MS Vitamin D link Accepted





We already know that vitamin Ddeficiency is endemic in northern climates and linking MS to it is agimme.  At least the statistics will workout nicely.  To prove the reality of thelink is quite another matter altogether. 

I suspect that chronic vitamin D deficiencyis a likely culprit for adult skin issues in which boils and acne play a largepart. Yet efforts to apply vitamin D likely are simply under prescribed avoidinga proper resolution.

Just as ten grams of vitamin C atthe least is indicated, it is plausible that a proper dose of vitamin D maywell be in the several gram level in the early stage of treatment.

Doctors are not scientists andactually lack proper management of the patient so must under prescribe which atbest postpones the problem.

Two scientists who applied the VitaminC protocol ultimately used nearer to twenty grams per day.  

The take home is that you mustdecide to use the protocol and adjust the dosage upward in steps until youestablish an reaction which will take place over many days.  I am not sure about negative reactions forvitamin D but checking that is simple and bringing it up to your tolerancelevel will properly ensure sufficient vitamin D to test the ability to improvethe skin issues.

Obviously once sufficiency isestablished it seems likely that a reduced application will be sufficient tosustain the effect.  Again we lack aworking formula or simple test regime.

Conventional medicine finally admits MS caused by vitamin D deficiency

(NaturalNews) Is it true that those who suffer from Multiple sclerosis(MS) just need a little sun? Researchers at the University of Oxfordseem to think so. In 2006, a study by the Journal of the American MedicalAssociation suggested higher levels of vitamin D might decrease overallrisk of developing MS. Now researchers at the University of Oxfordare backing that study with further evidence while also suggesting a linkbetween lack of sunlight and how the body responds when faced with aninfection. The research concludesthat MS is caused by several factors working in combination but clearlycorrelates to a lack of vitamin D.


Is it really as simple as soaking up some rays?


While the phenomenon of vitamin Ddeficiency is seen all over the world, countries in the northernhemisphere have been linked to significantly higher rates of MS. Scotland, forexample, has one of the largest populations of MS sufferers, while the disease is"virtually unknown" in Africa. Even in sunny areas of the globe, it'snot uncommon for people to become vitamin D deficient during the winter, as thesun's rays aren't often high enough to penetrate atmospheric layers.


The research put forth by the University of Oxford suggests that, while thosewho already have MS may not benefit exponentially simply by increasing levelsof vitamin D, getting more sun couldbe an effective preventative measure against developing the disease andmanaging symptoms.


More importantly, MS sufferers may be able to boost immunity to other conditionswith an increase in vitamin D. A recent study by AnticancerResearch affirms that typical adults need much more than the dailydosage recommended by the U.S. Government. According to thatresearch, 4,000-8,000 IUs of vitamin D every day could not only help prevent MSbut also several types of cancer and Type 1 diabetes.

The health careindustry, of course, won't promote a natural and safepreventative measure for degenerative diseases. Instead, people are warnedabout the dangers of UV exposure andthe risks of vitamin toxicity. With vitamin D deficiency afflicting 90% of theU.S.population,however, it may be time to get a tan. Here are some interesting facts about therelationship between vitamin D and health:


1. It's free. Five to thirty minutes of sunlight a couple of times a week isusually sufficient for helping the body create enough vitaminD

2. Getting enough vitamin D from food is virtually impossible

3. Sunscreens may block the body's ability to generate vitamin D

4. Vitamin D isessential for the absorption of calcium in the body

5. Those who live further from the equator generally require longer periodsof sun exposure togenerate enough vitamin D

6. A lack of vitamin D can affect bone strength. One theory suggests that womenwho are deficient in vitamin D can suffer from contracting pelvises, which canresult in the death of babies during labor

7. Vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed quickly. It takes months for thebody to increase and regulate vitamin D levels. This is why short periods ofsun exposure are not only safe butalso necessary for the synthesis of this important substance


For those with MS, increased sun exposure may be an easy and safe preventativemeasure against further cognitive and physical degeneration. As a direct threatto the medical establishment, however, it remains to be seen whetherfurther government warningsand regulations about vitamin D will eventually ban people from sun bathing.
