Het tweede deel van dit
artikel van Ashton Embry gaat over de relatie tussen MS en vitamine D.
De onderzoeken die hij in het artikel noemt, tonen aan dat er een relatie bestaat tussen MS en vitamine D.
Hij zegt het volgende over de relatie tussen CCSVI en vitamine D.

With all these new data relating both CCSVI and vitamin D to MS, an obvious
question becomes “How do CCSVI and vitamin D relate to each other in
MS?” Unfortunately, I do not have a solid answer for this.
The data say vitamin D is very important for controlling autoimmune
reactions and that is one obvious reason why it is so effective in MS. On the
other hand, we know that vitamin D also affects venous health so the
possibility exists that adequate vitamin D in utero and childhood may prevent,
or greatly lessen the effect of, CCSVI. The relationship between vitamin D
and CCSVI in MS is begging for some innovative research.
Deense onderzoekers hebben nu de werking van vitamine D ontdekt i.v.m. het immuunsysteem. Bart had bij de buren al een link naar een soortgelijk
artikel geplaatst.

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have discovered that Vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses and that without sufficient intake of Vitamin D, T-cells, the killer cells of the immune system will not be able to react to and fight off serious, life-threatening infections in the body.
- "We have discovered that the first stage in the activation of a T cell involves Vitamin D," explains Professor Carsten Geisler from the Department of International Health, Immunology and Microbiology." When a T-cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it has an immediate biochemical reaction and extends a signaling device or 'antenna' known as a Vitamin D receptor with which it searches for Vitamin D. This means that the T-cell must have Vitamin D or activation of the cell will cease. If the T cells cannot find enough Vitamin D in the blood, they won't even begin to mobilize."
