The Vitamin D CouncilOur Mission

About Us

The Vitamin D Council is a group of concerned citizens that believe many humans are needlessly suffering and dying from Vitamin D Deficiency. We are incorporated as a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(e) educational corporation in the State of California. Our Board of Directors currently includes four physicians, including John Cannell as Executive Director. The board will eventually be expanded to 20 members.

Our goal is to educate the public and professionals about Vitamin D Deficiency and its numerous associated diseases. Our free newsletter has a circulation of over 24,000. The Vitamin D Council would like to sponsor a series of educational conferences aimed at the general public, physicians, and the press to alert them about the extent and consequences of Vitamin D Deficiency and the simple steps that can be taken to avoid it.

We are in the process of applying for grants from charitable foundations and have asked our Congressman, Bill Thomas, for help in obtaining funding. Donations would be appreciated and would allow us a more active and effective role in raising global awareness of the importance of vitamin D in human health. Tax deductible contributions should be made payable to the Vitamin D Council.
