What extremely important blood test should everyone get to prevent future cancer risk?

Answer: Vitamin D

Why? Two vitamin D studies have revealed it may prevent up to half the cases of breast cancer (Journal of Steroid BioChemistry and Molecular Biology) and two thirds of colorectal cancer (American Journal of Preventive Medicine). Those with the highest levels of vitamin D had the lowest risk of breast cancer.

Daily doses of 2000 iu resulted in the decreases. If you haven’t had a blood level for vitamin D, I would go to your physician and ask get it done. It’s a simple, inexpensive blood test that should be mandatory for all people. This is especially true for anyone living in the northern climes, always uses sunscreen, or does not get outdoors frequently.

These reductions in cancer incidence are extremely significant and far greater than nearly any other intervention. Lifeworks Wellness Center can perform the test. Inquire at 727 466 6789.
