'Modern medicine has a lot to answer for, not the least of which is the harm done by treating sunlight as dangerous. The heart disease and diabetes epidemics can be laid at their feet for that travesty alone.'
'A new study adds to the litany of research demonstrating the enormous benefits of Vitamin D3, and by extension, sunlight. The latest, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, documents that Vitamin D3 is a critical factor in diabetic heart disease1.
The inflammatory process is damaged in diabetes. Among other things, it causes monocytes, a type of white blood cell, to adhere to blood vessel walls. When diabetic patients’ blood levels of Vitamin D3 [25(OH)D] are under 30 ng/mg, monocytes were far more likely to adhere. When patients with diabetes maintained a Vitamin D3 level greater than 30 nanograms per milliliter, far fewer monocytes adhere. Thus, the clogging of arteries, which is associated with heart disease, is much improved when diabetic patients have adequate levels of Vitamin D3'.
