Get your vitamin D tested....

Link is not working for me, but I'm on the same JHU email list and here is an excerpt:

"While no animal studies I am aware of show complete cure of prostate cancer with vitamin D therapy, demonstrations of significant delay in cancer cell growth, delay in the progression of tumors, and prolonged survival in animals undergoing vitamin D treatment have all been completed and confirmed. This work has described the potential of vitamin D in prostate cancer therapy." -

My level was in low 30's when first tested, but I've gotten into the 70's now with D3 supplements.

Not one of my Doctors even suggested that I have my Vitamin D tested. I had it tested after I read Dr Myers book. At was 45. My GP thought it was fine. But I am now taking suppliments to get it to 70+.

My regular MD has been testing D3 levels in blood for years...my last test was borderline low, so she advised a supplement and I now have John taking it as well. With all the problems with sun exposure (and as one who has had basal cell skin cancer), many do not get enough D. I've heard alot about its merits of fighting/preventing certain cancers but frankly don't put much stock in this since cancer is far too complex a disease to cure/prevent with vitamin supplements. But, I do think that certain vitamins (and D may be one of them) does boost the body's immune system somewhat with the potential of fighting off certain conditions.
