Vitamin D: A Steroid Hormone
If all the people in America had the right amount of vitamin D (25 OH D, optimal results measured in a blood test are about 60 ng/ml, or 150 nmol/l), healthcase costs would be slashed by 30%. In studies, vitamin D supplements reduced breast cancer by 50% to 70%, prostate cancer by 50% and colon cancer by 50%.
Vitamin D is a hormone because it is made inside our body where it regulates 2,000 genes. It does a lot more than we think. It is a steroid hormone because it is made from cholesterol. All steroid hormones in our body are made from cholesterol. We can look at the derivation of the word itself: chole-sterol. Sterol, meaning steroid.
In Canada, a study on seasonal variations of vitamin D and cholesterol found that during the winter, when vitamin D levels are lowest, cholesterol levels simutaneously peak at their highest. It's interesting to see the how the body reacts to low steroid hormone levels (vitamin D) by increasing the level of building blocks (cholesterol), and elevating its levels in...
High Blood Pressure & Hypertension
Five to ten percent of hypertension patients have a secondary cause, such as chronic renal disease, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism. For the other 90%, the cause is what you EAT that keeps insulin high, leading to inflammation in your blood vessels. It can be measured by a blood test called CRP (C-Reactive Protein). Normal levels are under 3, the ideal under 1. The inflammation restrains the glycocalyx and endothelium (the thin cell layers inside your blood vessels) from making enough nitric oxide and not enough nitric oxide can lead to hypertension. If we understand how blood pressure is maintained normally, we will understand why it becomes too high.
Normal blood pressure is 120/80. This means 120 at the peak when the heart contracts and 80 at the lowest just before the heart contracts again.
Some patients have what we call "white-coat hypertension." This means they have high readings only when someone measures their blood pressure. When an automatic machine takes the blood pressure over 24 hours, called NAPA, or automatically every 5 minutes for 6 times, called BT TRUE, their readings are normal. This is because of anxiety when having their bood pressure taken by a medical professional.
Blood pressure varies all the time, and this is for good reason. It's the pressure that makes...
Women & Breast Cancer
There are a lot of studies on breast cancer prevention, but those studies are not revealed to the public. For prevention, the public is told to stay thin and avoid alcohol. But there is a lot more that is known about prevention and treatment.
Some factors that will help reduce the incidence of breast cancer are:
Vitamin D3 in dosage of 2000-5000 international units per day reduced breast cancer occurence by 50%, and in one study up to 83%.
Selenium and Zinc deficiency increases breast cancer risks. So, supplements of selenium (100 mcg/day) and zinc (20mg/day), will reduce breast cancer risk for those who are deficient.
DHEA (DehydroEpiAndrosterone), and adrenal hormone, is known to protect women from having breast cancer and reduce metastasis (spreading). DHEA can be measured in your blood, and every woman, if low, can have her DHEA optimized with supplements...
