Vitamin C relieves pain induced by herpes zoster
A German study of 67 shingles patients who received intravenous vitamin C alongside standard treatment for about 14 days found only 6.4 percent developed post-herpetic neuralgia. The authors say the data suggest ascorbic acid may ease zoster pain, skin findings and fatigue.

New vitamin D tests not accurate as desired
Loyola researchers tested 163 blood samples and found the Abbott Architect assay off by at least 25 percent in 40 percent of specimens and the Siemens Centaur2 in 48 percent. Both flagged more deficiency than the reference LCMS method, which found 33 samples deficient against 45 and 71.

The Key Vitamin to use with Vitamin D to Help Reduce Osteoporosis by 25 Percent
New research suggests lifetime supplementation with vitamin K, vitamin D3 and calcium is likely to reduce fractures and improve survival in postmenopausal women. A K1, D3 and calcium combination cut the lifetime probability of at least one fracture by 20 percent; K2 with D3 cut it by 25 percent.

Correction of This Vitamin Deficiency Shown to Improve Seizure Control in Epilepsy
In one study, epilepsy patients given a single large dose of vitamin D3 saw seizures fall by an average of 40%. Mercola notes that nearly half of people with epilepsy are deficient, since seizures can limit time outdoors and anti-epileptic drugs disrupt vitamin D metabolism.

Prediabes people with high Vitamin D at lower risk for diabetes - study
An observational study in Diabetes Care tracked about 2,000 people with prediabetes in the Diabetes Prevention Program for nearly three years and found those with the highest plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D were 20 to 30 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

Vitamin D cuts risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus
In a Diabetes Care study of 2,039 people at high risk, those in the highest tertile of 25-hydroxyvitamin D were 28 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes over 2.7 years than those in the lowest, after adjusting for the lifestyle interventions being tested.

Vitamin C cures polio, pneumonia and leukemia
The piece relays a NaturalNews article claiming Frederick Klenner cured polio and pneumonia patients with mega-dose vitamin C in the 1940s and 1950s, and recounts a New Zealand man with pneumonia and leukemia recovering after his family demanded intravenous and then liposomal vitamin C.
Vitamins
Vitamin D may indeed help fight cancer
A report in Mutation Research argues vitamin D may guard against cancer by protecting DNA from free-radical damage and regulating cell growth. The authors cite a trial where supplements cut a marker of oxidative damage in colorectal cells, plus animal and cell-culture work.

This free vitamin helps fight prostate cancer
In a trial reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 52 men with low-risk prostate cancer took 4,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily for a year, and most of those who finished saw their Gleason scores fall. David Marshall's team tracked PSA every two months and rebiopsied.

Do you know how to prevent lethal prostate cancer?
Among men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, those whose prediagnostic vitamin D was in the highest quartile were 57 percent less likely to develop lethal prostate cancer than those in the lowest. No significant link appeared with prostate cancer overall.

Eating vitamin E, vitamin C rich food may help cut heart disease risk
A Frontiers in Bioscience review notes observational studies tie vitamin E and C use to lower coronary heart disease risk, since both antioxidants may curb the LDL oxidation behind atherosclerosis. Several large randomised trials, though, have not confirmed a supplement benefit.

This vitamin lowers your high blood pressure - new study
Pooling 29 trials, researchers found a median 500 mg a day of vitamin C for about eight weeks lowered systolic pressure by 3.84 mm Hg and diastolic by 1.48 mm Hg, with slightly larger drops in people with hypertension. The authors call for long-term trials.

The Vitamin You Need for a Sharp Brain as You Age - Yet 1 in 4 are Deficient
People with high levels of markers for vitamin B12 deficiency scored lower on cognitive tests and had smaller total brain volume, recent research found. Mercola notes blood levels are an unreliable marker and that vegetarians, vegans and heavy coffee drinkers face higher risk.

Breaking cancer news: Dietary vitamin D fights breast cancer
Mice with MCF-7 breast cancer xenografts fed 5,000 IU/kg of ordinary vitamin D3 showed significant tumor shrinkage in more than half of cases, matching the effect of injected calcitriol without the side effects the active form produced.

Could this Simple Vitamin Help Treat Psychotic Disorders Better than Drugs?
Off-label antipsychotic prescriptions doubled from 4.4 million in 1995 to 9 million in 2008, and half a million children got at least one in 2007. The piece argues many may be unnecessary and that correcting a vitamin B3 deficiency may help some people with psychotic disorders.

Vitamin D deficiency may boost risk of multiple sclerosis
A review in Current Opinion in Neurology reports that high 25(OH)D at a first demyelinating event tracks with lower multiple sclerosis risk, as do high maternal levels for offspring. One small trial found no slowing of progression, but the authors call it underpowered.

Vitamin D linked to lower risk of heart disease in type 2 diabetes patients
In a 12-week double-blind trial of 90 people with type 2 diabetes, a daily vitamin D-fortified Persian yogurt drink improved inflammatory markers such as highly sensitive C-reactive protein, and adding calcium brought further anti-inflammatory benefit.
