Asthma - Vitamin D supplementation of 1,200 IU daily has been shown to lessen asthma attacks and reduce their severity.
Depression - Vitamin D deficiencies have been linked to depression and other psychiatric illnesses. Even a woman getting enough D during pregnancy has been shown to lessen the chances that her unborn child will develop mental illness later in life.
Heart disease - An article published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research (2) reports that cardiovascular disease is much more common in people deficient in vitamin D. Some children, according to the article, with severe heart failure have also responded well to vitamin D treatment.
High blood pressure - High blood pressure has been associated with deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, potassium and vitamin D.
Rheumatoid Arthritis - RA is a devastating disease that causes systemic inflammation, severe pain and joint damage. Studies have shown that vitamin D can ease the pain and stiffness associated with RA.
Multiple sclerosis - Studies have shown that geography matters when it comes to the odds of getting MS. The farther from the equator you live -- and the less sun exposure you get -- the more likely you are to develop the disease. This suggests a strong link between MS and vitamin D.
Cancer - Several different kinds of cancer have been linked to D deficiencies, including breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer. The causal link is so strong, in fact, that the Mayo Clinic (3) lists separate recommended dosing levels of the vitamin for both cancer prevention and prostate cancer treatment.
Periodontal disease - This inflammation of the gums can cause pain, bleeding and tooth loss. Vitamin D helps in the formation of defensins and cathelicidins which, in turn, can lower the number of harmful bacteria in the mouth.
Diabetes - An article from World's Healthiest Foods (4) lists poor blood-sugar control as a symptom of vitamin D deficiency. This, in turn, can increase the risk of developing diabetes.

I'd also like to add that Niacin has also been used to recover from depression.

You'll also want to supplement with high dosage of Vitamin C and Lysine. Those 2 together work hand and hand to keep your arteries clear.
It's called the Pauling Therapy after Linus Pauling and has been shown to work quite well at reversing and controlling Heart Disease.

High blood pressure - High blood pressure has been associated with deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, potassium and vitamin D.

Cayenne pepper has also been shown to reduce blood pressure. When I was stressed out at my last job my blood pressure was pretty high for someone my age. 163/92 I started taking Cayenne Pepper and it dropped it within normal range within a week. Work stress was still there, but my blood pressure was no longer up.


Cancer - Several different kinds of cancer have been linked to D deficiencies, including breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer. The causal link is so strong, in fact, that the Mayo Clinic (3) lists separate recommended dosing levels of the vitamin for both cancer prevention and prostate cancer treatment.

Eating less sugar and carbohydrates will also help you here.



Periodontal disease - This inflammation of the gums can cause pain, bleeding and tooth loss. Vitamin D helps in the formation of defensins and cathelicidins which, in turn, can lower the number of harmful bacteria in the mouth.

Eating saturated fat will also help. Dr. Weston Price discovered that a diet in high fat, low carbs teeth will repair themselves and so to will the gums.


Diabetes - An article from World's Healthiest Foods (4) lists poor blood-sugar control as a symptom of vitamin D deficiency. This, in turn, can increase the risk of developing diabetes.

This has more to do with diet than anything. Eating lots of carbohydrates and sugar the Pancreas will eventually experience B-cell (Beta cell) burnout and will not be able to keep up with the sugar spikes.

I'm by no means trying to understate how important Vitamin D3 is. Its extremely important, but isn't the only factor involved in staying healthy

A comment on this. My diet has been high fat and low carbs for awhile. The dentist today took x rays and commented on how my teeth were in such good shape, how no cavities show up, and healthy.

That being said, I had to have root canal today. A cracked tooth, that got infected. The last couple of days I have been in more pain that I have ever been in my whole life.

Don't know if diet, vitamins, etc played a part in that tooth. Perhaps just getting older, older things tend to break. Don't know.

Wear and tear man.... Wear and tear.. We can only do so much to keep our bodies as healthy as possible. But as we age, things wear out, muscles suffer atrophy, testosterone decreases, weight gain, hair loss. etc. Our bodies are machines with finite life spans. Just have to do what we can to take care of it.

