Stop the Presses! You Need to Watch this U of CA video.

[ginkgo]

Now I am not going to ask you to invest 29 minutes of your time to see what you think of it. This is something that everyone needs to watch learn. If anyone disagrees with anything in this video then speak up but I do not think that will happen. This is a U of CA educational video. This video will greatly reduce the number of people getting cancer.

The video is to teach that the levels of vitamin D that are suggested is enough for you to avoid rickets and bone density problems. But it is not nearly enough to prevent you from getting cancer and to prevent the flu that appears to be very fluid. Flu is short for influenza since it is caused by the influence of the stars (astrology).

It explains how much vitamin D that you need to get. Also cod liver oil has a lot of it but explains why the vitamin A in it limits your vitamin D from it. Note-- stop the presses is an old expression for stopping the newspaper printing presses so they can add a new story that is very important.

That is a great idea! The link would help. Sorry, I forgot to put it up. Now it is up.

I was listening to Dr. Christiane Northrup, she suggested vitamin d over and over again, like prescription sized doses. She believes it.

[ginkgo]

I need to look up Dr Christine. I never heard if her. It would be nice if you left a link to who she is. I am a considerate person.

She wrote the Wisdom of Menopause.
An obstetrician-gynecologist and author of three books.
Oh I see now. She is the hottest looking M.D. I bet some fat and ugly MDs hate her. She mentions some vitamin D studies that I will add to my website. I have a webpage that I wrote years ago on curing colds and flus. I mentioned vitamin D and getting enough sleep but now there is research to back it up. The New York Times recently reported on a study that found that those who get less than seven hours of sleep a night are three times as likely to catch a cold as those who sleep at least eight hours a night.

Christiane Northrup, M.D.

[whatinspiresu]

ooh, youre in luck ginko... guess what Dr. Northrups main news article today is about... you got it, Vitamin D! sorry about not finding you her link before...

heres the Vitamin D news article Canada Shines Light on Sunshine Vitamin

Vitamin D is not a vitamin since the body cannot create a vitamin but can create vitamin D. So it is a conditional hormone/vitamin. The only one. Man was supposed to get lots of sunlight and then this would not be a concern. The healthiest people are getting lifeguard amounts of sunlight. For lifeguards life is a beach.

I just want to give my props to Vitamin D.

I was dealing with serious dizzy spells, nausea and anxiety issues off and on for the longest time. The doctors performed their various tests and could not find anything wrong with me. I was eating well and exercising regularly and was frustrated beyond belief as to why I was still feeling so crummy. I refused the recommended "happy pills" and got a new doctor. She performed a Vitamin D test on a whim and found that my level was at a 5. Recommended levels are supposed to be above 50 optimally 70-100. Obviously I wasn't getting enough sun and wasn't getting what I needed in my diet. I now take Vitamin D supplements and feel fantastic.

From what I read vitamin D deficiency doesn't manifest into physical issues until it's too late or if you're at extremely low levels. This test isn't part of a normal blood draw so you need to specifically ask for it each time you get your physical. Do it.

I recently destroyed a developing cold by using vitamin D. The formula is 2,000IU for each kg. of body weight (which for me was 180,000IU a day) for 3 days. That meant 36 gel caps of 5,000IU, which seems outrageous, but it disappeared all symptoms in 48 hrs!

How much vitamin D can you reasonably take on a daily basis without ill effects?
Would be interesting to see if my energy levels were to increase if I were to induce copious amounts of it for a week or so.

To find out what the scientists say is a safe amount, watch the video. It is not a set amount but all the scientists did agree that anyone could take 2,000 IU a day of vitamin D.

YouTube - Vitamin D Prevents Cancer: Is It True?

