The Establishment Failed Pel é And Kristie
I was saddened to hear that soccer legend Pelé and “Cheers” star Kirstie Alley both died of colon cancer late last year.
But the wider part of this tragedy is that this kind of cancer is highly preventable and still poorly understood by most doctors.
Mainstream physicians – as well as the media – will tell you your age causes colon cancer, the genes you inherited from your family, and a high-fat diet.
They couldn’t be more wrong.
Colorectal cancer has nothing to do with age and very little to do with your genes…
Instead, it has everything to do with epigenetics.
This is the important relationship between o...

The Importance of Vitamin D in Long-Term Care Residents
Vitamin D, a group of fat-soluble steroid hormones, is considered an essential vitamin for humans, particularly D3 (cholecalciferol), which is obtained from some animal-based products and ultraviolet light, and D2 (ergocalciferol), which is obtained from certain plants. Having adequate stores of vitamin D is necessary for calcium, magnesium, and phosphate absorption. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a variety of diseases and impact our overall immune system. Vitamin D deficiency is often related to diet and lack of exposure to sunlight. (Source: Caring for the Ages)

COVID-19 rapid evidence summary: vitamin D for COVID-19 [ES28], NICE (published 29th June 2020)
Vitamin D is important for bone and muscle health. It has also been hypothesised that vitamin D may have a role in the body ' s immune response to respiratory viruses. Although sunlight exposure is the major source of vitamin D for most people, it can also be obtained from the diet or supplements. The 2 major forms of vitamin D, vitamin D3 (colecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), are licensed for the prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D supplements are not specifically licensed for preventing or treating any infection, including the novel coronavirus infection that causes COVID ‑19. (Sourc...

Ultraviolet Light Treats Influenza?
The healing power of ultraviolet light (UV) has flown under the radar for decades. Yet, it’s one of the most powerful detoxifying agents known to man. It kills bacteria and viruses and can be used in a clinical setting.
The therapeutic benefits of light have been known for millennia. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, believed light was essential to balance the body and emotions.
And there is good reason why, during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, medics discovered that severely ill patients had hugely better recovery rates when they were nursed outside and had regular exposure to sunlight.1
You see, UV r...

Low testosterone linked to this deficiency …
Without the sun, none of us would be here. After all, we evolved to live under the sun.
But many of us are trained to believe the sun is your deadly enemy.
Every day doctors warn you to stay out of the sun. And if you do go out, they want you to slather your skin with toxic sunscreen.
Their 30-year-old campaign has been very successful. So successful, that people today are extremely deficient in vitamin D. In fact, a new clinical review shows that nearly a billion people across the globe are vitamin D deficient.1
And low vitamin D is a surefire path to chronic disease, early death — and low testosterone.
