Vitamin D Council
April 3, 2009
Yesterday, Life Extension Magazine published the most comprehensive press article to date about vitamin D and autism:
The Link Between Autism and Low Levels of Vitamin D
Additional press articles about Vitamin D and autism will appear in the next few months.
Don’t forget to see our public service announcement about Vitamin D and pregnancy.
Today, I want to thank all of you who have supported the Vitamin D Council and my research and writings over the last six years. Some of you have made direct donations, which allowed us to continue in the lean years; I apologize if I did not send you a thank you note.
Some, like Bill Sardi, supported us when no one else did. Others supported us more recently by purchasing the vitamin D products on our website. Many supported us by simply reading our newsletters and website and then referring others to those publications. Some supported us by simply sending a thank you note.
A few of the things you have made possible:
Our readers were the first to learn that Vitamin D helped prevent influenza and other respiratory infections:
Pascal’s Wager and Pandemic Influenza
Our readers were the first to learn of Vitamin D’s remarkable effect in athletes:
Our readers were the first to learn of the problems with Vitamin D testing at Quest Diagnostics:
Our readers were among the first to learn that Vitamin D prevented heart disease:
Our readers were the first to read about Vitamin D’s role in autism:
None of this would have been possible without your support.
Thank you.
Finally, we are moving. My family has rented a house at 585 Leff Street in San Luis Obispo, CA. Behind our house is a building that will be the new headquarters of the Vitamin D Council. We also have a new Board of Directors . As you know, due to the lack of funding, we have had to monetize our website to continue in operation. Thanks to the generous help of Dr. Joe Mercola, we will soon have a new website and a new and steady source of income. Dana Clark will continue to be our incredible and underpaid webmaster. And, I hope to be able to work for the vitamin D Council full-time within the next several years.
