Vitamin D Prevents 77% of All Cancer

Since 1941 the research that proves Vitamin D prevents most cancers and that deficiencies are in northern population in much higher numbers -- was largely ignored. And in the 68 yrs since America's Pearl Harbor attack far more Americans have died of cancer than Americans died in WWII. In fact twelve times of additional Americans have died of cancer than all the US soldiers killed in WWII because this research was ignored and not acted upon.

Today the research is far more compelling as recent research estimates that 77% of all cancer can be prevented in America within 4 years of starting a national Vitamin D supplement campaign and yearly vitamin D3 blood testing for all adults.

Americans should now insist that the FDA quadruple the minimum daily adult requirement of vitamin D3 in the American diet to 1600mg. The current 400mg per day was the minimum required to prevent rickets--a serious bone malformation from occurring in children. But it is now known that vitamin D effects far more than just bone formation in the human body.

A small 50 lb child requires 1,000 IU per day and by weight a 300 lb person requires as much as 10,000 IU per day which can be safely taken without any problems of overdose. An ill person can take 50,000 IU for many days without harm in order to ramp up the bodies immune system.

The New England Journal of Medicine reports that between 40% and 100% of elderly people in America and Europe are deficient in Vitamin D3. And 2009 CDC statistics show that most all child flu deaths have marked deficiency of vitamin D3 and could have been prevented according to the Vitamin D Council.

Vitamin D3 deficiency doubles heart attack risk and is linked to autism in children. Colds and flus peak in winter when vitamin D3 levels are at there lowest from limited sunlight. And research shows the Type 1 diabetes in children can be reduced 78% and 33% reduction in Type II diabetes can be achieved with increased vitamin D3. Research supports that there is a 72% reduction in falls in elderly people and a 42% reduction in multiple sclerosis in women taking extra vitamin D3.

President Obama can save literally trillions of dollars of needless medical health care expenses if this one policy is adopted by the FDA and a national campaign is vigorously administered. All adults and children should have their blood levels of vitamin D3 checked regularly at least once per year.

It is sad to say but this policy will probably bankrupt the drug companies in America. And this is also probably why increasing vitamin D supplementation has been ignore. The drug companies control health care in America, the FDA, the AMA, and would never support such a policy. But with President Obama in the White House this does have a chance to become law because the President needs to reduce health and medical costs or his national health insurance program may bankrupt America.

Write your congressman and President Obama and support the increase of the minimum daily adult requirement of vitamin D to 1600 mg per day. With the skin cancer scare of the past 20 years from the sun and children playing video games indoors most of their lives Americans get little sunlight to supplement their vitamin D3 each day. Six months of each year sunlight is not strong enough to make vitamin D3 on our skin. And recent research states that most people wash off skin oils before natural vitamin D3 is reabsorbed by the body after sunbathing. So modern Americans can not rely on the sun alone to protect them from vitamin D3 deficiencies especially in winter months.

Perhaps the flus and colds of winter are simply caused by the extreme lowered immunity in winter from vitamin D3 deficiencies caused by reduced sun exposure during these 6 months of winter. Perhaps flus and colds and cancers are just nature's warning signs of our lowered immunity that we have ignored in the past out of ignorance. Now it is time to listen to Nature and see if she was right. -- J.E. Ante
