    Vitamin D deficiency and low, not high, dopamine drive schizophrenia

    One of the most persistent medical myths can be found in psychiatry. More specifically, in the category of psychotic mental disorders. Schizophrenia is perhaps the most widely studied representative of such conditions and the prevailing dogma/hypothesis about schizophrenia (and other psychotic...

    Vitamin D is a ‘Game Changer’ for Patients With GI Cancers

    The actual title of the article and I agree with that statement since the study demonstrated that taking just 2,000 IU vitamin D daily reduced relapse/death by 30%+ for a number of different GI cancers that have seen their rates skyrocket recently, especially in people under 40 years of age. The...

    Vitamin D may prevent atrial fibrillation (afib)

    Some good news to all the people with this condition. Their numbers are, unfortunately, steadily rising and Big Pharma has produced "wonderful" (and actually, fraudulent) new drugs such as Xarelto to "help" them, with the end results of afib rates still rising and Xarelto becoming one of the...

    Vitamin D may prevent/treat migraine in humans

    Yet another chronic and debilitating condition may turn out to have a surprisingly cheap, widely available, and safe solution. Namely, vitamin D. In pharma research, a new drug that demonstrates effectiveness for a specific condition of just 20% over a placebo group is considered a very solid...

    Vitamin D may ameliorate/resolve (allergic) asthma

    It looks like vitamin D may be the "vitamin" (actually, seco-steroid) analog of aspirin - i.e. there is hardly a condition where this humble "vitamin" has not demonstrated beneficial effects. The new study now adds asthma to the list of chronic, debilitating (and potentially lethal) conditions...

    Low Vitamin D (25OHD) Or Calcium Deficiency?

    Hello everyone, I have seen some people testing both their storage (25OHD) and active (1,25OHD) vitamin D, and those with low storage D had almost always high active D. Reading on the connection between 1,25D and PTH has brought me to the hypothesis that possibly people with low storage D /...

    Vitamin D may prevent dementia / Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

    The study is observational and does not really include information on specific dosing, but it was written in a way that suggests any exposure to vitamin D over a year was linked to significantly lower risk of both getting dementia/AD and/or dying from it over the next 5 years. Considering the...

    Vitamin D can reverse peripheral neuropathy and demyelination

    Some great news for patients with diabetes and/or multiple sclerosis (MS). The former is well-known to cause peripheral neuropathy (PN) and the latter's defining characteristics is a progressive demyelination, which leads to both central and peripheral symptoms, including pain, burning, muscle...

    How to Build Your Own Vitamin D Lamp (testing included)

    Hey there! After recently purchasing and testing the Sperti vitamin d lamp, I decided to have a go at building my own, and boy am I glad I did. This build incorporates four 54w dragon D3 bulbs made by Arcadia. Testing was done using a UVA, UVB, UVC, and UVI meter to compare the DIY output to...

    Vitamin D supplementation may lower suicide risk by 50%

    Suicide rates have been rising for the last 20+ years and have truly gotten out of control since the pandemic started. As usual, the mainstream version is that this is not an environmentally-driven issue but a "complex" interplay of genetic factors and poor lifestyle choices. As such, medicine...

    Vitamin D Reduces TMAO From High-Choline Diet, Promotes Non-Atherogenic Microbiome

    The role of trimethylamine n-oxide (TMAO) in human disease has been quite controversial. The carnitine/choline in red meat and eggs had been purported to generate trimethylamine (TMA) via bacterial metabolism, which then goes on to become TMAO via the action of hepatic FMO3. The often-promoted...

    Vitamin D may prevent (and even reverse) uterine fibroids

    Yet another big win for vitamin D, much to the chagrin of the medical establishment, which has been throwing "mud" (read: fake, ghostwritten studies) against vitamin D ever since it showed so much promise in human studies for both preventing and treating COVID-19. Now, the study below...

    Low vitamin D levels linked to premature death

    Another way to phrase the findings of the study is that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of death from any cause. Another important finding of the study is that it was the levels of 25-OH-D (calcifediol, a biomarker of of cholcalciferol (vit. D3) supplementation) and not 1,25-OH-D...

    Hypothyroidism, deficiency of calcium, vitamin D/B12 may cause hair graying

    Yet another study/article that reports a link between bioenergetics and hair color. Premature graying has been one of the fastest-growing "epidemics" over the last 20 years in developed countries. While a connection with stress has been suggested by numerous studies, mainstream medicine has...

    Low vitamin D and HIGH (not low) PTH predict bone deterioration

    A great new study, which would hopefully trigger a re-assessment of the current approaches in treating osteoporosis/osteopenia. Namely, one of the core therapies for deteriorating bone health/density (usually associated with aging, glucocorticoid treatment, kidney disease, etc) is administration...

    Vitamin D likely effective as an antidepressant

    That is the simple conclusion of the largest meta-study to date. Namely, vitamin D in doses above 2,000 IU daily has antidepressant effect when used as monotherapy. The antidepressant effects of vitamin D when used in combination with pharma antidepressant drugs is already well-established, so...

    Vitamin D Deficiency Can Lead to Dementia And Stroke

    Despite this being an observational study, the analysis for extraneous factors has been strong enough that the authors believe the link between vitamin D deficiency and dementia/stroke is causal. As the study itself says, almost 20% of dementia/stroke cases could be prevented by simply...

    Even low-dose Vitamin D may prevent/treat dental cavities

    Another study demonstrating that an "inevitable" conditions such as dental cavities may actually be preventable and, at least in its early forms, even treatable by vitamin D. The study immersed extracted teeth in different types of saliva with varying pH levels. One of the saliva types also came...

    Vitamin D can prevent, and even reverse, the cancerization process

    The study is on ovarian cancer but I don't see why its findings won't apply to all other cancers, as the study itself states, especially the ones forming in the abdominal cavity and involving the peritoneum. he study found that vitamin D can actually restore the "cancer" cells back to normal...

    Milk or water are optimal drinks for (oral) vitamin D bioavailability

    Just a quick post about something I thought many people will probably find interesting, considering the widespread use of oral vitamin D supplements. The findings of the study are a bit surprising, considering that vitamin D is one of the "fat-soluble" vitamins and as such is expected to be...
