Vitamin D Deficiency and Autoimmune Disease

How Vitamin D Prevents Autoimmune Disease

Beschreibung

This book uses medical research to show you exactly why you need to keep your vitamin D level within an ideal range to prevent autoimmune diseases from getting past your immune system. You can use the information in this book to stop autoimmune diseases before they can get started. Hint: It's not the vitamin D level that your doctor recommends. Researchers are discovering more and more evidence that vitamin D deficiency is associated with virtually all of the most serious disease risks that we face today. Recently, compelling evidence has been found that the current epidemic of autoimmune diseases is also associated with vitamin D deficiency. Furthermore, researchers have shown that while the official published guidelines for vitamin D are adequate for preventing rickets, higher vitamin D levels are associated with a significantly reduced risk of developing many other diseases. This book describes the details of how autoimmune disease can develop by exploiting certain features of our immune system. And it explores the role that vitamin D plays in assisting our immune system in preventing the genetic alterations that can lead to autoimmune disease, cancer, and other life-altering issues. The information in this book can be used to learn more about how our immune system relies on vitamin D to function properly and to help safeguard our future health, and to assist in determining an optimum vitamin D level to meet our own personal needs.

Wayne Persky was born, grew up, and currently lives in Central Texas. He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, College of Engineering, with postgraduate studies in mechanical engineering, mathematics, and computer science. He has teaching experience in engineering, and business experience in farming and agribusiness. After the onset of severe digestive system and general health problems in the late 1990s, he went through extensive clinical testing, but the GI specialist was unable to diagose the problem. Afterward, not surprisingly, he was told by his gastroenterologist that there was nothing wrong with him. Unable to find a medical solution, he was forced to search the medical literature in order to resolve his health issues. After extensive study, he identified the likely source of the problem as food sensitivities triggered by the intestinal inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease. After tracking down all his food sensitivities and eliminating them from his diet, he was able to get his life back. Over 15 years later, he continues to actively study new medical research as it becomes available. He currently administrates an online microscopic colitis discussion and support forum. He also founded the Microscopic Colitis Foundation, and he is a regular contributor to the newsletter published by the organization.
