ERROR MESSAGE "VITAMIN D AND SURVIVAL" CALCIUM RISK HEART ATTACK

alain23

Hello

In my message “Vitamin D and survival” I wrote about Calcium that works together with vitamin D, I spoke about what happen in the body.

Not about calcium dietary supplement

I read studies that showed that certain doses of calcium supplementation could increase heart attack. Apparently calcium from the food seem to lead to no problems.

But as always ask your medical team (oncologist and reg dietitian) regarding how te get the correct amount of calcium (from food or from dietary supplement if needed - and ask which supplement is less dangerous) without danger for you.

Of course nothing is simple in medicine and it depends on your situation that’s why we have to ask.

Here is the original message (without the sentence regarding calcium)

Hi,

Here is an interesting information.

I read that cancer rate is lower among people who have an adequat amount of vitamin d in their body (also for people who has no cancer = prevention) . I also read it the relapse rate is lower.

But having a too high concentration of vitamin D in the body is not good either.

As always I have to say that I am not an specialist (only a chemist) and this os not a medical advise. You have to ask your oncologist (or general practionioner if you don't have cancer). It's also important to collaborate with a registered dietitian who knows well oncology and has to collaborate with your oncologist. If I insist with that it's because it's the best way to have the good amount of nutrients without problems.(1)

Ask them to make analysis of your vitamind D concentrations (in your body) and how to get a adequate amount. Before and after the treatment (on the long term going)

Also ask them how to get the adequate amount during the treatment without meeting problems. It's also important to make analysis of vitamin D llevels in your body during the treatment.

Also ask which other nutrients it is important to analyze before during and after the treatment. I read that certain are easier to analyze than other.

Have a nice evening

(1) Ask your oncologist to advise you a good registered dietitan that knows well oncology and insist because it can help regarding survival and quality of life. I also read that your oncologist and your reg dietitian have to collaborate together. It's important because studies showed that the collaboration with a registered dietitian (before, during, and after the treatment = all your life ) increased survival and quality of life. It's important to collaborate with the reg dietitian right after the diagnosis. For instance they can advise you with physical activity. I read studiesthat shows that phisical activity also increases survival and decreases cancer rate Ask your medical team (oncologist and registered dietitian) if you can practice phsical activity before, during and after the treatment, and if yes how and at which frequency and intensity I also read that if you stard to practice physical activity it's good to hav an medical examination before (for people with cancer or not) The name of this kind of specialist can vary from a country to another, that's why it's good to ask your oncologist the name of the most efficient kind of nutrition specialist for your situation
