Stay away from vitamins in pill form. Get them the natural way via foods and as you said with vitamin D, sunlight. Since the vitamin industry isn't regulated at all, there's no way to tell what effects they're having on your liver in their highly processed form. We are built to get our vitamins and other nutrients from the food we eat, but we've become to lazy and want a quick solution to everything. I'm not saying go hug a tree and become a vegan....just saying eat your veggies.

Why should you stop drinking coffee? Coffee has been proven in multiple studies to not only improve liver activity but to also protect against cirrhosis.

Does anyone know of any economical ways to simulate sunshine for those of us who are now experiencing near perpetual twilight (assuming your workplace has few windows.) So many of these lamps are absurdly expensive, and there seems to be very little hard science behind their claims.If someone can find a good article reviewing those from a more scientific nerdy viewpoint (light spectrum graphs!) instead of a herbal voodoo standpoint it has my digg.Also, I'm no doctor, but I have been to a fair share of medical conferences as (as a sound tech) I'm fairly sure you can OD on all the vitamin D you want, but if you don't have any exposure to UVB radiation, its almost as good as nothing.I heard a great medical conference once specifically for the people of the north, from the standpoint of, None of of who don't fake tan get anywhere near dangerous levels of UV rays, and widespread vitamin D deficiency is a much greater health risk for a myriad of reasons, even if only for the health damages of insomnia, which for me is much greater in the winter, I sleep great all summer.

Little known trick. Sit in a hot bathtub everyday for 20 mins. This raises your body temp. inducing a mild fever. This helps you body kill off bacteria and enhance the immune system to fight a virus. Steam rooms, hot tubs, work just as well. 20 mins sitting on hot water seem boring then bring someone in with you. But use a condom.
