After retiring early we finally started taking D3. (Two specialist just knew it was something in the classroom, when it was actually what was not in the room.)
Was on my son to get tested. Finally he did this winter. One niche above "morbid". He's on a 9000/day prescription. He told me he hadn't realized just how bad he was feeling until he'd been on it for a couple of month.
My dad took it before skin cancer treatment. Dr was amazed at how fast he healed.
IMO we are just seeing the tip of the "D" iceberg. Feel absolutely wonderful and haven't had even a cold or the flu in the last couple of years.
It’s amazing. I am so happy for you.
It’s all about the testing. I was taking 2000 units a day, in hot sunny SoCal September 2010, when I had my doctor order a vit D test. Lo and behold, I had a level of 24, very low. While I was exposed to sun daily, and taking 2000 units daily! So I upped my dose to 10,000 units daily and after a few months got tested again, and it was only 45, still not a good therapeutic dose. To prevent cancer, etc, they recommend 60 in the blood or higher. I had to up my dose to 15,000 units. Never felt better in my life with the exception of pregnancy fatigue, lol.
We are all vitamin d deficient and who knows what it’s doing to us? Who knows how many serious flus and cancers could have been prevented? If you take one 600 unit supplement or whatever is in hour useless multivitamin, do you think your vitamin D level is Ok? Bet it’s not. Sadly, everyone needs testing.
My kids take a significant amount and got through this winter without any of the colds, flus, and stomach flus that whipped through their circle of friends.
