That's a fascinating question, Lori. Good for you for trying to figure
it out more. It doesn't make sense to me, either, with all the sun and
the supplemental vitamin D. Seems like somehow your body isn't
absorbing it.

I can help with one of your questions, though. I take vitamin D in
liquid form that I get from my holistic doctor. They're made by
Biotics Research Corporation and are called Bio-D-Mulsion. He feels a
lot of us are deficient in vitamin D anymore, and that it leads to a
lot of problems, like depression, and possibly can even help fight cancer.
