I just saw your post and had to comment.
I am wondering what a Vitamin D deficiency doesn't cause. I have Multiple Sclerosis...this vitamin deficiency is linked with that...with depression...and now asthma (I have all of the ailments listed above).
Last time I had blood work done I was found to be severely deficient in my Vitamin D. I am taking the mega doses of Vitamin D...but I am still using my inhaler. I know the Vitamn D is no cure but what exactly does it do when you are at the appropriate level? If you already have these ailments or conditions...will it make them better?
Thanks for reporting on this association...I had no idea.
