The Truth About Vitamin D: Fourteen Reasons Why Misunderstanding

[Guest guest]

One thing that seems to be proving out is that D3 definitely stops colds

in their tracks. I have seen this occur several times this year with me

and other members of my family. The protocol is: a daily supplement of

5,000 iu and when the first signs come, increase it to 15,000 followed

by 10,00 iu every two hours up to a total intake of 50,000 iu maximum

per day.

 

Since this protocol undoubtedly works: If Dr. Marshall considers a cold

to be a (chronic) disease, then I can say, without reservation that in

this case, the disease does not cause the deficiency and even taking a

lot of it it does not make that disease worse.. In fact, D3 apparently

cures a cold or at least it keeps the cold from progressing into a full

blown case.

 

Finally, if a cold is not a chronic disease, as it well may not be,

what separates it from chronic diseases in terms of how it is cured or

avoided? Why does he qualify his statement with " many chronic

diseases " rather than all?

 

Personally, I would say, knowing the little that I do of Vit D3, that

while Dr. Marshall certainly proves himself to be an independent

thinker, he is independently incorrect in these conclusions.

 

 

>In reading his two articles, Dr. Marshall's main hypotheses are simple:

 

* Vitamin D from sunlight is different than vitamin D from supplements.

* Vitamin D is immunosuppressive and the low blood levels of

vitamin D found in many chronic diseases are the result of the disease

and not the cause.

* Taking vitamin D will harm you, that is, vitamin D will make

many diseases worse, not better.<
