Lindybill, I am sure you are aware of the arguments against using the machines. No safe way to do anything, is there? :>) Taking the softgels is so cheap and easy I see no good reason to do otherwise. Cost / benefit of getting safe amount of UVB exposure vs. not getting it weighs apparently heavily in favor of save UVB exposure. At least that's the latest of what I have read / heard from people who's opinion I trust. The idea is that you have to weigh the chances of getting, say colon, breast, prostate cancer vs. melanoma. The odds of getting a cancer in the first group far outweigh the chances of melanoma. For me, it is even more the case, since my father has colon cancer. As far as ways of getting Vitamin D (sun vs. supplement), given a choice, I would favor getting my D the way nature intended it. But I was taking D3 before I bought the tanning thing, and I certainly understand that someone else may have different preference. BTW, the Vitamin D I like was something called D3 dots by TwinLab. It has D3 + K2. These things are tiny, have pleasant flavor, and even my kids took them. Joe
