Raising D Levels to Prevent and Treat Cancer

Can getting more sunshine and taking a vitamin really prevent and treat cancer?

In my last blog I talked about the new theory of the cause of cancer, the DINOMIT model. In this model vitamin D deficiency is at the base of this theory. This is good news for cancer prevention because it means that at just a few dollars a month, everyone in the US can afford to reduce their risk for cancer by possibly 70-99%.

The DINOMIT model also has good news for cancer patients seeking treatment because it shows that at ANY stage of ANY cancer, we can halt the growth of the cancer simply by restoring proper intercellular communication by raising blood levels of Vitamin D to optimum 60-80ng/ml. This is done by letting UVB light shine on your skin each day for long enough to tan but not burn, and/or by taking D2 or D3 oral supplements.

The only way to know what your blood levels of D are is to take a blood test. The test to order is "25 OH vit D," not "1-25 OH vit D." Then you can sun bathe or take D supplements and recheck you blood in two weeks to check your progress. Current research is finding that patients undergoing chemotherapy have a very hard time getting their blood levels of D to rise. This may be due to Vit D's role in producing glutathione, a protein used by the liver to rid the body of toxins.

Vitamin D toxicity does not occur until blood levels rise above 200ng/ml, so don't be afraid to take too much D at first. For a typical person, 1000 iu of D3 per day will raise blood levels 7-10ng/ml. But the trick is, you have to take the 1000 iu per day forever to maintain the higher level (unless other sources of D increase such as sunshine). If you are overweight, then it may require 2000-3000 iu of D3 to raise your blood levels of D by 7-10ng/ml. And if you are sick (like have cancer) it may take 2000-3000 iu of D3 per day or if you are toxic (like taking chemotherapy)then it may take 2000-3000 iu per day. So if you are obese, have cancer, and are on chemotherapy, you may need 5000-7000 iu of D3 per day to raise your blood levels by 7-10 points in two weeks. That can add up to a lot of D3 per day compared to the old standard of 400iu being plenty for good health.

The bottom line is that everyone and every case is different. You need to check you blood level regularly to know exactly where you are at and how to proceed.
