Cancer is leading cause of death - Vitamin D and Receptor activators help

Cancer is Now the Leading Cause of Death GreenMedInfo – Nov 2019

• “Cancer has surpassed heart disease as the No. 1 cause of death in high-income countries…”

• “Some middle-income countries, which included the Philippines, Iran, South Africa, Colombia, China, Brazil, Malaysia, Turkey, Poland, Argentina and Chile, also saw cancer become the leading cause of death.”

• “The study suggested cancer is rising to the top because heart disease is better treated in high-income countries, saving more lives from heart disease and paving the way for cancer deaths to flourish”

• “Nearly 1,000 Natural Substances Have Anti-Cancer Potential”

  • “At the top of the list is curcumin …”

  • which activates the Vitamin D Receptor – Comment by VitaminDWiki

  • “Another top contender is vitamin D…”

The risk of 44 diseases at least double with poor Vitamin D Receptor as of Oct 2019

• Blood cell cancer is associated with a 3X worse Vitamin D Receptor – June 2019

• Melanoma cancer growth slowed by increased Vitamin D Receptor (yet again) – Oct 2019 which has the following

  • "I suspect that increased Vitamin D and Increased Vitamin D Receptor will PREVENT

  • as well as TREAT many Cancers - Founder of VitaminDWiki Oct 2019"

Vitamin D helps chemotherapy

• Chemotherapy and vitamin D - many studies with chart by VitaminDWiki

• Chemotherapy drugs often reduce Vitamin D levels, restoring levels helps– Aug 2018
