According to this page, there is plenty of research to show that Vitamin D is a cure-all that folks just don't know about:
> We see expensive commercials every night during prime time for expensive and patented pharmaceuticals ... but we never see any similar advertisements mentioning that study after study has shown that simply (and inexpensively) maintaining sufficient levels of Vitamin D can work to prevent rickets (that's well known) but also 17 types of cancer ... lower blood pressure, improve immune system function (prevents colds and flu), autoimmune function, inflammation, multiple sclerosis, autism, allergies, preeclampsia, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis (also well known) depression, muscle and bone weakness and generalized pain.
The natural supplement industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, and has been for a long while. If Vitamin D was the panacea that Mr. Gibson is representing it to be here, I'm sure that GMC would be running ads about treating "autism and cancer" with Vitamin D non-stop.
Further, if Vitamin D did all of the above, I can assure you that pharmas would be researching the mechanism of action to create effective derivatives.
If a treatment is effective and it isn't a super rare disease, you'll find a pharma somewhere selling it somehow.
