Rickets |
Rickets is due to a lack of vitamin D. Congenital nutritional
rickets present tremor, secondary hyperparathyroidism, craniotabes, low
vitamin D serum levels, hypocalcaemia, and weak muscle tone. 2003 Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine www.orthomed.org |
Vitamin D is needed for stomach to absorb calcium from food.
Vitamin D is made by skin from the sun's ultraviolet light. Dark
skinned people are less able to make vitamin D than light skinned people
and should be careful when choosing sunscreens. Some dairies have
added vitamin D to milk. Vitamin D is also found in cod and halibut
liver oil and was used by Europeans during WW1. Calcium is stored in
bones. When calcium is insufficient to regulate the heartbeat, the
kidneys will release a hormone to trigger a calcium release from the bones. Insufficient calcium and/or vitamin D may create rickets. www.darshaksanghavi.com Health Science editorial 11/7/05 www.bostonglobe.com |
Vitamin D is made by body via daily exposure to direct sunlight. |
