Vitamin D is considered to be at the top of the list of all natural cures & remedies for cancer. So here's the amazing study results that prove why the "sunshine vitamin" is still one of the best cancer treatments available... Thrilling new research findings have confirmed that supplementing with Vitamin D and calcium can actually cut the rate of cancer by a whopping 77%! This includes breast, colon and skin cancer, along with other forms of cancers... The Creighton University School of Medicine in Nebraska did a study involving 1,179 healthy women. The first group were given 1400 mg of calcium and 1100 IU's of Vitamin D daily for four years. The other group were given a placebo. The first group showed a 60% reduction in cancers compared to the second group (77% of this reduction actually occurred in the last 3 years of the study). Now, when you consider this study was done with a relatively low dose of Vitamin D (and probably not a high grade form of calcium was used like coral calcium, calcium malate, calcium aspartate or calcium lactate), and it also didn’t take into account any extra Vitamin D these women could have received if they were out in the sun, the results really are astounding.
And while you’re at it, you can also add prostate cancer to the list of cancers vitamin D can help treat and protect against! Findings from recent studies published in the British Journal of Cancer showed that the group of men with the most vitamin D in their bodies had a six fold less fatality rate from prostate cancer than the men with lower levels. And in a recent review of research involving vitamin D, cancer and sunlight (ultraviolet B or UVB) they found that sun associated vitamin D was linked to lower levels of colon and breast cancers, along with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney and ovarian cancers. Nicola Reavley, in her bestselling book, The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements and Herbs, says…“Laboratory experiments show that vitamin D can inhibit the growth of human prostate cancer and breast cancer cells. Lung cancer and pancreatic cancer cells may also be susceptible to the effects of vitamin D. Sunlight also seems to be protective against several types of cancer including ovarian, breast and prostate cancers;
and this effect may be mediated by vitamin D levels. Synthetic vitamin D-type compounds are being investigated for their potential as anticancer drugs.” And just in case you may still have any doubts about the “miracle” cancer cure that is vitamin D. Here’s respected physician and founder of the Centre for New Medicine in California, Leigh Connealy, M.D. talking about the amazing benefits of the sunshine vitamin…“During the past decade, a steady stream of news from researchers all over the world is proving that vitamin D helps protect us against such serious health concerns as cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, several types of cancer (including breast, colon and prostate), diabetes, emotional difficulties (such as depression and bipolar disorder), muscle function and gum health.” Stop believing all the negative reports about how the sun is bad for you and gives you skin cancer. It’s not bad for you at all!Just don’t go overboard with sun exposure (30-40 minutes a day on the face and hands is enough).
You definitely don’t want to burn yourself. Oh, and don’t use any sunscreens or sun glasses either while you're out there. These terrible inventions actually do you more harm than good. They do do a great job of ruining your eyes and burning the chemicals from the sunblock deep into your skin though!Even with regular sunshine, you're still going to need to supplement with extra vitamin D3. If you live in a cold climate then you're most definitely going to need a vitamin D supplement. Acclaimed cancer expert, and one of the worlds leading authorities on vitamin D, Dr Cedric Garland, recommends at least 10,000 IU's of vitamin D be taken by cancer sufferers every day (and contrary to what you may have read, this is a safe dosage). By the way, this is the same guy who came out and said after extensive studies that cancer could be "virtually eradicated" if people raised the amount of vitamin D in their bodies to more normal levels. He's considered "the guru" when it comes to vitamin D and cancer... so he's worth listening to!
Here's the full details of Dr Garlands study on vitamin D for cancer prevention and treatment... Groundbreaking New D for Cancer. We also strongly recommend that you take a high potency resveratrol supplement with your vitamin D. Resveratrol enhances the effects and benefits of vitamin D by a huge amount. I's also a good idea to find yourself a good quality natural vitamin D cream and rub it on the tumor twice daily for extra benefit. Go from natural cancer cure - vitamin D - to more natural cancer treatmentsBy Dr. Joseph Mercola What if a cure for cancer has been right here all along? What if the very agency charged with protecting your health is the one keeping you from that cure? Ten years ago a former New York State assemblyman, Daniel Haley, wrote a scathing exposé on how the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) systematically shuts the door on effective and non-toxic products, many for cancer. The FDA is the chief agency in charge of protecting and promoting Americans' health and safety.
But in 10 stunning, true stories in his book, "The Politics of Healing," Haley describes how the FDA has suppressed and banned natural health cures – eight of them for cancer. He later wrote about two additional cancer cures that worked, which the FDA also disallowed. The FDA even admitted that one of these treatments, discovered by Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, was successful with some of the most incurable forms of cancer. I shared this with you in a recent article that showed his film, but stories like this are far too common, and you can't help but wonder how many people have died while the FDA denied them cancer treatments that work. Haley brazenly calls the FDA a rogue, out of control agency that has lied in Congressional testimonies, deliberately falsified data, and destroyed evidence to prohibit cures like Burzynki's from coming to market. The FDA's loyalties are to the drug industry, not to individuals, Haley says. His claims mirror those of Dr. David Graham, who once worked in the FDA's Office of Drug Safety.
