Just One Pill Away by Bill Sardi by Bill Sardi Humanity is on the verge of a gigantic leap forward in health promotion with rapid-fire discoveries that a single vitamin pill may vanquish cancer and heart disease, the two leading causes of mortality in the U.S., as well as quell autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus), diminish the occurrence of diabetes, reduce obesity, and effectively treat multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and high blood pressure, plus conquer the common cold and even defeat tuberculosis, an infectious lung disease that affects one-third of the people of the world.
Literally leading medicine "out of dark ages" is the sunshine vitamin — vitamin D.

What doesn't vitamin D cure? Family Farms. Boston + localvore. Eat Wild.
