Seasonal variation and leukemia risk -- vitamin D deficiency suspected

[Juhana Har]

A Finnish study has noticed a seasonal variation in
leukemia risk.

Haematologica. 2007 Nov;92(11):1553-6. Are sunlight
deprivation and influenza epidemics associated with the onset
of acute leukemia? Timonen T, Näyhä S, Koskela T, Pukkala E.
Department of Internal Medicine, Oulu University Hospital,
Oulu, Finland.

Month of diagnosis of 7,423 cases of acute leukemia (AL) in
Finland during 1964-2003 were linked with data on influenza
and solar radiation. Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) showed
the highest risk in the dark season. During the light season,
the incidence decreased by 58% (95% confidence interval,
16-79%) per 1,000 kJ/m(2)/d increase of solar radiation.
Independent of solar radiation, AML increased by 9% (95%
confidence interval, 0-19%) during influenza epidemics.
Reoccurring at the same time annually, darkness-related
vitamin D deficiency and influenza could cause successive and
co-operative mutations leading to AL with a short latency.

Winter, does not mean only less vitamin D

It can also mean less fresh fruits, vegetables, so we are
talking about wide range of vitamins, flavonoids etc.

It has been proven many times over that influenza virus
survives better in cold weather

Proven many times? Then it would be quite easy for you to give
some cites?

take a look here and do not ask sombody to do your homework
and reasearch, I guess you slept all the time

The study finds that the flu virus actually has the ability to
remain in the air for a longer period of time when the weather
is cold and dry, not hot and clammy.

etc.

That would explain the hot air in the lung and the almost
immediate resolution of a cold .. ?

You take a two liter pop bottle and cut the bottom off it and
you take a hair dryer .. any hair dryer will work .. get the
hair dryer nice and hot and then stick it in the bottle and
blow the hot air into your lungs .. take three deeeep breaths
.. repeat this over a period of time .. a few hours .. Cures
it in one day ..

Believe it .. or not ..

Who loves ya. Tom
