr. Khalsa has written an easy to understand summary of the
current literature on vitamin D. He has nicely pointed out that we are
experiencing an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency, in great part due to the
use of sunscreen, protective clothing, and avoidance of sun exposure. Since
vitamin D deficiency is associated with osteoporosis and other medical
problems, and since it is so easily diagnosed and corrected, Dr. Khalsa is
performing a public service by increasing the awareness of this problem.
He has appropriately pointed out that studies that show an association
between low vitamin D levels and disease states do not necessarily
indicate that the disease is due to the vitamin D deficiency. Nevertheless,
he provides a reasonable argument that correcting a low vitamin D level
is a good thing to do, since there is very little downside, as long as one
does not take massive doses of the vitamin. He advocates measurement
of blood vitamin D levels to diagnose deficiency and to monitor therapy. I
applaud Dr. Khalsas strong advocacy for this important health issue.

Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California

This book simplifies vitamin D research on 20+ diseases, and
provides practical guidelines for patients and physicians concerning
finding optimal levels of vitamin D intake and serum targets for
25-hydroxyvitamin D. Youll enjoy reading it if youre interested
in preventive medicine and your personal health.