I remember when I was in my early 20's what my uncle said to me as I was helping him build a addition on a house (He was a self employed contractor). He said how you treat your body when your young, is how your body will treat you when your old. That's stuck with me ever since..

I have a cracked molar and am hoping for the best. It is a bit sensitive to cold beer and I don't eat on that side in fear of busting the thing completely. I think the tooth will be fubar but hoping. I haven't found anything yet that can help. Suggestions listened to.

My suggestion would be dental insurance. My insurance covered 80% of the costs. I am grateful. The thing I learned, the hard way, is that a crack can become infected. When that happens, bring on the pain. Mine was like yours for a couple of months, sensitive, but I dealt with it.

The other suggestion would be to put a crown on the tooth before it gets that bad. A crown could keep the cracked tooth together. Talk to your dentist about it that.

Trust me, if the crack grows and gets infected, and it can happen quick, it will knock you on your ass. The pain, is quite intense, I've learned. It really has me thinking about cracked teeth, pain, and a shtf scenario.

Be well, and just a few thoughts.

EDIT: Another thought, is teeth are bones, so why doesn't a crack heal itself. Like a cracked rib. The dentist who did my root canal told me I probably had that crack for years.....before it blew up on me.

Get a crown put on it.

Great thread.

Vitamin D - take 4000mg a day or 5000 a day if you get no sun exposure at all

Get real sunshine every day in a judicious way of course. Dr. Lorraine Day cured herself of terminal breast cancer without chemo or surgery and sunshine is a definite part of her prescription. I posted her websites links here in the past.

I take Kyolic brand Formula 106 (circulation) capsules - 5 each day in the morning. My BP was getting a bit too high but after I started taking those daily about three years ago, my BP is perfectly normal. I have to take them with a milky type drink or smoothie to get them down in the morning and definitely do not take them with just water on an empty stomach. The cayenne in them will rip up your stomach. But these pills are a godsend to me. They are the equivalent of Strauss Heart Drops but are in capsule form. I just do not think I could do the drops way of taking this powerful combination of herbs.


Diet in your early adult years is very important and unfortuately I blew that. I used to eat TV Dinners and canned soups and chili for dinner in the evenings after work for many years. Now I have leaky gut syndrome and get bad hives every time I eat any kind of canned or processed foods. That is what forced me to gravitate to home cooked meats and fresh vegetables. All the convenience foods and fast food drive throughs will definitely take their toll on your health but it happens after several years that you start seeing the symptoms.

Also vaccinations - too many. They mess up your immune system and when that happens you go into what one doc has called "the inflammation zone." You start having many chronic itis conditions. So there are things you can do with diet and supplement to hold down inflammation so read up on that.

What it's really starting to look like to me is that we all have to go paleo diet a best we can as it takes care of a multitude of problems. Fresh organic non-gmo veggies and good quality no hormone grass fed meat cooked at home. Many say eliminate dairy but I find it very difficult to do that. I still eat butter and drink some milk now and then. Try to buy organic and raw whenever you can or at least organic pasteurized butter at Whole Foods. I am still researching that. I hate to go in Whole Foods because they are so incredibly expensive.

Buy some nice dry roasted almonds and make your own almond butter and put in some pink himalayan salt and some extra oil like walnut oil in the blender. Put this on apple slices. Good snack with some good protein and is natural.

Try to have some ready handy foods on hand at all times at home and at office and in car. This will keep you from going to vending machine or fast food place or grabbing something that is unhealthy. Bananas are good.

I have been drinking bottled unfluoridated water for several years but never bought a water filter. I get distilled water for about 63 cents a gallon at Walmart. That is the wisest most affordable way for me so far, but you have to make sure you are doing good mineral supplementation because distilled has no minerals in it.

Hope some of this info helps. I had to learn all this the hard way.

That's what I was thinking also. Your teeth can fix itself when it comes to cavities so why not a crack? While I look into this I just avoid that area with questionable and hard foods.
