NIH.... DO YOUR JOB!
Canceling a major falsehood that was accepted by the NIH can improve the quality of life for all Americans.
Dr. Malone in his article today explains what is the role of ACIP. They are charged with being an objective, analytical, transparent advisory board that provides input to the decision makers at NIH for improving the health of the citizens of the USA.
I responded to his article with following comments:
AAP is just one of many medical groups that have been captured by Big Pharma. National Academy of Medicine is also bias in their advisory capacity. Formerly, called Institute of Medicine that understates the true value of Vitamin D for maintaining good health. In turn, NIH has adopted the recommendation of IOM which is a disservice to all Americans. Returning ACIP to an open and honest dialog for transparency is a great step forward. It is needed across all groups that influence the medical mindset and medical policy standards. The other basic issue that needs to be addressed is making sure the medical gate keepers at NIH various branches are qualified in their medical education to be analytical and objective.
I raised the issue that the NIH needs to fix the recommendations for Vitamin D values to improve the health of all Americans. In turn, I received input about Dr. Campbells analysis which I agree with.
I also received an article by a physician who validates that the current NIH recommendations are grossly inadequate.
What more does NIH need to know to change the subnormal daily recommendations for Vitamin D? It’s time that it is recognized that Vitamin D in reality is a hormone responsible for turning on about 3000 gene expressions when required. Turns on E-Cadherin which is a substance that surrounds cancer cells to prevent metastasis. It also is required to turn on the Breast Milk gene so the newborn receives colostrum which is a natural vaccine. Just two examples.
My thoughts for the day.
