In reply to Vitamin D is likely better than a lightbox for SAD, posted by Elainep on February 2, 2005, at 18:44:11
> For all of you looking at buying light boxes, you might want to get your vitamin d levels checked first. There have been studies linking vit d to improvement in SAD, one which showed that it worked better than a light box. My daughter had her depression cured last year by a megadose of vitamin D (after a very simple blood test), she was 100% better in a week after months of mood changes, check out this page with info about vitamin D, including a link to the study about vitamin d being better than a light box.

I just recently doubled my dose of vit.D (3) from 400IU to 800IU. A couple of days ago I noticed an improvement in my vision. My nearsightedness isn't as bad. Then today someone told me that nearsightedness is a symptom of vit. d deficiency!I have to check up on that. I think some of my nearsightedness is due to age, but something is making my vision better. Maybe the B 12 I started a month or two ago, or the vit. D.
