Uncertainty Causes Anxiety
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
When you don't know the outcome of a medical test, the uncertainty of not knowing can be more stressful and anxiety provoking than the worst possible outcome. Our minds tend to worry and we need to learn to "worry well." Chronic stress suppresses immunity and sets the stage for further inflammation and progression of whatever disease...
US Healthcare is Getting Worse
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
According to the Institute of Medicine's publication in JAMA in July of 2013, the US is falling behind most industrialized countries in nearly every measure of health care even though it is generally improving in most areas including an increase in longevity by three years.
This has little to do with how much we spend on health care because...
UV Light, Melanoma, and Skin Cancer
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
There are three types of UV light, A, B, and C; they are reviewed. DNA damage from UV light is a concern and the dose makes the difference. UVA is the tanning ray and is responsible for tanning the skin; it does not burn. UVB and C penetrate deeper and can be a problem if we burn. We need UVB to make vitamin D. UVC light is filtered by the ozone layer and protects...
Vitamin C Preserves Fetal Lungs in Pregnant Mothers Who Smoke
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
According to research at UCSF in May of 2012, smoking during pregnancy adversely affects fetal lung development, but it can be prevented by vitamin C during the last trimester. A study on 159 smoking pregnant women revealed that just 500 mg/d of vitamin C before 22 weeks of gestation would raise their low vitamin C levels to normal and also improve...
Vitamin C with Robert Cathcart, MD
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
The world's foremost expert in vitamin C shares some of his secrets. The story on dosage and gut tolerance is related to how sick we are. Massive doses reverse most viral diseases, including the flu.

Vitamin C, Cancer, and More with Richard Kunin, MD
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Linus Pauling found a seven-fold increase in longevity with the use of vitamin C. Animals have the ability to make their own vitamin C, whereas humans do not have the chemistry necessary perform the chemical reactions. Some research has shown that Vitamin C administered by IV can kill cancer cells. Giving IV Vitamin C can be dangerous and so...
Vitamin D
submitted by: admin on 02/16/2015
Over the past decade we've come to understand that vitamin D is vital for normal cell biochemistry. When levels of vitamin D are low we are at high risk for many diseases that include type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis, autoimmune disorders, many cancers, depression, muscle and joint pains, Alzheimer's disease, and many...
Vitamin D and Cancer
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Dr. Grant explains the various forms of UV light and how they relate to cancer risk. UVA light penetrates deeply but most sunscreens don't block it and it is what causes melanoma; this actually increases the risk for melanoma! If you shadow is shorter than you are, UVB is present and will make it possible to make vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is linked...
Vitamin D and Safe Sun Exposure with Lani Simpson, DC
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Sunlight is essential for life. UVB ray is what makes vitamin D. At this latitude we don't get much vitamin D, especially in the winter time. We cannot make vitamin D without cholesterol. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with 27 different cancers including melanoma!
Vitamin D Deficiency
submitted by: admin on 05/27/2016
There is a pandemic of vitamin D deficiency because we don't get the UVB rays from sunlight that are needed to make it ourselves. This leads to not only an increased risk of osteoporosis but also of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, several cancers, heart attacks, strokes, and seasonal affective disorder. Vitamin D replacement is necessary for most people. The...
Vitamin D Deficiency with Len And Vicki
submitted by: admin on 11/23/2024
Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk for cancer and cancer metastases. Using the right dose of vitamin D replacement is important and is the reason why it is important to measure blood levels. Hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and abnormal blood lipids are all related to low levels of vitamin D.
Vitamin D Inhibits Inflammation
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
A study published in March of 2011 showed that low levels of vitamin D failed to inhibit the inflammatory cascade and that normal levels did. Levels of inflmamatory cytokines, interlukin 6 and TNF-alpha, correlated with low levels of vitamin D. The vitamin D receptor binds to DNA directly and activates a gene, MKP-1, which quiets the inflammatory response.
It...
Vitamin D's Role in Health and Disease with Joe Prendergast, MD
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
There is an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency because we don't get sufficient sun or supplementation. Just 1300 units of vitamin D would lower the risk of all cancers by 50%. Toxicity is very low. A combination of Diovan, megadoses of vitamin D and l-arginine restores elasticity of arterial walls.
Vitamin D3 Protects Against Viruses, Cancer, and Autoimmunity
submitted by: admin on 05/26/2016
A report in the journal, Journal of Leukocyte Biology, showed that levels of vitamin D3 below 20 ng/ml led to a higher incidence of viral infections, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. This, of course, suggests that supplementing with vitamin D3 could help prevent or treat these conditions.
Low levels of vitamin D3 lead to higher production of antibodies...
Vitamin D3 Supplementation Treats Prostate Cancer
submitted by: admin on 06/30/2016
Patients with low risk prostate cancer under active surveillance may benefit from vitamin D3 supplementation at 4000 IU per day according to an article in the Journal of Endocrinology Metabolism. In patients with Gleason 6 prostate cancers, those treated with 4000 IU of vitamin D3 for one year, 55% had a decrease in Gleason findings or fewer positive...

Watching TV Can Lead to Premature Death
submitted by: admin on 07/08/2014
A study done at the University of Navarra in Spain published an article in the Journal of the American Heart Association in June of 2014 that followed more than 13,000 healthy people with an average age of 37 for more than 8 years. They assessed 3 different types of sedentary behavior to see if they had an effect on premature mortality. What they discovered...
Water Disinfectant By Products are Dangerous
submitted by: admin on 08/04/2014
Clearly, we need disinfected water so we aren't at risk for many diseases such as cholera and hepatitis. However there are more than 600 water disinfectant byproducts have been discovered and many are toxic. The EPA regulates only 11 of these products. Haloacetic acid (HAAs), triclosan, dioxins, chlorine, fluoride, pharmaceutical drugs, and many...
What Allows Cancer Cells to Take Hold?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
There are two factors that determine when a disease can occur. Host defenses are critical but so is the pathogenicity of the infection or cancer. Treating cancer depends on both factors but unfortunately mainstream medicine looks at killing cancer cells, and CAM practitioners look at boosting immune defenses.
What determines a cancer cell's...
