Ping.
Oh my goodness! I’ve been taking 8g of Vitamin D per day for some months now and just never made the connection, but it’s true: my asthma, which at times has been life-threatening, has not troubled me in the least. I’ve been gardening despite all the pollen, sleeping with a dog or two, shedding out my horse, hiking, you name it. Am I medication-free? No, but the next thing to it.
P.S.: The National Jewish Research Center is absolutely the best for research into respiratory and immune disorders—the “court of last resort” for the most difficult cases in the U.S. and in the world.
A follow on study would be to supplement these patients with Vitamin D for a year and track results.
Prediction: In most cases, the supplementation will be useless. If the gut cannot absorb the nutrient, no amount of supplementation will be effective.
Solution: Heal the gut, absorption of essential nutrients and effectiveness of supplementation increases.

I’ve been trying to research this, but can’t find a trusted source. does anyone know the safe level of Vitamin D to take daily?
I’ve been taking vitamin D and it does make a difference. ALA and Acetyle L Carnitine are good also. I would recommend people be careful with Vitamin A I was accidentally taking a bit too much and it was causing headaches.

“Overconsumption of vitamin A can cause nausea, irritability and blurred vision in its mild form. In addition, the palms of the hands and the bottoms of the feet can turn orange if a person has a high intake of Vitamin A. Vitamin A toxicity can cause growth retardation, hair loss and enlarged spleen and liver in its more severe form. Vitamin A overdose can also cause birth defects and has been linked to increased risk of bone fractures in some people. “
