Others claim that while it may indeed do that, it will boost the immune system and overall health greater than it helps the bugs, and so the bugs eventually get defeated.

Whether it helps your symptoms or not, it would probably be a wise idea to try supplementing more of it just to be sure other enzymatic processes and amino acid processes have what they need to do their correct metabolisms. It could also be a genetic flaw or a result of some kind of damage from metals or whatever. No matter, if there isn't enough, supplementing seems reasonable unless it causes worsening of symptoms.

> I doubt D by itself, or anything by itself for that matter, is going to be a cure for you or any of us. Things are usually more complicated than that. But if you find it useful, that is cool, because it could be one of the pillars in your overall treatment plan. When it comes to natural treatments of anything, good results happen more frequently with cocktails than singular items.Hummm, dont think Vit D can help depression or anxiety and if someone here know it it's me.
I had a gastric by-pass and need to take 50 000 units of vitamin D each day, here they said that the dose of 50 000 units a day is toxic for a normal person.
My Vit D level is tested 3 times a year, they take some blood and look for Vitamin D25 level in the blood. My Vit D level is at 110, I had low level of Vit D especially in the first few years I had the gastric by-pass with Vit D level of 10-20, and to be honnest I dont see a difference in the anxiety state or depression or anything else.
I don't think Vit D can be good for that but can be good for bones especially with calcium as well a magnesium but nothing else...
