I’m amazed to see so little reference to the effects of Vit D to prevent cancer; we may have a silver bullet, yet very little coverage.

Final note – we are have low Vit D levels in our bodies because we now work indoors, and use sunscreen when outdoors

Timeline – Early 2005

Full double blind scientific study of thousands of menopausal women in the northern US to see what affect Vit D and calcium have on osteoporosis in older women.

Surprise findings: Vit D knocks cancer rates down by 50%, Vit D and calcium drop rates by 60%

This initiated an intense study of Vit D – how can it have such and effect on our body?

First findings – Scientific American article November 2007 “Cell Defenses and the Sunshine Vitamin” describes how Vit D is metabolized by the body. Findings – it strongly influences both the immune system, and individual cells use Vit D to fight viruses and bacteria. How, they do not know.

In March 2010 Danish scientists find Vit D activates the killer T cells in the immune system to latch onto its targets, too little Vit D relates to poor rates of attacking invaders, including cancer cells.

In an article at Discovery this March 2011, called Carbon-Nanotube Cancer Detector Can Catch Even a Single Marauding, Malignant Cell one doctor is quoted “Any improvement in detecting cancer’s spread is important, says MIT associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics Brian Wardle, because “of all deaths from cancer, 90 percent are … from tumors that spread from the original site.””

So an active immune system’s killer T cells will help destroy those cancer cells floating around the body. Is this the reason Vit D reduces cancer by 50%?

It really is there and I know it works!
