Vitamin D versus Tuberculosis
Been prattling on about Vitamin D for quite some time. Years even.
But that is only because the dozen or so research article titles I scan every morning keeping popping up D.

Sweet, sweet, nugget:
"ScienceDaily (Sep. 3, 2012) — For decades before antibiotics became generally available, sunshine was used to treat tuberculosis, with patients often being sent to Swiss clinics to soak up the sun's healing rays. Now, for the first time scientists have shown how and why heliotherapy might, indeed, have made a difference."

Do visit the Science Daily folks for this one, here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/09/120903154008.htm

With progressive antibiotic resistance it encourages me to see a combination therapy with a health promoting component.

Trying. Very hard. Not to. Rant. About. Antibiotic resistance.

This is a vitD post and this is the fascinating story that put me heads-up to vitD research: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/51913.php
