Houston's ABC news affiliate ran a piece of Vitamin D and its affect on reducing serious health problems. The doctor interviewed said this:

There are three primary ways to get Vitamin-D.

"Sunlight, oily fish and supplements," said Dr. Mathis.

"But another powerful way, if you're not absorbing it, is to go to a tanning salon and get half of the amount of time that it would take to tan," said Dr. Mathis. "And you get several thousand units of vitamin D through your skin."

I have several people coming in for various doctor recs, most skin related, but a few come in for arthritis. The warmth and heat help alot. They've even stopped needing medication. A shame more doctors are not as educated and open.
