<p>There are many ways that vitamin D function supports cancer prevention. Vitamin D triggers a cell to commit suicide if it’s damaged. It helps regulate cell growth and has potent anti-inflammatory properties.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Vitamin D enhances almost every part of your immune system, enhances chemotherapy, and makes insulin more sensitive. It downgrades genes that cause cancer and supports the gut microbiome, which is 80% of your immune system. </p> <p><br></p> <p>In a cancer cell, inflammation and a hypoxic, acidic environment block the absorption of vitamin D. Cancer also blocks the enzymes that allow you to convert inactive vitamin D to the active form. Cancer damages the liver and kidney, two significant sites of vitamin D metabolism.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Around 80% of tumors produce a hormone similar to the parathyroid hormone, which extracts calcium from our bones. This is why hypercalcemia is a side effect of cancer. When the parathyroid hormone goes up, it lowers and inhibits vitamin D. Too much calcium in the blood also inhibits vitamin D.</p> <p><br></p> <p>There are two systems of vitamin D: one that affects bone and calcium, and the other that supports the immune system. The bone system only requires a small amount of vitamin D every two weeks, while the other requires higher amounts daily. </p> <p><br></p> <p>When dealing with cancer, consider taking around 50,000 IU of vitamin D with magnesium, vitamin K2, and zinc daily. The World Health Organization acknowledges that vitamin D has anticarcinogenic properties. </p> <p> </p> <p>Autoimmune conditions, osteoarthritis, tuberculosis, and HIV are also associated with vitamin D deficiency. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Along with increasing vitamin D3, the following epigenetic factors can help with cancer prevention:</p> <p>1. Magnesium</p> <p>2. Omega-3 fatty acids </p> <p>3. Resveratrol</p> <p>4. Quercetin </p> <p>5. Curcumin </p> <p>6. Berberine</p> <p>7. Intense exercise</p> <p>8. Sulforaphane </p> <p>9. Ginger</p> <p>10. Fasting</p> <p>11. Low-carb diet </p> <p>12. Probiotics</p> <p>13. Infrared light</p> <p>14. Decreasing stress</p> <p><br></p> <p>DATA: </p> <p><a href="https://orthomolecular.activehosted.com/index.php?action=social&chash=8d3bba7425e7c98c50f52ca1b52d3735.329&s=539c2267ff2a4d4326c09e0abb481573" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://orthomolecular.activehosted.c... </a></p> <p><a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/10/12/4096" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/10/12/... </a></p> <p><br></p>
