Multiple Sclerosis & D
A new controlled trial in Ireland will test whether giving vitamin D to patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is beneficial. Recent research at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey has indicated an association between vitamin D levels and the body's ability to fight MS, so the controlled trial is welcome news.
The Vitamin D Council has a patient-friendly section outlining the possible link between MS and Vitamin D.
Tuberculosis & D
Over 100 years ago doctors observed that moving patients to sunny environments ameliorated their symptoms of tuberculosis (TB), although the reason was not understood. Today, scientific studies are beginning to identify vitamin D, generated by the skin's exposure to sunlight, as one of the keys to activating the body's immune response to the bacteria that causes TB.
