Vitamin D may fight Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis


Hey Everyone


I had a post a few months ago talking about Vitamin D (Click here to see my original post) and how it has helped some people with their Inflammatory Bowel Diseases now here is an interesting article which sheds some more evidence that it may indeed help these conditions.

MONTREAL — Vitamin D, touted as the "sunshine cure," might also prevent and fight Crohn's disease, suggests a new study by Montreal researchers.
The discovery has yet to be confirmed by clinical trials, but it raises hopes for the estimated 170,000 Canadians with either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Canada has one of the highest reported rates in the world for Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder that usually affects the lower small intestine.
"Our data suggests for the first time that Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to Crohn's disease," said John White, an endocrinologist at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre.

Vitamin D3 Help with Crohns??


Hi everyone I spoke with this guy named Mike who has taken higher doses of Vitamin D3and he said it has drastically improved his health drastically. I would like to hear from anyone who decides to try this out. I would also suggest you watch this video as this doctor does a great job at talking about Vitamin D and somethings you should do when taking it etc. If you guys have any questions for Mike his email is below so feel free to drop him a line.


Hi, its Mike from Nevada I want to say I was so sick from Crohns for almost 20 years, bleeding, couldn't leave the house because it was so bad. I read somewhere Vitamin D3 mighthelp, so I startedtaking it at 2000 iu a day then to 10000 iu a day. Its been about 3weeks now and everythingstopped, I feel better than I did as a kid. If you do take the higherdoses of D3 many doctors sayyou must check your blood levels so you don't overdose. Give It ashot its under 5 bucks at most anygrocery store and let me know.

Thanks Mike.Hewlettthomas@mac.com
