Vitamin D Prevents Cancer: Is It True?

weirwolf77 Says:

Oct 13, 2009 - If you are going to eat oily fish to provide dietary vitamin D, don't eat farm raised fish. Their vitamin D content is low. Eat only wild caught salmon.

weirwolf77 Says:

Oct 13, 2009 - People normally get vitamin D through sun exposure. Milk has a small amount of vitamin D as do egg yolks. Wild salmon have some vitamin D, but unless you want to eat lots of salmon every day, you can either invest in UV-B lamp or take supplements. Vitamin D3 supplements are cheap. The dosage is generally 35 X your weight in pounds = IUs / day. I take about 5500 IUs / day and have done it for months at a time. As a result I experience a lot less inflammation in my joints.

Oct 15, 2009 - Nope, only very few foods naturally contain vitamin D and the sun only delivers sufficient UVB above the 43rd parallel during the summer and between the hours of 11 am and 1 pm. The rest of the year it just ain't gonna happen. The above video is the LATEST RESARCH completely outdating all prior information. We routinely metabolize 5,000 IU a day so how can 400 IU even BEGIN to be sufficient?

AlgernonSidney Says:

Oct 15, 2009 - Take your Vitamin D in the moring and the Vitamin A in the evening. Vitamin A is a lot easier to get from diet so it's not so much an issue as Vitamin D.

Oct 16, 2009 - But what makes our body produce less of the chemicals than it needs? Anyone knows the root cause?

kakudmi Says:

Oct 16, 2009 - Also, why should we trust modern medicine when so far it has not discovered the root cause of any disease? They admit they're just experimenting, and every time they get some results they claim they got a cure. But all they do is to experiment. Shallow understanding of the medicine makes people believe them, because people think there's no other choice. Blind faith in modern medicine is like a blind faith in a religion. Only when we think there are no other options, we take up a blind faith.

Oct 28, 2009 - What makes our bodies produce less Vitamin D? The Sunshine Vitamin? Maybe cubical-dwelling and sitting in front of the computer and boob tube all day?

doriath666 Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - We haven't discovered the root cause of *any* diseases? Have you missed the last century or so? As far as experimentation being "all they do"- do you have a valid alternative to the peer-reviewed application of the scientific method by qualified personnel?

Nov 2, 2009 - Yes. We are actually TAUGHT the Sun is bad. It's not; especially since the ozone layer has improved

Gary1111001 Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - -"If you are going to eat oily fish to provide dietary vitamin D" .......you're defeating the porpuse - trading one cancer for another. Get Sun. People are Sun-deprived, not fish-deprived. . The Sun is natural for us, and the ozone layer has improved. And you'd be more protected from the Sun if the diet was normal(fruit and veggies), instead of man-made non-food. I eat 14 fruits a day and spend 45 min. in the Sun. I'm 40; I look 25.

Nov 3, 2009 - umm, yeah, brilliant advice. i'll remember that in january when it's -35C.

Gary1111001 Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Actually I have different advice for people living in insane places. It's equally brilliant. :)

kakudmi Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - Again, modern medicine does not know the root cause of any disease. Instead of asking irrelevant questions, why don't you offer a proof. Name one disease to which we know the root cause. Yes, I have the alternative and I am using it. Thanks.

doriath666 Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - 1. We know the root cause of many diseases - bubonic plague, chicken pox, polio, influenza - all these and more are provably caused by infection with a particular pathogen. Dracunculiasis is caused by infection by the guinea worm. Scurvy and rickets, for instance, are again provably caused by vitamin deficiencies. Pick up a book, go to a class, do some experiments yourself - that's the beauty of science - a claim has to be testable and repeatable to be valid.

doriath666 Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - The question was hardly irrelevant - you claim to have a valid alternative to inquiry via the scientific method. Fantastic - "why don't you offer a proof?"

Nov 8, 2009 - i am looking for nice guys who want to chat or give me a call

kakudmi Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - So, you claim the infection is the root cause? Please provide the cause of that infection. Why is it that our immune system is unable to fight it off? Since our immune system is fighting numerous bacterias and viruses on a daily basis, why is it that some of them cannot fight effectively? When you give me a precise answer to this, I may believe that you know the root cause. Thanks.

kakudmi Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - I am still waiting for your reply. Perhaps when you see that medicine knows no root cause of any disease, I will be willing to offer you my proof. Till then, I am happily awaiting your answers. Thanks.

doriath666 Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - Infection is the proven root cause of *some* diseases. For why a particular individuals' immune system failed to protect them from some disease, that is going to vary depending on the individual and the disease. The person could have been immunocompromised, they could have had no previous exposure to the pathogen (or a antigenically similar organism). And again, any immunology textbook (or even just basic biology) will to a fine job explaining this - YouTube forums aren't the ideal format

doriath666 Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - Ahhh, the "I have secret mystical knowledge which you are not ready for, because you do not already agree with my previous unsupported assertion" trope. Nice-I'm glad that type of philosophy works for you. Do yourself a favor, pick up *any* basic college-level biology text and read the section on the immune system. You'll get a far better explanation with pictures and diagrams, than anyone can offer via comment boxes with tiny character limits/Take a bio class, you might find it interesting.

Nov 16, 2009 - Thank you

gledalac1979 Says:

Nov 16, 2009 - I have erectile dysfunction and psorisis which is caused by lack of vitamin D. Can I take 50 000IU per day?

gledalac1979 Says:

Nov 16, 2009 - these amounts are too low,you get 20 000IU just for 10 minutes of sunbathing, humans need 50 000IU of vitamin D every day. I bought 100 of such capsules for 30$
