I'm afraid I disagree with that one. Yes, I do believe that Vitamin D does
help, and my doctor did indeed tell me to take more. The trouble is that it
took several months before I realized what was causing bradycardia. Finally
I realized it was the dose of Vitamin D I was taking (1000).

At first I didn't believe it. I was only suspicious. So I would take it
for a few days, stop, take it for a few days, stop for a few and so on.
After I repeated this about 3 times, my suspicion was confirmed.

Vitiamin D may well prevent cancer, but in some patients now, I also believe
it can cause severe heart irregularities. (For some reason, Vitamin E does
the same thing, at a strenght of only 400. I don't know why and wish it
weren't so.)

Since I have dropped both the Vitamin D and E, I haven't had a single
instance of bradycardia (and believe me, patients can feel it! They don't
need an ECG to know that something very frightening is happening with their
heart).

I guess it's all a toss-up for me. Do I want to risk cancer tomorrow, or a
heart-attack today?

If there were a drug that could reduce colorectal cancer by 50%, it
would be enforced by state laws at the point of a gun that everyone be
required to take it.

Every doctor's office would be swamped by drug reps advising the
physicians to prescribe this drug.
