I was overweight, with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. I was taking three different medications (plus a statin to lower cholesterol) and living in a kind of "fog," with decreasing hope. I stumbled upon information that screamed, "Lose weight to save your life!
I lost beaucoup pounds and the four medications. I replaced them with natural supplements (vinegar, cinnamon, chromium picolinate, fenugreek, turmeric, etc.) and exercise.

According to a UCLA study, Blacks are more likely to suffer from significantly lower levels of vitamin D than Whites, due to the melanin in the skin that blocks a major portion of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun, a major source of vitamin D. Living in a northern climate, during the winter months, with very little sunshine, makes it especially difficult to receive sufficient vitamin D to protect against the flu, colds and other respiratory ailments. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with early death along with 23 different forms of cancer. While certain foods such as fish, milk and broccoli are good sources of vitamin D, you still need to supplement with a daily dose of 2000 to 5000 IU's of vitamin D3.
