Why are doctors reluctant to accept vitamin D

Monday April 23, 2012

We had been speculating why the medical profession has been so slow to accept vitamin D.
Probable reasons appear to include:

Myth: Excess vitamin D will turn the human body into marble
Reversal of position for many previous supplements.
Risk being sued if exceed guidelines
Experts do not agree
Doctors were rarely been trained in nutrition
Emphasis on treatment, not prevention
Doctors often can only prescribe D2 anyway
Seems like too much of a “wonder drug”
Fear possible loss of income

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary is dependent upon his not understanding it” Upton Sinclair
