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:

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