Dr. H on Food, Medicine and Life

I'm pleased to announce that we're starting something new. In the wake of the huge interest generated by my "hip blog", we're debuting a new section of drhoffman.com: A personal blog in which I will hold forth on essentially whatever is on my mind on a given week. This part of the website will be totally informal, raw, and unadulterated.

I think you'll find the new blog a welcome complement to the articles on health topics that I write for other parts of the website. Blogging will give me "quick turnaround" to express my thoughts on items of interest in the news, health breakthroughs, conferences I attend, or things that we're doing at the Hoffman Center.

Who knows: There might even be a movie, play, music or TV show review interspersed, or even some sports!

And don't forget to e-mail us your questions at drhoffman.@wor710.com to provide grist for the mill!

Be sure to check back here frequently for timely updates, and bookmark your web browser to make this page a favorite!

There's been a revolution in understanding vitamin D's role in health, and I'm happy to have been in the vanguard. Clinical Advisor is a journal directed at Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners. Especially with the advent of Obamacare, like it or not, there will not be enough doctors to service the huge influx of newly-insured patients. And with the emphasis on preventive care, PA's and NP's will be in an excellent position to test for vitamin D and initiate supplementation.

I hope this article goes a long way toward clearing up misconceptions about the toxicity of high-dose vitamin D, and introducing more front-line health care practitioners to its vast potential for prevention and healing.

"What Lies Behind the Vitamin D Revolution" is written for a professional audience, and is a little technical, but astute readers can learn a lot by accessing it at
