But...but...but....I thought MSM (Main Stream Medicine) said that vitamin supplements were a waste of money. I’m confused.

But I’ve been taking 6000 IU D3/day for years now. And, yes, in my opinion, all disorders associated with vitamin D deficiency — and there are MANY — should be considered iatrogenic in nature. Between MSM’s terrifying people about the “risks” of taking more than 400IU as supplements, and their terrifying people about the risks of sun exposure, all Vitamin D associated disease can be laid at the feet of the FDA, AMA, and MSM.

In my medical career, I have had the opportunity to care for several patients who were intoxicated with fat-soluble vitamins, two with Vitamin A and two with Vitamin D. In only one was the intoxication not iatrogenic and she died.

The two patients with hypervitaminosis D both survived, however they were very ill for weeks.

I’d really rather not go there again, thank you.

6000? I thought the safe level was 4000 IU?
