Boosting levels of vitamin D 'could cut cancer by up to 25%',

Boosting levels of vitamin D 'could cut cancer by up to 25%'
By Harcharan Chandhoke

Giving everyone higher levels of vitamin D as part of a public health drive could cut the incidence of breast cancer by a quarter and bowel cancer by a third, scientists say.

The finding is based on a review of 2,750 research studies involving vitamin D -  which show that taking daily supplements could play a key role in cancer prevention.

Vitamin D - often called 'bottled sunshine' - is made by the action of sunlight on the skin.


Sun saviour: Vitamin D, which is made by the action of sunlight on the skin, is effective in preventing cancer and conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, claim scientists

But the gloomy weather and long winter in countries north of 30 degrees latitude such as the UK leaves people deficient of the vitamin between October and March.

A US and Canadian government taskforce is examining whether the current recommendation for people to achieve a blood level of vitamin D equivalent to taking 200-600 international units (IU) a day should be increased.

The same level is recommended in the UK, where official policy is that sun exposure and diet (oily fish and eggs contain vitamin D) are sufficient to achieve it, without supplements, for most adults.

But an increasing body of cancer and other medical experts say a healthy intake of vitamin D should be five to 10 times higher.

Writing in the Annals of Epidemiology, Professor Cedric Garland and colleagues from the University of California, San Diego, say if everyone took 2,000 IUs of vitamin D a day - the current maximum recommended in Canada - it would save an estimated 200,000 cases of breast cancer and 250,000 cases of bowel cancer worldwide.

He first recognised the link when, as a young doctor in the late 1970s, he used to drive with his brother across the US from sunny California to John Hopkins University on the snowy east coast.

He found bowel cancer was more common in the north and east of the country than in the south and west and while cancer specialists at the time looked for an explanation in the amount of fibre in the diet or the way meat cooked on a barbecue, the Garland brothers suspected a link with climate.

But 25 years later their ideas are being taken more seriously.

Vitamin D has attracted increasing attention in recent years as its role in preventing cancer and other conditions including heart disease, diabetes and multiple sclerosis, has been revealed.

The weight of evidence has grown so dramatically that governments around the world are reviewing their recommendations. As well as the US and Canadian government taskforces on vitamin D, the Scottish government is taking expert advice.

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have been awarded a £225,000 grant to investigate the link between low levels of vitamin D in Scotland and bowel cancer.

The pressure is now on the Department of Health in England to respond.

D-vitamin föreslås mot svininfluensa,

D-vitamin föreslås mot svininfluensa
Publicerad 18 augusti 2009 kl. 04:00

En rejäl daglig dos D-vitamin kan vara ett gott skydd mot svininfluensan. Det anser professor emeritus Stig Bengmark

Höganäs. I ett debattinlägg i tidningen Dagens medicin skriver Stig Bengmark att D-vitaminet kan vara ett komplement till de H1N1-vacciner som nu produceras för fullt på flera håll i världen. D-vitamin har väldokumenterade antiinflammatoriska effekter. Även om dess förebyggande verkan mot influensa endast studerats i en mindre undersökning, kan det vara värt att pröva. Vitamin D-profylax är en billig metod utan biverkningar, hävdar han.

Enligt studien som gjorts i USA minskade förkylningar och influensasymtom med cirka 60 procent hos dem som fick extra D-vitamin jämfört med en kontrollgrupp. Högre doser gav bättre resultat.

Solljuset är vår främsta D-vitaminkälla. Det faktum att influensaepidemier framför allt härjar om vintern och på höga breddgrader har satts i samband med bristen på solljus.

— Vintertid uppstår D-vitaminbrist här i Norden. Mellan den 1 oktober och 1 april får vi inget nettotillskott av solen och efter ett tag är kroppens depåer uttömda, säger Stig Bengmark.

En timmes sommarsol mitt på dagen täcker däremot behovet för nästan en hel vecka - under förutsättning att man solar hela kroppen. Men att uppmana folk att sola mer och oskyddat är kontroversiellt på grund av de ökade riskerna för hudcancer.

Återstår då att stoppa i sig piller som innehåller syntetiskt framställt D-vitamin.

— Det D-vimanin som finns i vissa livsmedel räcker inte för att komma upp i de mängder som behövs, anser Stig Bengmark.

Själv tar han en daglig dos om 4000 IE året runt. Det är en ganska hög dos, som dock bara motsvarar 12 minuter utan kläder under en brännande middagssol.

— Jag gillar inte att ligga och sola. Det är så tråkigt.

Så varför hör vi inte så mycket om detta?
Enkelt, vitaminer går inte att patentera och ska man vara lite ironisk så ligger det inte i läkemedels bolagens vinstintresse med en friskare befolkning under vinterhalvåret

Om ni inte läst dokumentet i första posten så värt att nämna är att det finns inget sätt här i norden att få i sig tillräckligt mycket D vitamin under vinterhalvåret och under den andra delen bara om du är ute tillräckligt i solen.

Tyvärr så är vi på väg mot något som heter Codex Alimentarius och fullt implementerat så kommer man inte att kunna köpa vitaminer i doser som spelar någon roll, ett skämt? tyvärr inte, finns lite att läsa på den här länken,

Som alltid så använder man sitt sunda förnuft,

D-vitamin går att överdosera.
Om man köper D vitamin som supplement så rekommenderar jag ex.vis Pharma Nord (har ingen knytning till dom) som tillverkas i EU, ett förtag med gott anseende och att undvika "luriga burkar" från okända tillverkare.

Media hoax exposed: Recent attack on vitamins a fabricated scare campaign,
http://www.naturalnews.com/033883_vitamins_mortality_risk.html

.........Caught yet again, the mainstream media has been exposed pulling off a juvenile, simplistic hoax that attempts to scare people away from good nutrition. To accomplish this hoax, they took a poorly-constructed "scientific" study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine which was itself based on erroneous conclusions (see below) and then blatantly misreported what the study data actually showed.

This journal is owned, not surprisingly, by the American Medical Association, which has a long and sordid history of openly attacking vitamins and nutrition, even to the point of committing crimes that violate federal law. Remember, the AMA has been found guilty of conspiracy in federal courts...........

Vitamins are deadly? Media hoax exposed, part two,
http://www.naturalnews.com/033893_mainstream_media_vitamins.html

..............Never mind that twice as many Americans die each year from FDA-approved pharmaceuticals as died in the entire Vietnam War. Never mind that even the FDA's own top scientist -- Dr. David Graham -- blew the whistle on the total corruption of science within the FDA, revealing how just one drug (Vioxx) was proven to cause over 60,000 heart attacks, many of which killed people............
