A study has shown that Vitamin D significantly increases levels of intracellular glutathione. The hormone glutathione in turn helps to remove mercury from the body.
Furthermore, Vitamin D assists in inducing giloma cell death, which could makes it of possible use for the management of brain tumours. To elaborate on this point, when healthy cells divide one cell will mature and die, whilst the “daughter” cell will continue to grow maintaining a balance. Cancer cells do not mature like ordinary cells do, so whey they divide both resultant cells continue to grow and divide again (hence no cell death leading to tumour growth). At first glance, assisting cell death may not sound good, but in the context of cancer cells it is a very good thing.
A key principle of the Dr Clark anti cancer protocol is the removal of all heavy metals (especially mercury) from the body and has used Vitamin D for many years. Dr Budwig’s anti cancer diet, whilst emphasising on use of healthy oils to maintain cellular health is based on allowing the cancer cells to divide and fully mature so as to allow them to die naturally (whereas other cancer therapies are based on preventing cell division).
Vitamin D is not very readily available in out diet, with fish liver being the only significant source. The main source of Vitamin D is UV sun-light direct on our skin. It is ironic then that over the last couple of decades, too much sun-light has been associated with causing cancer and the suntan lotion industry has thrived. Being 46 myself, we hardly bothered with it as children, whereas parents today are very cautious with their children when the sun comes out. It has been suggested that the official guidlines on exposure to sun-light (and blocking it out with lotions) are almost certain to be revised as research into Vitamin D continues. In the meantime, I think the key word has to be the much used advice by wise people the World over and that is: “moderation”.

Incidentally both Dr Clark and Dr Budwig recommended getting as much sun-light as reasonably possible (obviously without burning yourself).
Other research into Vitamin D has found that it can prevent or treat infections & inflammation, depression & neurological disorders, colds and flu, diabetes, osteoporosis, tuberculosis and much more.
