Två studier har hittade att behandling med ordentliga doser D-vitamin minskade SYMPTOMEN för autism med 75%. Varför kastar vi inte pengar på denna form av preventiv forskning? Finns ju enorma samhällsbesparingar att göra. https://t.co/6MFB9GafzH

@jack_meditates @selentelechia Vaccination is not a binary decision. Which vaccines do you need at infancy? Measles, sure. Hep C, tho? How much Vitamin D are you (&baby) taking? 2k IU/day (adult) isn’t terribly effectual in studies. 5-10k is, and still within FDA range. https://t.co/0TnxRGE8iS
