Sunscreen Chemicals are causing the Skin Cancer. Vitamin D = Sun is healthy for the human body. 🌞
Also, in another related video I learned wearing sunglasses tricks your body from protecting your skin from sun exposure and absorbing vitamin D. Only wear sunglasses if you're driving or avoid glare.
Hey... so I have been having really bad symptoms of what appears to be severely unmanaged ADHD with a flavor or possibly Autistic traits since Dec 2019-ish. It's grown worse and worse over the years until it's now affecting both anxiety and depression.
Now... I'm telling you this because I just got a new primary care Dr and I took the leap to tell him that I needed to get on whatever path might take me to getting treated and medicated for ADHD and immediately after I described my symptoms (including the meltdowns and near inability to function like I used to) he said, "Have you ever had COVID?" and I told him about how we think I was one of the early cases before the US was ever supposed to have COVID over here. (A really really bad "cold" that I couldn't get rid of and no meds would touch that lasted over a month - followed immediately by a spiral of my health over the next year into 3 autoimmune diseases and an array of other issues not covered by those.)
Right, so... here's the thing: when I told him that, he immediately wanted to check my vitamin B and vitamin D levels. We talked and apparently Vitamin D in particular can mimic all the horrid things I've been experiencing that both me and my therapist thought were ADHD. Guess what? My vitamin D was so low they now have me on 50,000IU Vit D capsules.
Now we wait and see. But... fun fact, if you even google Vitamin D deficiency symptoms and then long COVID, you'll see all the correlation he just immediately identified by looking at me and my chart and hearing my words. So just sayin', if you "developed ADHD" during the pandemic, it may not have been your masking falling away. It may, in fact, be Vitamin D deficiency. So... go forth with that knowledge and talk to your Drs.
Our bodies need the right amount of vitamin D to function as normal – both physically and mentally – and there's a growing amount of evidence out there linking a lack of vitamin D with depression.
Now a new meta-analysis of 41 previous studies suggests that taking vitamin D supplements can relieve depressive symptoms in people already diagnosed with depression, opening up a potential alternative option for treatment.
As well as controlling levels of calcium and phosphate in the body, it's thought that vitamin D helps to regulate various functions in the central nervous system – and earlier research on animals suggests it could even contribute to the control of chemical balances in the brain, which may explain the association between vitamin D and mental health.
"These findings will encourage new, high-level clinical trials in patients with depression in order to shed more light on the possible role of vitamin D supplementation in the treatment of depression," says Tuomas Mikola, doctoral researcher and lead author at the University of Eastern Finland.
