He stresses vitamin D from foods alone may be insufficient, and breast milk lacks adequate vitamin D for infants without supplements. Jeanie McAllister, diagnosed deficient, reports improvement with supplements and avoids sun due to skin sensitivity.

Schwab execution set in Florida death chamber
Schwab faces execution after two prior lethal injection challenges were rejected. Junny Rios Martinez’s family, tracking the countdown on a memorial site, said they won’t comment as years of appeals end. Schwab killed Junny a month after an early release for raping a 13 year old, having posed as a reporter to lure the victim. The case spurred Florida’s 1992 Junny Rios Martinez Act restricting early release for sex offenders. The death warrant sets the date at the Florida State Prison death chamber in Starke near Jacksonville.
