Republican Party off the mark for criticizing Seaton

During the recent primaries, the Republican Party maligned Paul Seaton (running as an Independent) for his promotion of vitamin D. Well anyone who has read the report showing why those of us living in the north have a deficiency of vitamin D, can readily understand the health benefits for all age groups.

How often have we heard of a legislator doing anything that can positively affect every resident of the state? I would say very rarely or almost never. Paul Seaton’s proposal that everyone consider taking extra vitamin D can reduce illness and, in turn, the cost of health care for all of us. Since I have been on this regimen, I can say that I personally can’t remember the last time I had an illness that prevented me from completing my daily schedule.

Copies of the vitamin D study are freely available from Paul’s office and if you are at all interested in protecting your personal health and that of your family you should read it and act on its advice. The worst that will happen is that you doctor bills will decrease, your lost job time will be reduced and you and your family will feel better.

Paul Seaton is on the mark on this one and cheap shots (no pun intended) by the Republican Party are badly missing the mark.
