Sorry about your friend and her struggles with cancer. Thank you for posting this because it makes a lot of sense.
32 is still pretty deficient. Football is a rough sport. I’d want to see my team be over 50 at least.
I always wonder why orthopedists don’t push their patients to be tested and supplement enough.

Woo hoo, LoneStar! Awesome story! Though I bet that shoulder hurt.
I believe in supplementing to about 60.
I do hope this helps people to at least THINK about the possibilities. I've always thought sunshine was a good more than bad thing. (Just like dessert...better in moderation, but have it once in a while, just don't eat the whole pie ;-) ---but then again, I'm from MN too...and when I was growing up, we didn't see much sun until July and August and then...watch out--lot's of lobster red Scandinavians!!!
My doctor’s conclusion after latest blood work was that I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Just began taking 50,000 MU 3 times a week, and 2,000 mu D3 per day. Was surprised at the recommendation, but am predominantly a northern, indoor person. If anything, I need more exercise. Does anyone make an excercise bike that produces beer?
That's in line with what I've seen in some other threads. I guess they jump start start you before bringing you to a maintenance dose.
Interesting!
After 7 years of using the MP, my diabetes is gone, the osteoporisis is almost gone, as are the rest of my troubles with a long term case of sarcoidosis. I can wax quite enthusiastic about this, but did not in the previous post.
You'd likely get the same results had you treated those mice with prednisone. Neither prednisone nor Vitamin D is a cure, but both can make you feel pretty good.
If you are healthy, extra vitamin D just acts like a low dose of prednisone. It's a potent anti-inflammatory.
You are 72 and healthy. I've been in and out of the hospitals since I was 33, it took about 8 years for the docs to figure out it was sarcoid. And I was a happy user of vitamins before that time, and for the next 20 years. High vitamin D use did not prevent or resolve the problems.
I do hope you stay healthy. But I don't believe it has much to do with Vitamin D use.
actually, i was thinking about the lack of sunshine if the players are inside all the time...
Hope you continue to get better.
My understanding is those with “sarcoid” have problems with Vitamin D...so I think you are the exception...not the rule...
I know folks with Rheumatoid Arthritis for whom avoiding Vitamin D, and the rest of the MP, is a cure.
