At the National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) it was announced that supplementing with Vitamin D supplements may slow or even reverse the progression of less aggressive, or low-grade, prostate tumors without the need for surgery or radiation.

Gleason Grading System
If a tumor is present in a prostate biopsy, the pathologist will grade its aggressiveness on a scale known as the Gleason Grading System
Tumors attracting a score of 7 or above are considered aggressive and are prone to spreading; they will require either surgical removal of the prostate gland or radiation therapy.
However tumors with a score of 6 or less are classed as less aggressive and in some cases may show no symptoms or cause no health problems for the duration of the man’s life.
Bruce Hollis, Ph.D., who is at the Medical University of South Carolina, explained that in cases of a low-grade prostate cancer (a score of 6 or below), many urologists do not treat the disease, but instead initiate “active surveillance,”…”The cure, which means surgery or radiation, is probably worse than the disease, so urologists will wait a year and then conduct another biopsy to see where the patient stands.” That said, knowing that they have even low-grade prostate cancer can cause patients and their family’s excessive anxiety. Bruce Hollis wondered if giving these men vitamin D supplements during the 60-day waiting period would affect their prostate cancer. Previous research had shown that when men with low-grade prostate cancer took vitamin D supplements for a year, 55% of them showed decreased Gleason scores, and in some of the cases the tumors disappeared completely. That said, knowing that they have even low-grade prostate cancer can cause patients and their family’s excessive anxiety
This may prompt some of the men to undergo elective surgery, despite the risk of complications such as infection, urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. But a man must wait at least 60 days from the time of his biopsy before he can undergo surgery, this is that any inflammation caused by the biopsy can wane.
In a new randomized, controlled clinical trial, Bruce Hollis’s team was assigned 37 men who were due to undergo elective surgery; There were two groups, one that received 4,000 IU of vitamin D per day and a second placebo group that didn’t receive vitamin D. The men’s prostate glands were removed and examined 60 days later.
Hollis stated
“The new research suggests that vitamin D supplementation may improve low-grade prostate cancers by reducing inflammation, perhaps lessening the need for eventual surgery or radiation treatment.” He went on to say…
“We don’t know yet whether vitamin D treats or prevents prostate cancer,”
“At the minimum, what it may do is keep lower-grade prostate cancers from going ballistic.” DISCLAIMER: This video and description contains a discount code, which means that if you use the code, I will receive a small commission.
