How to Dramatically Decrease Cancer Deaths
During the last decade, several noted Vitamin D research studies have determined that higher levels of the active and circulating form of vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, are linked to dramatically lower rates of colon, prostate, breast, ovarian, kidney and pancreatic cancers.
Doctors and researchers once thought that its function was to only regulate our bones and calcium metabolism. But recent research has clearly demonstrated its importance in regulating literally thousands of our genes. Vitamin D is also different from other vitamins, such as C and E which are anti-oxidants. Vitamin D is in fat a hormone that plays a critical role in ever cell in our bodies.
Recent research studies have linked its deficiency to flu epidemics, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, asthma, osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and other diseases.
Vitamin D’s recently discovered actions and population studies suggest a new model of cancer can be considered.
Dr. Cedric Garland of the University of California, San Diego believes that 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colon cancer can be reduced each year in the US and Canada with appropriate vitamin D levels. He also believes 75% of all deaths from cancer in these two countries could be reduced as well if the active level of vitamin D is raised to 50 to 60 ng/ml.
He says there are no unreasonable risks from taking 2000 IU per day of vitamin D3 or from the elevated blood level of vitamin D 3. He also says that the time has come for a nationally coordinated effort to dramatically increase vitamin D intake that would not only prevent these tragically and costly diseases, but would also significantly improve our nation’s quality of life and level health.
This is stunning information, in my opinion, especially for people with a family history of these cancers. I’ve seen people worry themselves chronically about the possibility of cancer developing. Now, with a simple test for the vitamin D3 level and taking supplements, what could be easier? And consider the relief of mind from the worry surrounding yearly tests, checkups, etc.
Sometimes, easy solutions are the most difficult ones to grasp.
