Vitamin Facts:

1. Slash Cancer Odds: Taking 200 micrograms of selenium daily for four and a half years cut cancer rates by 42 percent and cancer deaths in half in a group of 1300 individuals. The incidence of colorectal cancer dropped 64 percent and prostate cancer an amazing 69 percent! -University of Arizona.

2. Prevent Alzheimer's: Not a single older person who took separate doses of vitamin E (200-800 IU) or vitamin C (500-1000 mg) developed Alzheimer's disease during a four-year double-blind study. Subjects who took multivitamin supplements with low doses of vitamin E (typically 30 IU) or vitamin C (60mg) had no reduction in risk of Alzheimer's. -Chicago's Rush Institute for Healthy Aging.

3. Boost Immune System: Taking 200 IU of natural vitamin E daily boosted immune functioning in older people. A supplement with only 60 mg vitamin E daily did not improve immune functioning. Obviously, superior immune functioning lessens infections, possibly cancer and heart disease. -Tufts University.

4. Stop Heart Attacks: A daily dose of 400-800 IU of natural vitamin E cut subsequent heart attacks in men with heart problems by an astonishing 77 percent. Other research shows it takes 400 IU of vitamin E to squelch toxicity (oxidation) of LDL cholesterol. -Cambridge University, England.

5. Stop Strokes: High doses of B vitamins decreased the amount of plaque in carotid (neck) arteries by 10 percent during a four-year study. Blocked carotid arteries can cause strokes. Plaque increased by 50 percent in nonvitamin B takers. Doses: 250mcg B-12, 25mg B-6 and 2500mcg folic acid. Note: 800mcg folic acid is effective for most people, said the researchers. -University of Toronto.

6. Prevent Fractures: Taking 500mg of calcium and 700 IU of vitamin D daily for three years significantly cut the rate of bone loss and nonvertebral fractures in men and women older than age 65. -Tufts University.

7. Save Vision: Women taking vitamin C supplements cut their risk of cataracts by 77 percent. In patients with early macular degeneration, taking daily doses of 500mg vitamin C, 400 IU of vitamin E, 80mg zinc, 2mg copper and 15mg of beta carotene for 11 years slowed progression to the advanced stage of loss of vision. -Tufts University and the National Institutes of Health

8. Prolong Life: Taking vitamin E and vitamin C (in higher doses than in a multivitamin) cut chances of death from all causes by 42 percent. Vitamin E users were 47 percent less apt to die of heart disease and 59 percent less likely to die of cancer. - National Institute on Aging.


In short, there is no such thing as a superfluous nutrient! I recommend my patients take a good optimal daily allowance multivitamin/mineral formula.

Vitamin C, B1 and Hydrocortisone Dramatically Reduce Mortality From Sepsis​

Story at a glance:

• Sepsis is caused by an aggressive, out-of-control immune response to an infection in the bloodstream. Each year, an estimated 1 million Americans get sepsis and up to half of them die
• Giving patients IV vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine (vitamin B1) for two days reduced mortality nearly five-fold, from 40% to 8.5%
• Lab testing shows that while neither vitamin C or hydrocortisone alone can prevent cell death following exposure to toxins produced by bacteria, when given in combination, the concoction does protect the cells

Vitamin C Doubles Effectiveness of Chemotherapy and Radiation​

Story at a glance:

• Vitamin C is selectively toxic to cancer cells, especially when administered intravenously (IV) or in liposomal form in high doses. Administering it with chemo and radiation also significantly improves the effectiveness of these treatments
• Vitamin C in combination with nutritional ketosis and fasting prior to administering chemo radically improves the effectiveness of chemotherapy
• For general health, an important but often overlooked aspect of nutritional ketosis is “feast and famine cycling.” The real magic happens during the refeeding phase, so one or two days a week, increase your carb and protein intake, and then cycle back into nutritional ketosis again

How B Vitamins Improve Brain Health, Cognition, Psychiatric Problems and Mood Disorders​

Story at a glance:

• Research suggests vitamins B6, B8 and B12 significantly reduce symptoms associated with schizophrenia — more so than standard drug treatments alone. High dose niacin (B3) is another effective treatment
• Other B vitamin deficiencies can also produce symptoms of psychiatric disorders and mood disorders, and can play a role in cognitive decline and dementia
• Vitamins B6, B9 (folate/folic acid) and B12 may help prevent cognitive decline and more serious dementia such as Alzheimer's disease

Sepsis deaths up by 50% in Sweden

I heard a puzzling/surprising info about people dying of sepsis in Sweden, have suddenly increased by a whopping 50%. I am not sure where i heard it, but most likely from the Swedish alternative media called "Swebb.tv"

Vitamin B3 Boosts Muscle Mass, Improves Glucose Control​

Story at a glance:

• Getting enough vitamin B3 could help maintain muscle mass and strength as you age, while also helping control body fat and blood sugar levels
• A study found consuming more niacin was linked to stronger hand grip, increased muscle mass and higher bone mineral content
• People with higher niacin intake also had less body fat and a lower risk of losing muscle mass as they age
• Niacin also helped with blood sugar control, showing benefits in reducing insulin resistance and keeping fasting blood sugar and insulin levels in check, especially in people without diabetes
• For optimal health, I recommend taking 50 milligrams of niacinamide — one form of vitamin B3 — three times per day
