Exactly. Kids completing measles had a lower risk of cancer as kids and as adults. I think that's because they are expelling Vitamin A. Kids going through measles have lower Vitamin A than when they started.Great work @valzim My family is starting to go through cycles where only one of us is sick instead of the whole family. Because it isn't a virus, it's a way for the body to clean out diseased cells so it's actually a good thing because then your risk of all kinds of illnesses goes down. Fever therapy is a treatment for cancer. Children who got measles have a lower risk for disease later on.
I'm curious to see what happens when I am more deficient in vitamin, I mean Poison A. I don't remember getting real sick much over the last dozen years or so. Other than the sniffles, or very mild illness, etc. I remember the last fever because I was in Disney World in 2013. I started feeling bad and had a little fever. I went back to hotel and sat in sun. Even back then I never took anything to lower fever. It lasted 24-36 hours but was not that bad. I know that was the last fever because my wife and I commented on we were rarely sick. That was the last time I had fever until 2 years ago, which was 1 year after going lower Vit A. I wasn't No Vit A like Grant, but I was very eating low. I estimate my Blood level to be 50 at the time. Range is 20-60. This illness was a little more fever, maybe up to 102 and for longer with aches and pains. At some point, I started the meat, beans, rice, oats, apple, banana diet. Extremely low Vit A. Been doing that for 1 year 3 months.
I had my Vit A checked 6 months ago, it was 40. Right in middle of normal range. Like Grant says, Vitamin A takes months and years to get out of your body. NO way anyone can be deficient in it. I did get sick 2 months ago but more mild. Maybe 100 fever max, usually 99, not too many aches, but did last 4-5 days.
It will be interesting to see if, as my blood Retinol goes down, the illnesses get fewer or go away completely. This is what I believe will happen.
Does anyone know if Grant has commented on not being sick as he is now almost at ZERO Vit A?
