Vitamin D deficiency in the African-American community of the United States is epidemic. You may have noticed the comments in the front of my book for my dear friend Verdine White of Earth Wind and fire. He and I are working together with others to try to inform the African-American community of the importance of taking vitamin D and optimizing their levels. It is good that you're sunbathing but as you will know from my book African-Americans can require up to five to 10 times the amount of sun as a Caucasian person to raise their vitamin D levels. It would be best for you to get a blood test for vitamin D to see where your level is now. In my experience optimizing vitamin D levels can help get blood pressure to get under control. However they do not take the place of other medications. Dr Soram Dear Yvonne,

I'm delighted that you have such an aware doctor, who drew your blood, and has put you on a treatment protocol that is helping you feel so much better. Be sure to measure your blood tests occasionally to make sure that your dose is staying correct. I'm so glad you're feeling much better Bianca! it surely sounds like you had osteomalacia, which you will know from my book I also had!

Still I battle controling my BP! I prefer Chinese/holistic medicine to synthetic drugs. However, this past year, due to my BP being so high I've taken 3 different drugs, Maxzide, Norvasc & Tekturna and none of them have been sufficient. I question if my out of balance female hormones in conjunction with hereditary hypertension is part of the problem? And if I increase my Vit D3 if that will help balance my female hormones, and thus decrease my BP? Is there a connection? By the way, I sun bathe daily! i just turned 50, 5′9 tall, 170lbs, Black female. i get approx 3 hrs. cardio/wk, and I am very deliberate about my eating. Still I battle controling my BP!
