(NaturalNews) A new study out of Oxford University pinpoints vitamin D deficiency
as a culprit in serious illnesses like cancer and autoimmune disorders. According to the
report, which was recently published online in the journal Genome Research, genetic
receptors throughout the body need adequate vitamin D levels to prevent these and other
serious illnesses from developing.
Multiple sclerosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Chron's disease, leukemia -- these and
many more diseases are often caused by a lack of vitamin D. Your genes literally have receptors that need
vitamin D in order to properly express themselves. If there is not enough of the vitamin,
serious illness is prone to develop.
The Oxford team made specific observations about the importance of vitamin D in the genome
regions associated with autoimmune diseases and cancer, noting that the nutrient is
absolutely vital in helping to prevent these diseases from forming.
"Considerations of vitamin D supplementation as a preventative measure for these
diseases are strongly warranted," expressed Sreeram Ramagopalan, author of the study.
However, current recommendations for vitamin D intake are unacceptably low, and many
nations are considering updating their guidelines. The U.S. Institute of Medicine, for
example, recommends getting a mere 200 to 600 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day,
an amount far too low to have much therapeutic effect.
Since summer sun exposure creates about 20,000 IU of vitamin D in the skin in just 15
minutes, supplementation with at least 5,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily, particularly
during the winter, is preferable. Healthy blood
levels of vitamin D are somewhere between 50 and 80 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), so
many natural health professionals
recommend having a "25 OH Vitamin
D" blood test performed to check these levels. (Natural News,

The fact is that "political correctness" is all about creating uniformity. Individualism is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the New World Order. They want a public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it's told without asking questions.
