So, what do breast cancer, prostate cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, cervical cancer, and pancreatic cancer all have in common? Lack of sun exposure!
Multiple studies have shown the incidence of these conditions occur during months with little sunshine, and latitudes where there’s reduced sun exposure. Even skin cancer, which many slather up with sun screen to avoid, can be related to reduced levels of vitamin D and it’s helper, vitamin F.
Knowing how important vitamin D is for protection from so many cancers and damaging conditions, it can be dangerous without the rest of the story, so keep reading.
Vitamin D in it’s activated form is responsible for the uptake of calcium into circulation. UV-B rays from the sun converts cholesterol in the skin into cholecalciferol. This is the parent form of vitamin D. This is converted in the liver into calcidiol, which is in turn converted into calcitriol in the kidneys. This is the active form of vitamin D, and ounce for ounce is the most powerful chemical substance in our bodies.
This form of vitamin D is responsible for maintaining the one percent of your bodies calcium which is available in the blood. If this calcium is unable to enter the cellular structure, overuse of vitamin D can actually do harm. This is where the medical establishment says you can get too much vitamin D.
So, how do we protect ourselves if we get too much vitamin D? This is where the need for the polyunsaturated fatty acids are critical. Dr Royal Lee back in the 30’s described what we call vitamin F, which is responsible for delivery of ionized calcium into the cellular structure. Just as too little vitamin D can create damage, too little vitamin F is equally damaging, as without it too much vitamin D from either supplementation or from extreme sun exposure can pull the calcium out of the tissues.
I’ve relied on Cataplex F now for many years to deal with toxic sun exposure, often seen as rashes and hives from being out in the sun, as well as for issues like prostatic hypertrophy and prostate cancer often seen in areas of increased sun exposure, where the consumption of these polyunsaturated fats are either not consumed or not absorbed.
If the blood loads up with calcium from sun exposure or over consumption of vitamin D and there’s no vitamin F to deliver it into the tissues, blood can become thick, elevating blood pressure. Tissue calcium deficiency can result in muscle cramps and spasms, narrowing blood vessels.
In areas with increased sun exposure and deficiencies of vitamin F, there’s greater incidence of HPV virus issues and cervical cancer. Just as vitamin D deficiencies can lead to this, low levels of vitamin F can be just as big an issue.
Another issue seen with low vitamin F is that of flare ups of herpes viruses. Shingles can often occur more during the summer months when vitamin F is lacking and sun exposure increases vitamin D levels. Cold sores are also increased in these times.
I’ve referred to the immune triad in the past, which is ionizable calcium (calcium lactate), Cataplex F, and vitamin C. These are critical in fighting any infection in the body. Although critical, if we fail to pick up calcium into the blood with vitamin D, all is for naught.
When I see highly elevated serum calcium on a blood test, I have to determine the source. If the person is deficient in vitamin D to absorb the calcium from the gut, the parathyroid glands can secrete parathormone, which increases the uptake of calcium from the bones in order to keep systems of the body running like the heart. When this happens, the 99% of your calcium supply in the bones is tapped in order to live.
This condition of elevated parathormone will eventually lead to osteoporosis unless adequate levels of vitamin D is consumed. Just as plants photosynthesize, mammals use the sun to irradiate the cholesterol in our skin to make vitamin D. Animals have fur which protects them from the rays of the sun, and the fur has cholesterol in it that is converted to vitamin D. When the animal licks it’s fur, it’s orally getting the cholecalciferol from the fur and then converts it in the liver and kidneys.
Often times, lower body pain and fibromyalgia are a byproduct of vitamin D deficiency. The muscle pain experienced by those on cholesterol blocking drugs can be due to interfering with the transmission of cholesterol to the tissues or due to the damaging of the liver’s ability to convert the cholecalciferol into calcidiol.
Depression during the dark days of winter can be greatly due to reduction of vitamin D. For this, I fully rely on the cod liver oil from Standard Process which has not been pasteurized, as those cod liver oils have no vitamin D, or are fortified with synthetic vitamin D. https://drjohnabriggs.com
