In a gathering of vitamin D researchers recently held in Toronto, Dr.

Cedric Garland delivered a blockbuster announcement: Breast cancer can be

virtually " eradicated " by raising vitamin D levels.

 

 

Vitamin D is " the cure " for breast cancer that the cancer industry

ridiculously claims to be searching for. The cure already exists! But the

breast

cancer industry simply refuses to acknowledge any " cure " that doesn't

involve mammography, chemotherapy or high-profit pharmaceuticals.

 

 

Vitamin D is finally gaining some of the recognition it deserves as a

miraculous anti-cancer nutrient. It is the solution for cancer prevention. It

could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year in the U.S. alone. Even

Dr. Andrew Weil recently raised his recommendation of vitamin D to 2,000 IU

per day.

 

 

This is the vitamin that could destroy the cancer industry and save

millions of women from the degrading, harmful cancer " treatments " pushed by

conventional medicine. No wonder they don't want to talk about it! The cancer

industry would prefer to keep women ignorant about this vitamin that could

save their breasts and their lives.

 

 

Below I'm reprinting the full statement from Dr. Cedric Garland following

the Vitamin D conference recently held in Toronto.

 

 

Statement from Dr. Cedric Garland

 

Breast cancer is a disease so directly related to vitamin D deficiency

that a woman's risk of contracting the disease can be 'virtually eradicated'

by elevating her vitamin D status to what vitamin D scientists consider to

be natural blood levels.

 

 

That's the message vitamin D pioneer Dr. Cedric Garland delivered in

Toronto Tuesday as part of the University of Toronto School of Medicine's

" Diagnosis and Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency " conference - the largest

gathering of vitamin D researchers in North America this year. More than 170

researchers, public health officials and health practitioners gathered at the

UT Faculty club for the landmark event.

 

 

Garland's presentation headlined a conference that reviewed many aspects

of the emerging vitamin D research field - a booming discipline that has

seen more than 3,000 academic papers this calendar year alone, conference

organizers said. That makes vitamin D by far the most prolific topic in

medicine this year, with work connecting it with risk reduction in two dozen

forms

of cancer, heart disease, multiple scleroses and many other disorders.

 

 

Dr. Reinhold Vieth, Associate Professor in the Department of Laboratory

Medicine and Pathobiology at University of Toronto, and Director of the Bone

and Mineral Laboratory at Mount Sinai Hospital, organized the event in

conjunction with Grassroots Health - an international vitamin D advocacy group

founded by breast cancer survivor Carole Baggerly.

 

 

Baggerly implored the research group to take action and encourage

Canadians to learn more about vitamin D and to raise their vitamin D levels.

 

 

An estimated 22,700 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009,

according to the Canadian Cancer Society's latest figures.

 

 

As much as 97 percent of Canadians are vitamin D deficient at some point

in the year, according to University of Calgary research - largely due to

Canada's northerly latitudes and weak sun exposure. Sunshine is by far the

most abundant source of vitamin D - called 'The Sunshine Vitamin' - with

salmon and fortified milk being other sources. Vitamin D supplementation helps

raise levels for many as well.

 

 

Grassroots Health's " D-action " panel

- 30 of the world's leading researchers on vitamin D and many other

vitamin D supporters

recommend 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily and vitamin D blood levels of

100-150 nanomoles -per-liter as measured by a vitamin D blood test.

 

 

Vieth pointed out that natural vitamin D levels of mammals who live

outdoors in sunny climates is higher than that - up to 200 nanomoles-per liter.

And Garland, whose presentation was entitled " Breast Cancer as a Vitamin D

Deficiency Disease " presented data showing that raising one's vitamin D

status near those levels decreased breast cancer risk more than 77 percent.

 

 

'The Sunshine Vitamin' was once thought of only for bone health, helping

the body process calcium. But more recent work has shown that all cells in

the body have " vitamin D receptors " which help control normal cell growth.

Additionally, Garland presented new evidence that low vitamin D status

compromises the integrity of calcium-based cellular bonding within tissues,

which when eroded allow rogue cancer cells to spread more readily.

 

 

Grassroots Health is trying to raise vitamin D awareness among Canadians.

Despite epidemic-level vitamin D deficiency in Canada, fewer than nine per

cent of Canadians have ever had their vitamin D levels checked by a

professional and most who have do not know their vitamin D blood level.
