Losing your mind: Is Alzheimer’s disease in your future or your parents’ future? Can sunlight and vitamin D help it?

Tight Fit!

I have previously posted regarding the effect of vitamin D on cognitive disability, autism and other brain disorders. With all of these disorders, there is a clear correlation between sunlight and/or vitamin D deficiency and decreased brain function.

Considering that most elderly people are severely vitamin D deficient and that there are vitamin D receptors throughout the brain, it would not be surprising to also find the same correlation with Alzheimer’s, which IS a brain disease. An excellent paper by Dr Fredrick Dyer[1] makes a case that Alzheimer’s is, at least in part, a vitamin D-deficiency disease.

Dr Dyer makes the point that many diseases or disorders—those that are well-established as correlating to vitamin D deficiency—are themselves risk factors for Alzheimer’s.

These include depression, osteoporosis, diabetes, poor cognitive abilities, periodontal disease, inflammation, tooth loss, low cognitive performance, poor strength, depression, congestive heart failure, peripheral artery disease, hypertension and arterial plaque.

In other words, Alzheimer’s shows a “co-morbidity” with these disorders, meaning that they may have the same underlying causes.

Lack of sunlight/vitamin D is likely one of those causes.

Until we know for sure, it is certainly a great idea to maintain high levels of vitamin D in ourselves and in our aging parents; there is no downside, and it may prevent us from losing our minds.

Another excellent paper on vitamin D and Alzheimer’s will be published soon;

I will keep you posted.

Hollywood…Law and Order…SVU on sunlight, vitamin D deficiency and the Sunscreen Scare.

This video was sent to me from Canada, who has a Vitamin D awareness month every year in November.
The video talks about a girl being out of the sun for many years and her associated vitamin D deficiency because of it.
They also mention the Sunscreen industry and the Sun Scare campaigns that has made a generation of people
who have vitamin D deficiencies. They finally got it right!

Watch video on photobucket.

Sunlight, vitamin D, sunscreens and drama: is Hollywood (or TV drama) beginning to pay attention?

A friend just told me about watching an episode of Law and Order, Special Victims Unit.

The storyline involved a woman who had been locked up for four years, and one of the characters in plot mentioned that the victim of this heinous crime was terribly deficient in vitamin D.

Amazingly, he went on to say that a whole generation is now vitamin D deficient due to applying sunscreens when venturing outdoors.

Hallelujah!

Is the media starting to wake up to one of the most atrocious crimes of all—vitamin D deficiency brought on by the advice of the American Academy of Dermatology and other “professionals” who insist that we never go outside without “protection?”

I hope so. The media are a powerful force for either good or evil in society, and it appears that at least this one time, they got it right.
