This Is The Greatest Cancer Breakthrough Ever?

By: Paul Phillips

Vitamin D - Known As The Sunshine Vitamin!

I strongly 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 amazing 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 vast sums of 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 potentially 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.
