Severe hand, foot, and mouth virus is 2.9 X more likely if poor Vitamin D receptor – Oct 2018

HFMD rarely fatal, but is increasing

• Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease (virus) strongly associated with low vitamin D – May 2017
  This viral disease has been prevelant in Asia and increasing perhaps 10X in a decade
  Apparently started in the US around 2010 - but is not tracked (No ID code?)
  HFMD is associated with Low Vitamin D
  The more severe the HFMD, the lower the vitamin D level
  Children dying of HFMD have the lowest levels of vitamin D
  
• Virus category listing has 1395} items along with related searches
• 46 diseases were strongly associated with Vitamin D Receptor as of Oct 2018

Vitamin D Receptor category has the following

530 studies in Vitamin D Receptor category

Vitamin D tests cannot detect Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) problems
A poor VDR restricts Vitamin D from getting in the cells

See also: 48 studies in the Resveratrol category

It appears that 30% of the population have a poor VDR (40% of the Obese )
Several diseases protect themselves by deactivating the Vitamin D receptor. Example: Breast Cancer
- - - - - - - -
The Vitamin D Receptor is associated with many health problems

Health problems include: Autoimmune (19 studies), Breast Cancer (24 studies), Colon Cancer (13 studies), Cardiovascular (23 studies), Cognition (16 studies), Diabetes (24 studies), Hypertension (9 studies), Infant (22 studies), Lupus (6 studies), Metabolic Syndrome (4 studies), Mortality (4 studies), Multiple Sclerosis (14 studies), Obesity (17 studies), Pregnancy (24 studies), Rheumatoid Arthritis (10 studies), TB (8 studies), VIRUS (37 studies),   Click here for details
Some health problems, such as Breast Cancer, Diabetes, and COVID protect themselves by reducing VDR activation

How to increase VDR activation

Compensate for poor VDR by increasing one or more:

Increasing	Increases
1) Vitamin D supplement  Sun Ultraviolet -B	Vitamin D in the blood and thus in the cells
2) Magnesium	Vitamin D in the blood  AND in the cells
3) Omega-3	Vitamin D in the cells
4) Resveratrol	Vitamin D Receptor
5) Intense exercise	Vitamin D Receptor
6) Get prescription for VDR activator    paricalcitol, maxacalcitol?	Vitamin D Receptor
7) Quercetin (flavonoid)	Vitamin D Receptor
8) Zinc is in the VDR	Vitamin D Receptor
9) Boron	Vitamin D Receptor ?, etc
10) Essential oils e.g. ginger, curcumin	Vitamin D Receptor
11) Progesterone	Vitamin D Receptor
12) Infrequent high concentration Vitamin D Increases the concentration gradient	Vitamin D Receptor
13) Sulfroaphane and perhaps sulfur	Vitamin D Receptor
14) Butyrate especially gut	Vitamin D Receptor
15) Berberine	Vitamin D Receptor

Note: If you are not feeling enough benefit from Vitamin D, you might try increasing VDR activation. You might feel the benefit within days of adding one or more of the above

Far healthier and stronger at age 72 due to supplements Includes 6 supplements that help the VDR
