"However, researchers don't yet know what level is optimal for brain health or at what point vitamin D becomes toxic for humans, and this is a topic that deserves close examination."

Worm could offer Parkinson's clue
Dundee University researchers will study a simple worm called C. elegans to try to work out why the condition causes patient's brain cells to die.

The Parkinson's Disease Society has given the university �190,000 to carry out the research.
=======================
Ridiculous what some have to do to prove what is causing the problem.

I'm skeptical of all this vit D deficiency.

Everyone in America is supposedly deficient in Vit D.

Well I'm not giving in. The sun is my friend.

Read Dr. Hollick of the Boston University Vitamin D Clinic. Great reading on D deficiency.

I first started right around when the Infectious Disease MD indicated my daughter had chronic fatigue syndrome (before I learned he was biased against lyme).
