Dr. Mercola Interviews Carole Baggerly: Discuss Know Breast Cancer & Vitamin D3

I was thrilled that Know Breast Cancer’s good friend, Carole Baggerly, founding director of Grassroots Health in San Diego, and public education director for Dr Cedric Garland’s Vitamin D3 research, was interviewed by Dr. Joseph Mercola, the creator of the #1 health blog, mercola.com last week.

Carole did Know Breast Cancer proud by describing us as THE ONLY national breast cancer organization that is educating women about the importance of using high levels of Vitamin D3 for breast cancer prevention.

Carole also noted that Know Breast Cancer is one of the only breast cancer education groups to help women understand the importance and the safety of having an annual thermogram to help prevent breast cancer.

See the interview in it’s entirety: Know Breast Cancer is mentioned during the last ten minutes of the tape. She saved the best for last!!!

Remember.. memorize your current vitamin D3 blood level, found when you have a simple hydroxy 25 blood test. The test can be ordered by your physician and should be covered by medical insurance.

If you don’t have medical insurance, go to www.grassrootshealth.net and order your own test on line. You can also become part of a research project that Grassroots Health is currently conducting.

Meanwhile.. begin to get lots of sun (a half hour a day if you live in a southern climate or when it is summer time in your northern climate) Also it is critical to take lots of vitamin D3 supplements until you reach the magic 60-80 ng/ml level.

This rise in your Vitamin D3 blood level can take a few years, esp if you are over 50 and live in a cold northern climate…. where the sun don’t shine much of the time

Also: The importance of knowing your Vitamin D3 level is critical to knowing which level vitamin D3 supplements you need to take, to bring your blood level up to a breast cancer-fighting level – 60/80 ng/ml.

Rule of Thumb: If you are currently below 50 ng/ml.. take 5,000 to 10,000 IUs a day for six months to a year and check your numbers again.
