No, this is not an historical piece about World War II, but is on a subject which could
be even more explosive and world changing. For nearly a century, even before it had been discovered, isolated and named, vitamin D has been known to have very powerful beneficial effects on human health. Sunshine is earth's source of energy and the product of it's effects on life forms are the building blocks of life. Sunshine causes photosynthesis in all green plants. Chlorophyll is the product of photosynthesis. It is the main stuff all green plants are made of. In man, sunlight produces vitamin D (actually, vitamin D3, also known as Cholecalciferol) when it strikes human skin in sufficient amount and duration.
Though some of the healing effects of vitamin D have been known since the 1930's, only in the last two or three years have its advocates been able to make significant progress in selling some of its benefits in the medical industry.
Why did the knowledge of the tremendous value of vitamin D remain dormant for so long? This story is one of intrigue, secrecy, money and finally, truth. In the 1930's, medical researchers observed that people who got squamous cell cancers had a much reduced chance of getting many other types of cancer such as those of the breast, prostate and colon.
Naively, knowing little about the causes of cancer, they assumed that getting skin cancer worked as a sort of immune trigger. Today, the truth is coming out into the open. The overexposure to the sun which caused these skin cancers also produced adequate amounts of natural vitamin D to prevent other cancers. The purpose of this treatise is not to prove all of these assertions scientifically. That is done quite well by researchers whose work can be found carefully catalogued here:

The things asserted here should be shocking to everyone who has not been following these recent developments. When the inverse relationship between skin cancers and other types was first identified early in the last century, it should have caused a natural progression of medical research leading to the connection between vitamin D and cancer. Instead, the money trail led in another direction.
As researchers for pharmaceutical companies and the "independent" labs they finance and therefore control made these obvious observations, they were stopped in their tracks. If vitamin D, available from the sun for free could prevent and treat cancer, they could not benefit from it, financially. As has become the pattern of the medical industry, they had been trying for decades to find a patentable analog of vitamin D to give them a "piece of the action" along with God (or "nature" for those not willing to believe in God). Today, after all these years, it is becoming obvious that the original "miracle drug" designed by the Miracle Worker cannot be improved on or patented. The secret is finally coming out: vitamin D from the sun or Cholecalciferol from other natural sources can prevent and successfully treat many of the deadly diseases which plague mankind.
Among conditions which seem to respond to proper levels of vitamin D are:

The links above are to the information which has been uncovered in the last few years regarding the possible benefits of vitamin D. By no means is the final verdict in on whether it can cure these conditions, but enough signs are appearing to cause a
reasonable person to begin to make certain that they and their families not be walking around in a vitamin D deficient condition. It will be years before the "proof" is strong enough for FDA to come on board, especially in light of the position they have taken over the years and the financial damage which will be done to the pharmaceutical companies when people start being healthier year round as they seem to be in the sunny summer and due to supplementation of vitamin D.
Though most Americans are chronically vitamin D deficient, especially during the winter, blacks and other dark-skinned people are especially vulnerable. Dark skin blocks UVB sun rays. It takes 5-10 times as much time in the sun to get the same blessing as it does for white skinned people. Compounding the problem for dark skinned people is the fact that the only common food which provides significant vitamin D is milk and Over 75% of blacks are lactose intolerant and drink very little milk. Only about 21% of whites are lactose intolerant.
The revelations of the vital need for vitamin D in humans and the higher than heretofore believed levels which are necessary for full benefits are being made at an alarming rate.
This "D-Day" could prove to be the most earth-shaking time in modern health history.
Since very little money can be made from the associated products, and much is to be
lost by the medical industry, the ensuing battles will be brutal. Already researchers
are losing their jobs and being vilified by their peers as was Dr. Vieth when he
reported that 14 of 15 prostate cancer patients responded favorably to vitamin D
treatment. The question for researchers and other medical professionals is whether
they will be willing to stick to their guns and fight this noble war. The question
for the public now is, "Do you want to stay vitamin D deficient and continue to risk
your health?"
