Tongue If it were just this simply for PD
Sunshine 'protective' against MS
Guess spending time at Coquina Beach in Florida as a child...fourth generation native here...saved me from MS, but not from PD...LOL...not a laughing matter I know!

beach life
Some sun can be a good thing
People who spend more time in the sun as children subsequently have a lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS), a US study shows.

The University of Southern California team suggest UV rays offer protection by altering the cell immune responses or by boosting vitamin D levels.

An earlier study found women who took vitamin D supplements were 40% less likely to develop MS.

The latest research is published in the journal Neurology.
