Vitamin D
Effective at preventing colon Tumors?
A 2008 study published in Cancer Research has shown the addition of vitamin D3 (along with calcium) to the diet of some mice fed a regimen similar in nutritional content to a new Western diet prevented colon cancer development
|
A defined rodent "new Western diet" (NWD), which recapitulates intake levels of nutrients that are major dietary risk factors for human colon cancer, induced colonic tumors when fed mice for 1.5 to 2 years from age 6 weeks (two-thirds of their life span). Colonic tumors were prevented by elevating dietary calcium and vitamin D3 to levels comparable with upper levels consumed by humans,
Vitamin D
Deficiency is Epidemic
With all the medical advances in the 20 th century, Vitamin D3 deficiency is still an epidemic. Fifteen to twenty minutes of sunshine each day, in the nude, helps your body manufacture about 10,000 to 15,000 iu’s of vitamin D3 per day. The problem is that most people avoid the sun these days due to fears of skin cancer. Just think about plants and what happens to them when they avoid the sun. They wither & die.
Did you know that vitamin D3 deficiency can result in Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Depression, Psoriasis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Kidney Stones, Osteoporosis, & Neuro-degenerative disease including Alzheimer’s Disease. Eventually, Vitamin D deficiency may even lead to Cancer (especially breast, prostate, and colon cancers). Vitamin D3 is believed to play a role in controlling the immune system (possibly reducing one’s risk of cancer and autoimmune diseases), increasing neuro-muscular function and decreasing falls, improving mood, protecting the brain against toxic chemicals, and potentially reducing pain.
Vitamin D3 is both a vitamin and a hormone. It acts as a vitamin when it binds with calcium for proper absorption. Humans cannot digest calcium without adequate amounts of Vitamin D3.
The most common reasons for Vitamin D3 deficiency in the United States relates to lack of exposure to sunlight and infrequent consumption of cold water fish such as wild salmon, mackerel & sardines.
A standard blood chemistry panel will provide your doctor with your levels of vitamin D3. The test is called 25(OH)D. The existing guidelines state that a deficiency is anything below 50nmol/l, but recent studies show that 80 nmol/l is needed to keep healthy bones and enable vitamin D to perform its other roles in the body.
If you have bone loss or osteoporosis, spend 20 minutes daily in the sunshine with 40% of your skin surface exposed. Morning sun is best; Don’t allow your skin to burn. Tanning Beds do not provide Vitamin D3.
Eat foods high in Vitamin D3 including Cod liver oil, fortified milk, salmon, mackerel, & sardines, egg yolks, beef liver. If you take Vitamin D supplements make sure it is Vitamin D3 . Take Vitamin D3 supplements with food. I usually recommend Vitamin D3 2000iu-5000iu/ day depending on lab levels.

The Dangers of Low Vitamin D
The Vitamin D you get from sunshine could be your most effective weapon for maintaining optimum health. Unfortunately, as you get older, your body may no longer be able to efficiently produce adequate levels of Vitamin D just from sun exposure alone.
A Vitamin D deficiency could lead to:
- Heart or brain problems
- Blood pressure issues
- Joint problems
- Weak bones
- Cause mood swings and sad feelings
- Unhealthy blood sugar
- Occasional fatigue
- Depress your immune system
- Skin problems
According to clinical studies, if you're over 50 and don't spend adequate time in the sunshine, you may be Vitamin D deficient. Plus, it's difficult to get sufficient amounts of Vitamin D from enriched foods.
