Anti Cancer Vitamin D Forte Emulsified
Following on from my last post I thought the comments below, together with a link to the appropriate web-site, would be of interest not only in respect to the comments on vitamin D but also for a general overview on some natural treatments of cancer.

“Getting enough Vitamin D is vital for fighting cancer. In fact, a lack of it may contribute to cancer. There is more cancer (and MS) in the higher latitudes of the North because weaker sunlight produces less vitamin D. Vitamin D has been used to treat breast, prostate and other cancers.
Some health practitioners recommend 4000 to as much as 10,000 units a day when dealing with ill health situations. If you are in the lower latitudes and are out in the sun without sunscreen, you are probably getting enough Vitamin D. Or if you are taking cod liver oil. Otherwise you probably don’t get near enough. The amount in vitamins and mineral supplements is too low, 400 IU. Emulsified vitamin D is the best source in a supplement because of its increased absorption and assimilation. Also, it is very easy to take. One drop supplies 2000 IU”.

Each 400iu of vitamin D3 raises your status by 9nmol/l. In winter the average UK vit d status is around 40nmol/l . 80nmol/l is associated with lowest colon cancer incidence so that would require the average brit to use 2000iu/daily to raise status above 80nmol/l. However to reach 130nmol/l the level associated with lowest all cancer incidence requires slightly over 4000iu/daily.
The Vitamin D council has links to suppliers of 5000iu capsules. The work out at around 5p daily so it’s not a big deal.
Risk assessment for Vitamin D shows 10,000iu/daily is perfectly safe. You could take up to 40,000 for a short while but if you continued for more than six months you’d eventually raise your status to over 350nmol/l and then you’d run into hypercalcemia so it’s not a smart idea. Using 50,000iu/WEEKLY is a quick way of building up your status. That averages 7000iu/daily and as your body uses 4000iu/d it means you are building up your stores by consuming each day more than you use. Doing this for 8 weeks should see most people in vit d credit.
