When we don't have enough Vitamin D to activate the anti-inflammatory compounds in our bodies (like Interleukin-10), then the inflammation continues and spreads throughout the sympathetic nervous system and beyond. In case you are not aware, Vitamin D has been shown to reduce cancer risk as well as bacterial and viral infections and may play a whole host of other roles in the body -- Check out the Vitamin D council website.
