Healing power D

As the sun vitamin against cancer, heart attack and other diseases of civilization protects - and why we live in voluntary lack of it.

New scientific studies are published every day that show how much vitamin D can. It is one of the keys to our health! It protects the heart and vessels, it prevents and fights cancer, helps us against diabetes, infectious and autoimmune diseases, brain and muscle to protect. Millions have spent their lives in sunlight people. But our lives will take place indoors. The terrible news is: Almost the entire population is chronically undersupplied, thus increasing their risk dramatically for virtually all diseases of civilization.

The sun vitamin does indeed lead a shadowy existence, and which we have inflicted on our modern lifestyle itself.

My comment

A book, as I expect from Dr. Nicolai Worm: researched extensively engages Worm one health relevant subject intelligible to. With its vitamin D - hypothesis he shows from the scientific mainstream ways to better health care by simple means to: Sun in the lighter half and supplementation with vitamin D in the other half can do amazing things.

The foreword

But let us leave but Dr. Worm himself to speak. In the preface to the book he writes:

It is exactly ten years since I wrote a book on the subject of diet and lifestyle and lifestyle diseases. My publisher called it then "Syndrome X or A mammoth on the plate!". Although the title was not my favorite, but it happens to be an author. »Mammut instead Müesli" I would have liked better. Anyway, I wrote at the time for this book a chapter - that meant and still does not say "Wait until it's dark."

In it, I wrote at the end summary: "... research into the vitamin D hypothesis as fascinating as it may be, is still in its infancy. Until we know more concrete, but we should ever considered worry whether it can be very healthy if we sit all day in the office bunkers to the evening after work to take the lift to the underground garage and in a closed, air-conditioned car with Polaroid slices the garage of a home or the fitness club to drive where we either go jogging in the dark three laps around the block or in glaring neon trot on the treadmill. Movement is well known to be beneficial to health - but perhaps you should not wait until it's dark. "

In 2009 the study of vitamin D thesis lies no longer in its infancy. Today we know much more, and we can intervene much safer preventive and therapeutic. The issue has become in recent years in scientific journalism at an astonishing rate in the foreground. The numerous health benefits by sufficient sunlight and adequate vitamin D intake are now documented at a high level. In Germany especially the lecturer Dr. Stephan Scharla from Bad Reichenhall and Dr. Armin Zittermann from Bad Oeynhausen who rendered outstanding services for a long time. More recently it was also Prof. Winfried in March from Heidelberg and his colleagues at the University of Graz in Austria Doktores Stefan Pilz and Harald Dobnig. In Switzerland, especially Professor Bischoff-Ferrari has brought in Zurich in recent years with your research the issue forward.

Plants without light go a - People too! This is - in brief - the summary of science. anyone knew that the importance of vitamin D would be only in the prevention and treatment of bone diseases and tuberculosis, so we now know that it can act as the much more. In recent years, Revolutionary did. As Professor Michael Holick of Boston ago 20 years discovered that vitamin D is not only in the bone and the tubercle bacillus kills, but also throughout the body in muscle and nerve tissue in the blood vessel walls and in immune cells specific sites of action of vitamin D exist, was one very carefully. Since then, to move on step by step.

In the last three years, the scientific data are soared. There are hundreds of new works published. As I write this book here, comes almost daily added another publication. More and more preventive medicine and therapeutically effective recommendations for vitamin D intake can protect themselves now. In the following chapters, I have summarized the current understanding. I hope that I have succeeded, to package them in a language that is understandable to laymen. At this point I would like to thank Dr. Imke Reese, Dr. Klaus Peeck and Ulrich Nigge for critically reading my manuscript and many valuable comments especially.

When it comes to vitamin D it comes to virtually all diseases of civilization. From the insufficient supply nearly everyone is affected. The awareness among the population so far so good as not available. As health politicians and opinion this lack care epidemic proportions in the population hitherto sleepy obviously in terms of nutritional science, I want to convey the new findings with this book to a wide audience, and seek ways to personal prevention or treatment.

As far as Dr. Nicolai Worm introduction in his book "Healing Power D - As the sun vitamin against heart attacks, cancer and other diseases protects". Thank to be allowed to play for the publisher's permission the foreword here.

postscript

Finally, a little criticism should be directed at the publisher: Yellow footnotes on white paper are not exactly readable, even if the association chain yellow> sun> vitamin D is well meant. And to the layouters: At some point you will get older and your eyes weaker.
