Is This The Greatest Cancer Breakthrough Ever?

Vitamin D -The Sunshine Vitamin!

I more than suspect that most doctors have no idea when it
comes to the full benefits of vitamin D. As well as its use
in a whole range of treatment and prevention such as:

v Type 2 diabetes

v As an anti-inflammatory agent...

v Protection against multiple sclerosis

v Reducing bone fragility in old people

v Parkinson's disease

v Renal (kidney) failure if in chronic deficiency of the
vitamin

v Much more prone to chronic pain if in deficiency of the
vitamin

Vitamin D also has showed some amazing results when looked
at as a form of cancer prevention.

The Creighton, Nebraska Study 'The Greatest Cancer
Breakthrough Ever?'

In June 2007, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
published an article. It showed by means of a three-year
study how 1179 post-menopausal women in Nebraska prevented
cancer risk by as much as between 60-77%. This amazing
result was achieved by giving the women vitamin D3, the
sunshine vitamin (so called the sunshine vitamin because
humans can obtain all the requirements of vitamin D3
through getting 10-15 minutes of natural sunlight daily).
This was given in the way of dietary supplementation.
Principally, Professor Joan Lappe of Creighton University
School of Medicine had conducted the study. One website had
called it the 'greatest breakthrough on cancer, ever.' The
findings certainly show that vitamin D is a lifesaver when
it comes to cancer prevention and it alarmingly reveals how
it is neglected in the diet. From her results, Professor
Lappe at the university described vitamin D as '...a
critical tool in fighting cancer as well as many other
diseases.'

In spite of its important findings, the report did not make
it to the more prestigious journals such as the 'Journal of
the American Medical Association.' It was also published on
a Friday, a low impact news day, a time usually for less
significant research.

I have no doubt, the reason being for its lack of
recognition was due to the fact that the
medical/pharmaceutical establishment don't want this
effective form of cancer prevention to be pursued: Think of
the money they would lose if the public knew that sunshine
could be doing more good than their expensive invasive
medicine that can do more harm than good!

On similar lines, it has been highly recommended that sun
cream lotion be selected and used with care. Get a good
organic lotion, one that is not carcinogenic. Allow some
sunshine on the body before application because lotions,
when applied, can block off the beneficial rays of the sun
as a vitamin D supply.
