A new medical report has revealed that vitamin D3 is effective at killing cancer cells following a trial involving patients with an aggressive form of breast cancer (IBC). The research uses the active form of D3, calcitriol, delivered by quantum dots to IBC tumors. Naturalblaze.com reports: Quantum dots are engineered, miniscule delivery vehicles which can maneuver directly to a tumor site. Our skin can actually manufacture enough levels of calcitriol (vitamin D) in as little as 15 minutes of sunlight per 24 hours. What will hinder this process is sunscreen and how dark we are, the darker the pigmentation of the skin the more sunlight that is needed. Obesity, also curtails the circulation of vitamin D and age reduces the ability to manufacture vitamin D. Vitamin D is found in foods, but the human body synthesizes most of this nutrient from sunlight. Since we now get so little in the way of unhindered sunlight, the new approach is to use Quantum dots and engineered light-emitting nanoscale delivery. The study shows that dots can be used to rapidly move high concentrations of calcitriol to targeted tumor sites where cancer cells are located. They can go through the lymphatic system where the [...]
