“Pasteurized, homogenized milk is not healthy.”
can’t be too damaging since I haven’t been sick in 64 years!
Last time I was sick was with the measles when i was 8.
I was taking 3000 a day and became Hypercalcemic, quit taking it and all is well, according to hematologist anyway. I actually wish I could take it, and according to my research, Vitamin D is almost never the cause....Oh well.
itsahoot,
Interesting. Was it D3?
Have you had your serum vitamin D levels tested?
Best,

I’ll add this... http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/766373-overview
A good discussion of hypercalcemia - and if you read it, there are things that could cause it that may not be good still. It is possible the vitamin D triggered/revealed/worsened anther underlying cause... food for thought.
No, my internist made no such claim. However, unlike you, i am not singularly focused on that one fact from this story. I HAVE found, through personal experience, as have a number of people on these threads, that VitD supplements, taken in 2000 units per day doses, have salutary health benefits. I honestly don’t think that physicians are testing for VitD levels, and prescribing supplements to bring up those levels, because its a panacea that will eradicate disease. Your obsessing on that single sentence from the report tends to discredit your criticism of the underlying premise. CJ, my esteemed physician friend, your opinion on the benefits of VitD, taken in moderation?
Modest doses of Vitamin D3(up to 2000IU daily) in Caucasians can be helpful. High doses of either vitamin D or A can be very dangerous, even lethal. I have personally treated 2 cases each of hypervitaminosis A and D. One of the Vitamin A excesses died.
I don’t believe there is adequate peer-reviewed evidence to support universal Vitamin D supplementation. It’s clearly not a panacea.
Still in love with ignorance and death I see!
You are an incompetent “molecular biologist.”
You are truly dangerous, and should be banned from posting.
People that get high sun exposure do to their work have a much lower incidence of Melanoma than the general population, while those that work solely indoors have the highest incidence.
Until the late 19th century, the vast majority of people worked outdoors. Now that a larger percentage of people work indoors, people are dying of chronic diseases at a greater rate, While in earlier times accidental deaths were commonplace.
You are truly delusional, but please keep posting! It is nice to see the personification of ignorant blather represent the anti-science side.
That is like saying “ignore the fecal matter in that banana split... eat around it”.
Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
Saying vitamin D supplementation can reduce your risk of most major diseases by 50-80% makes the author the mayor of crazytown, or a prominent citizen of crazytown at the least (I think some posting here might be in line for the mayoral position).
Some get lucky :)
That post gets a Vitamin A PLUS. ;’)
My thoughts exactly, My Doc's seem content to blame it on the D3, but who knows. Malignant Melanoma comes to mind also, which is probably what their main concern was.
Vitamin D, 25-OH-----Total-----494
Vitamin D, 25-OH-----D3-------44
Vitamin D, 25-OH-----D2--------55
Hemoglobin A1C 5.0
Ha, ha, I take a lot of D now, and I’m still tired and crabby. ;-)
Wow, do you own your own cow? :-)
“And people who lived in tropical locations with lighter skin would have reduced rates of most major diseases by 50-80%. This is obviously not the case.”
Ah, that is what I always wondered about. If D is such a cure-all, then one would think that there would be significantly less cancer, etc. in the tropical climates. There is probably a strong case for the link between a lack of sunshine and MS.
Well, many years ago, most people did not live long enough to contract many chronic illnesses. In fact, the #1 risk factor for most diseases, including cancer, is aging! The majority of cancers occur in people over age 65.
Let’s face it. We are all going to die of something.
