Considering that there is an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency caused by lack of exposure to sunlight, it is not particularly...

The world's foremost expert in vitamin C shares some of his secrets. The story on dosage and gut tolerance is related to how sick we are. Massive doses reverse most viral diseases, including the flu. Bowel tolerance is described. The dosage used determines the effects on the body. It also decreases the production of antibodies as it increases cellular immunity.

A report in the journal, Journal of Leukocyte Biology, showed that levels of vitamin D3 below 20 ng/ml led to a higher incidence of viral infections, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. This, of course, suggests that supplementing with vitamin D3 could help prevent or treat these conditions.
Low levels of vitamin D3 lead to higher production of antibodies...
What Allows Cancer Cells to Take Hold?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
There are two factors that determine when a disease can occur. Host defenses are critical but so is the pathogenicity of the infection or cancer.

Who Says There's no Money in Making Vaccines?
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
Vaccine manufacturers get billions of dollars in government contracts every year. In 2011 the top six vaccine makers received $5.7 billion from these contracts.

Why Belly Fat is not All Bad
submitted by: admin on 11/27/2013
When I was in medical school the omentum, that fatty membrane in the abdomen that covers the abdominal cavity and its organs, was believed to be no more than a repository for fat. Today researchers have discovered that it is a organ that regulates immune T cells and is a rich repository of stem cells that are necessary for organ repair and regeneration. It may...
Why Milk Can Cause Ulcerative Colitis
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Milk fats can initiate immune dysfunction that can lead to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Concentrated milk fat caused mice to develop IBD at three times the rate (60%) that mice fed a low fat diet or a diet with polyunsaturated fats. IBD correlated with the emergence of a bacteria called Bilophila wadsworthia from nearly undetectable levels to about 6% of...
