My doctor placed me on 50,000 IU of vitamin D a couple weeks ago. I had been taking 4,000 IU per day for the previous 18 months. After two different blood analysis, he said, "your vitamin D level is way low."

Anyway, it's been two weeks now and I'm not dead yet, lol.

I probably would have objected to such a large dose but I'd recently read in Science News about people on doses of 100,000 IU's.

Thanks, blam.

If vitamin D deficiency weakens us then I can see where that may have contributed to his succumbing to just about anything.

Good that they mentioned the effect of latitude.

The sawbones here has had me on D-3 and Niacin, this as a way of addressing numbers he didn’t like in my blood work.
