Cancer risks due to long-term Vitamin D deficiency |

Hello Dr. Mercola, I have a vitamin D deficiency that went undiagnosed for 10 years, which led to osteomalacia. Thanks to one of your articles I read on Mercola.com last fall, I became aware of the symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency, asked my doctor to test me, and I am now in recovery, with my D levels within normal range. My question is, do the elevated cancer risks disappear when Vitamin D levels are optimized or is there a lasting effect? Thank you, Julie Ries Winters, CA

I am delighted that the information I posted was able to help you. Please remember that vitamin D is not only a potent prevention of cancer but it also treats cancer. Some of the hottest cancer research right now is developing vitamin D analogs to treat certain cancers.
They are working on analogs because they can't sell the real vitamin D for a profit.
But the main point is that once you get your vitamin D levels in the healthy range (ideally from sunshine not oral vitamin D) then any malignant cells that may have developed should rapidly reverse assuming you have the other 12 cancer factors in place that I have previously addressed.
