A new study published in the Journal of Geriatric Psychology and Neurology reveals that vitamin D deficiency leads to significant mental decline as people age.
The study followed 2,000 people aged 65 and above, comparing their vitamin D levels to their degree of cognitive impairment. Those with the highest vitamin D levels had the least cognitive impairment while those with the lowest vitamin D levels had the greatest cognitive impairment.
If allowed to progress, cognitive impairment is usually diagnosed as dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Modern medicine has no real answers for treating either one: Their pharmaceuticals don't work and they still refuse to teach patients about the importance of vitamin D.
Notably, vitamin D is also the most impressive anti-cancer vitamin of all: It has been shown to halt nearly 4 out of 5 cancers all by itself. (http://www.naturalnews.com/021892.html)
The population of advanced nations is universally vitamin D deficient due to spending most of their time indoors, resulting in a sunlight deficiency. This study correlating vitamin D with cognitive impairment may explain why the people of these nations have become so mentally impaired over the last few generations.
One or two generations ago, when their parents or grandparents used to work outside on their own farms, sunlight exposure was much higher. Cancer rates were low and mental function was much higher. But as societies "advanced," their workers moved indoors, into offices with fluorescent lights. Vitamin D deficiency skyrocketed while IQs plummeted.
That's why today we have the most cognitively impaired population any advanced nation has ever seen (a fact that should be obvious by observing the way people vote). The remedy, of course, is supplementary vitamin D through various fish oil products or straight vitamin D3 supplements. But medical experts are still trying to keep vitamin D a secret, hoping that the population won't catch on and start taking vitamin D supplements (which would largely put the cancer industry out of business).
