> > 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!

Oops! Saw my Neuro. on Friday. He said that the idea that vit. D deficiency causes nearsightedness is entirely speculative.
