Hi A.A.-

There is loads of research out there connecting Vit D deficiency to cancer. Both my Onc and my OBGYN both told me about this last year!!!

I agree that it will be interesting to see more studies and I believe that they will happen.

I live in So Cal and get plenty of sunshine-and one of the Onc nurses told me that everyone that is being tested for Vit D is deficient--and that is here in So Cal---

It has also been written that the recommended daily allowances, need to be reviewed and possibly revised-

It all boils down to each person the individual case, that is why I believe in monitoring and getting Vit D tested as part of a persons blood work up--I have told my non-cancer friends to get tested and several came back deficient!!!

My Onc is the one that recommended I increase to 7,500 IU after I was taking 4,000 IU and my numbers werent moving.

For me, I am still on 7,500 until I get it where it needs to be for a cancer patient that is the high side of the normal scale.

I rely on organic whole foods for my nutrition versus supplements, but where I am lacking based on my blood work, I will supplement--especially with what is believed to be the link between breast cancer and Vit D deficiency---

I think it all boils down to a persons choice!!!!
