You have a far better chance of getting enough sun in your
part of the world than in say Canada or the northern trier
states of the lower 48 states of USA.
Still the only way to be absolutely sure
is to test, of course, you may judge that not to be
cost effective.

And yes it was spam, I think it got it start spamming for
customers on the Usenet, if that is who was posting it.
Still the grey market strontium citrate supplements are likely
helpful, if strontium ranelate prescription form are helpful.
The prescription form has company to press for
it use. But that proves nothing other than the
company knows how to sneer and fight legal
and political battles.

Larry is right on the need for a good workup of
the endocrine system. Unfortunately, most
endos aren't that good if replacing the needed
hormones i.e. testosterone, LH by way of the analog
HCG and will instead just use a bisphosphonate
or the rPTH.
