Sunshine (Vitamin D3) as a Protectant Against and Treatment for Breast Cancer. Overview

There are 500 scientific studies cataloged in the scientific database PubMed on vitamin D3 as a protectant against and treatment for breast cancer and the average woman knows nothing about this extremely important topic.

So we are going to tell you.

First, vitamin D3 works synergistically with vitamin A. If you take vitamin D3 supplements or depend on sunlight for vitamin D3 synthesis in the skin, you really should take vitamin A supplements as well. Or, eat lots of fish and carotene containing foods such as carrots.

As I mentioned in the previous Blog on vitamin D3 and hypertension, if you purchase vitamin D3 capsules, you must open the capsules and dissolve the vitamin D3, an insoluble steroid hormone, in whole milk (it contains fat). Or, you can buy cod liver oil capsules which contain vitamin D3 already dissolved in oil.

The only dietary source of vitamin D3 is salmon or fish liver oils, as mentioned above.

Since vitamin D3 is responsible for regulating the update of calcium from the intestines, you should also take 1 gram of calcium citrate each day to complement the vitamin D3. In the absence of vitamin D3, calcium and magnesium have a difficult time entering the body from foods or supplements.

The following article can be read online. It does a nice job discussing the affects of vitamin D3 on breast cancer morphology.

In brief, as some of the following articles also confirm, vitamin D3 can prevent pre-cancerous lesions in the breast. In addition, vitamin D3 can be used to treat active breast cancer.

The following article, which can be read online, is another excellent review of how vitamin D3 and its receptor negatively control the development of breast cancer. It is a tad complicated in some areas, but I rate it as a "must read".

I am a man and I love women. In fact, I adore them. With this in mind, it makes me sick to hear about women who have both breasts removed because some mindless doctor tells them that they are at risk of breast cancer. This is stupid and barbaric. I don't care if your mother and grandmother had breast cancer, that does NOT mean you are destined to also develop it. It does not mean genetic factors are involved.

Women drive themselves insane worrying about breast cancer, mutilation surgery, and horrible deaths. Men cannot understand, and will never be able to understand, the psychological horror associated with the removal of a breast. Even one packed full of cancer cells. Some breast removals are absolutely necessary but others clearly are not.

Consider the following simple senario. A woman does not get enough vitamin D3 in her system due to a poor exposure to ultraviolet B light. And she doesn't eat salmon, take cod liver oil capsules or vitamin D3 supplements. Without fear of contradiction, this vitamin deficiency predisposes her to develop breast cancer.

But predisposition does not mean that breast cancer will necessary develop. Something else has to happen to "push" the mammary cells into growth.

There are many environmental factors that can contribute to the development of breast cancer, a cancer that is now considered an epidemic in many areas of the world.

In a PubMed search, I found 250 scientific studies discussing the link between pesticide and insecticide exposure and breast cancer. It is a controversial topic. But these studies have missed something...vitamin D3.

Some women could be exposed to massive amounts of pesticides, fat loving chemicals that concentrate in breast tissue, and still not develop breast cancer. Why? Perhaps these women are exposed to sufficient amounts of ultraviolet B radiation from the sun, thereby making enough vitamin D3 in their body to ANTAGONIZE the development of pre-neoplastic cancer lesions.

Low vitamin D3 levels in the body, linked to exposure to a wide variety of pesticides and insecticides could easily cause breast cancer. There is NOTHING genetic about this response. Therefore, there is NO reason for a woman to allow the medical profession to mutilate her by removing healthy breasts without due cause.

Thank you for listening. I feel better now.

Stay tuned...
