How Vitamin D Reduces the Incidence of Cancer
Dr. Cedric Garland discusses the DINOMIT model of how vitamin D reduces the incidence of cancer.
How Vitamin D Reduces the Incidence of Cancer: The DINOMIT Model
In a new study, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used a complex computer prediction model to determine that intake of vitamin D3 and calcium would prevent 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer annually in the US and Canada. The researchers' model also predicted that 75% of deaths from these cancers could be prevented with adequate intake of vitamin D3 and calcium. Join Dr. Cedric Garland, lead researcher on the study, as he discusses the implications of these findings and the proposed actions.

Hidden Risks and Dangers of the Marshall Protocol
An individual made the following post on a Fibro. bulletin board last month, which I found well constructed and inclusive of several citations. This individual was on the MP for a few years and did not have a favorable experience with regards to their Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Sadly, this doesn't appear to be an isolated case, and many additional veterans of the protocol are reporting similar unfavorable results by engaging in a protocol designed to restore health that includes radically disobeying the laws of mother nature.
“The human body does not require sunlight, nor foods containing Vitamin D, in order for it to function correctly. The human body can manufacture all the Vitamin D it needs from its own 7-dehydrocholesterol. Clinical medicine is just plain wrong on its understanding of the actions of Vitamin D.” Trevor Marshall (1)To read more, the entire post can be found here: Hidden Risks and Dangers of the Marshall Protocol
The Marshall Protocol (MP) claims to cure CFS and FM, as as such, is a very polarizing topic. People are either really for it, or really against it. Seduced by the molecular modeling and hope of a cure, I was on the protocol for almost two years. However, after almost landing in ER and experiencing a permanent deterioration in all my CFS symptoms, I have learnt first-hand of the dangers and risks of the MP, none of which I was warned. The MP worsened my existing CFS symptoms such as fatigue, sleep dysfunction, muscle and joint pain and created new symptoms such as neuropathy, parenthesisa, breathing difficulties, cardiac pain and tinnitus which have persisted. Thus I feel that it is my duty to warn others who may be considering the MP, which continues to attract many new patients, of all the hidden risks so that they can make a fully informed decision about whether to undertake this protocol.