In 2004 Dr. Graham blew the whistle on six drugs that were harming people, including Vioxx, but instead of acting on his warnings, Graham's superiors pulled him off his job. He fought back in a PBS television special when he told how he'd been chastised at the FDA for thinking the FDA served the public. The "FDA is there to serve the drug industry," Graham said his supervisors told him. Everyone's talking about vitamin D right now, especially since the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) updated their recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for it. The truth is that most Americans are deficient in vitamin D, and studies show that vitamin D supplementation can both prevent and kill many infections and diseases, including cancer. Vitamin D isn't actually a vitamin, although scientists refer to it as such. It's actually a steroid hormone that you get from sun exposure, food sources and/or supplementation. The term refers to either vitamin D2 or D3, but according to the National Vitamin D Council, D3 (chemical name 25-hydroxy vitamin D) is real vitamin D, and is the same substance produced naturally through your skin by sun exposure.
Older research appears at odds on whether your body cares which form of D it's getting. But a study in the January 2011 Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that D3 is 87 percent more effective than D2, and is the preferred form for treating vitamin D deficiency. It's measured in international units (IU's) in nanograms per milliliter, or ng/mL. The Vitamin D Council believes that a person's D3 levels should be at least 50 ng/mLfor your body to function properly. (To determine whether you might be deficient, you need to get your vitamin D levels tested, and ideally, you'll want to get tested regularly thereafter to ensure you're maintaining optimal levels year-round.) Fourteen famous vitamin D researchers gave the FNB this information, but the FNB apparently ignored the information that the researchers presented because their "updated" RDA levels ended up being so pitifully low that it's doubtful it can significantly impact Americans' deficiency, let alone fight off diseases like cancer and heart disease.
Depending on your age, the new recommendations are 600 to 800 IUs a day for adults and between zero and 600 IUs a day for children. The FNB also said that taking vitamin D in amounts of 10,000 IUs or more could be dangerous – but that's ridiculous, seeing that a 30-minute dose of sunshine can give an adult more than 10,000 IUs! Since countless studies indicate that much higher levels of vitamin D are required for optimal health, it's no surprise that experts lost no time denouncing the FNB's recommendations. "It's almost impossible to significantly raise your vitamin D levels when supplementing (at the FNB levels)," the Vitamin D Council posted on its website. Over 800 studies already show that vitamin D could have cancer-prevention and/or treatment possibilities. But the problem is that it's a natural substance that can't be patented as a simple supplement, meaning there's no real revenue in it, compared to a prescription brand drug. That's why many drug studies involving vitamins of any kind hinge on how the FDA defines drugs and supplements.
A drug is defined as a product meant for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of a disease. A supplement is defined as a product that is meant to simply "supplement" or "enhance" a normal diet within the daily allowances recommended by the FDA. Drugs – and retailers who sell supplements are not allowed to tell you that vitamin D can possibly "prevent, mitigate or cure" cancer without having the FDA accuse them of selling a drug that hasn't been approved through the proper FDA process. That process of getting a drug to market costs an average $359 million and takes nearly 10 years– with a good portion of the money going directly to the FDA through user fees. Over the years these fees have become a major funding source for the FDA. What drug companies get in return is faster FDA reviews and drug approvals. As a result, a kind of you-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours scenario has ensued, with drug companies maintaining major leverage over the FDA when it comes to protecting their revenue sources, including making sure the $60 billion-a-year supplement business doesn't get in the way of drug sales.
The history of FDA laws and regulations on file at Harvard Law School, explains how years ago an FDA task force long ago established this policy "… to ensure that the presence of dietary supplements on the market does not act as a disincentive to drug development." So how does this relate to too-low RDA levels for vitamin D? A look at the clinical trials shows that most of them involve "high-potency" D3 supplements, which puts them in the drug category if it turns out they can mitigate, treat or cure cancer. And that means they can be patented – and sold to you as prescriptions at sky-high prices. Another way that Big Pharma has moved in on the cancer industry is through pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which administer drug benefits for about 95 percent of all patients with prescription drug coverage. PBMs decide which drugs flow through the healthcare system. Supposedly they choose the best drugs and prices for your plan. But what if I told you that the businesses that sell the drugs have been helping to decide which drugs your PBM pays for?
Regulators have been working hard to nip conflicts of interest in the bud, but over the years numerous court cases have shown that drug companies and PBMs working together has led to higher prices and limited drug choices – and allegations of price-setting through secret deals with pharmaceutical companies. I have an employee who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. After her mastectomy, she was told she had several months of chemotherapy and radiation ahead of her. But she sought a second opinion at a renowned cancer treatment center – and learned that chemotherapy was NOT going to be part of her treatment plan because her type of cancer doesn't respond to chemotherapy. "And since chemo is poison, why would we want to poison you for no reason?" the oncologist told her. That's right – a person in the business of "selling" cancer treatment actually said he wasn't going to poison her "for no reason" – something I consider unusual in an industry that is wedded to toxic chemotherapy.
The employee was pronounced cancer-free four months later, without chemo or radiation, which may leave you wondering, as it did me, how many patients die every year from toxic chemotherapy they got but didn't need? Some experts believe that as much as 25 percent, or more, of patients who undergo chemotherapy are killed by it. Dr. Vincent Speckhart, a former U.S. Air Force flight surgeon and oncologist, was so concerned about deaths from chemo that he told a Congressional committee: "After 13 years of using FDA-approved chemotherapy protocols, I concluded that such therapies were extremely toxic, poorly tolerated, and not effective in prolonging survival in most solid tumors of adults. In 1983, my patients began to request therapies other than chemotherapy. I agreed, and without even knowing it, I became an 'alternative practitioner' and was red-flagged by opponents of this form of therapy." In other words, if you're a physician who divorces the status quo of cancer treatment, you'd better watch out.
