And why is it up to you to decide that people who cannot tolerate Vitamin D supplements should not participate in this thread?

Just recently there were articles in the news that SEVERE KIDNEY DAMAGE can result if you do NOT need Vitamin D and you follow the Online-Vitamin-D-Panacea-Crowd and take large amounts, because "EVERYONE" needs it and "nobody" EVER gets a vitamin D overdose.

In large quantities this vitamin can cause an excess of calciulm in the bloodstream that can damage the body's internal organs due to it's toxicity. High Vitamin D symptoms may be difficult to diagnose as Vitamin D overdose symptoms may only manifest themselves when problems develop with the heart, the kidneys and the lungs.

.....Vitamin D toxicity can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weakness, weight loss, as well as confusion and heart rhythm abnormalities, according to the NIH....

.....A National Cancer Institute study last summer was the latest to report no cancer protection from vitamin D and the possibility of an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in people with the very highest D levels. Super-high doses --- above 10,000 IUs a day --- are known to cause kidney damage, and Tuesday's report sets 4,000 IUs as an upper daily limit â€" but not the amount people should strive for...
