Re: Bumps and sore in my mouth
glaxony,
I agree with you that sunlight is our best source of Vitamin D, but in the Winter months, and climes where sunlight is sparse, there is a strong correlation between Vitamin D Insufficiency, and and a higher incidence of cancers. Supplementation is seen by many (including myself) as therefore being essential.
Just to let you and others know, most all Vitamin D experts/researchers have discredited the Marshall Protocol.
It was invented by an electrical engineer Trevor Marshall PhD, for the treatment of his own sarcoidosis.
The Marshall Protocol site claims to be a study site, where the evidence used to support the MP on the site is not really objective. Any positive post by a patient on the Marshall Protocol.com site is put up in the success stories section, even though the improvement may be temporary and the patient has subsequently felt worse.
Dr. John Cannell, one of the foremost experts on vitamin D today, scripted a response to the MP, which he sent out in his newsletter....................
"If Marshall’s hypothesis is correct, that low vitamin D levels are the result of disease, then he is saying that cancer causes low vitamin D levels, not the other way around. The problem is that Professor Joanne Lappe directly disproved that theory in a randomized controlled trial, when she found that baseline vitamin D levels were strong and independent predictors of who would get cancer in the future.
The lower your levels, the higher your risk. Furthermore, increasing baseline levels from 31 to 38 ng/ml reduced incident cancers by more than 60% over a four-year period. Therefore, advising patients to become vitamin D deficient as the MP clearly does, could cause some patients to die from cancer".
