Recent studies have consistently shown the positive link between Vitamin D and health improvement. Vitamin D has been shown to improve lung health, new asthma treatments, and the prevention of breast and colon cancer. For example, the research is showing that daily intake of 1,000 units of Vitamin D cuts the odds of getting colon cancer by about half, and the chances of breast and ovarian cancer by about one third.
It is well known that sensible, regular exposure to ultraviolet sunlight helps the body produce Vitamin D. You cannot “overdose” on Vitamin D that is produced through UV exposure (but of course you might get badly sunburn so never over-expose your body to sunlight!). What is less well known is that vitamin D supplements can be very harmful in certain circumstances.
Among the many important functions of vitamin D is absorption of calcium. Vitamin D greatly increases absorption of calcium into the blood stream (from the food you eat), and hence into the body generally.
The big danger is that if milk is consumed on the same day that vitamin D supplements are taken, the bloodstream is overwhelmed with calcium, and this can cause harmful calcification just about anywhere in the body. Calcification of the body is known to be at the root of much illness such as stroke, cancer and heart disease, to name but a few of the conditions.
When dairy milk is consumed, the casein protein in milk makes the bloodstream go acidic. This happens before all the calcium in milk gets to the bloodstream. The body reacts by pulling calcium from the bones into the bloodstream (calcium is very alkaline and this helps to neutralize the blood).
As the milk is gradually digested, calcium from the milk enters the bloodstream. As this happens, calcium levels in the blood become too high. In a kind of “knee-jerk” reaction hormones in the body get rid of the excess calcium in the bloodstream by ’storing it’ it in different parts of the body, leading to harmful calcification and illness.
When vitamin D supplements are taken on days that dairy milk is consumed, the problems are compounded by increasing further the amount of excess calcium in the bloodstream. Doctors have a name for this: hypercalcemia, a condition that can result in serious illness. For this reason it is important to avoid dairy milk on days that vitamin D supplements are taken.
To avoid the health problems associated with hypercalcemia and harmful calcification it is important to never take vitamin D supplements on days that dairy milk is consumed. An ideal solution is to switch to non-dairy milk which is far more delicious and nutritious than dairy milk. If non-dairy milk is not readily available, you can easily make your own milk at home from a variety of ingredients that can be stored or frozen.
