It’s true – vitamin D kills cancer cells! Best of all, here is a medical report you can’t afford to ignore. Scientists have recently uncovered a so called experimental approach to treating inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), a rare and aggressive form of the disease.
The new approach uses the active form of vitamin D3, calcitriol, which is delivered by quantum dots to IBC tumors. Quantum dots are engineered, miniscule delivery vehicles which can maneuver directly to a tumor site.
New technology uses nature to destroy cancer cells
Our skin can actually manufacture enough levels of calcitriol (vitamin D) in as little as 15 minutes of sunlight per 24 hours.
What will hinder this process is sunscreen and how dark we are, the darker the pigmentation of the skin the more sunlight that is needed. Obesity, also curtails the circulation of vitamin D and age reduces the ability to manufacture vitamin D.
Vitamin D is found in foods, but the human body synthesizes most of this nutrient from sunlight. Since we now get so little in the way of unhindered sunlight, the new approach is to use Quantum dots and engineered light-emitting nanoscale delivery. The study shows that dots can be used to rapidly move high concentrations of calcitriol to targeted tumor sites where cancer cells are located.
