Vitamin D supplementation may result in fewer cancer deaths

“My patients respond to the Anticancer Lifestyle Program in a way I find unprecedented in 30 years of Radiation Oncology practice. It helps them feel that we are caring for them, and not just delivering cancer treatment.”

“I am so glad I found the AntiCancer Lifestyle Program. This is an amazing idea and gift. Our son-in-law at 39 has glioblastoma. After surgery, chemo, and radiation we hope, no relapse. Hope, however, is not a plan. My wife and I are changing to help him change.”

In this follow-up analysis, researchers also assessed participants with a normal body mass index (BMI) and found a 38% risk reduction in advanced cancers; this indicated that body mass may be tied to the relationship between vitamin D and the decreased risk.
