Dr Davis,
I have read many of your articles and I have found very useful information on dealing with my diabetes and heart disease. I have found an article reporting on research on how the lack of vitamin D increases the amount of conversion of LDL to plaque. Is this article of interest to you?

This is a great article. I am fanatic about my patients Vit D levels as well.
We are seeing lots of patients with Metabolic Syndrome in our Neuropathy Clinics, some of whom are incorrectly being told they don't have diabetes and dont have neuropathy.
Vtiamin D, the hormone is likely a major key in many of the illnesses we see in private practice.
