Study: This vitamin works just as well as antibiotics

If you’ve watched the news over the last few years, then you know that antibiotic resistant diseases are on the rise.

One of the scariest is necrotizing fasciitis — “skin eating bacteria.”

Because it’s so scary (and exceedingly rare), it catches the public attention in a way that a lot of other diseases that are becoming antibiotic resistant don’t.

But that doesn’t mean that other antibiotic bacteria aren’t out there.

For instance, there are new strains of tuberculosis (TB) that are becoming more and more antibiotic resistant as well as many other bacterial infections.

Typically when strains of a disease become antibiotic resistant researchers try to find more powerful antibiotics or stronger combinations of antibiotics.

The conventional tactic of developing new antibiotics in an attempt to ‘keep up’ with the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria — an arms race that is proving hard for us to win.

This approach has worked, but with limited success rates. It’s hard to win against bacteria that is constantly evolving to beat us — without putting ourselves at risk to kill it.

That’s one of the reasons that the current research into Vitamin D is so exciting.

Vitamin D is one of the fat soluble vitamins that I ALWAYS take when I’m sick. It really seems to give me a boost.

Let’s take a look at the research…

The challenges of antibiotic resistant infections

Today we’re going to look at TB, but in my research on Vitamin D and my personal experience with it, this research can probably be applied to other antibiotic resistant diseases as well.

With TB, the incidence of antibiotic resistance is on the rise.

Multi-treatment resistant TB is on the rise globally. It’s notoriously difficult to treat, and it carries a much worse prognosis than standard TB.

When this happens, the antibiotics that are usually used to kill the bacteria that causes tuberculosis are no longer effective.

Multi-treatment resistant (MDR) TB is caused by bacteria that are resistant to treatment with at least two of the most powerful first-line anti-TB drugs, causing around 500,000 cases and 150,000 deaths per year worldwide. Existing antibiotic treatments for MDR TB are lengthy, costly and often toxic due to their serious side effects.

This isn’t good news, but humans are innovative if nothing else and they are starting to look at Vitamin D as an immune booster.

Vitamin D works to boost the immune system

Vitamin D is also known as the “sunshine” vitamin, because our bodies produce it when we’re exposed to sunlight.

But it can also be taken in pill form, and it’s safe and inexpensive, which are two words that aren’t normally associated with the most advanced antibiotics.
Vitamin D seems to boost the immune response and helps your body fight off the TB.

Our study raises the possibility that vitamin D — which is very safe and inexpensive — could benefit this hard-to-treat group of patients by taking a novel approach to their treatment. By adding vitamin D to antibiotic treatment, we can boost the immune system to help the body to clear TB bugs, rather than relying on antibiotics on their own to kill the bacteria directly.

In this study, they added Vitamin D to the antibiotics.

This is something you can try at home as well. If you have an infection, you may want to try a bit of Vitamin D to help boost the effects of the meds the docs give you.

When added to antibiotic treatment, vitamin D was found to accelerate TB clearance specifically in patients with MDR TB

Vitamin D has very few side effects

If you take Vitamin D in extremely high doses you can get side effects, but in most cases there are generally no side effects…

Except that if you take it at night it can keep you awake, so it’s a good idea to take D first thing in the morning.

The vitamin D supplementation was also found to be safe at the doses administered, with no links to serious adverse events.

Vitamin D has a ton of health benefits

Vitamin D doesn’t just help boost your immune system it can also be protective in many other circumstances including bone health, mood, and the prevention of colds.

While vitamin D is best known for its effects on bone health, previous studies by Queen Mary researchers have revealed its role in protecting against colds, flu, asthma attacks, and last month, that it can protect COPD patients from deadly lung attacks.

I personally think that antibiotics are used all wrong in medicine, but that’s a story for another day.

If you do need to take antibiotics to clear an infection, you may want to consider adding a Vitamin D booster to the mix.
