VITAMIN D IS HOT. "According to a January 17 press release by Orthomolecular Medicine, " "23,600 medical papers with vitamin D in the title or abstract were published in 2012 alone, bringing the grand total to 33,800." https://lnkd.in/enKX4U6 View in LinkedIn

VITAMIN D HITS 3K GENES. "Scientists have identified nearly 3,000 genes that are influenced by vitamin D levels, and vitamin D receptors have been found throughout the human body." https://lnkd.in/enKX4U6 View in LinkedIn

VITAMIN D has a "therapeutic and disease-preventive potential in osteoporosis, but also in different types of cancer, in several infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, and in autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis." Excellent review. https://lnkd.in/eezfc3H View in LinkedIn

SOME CLINICIANS STRONG ADVOCATES. "Video by Dr. Coimbra – 95 percent of auto-immune cured with vitamin D in high doses - April 2014" https://lnkd.in/eCAN7jy View in LinkedIn

DATA COMING IN. "[I]t is concluded that the evidence that sunlight is a protective factor for colorectal, prostate, breast cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is still accumulating. The same conclusion can be drawn concerning high vitamin D levels and the risk of colorectal cancer and possibly breast cancer." https://lnkd.in/enKX4U6 View in LinkedIn

ANTIBIOTIC D. "The hormonal form of vitamin D up-regulates anti-microbial peptides, namely cathelicidin, to enhance clearance of bacteria at various barrier sites and in immune cells." https://lnkd.in/e2BPkP3 View in LinkedIn

EPIDIOMIOLOGY OF D. "A number of epidemiologic studies using vitamin D status or season as the exposure have found an inverse association between vitamin D and incidence of several infections, including influenza, upper respiratory tract infection, HIV infection, and bacterial vaginosis." Clinical trials are confounded by different designs. https://lnkd.in/e2BPkP3 View in LinkedIn

TB TREATMENT AND PREVENTION. "The isolation of vitamin D3 from cod liver oil, which was used to treat tuberculosis (TB) in the 1930s, led to its widespread use in TB treatment and prevention, until the introduction of antiinfective chemotherapy in the 1950s." Explains all those mothers in our youth cramming cod liver oil down children's throats. https://lnkd.in/eabVNxv View in LinkedIn

INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND D. "Recent studies have demonstrated that vitamin D regulates the expression of specific endogenous antimicrobial peptides in immune cells; this action leads to a potential role for vitamin D in modulating the immune response to various infectious diseases." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2855046/ View in LinkedIn

REVIEW OF 13 D CLINICAL TRIALS. "On the basis of studies reviewed to date, the strongest evidence supports further research into adjunctive vitamin D therapy for tuberculosis, influenza, and viral upper respiratory tract illnesses." https://lnkd.in/eabVNxv View in LinkedIn
