Vitamin D Combats Cancer
2009-04-23 16:46:00 Two new vitamin D studies add to a growing body of science supporting the potential anti-cancer benefits of the vitamin.The first study, published in the June 15 issue of the International Journal of Cancer, suggests that the benefits of vitamin D for treating prostate cancer may be due to the action of the vitamin on a specific gene. Researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center report that the active form of vitamin D in the body, 1,25-hydroxylvitamin D3?1,25(OH)2D?may link with a gene known as G6PD, which releases an antioxidant enzyme and protects DNA from damage. Essentially, these findings conclude that vitamin D may not only treat prostate cancer, it may also prevent it.The second study, published in the May issue of the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, suggests that maintaining high levels of vitamin D may protect against cancer in general. The research, based on data collected from 3299 patients participating in the Ludwigshafen Risk a...

Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Breast Cancer Risk
2008-05-16 20:25:00 From the L.A. Times and Mount Sinai Hospital comes a report that breast cancer patients who had below-normal levels of vitamin D when diagnosed were a staggering 94% more likely to have their cancer metastasize, and 73% more likely to die within 10 years of diagnosis. These results are preliminary and it is far too early for doctors to begin advising women to take vitamin D to help combat cancer. That said, striving for 100% of the daily recommended amount would be wise anyway. Vitamin D has a number of beneficial effects on the body, although taking too much can also cause problems. The best form of vitamin D, D3, is produced naturally in the body due to exposure to sunlight, and is considered the most useful form. So spending more time in the sunlight may have beneficial effects for helping fight breast cancer or preventing its spread. But be careful not to get skin cancer from over-exposure!

Vitamin D: One of the Most Potent Antioxidants in the World
2008-02-25 21:41:00 The following paragraph is from the article The Miracle of Vitamin D by Krispin Sullivan who has done a lot of research about vitamin D."Sun exposure at higher latitudes before 10 am or after 2 pm will cause burning from UV-A before it will supply adequate vitamin D from UV-B. This finding may surprise you, as it did the researchers. It means that sunning must occur between the hours we have been told to avoid. Only sunning between 10 am and 2 pm during summer months (or winter months insouthern latitudes) for 20-120 minutes, depending on skin type and color, willform adequate vitamin D before burning occurs.

Vitamin D may help fight tuberculosis, study finds
2008-01-29 10:00:00 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - African immigrants with low levels of vitamin D are much more likely to be infected with tuberculosis, a finding that suggests the vitamin may help prevent and treat TB, Australian researchers said on Monday. Their study of all 375 African immigrants treated at one Melbourne hospital showed that those who had low vitamin D levels were far more likely to have TB infections than those with adequate levels. They found moderate to severe vitamin D deficiency in 78 percent of patients with past or present tuberculosis. "Low vitamin D levels are associated with an increased likelihood of primary infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and also, once infected, are associated with increased likelihood of having active TB," Dr. Katherine Gibney of the Royal Melbourne Hospital said in a statement. Writing in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, Gibney and colleagues said they tested everyone from sub-Saharan Africa treated at the hospital between...

7 Reasons Why Vitamin D Is Essential to Your Body
2007-11-25 13:42:00 By Keith WoolleyThis interesting article highllights just some of the key issues regarding Vitamin D. After careful reading of this article I believe the information could make a big difference in how you think about the exciting research that is currently being published about Vitamin D. Knowledge can give you a real advantage. To make sure you're fully informed about Vitamin D, keep reading. Vitamin D is a major player in ensuring the body's health. It is a member of the fat-soluble group of vitamins which means that it can be dissolved and stored by our body's fat deposits. Is the only vitamin that the body can produce with adequate exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D may also be obtained from food. The form of this vitamin that comes from plants is called ergocalciferol (also referred to as Vitamin D2). From animals, it is called cholecalciferol or Vitamin D3. Vitamin D has key benefits to the body. They include: Calcium absorption - Without Vitamin D it would be very d...

Does Vitamin D prevent Cancer?
2007-11-06 09:20:00 Question: from Brenda In your Total-Balance product, does it contain enough naturally compounded vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) to prevent Cancer? If not, which brand should I get the Vitamin D3 to prevent Cancer? I learned recently that enough Vitamin D is the key to prevent cancers. Answer: from Warren Matthews of Xtend-Life Recently there has been quite a lot of publicity extolling high dose Vitamin D as a âCancer preventionâ protocol. There is no doubt that Vitamin D is a factor in helping prevent Cancer, but it has to be put into perspective. The sad fact is that a high proportion of the general population is deficient in Vitamin D and that is without doubt a factor in contributing to an increased risk of Cancer. In other words it is not a matter of taking mega doses of Vitamin D but rather ensuring that you donât have a deficiency. Remember that most cancers are due to a nutrient deficiency!

Vitamin D May Not Cut Cancer Deaths
2007-11-04 19:23:00 Study Shows No Link Between Vitamin D Level and Cancer Deaths -- Except for Colorectal CancerOct. 30, 2007 -- Cancer researchers today reported that blood levels of vitamin D -- whether high or low -- may not help prevent adults from dying of cancer over a dozen years.But colorectal cancer may be the exception, according to the scientists, who included D. Michal Freedman, PhD, MPH, of the National Cancer Institute.Vitamin D has attracted attention from researchers for its possible anticancer effects.Freedman's team studied data on more than 16,800 people aged 17 and older who participated in U.S. health studies between 1988 and 1994.In those studies, participants got a blood test to measure their blood level of vitamin D.Freedman and colleagues followed the participants through 2000.

Vitamin D Won't Help Prevent Most Cancers
2007-10-31 08:26:00 www.forbes.comHigh blood levels of vitamin D did not lower the overall cancer death rate in a long-term study, researchers report. However, they did note a marked reduction in colorectal cancer deaths linked to the vitamin.The findings, by a team from the U.S. National Cancer Institute, run counter to some earlier data suggesting that vitamin D might help prevent malignancy."Over the past several years, a number of publications have suggested that vitamin D can reduce deaths from various forms of cancer," said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society. "This is a further bit of evidence that leads us to call for further investigations before we make recommendations for the general population."Even the finding that the vitamin might lower colon cancer risk merits further study, added Lichtenfeld, who was not involved in the research. "We have called for further research to see if vitamin D does or does not reduce deaths from cancer," he said. "W...

Lack of vitamin D leads to chronic pain
2007-10-25 10:00:00 Approximately one out of four patients suffering from chronic pain has inadequate level of vitamin D in the blood. This is the reason why there is a need to treat them with higher doses of morphine and pain drugs. Lack of vitamin D is the cause of this disorder, specialists of Mayo Clinic and the Center for the prevention of pain in Rochester (USA) believe. After checking the levels of vitamin D from 267 adult patients suffering from chronic pain and receiving outpatient therapy, the doctors noted by 26% low levels of the substance. Anesthesiologists are sure that the insufficient number of vitamin D can cause chronic pain and muscle weakness. This greatly hinders any treatment, and causes serious side effects.
