The human body, nutritionally is approximately 63% water, 33% protein and fat, 4% minerals and less than 1% vitamins, enzymes, etc. Vitamin diagnosis (deficiency or excess)is, in general, a misleading unless related to the overall, larger picture: protein and fat deficiency.

There are only two kinds of nutrients: building and and cleansing, as the body builds up and breaks down (cleanses). Protein and fat build, thicken, fuel and heat. Water, sugar, minerals, vitamins, etc. reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.

Vitamin A, D (three kinds), E and K are a fat soluble vitamins. Vitamins B and C are water soluble. Vitamin D deficiency (micro diagnosis), in general, is not separate from a much larger protein and fat deficiency (macro diagnosis). It is just one aspect of a protein and fat deficiency, just like a wave is one aspect of the ocean. The wave does not define the ocean. The ocean (protein and fat) defines the wave (vitamin D).

Nutritional, protein and fat deficiency, is one cause of Vitamin D deficiency. Poor digestion is another. Digestion trqnsforms foood, nutrients into blood, structure and function. Poor digestion transforms less, reducing nutrient, protein, fat, Vitamin D absorption, blood, creating deficiency symptoms, diseases (fatigue, pallor, coldness, and in the extreme, weak, thin bones, teeth, skin, hair, nals, etc.

Proper diet, not vitamin D supplements, cures this type of Vitamin D deficiency, as there are three kinds of Vitamin D. D-2 is from food sources (requires strong digestion). D-3 (most potent) comes from the sun. It is converted by the skin (face, arms, etc.) into active Vitamin D. D-5 is synthetic and difficult to absorb, activate.

D-3 is the most important, most potent,active. Twenty minutes exposure to the sun three times a week is more than sufficient in providing active Viatmin D. If you live in a dark, overcast climate, then you will need to eat more protein and fat, which are high in Vitamin D.

D-2 is commonly found in eggs, fish, dairy, butter, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, vegetable oils, etc. Poor diet, low protein, low fat and or high carbohydrate (grains, pasta, bread, vegetables, especially salads, tropical fruits, juices, sugar, etc.) in the, extreme, tend to create protein and fat, Vitamin D deficiency. It also weakens digestion.

Protein and fat, Vitamin D deficiency tends to occur faster in children, whose overall energy, function is weak as they are phsyicaly immature, still developing.

The following is the recommended middle diet, meal plan.

1/3 protein and fat: Chicken, turkey, eggs, hard cheese, beans, nuts and seeds

1/3 grain (whole, cracked, noodles, bread)

1/3 vegetables, 3- 5 cooked, not overcooked: carrots with tops, broccoli, cabbage, kale, collard greens ceelry, hard squash, cauliflower, etc. and fruit (1). Reduce, avoid tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant. Reduce tropical fruits, sodas, sugar and cold drinks. Eat organically grown, if possible.

Spices (cardamon, cumin, coriander, fennel, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, cinnamon, etc) increase digestion, help prevent colds, flus. etc. Use in soups, vegetable dishes, desserts, etc.

Soup (at the beginning) and tea (at the end).
