Hi Ted
I note that you asked if the vit d message is getting through in the UK. I can only report my own experience of being treated at a major British oncology centre. The resounding answer is NO. Another difficulty is getting vit d levels checked here as most oncologists don't see any benefit.
Do you reside in England?
I found your posts and RB's post very interesting. I think you are right about synergistic action, after all our bodies are eco-systems. It amazes me that oncs are not generally more enthusiastic as they are convined about synergy between drugs but not natural substances( though a number of drugs originate from plant sources originally.)
