Vitamin D and survival

Hi,

Here is an interesting information.

I read that studies that showed 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 for some cancer.

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

As medicine and oncology are very complicated, You ABSOLUTELY have to ask your oncologist (or general practionioner if you don't have cancer).

Ask him about making 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 which other nutrients it is important to analyze before during and after the treatment. I read that certain are easier to analyze than other. Ans ask as soon as possible in order to take benefit of it as soon as possible. It would be a pity to wait.

It's also important to collaborate with a registered dietitian who knows well oncology. I read he has to collaborate with your oncologist(1)

As always I have to say that I am not an doctor and this os not a medical advise, just informations I read. Furthermore Information can have evolved since I posted my message

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. 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
