Vitamin D and Cancer

And here's another little cancer preventive that's cheap and easy to do.
It seems more and more simple things are being brought to light.

Researchers have found that low levels may be associated with osteomalacia and osteoporosis, and have been linked to increased risks of developing heart disease, hypertension, some autoimmune diseases (including type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis) and several types of cancer. In December, a study reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism said that vitamin D deficiencies can cause weight gain and stunt growth in girls during puberty -- a peak time of growth.

It sounds too good to be true ? a little inexpensive pill that could block the development of some cancers, strengthen bones, prevent multiple sclerosis and alleviate winter depression.

This web site is dedicated to vitamin D and cancer. This is because exciting new research indicates that vitamin D—whether produced in the skin as a result of exposure to ultraviolet radiation (from sunlight or sun lamps) or obtained from supplementation with cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)—may help cancer patients. However, the research is far from complete.

So what are some sources of Vitamin D?
Sunlight
Fish liver oils
Herring
Catfish
Salmon
Mackerel
Sardines
Tuna
Eel
Eggs
Beef liver
And of course Milk, but a lot of people have problems with milk.
So suppliments might be a good idea.

The Cure for Cancer?

Diet and Cancer, we keep hearing that.
Even Doctors in the US are coming around to the idea.
But wouldn't it be ironic and poetic in a way, if a 15-year-old kid actually discovered the cure.....

THE CURE FOR CANCER? Documentary Film Defies the American Medical Community's Prescribed Treatments for Cancer and Chronic Disease
An inspirational journey of a boy who sets out to investigate the direct link between diet and disease and in the process discovers the world's simplest cure for cancer: THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH, written and directed by Steve Kroschel, will premiere at The Quad Cinema in New York City on November 14, 2008 with a platform release to follow.

Film critic Ronnie Scheib of Variety says the film is "courting controversy." The NYCMovieGuru, Avi Offer sees the film as "a vital, provocative and enlightening documentary. You'll be talking about it for weeks!"

Hailing from a small town in Alaska, 15-year-old Garrett lives on a wild animal reserve. After the accidental and tragic death of his mother, Garrett began spiraling downward. His father withdrew him from school to prevent him from flunking out, after which he was home-taught. Garrett's father recognized his son's interest in the dietary habits of their animals and assigned a book written by Dr. Max Gerson, which maintains that there is a direct link between diet and a cure for cancer.

Vitamin D for cancer

Vitamin D for cancer

It sounds too good to be true ? a little inexpensive pill that could block the development of some cancers, strengthen bones, prevent multiple sclerosis and alleviate winter depression.
But it's not science fiction. The "new aspirin" could be Vitamin D. Just as we discovered that aspirin can guard against heart disease, Vitamin D could become a useful weapon in the fight against MS, osteoporosis, mild depression and one of the most devastating diseases of our time - cancer.
"As time has gone by, Vitamin D has raised its head as a sort of ambrosia for cancers," says Dr. Louise Parker, an epidemiologist and a world expert in the environmental exposures that can lead to cancer. Or, in the case of Vitamin D, the lack of exposure.
