Smoking Gun

Many of you know that they are finding many cancers are virus based, but many do not know that sunshine boosts your immune system by producing vitamin D. Vitamin D boosts your immune killer cells that kill the virus before the virus can cause cancer. Did you ever think of asking how has vitamin D changed over the years?

The answer comes in a telling question…

When was sunscreen invented and popularized? It was first invented in 1944 and popularized in the mid 1960’s. Does any more need be said than the below graph depicting the growth of lung cancer;

Keep in mind the number of people smoking decreased over these years but lung cancer continued to sky rocket.

And what does vitamin D do for the lungs?

(Vitamin D) Perhaps most importantly, it dramatically stimulates the expression of potent anti-microbial peptides, which exist in neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer cells, and in epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract where they play a major role in protecting the lung from infection.

Some will say it is all anecdotal, but all the data points in the same direction.

Check out the Inuit of the far north. They are in the midst of a vitamin D crisis of autimmune diseases. Why? Most all their vitamin D came from their traditional diet of seal, char (trout) and whale blubber, but they are changing to a westernized diet and moving away from their traditional diet.

Canadian Inuit at greatest risk of lung cancer: study
Last Updated: Monday, December 8, 2008 11:07 AM ET

Inuit in Canada's North have the highest rate of lung cancer in the world, a finding blamed largely on the popularity of cigarettes in the region, says a Canadian study.

Are you thinking yet?

Since the sun is never at the proper zenith to allow enough UVB light to hit the skin of the Inuit they relied solely on their diet for all their vitamin D needs. Animal fats and liver, particulary whale blubber is very rich in vitamin D. When the Inuit changed their diet they changed their immune system. Now autoimmune diesease is running rampage in the northern peoples.

Do you think it is simply cigarettes?

Are you willing to swallow simple spin?
