Comments on: Vitamin D May Promote Colon Cancer Survival http://news.health.com/2008/06/19/vitamin-d-colon-survival/ Health, medical, and wellness news from Health.com Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:15:25 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Ryan W. http://news.health.com/2008/06/19/vitamin-d-colon-survival/#comment-1681 Ryan W.

D linked to increased mortality in osteoporosis and autoimmune disease are showing an effect of infection and Vit. D receptor disregulation rather than simple deficiency. You won't find any actual research that shows vitamin D + calcium increases bone density above calcium alone, though some people still assert that conclusion. Vitamin D raises blood levels of calcium, yes. But not bone density. Many people with low 25D have high 1,25D which is a product of 25D That argues against deficiency in some cases. And in favor of infection + occasionally dysregulation of the Vitamin D Receptor resulting in overproduction of 1,25D from 25D (which leads to low levels of 25D, which appears like deficiency) bacteriality.com/2007/09/15/vitamind/ They say high levels of 25D deactivates the Vitamin D receptor based on molecular modeling, though. That part I question. How much D3 supplementation does it take to maximize cathelidicin production? I cannot find a direct answer to that question, and it should be simple. Similarly Vit. D3 isn't the only thing that we get from sunlight. sunlight 1) Helps break down bilirubin, a somewhat toxic breakdown product of hemoglobin. 2) Helps (not just through the eyes, but through the skin) keep your 24-hour rhythms in sync - so you're tired at night, not during the day. 3) Helps avoid seasonal depression.

3) Helps avoid seasonal depression.
