I've been taking at least 10k of vitamin D daily since posting this article.
That’s true. Also, nobody drinks milk or eats cheese anymore, because their parents have decided that animal products are evil...so not only do they sit inside all day and avoid the sun, but they also eat nothing that human beings really need.
I also think sunscreen has something to do with this. Parents are insanely concerned about melanoma (which is actually less likely if you have regular sun exposure and maintain a light tan) or even the superficial skin cancers that develop when a person is in their 60s or 70s, so I have seen people slathering 50+ sunscreen on their small dead-white kids. Blocking sun also blocks Vit D development.

Vitamin D deficiency ?
This probably explains the pasty-faced Google and Facebook masters-of-the-universe, who ignore the First Amendment rights of the citizenry.
If you think you are deficient in any vitamin, go buy it.
Don’t take 1 a day, that just keeps you deficient.
Take 10 times the MDR recommended and see if you notice.
That is not too much- it just helps you catch up.
You’d have to take a whole bottle and even then it might not do more than give you the runs.
1. The term, Vitamin, is misunderstood and abused. It is essentially a legal term, dictated un-Constitutionally by the FDA. Scientifically, a vitamin is an organic substance that the body must have, cannot make, and without which it will develop a deficiency disease.
2. The Essential Fatty Acids (2: LA/w6 and ALA/w3) are functionally vitamins, but the FDA refused to recognize them as such (unofficially called Vitamin F in old literature). In contrast, Vitamin D3 [Cholecalciferol] is not a vitamin; it is a cortico-steroid hormone made in the skin in response to full-spectrum sunlight.
3. Human beings in modern society now cover most of their skin when outdoors, while living indoors, with dim, partial-spectrum lighting. Thus, most human beings in urban environments now are by definition D-deficient.
4. Endocrinologists have been prescribing up to 50,000 IU of D3 since at least the early 1990s, and have achieved excellent results, especially in mitigating, even reversing, symptoms of Diabetes.
5. The main proviso is to avoid any Calcium supplementation when taking 40,000 IU or more of D on a regular basis, since the body becomes hyper-efficient in utilizing the macro-mineral.
There was a Medical Director of a Hosp. that directed every admission have vitamin “D”..given...and as I recall...There was a decrease in Hosp. length of stays...
