WHY MEDICINE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE TRUE VALUE OF VITAMIN D

THIS IS A REPUBLICATION FROM MARCH 3RD OF 2022

I AM REPUBLISHING THIS BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE BIAS ARTICLES BEING PUMPED OUT AGAIN TO DISCREDIT THE TRUE VALUE OF VITAMIN D.

My latest comment on D!

Vit D blood value range of 30 to 100 ng’s is based on historically low blood levels due to lifestyle issues. Sufficient evidence says the correct range is 50 to 100 ng’s. Ooops.. a health population decreases doc visits! Our VA in US did a study that proved it and they deep sixd’s the study because it would shrink their institution!

The following article was written before the Covid crisis emerged. What we have learned that has been ignored by Institutionalized medicine is that the viral invasion could have been contained quickly with early intervention with proper cortisone treat and O2 as well as boosting immune system viability with nutrient supplementation including Zinc Gluconate and especially Vitamin D because a blood value above 50 ng’s reduces the risk of dying dramatically. Grassrootshealth has reported that death rate is 17 times higher if blood value is below 20ng’s. Testing for Vitamin D deficiency should be standard medical procedure.

Why Medicine doesn't understand the true value of vitamin D for Good health

Before, during and for a short while after WWII, we had a healthy society because we ate from Victory gardens during the war and the farmers were local and our food arrived fresh in most cases. Back then, only 1 in 22 women acquired breast cancer. Since then our cost of healthcare has soared and other industrialized nations are much healthier than Americans.

As we moved forward into the 1960’s, the need to produce more food at less cost, we moved into factory farming methods that changed the way we grew and processed our food.  As we moved thru the rest of that century we continually added more chemicals and trace toxins to our foods and increased crop yield on nutrient depleted soil. A major farming trend was to produce GMO crops that produced a higher yield per acre and the plants were modified to tolerate higher levels of herbicides and other crop chemicals which results in the food crop to contain residual toxic amounts of the chemical. The result of factory farming methods as announced by USDA in 2009 was that nutrient deficiencies abound in the average American.  

At the same time, NIH has continually stated that all we need to do is eat a good diet. Unfortunately, that is not is being delivered to the average American. Since then there has been little governmental action taken except for a minority of informed Americans rejecting factory processed food and going organic.

The result is that now Medical costs are approaching 20% of GDP and food costs are at 10% of GDP.  Just the reverse of what it was in 1955.

The majority of medical professionals over the last half century have been taught that taking Vitamin D in more than 1000 iu’s daily could lead to Vitamin D poisoning. Totally untrue.

Vitamin D is the Canary in the coal mine that is signally that medicine doesn’t understand the true role of nutrient rich food void of toxins that is required to stay healthy.

What if we had a valid test for Vitamin D in 1955?  What would it tell us?  it would have told us that 50 ng’s was the norm for Americans.  This was before sunscreens, sun avoidance, eggs with little or no Vitamin D, over medicating, fast foods, drinking 200 liters/capita per year of pop containing phosphoric acid and other lifestyle habits that are detrimental to good health and the depletion of Vitamin D in the body.

Instead, the blood test was not common until 15 to 20 years ago, when the average American was now deficient due to the “modern” life style that has been adopted. So now, the new norm is a sub-normal blood value for Vitamin D and is embraced by medicine as being the gold standard.

IOM (now called NAM- National Academy of Medicine) also said that pregnant mothers need no more Vitamin D than the average adult. Shocking that there is a lack of understanding that pregnancy requires ample nutrient intake during pregnancy to avoid delivering an infant with health issues.

The www.grassrootshealth.net  research initiative called “Protect our Kids NOW!’ has demonstrated that preemie rates will drop 60% if the mother has adequate Vitamin D intake during pregnancy.

The other grassroots research program has determined that women’s chance of acquiring breast cancer would drop by 80% if the blood value of Vitamin D was above 50 ng’s. Today, 1 in 8 women will experience breast cancer.  Shameful.

IOM’s pronouncement in 2011 on the new Vitamin D guidelines was totally flawed and Dr. Baggerly who is a biostatistician has informed NIH of the error which indicates that Vitamin D is ten times safer than what several million medical students have been taught for the last 60 years.

If IOM/NAM continues to believe as well as the medical establishment that only 20 ng’s of Vitamin D are required to turn 3000 plus genes on in the human body and the detrimental American lifestyle continues to be in vogue, medicine will never ever embrace the fact that cellular heath starts with rich nutrient intake void of trace toxins to live a full and vibrant life. The body can’t activate the genes controlled by the hormonal form of Vitamin D if the body is deficient.

What will it take to fix the national Vitamin D deficiency epidemic that exists in not only the USA, but is a global problem for several billion people? The sun gives the planet earth life and all it’s inhabitants both animal and vegetable. Will we continue to study the issue to death or will there be medical leadership that will embrace the true value and the need for increasing the blood value of vitamin D to 50 ng’s for optimum health?

PS: 2021 Update.  Covid crisis would not exist if all Americans had a Vit D blood value of 50 ng’s, sufficient Zinc and a vibrant whole immune system.
