Vit D, Cancer, Autoimmune Disease, and Glutathione

Friday, August 27th, 2010

In Reuters there was a report of Vitamin D being linked to cancer and autoimmune disease genes.

The article reported that scientist found that vitamin D influenced over 200 genes.

Of course there is a correlation between low vitamin D levels and various diseases. Vitamin D is in reality a steroid that is produced when our skin is exposed to sunlight.

What if vitamin D is only part of the picture?

As it is, vitamin D is a precursor and possibly a potentiator of glutathione. Whether it works on its own or with glutathione, the underlying fact is that glutathione is associated with helping 69 different diseases or conditions.

Most likely, we need a balance of various vitamins and exposure to fresh air and sunshine.

This is only one of the pieces of the puzzle we call good health.
