Vitamin D and Rise of the allergy pandemic

Introduction of oral vitamin D supplementation and the rise of the allergy pandemic
Matthias Wjst

Abstract
The history of the allergy pandemic is well documented, enabling us to put the vitamin D hypothesis into its historical context. The purpose of this study is to compare the prevalence of rickets, vitamin D supply, and allergy prevalence at 50-year intervals by means of a retrospective analysis of the literature since 1880. English cities in 1880 were characterized by an extremely high rickets prevalence, the beginning of commercial cod liver oil production, and the near absence of any allergic diseases.

When the body has normal levels of B-12, the negative effects of a compound called homocysteine can be counteracted. Homocysteine at moderately high levels has long been associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
