Vitamin D deficiency and Acne

Vitamin D and Acne and Hormones
by: Kerri Knox, RN-The Immune Health Queen!

Hi Jude,

Since Vitamin D IS a hormone, that is something like asking if estrogen has anything to do with hormonal balance. It MUST because it IS a hormone!

I know that we CALL it VITAMIN D, but that is only because the discoverers THOUGHT it was a vitamin and since it ACTED like a vitamin, and they had already named vitamins A, B and C.... Well, you get it.

But it REALLY is a hormone. In fact, it is a hormone with MULTIPLE MULTIPLE functions, in some ways, it is one of the most important hormones in your body because it controls so many different genes.

And as far as Acne is concerned, one treatment for acne that is not used much any more is UV Light therapy. Well, back in the 1930's, a dermatiologist by the name of AIERLIN T.R. MAYNARD, M.D speculated that UV Therapy worked because it produced vitamin D. So, he began giving doses in the range of about 10,000 IU's per day (while getting regular blood levels) to a few of his acne patients.

He was so impressed with the results that he began using it on all of his acne patients and had such good results that he rarely used any other treatment!!

While he did not do any formal studies, he reported about 83 case studies in which his conclusion was,

"I believe I may say that at no time in my dermatological experience have I felt such complete satisfaction with a treatment as I have with the cases of this series. I know that vitamin D is an imperfect weapon to slay this disfiguring disease, but it undoubtedly gives one a feeling of being well defended. From the patients? viewpoint, it has left little to be desired, as they find themselves improving, both in appearance and in general well-being. Many have expressed the sentiment, 'Never felt better.' "

It's really too bad that his observations are not noted today.

Hope that this helped.
