No false hopes - some of our reports --

A few of our reports include information you can use immediatly such as increasing vitamin D-3 intake if approved by your doctor (this is not the Vitamin D you get in over the counter pills or milk and can cause dangerous changes in blood calcium levels - but compared to the alternative...)

But most MM news is about discoveries and possible treatments which may take years to prove or implement. Still, with no really good chemo for MM, every scrap of news can be helpful.

At least that is our view.

Vitamin D-3

There is a lot of bad information out there about MM, chief is the warning to use sunblock. Actually it can be dangerous. UVA is dangerous and is passed through window glass - it also destroys 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 which protects against MM. UVB exposure produces D3 in human skin. Evidence? see my website for extensive citations but studies show that high levels of D3 cuts MM mortality by 50% and that indoor workers are less likely to get MM but more likely to die of it.

This blog will periodically report the latest information from published medical sources, not rumors or quack medicine.
