      About the Author

      Acknowledgments

      Passion. Inspiration. Dedication. Commitment. Respect. Warmth. Understanding. Love. These words describe positive emotions of special people whom I wish to acknowledge.

      First, I would like to thank Suzanne Somers for speaking in plain English about the value of pursuing natural solutions to health and aging issues. In 2007, I was seeking answers as to why I felt so poorly. Subsequently, I attended one of Suzanne’s seminars and was captivated by her message. She helped me understand my issues and motivated me to address them to enjoy a better quality of life. Several years later I had the pleasure of meeting Suzanne after her lecture to members of the prestigious American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. I commended her for encouraging me to journey on the path to wellness. Thank you, Suzanne, for your tireless and impassioned dedication to promoting awareness of natural health and aging solutions to people from all walks of life.

      I extend my gratitude to those researchers, both scientists and medical professionals, who tirelessly conduct studies and trials to understand better vitamin D. I have been privileged to be in the same room with such renowned experts, including John J. Cannell, MD; Cedric F. Garland, DrPH; Frank C. Garland, PhD; Ed Gorham, MPH, PhD; William B. Grant, PhD; Robert Heaney, MD; and Reinhold Vieth, PhD. In addition, I offer the greatest respect and gratitude to other renowned researchers, including Edward Giovannucci, MD, ScD; Michael Holick, PhD, MD; Bruce Hollis, PhD; Joan Lappe, PhD; and Vin Tangpricha, MD, PhD.

      Thank you to those who volunteer their valuable time to promote the wonders of vitamin D3. Carole Baggerly is a breast cancer survivor who runs the non-profit organization Grassroots Health to educate medical professionals and the public about how vitamin D3 may prevent cancer. John J. Cannell, MD, the founder and executive director of the Vitamin D Council, maintains an informative website about vitamin D and is a pioneer of thinking outside the box about the benefits of vitamin D3.

      Many thanks to Bobbie Christensen. Her sage tutelage from a seminar at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has inspired me throughout the writing and publishing process.

      Introduction

      An old adage suggests that everyone has at least one book in them. I believe every human being on earth has at least one story to tell that could entertain, educate, or help people cope with life’s challenges. An avid reader since elementary school, I dreamed of authoring a book, drafting title names, and musing about seeing my book in a library. Back then, there were neither chain bookstores nor the Internet. School libraries provided the primary source of my reading enjoyment, save the precious tomes that I owned.

      My passion for reading and writing provides a vehicle to help others become aware of the marvelous benefits of vitamin D3 supplementation. During vitamin D seminars in Toronto and California, the moderator challenged each participant to commit to how he or she would advocate the wonders of vitamin D3. My response was to write a book that everyone could understand. Hence, here is my effort to promote understanding an easy, safe, and incredibly cheap solution to enjoying better health. Moreover, I sincerely hope that you will take action to make vitamin D3 a routine part of your life and that others who are important to you will do so as well.

      Defend Your Life comprises three parts. The first addresses the fundamentals of vitamin D3 and its awesome benefits as well as minimal risk. The second highlights select diseases and conditions about which vitamin D3 may offer protection. The third includes my personal vitamin D3 story, including my theory about adequate vitamin D3 levels and how you can defend your life.

      Plane Sense

      Settling into my airplane seat, I felt relieved. I no longer needed to be concerned about packing, traffic, luggage, and airport security. Now I could relax! Looking forward to visiting my family in suburban Philadelphia, I briefly closed my eyes. But it was difficult to settle in completely as I knew someone would be occupying the seat next to me. Peeking into the seat pocket and finding a gently used, in-flight magazine, I tucked into a story that distracted me from the seemingly incessant line of boarding passengers, most of whom were concerned about stowing their carry-on baggage.

      Near the conclusion of the boarding process, a slight, frail middle-aged man pointed to the unoccupied seat next to me. I stepped into the aisle, and he slowly slunk into the seat. Before fastening his seat belt, he donned a blue, surgical face mask. Sitting only a few inches from him, I could not help visualizing the then-recent media images of people in nearby Mexico wearing similar
