Video proof of Vitamin D attacking and killing a cancer cell @ 4:48.[/quote]
We know this how? What kind of cancer? What’s the mechanism of action here?
I wasn’t favorably impressed by the report. There are two people who do most of the talking. One is a physician whose specialty is psychiatry, but, in reality, apparently believes that he’s an all around medical expert, including cancer research. The other is a self-proclaimed health writer who has his own line of “natural health” books; I’ll exercise some political correctness and restraint, and say only that sick people shouldn’t listen to this guy.
Both were making broad-based claims that were either distorted or downright false. There is nothing in the literature supporting their claims, on either a basic science or clinical application level. The sensational “success” of Vitamin D they, and others, have broadcast is, in reality, based on epidemiological studies. Correlation does not equal causation.
As for the video itself, I could find no corresponding lab studies that provided details of what was taking place on film, or that it was what the CBN reporter claimed. This included a search at Wake Forest University (the label on the film).
Can someone – anyone! – tell me why people are so willing to bash legitimate scientists, but will not even consider questioning what these quacks say? While science has the occasional nut job or criminal pop up, just like any career field, the majority are extremely well-educated, highly disciplined, hard-working, and concerned about their fellow man. What the hell is wrong with Americans who feel free to ridicule their accomplishments, question their motivation, and accuse them of criminal acts in the complete absence of evidence?
Sorry, but this video isn’t proof of anything as far as I can tell. I hope that you never become seriously ill, but should that happen, do yourself a favor and avoid guys like this like the plague. Because that’s what they’re doing: creating a plague of superstition and ignorance.
