Is Vitamin D the "Nutrient of the Decade?"

This New York Times article posits that Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, is poised to become the “nutrient of the decade”. A growing legion of medical researchers now maintain that high levels of vitamin D can counter a host of serious ailments.

Vitamin D increases bone and muscle strength and strikingly reduces tumor growth. Many observational studies have linked low vitamin D levels to an increased risk of cancer, including cancers of the breast, rectum, ovary, prostate, stomach, bladder, esophagus, kidney, lung, pancreas, uterus, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

Vitamin D can also dampen an overactive immune system, and lower the risk of multiple sclerosis and diabetes.

Researchers like Bruce W. Hollis believe that the current top recommended daily level of 2,000 I.U. for vitamin D is far too low. Dr. Hollis has been giving pregnant women 4,000 I.U. a day, and nursing women 6,000, with no adverse effects.

Weston A. Price Foundation to FDA: Soy is No Health Food

The Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit nutrition education foundation, has submitted a petition to the FDA asking them to change a rule which currently allows soy protein to carry a heart disease health claim.

In fact, recent studies show that soy can actually contribute to or cause heart disease, including:

  • Endothelial damage,
  • Heart arrhythmias, and
  • Cardiomyopathy

The petition also documents longstanding concern in the scientific community -- including the FDA’s own Laboratory for Toxicological Research -- regarding soy’s possible role in carcinogenesis, thyroid disease, reproductive health problems including infertility, and other illnesses.

Avoid Soy like a Plague!

Soy is the #1 genetically modified produced plant in the US and it is LOADED with pesticides because it is resistant to Round Up. So soy is saturated with Round Up during its growth phase to kill the weeds. Ultimately high residues are left on the plant and they slowly kill you.

Your choice but I would never knowingly consume soy oil

Additionally there are many other reasons to avoid unfermented soy.

Vaccines are Poison use Vitamin D3 etc..

All Vaccines are poisons. None are necessary. 50% of Medical Schools teach 1 nutrition class, and the other 50% teach ZERO. Medical Doctors chase around disease after disease. The researchers get paid to research and "find a cure." There is no money in it for the Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies for a person to take whole food supplements and be healthy! The whole system loves the white flour, high fructose syrup, synthetic vitamins like Centrum etc... that only make you sicker! They love Mcdonalds etc... Solution is preventative medicine. Linus Pauling, Bernard Jenson, Mr. Bragg , Jack La Lanne etc... Omega 3's and Vitamin D3 is crucial!
Prevent all the diseases .... we don't need to name more diseases. Everyone should be taking cod liver oil daily! It has omegas, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E.
SIDS is a Vitamin C problem. Many JAMA or other Medical journals from the last 50 years back up the science that proved success through preventative medicine with proper Nutrition.

Is Vitamin D Deficiency to Blame for Autism?

A new theory with sound science and history explains the dramatic rise in autism seen in recent decades. Dr. John Cannell, a physician has researched this.

Vitamin D deficient rats are born with "increased brain size and enlarged ventricles, abnormalities similar to those found in autistic children.

Higher latitudes have less Vitamin D production is known to be problematic, especially during the winter, autism is more common....

Milk Thistle Extract Suppresses Liver Cancer

Silibinin, a flavonoid derived from milk thistle, reduce cancer cell lines. It reduced the cell proliferation and suppressing cell cycle progression, increasing apoptosis (programmed death of cancer cells), and altering the chromatin structure of cancer cells. - Dale Kiefer.
