MS Vitamin D link Accepted

We already know that vitamin D deficiency is endemic in northern climates and linking MS to it is a gimme.  At least the statistics will work out nicely.  To prove the reality of the link is quite another matter altogether. 

I suspect that chronic vitamin D deficiency is a likely culprit for adult skin issues in which boils and acne play a large part. Yet efforts to apply vitamin D likely are simply under prescribed avoiding a proper resolution.

Just as ten grams of vitamin C at the least is indicated, it is plausible that a proper dose of vitamin D may well be in the several gram level in the early stage of treatment.

Doctors are not scientists and actually lack proper management of the patient so must under prescribe which at best postpones the problem.

Two scientists who applied the Vitamin C protocol ultimately used nearer to twenty grams per day.  

The take home is that you must decide to use the protocol and adjust the dosage upward in steps until you establish an reaction which will take place over many days.  I am not sure about negative reactions for vitamin D but checking that is simple and bringing it up to your tolerance level will properly ensure sufficient vitamin D to test the ability to improve the skin issues.

Obviously once sufficiency is established it seems likely that a reduced application will be sufficient to sustain the effect.  Again we lack a working formula or simple test regime.

Conventional medicine finally admits MS caused by vitamin D deficiency

(NaturalNews) Is it true that those who suffer from Multiple sclerosis (MS) just need a little sun? Researchers at the University of Oxford seem to think so. In 2006, a study by the Journal of the American Medical Association suggested higher levels of vitamin D might decrease overall risk of developing MS. Now researchers at the University of Oxford are backing that study with further evidence while also suggesting a link between lack of sunlight and how the body responds when faced with an infection. The research concludes that MS is caused by several factors working in combination but clearly correlates to a lack of vitamin D.

Is it really as simple as soaking up some rays?

While the phenomenon of vitamin D deficiency is seen all over the world, countries in the northern hemisphere have been linked to significantly higher rates of MS. Scotland, for example, has one of the largest populations of MS sufferers, while the disease is "virtually unknown" in Africa. Even in sunny areas of the globe, it's not uncommon for people to become vitamin D deficient during the winter, as the sun's rays aren't often high enough to penetrate atmospheric layers.

The research put forth by the University of Oxford suggests that, while those who already have MS may not benefit exponentially simply by increasing levels of vitamin D, getting more sun could be an effective preventative measure against developing the disease and managing symptoms.

More importantly, MS sufferers may be able to boost immunity to other conditions with an increase in vitamin D. A recent study by Anticancer Research affirms that typical adults need much more than the daily dosage recommended by the U.S. Government. According to that research, 4,000-8,000 IUs of vitamin D every day could not only help prevent MS but also several types of cancer and Type 1 diabetes.

The health care industry, of course, won't promote a natural and safe preventative measure for degenerative diseases. Instead, people are warned about the dangers of UV exposure and the risks of vitamin toxicity. With vitamin D deficiency afflicting 90% of the U.S.population, however, it may be time to get a tan. Here are some interesting facts about the relationship between vitamin D and health:

1. It's free. Five to thirty minutes of sunlight a couple of times a week is usually sufficient for helping the body create enough vitamin D

2. Getting enough vitamin D from food is virtually impossible

3. Sunscreens may block the body's ability to generate vitamin D

4. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium in the body

5. Those who live further from the equator generally require longer periods of sun exposure to generate enough vitamin D

6. A lack of vitamin D can affect bone strength. One theory suggests that women who are deficient in vitamin D can suffer from contracting pelvises, which can result in the death of babies during labor

7. Vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed quickly. It takes months for the body to increase and regulate vitamin D levels. This is why short periods of sun exposure are not only safe but also necessary for the synthesis of this important substance

For those with MS, increased sun exposure may be an easy and safe preventative measure against further cognitive and physical degeneration. As a direct threat to the medical establishment, however, it remains to be seen whether further government warnings and regulations about vitamin D will eventually ban people from sun bathing.
