This book will change your behavior and relationship with the sun

This excellently researched book by Dr. Sorenson is an eye-opener! It convincingly destroys a number of the myths (promoted by skin protector industries) that have focussed on skin protection rather than on the vitally beneficial (Vitamin D) benefits of sun exposure. I have heard Dr. Sorenson lecture on the subject, then read the book, then began application of the principle concepts. Just today I had the mother of one of my clients tell me what healthy looking skin I have (I just turned 80 years old last week). She asked what I used to keep it that way. I told her it was exposure to sunlight and UVB in particular. She was incredulous.

Excellent!

Thank you Dr. Sorenson for writing the book Solar Power. It is excellent! I have the books of Dr. Kime, Hobday, Holick and Ott but your book is the best because it is based on so many scientific research.

The Definitive Book on Vitamin D and Sunshine

We live in a time when most people spend a great deal of time indoors and consume only limited quantities of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is produced by sunlight falling upon your skin. As a result there is an epidemic of Vitamin D deficiency in America that is having a major impact upon our health. This results in billions of dollars of medical costs and untold suffering. Solar Power for Optimal Health may help you make significant improvements in your health. It will explain why the RDA for Vitamin D is obsolete and give you information about determining your need using a medical test. It is written in a clear and easy to understand style with a summary at the end of each chapter. It presents an analysis of the science and studies about Vitamin D that is more extensive and up to date than any other source I know of. Over the years I have tried thousands of nutritional supplements and there are only a handful that have a profound effect on health. Taking Vitamin D in adequate amounts is one of them. I personally need 5000 IU a day which is over 10 times the RDA just to score in the middle of the normal range on a vitamin D blood test. This book will explain exactly how health is effected by sunlight and Vitamin D and help you move in the direction of optimal health.
