Information for this grassroots site was provided by Jim G. in California A Consortium Of Scientists, Institutions And Individuals CommittedTo Solving The Worldwide Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic The Daction project is an international public health project to solve the vitamin D deficiency epidemic. The major components of the project are Education: Diagnosis & Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency seminars. Tours to educate the public and health care personnel in brief (1-2 hour) presentations about the epidemic and recommended actions. Exhibits at major medical conferences. Testing of vitamin D levels GrassrootsHealth is sponsoring the use of blood spot test kits (laboratory analysis done by ZRT Labs) for a $60.00 fee to each individual. The tests are to be done twice a year by each individual along with the submission of some basic health data. The kits are not available as a ‘stand alone’ without health data. A 5 year study will be done with the data accumulated from the individuals tested to evaluate the results of the program in disease prevention and to help create a long term plan for public health. Medical institutions and groups are encouraged to contact Carole Baggerly, Director,carole@grassrootshealth.org to discuss how they can participate with their health plan participants. |