I don't actually think that video is the be-all and end all, but that said, I would like to thank you for posting it. Between the video & my sibling getting good results from vit D supplementation, it was enough to get me thinking & researching and among other things led me to the following podcast:
GRC♥|♥Vitamin D Research♥♥

The podcast is NOT done by a health authority, rather a computer security authority who happens to be a health enthusiast whose research led him to believe that this was important enough to go off-topic and devote an entire episode to it. He won bonus points with me by pointing out multiple times that correlation is not causation. But he had enough good info that I decided to go out and try 2000-3000iu/day. The results have been astonishing. My energy has been much better and my moods much MUCH more even. I'm finding it easier to remember names! (Not my strong suit.) My period was even far nicer this month.

I'm still researching it - reading the Vitamin D Prescription now, & I plan to check up on the individual studies after, but I'm damned happy with the results after just a few weeks.

Thank you for watching the video and your response. It is appreciated. I never said that it is the be-all and end-all. There is nothing that can allow someone to live forever except for becoming a vampire. Since you brought it up then what would you consider the be-all and end-all??????

The video was a summary of the the 2 day event for 100 brilliant scientists to show their stuff in technical language that many would not understand. This event was sponsored (that is technical talk for being paid for) by the NCI. The National Cancer Insitute receives over $2 billion annually (every year) in federal taxes so that means that it was paid for by the American people. The NCI is one of the 27 NIHs (National Institutes of Health) that also includes the CDC (Center for Disease Control).

Please note that I did not force anyone to have to take the time to look up any of acronyms. This is an example of being consderate of others. SCUBA is an example of an acronym so you do not need to look up 'acronym'. SCUBA stands for "self- contained underwater breathing apparatus."

{...snipped explanation of the video's SOURCE...}

This. This post hit what the video was lacking (or perhaps what I missed in the video) - the source of the information. Thank you. This is the internet, and while it's full of good information, the internet is also full of crap. I trust very little that I haven't confirmed independently.

Additionally, the video suggested an awful lot of good *correlations* but to my knowledge (ie, if I didn't miss something) didn't give its sources the way you just did, and more importantly didn't mention causative studies. (By causative, I mean studies where X number of people have problem Y, and half are given the supplement and look at how their stats changed.) The sheer weight of the correlations suggests that vit D is incredibly promising, but I didn't feel like the video touched on much actual causal evidence. I liked the podcast I linked to because it gave enough logic to overcome some of the possibility of pure coincidence. It felt like the video came from a much more emotional place -- which is GREAT as a call to arms, but less so for the persuasion of someone with a science background.

I hope this makes sense.

Yes I watched the video several times since it is easy to miss what was said in less than a minute. Just watch the 4th minute (between 2:48 and 4:00) to get the above. I think that the actual studies are on their website that they want people to visit. If they are not on there, they should be.

Also tell your friends about it especially females since it can reduce breast cancer by 70%. Most of the women that die between 35 and 44 years old, die of breast cancer. Make sure not to tell your enemies about it.

This is not on the video. One of the scientists disagrees with the 70%. He says that enough vitamin D will "virtually eradicate breast cancer." That is from a Canadian newspaper, maybe the Toronto Times. Here is one link I found. GrassrootsHealth | Vitamin D Action - Eradicate Breast Cancer This talks about a 3 day conference in Canada on vitamin D that was done after the above video.

[ginkgo]

Please note that the U.S. government has not accepted the above yet. But Harvard Medical School is now in agreement with what vitamin D can do. The U.S. government will agree in another few years after tens of thousands have people have died from lack of vitamin D.

I would all way hear about some food or a vitamin that was claimed to reduce cancer by 20 to 40% but 77% that is just remarkable. not to mention all the other conditions it help.

Vitamin D is unique. There is nothing else like it. It is not a vitamin since the body can make it. It is not a steroidal hormone since the body cannot make it without sunlight. So what is it? It is what it is. It is not like anything else.

The sun sends sunlight 100 million miles to get to us and the body can transform that energy into something unique. Tiger Woods is unique since other tigers cannot play golf. I know. I tried it and the tiger ate my caddy.
