It appears that Vitamin D supplementation may reduce cancer incidence and relapse.  This has been reported for a while now, but it may be doubtful that people have heard it because there appears to be a lot more emphasis on treatments for cancer than there is for its prevention.  The treatments are hyped up and marketed fiercely, but the prevention is not as glamorous.  This seems to be a direct result of the ‘magic pill’ archetype that has been pushed for many years.

I guess that it seems much easier to just take a pill and be done with it, rather than change unhealthy habits that lead to disease.  The unfortunate part is that there is no such thing as a magic pill that will erase unhealthy habits that destroy good health.  All drugs have side effects, and prolonged use of drugs increases the probability that the side effects will have negative impact on the patient.

Studies have shown that Vitamin D levels in average people are lower than they need to be for optimum health.  Low levels of Vitamin D are also associate with a number of diseases.  So it is a good idea to supplement your Vitamin D, but it is also a very good idea to have your Vitamin D levels measured so that you know how much supplementation is needed.  Vitamin D supplementation may be a way to significantly lower your chances of coming down with cancer.  The video below is approximately 30 minutes, but has some great information.
