Vit d readings ?

[uv2021]

SS platinum reads 190 on vit d meter.What does this mean?UVB is at 1.6-9, meds are after 2 minutes 16-17. 5.0 is at 108.This bed is on the lowest setting.The glass is just settling down.

It just means 190 IU/minute (on 10% body exposure).

If in a bathing suit exposing say 80% body... that would be 8 x 190 = 1520 IU/min.

So for 2 min = 3040 IU total. And for 10 min = 15200 IU !!

Nice!!!

Using my super top secret formula with your Vit D reading.... I have uncovered that your SS Platinum is putting out 13.4 MED/hr.

That would be 21 minutes to 4 MEDs.... albeit nobody needs all 4 MEDs with HP. So a half Te session of ~10 minutes gives plenty of D3 - no problem.

BTW... if that is mattress bed then 10 min PER SIDE would be required for the same D3 totals.

So what would the variations of tan have the ability to produce vit d ?

How much would the irish produce vs a hispanic?

Did you get the .xls spreadsheet program with the meter ???

install it and play with the variables.

Steve & Stan, I think, got this app written.

Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

2021: Where did you get the meter? I email customers the xls spreadsheet when the meter is shipped.

An old fashioned floppy disk of it went to distributors who ordered some meters.

Using the xls utility you can raise skin types up from the default type 2 (Irish?) to type 4 (Hispanic?) and see how much less D3 they get for whatever meter reading and exposure time you enter. Also percent tan reduces D3, and percent body exposure is the biggest factor. All can be adjusted on the utility.

Wrong about what?

I just cloned one,so I don't have the email from you.Actually it was the one that you sent to a salon on Young st in Toronto.They have some reporters invited there tommorow ,could you do some math for me so that I can answer any vit d ? in relation to skin types.Sorry I am not too intelligent and have problems figuering thinngs out like this .

Thanks

I emailed the Yonge Street girl the utility. Can't she use it?

Roughly speaking... type 4 needs twice as much exposure as type 2 for the same D3 result.

Look at the dotted - dashed bars on the skin type graph above (post # 7) and you can see the relative differences from type 2.

One more thing:

If you are going to "Meet the Press" tomorrow (or Meet the Depressed as Rush Limbaugh calls them).... be aware that their mission is to scorn you for ratings. Good news doesn't sell.

So print out this Model 6.4 webpage and stick it in their noses when they start laughing at you and the meter: http://www.solarmeter.com/model64.html

It is based on pure peer-reviewed science.... with references available on request. Do NOT let them brush you off as a quack playing with a toy! It is a scientific instrument - worth at least 10 times more than it's $189 pricetag.

It's freindly press.I did not know to ask her about the software.Besides don't you prefer me asking here.It brings traffic to your section,and meybey someone else will buy one of your devices.

i saw three vit d meters for sell at Heartland garage sale...i walked about 10 feet...went back to get one...and.........they were gone!!!!!! I was too slow to make a great buy on one!!!

Well - What happened with the press?
