About Vitamin D And Autoimmune Disease: How Vitamin D
Product Description 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. About the Author 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 failed to take biopsies during a colonoscopy exam, and even failed to test for celiac disease. 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 use his research skills to discover innovative ways to resolve his health issues. After extensive study, he identified the likely source of the problem as food sensitivities. It took a year and a half of avoiding all traces of gluten, plus trial and error experimentation with other foods, and careful record-keeping, to track down all of the food issues. But once he eliminated all of them from his diet, he got his life back. He currently administrates an online microscopic colitis discussion and support board, while continuing to research medical issues that are not adequately addressed by mainstream medicine.
