Connection between vitamin D deficiency and cancer outcomes, as well as susceptibility to infectious diseases, asserted by medical practitioner.
In a recent interview with news anchor Jeffcoat, Dr. Yusuf Saleeby, a senior fellow at the International Medicine Academy and an expert in functional and integrative medicine, discussed the importance of personalized approaches to cancer screening.
Dr. Saleeby emphasized that cancer screenings are not a "one-size fits all" process, as mainstream medicine tends to be. He highlighted the need for tailored recommendations for patients who are high-risk but wish to avoid unnecessary radiation or invasive procedures.
The interview, which does not focus on advertisements, also delved into the role of vitamin D in cancer outcomes and other health issues. According to Dr. Saleeby, a lack of vitamin D is often linked to cancer outcomes and infectious diseases. This claim is supported by a recent study published in The Lancet, a weekly peer-reviewed medical journal.
The study revealed that countries with rising cancer mortality rates as the leading cause of death include the United States, Brazil, and several European nations. In light of this, Dr. Saleeby recommended vitamin D supplementation, sensible sun exposure, and regular screening to prevent vitamin D deficiency in patients.
Saleeby also shared his observations of more instances of bad outcomes with cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases in patients who lack vitamin D.
The interview is an example of Dr. Saleeby's expertise in functional and integrative medicine and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking information on cancer screening and the role of vitamin D.
