I'm not a medical expert, and don't know how much this story is circulating in the US, but there has been a lot of heightened attention to it in the Canadian press recently. Since I'd imagine most of us likely work indoors and at computers, thought the article might be relevant.

A very recent study finds that:
1. ingested vitamin D is immunosuppressive
2. low blood levels of vitamin D may be a _result_ of the disease process and
3. Supplementation may make the disease worse.

So PI 9 is on point: we should go out in the sun. And you can't wear sunscreen and get vitamin D from the sun.
