Vitamin D, a Super Nutrient???Dr. Julian Whittaker thinks so…
Vitamin D- a “SUPER NUTRIENT” ????
Julian Whitaker, M.D., who is the world renowned founder of The Whittaker Wellness Institute, America’s largest alternative medical clinic located in Newport Beach, California, is firmly convinced of the benefits of vitamin D. He says:
“If vitamin D were a drug, conventional physicians would be all over it…Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased risk of cancer, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and obesity in people of all ages. In older people, deficiencies of this vitamin are also linked with weakness, increased likelihood of developing macular degeneration, and a 2.5 times greater risk of death.
Supplemental vitamin D reduces risk of cancer of the breast, colon, lungs, and blood in older women by nearly 60 percent. It improves both mood and balance in older people. Vitamin D reduces symptoms in patients with autoimmune disorders, and just one dose significantly enhances immunity in people exposed to tuberculosis. The benefits of vitamin D include decreasing bone loss in the elderly and increasing bone mineral density in those younger than age 70. Oral supplements relieve pain of osteomalacia, which is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, and when applied topically, it’s a good treatment for psoriasis.”
The benefits of vitamin D are so far reaching that researchers are calling it a “super nutrient,” one of the most important nutrients of alternative medicine in fighting off disease. It is essential to alternative health. The benefits of Vitamin D may include reducing the risk of a variety of health problems, including some cancers and autoimmune diseases, Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other health problems mentioned in this article.
In his website he wrote:
Vitamin D helps our immune system:
I can’t think of anything that benefits your entire body more than a strong, resilient immune system. It’s critical for good health. Give yourself a strong immune system through rest, hydration, and proven immune-stimulators like Echinacea.
Far and away, my top immune health recommendation is Vitamin D. I simply can’t say enough about how crucial this nutrient is to every aspect of your health-particularly during the winter, when it’s almost impossible to get enough sun exposure to make the vitamin D your body needs.
Vitamin D is good for back health
Vitamin D, which is even more critical for proper back health than previously thought. One preliminary study suggests that 83 percent of subjects with low back pain were deficient in vitamin D! Vitamin D also plays a key role in healthy bone formation helping in the absorption of calcium—essential for a healthy back.
I highly recommend to all the visitors of this website to subscribe to his monthly health newsletter, which is so informative and full of resources that will help one achieve or maintain wellness without having to use prescription medications that tend to help takers one way but also have the potential to harm them in one or various way/s.
