Vitamin D – Breast Cancer Cure ???
Intake of a potent form of vitamin D, calcitrol has been found to induce a production of a tumor suppressing protein that can be used to prevent the spread of breast cancer. Vitamins have been getting a rash of critique as being mere placebos that have no benefits whatsoever in terms of cancer and prevention of such diseases. This counters that and shows that these vitamins may have a purpose to augment our daily vitamin intake that may have been going on for a long time without the patient knowing about it. Certain diseases are associated with lack of nutrition such as those suffered by people who live in high altitude who suffer from poor iodine intake which is due to a void of fish in their diet. Supplements have always been labeled as having “No Approved Therapeutic Claims”, maybe due to a lack of understanding they play in our daily life.

Other new discoveries have researchers jumping in their seats such as the genes that triggers healthy cell to become malignant and others. Thanks to molecular biology and better tools to help them on their studies to better understand diseases and the mechanisms that brings them about.
