Re: vit. D (was Website on Therapies)

Hi ,

" VGammill " vgammill@...

<<I routinely recommend sun...and calcitriol...but I don't go to high doses or

use vitamin D...as a therapy unless the intention is differentiation such as

after chemo or with low grade cancers>>

May I ask why not? Does it interfere w/particular therapies?

I've read:

“16,000 IU three times weekly [for NHL] (Mellibovsky L et al 1993)â€

" Holick, MD, Boston University Professor of Medicine...said...`…We

gave mice colon cancer.…[but] having vitamin D in the diet [resulted in] 40%

reduction in tumor size…' " (www.doctoryourself.com/holick.html;

www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v03n10.shtml

" [LEF.org] agrees, suggesting breast cancer patients may take between 4000 to

6000 IU " www.breastcancerchoices.org/vitd3

Schachter, M.D. [www.mbschachter.com] reported in 2007 that he…gives

some patients up to 10,000…Dr. Bernardo (an aggressive practitioner whom I

much respect) gives cancer patients at least 5000 IU…Abram Hoffer, M.D. used

5-19,000 IU.

“trials running in Canada using up to 40,000 IU per day in cancer

patients…Go to clinicaltrials.gov and search for 'vitamin D cancer’†4/09;

" 8000-10,000 i.u. ideal for cancer patients. More not necesssary though not

toxic " DrKumarj@..., 4/5/09

“Bill [www.beating-cancer-gently.com] interviewed a doctor on his

radio show a couple of weeks [who recommended] 30,000 [iU]†12/10/09

" video on CBN, of an Advance prostate cancer patient...bone and liver

I would take it in the form of (natural) vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), NOT

(synthetic) vit. D2 (ergocalciferol).
