    Higher doses of vitamin D, other steroids, may be needed in obese people

    The title, at least in regards to vitamin D, is something Ray commented quite a few times when people asked him what the optimal dose for raising vitamin D levels was. His response always cautioned that there is no one-size-fits-all due to the fact that in obese people vitamin D can accumulate...

    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...

    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 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...

    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...

    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...

    High-dose vitamin D could help fight HIV/AIDS

    Actual article title, though I disagree with the "high-dose" qualifier as it corresponds roughly to a vitamin D3 dose of ~7,000 IU daily, which is not really a pharmacological dose. While the authors were not brave enough to claim that vitamin D supplementation could be an effective prophylactic...

    A very important study, with huge ramifications, considering most people taking prescription vitamin D are consuming vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) as that is the only FDA-approved vitamin D variety available for oral use. The widely available OTC variety vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is not...

Now, the study participants were all female, with female-pattern hair loss (FPHL), however the findings...
