Here we go again, on to the next single-vitamin bandwagon. This time, the flavour of the month is Vitamin D. Everyday new research touts the benefits of Vitamin D: for MS, Cancer, Osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease. Personally, I have no doubts that Vitamin D can help with these conditions. However, by applying the ‘single-vitamin’ law we are simply mimicking the problematic one-magic-pill paradigm embedded deeply in Western society’s psyche.

After reading all the recent press about vitamin d, i decided to start taking it daily.  I'm taking a gram a day, which is the recco'd amount and I have to say.  I'm a little shocked at how much better i feel.  I mean, i wasn't depressed or down (or at least I thought I wasn't) and yet I feel almost giddy now.  Its a bit odd.  It's really altered my mood in a way that makes me feel just calmer and more focused too.  Maybe it's the placebo affect, I'm not exactly sure, but whatever it is, it's working pretty well.
