Another Forefront report is about preventing type 1 diabetes. Robert Sherman, MD has found a protein called Reg II a new islet derived auto antigen protein that appears to prompt the immune system to go daft and destroy the beta cells.

Normally, the Reg proteins cause the cells to grow and regenerate more beta cells. In the case of type 1 diabetes the new auto antigen does just the opposite and kills the beta cell. Why these crazy things happen is the subject of his research.

Somehow this is why the people of Finland seem to have discovered that if children under one year of age can cut the incidence of diabetes 1 by 80% by using 1,000 IU of D3 daily. Remember D2 is not D3 and will not work to prevent diabetes.

Just last June at the American Diabetes National meeting, a paper was presented that said that that when the D3 was increased to 2,000 IU 80% at one year of age, Diabetes 2 was presented in a period of time that is not quite clear. No one yet knows if you have to take more D to prevent diabetes years later.

If Vitamin D is so hot, can you take more to push things from 80% to 100%? Stay tuned. Remember Vitamin D is a hormone, not a fat soluble vitamin and most doctors have not even got that right yet. We do know that D3 is a marvelous immune modulator. We know it drops the incidence of many cancers 96%.

It’s your time.
