I recall a young woman at a cancer conference stand up and tell the audience that she was treated for lymphoma twice with chemo and after the second treatment regimen, the doctors told her that they could not save her life and she would be dead in three months. She went on to explain that she turned to holistic medicine, change her lifestyle entirely and was now lymphoma free. My cousin was told that he had three months to live because his PSA was out of sight and he asked me to help him get an expensive chemo drug on a compassionate basis because he could not afford it. I did not hear from him for 10 years and he called me and I said to him, I thought you were dead. He said he joined a self-help group and they were taking 10,000 IUs of vitamin D daily and I thought from my medical training that more than 1000 IU’s vitamin D daily which poisonous a lie a lie, a lie!!! another gal was diagnosed with MS and was told that she would soon die and she changed her lifestyle and the MS disappeared. The daughter of a mother who knew about nutrition reversed the MS by nutrient supplements, which I’m sure included vitamin D . when breast cancer cases go from one in 22 after World War II to one and in eight today means that we are not addressing the root causes which includes an epidemic of low vitamin D blood values in the American women. Of course the medicine man will not admit the true role of vitamin D, which is a hormone and not a vitamin and regulates 3000 gene expressions in the human body.. I pray that Robert F Kennedy Junior‘s efforts to fix our healthcare system is not derailed by the money people that benefit from the dysfunctional allopathic medicine model that dominates US health!

the low vitamin D levels also matches when Big Pharma introduced "sunscreen" to protect you against "skin cancer". ...Imagine telling people "here lets block all the vitamin D your body can make naturally with these poisons, that absorb into your skin, that we dont know the long term effects of and have no idea what combining them with soap, flouride, perfumes etc can do"

There is no question in my mind that every adult should have a blood value of 50 ng’s to stay healthy. Lifestyle issues, such as being told that the sun causes cancer so use sunscreens the fact that some prescription drugs, deplete, vitamin D the fact that statin drugs lowers cholesterol levels. That chicken eggs don’t deliver the vitamin D since they raised them in dark barn not in the sunThat’s only partial list.a partial list.

Statins lower cholesterol which keeps vitamin D low.

Statins are a 30 billion business for Big Pharma and a illness generator. Thanks for the heads up on this! We have certainly gone down the wrong path in medicine. I don't think I have ever read an article about the negative effects of statins that addressed the Vitamin D aspect!

I am not in the medical field but I don't think statins are really good for you.

Also I would be interested in how much sun light it is equivalent to 10,000 of vitamin D?

There is an app called MyCircadian that measures the light (lux) with your phone, uses your location and time of day, and tells you how much vitamin D you can make. Near the equator you can make significantly more than away from it. Of course there are many reasons quantum biology is showing that getting it from the sun is best.
