Disease Prevention Chart

3 Comments

Overwhelming statistics have shown that most people who have serious diseases have Vitamin D deficiency, or were deficient in the past. Many studies have determined that Vitamin D may provide protection from illnesses ranging from the common cold to cancer.

Children’s diseases like autism, asthma, and juvenile diabetes have become pervasive in the years that we have been told to avoid the sun. Vitamin D deficiency has come to be suspected to have an association with these diseases in children.

The chart prepared by Cedric Garland Ph.D. and Carole Baggerly of the Grassroots Heath shows a summary of what the statistical studies have shown for the possibility of higher levels to reduce disease. There is one typographical error on this chart which is the reduction for breast cancer is 50% not 83% as written on the chart.

Legend:

All percentages reference a common baseline of 25 ng/ml as shown on the chart.

  • %’s reflect the disease prevention % at the beginning and ending of available data. Example: Breast cancer incidence is reduced by 30% when the serum level is 34 ng/ml vs the baseline of 25 ng/ml. There is an 83% reduction in incidence when the serum level is 50 ng/ml vs the baseline of 25 ng/ml.
  • The x’s in the bars indicate ‘reasonable extrapolations’ from the data but are beyond existing data.

    Thank You! I listened to the interview on Hay House Radio this morning and found it fascinating! My intention is to learn as much as possible about vitamin D and the benefits it can play in my life. The information provided on the show was amazing and certainly resonated with my anecdotal beliefs about vitamin D and sunshine! I can’t wait to learn more!

    I am being treated for arteriosclerosis with EDTA IV. I was determined to have Vit d shortage and have been taking 50K D350 weekly also. I am much improved. I read in Dr William davis’s Trackyourplaque that they discovered that adding Vit d has made a tremendous improvement in their calcium measurments. his full study has yet to be published, but I think that all heart patients should be put on vit d in the right dose.
    thanks for all your work
    Jim
