TO: All melanoma researchers, doctors, and patients.
It seems to me that with Vitamin D3, a person would be melanoma-free for life. I realize that's a pretty bold opinion coming from an amateur with irrelevant degrees in electrical engineering, but just consider the following when forming your own viewpoint.
We know that vitamins are essential to life, and without them, a person ultimately dies. Yet the current medical textbooks do not list a deadly Vitamin D deficiency condition with these most basic characteristics:
1. Fast-spreading.
2. Affects both genders.
3. Affects all ages.
4. Primarily affects the skin, since it is practically the sole source of Vitamin D.
Melanoma--the cause of which remains unknown--seems like a perfect match, doesn't it?
(In recent years there has been a smattering of researchers speculating that prostate, breast, and colon cancers arise from D-deficiency--even though none of the diseases afflict young children, who are just as susceptible to Vitamin D deficiency as adults.)
Presumably, even late-stage melanoma patients will benefit from high-dose Vitamin D3 therapy. As the distinguished Dr. Joel E. Goldthwait put it: "Nature is ready to repair damages if a chance is given."
