More evidence for vitamin D's protective role against childhood diabetes

An article published online on June 5, 2008 in the journal Diabetologia reports the finding of researchers at the University of San Diego's Moores Cancer Center of a correlation between increased sun exposure and a lower incidence of type 1 diabetes in children. Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the skin.

Cedric F. Garland, DrPH, who is a professor of Family and Preventive Medicine in the UC San Diego School of Medicine, and his colleagues examined diabetes type 1 rates in 51 regions, and, after adjusting for cloud cover and per capital health care expenditure, found a lower risk of the disease in areas near the equator where sun exposure is greater, and an increased risk at higher latitudes. In regions with high UVB radiance, the incidence of type 1 diabetes approached zero.

"This is the first study, to our knowledge, to show that higher serum levels of vitamin D are associated with reduced incidence rates of type 1 diabetes worldwide," Dr Garland stated. "This research suggests that childhood type 1 diabetes may be preventable with a modest intake of vitamin D3 (1000 IU/day) for children, ideally with 5 to 10 minutes of sunlight around noontime, when good weather allows. Infants less than a year old should not be given more than 400 IU per day without consulting a doctor. Hats and dark glasses are a good idea to wear when in the sun at any age, and can be used if the child will tolerate them."

"This study presents strong epidemiological evidence to suggest that we may be able to prevent new cases of type 1 diabetes," Dr Garland concluded. "By preventing this disease, we would prevent its many devastating consequences."

That confuses me. Type one is Genetic, and results from a lack of Insulin producing DNA.

How can you prevent something a person born with, short of medical intervention? Or maybe I'm not seeing the bigger picture.

I do not believe that type one is genetic. Genetic is what they say for what they don't understand, just like they say autoimmune disease for what they don't understand. Type one comes on in early childhood. You are not necessarily born with the problem but it can start at age 2 or 3 or 4. Something happens to these kids. They have the genes to produce insulin for a while then they suddenly become diabetic.

As the truth unravels about diabetes it is becoming more and more clear that what they are telling is is wrong. I know someone who has type 1. She said for about a year in her early teens all of a sudden she didn't need insulin. Then the need returned. So how do they explain that?

Reports are coming in that people who have type 1 and 2 are decreasing their need for insulin after an MMS protocol. Some with type 2 have eliminated all need. So what is this all about?

Interesting standpoint.

Although Autoimmune disease is usually a term for the immune system turning gangster, and pretty much doing the opposite to what it's supposed to do, or attacking biological matter it's supposed to help protect and defend.

I think most if not all such diseases have a name, and symptomology, if though in many cases no specific cure, and a disease protocol that permits only stemming of the problem, not reversal.

So in the case of Type 1 Diabetes, you're suggsting, or saying that the Isle Of Langerhans, somehow malfunctions.

I wonder if anyone has done any tests in that case then, to find out if children with Diabetes type 1, were bottle fed?

What is an MMS protocol? Sorry, I'm not sure.

Daisy,

The mms protocol is discussed extensively on its own thread on this forum: /a/ and you can read testimonials here: https://www.healthsalon.org/mms-testimonials/

and further information here: https://www.healthsalon.org/category/mms-testimonials/
If you or someone you love has chronic health problems it is well worth the read.

Something is malfunctioning. I don't have a crystal ball but I do think that there is much more going on than they would have you think. There are also people who have been able to put down the needle with the use of special herbal products, and others who have reduced their needs for insulin or diabetic mediciations.

Herbs generally have 5 basic functions, they tone and balance, they stimulate or they depress functions, and then there are the few that directly attack micro-organisms, so they would be antimicrobial. If herbs are helping some diabetics reduce or get off of diabetic meds then one of these things is happening, I would assume.

Since those who have used mms and had improvement with their diabetes, I am guessing that it is the antimicrobial effect that is doing it, but I am not sure.

For instance, some studies have shown that the Hep C vaccine when given to young children increases the incidence of juvenile diabetes. (so absolutely! make sure every infant receives this vaccine that they don't need to assure a percentage of them become insulin dependent, insuring a lifetime of profit for the pharmaceutical industry, and do you think I believe they are capable of such evilness? I absolutely do)

Now this increase of juvenile diabetes in those receiving Hep C vaccine in infants precipitates an incident. What is the incident? We do not know. But we do know that vaccines dink with the immune system. and we know that some vaccines carry foreign virus and protiens, and some vaccines promote the growth of the actual thing they claim to protect against. So there is an immune damage occurring or there is a microbe issue growing. Thats how I see it anyway.
